Chapter 362 Night Attack
After Jiang Huan asked, before Ling Xuanyi could answer, he said himself: "You don't know. It's a big deal to see that two girls are running away by themselves. Forget it, don't care about her for now, but I think it's better to ask her about our problem. Maybe the fourth sister can think of a solution for us!"
When Ling Xuanyi heard Jiang Huan say this, he nodded slightly. In fact, he wanted to go over to find Xi Ningyu in the morning. Don’t look at the woman who had been together for a day, she was either playing or idling around, looking like she was doing nothing.
But Ling Xuanyi knew in his heart that Xi Ningyu was unwilling to show up too much, so as not to cause some gossip for his fiancé. In the past, it was forced by the situation, but now all the troops gathered together, and there were generals in the army, so naturally there was no need for a woman to control the military power. So Xi Ningyu followed Princess Tianyu and the others every day, and was struggling around the imperial capital.
Although Xi Ningyu said nothing, Ling Xuanyi knew in his heart that the girl was holding her breath!
Since Yu'er died, although she can still smile, Ling Xuanyi can see from his eyes that there is a storm in silence hidden there.
The siege has been blocked these days, I am afraid that they will deliberately not ask a word or mention a word, waiting for me to beg her!
After seeing off all the generals, Ling Xuanyi touched her chin and smiled slightly. "If you want her to come up with an idea, it is afraid that it will not be possible to get some money. Go and prepare something first!" After that, Ling Xuanyi took a few guards and slowly walked out of the military camp and headed to the villages not far away.
In the evening, after dinner in the barracks, all the soldiers went out to guards and soldiers patrolling everywhere, and all the soldiers returned to the camp to rest. The continuous siege of the city made them very tired. They finally didn't have to fight tomorrow, so they rested early.
Xi Ningyu has been busy for a day and feels a little tired now. After all, there are too many wounded soldiers in the injured barracks, and there are only a few doctors in the military, which is not enough.
After a busy day, Xi Ningyu had just had a meal and was about to organize his medicine bags so that he could use it for treatment for the injured soldiers tomorrow.
"Are you asleep?" Ling Xuanyi said this, and reached out and lifted the curtain of the tent.
Xi Ningyu glanced at him unhappily, but didn't say anything. However, when Ling Xuanyi walked up to him, he curled his lips and said, "I'll ask you next time, I'll raise the curtain and come in. When everyone comes in, what nonsense are you talking about!"
"Oh! Madam seems to be in a bad mood today. It's not just that anyone offended you. Let me tell you so that I can make the decision!" Ling Xuanyi felt a little cautious when he saw Xi Ningyu's words, and he had to pick on his words, otherwise it would not be so easy for this girl to coax her.
"The wounded barracks are constantly having new wounded soldiers every day. Do you know how tired we doctors are every day? Can't you siege the city be a smart way to reduce the chances of some soldiers being injured and dying?" Xi Ningyu didn't talk nonsense to Ling Xuanyi. She felt like a mirror in her heart, knowing that this person was just asking for advice today!
Seeing Xi Ningyu directly bringing the topic to the main business, Ling Xuanyi was no longer ashamed and sat in front of Xi Ningyu with a smile. "Then tell me, do you have any good ideas? To be honest, the number of casualties in the past few days has indeed made me, the head coach, feel hurt, but the defense on the city wall is too strong, and with wooden cannons, it is not easy to attack!"
"I'll teach you a way!" Xi Ningyu glanced at Ling Xuanyi with a slight smile, then raised his eyebrows to lure Ling Xuanyi.
"Oh? Tell me, if you have a good idea, I will be rewarded!" Ling Xuanyi also cooperated and started to make fun of Xi Ningyu.
When Ling Xuanyi left Ning Yu's camp, he rushed to the coach's tent with excitement. Before he could enter the door, he said to the soldiers guarding the door: "Go, go and find Jiang Huan for me!"
The idea that Xi Ningyu gave Ling Xuanyi was actually not very good, it was just a way to work hard.
After Jiang Huan didn't know Xi Ningyu's idea from Ling Xuanyi, he looked happy, but at the same time he muttered in his heart: "Is it really a shame for both of them to not enter the whole family?"
That night, the soldiers guarding the imperial capital who thought they were resting were suddenly awakened by the shouts of siege.
The soldiers guarding the city who were always nervous suddenly picked up the weapons beside them and stationed on the city wall one by one to stand firmly on the city wall, preparing to resist the offensive outside the city.
But until half an hour later, there was no more abnormal movement outside the city.
Gradually, some soldiers began to mutter to each other, and then people continued to join the discussion camp.
"Dongdongdongdongdongdong--" Another rush of attacking drums sounded, but at the same time, there was no action of siege in the city when only the sound of drums was heard.
After repeated seven or eight times, it was almost dawn. When the siege drums under the city sounded again, the defenders in the city were already numb. Except for standing on the city wall with their eyes open, they had actually psychologically determined that nothing would happen again.
