Chapter 372
"Lonicera, but there's news from the palace?" Zhou Xining asked as he looked at Lonicera who walked into the room.
It has been an hour since Changyan led people out of the mansion for reinforcements. If everything goes well, Changyan should turn around, and even if things go wrong, news should come back.
Liandong shook his head and said: "No, the servant girl has been paying attention to the movement in the palace, there is neither a signal of success nor a signal for help, I am afraid that something else has changed."
"What's going on at the city gate? Especially at the west gate." Zhou Shining then asked.
Liandong said: "Although the enemy's offensive is fierce, the defenders of the four cities are also defending well. Both sides have suffered injuries. From the current point of view, I am afraid that tonight will be a stalemate and fight through the night."
"Do you know the strength of the enemy troops involved in the siege?"
"It is reported that there are two echelons attacking the city on the north side of the city, with about two to 3000 people. The situation on the two sides of the south city and the east city is similar, with about [-] people. There are tens of thousands of people." Liandong said.
Zhou Xining lowered his eyes and sighed: "This is the first day, and the enemy army only sent half and half of their troops to attack the city tentatively, and in the end, it became a stalemate with the defenders.
If my predictions are correct, they will not only have to stay up all night, I am afraid that they will continue to attack without stopping for a moment, and not only will the offensive not be reduced by half, but it will probably be strengthened. "
"If the enemy army attacked with superior force, it would be difficult to defend for three days. If they really adopted the tactics Madam said, wouldn't it be even more difficult?" Liandong frowned worriedly.
Yeah, it's even harder.If the enemy army really adopted this kind of non-stop round-the-clock attack, not to mention defending for three days, I am afraid that half of the defending army will collapse in one day and one night.
The city couldn't last two days.
Unexpectedly, Xiaoshou's actions only delayed them for a day.They have already taken precautions, and if they want to repeat the old tricks and continue to dominate, it may not be so easy.
How can we continue to delay their offensive?
Zhou Shining never thought about how to defend for three days, because she clearly knew that the two sides had unequal military strength and combat power, so they couldn't hold it at all.
From the beginning, what she thought about was not how to defend the city against the enemy, but how to prevent the enemy from attacking the city.But the current deployment of the enemy's siege forces made her somewhat at a loss. At least for now, she hadn't been able to think of any effective way to interrupt the enemy's siege.
But time waits for no one, the situation must be changed as soon as possible, otherwise the city will be destroyed when the night comes again tomorrow.
"Who is on duty outside?"
Seeing a hidden guard who appeared in response, Zhou Shining ordered: "Send an order to seal the Junzilin from now on, and no one can enter or leave."
After the dark guard took the order to retreat, he turned to Liandong and said, "Go, follow me to the city gate tower to have a look."
After Liandong nodded, she quickly turned around and went inside, took out a large cloak and put it on Zhou Xining's body.
"You also need to add some big clothes. It's cold outside the city gate, and your little jacket can't stop it." Zhou Xining glanced at the little jacket on Liandong, and said as he walked out.
"Yeah." Even if Zhou Xining didn't say anything, Liandong still planned to go back to the house to add some big clothes, and she wouldn't make trouble with her body.What's more, she also...
After walking two steps forward, Zhou Xining suddenly stopped again, took a deep look at Liandong, and said, "Liandong, you stay in the mansion to guard Junzilin, let Banxia follow me to the city gate tower .”
"lady……"
"Don't worry, I'm just going to the gate tower to take a look at the battle between the two sides. The city is not yet broken, so there is no danger in coming and going." Liandong had just opened his mouth when Zhou Xining cut off his words.
Then he patted Liandong's shoulder and urged, "Go get someone to arrange the carriage, and then call Banxia over."
Liandong opened her mouth, caressed her belly with both hands, and then strode out of the room to make arrangements.
Yes, Lonicera is pregnant, not long ago.
After Lonicera was injured in the dense forest by the Xiaoyi River that time, Mr. Han once diagnosed that Lonicera had injured his inner body, and even if he recovered, it would be detrimental to his offspring.Originally, Yungui and Liandong had discussed that they would go to Shantang to adopt one in a few years.
Originally, Mr. Han's diagnosis was that the child's upper body was difficult, and even if he was lucky enough to get on the upper body, he would easily slip off.Although Zhou Xining and He Beiting have also discussed, if they can't have children, let Tuan Tuan and An An take care of them until they grow old.But since the child is here, he must be kept no matter what.
After all, Yu Rendong and Yungui said that no one can replace their own children.
Therefore, it is fine for Zhou Xining to let Liandong continue to accompany her by her side, but he will not let her follow her around the city anymore.
This child is too precious to take any risk lightly.
This was also one of the reasons why Liandong didn't insist on going to the gate tower. The other reason was that, as Zhou Shining said, it was just watching the battle from the gate tower, not going up to the city wall to supervise the battle. There would be no danger in this trip.
Zhou Xining took Banxia to the west city first, and when she climbed up to the gate tower, she suddenly found that the prince Chu Yuchen was there.Seeing that he seemed to have just arrived, he calmly stepped forward to salute.
"I have seen His Royal Highness!"
Zhou Xining just bowed his knees to give a blessing, and didn't squat down to salute solemnly.And Chu Yuchen waved his hand as if he didn't see her, to signal her not to be too polite.
"Mrs. He, do you notice something strange?" The two stood silently, and after watching each other for about a quarter of an hour, Chu Yuchen asked first.
"Is it the same at the North City Gate?" Zhou Shining asked without answering.
"How do you know I'm coming from the North City Gate?" Chu Yuchen asked back, and then continued, "Not only the North City Gate, but also the South City and East City are almost the same situation."
"Since His Highness opened his mouth, he must have seen something, and my wife would like to hear more about it." Zhou Shining said while continuing to watch the battle on the other side of the city wall.
It's not that she wants to ask knowingly, but that she can't think of an effective and feasible way to stop the current situation.And since Chu Yuchen also saw the enemy's tactics, he must have something in his heart.
The so-called one person counts the short, and two count the long, not to mention that Chu Yuchen is still a person who likes to be clever.
Chu Yuchen glanced at Zhou Xining, and saw that she was looking at the battle situation on the other side of the city wall with a solemn face, so he said directly: "Their troops are twice as strong as ours, and within two days, we will be consumed by them to death. "
Straightforward and concise.
"So, we have to find a way to interrupt their attack and disrupt their attack plan. It is best to be able to lead them by the nose, whether to attack or defend, whether to retreat or advance, all have to follow our pace." Chu Yu Chen continued.
His thinking was very clear, but he just couldn't think of an effective way.
