In the evening, in front of Zhu'an City, the green smoke after the fire had dissipated, and the burnt smell and bloody smell had also faded slightly.

The enemy camp did not move at all for a whole day, and I don't know what was brewing.

General Ding Jiang was in a coma for a whole day, and there is no situation until now, and he is still asleep, and above the city, the two brigades of sergeants in charge of the garrison are ready to deal with the enemy's attack at any time.

Outside the city, the defense of the left and right mountain ranges that Kolong was responsible for did not suffer too serious attacks last night, and the enemy army was only harassed, and after being repulsed several times, it did not reappear. In the process, Koron held down the sergeants who were lying in ambush nearby, and did not let them attack, and it was the sentry posts and improvised positions that they could see that were responsible for repelling the enemy troops.

The two teams of sergeants led by Tu Xingping had already arrived at the improvised wooden wall, and used the day to consolidate the city defenses to ensure that there would be no problems when retreating, and at the same time prepared that if the enemy appeared nearby, they would be hit by thunder.

Ren Zijin has not climbed to the top of the city in last night's battle, this is Ding Jiang's order, the two of them are responsible for defense, and the enemy's advance is rapid and well-equipped, there will inevitably be a battle for the city, the two generals appear at the same time, it is very likely that they will be injured or killed at the same time, so that the exchange can ensure that there are always people on the city wall to command the defense.

Ren Zijin and Ding Jiang have cooperated for many years, and he naturally knows Ding Jiang's intention to arrange this, but the battle was tragic last night, but the order made him stand still, which made him anxious.

After the battle, he went to see Ding Jiang for the first time, and saw that his face was pale, and there were countless wounds on his body, and his heart was even more depressed. Ye Guan's strategy is clear to several of them, they have been using 2,000 people to defend the city wall, so that they still have spare strength in their hands when the enemy army is in full attack, and this kind of battle will also give the enemy an illusion, making it easy for them to misjudge the situation. But having said that, it couldn't offset the anxiety and anger in Ren Zijin's heart.

This feeling is not only felt in him, but also in the hearts of all the sergeants who have not yet reached the top of the city. They couldn't understand Ding Jiang's military order, so they only let the two brigades fight bloodily at the head of the city, and even if the battle was in the white-hot stage, they did not give them an order to attack.

Last night, listening to the constant shouts of killing from above the city, everyone was anxious. Seeing his comrades-in-arms fighting in front of him but being indifferent made everyone feel uncomfortable. This feeling was suppressed all night, and Ren Zijin could only keep patrolling the station, trying to appease all the sergeants and eliminate the negative impact of this emotion.

There are two sides to everything, and many sergeants have such a feeling in their hearts, which will naturally have some impact on morale, and it will also make them have some doubts in their hearts, but this time, the soldiers of the Dongwangfu who came to Zhu'an City with Ye Guan are all heroes in a hundred battles, and although they have emotions in their hearts, they absolutely obey the military order. When the two brigades of the third group ascended the walls, a fire burned in the bosom of each sergeant. Looking at the charred battlefield and countless enemy corpses under the city, they were more angry in their hearts.

Ren Zijin took over Ding Jiang's command, ascended to the top of the city, and inspected all the defensive equipment, including the improvised trebuchet arranged by Ding Jiang. After inspecting the trebuchets, Ren Zijin ordered several trebuchets to be reinforced, so that they could play a key role in the battle.

The walls of Jugan Castle are very wide, and after a few trebuchets are placed, the remaining space is enough to fight the enemy head-on.

In addition to the normal garrison, Ren Zijin also specially arranged several teams of men and horses to protect the trebuchet, he knew that once the enemy attacked, the city tower was inevitably close to the city wall, and his own simple trebuchet had the ability to destroy the enemy's siege equipment, and it would be the first target of the enemy.

At the same time, he also arranged for the soldiers in the city to make trebuchets of the same specification again, and placed them under the city walls, so that the trebuchets would not be violently destroyed by the enemy attack, and the trebuchets would be replenished immediately.

Time passed quickly, and all this was ready, and the night was already shrouded, and the dappled moonlight covered the land, making everything hazy.

There were no torches on the city wall, Ren Zijin ordered the sergeant to light the candles of the tower, and there should be no fire on the city wall. In this way, taking advantage of the cover of night, the enemy troops could not immediately see the defense of the city.

For some reason, the large trebuchet in the distance of the enemy army did not throw fireballs to attack today, probably expecting that this attack would have limited damage to the defenders of Zhu'an Castle.

After several days of fierce fighting, the walls of Zhu'an City were attacked by trebuchet fireballs, and fine cracks had already appeared, and this crack had spread again in last night's attack, and it had a tendency to crack.

For this, neither Ding Jiang nor Ren Zijin was helpless, they did not have enough strength to rush out of the city to destroy the enemy's long-range trebuchet, so they could only let the sergeants use the city wall to dodge the fireballs attacking from afar. With such a fierce bombardment, if it weren't for the fact that the walls of Zhu'an City had been watered with pig iron, I am afraid that it would have collapsed long ago.

