Zhao Ling gently pushed away Chen Ao, who was a little improper, and said with a smile: "Get out of here!"

Chen Ao knew that she was thin-skinned, so he said: "What's the matter, it's not like we're not without the first time." At that time, we were much more presumptuous in the tomb than we are now......"

Zhao Ling's face turned red and said angrily: "You still say!"

Chen Ao smiled: "Okay, okay, don't say it, don't say it......"

Zhao Ling helped him sit on the edge of the bed and poured a cup of herbal tea. After Chen Ao drank a few sips, Zhao Ling refilled the water and said, "Chen Ao, I observed it today. There is no weather of war in Jizhou City at all, and even the city walls seem to be in disrepair. First, the equipment to defend the city is even less prepared. I really don't know what the guards of Jizhou are thinking!"

Zhao Ling's tone was quite dissatisfied. It's just that she knows her current identity, and she has already reined in her previous habits a lot. Especially now that she is with Chen Ao, she has recovered her daughter's temperament, and she is no longer the decisive appearance she used to be.

Chen Ao has always seen such changes in Zhao Ling in his eyes, and the beauty is in his heart. Hearing her words, he couldn't help but sneer and said, "Jizhou Guard, Hmph! That Guo Wenhui is a literati, and his gang of people have no ability. Now they are still dreaming of singing and dancing to become peaceful, thinking that the Khitans are still like before, just looting on the border, and they will not fight here!"

Zhao Ling sighed, and Chen Ao said again: "Hmph, if I hadn't accepted this errand, I really wouldn't want to care about this mess." Today's battle really makes my heart beat. I thought that fighting a war was not complicated, but now I realize that my former self really didn't know the height of the sky! Alas......"

Zhao Ling knew that Chen Ao must have retreated, so he held his hand and said, "Chen Ao, at the beginning we advised you to leave the rivers and lakes, but you didn't agree. Now that we have come here, can we give up halfway? If we retreat now, what will we do with the 30,000 soldiers who followed us? Chen Ao, you used to be a little man with a smooth tone. I've always looked down on you. Now that you've come to this point, you can't just retreat if you want to!"

Chen Ao was actually just a little afraid, but after a little bit of Zhao Ling's push, he regained his fighting spirit. I thought that I was single-handed, dealing with the people of the Liang Mansion and the people of the Salt Gang, and I survived so many difficulties. Now that he has 30,000 elite soldiers under his command, he is naturally more courageous.

He grinned and said, "I used to be a small person, so what kind of person am I in your heart now?"

Zhao Ling smiled slightly and said, "Now...... You're a big hero!"

"Then hurry up and let the hero kiss it!"

"Don't!" Zhao Ling wanted to escape, "It's not early, Hugh is going crazy again, go to sleep quickly!"

"Then you stay and sleep with me!" Chen Ao did not relent.

"Don't think about ......"

Zhao Ling finally failed to grind Chen Ao, and stayed in the same bed with him for the night. It's just that Chen Ao was really tired this day, so he hugged Zhao Ling and dipped his pillow and fell asleep. It made the flustered Zhao Ling at a loss, and he didn't sleep well for half the night.

As soon as it was dawn the next day, Yao Zhou hurriedly knocked on the door. Zhao Ling woke up suddenly, listening to Yao Zhou's shouting anxiously, there must be something important. While pushing Chen Ao awake, she turned over and got up, straightened her clothes and went to open the door.

When Yao Zhou saw Zhao Ling, his face changed, and he immediately thought of Chen Ao holding a "man" in his arms last night and indulging in pleasure, and goosebumps appeared all over his body. However, he didn't have time to think about Chen Ao's life style now, and when he saw Chen Ao coming out from behind the curtain, he said loudly: "General, the Khitans are attacking the city!"

