"Brother, Tian Hu is so easy to get rid of, it seems that he has other plans!"

Xiao Jiasui waited for Tian Hu to leave before speaking in a low voice.

"Tian Hu is not a good thing. When the kind of teacher is gone, it's time to attack us!"

Sun Lei sneered, how could Tian Hu's careful thinking hide it from him, and hit Ximen?Ximen was facing Yan'an Mansion, whether it was the Western Army's aid or the Xixia people's killing, Ximen's position was the first to bear the brunt.

"Brother, how do we fight?"

Li Zhu looked at Sun Lei and asked, since Sun Lei agreed to Tian Hu, it would be a matter of time before he attacked the city.

"Let's go to the west gate first. As for the siege, Tian Hu hasn't done anything yet, so we're not in a hurry!"

Sun Lei sneered, Tian Hu is much worse than a rascal who is shameless.

The army to the west of Fenyang Mansion quickly dispersed, leaving space for Sun Lei's army.

"Come on, let's set up camp first!"

Sun Lei looked at Sun An and the others and ordered, now the recruits are under the command of Sun An and the others.

Sun An is also an expert in the army, and soon he took the recruits to find a place near the mountains and rivers and began to cut trees and build a village.

"Leader Sun, King Tian asked Princess Wen and General Cui to return to the camp to discuss military affairs!"

As soon as Sun Lei's camp was built, Tian Hu sent someone to urge Qiongying, Wen Zhongrong, and Cui Ye to go back.

"Ask Fang Taiwei about this matter, he lost the bet, these three will stay with me!"

Sun Lei dismissed Tian Hu's people with a single sentence, but can he return the person he likes to Tian Hu?
In the next two days, Tian Hu did not attack the city, and Sun Lei was not in a hurry. He asked Sun An to lead the recruits to cut wood and make trebuchets, as if they were really preparing to attack the city.

"This trebuchet looks a bit like it!"

Sun Lei looked at the newly built trebuchet and said with a smile.

"Brother, there are really talents among the recruits. These few are all frontier artisans, and they are proficient in making ordnance!"

Sun An smiled and pointed to the five dark men who were nearly fifty years old and said, these men are still in good shape, but their temples are all gray, and one of them even has a long scar on his face.

"They're all talented people. The frontier army doesn't want me, Liang Shanbo wants it. Work hard, brother, I won't treat you badly!"

Sun Lei promised with a laugh.

"Thank you brother."

Several people were overjoyed and hurriedly bowed to Sun Lei.

"These trebuchets are a bit too bulky. Make some small ones that are easy to move. It's better to add a few wheels to the bottom so that they can be pulled around by horses!"

Sun Lei touched those trebuchets and said.

"Brother, it can be built, but the siege effect will not be good.

Scarface said.

"It's okay, just be smart!"

Sun Lei smiled and didn't say much.

"Do as your brother asks!"

Of course, Sun An knew the reason. These trebuchets were not intended to be used for siege, they should be used to deal with the Xixia people. They were too bulky to be suitable for combat.

For five days in a row, no major war broke out. In Fenyang City, the Western Army seemed to be quite exhausted. The number of defenders was decreasing day by day.

"No, this is not what the Western Army should look like!"

Lu Zhishen frowned and looked at the defenders in Fenyang City. He was also an officer of the Western Army and knew the habits of the Western Army very well. This kind of law-abiding is not the character of the Western Army.

"Master Lu, what's so strange?"

Sun Lei looked at Lu Zhishen and asked.

"If there is really a lack of food and grass, the Western Army should come out of the city at this moment. It doesn't matter whether it is a desperate battle or a breakout. It is absolutely impossible to be so trapped and wait for death."

Lu Zhi said deeply.

"It's very strange. After all, Zhong Shidao is also the helm of the Zhong family army, a famous general of the Western Army. It is impossible to sit still and wait for death."

Xiao Jiasui also said, as a famous general, it is impossible to make such a low-level mistake.

"Since everyone thinks there is a problem, then there must be a problem!"

Sun Lei said, Lu Zhishen and Xiao Jiasui are not ordinary people, and their eyes are even more vicious, it is impossible to misread them.

"Is he waiting for us to attack the city? He has an ambush in the city!"

Qiao Daoqing said.

"In terms of siege, Fenyang can be regarded as a strong city. If we really fight, ten times the army can take it forcibly, but the casualties will definitely not be small, and Tian Hu's army is weak. If we really fight, I'm afraid If they are all dead, they will not be able to attack Fenyang."

Li Zhu said, since ancient times, it was not easy to attack the city, but now Fenyang is guarded by a kind of teacher, and it is even more difficult to attack.

"How about we talk to Master Zhong?"

Sun Lei looked at Lu Zhishen and asked.

"Before the battle between the two armies, even if you want to chat, he won't talk to you!"

Lu Zhi shook his head deeply. Last time they talked with Zhong Shidao, and they had a big fight. With Zhong Shidao's temper, it is impossible to talk to Sun Lei again.

"It's up to people! Huarong, help me send a letter to the city!"

Sun Lei didn't care, he didn't want to talk to him, but this didn't prevent him from being a teacher.

That night, a letter was shot into the city of Fenyang Prefecture, and the defenders quickly sent the letter into the city.

However, the letters were like sinking into the sea, and Zhong Shidao didn't respond at all, and the defenders on the city were still exhausted and looked exhausted.

"It really doesn't give any face to be a teacher, but I sincerely asked him to meet!"

Sun Lei looked at Fenyang Mansion and said helplessly.

"Brother, why don't you talk about Xixia? Zhong Shidao has been fighting with Xixia for many years. As long as he mentions Xixia people, he will not be unresponsive."

Yu Sheng opened his mouth and said.

"He wouldn't believe anything without evidence. Last year they took down Hengshan. If it wasn't for our Quartet uprising, Tong Guan should have ordered them to attack Xingqing Mansion at this time. When I said that the Xixia people were coming, he probably Think I lied to him."

Sun Lei shook his head, Zhong Shidao didn't even want to see him face to face, so it was useless to say anything at this time.

"Brother, Tian Hu sent Fang Xuedu here!"

Lu Fang came to report.

"It looks like we have an appointment to attack the city! Bring him here!"

Sun Lei said with a smile.

"Boss Sun!"

Fang Xuedu cupped his fists at Sun Lei.

"Fang Taiwei, why did you come here today? The distance is not far, so you can walk more if you have nothing to do!"

Sun Lei said with a smile.

"There are complicated affairs in the army, please forgive me, Chief Sun! I came today to ask if Chief Sun is ready?"

Fang Xuedu looked at Sun Lei and said.

"Almost, this trebuchet is hard to build!"

Sun Lei shook his head.

"Boss Sun, some days have passed, it's time for us to attack the city."

Fang Xuedu frowned and said, they have been paying attention to Sun Lei's army these days, and they have built a lot of catapults.

"It's actually not bad to besiege without attacking. I see that the army of teachers and Taoists looks hungry. After a few more days, they will be destroyed without attacking. Why bother to attack!"

Sun Lei smiled and said.

"Although the army of Zhongshi Dao is short of food, we don't know the specific situation. Although the morale of the defenders is low these days, it is not a solution to keep guard like this!"

Fang Xuedu shook his head and said, their original intention was to procrastinate, but as the days went by, the consumption of 25 troops was a huge figure, and if the procrastination continued, it would be difficult to say whether it was the death of the teacher or the death of them.

"Look, those soldiers are weak, I think they will flee in two days!"

Sun Lei pointed to the defenders on the city of Fenyang and said. (end of this chapter)