If there is a crack in the city wall, if it is not repaired in time, after a fierce attack, it is likely that there will be cracks, and the cracks will get bigger and bigger, and eventually there will be a gap in the city wall, and once the gap appears, the enemy will inevitably launch a fierce attack on this gap, and then it is the most critical moment of the battle.

For the understanding of Zhu'an City, the enemy army must know more thoroughly than his own, whether it is the materials and equipment in the city or the city defense, it is all arranged by Shen Tuyan to supervise the construction, how strong the walls of Zhu'an City are, how long the materials in the city can last, he knows very well. This is also the reason why he dared to rashly launch an attack, intending to wipe out this wave of troops in the East Palace.

At night, the air around you slowly cools down, not as hot and dry as during the day.

Many sergeants stopped or docked, and after the battlements, on the basis of small teams, dispersed the defense, and the entire city wall was heavily garrisoned.

Few people spoke, and everyone knew that the enemy did not attack for a whole day, and at night, he would definitely launch a more violent attack, and tonight's battle would be very fierce.

Ren Zijin patrolled back and forth on the city wall, inspected the fortifications, and did it very carefully. He kept in mind the places where the cracks in the city wall were relatively tight, and arranged more sergeants to defend, and had told in advance that if there was a crack in the city wall, avoid it immediately, and if the enemy launched a fierce attack on the crack, they could use the cover of the left and right to kill the enemy.

The damage to the wall may be an opportunity for the enemy, but it is also an opportunity for your own team to kill and injure a large number of enemy troops. The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and no matter how precise the plan is, mistakes may occur, which is the same for both sides.

Above the city, no one spoke, the coldness of the night enveloped everything, the pungent smell subsided slightly, and everyone no longer found the smell unbearable, but slowly got used to it.

In the city, it was unusually quiet, and the sergeants on standby were very silent, except for a few people who were talking softly and gossiping.

In normal times, the soldiers of the Eastern Wangfu fought siege battles, and they were all attackers, because the Qitian Empire was constantly expanding, and there was no unified enemy in the surrounding small countries, and there were few troops that could confront the Dongwangfu head-on, let alone attack the city. This city defense battle is the first time in a long time, although the usual training often simulates siege battles, but the real participation is not too much.

A siege battle as tragic as this one is a test for everyone, whether it is a recruit outside the city or a veteran inside the city.

Ye Guan sat quietly in the room, not moving for a day, meditating and pranayama, waiting for his upcoming test. He knew in his heart that this test would come, and he was the only one in the entire army who had the ability to resist it.

The mysterious black-robed man and his strange methods involved the secrets of decades ago, all of which were like a fog, shrouded in Ye Guan's heart. He vaguely felt that all these things seemed to be related to the mysterious cave he had entered, and the events of that year happened so fast that he didn't even know what was going on, so he was attacked and fell unconscious. After waking up, his body had been eroded by that strange energy, which greatly reduced his combat power, and he could not serve as the guard of the East King, so he could only retreat behind the scenes and become the city lord.

He thought that he would be like this but he was still alive, even if he went out with the army to conquer the enclave this time, he also repaid the belief of death, until he came into contact with the mysterious black-robed man, and the mysterious power in his body disappeared strangely, and from then on, what happened next developed in a direction that he could not control.

Enclave, Tianqing City, the mysterious black-robed man, the city lord Tian Shun, the formation arranged by Wufeng City, the mysterious array on Zongqiu Mountain, the strange cave at the foot of the mountain, these things can't be sorted out at once, no matter what Ye Guan thinks, things seem to have fallen into a whirlpool, the more he wants to figure it out, but the more he finds it unclear. It's a maddening feeling, but it's nothing to be done.

Looking at the cold light that penetrated into the room through the doors and windows, Ye Guan sighed softly. He didn't light a candle, and the room was illuminated by the silvery nightlight, and everything became hazy, as if his current mood was a fog.

He didn't have the slightest worry about the ongoing siege battle, the four generals brought this time were all famous generals in a hundred battles, even if the current situation seemed critical, they would definitely have a way to solve it. What he himself has to do is to wait, waiting for the whole army to have a chance to counterattack and retreat, the mysterious black-robed man will definitely appear, he still doesn't understand, what is that man going to do when he is looking for himself.

Ding Jiang was injured and fell asleep, and Ye Guan knew it, but he didn't look at it, because he knew in his heart that with Ding Jiang's cultivation, this injury was nothing at all, and it could be healed with a little recuperation, and he didn't issue any orders about the current city war. According to the current momentum, within two days, the enemy army will definitely discover the flaws in the defense of Dongwangfu, so they will attack on a large scale, and the eight brigades that have been hiding in the city will have a place to use.

At the same time, the two ambushes on the left and right attacked together, surrounding the enemy army in front of Zhu'an City, and great things could be accomplished.

"Hoo ......"

Just when Ye Guan was thinking a lot, there was a sudden loud sound in his ears, something huge crossed the sky, and then, a huge flame appeared in the sky, lighting up the sky.

The enemy offensive began again.
