The prince is five and a half years old, and he is reclaiming land and becoming a group favorite.

Chapter 353 The counterattack begins

This sounds like a vernacular, but everyone here knows that war is coming, so these words are the best blessing!

Mr. Huo was the first to stand up: "We will take action soon. I will offer you tea instead of wine to pay your respects to Your Highness!"

After he finished the cup of tea, he suddenly smashed the tea cup to the ground, just like every time in the past, they would drink heavily before going on an expedition and then smash the wine bowl together!

Gu Yuzhi heard Mr. Huo say this and smashed the tea cup.

Seeing that His Highness the King was like this, the remaining people drank all the tea in their hands and smashed their cups.

After everyone sat down again, Gu Yuzhi looked left and right, then pointed at the dishes on the table and said, "Everyone, eat quickly!"

Eat more and you will have the strength to kill more enemies later.

The night is getting darker and darker, and the moonlight is hazy.

Compared with last night, there was no wind today, but there was also not a single star in the sky.

Before nightfall, Zhu Shoubei had gathered all the young men in the city and briefly taught them how to help the city defenders after the war started.

In addition to carrying stones, wooden piles and other things, these young adults are also responsible for carrying corpses on the city walls...

At this time, Huizhou City was already silent.

The young and middle-aged people stood where they needed to stand, while other people closed their homes, hid in cellars, or blocked the doors desperately to prevent the war from failing and the navy entering the city to massacre the people.

Gu Yuzhi put on soft gold silk armor and a specially customized small armor. Carrying a bow and arrow and a special small spear, he led two hundred elite soldiers to Yudingmen.

At this time, the city wall was the same as the previous days, without any light.

Guards Gu Yuzhi and Jiang Kangming escorted Gu Yuzhi up the city wall. Several people looked up at the dark sky and waited quietly for the news from the other two city gates.

After a while, the east and west doors suddenly lit up with fire. Gu Yuzhi's eyes suddenly widened and he turned to look outside the Yuding door.

Before coming, Mr. Huo told him that the navy sent by the King of Chu did not have ladders or other tools to attack the city, so as long as the city gate was not opened, these navy would never be able to attack.

Since Yudingmen cannot attack with fire, their attack time must be later than that of Dongxizhimen, waiting for the signal.

The navy outside Yuding Gate looked at the firelight on the East and West Zhimen, and suddenly became confused. They got up in a hurry. They didn't even pack up the things they had set up camp, and formed a team indiscriminately.

During the day, they received news that the navy outside Anning Gate had been wiped out. They had been ready and waiting for a day, but there was no response from Huizhou City at all.

They only thought that Huizhou City had also suffered serious losses, so they should take a rest. Who would have thought that after nightfall, the defenders of Huizhou City would actually start to resist!

There are only a few hundred of them?

How dare you challenge thousands of them?
The naval generals outside Yudingmen City were instantly angry, and their torches quickly lit up, exposing their location to Gu Yuzhi.

Gu Yuzhi took off his bow and arrow, glanced at the man standing at the front of the team, pouted and said: "Guard Zhang, I am not strong enough to shoot this man."

Why doesn't he grow up quickly?

Guard Zhang half-crouched and glanced at Gu Yuzhi's fully drawn bow: "Your Highness is already very good now."

Gu Yuzhi put the bow and arrow on his back with some frustration, stood on tiptoes and looked at the navy who had formed a team under the city wall: "Guard Zhang, they seem to be setting off."

When analyzing the battle situation before, Mr. Huo said that after the fire broke out from the East and West Zhimen, the Yuding Gate remained motionless, which may have caused misunderstandings to the navy outside the city gate, causing them to divide their forces and go to the other two gates. support. What Gu Yuzhi had to do was to prevent them from going to support them.

After hearing this, Guard Zhang stood up again, raised his bow and fired an arrow, pointing directly at the soldier holding a torch on the far right.

When those people didn't react, he suddenly let go of his hand, and the arrow flew straight towards the man, and shot into the man's neck with a pop. The man subconsciously covered the wound with his hand, and then fell down with a thud. Go down.

The torch fell beside him, reflecting his disbelieving face.

The general was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened and he roared: "The enemy is attacking!"

As soon as the words "enemy attack" came out, the navy fell into panic again. They quickly reacted and put up their shields to resist the rain of arrows that might come next.

But what they didn't expect was that there was no movement from the people in Yudingmen.

If it weren't for the torches still burning on the ground and the corpses lying on the ground, they would have even suspected that the arrow just now was their imagination.

After waiting for a while, the general suddenly said: "Put out the torch! Put out the torch!"

The moonlight is not good tonight, so as long as they are in darkness and so far apart, the other party will definitely not be able to find their specific location.

But the fire at the other two city gates became more and more intense, illuminating half of the sky, and there were even faint sounds of fighting.

Comparing the two, Yudingmen seemed eerily quiet.

The general looked out through the gap in his shield. There seemed to be figures on the city wall, but there seemed to be nothing...

His brows were almost furrowed. After what happened just now, he certainly wouldn't naively think that there was no one guarding the Yuding Gate.

But why did Prince Qi choose to counterattack today?
Could it be that he guessed that His Royal Highness the King of Chu had already led his people from the canal to Lingnan?

After thinking for a moment, the general roared: "Now we can't see the situation on the city wall, and the people on the city wall can't see our situation either."

"We can't waste time here, we must support Dongxizhimen."

The general called someone's name and made arrangements in a low voice, intending to divide the team into two and protect the soldiers at the other two gates as much as possible.

When His Royal Highness the King of Chu's reply arrives tomorrow, we will decide whether to attack the city or continue to defend it.

The soldiers were arranging tactics, but they didn't expect Gu Yuzhi to quietly slide down from the city wall with two hundred elite soldiers and approach here quietly.

It was close now, and having adapted to the darkness, Zhang Weiwei and others instantly drew their bows and arrows, and took the lead in fighting before the opponent could react.

The bow and arrow bypassed the shields of the front row and shot into the bodies of the soldiers behind.

The sounds of arrows entering the body, the wails of soldiers, and the sound of bodies falling to the ground continued to sound.

The general did not dare to waste a moment, and while resisting the rain of arrows, he directed the people to retreat to the mountain.

The generals are sure that there will not be too many people in Huizhou to attack. As long as they enter the mountains, the home field will be theirs: "Enter the mountains, enter the mountains! Stay up until dawn, and when His Highness's support arrives, we will attack Huizhou! Avenge our brothers who sacrificed their lives." !”

Because of the general's words, the soldiers who were originally demoralized cheered up.

They just want to surround Huizhou. As long as Qi Chengjun pleads guilty, the people of Huizhou will be safe...
