"Yes!" Luo Li saluted, then stepped down from the platform and personally climbed up the high platform in the camp. He raised his telescope to look around. The young officer next to him was holding a signal flag, waiting for his orders.
The midday sun shines directly down, bringing a rare warmth to the day.
The Ming army's siege troops' assembly preparations attracted the attention of the defending enemy, and the Ming army had no intention of concealing its intentions.
Tong Yangxing received the report and did not dare to delay. He hurried to the south of the city and climbed up the city wall to observe.
There were shouts and neighs of horses in the Ming army camp. Although the sound was not very clear, the gathering of a large number of troops and horses could still be felt.
"Without shield carts and few ladders, are the enemies monkeys?" A sarcastic voice of disapproval came from behind. Tong Yangxing knew it was Shuotuo without turning around.
Tong Yangxing was also very surprised. Although the Ming army had drained the water from the moat and filled several passages in the trench under the cover of artillery fire during the siege of the city, how could they attack the city walls?
"Is it a bluff to lure the reinforcements outside the city to continue the attack?" Tong Yangxing turned his head and asked inquiringly.
Shuotuo hadn't thought of this, but he nodded as if he had expected it and said, "That must be the case."
Tong Yangxing blinked his eyes. It was just a guess, but after Shuo Tuo was so sure, he believed it a little, but he still showed hesitation.
Shuotuo puffed out his chest and said confidently, "If Prince Shiwuli is worried, I will let this prince monitor the enemy."
Tong Yangxing hurriedly said, "My Lord, please go and have your meal first. I will stay here."
Shuo Tuo was not polite either. He said, "It's better to be careful. Thank you for your hard work, Prince Shi Wuli." With that, he turned and left with a few personal soldiers.
Tong Yangxing watched Shuotuo leave and immediately ordered more troops to be stationed on the southern side of the city wall. It's better to be cautious than not, Tong Yangxing still agreed with Shuotuo's words, even though there was a hint of contempt in his words.
"Listen up, everyone! After the city wall collapses, rush in like crazy. Kill, kill, kill anyone who stands in my way! Behead anyone who retreats! Behead anyone who hesitates to advance..."
Inside the Ming army camp, officers yelled and shouted at the soldiers. This kind of battle mobilization was very similar.
Commander Huang Long frowned, narrowed his eyes, and looked at the city wall in the distance.
He had never seen tunnel blasting, but he believed in the blasting expert from the capital, who was said to have received guidance and praise from Wansui.
He thought the pre-war mobilization was conducted in the form of shouting and scolding, which was a good thing. At least the soldiers' unified roar of "Kill" could make people feel passionate and excited.
