Hearing Chi Zhongtian's unkind tone, Qiu Cicada didn't dare to knock on the door again, but stayed quietly in front of the door.

It didn't take long for Ye Luo to come back, and after Qiu Cicada saw Ye Luo, she hurriedly greeted her and asked, "What's the matter with Childe?"

Ye Luo understood as soon as he heard it, and it was estimated that Chi Zhongtian was still thinking about what had just happened in his heart.

"Alas, don't ask, the owner of the village is really angry today. Ye Luo shook his head, bypassed the autumn cicada, and returned to the room.

Chi Zhongtian was in the room, and he stayed for a few hours, and it was almost time before he opened the door and walked out.

"Konoleaf. He stood in front of the door and shouted.

In less than a blink of an eye, Ye Luo opened the door and walked out, followed by Qiu Cicada.

"Take my official uniform, let's go to the barracks. Chi Zhongtian said.

"Yes!" Ye Luo turned around and walked back.

"Look at that person. Chi Zhongtian continued.

This sentence was obviously said to Qiu Chan, so Qiu Cicada nodded consciously and walked back.

Soon, Ye Luo walked out with a baggage.

"Owner, take it all. ”

"Let's go. Chi Zhongtian had already made up his mind just now, he decided to go to the barracks now, and question King Qing face to face, Weishenme was going to burn them, and besides, Weishenme was missing so many people, he didn't even send anyone to look for it.

After the two walked out of the inn, Ye Luo noticed a detail, the "eye-catching" people who were staying at the door were all gone at the moment.

It's just that now Ye Luo doesn't have the heart to think about this.

At this moment, suddenly, the situation changed.

On the street, suddenly there was a cacophony of noises.

"The enemy is attacking the city, the enemy is attacking the city!"

After Chi Zhongtian and Ye Luo heard the sound, they stopped at the same time.

"The enemy is attacking the city?" Chi Zhongtian asked suspiciously.

"The enemy army is attacking the city! The commander has an order, all the young and strong men are gathered at the south gate of the south of the city!" a very rough voice came out again, only this time as if it was very close to him.

Sure enough, not long after the words fell, a galloping horse galloped in front of Chi Zhongtian, raising a cloud of dust, and on the horseback was a herald officer, with a command flag on his back.

"Let's go, let's go to the south gate and have a look. As soon as Chi Zhongtian heard that there was an enemy attacking the city, he thought about putting aside the matter of going to the barracks for the time being, because at this juncture, it was obviously inappropriate to go by himself.

"Yes, then these things, should we take them?" Ye Luo asked.

"Take it, just in case!" Chi Zhongtian said, his footsteps already walking to the side.

As he walked, Chi Zhongtian suddenly thought of one thing, there were officers and soldiers in the barracks, and the person who gave the order just now wanted all the young and strong men to go to the south of the city?

What does this mean?

"It's bad, is the battle situation urgent?" Chi Zhongtian suddenly stopped and said to Ye Luo behind him.

Ye Luo was stunned for a moment, and then replied habitually: "Ah, yes." ”

"Let's go!"

The two of them did not delay any longer, and kept walking towards the south of the city.

The more he walked, the more wrong Chi Zhongtian felt.

It is not uncommon for people to be absent from the streets, and it is not uncommon for the people of the city to hide when there is a war.

However, it is somewhat unusual that even officers and soldiers are rarely seen on the streets.

When the two came to the south gate, they found that it was very lively.

There were people everywhere near the south gate, officers and soldiers in armor, and men in people's clothes, all of them were running.

Even if you stand here, you can hear the fighting outside the city.

Chi Zhongtian asked Ye Luo to intercept several officers and soldiers on the way, and asked several times in a row before he could be regarded as understanding some eyebrows.

It turned out that just after noon, the enemy troops outside the south gate suddenly seemed to be crazy, and kept attacking the city gate.

Because King Qing ordered that no one should go out of the city gate to face the battle, so at the beginning, the defenders on the city gate used bows and arrows to defend against the enemy, and this arrow was from the Jingxian Dachang.

At first, no one took it seriously, thinking that it was just an enemy army and couldn't help but want to move their muscles and bones.

Slowly, however, the defenders began to notice that something was not right.

Because this time the enemy army, it was as if they were dying, they also opened their bows and arrows outside the city, and they also began to shoot arrows upwards, although shooting arrows from the bottom to the top was much worse in strength, but it could also make the defenders on the city gate feel the pressure.

In fact, this is not the most terrible, the most terrible thing is that there are spies from outside the city who come back to report that they have found enemy troops transporting siege vehicles here more than ten miles away.

This siege vehicle is the most ferocious weapon for attacking the city gate, and it is also the most feared by the soldiers defending the city.

Generally speaking, when several siege vehicles swing towards the city gate, the momentum of the attack is different.

After learning the news, King Qing was also taken aback, he just didn't understand military affairs, and he also understood the role of siege vehicles, but he was very strange, where did the enemy get the siege vehicles?

Do you want to play for real?

King Qing has always been joking, and said that this time is the same as last time, but it is pretty, but now that he suddenly thinks of this, he is also scared for a while, if it is a real game, then he is not prepared at all, but if it is not for real, why do people make siege vehicles, and they have nothing to do?

Fortunately, in the army, there are still some strong generals, like Lu Gui and Li Guang, who still have two fights.

When Lü Gui heard that the enemy army had siege engines, he immediately began to prepare, he first ordered the whole army to enter the city from the west gate, directly from the city to the south gate, and then assembled at the south gate, ready to attack at any time.

At the same time, he also gave an order to gather the young and strong men in the city, gather on the tower of the south gate, and pile some stones beside it, and make a dozen fires, on which were set up more than a dozen iron pots, which were full of oil.

After making these two preparations, he immediately ordered the men of the baggage battalion to immediately start mobilizing grain, grass, weapons, etc., and continuously transported them to the south of the city.

Zuihou, he also ordered all the vendors in the city to be closed, and the people to hide in their homes.

The so-called critical moment looks at kung fu, at such a time of chaos, Lu Gui can arrange it so well, I have to say that he is indeed a general.

At this time, Lu Gui was on the tower of the South Gate, looking ahead with an anxious face, because he had excellent eyesight, he had already faintly seen the shadow of a siege vehicle in the distance.

It seems that the enemy army does have siege vehicles, and it is by no means intimidating.

"Hmph, it's good to come!" After Lu Gui saw it, instead of panicking, he was still a little excited, he had been depressed for so long, he had to fight a good battle today, besides, after such a long delay in Lijiang City, he had long wanted to go back quickly.
