Chapter 167 The wolf is really coming!
Outside the city, Guo Jia and Xu Shu were both stunned as they watched the battle.

They didn't understand why the momentum of the defenders on the city wall suddenly became so high.

What happened, and what methods did the defender use?
Could it be that there is already a way to deal with it?
But the two of them thought hard and couldn't figure out how to crack the offensive and defensive drills and the offensive strategy of suppressing without attacking.

"Command the three generals Yue Fei, Yuwen Chengdu, and Zhao Yun to stop the attack today!"

"The morale of the defenders is high. Attacking now is exactly what you want!"

"Set up camp first, and the city will not be destroyed overnight."

"Here!!"

The messengers went to convey Lin Fan's order. Xu Shu and Guo Jia were still thinking about the reason for the high morale on the city wall.

After a while, Guo Jiada said: "My lord, can you guess the reason why the morale of the defenders on the city wall is so high?"

Guo Jia asked, and Xu Shu also focused on Lin Fan.

Lin Fan smiled and shook his head: "You two don't even have a clue, how can I figure it out?"

"But to boost morale, you have to take the lead. The coach goes out to kill the enemy and live and die with the soldiers."

"Yuan Shu did not appear on the city wall, obviously not for this reason."

"Then it can only be that money and silk can move people's hearts, and rewards can make people excited."

"It's hard to guess what it is exactly."

"But no matter what the reason, this method can only be used once or twice. The effect will not be good for a long time."

"And we have plenty of time. Let's take a good rest tonight and continue tomorrow."

"Come on, have a drink with me to refresh yourself!"

"Here!!"

The next day, the sky was clear and cloudless.

Early in the morning, the horn of charge sounded.

Countless guards who were still sleeping woke up, picked up their weapons and looked outside.

But tens of thousands of soldiers were seen rushing towards the city wall.

The momentum is so overwhelming that it has the potential to smash the city wall into pieces.

Zhang Xun didn't think much and shouted directly: "Archers, prepare!"

"The enemy has been repairing overnight and his morale is high. It is very likely that he will attack for real."

Yan Xiang on the side narrowed his eyes slightly and was silent for a while, but did not speak in confusion.

The attacking soldiers were getting closer and closer, and the long sword in Zhang Xun's hand danced: "Shoot!!"

"whoosh whoosh"

Countless arrows pierced the sky and shot down to the earth like raindrops.

At the same time, the sound of ringing gold that was most annoying to the defenders on the city wall sounded again.

Switch back and forth, raise your shield and retreat.

This familiar and disgusting behavior made countless guards gnash their teeth, wishing they could just pounce on him and take a bite. However, they obviously couldn't do it on the city wall and could only watch the enemy disappear.

In one morning, there were five or six waves of charges, and almost every time the troops were retreated outside the range of the archers.

This made the defenders on the city wall extremely nervous and uncomfortable from top to bottom.

Even Zhang Xun and Yan Xiang, a determined person, still guessed wrong several times.

Every time they thought it was real this time, the enemy changed their attack and defense early, without any preparation to attack to the end.

Three poles in the sun.

"woooooo"

The horn of charge sounded again.

The defenders, who had been harassed all morning, had no trouble in their eyes.

Even Zhang Xun didn't want to shout "Archers prepare".

Because in everyone's eyes, this attack must also be fake.

First, from yesterday to now, there have been almost more than ten feint attacks, but not one real attack.

Every time there was thunder but little rain.

Secondly, it was almost noon. They had been running back and forth so many times during the offensive and defensive training all morning. How could they not be tired?
The sound of trumpets and drums became louder and louder.The attacking soldiers were getting closer.

However, the defenders on the city wall were still in an extremely relaxed state, and many people were even jeers in a low voice.

"I bet they don't dare to attack this time and will retreat."

"Who wants to bet with me? Come on, buy one and lose three!!"

"It's just a penny, that's understandable. Who is willing to give you money? You are really good at calculating!!"

"Yes, it is obvious that the enemy is bluffing. I have observed that the louder the roar of the attack, the faster they retreat. I see that they must retreat three feet away from the archers' range."

"Haha, you're right!"

"I'm not interested in betting at all, but I'm very interested in whether I can eat meat and drink wine at noon today!"

"Is what you said yesterday true? Is there still meat in this one?"

"Who knows? There should be, right?"

The sound of discussion and joking sounded from every corner of the city wall.

Yan Xiang, who was about to go down to check on the lunch meal, heard these rash words and felt something bad in his heart for some reason.

But thinking that there had been no attack from yesterday to now, he felt from the bottom of his heart that this attack was still a feint.

After taking another two steps forward, an unprecedented cold feeling spread from the soles of my feet to my head.

Yan Xiang suddenly realized that if he even considered it this way, wouldn't it mean that no one in the whole city thought that Lin Fan would really attack?
If Lin Fan happens to attack at this time, can the city wall be defended?
Even if it can be defended, how many manpower will be lost?

"Archers, prepare to fire arrows!!"

Yan Xiang suddenly shouted out, causing all the guards on the city wall who were discussing lunch to be stunned.

No one seemed to realize what Yan Xiang meant.

Some soldiers even explained: "Mr. Yan, it's noon, how can they not be tired and tired from running back and forth all morning?"

"Isn't attacking at this moment a waste of death?"

Yan Xiang didn't care to listen to his explanation and ran towards Zhang Xun quickly.

"General Zhang, give the order quickly and put the entire army on alert!"

"Archer ready!"

"The enemy is really coming!!"

Zhang Xun was stunned and saw Yan Xiang running in a hurry, and quickly looked outside the city.

But they saw that the attacking vanguard had already entered the range of the archers and was rushing towards the city wall in one go.

From the front, there was a hail of arrows, and the ladders were even approaching the city head.

This attack is real, not fake!

"Archer, let go of the arrow!!"

As soon as the words came out, Zhang Xun realized that the approaching arrow tower and the ladder were the biggest threat.

Archery is almost useless at this moment, and it will even delay the movements of the kerosene soldiers and slingers.

After all, there is only so much space on the city wall.

"The kerosene hand, the slinger, throw it down quickly!"

"Each captain and general will immediately guard the section of the city wall assigned to you."

"Whoever lets the enemy come up, I will kill him!"

“Don’t save kerosene, rocks!!”

"quick!!"

Zhang Xun's order was issued quickly enough, but the soldiers on the city wall couldn't react at all.

Especially those slingers and kerosene throwers, they never expected that the enemy would approach the city wall directly.

According to the previous steps, the archers should have retreated after shooting, and then it was their turn to step forward.

But now there is no chance to prepare.

For a time, there was chaos on the city wall, and the defenders were like a rabble.