This sentence made Chen Ao wake up suddenly with a hangover. didn't have time to clean up, Chen Ao picked up the armor and rushed out. Fortunately, it was just dawn and the city gate had not yet opened, so it was impossible for the Khitans to take the opportunity to rush in. And the defenders in the city have already noticed it and are ready to fight.

Long Qingping and Feng Hu and a group of guards were already waiting outside the door, and Chen Ao asked Yao Zhou about his current situation while wearing armor with the help of Zhao Ling. When he heard that his men had already gone to the city on all sides, they joined the forces defending the city. And the Khitans have just lined up outside the city now, and they have not yet begun to attack the city, so Chen Ao is a little relieved.

Walking all the way, Chen Ao could obviously feel that the atmosphere in Jizhou City was very different from yesterday. The eyes of the people on the street showed horror and panic, and they were a little overwhelmed by the sudden war.

Chen Ao didn't have time to care about these people, so he went straight to the top of the city and looked down. I saw that in the vast open space under the city, the Liao army was neatly lined up, mighty and majestic. Tens of thousands of people stood there, hearing only a few occasional neighings, and such silence was even more depressing.

Chen Ao gasped and thought to himself, I was afraid that it was the cavalry that returned yesterday and reported the reinforcements of the Song army, which led the large army over. But it came too quickly. Didn't the Jizhou Army's Tanma not notice at all? Or did Guo Wenhui's idiot not send Tanma at all?

Just as he thought of Guo Wenhui, he saw Guo Wenhui hurrying up to the city tower accompanied by several lieutenant generals. Chen Ao saw that Guo Wenhui finally wore a suit of armor, but the helmet was still worn crookedly, and his face was also a hangover and unawake expression, so he couldn't help but sneer: "General Guo came early!"

Guo Wenhui seemed to be suppressed by the formation of the Liao army under the city, but he didn't notice Chen Ao's ridicule, and nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, why do you want to attack the city so early?"

It turned out that it had just dawned on this day, and Guo Wenhui had already gotten up much earlier than usual. Chen Ao couldn't help such a thick-skinned figure with a thicker skin than the city walls of Jizhou, so he had to ask: "General Guo, the Liao army is attacking the city, I don't know how Jizhou is prepared?"

Guo Wenhui wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, stared at the formation of the Liao army, and said, "Most of the Khitans are cavalry, this ...... For many years there has been no ability to storm the city. I think this time they just want us to be shocked by their momentum, and they don't really plan to attack the city!"

When Chen Ao set off from the capital, he also had such thoughts. But when he heard the battle report along the way, the Liao army was like a bamboo, and the soldiers were fierce, and Chen Ao had long stopped holding such illusions.

Sure enough, as soon as Guo Wenhui's words fell, a dull horn suddenly sounded in the Liao army's array. The sound was a clarion call for attack. Chen Ao couldn't help but glare at Guo Wenhui.

Guo Wenhui obviously didn't expect the Khitan people to come to Zhenge, opened his mouth, and said, "This and this...... The Khitans were so stupid that they wanted to attack the city...... It's not ...... Hit a stone with an egg!"

Chen Ao was a little speechless at this general with a good mentality. Guo Wenhui said again: "General Chen doesn't have to worry, the Khitan people drink blood and are not yet civilized. They had no siege equipment, and they didn't want to attack it. Just with these horses, before they could rush to the city, they were killed by a rain of arrows!"

Chen Ao wanted to think so too. But he already knew that the Liao State had been founded for decades at this time, which was longer than the history of the Great Song Dynasty. Moreover, the Liao State is not an uncivilized barbarian race, on the contrary, the monarchs and ministers of the Liao State worship the culture of the Han people, and learn from the Han people everywhere, which is no longer what it used to be. Especially the Empress Dowager Xiao, who actually has a good impression of the Han people. Several important ministers in the court are all Han Chinese. Will such a country still have the ability to attack cities?

Sure enough, the formation of the Liao army changed, and several behemoths were slowly pushed out from the rear, and they turned out to be trebuchets!
