Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 246 Small Prelude to Siege
For three consecutive days, the Khitan launched an attack on the Northern Camp.

The generals under his command took turns to fight, and the offensive became stronger day by day.

However, relying on the strength of the camp and the proper use of defensive equipment, every attack was blocked.

The number of cremated corpses also increased from eight to twelve.

Khitan saw that he would not be able to take down the northern camp for a while, so he also began to think of other ways not to attack the camp by force.

Seeing this, Luo Youdu understood that it was time to attack the city.

Khitan no longer stormed the camp, so it would be meaningless for him to spend it here, and it would add a bit of uncertainty instead.

It's late at night!

The deafening drumbeat suddenly sounded.

Two thousand soldiers, holding torches high in both hands, approached Youzhou City step by step.

The surrounding area illuminated by the scorching fire made the night seem like day.

In an instant, Youzhou City also responded.

The nervous golden gong sounded everywhere, and the drowsy soldiers were woken up by the general. Seeing the battle below the city, there was a trace of unnatural fear on their faces.

The twelve piles of corpses outside the city had been burned for five days, and they are still burning, and it is unknown how many people died.

Is it their turn now?

Shi Fang has been living on top of the city tower since Zhou Junbing surrounded Youzhou City. When he heard the news, he got up in an instant.

When I left the attic, I saw that there was no sound on the front of the south city, and there was a lot of noise near the east section of the south city wall. Looking down from the tower, there were indeed countless torches shining in the east.

Shi Fang guessed Luo Youdu's intention in an instant.

There are not many soldiers on our side, and the opponent does not intend to attack the city from the front through formal means.

After all, even if the city gate is broken, there is still an urn city.

It was a waste of time and troops to avoid the Weng City directly, attack the eastern wall of the South City, and go directly to the city to fight, fighting for consumption.

It's just the siege at night, can you see clearly?
He had no time to think about it, walked eastward for more than 150 steps, and issued an order loudly: "Don't panic, cheer up. Order, Li Dutou, Zhang Dutou, move the bed crossbow here quickly, The catapults are also approaching this way. Youzhou City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so they will have to come and go for safekeeping this time."

Shi Fang gasped loudly, giving orders one after another.

Then on the battlements, looking into the distance.

He narrowed his eyes into a slit, and his eyes hurt, and he could only see a big lump of light.

The brightness of the flames on the opposite side overwhelmed the moonlight, and the strong light and darkness formed a light curtain barrier, and it was impossible to see what was going on inside the light.

Shi Fang didn't care too much, he didn't understand the optical phenomenon that existed in it, but he also knew that he couldn't see the other party clearly, and the other party couldn't see himself clearly under strong light.

As long as the opposite side is close, you can see clearly.

Shi Fang calmly encouraged the morale of the soldiers, and said: "The opponent's first step in attacking the city is to fill the moat. We stand on a high place, and they are a group of arrow targets, shooting to death. Let them know, our Yanzhao Erlang is amazing."

Shi Fang waited quietly, the drums on the opposite side didn't stop, but the light didn't move.

Half an hour passed in a flash, and Shi Fang waited impatiently.

Li Dutou couldn't help muttering: "Why don't you move, you won't play us again?"

Luo Youdu specially ordered, don't rush to attack the city.

However, it is allowed to beat the battle drum at night and put on a show.

The generals and officials who had nothing to do would beat the drum every now and then.

This week's army knocked casually, but the defenders had to pay attention.

Not to mention ten lies and one truth, even if one hundred lies and one truth, they dare not bet.

Without that capital.

Shi Fang was also unsure, but looking at the flames, he said, "It shouldn't happen. It might be mobilizing siege equipment. To attack the Youzhou city tower, you need to use large equipment, and large equipment moves slowly."

After another half an hour, Shi Fang was so angry that he just wanted to slap himself, and ordered: "Soldiers sleep in four batches, and rest at the same place."

After another hour, Shi Fang was convinced in his heart that he was playing tricks on the other party.

With a little anger, a little helplessness, and a little embarrassment, he ordered the soldiers to watch carefully, and he also found a corner on the city wall and squinted for a while.

It was just before dawn.

"Stay in the room, stay in the room!"

Shi Fang woke up startled, and said, "Is that so? The other party is attacking?"

Seeing Zhang Dutou who woke him up, Shi Fang suppressed his panic, and said in a deep voice, "What's wrong?"

Zhang Dutou said angrily, "We've been tricked!"

Shi Fang said calmly, "It's nothing, it's just a trick. They don't dare to attack, they only use this despicable method."

It was easy to say, but I couldn't help laughing at myself: "I'm used to this!"

Zhang Dutou said: "No, I'd better go to the west to see by myself!"

An ominous premonition welled up in Shi Fang's heart, and he hurriedly got up and ran towards the city wall of the western section of Nancheng.

There are already many soldiers pointing near the city wall.

Shi Fang looked down and was shocked to find that the moat in this section had been filled up.

In a flash, Shi Fang didn't know what was going on?
The other party attracted themselves to the east wall, but they used the cover of night to sneak to the west to fill the moat.

No wonder the drums kept ringing to cover up the sound of footsteps and sandbags entering the water.

They didn't have enough soldiers in their hands, so they gathered their troops on the east wall, and there were only a few guards far away from each other on the west side to prevent surprise attacks from the opposite side.

If the opponent does not light the fire, it is really extremely difficult to find if it is only near the moat.

Shi Fang suddenly felt that he was a monkey, being played around by the other party, and an unknown fire surged in his heart, and he thought to himself: "It's really impossible, just drive the people to the city?"

But soon, Shi Fang calmed down.

Such stupid things cannot be done.

The remaining [-] soldiers in Youzhou City are all Han soldiers from Wujing, and they are soldiers living in Youzhou City. It is too easy to cause mutiny by driving the people to the city.

The same operation is performed in several other doors at the same time.

The surrounding soldiers all used this method of attacking east and west, and filled a section of the moat without a single soldier.

Xiao Hunian was born as a daughter, and she didn't want to live with all the stinky men, so she would go home to rest every night.

Hearing the movement of the city tower early in the morning, he hurried to the south of the city.

The Luo Youdu people are in the south of the city, and they all feel that the attack here is the most violent.

Xiao Hunian was also speechless for a while after hearing what happened last night.

After a while, Xiao Hunian finally said: "That's fine, at least it proves that the opponent is going to attack the city. If this goes on, not to mention morale, the rogue battalion will be finished."

Given the current panic situation in Youzhou City, they dare not forcibly increase their troops, and can only recruit soldiers to join the army by means of rewards and lures.

With this heavy reward, more than [-] males were successfully recruited, most of them were gangsters or even hooligans.

But in this case, talk is better than nothing.

Now they gather in the city barracks for basic training.

However, following Luo Youdu's use of burning corpses as an offensive deterrent, many local hooligans have retreated.

False!

　Thank you Shuyou Chocolate for the 1993 rewards, Tianlin [-] for the [-] rewards, thank you for your support!
