Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 412
The Zhenxi Army has arrived at the city, and the attack is about to begin.

"Each battle position——" Lin Chuan's expression froze, and he raised his voice to order the troops to prepare for the battle.

The Nanchuan infantry soldiers who had crowded around the city wall to watch the excitement returned to their positions one after another under the scolding of their respective officers, their shields were erected, and their archers were ready to fight back at any time.

Dark clouds overwhelmed the city, facing the overwhelming soldiers of the Zhenxi Army. Although the Nanchuan soldiers had the city wall as a barrier, their hearts were still nervous. Many people hid behind their shields and prayed softly. The officers also kept a rare silence.

1 minute passed, 2 minutes passed... until 10 minutes passed, the expected attack did not come, and even the arrows of the tentative attack did not fly into the city wall.

A bold infantry soldier poked his head out from behind the shield and stretched his neck to observe the enemy situation outside the city. He only saw the Zhenxi army mobilizing frequently. Teams of infantrymen came out from the formation and began to be on guard at a stone's throw away. .

Behind the guard soldiers, there was a clanging sound, and the Zhenxi Army actually set up camp outside Heiyan City.

"What's going on here?" This is what the soldiers guarding the city are eager to know at this moment.

On the high place of the city wall, Lin Chuan, who was surrounded by generals, also looked puzzled. According to reason, the Zhenxi army is strong, while the defenders of Heiyan City are weak. They should attack, but now they have set up camp. The monk is puzzled.

"Pass down the order and strengthen the vigilance. Maybe setting up camp is just to confuse us, and they have nothing to do." Lin Chuan didn't think that the [-] troops of the Zhenxi Army came to Heiyan City just for tourism.

However, a whole morning has passed, and the Zhenxi Army has built a strong camp on the outskirts of Black Rock City, just like a fake version of Black Rock City, but the attack still has not started, and even the security forces have withdrawn from the camp, leaving only a small number of The sentry patrols outside Black Rock City.

Lin Chuan has always liked to take the initiative on the battlefield, but now the Zhenxi Army's behavior is completely beyond Lin Chuan's expectations. They were full of confidence and prepared to let the attacking Zhenxi Army smash their heads under the Black Rock City, but they didn't know what to do. don't attack...

"Will they dig tunnels to attack?" Chief of Staff Xue Wen guessed.

Distraught, Lin Chuan shook his head: "It's freezing cold now, and the ground is as frozen as rocks. It's impossible for them to dig tunnels to attack. Besides, they have a strong force, so there's no need to do so."

Xue Wen frowned: "That's weird, then what's the point of them not attacking, should we go out of the city to test them?"

"Maybe what they are waiting for is that we can't bear to go out of the city, and then take advantage of the momentum to attack." Lin Chuan guessed.

Lin Chuan stroked his chin and thought for a moment before ordering: "Send someone out of the city to contact his mother, Murong Ke, and let him lead the cavalry to test the reality of the Zhenxi army camp outside the city."

Soon, several carefully selected cavalry guards rode out of Black Rock City, preparing to send orders to the Murong Ke cavalry unit wandering around.

But as soon as the cavalry guards left the city, the patrol cavalry of the Zhenxi Army surrounded them from all directions like ghosts.

"They want to trap us to death." This was what Lin Chuan was thinking at the moment.

But then Lin Chuan smiled. The longer the time drags on, the more beneficial it will be for his side. As long as Heiyan City is defended, the troops under Long Han's command will continue to gather under Heiyan City. Powerful, it will not be an opponent at that time.

Thinking of this level, Lin Chuan felt relieved, since the opponent didn't attack, of course he was happy and at ease.

There was a tense atmosphere in the air of Black Rock City, but it was surprisingly quiet. The soldiers of both sides spent the whole day in peace. Such a strange confrontation was very different on the battlefield in Gyeonggi Province. .

There were no stars and no moon in the night, and the dark night was dark. Lin Chuan once again inspected the city defense to make sure that the Zhenxi Army would not take the opportunity to attack at night, so he went down to the city to rest.

The residents in the city had all fled at the beginning of the war, and most of the blocks in the entire city had been turned into ruins due to the fighting. Lin Chuan's temporary headquarters was set up in a relatively undamaged small building.

"General, wash your face." Back in the room, Frost, who had been promoted to the head of a thousand guards, poured a basin of hot water for Lin Chuan, which made Lin Chuan feel the warmth of home after being outside for a whole day.

Lin Chuan held Frost's cracked little hand and said with distress: "Let's leave things to the people below. You don't have to do everything yourself. Look at how much I feel sorry for you."

Lin Chuan is a person who is not good at expressing. Facing Frost's silent dedication, he has never known how to thank him.

Frost was originally a rather forthright woman, but she was still very shy when Lin Chuan held her hand in such a way, her face turned red to the neck, and an ambiguous atmosphere filled the air for a while.

Just when Lin Chuan was so hot that he couldn't help but want to kiss Frost, there was a knock on the door outside.

"Sister Frost, I want to sleep with you tonight." Tie Rui, a female sergeant of the Special War Battalion, rushed in without waiting for the consent of the people inside.

"What...General, you continue..." Seeing Lin Chuan was also in the house, Tie Rui was embarrassed, turned around and left with a guilty conscience.

"General, I'm going to accompany Sister Tie Rui, you should rest early." Hanshuang also took the opportunity to withdraw her hand from Lin Chuan's, and left as if fleeing.

Soon the voices of two little women chirping came from outside, Lin Chuan touched his nose: Am I that scary?Little girl, let's see how I deal with you in the future.

Lin Chuan sleeps in his clothes, which is his habit on the battlefield, so that he can respond as quickly as possible in case of an emergency.

"Dong dong dong———" Lin Chuan fell asleep for less than two hours when he was awakened by a rapid knock on the door.

Lin Chuan sat up straight, rubbed his sleepy eyes, stared blankly for a moment, then quickly got out of bed, and opened the door in three steps at a time.

Under the light of the fire, the face of Xiao Zhan, who was in charge of the night watch, was flushed with cold, and behind Xiao Zhan, Xue Wen, the chief of staff, was also there.

"What's the situation?" Lin Chuan's tone was full of calmness, which affected Xiao Zhan's heart inexplicably.

Xiao Zhan moistened his throat and answered, "A fierce battle broke out outside the city."

"Who and who?"

"It's too dark to see clearly."

"Let's go and have a look." Lin Chuan closed the door, and followed Xiao Zhan and Xue Wen towards the city wall.

When they arrived at the city wall, there were already heavily armed infantry soldiers standing on the city wall. Seeing Lin Chuan approaching, they all gave way and saluted.

Xiao Zhan explained: "I was afraid that the enemy would take the opportunity to attack at night, so I kept the brothers in the Sixth Banner Battalion awake."

"It's very safe for you to do this." Lin Chuan didn't intend to blame Xiao Zhan. Now special circumstances are treated specially. For the safety of Black Rock City, Xiao Zhan's approach is very correct.

Lin Chuan rested his hands on the cold city wall, looked up and saw that the Zhenxi Army's defense line in the distance was noisy, and there were constant shouts of killing and the neighing of war horses. It was obvious that there was a battle there.