Unfortunately, they guessed wrong this time. When the army suddenly carried the ladder to the city, and a dense rain of arrows suddenly appeared in the distance, the soldiers guarding the city were shot and killed. When someone fell to the ground and groaned, the soldiers on the city wall realized that this was the real thing.
However, when they gathered the momentum of a battle again, the coalition soldiers who had just attacked the city carried the ladder and turned around and walked back.
This time, except for the few arrows shot from the city at the beginning, injured the infantry, the opponent did not lose anything. On the other hand, the rain of arrows on the city wall just now shot two or three hundred people. The most important thing is that the people guarding the city did not dare to sleep for a quarter of an hour.
On the second day, the troops were still besieging the city. However, this time, Ling Xuanyi led the team himself. After lunch, he fought several times in the morning and then ordered the troops to retreat.
For more than ten consecutive days, they attacked the city day and night, especially at night, which always disturbed the people on the guards' city's guards' panic. As a result, they shouted all night and stopped the troops in the morning. Then they changed shifts and continued during the day.
At the beginning, the defender of the city insisted on preparing to defend at any time, but as the number of times increased, more and more soldiers gradually became lazy.
"How about it, it's been the tenth day in a row. I'm afraid the people in the city can't stand it anymore?" Jiang Huan and Ling Xuanyi stood together and asked quietly.
Ling Xuanyi shook his head gently, pointed to the city wall and said, "The other party had already responded a few days ago, and had also made adjustments with our harassment. I believe they are now divided into two shifts day and night."
When Jiang Huan heard this, he thought for a while and felt that it was true. Although the ones Ling Han gathered were just a bunch of rammed soldiers. After raising them for a few years, they did some related exercises, and in terms of combat power, they naturally could not match those of them.
However, with the strong city defense, it is not possible to defeat it in one sentence. In addition, although the defenders are not very talented, they are not even unable to deal with the tricks of the hard-working army.
"What should we do? Let's continue to waste time with Ling Han like this?" Although Jiang Huan knew in his heart, if he still treated the waste like this and continued to harass him, there would be no actual results. Over time, I am afraid that his side would gradually fall into a downward trend.
Ling Xuanyi kept silent. Jiang Huan asked several more times, but Ling Xuanyi didn't answer. Unfortunately, Jiang Huan could only turn his head and concentrate on commanding the soldiers to continue pretending to attack the city.
At night, I was used to the acting performances of the allied forces outside the city every night, but suddenly there was no action outside the city today. "Hey, do you think those people outside are tired tonight? Why are there no movement today?" A guard guarding outside the gatehouse looked outside the city and said to another guard beside him.
"Come back quickly, don't stick out and fall down carefully!" The guard next to him hurriedly grabbed his companion, and then persuaded him with a little reproach.
"It's time to stop. It's been more than ten days in a row, so I'm tired of watching it." The captain came over, knocked on two guards, and teased at the same time.
As the soldiers on the city wall gradually gathered to discuss, the city defense, which seemed relatively regular, suddenly saw several unguarded situations, which made Liu Xiao, who was temporarily planning to patrol the city wall at night.
"You bastards, the enemies outside the city are still besieging the city, so you dare to neglect your duties like this! Come on! Pull these guys down and beat thirty military sticks!" Liu Xiao suddenly felt angry when he saw the soldiers who gathered together and let his responsibilities talk around.
The continuous harassment outside the city day and night must be followed. Although I didn't know what the prince of Zhao County left behind. However, Liu Xiao also led the troops and fought several times. He knew the dangers in it, so he did not dare to be careless.
It was because of worrying that the night changes that I ran up to the city walls to patrol in the middle of the night, and I caught these unconscious people. I was angry and directly rewarded each person with thirty military sticks. Otherwise, there would be no rules, and anyone could neglect their duties in such a crisis!
Liu Xiao walked around the area he was responsible for, checked the spare defensive equipment on the city wall, and waited until it was almost time for Mao to get off the city wall and prepared to go back and have a rest.
But just as Liu Xiao walked down the stairs of the city tower, he suddenly heard panic shouts from the city walls and the sound of trumpets suddenly sounded outside the city!
"Hurry up, be prepared, the enemy has sieged the city, they have really sieged the city!" Some soldiers hurriedly greeted their companions, some of whom had taken the opportunity to sleep under the city wall, and were awakened in a daze. Before they could find the weapon that did not know where they landed, they were shot by a burst of arrows, killing and injured!
What Liu Xiao didn't expect was that Ling Xuanyi and his team continued to harass the city day and night, which had long caused the soldiers guarding the city to become paralyzed. Even Liu Xiao's nightly patrols could not change the psychological attitudes of most soldiers. In addition, he could not understand Ling Xuanyi's plans, so this sudden large-scale attack made the soldiers guarding the city at a loss.
