Chapter 397: Bringing Grain into the City

After a burst of arrows was fired, the torches in front of them fell to the ground, and the sound of beeping waves was left when the fire burned, and no one was heard shouting.

The strange scene made the pursuers stop their pace again, and they did not dare to move forward for fear of being ambushed by the other party.

The lieutenant general lined up a group of people to inquire about the situation, and when he returned, he learned that all the people holding torches were straw men, and they were all burned to the ground.

The lieutenant general's anger was like thunder, and he was delayed here for an hour in vain, and the defenders of Pengcheng who grabbed food ran away early.

"Advance lightly, you must take back the grain and grass for me, and continue the pursuit for me!" ordered the adjutant general.

When these soldiers had just chased less than ten miles, they saw another torch in front of them, and they could vaguely see that the person under the torch was still a straw man.

"Why do you come back to this, rush over to me!" shouted the lieutenant.

As soon as the adjutant general and his soldiers rushed to the straw man, a gust of wind suddenly blew, and the torch lit the straw man, and the wind helped the fire to help the wind, and suddenly burned into a sea of fire, trapping the pursuers in the fire.

Although these soldiers fled quickly, many of them were still burned, although there was no danger to their lives, but it was a period of chaos, and at the same time they were blocked for a long time, and the sky was getting brighter, and the defenders of Pengcheng who were robbing food had long since disappeared.

The adjutant general pursued for half the night with tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and did not see the shadow of the defenders of Pengcheng until he was exhausted, so he had to reluctantly rush to Pengcheng in front, and only came to the city of Pengcheng when it was dark.

The walls of Pengcheng were full of energetic soldiers defending the city, and they were waiting for them, and those soldiers of all nations who were close to the moat of Pengcheng and within the range of sharp arrows were shot back, not daring to take a step forward.

When the adjutant general saw General Han, he reported the situation of pursuing the enemy army in the middle of the night, and General Han's face suddenly became ugly, and he did not see the defenders of Pengcheng who grabbed grain, indicating that the grain that Chen Yang led people to rob did not return to Pengcheng at all, and they drove the defenders from Pengcheng back to the city, and they put the iron bucket of Pengcheng siege, not to mention the army of nearly 10,000, even if a bird flew in, it would also be found and shot down by the army besieging the city.

"They robbed the grain and didn't go back to Pengcheng, so where did they go? Could it be that Chen Yang really wanted to abandon Pengcheng and flee?" General Han said to himself.

"Impossible, if you abandon Pengcheng and flee, then why don't you take the soldiers in the city away and leave so many soldiers to guard the city?" said a marquis of ten thousand households.

"It can't be Chen Yang's bitter trick, right? He took away all the main personnel, leaving a little people here to hold us back?" said the adjutant general.

"No matter what tricks he had, come back or not, we will surround him for three more days, there will be no food, Pengcheng will be self-defeating, as long as we get Pengcheng, it doesn't matter where he escapes!" General Han said.

With General Han's order, all the soldiers stepped up the siege on the one hand, and on the other hand, the water around Pengcheng was blocked, no matter how capable Chen Yang was, don't think about sending a grain of grain into Pengcheng.

Ten miles outside the east gate of Pengcheng, only one mile away from the soldiers of all nations besieging Pengcheng, in a forest hidden the soldiers led by Chen Yang and the 10,000 loads of grain they had robbed.

The woods were quiet, and Heizi asked Chen Yang beside him a little anxiously: "Big brother, it's not a matter for us to lie down here, we have to find a way to enter the city, but the brothers in the city are waiting for these grains to save their lives?"

"Do you have a way?" Chen Yang said in a low voice.

"If I have a way, I won't ask you. Kuroko said.

"Wait for the rain guards to find out the situation before making a decision, and tell the brothers that no one is allowed to move or talk, and continue to hide!" Chen Yang ordered.

The herald quietly went down to give the order. These soldiers ran all night with food, and they were already so tired that they fell asleep on the ground, and who still walked back and forth and talked.

It was nearly noon, the sun was shining warmly in the woods, the soldiers in the woods were very quiet, and many small birds were flying happily on the branches and chirping.

The rain guards finally came back to inquire about the situation, but the situation around Pengcheng was not optimistic, the armies of all countries kept attacking the city, which caused a lot of pressure on the city, and the casualties were also very serious, and more importantly, Chen Yang They did not return to the city with food, and the morale of the soldiers was low, which made the army's heart a little shaken.

"Chen Shuai, there are as many troops deployed in the ten city gates, and the strongest is the West Gate where General Han personally sits. The rain guard said.

"I can't wait any longer, if I can't enter the city tonight, there will be chaos in the city tomorrow, I'm afraid that Princess Mingyue won't be able to control the overall situation, after all, they are all soldiers under Prince Chu." Chen Yang said.

"It's hard to get into the city, not to mention that we still have so much food with us, and also, through which gate do we enter the city?" said the rain guard.

He entered through the East City Gate, waited until after midnight, and swaggered into the middle of the East Gate defenders on the grounds that Prime Minister Zhou Cheng had sent food to General Han, and then launched a surprise attack and went straight to the city gate. How many soldiers do we have now?" asked Chen Yang.

"Less than six thousand!" Kuroko said.

"Kuroko, you take a thousand soldiers as the vanguard, walk at the forefront of the transport team, as long as you enter the ranks of ten thousand troops, immediately launch an attack and catch them off guard.

The rain guard led a thousand soldiers to guard the right, the thunder guard led a thousand soldiers to guard the left, the electric guard led a thousand soldiers to the rear of the palace, and the rest of the soldiers pulled the food and went straight to the east gate. Chen Yang ordered.

"Yes!" replied the generals.

"Remember, you must not fall in love with war, at the critical moment, I will cast a spell to let the Yin soldiers dispatch and cause chaos, our people must not panic!" Chen Yang reminded.

"Got it, we'll arrange for the soldiers to prepare. ”

With Chen Yang's words, everyone became excited, because they had all seen the power of Chen Yang's Yin soldiers, and they had already won several battles in succession by using the Yin soldiers, if it weren't for Prince Chu's efforts to suppress Her Royal Highness the Princess, things would not have come to this point.

Midnight, soon to come.

The defenders of Pengcheng in the woods had eaten and drunk enough and rested for another day, and when they heard that Commander Chen Yang was going to cast a spell to let the Yin soldiers go out to help them enter the city, his brother was full of energy and excited. Being able to see the image of the Yin Soldiers made these soldiers extremely excited.

And the army of all nations, after attacking the city for a day, did not break through a single gate, but wounded a lot of soldiers, and at night, General Han ordered the siege to be stopped, and everyone was exhausted, and simply ate something, fell to the ground and fell asleep.

In addition to the patrolling soldiers, groups of people with torches patrolled around, and the soldiers in the large camp had already fallen asleep everywhere.

Midnight, the east gate of Pengcheng.

A group of patrolling soldiers suddenly felt the wind blowing, cold to the bone, and the faint sound of ghosts crying in the dark night came.

"The Yin Soldier is coming, run!" shouted the patrolling soldier and ran.
