The sudden retreat of the armies of all nations made everyone happy.

But Chen Yang had a bad premonition, as the god of war, General Han would never give up the siege just like that, he must have other plans.

"Princess, hurry up and send someone out to investigate every move of the armies of all nations, I always think this is a bad omen?" Chen Yang said worriedly.

"Brother Chen Yang, isn't it a good thing that the enemy soldiers have retreated? This shows that they are afraid of us and are so frightened that they retreat!" Kuroko said with a big grin.

"General Han is not so easy to be frightened, we must be prepared to defend the city for a long time, especially the necessary items for food, water and medicine, and we have to make a plan now. Chen Yang said.

"Brother Chen Yang, we are now winning the battle, how can I see that you are worried, did you not sleep well last night, it just so happens that now that the army of all nations has retreated, you and Her Royal Highness the princess should rest! Kuroko said.

"Kuroko is right, how can you do it without resting, the matter of defending the city below depends on your advice!" Mingyue also persuaded.

"If I don't figure out the situation, where can I fall asleep?" Chen Yang said with a sigh.

Mingyue and Kuroko were both carried away by the victory in front of them, which was not a victory at all, and the big war was still to come. In Chen Yang's mind, there were many examples of defending the city, some successful and some failed, whether they were successful or unsuccessful, all of them were cruel.

Defending the city to the end, the food and grass were cut off, the bark of the trees in the city was gnawed clean, the starving people were not buried, and even the phenomenon of cannibalism, coupled with the plague, made people shudder to think about.

"Heizi, Qinglong listen to the order!" Chen Yang said suddenly.

The two were stunned for a moment and said, "Here!"

"The two of you immediately lead a thousand soldiers each, and the sunspot is responsible for collecting the grain and grass in the city, including the people's homes in the city, all of which are concentrated in the city lord's mansion and uniformly deployed, and from tomorrow onwards, two meals a day, immediately paste a notice to the people, and there must be no mistakes, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!"

"Qinglong, you are responsible for guarding the water source in the city river, but mobilizing the people in the city to load all the things that can hold water into the water source, and there must be no mistakes, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!"

Chen Yang ordered the two of them in a stern tone.

Kuroko and Qinglong glanced at Mingyue suspiciously.

"What do you think I'm doing, don't follow Chen Yang's order and execute it immediately!" Mingyue said.

After the two left, the generals asked, "Master Chenyang, have you noticed something?"

Chen Yang said: "Since ancient times, defending the city is the rarest, not to mention that compared with the armies of all nations, the disparity in strength is too great, and I can't consider it at all, this is our burial place." ”

"Report to Your Highness the Princess, the armies of all nations have begun to build dams in the upper reaches of the great river to intercept the water source, and are digging the moat to let the water of the moat flow away. I also caught soldiers from all over the world, and this is a letter to Prime Minister Zhou!"

Mingyue was taken aback, General Han was really cutting off their back road, there was no water source, what city were they still guarding?

Mingyue opened the letter and saw that it was asking Prime Minister Zhou Cheng to send troops to attack Pengcheng first, but to block Zhang Chuguo's reinforcements.

Mingyue handed the letter to Chen Yang and said, "You have said that we have become a lonely city here!"

Chen Yang briefly read the letter and said: "Don't panic, everyone should immediately step up the preparation of food and water sources, as long as we don't go out of the city to fight them, it will not be easy for them to attack the city, especially if the moat runs out of water, it will become deeper, which is good for us." ”

Seeing Chen Yang's unchaotic appearance, Mingyue's confidence in her heart increased a lot, and she handed him the commander's golden seal, saying, "From now on, everything in Pengcheng has you the final say, give us orders!"

With more and more notices pasted in Pengcheng, the shouts of soldiers beating gongs and drums made the people in the city start to run and panic, especially to collect their own food at home, and they were even more complaining, but in the face of the vicious soldiers, the people dared to be angry and did not dare to speak.

Some of them even clashed with the soldiers, but it was the soldiers who were hurt, and these soldiers just pulled the food away, and let the people beat and scold them without fighting back, which made the people very puzzled.

It turned out that Chen Yang ordered Heizi and others to only collect grain and not beat and scold the people, and those who violated the order were beheaded.

There was a commotion in the city, but the armies of all nations outside the city stopped attacking the city, and General Han followed the advice of the staff officers of the army, surrounded the big river, drained the water source of the moat, and prepared to let Chen Yang and others go out of the city and surrender within half a month without spending a single soldier.

It was night, the city lord's mansion was brightly lit, Chen Yang and Princess Mingyue had just returned from a week of patrolling the city, and they heard the voice of the sunspot in the city lord's mansion: "My eldest brother has become timid now, why can't he go out of the city to attack the enemy?"

"Sect Master Chen can't be wrong, didn't you see the hundreds of thousands of troops outside the city, waiting for us to go out and die?"

"Heizi, in the face of tens of thousands of elite soldiers outside the city, do you dare to send troops to kill the enemy?" Chen Yang asked loudly when he entered the courtyard.

Seeing Chen Yang and Princess Mingyue behind them, everyone didn't dare to speak, and reported to themselves on the situation of preparing food and water.

"Big brother, if you give me 2,000 soldiers and horses, I will dare to go out of the city to take the enemy's head now!"

Chen Yang thought for a while and said, "I can let you lead the troops out of the city to kill the enemy, but you must promise me one thing." ”

"What's the matter?" As soon as he heard that he was allowed to go out of the city to kill the enemy, Kuroko said excitedly: "Don't say one, ten will do!"

"When you go out of the city, you must go ahead in concealment, and as soon as you come into contact with the enemy, you will immediately beat the drums and fight, and this battle is not to kill more enemy soldiers, but to snatch the horses. That's it, can you agree?" Chen Yang said.

"If you don't kill the enemy, you can get the horses back. Kuroko said.

"Kuroko listens to the order, tonight's fourth watch, I order you to lead 2,000 infantry, 500 people with spears in front to kill the enemy, and the rest of the people just grab the horses, ride on the war horses and lead all the soldiers to return immediately, and I will send someone to answer." Chen Yang ordered.

"Obey!" replied Kuroko.

As soon as Heizi led 2,000 elite soldiers to leave, Chen Yang immediately ordered Qinglong and other soldiers to go out of the city to harass the enemy and snatch the horses as Heizi's task.

Mingyue knew that Chen Yang was taking advantage of the enemy's carelessness and taking him by surprise, and he was attacking on the fourth watch day, when people were sleepy and tired, he would definitely be able to win.

Chen Yang said: "Now the enemy army can't think that we are besieged, and dare to go out of the city to kill the enemy, they will definitely think that we are abandoning the city and fleeing, in the dark and unknown situation, they will not rashly attack, only defend, they will return with a complete victory." ”

"I believe your judgment is correct, otherwise, you wouldn't have let him take a risk!" Mingyue said confidently.
