The next day, Yun Zheng continued to harass Turtleback City.
By the time Fu Tianyan led his troops to the scene urgently, it was already dark.
Yun Zheng's order to Fu Tianyan was to guard the camp and prevent the enemy from becoming desperate and directly raiding their camp and burning their food and supplies.
At nightfall, a new round of harassment officially began.
The Blood-Clothed Army took the lead, and the following troops also began to press forward.
The Dayue soldiers on the city wall have basically become accustomed to their movements.
Thanks to taking turns to rest in the north of the city during the day, the soldiers' spirits were slightly better than before.
But for many people, they still don’t get enough sleep.
The soldiers standing on the city wall kept yawning and cursing the enemy in their hearts.
Aren't they tired from doing this all day long?
...
...
If you have the guts, attack. If you don’t, just wait and see who can last the longest.
After an hour, the enemy troops gradually calmed down and no longer made noise like before.
The soldiers on the city wall waited for half an hour, but the enemy did not make any big noise.
Only the neighing of war horses could be heard occasionally.
The enemy's abnormal behavior quickly made Kucha alert.
Could it be that the enemy is really going to start attacking?
"kill!"
“Kill!”
"Go in and kill them..."
Just as Kucha was running to the top of the city wall, there was a sudden roar from outside.
The deafening shouts of killing made Kucha shudder suddenly.
Damn it!
The enemy isn't really going to attack, is it?
Soon, Kucha arrived at the top of the city.
"General, it seems the enemy is really going to attack!"
The deputy general walked quickly towards Kucha and asked, "Should we mobilize the people who are resting in the north of the city?"
"No hurry, let's wait and see!"
Kucha shook his head and said, "I don't think the enemy can attack now! If the enemy really wants to attack, there won't be only these sounds..."
The sound of thousands or tens of thousands of people running is definitely not small.
If the enemy sends out a large number of cavalry and the horses run, you can feel the ground shaking even if you are standing on the city wall.
The deputy general reacted, "General, do you mean this is a new trick of the enemy?"
“It should be!”
Kucha nodded slightly, and then said worriedly: "However, according to this situation, the enemy should also launch an attack in the next few days..."
The enemy clearly wanted to paralyze them in this way first.
By the time they get used to the enemy's shouts and cries and have let down their guard, the enemy will launch a surprise attack, aided by clever tactics.
This situation is estimated to last about three to five days.
Listening to Kucha's analysis, the deputy general nodded in agreement, and then sighed heavily: "I don't know how the negotiation between His Highness and Doilung Langri went. It would be great if His Highness could bring reinforcements..."
Kucha looked sideways at the deputy general and said, "Do you think that with our 30,000-strong army, we can't defend Turtle's Back?"
The deputy general paused for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "Logically speaking, we are enough to defend Turtleback City, but our opponent is the undefeated Yun Zheng..."
More than 30,000 troops defended the city.
Moreover, the terrain around Turtleback City is extremely dangerous.
Under normal circumstances, even an army of 100,000 might not be able to capture Turtleback City.
But as long as Yun Zheng appears, we can't treat it under normal circumstances.
He is not called the best general in the world for nothing!
He would never dare to say these words in front of Lou Yi.
I could only take advantage of Lou Yi's absence to speak my mind to Kucha.
Looking at the deputy general with a worried look on his face, Kucha also sighed, and then raised his hand to pat the deputy general on the shoulder, "Yun Zheng is indeed terrifying, but he is not a god after all! As long as he holds on, it won't be that easy for him to break through Turtleback City!"
"If Yun Zheng attacks forcefully, I'm not afraid." The deputy general frowned, "I'm worried about Yun Zheng's conspiracy! This man's tactics are unpredictable, and no one knows how he will break into the city..."
Kucha was speechless, then he also smiled bitterly.
yes!
They hoped that Yun Zheng would attack forcefully.
But Yun Zheng is unlikely to attack by force.
Yun Zheng has led his troops here for such a long time. If he wanted to attack by force, he probably would not have waited until now.
Yun Zheng has been hesitant to attack the turtle's back by force, and now he is using these little tricks. In all likelihood, he is preparing for his plan to break into the city.
I'm not afraid of a violent attack, I'm afraid of a clever attack!
However, he couldn't guess how Yun Zheng would outsmart the turtle.
It's really uncomfortable to have no idea what the enemy's next move will be.
He seems relaxed, but in fact he is under tremendous pressure every day.
Just as the two men were frowning, the enemy's shouting and killing gradually stopped.
As expected, the enemy did not rush forward.
"See, this is Yun Zheng's trick."
Kucha stared at the darkness in the distance. "If we really transfer the soldiers from the north of the city over here just because of the shouting and killing, we will fall into Yun Zheng's strategy of tiring the enemy again."
"The general is wise!"
The deputy general also looked towards the darkness in the distance, "I guess the enemy will do the same thing again soon?"
"Of course!"
Kucha looked confident and ordered, "If you can rest, then rest for a while! Even if Yun Zheng wants to attack, he won't attack today or tomorrow! Don't be too nervous."
The deputy general nodded slightly, but the worry on his face did not diminish in the slightest.
Time passes by every second.
Just as Kucha and the others thought, the enemy did not make any big moves tonight, but every hour or so, they would shout and scream, creating a sense of urgency for them.
Kucha could neither leave the city to meet the enemy nor make the enemy shut up, so he could only let them do whatever they wanted.
Before I knew it, it was almost dawn.
Seeing that the time had come, Yun Zheng immediately ordered You Jiu to lead ten people to approach the enemy's city gate.
Except for You Jiu, all ten people were carrying heavy shields.
The fire from the enemy's city wall could only illuminate an area about ten feet away from the city wall. It only took a few breaths to rush to the enemy's city gate and blow it open.
The eleven men quietly moved towards the enemy's city gate.
It was not until they were almost within the range illuminated by the fire that You Jiu growled, "Let's go!"
Following You Jiu's low shout, ten people immediately held up heavy shields, protecting You Jiu who was holding the explosive pack as he rushed towards the city gate.
They were all very good at martial arts, and it was not until they rushed to within three meters of the city wall that the enemy troops on the wall noticed their shadows.
"Enemy attack!"
"Enemy attack!"
The two soldiers who first discovered their figures immediately shouted loudly.
Hearing their shouts, the others hurriedly looked down at the city.
In the time it took to react, You Jiu and his men had already rushed to the city gate.
You Jiu did not dare to delay and immediately placed the explosive pack at the bottom of the city gate and quickly took out the fire starter.
“Swoosh…”
A barrage of arrows came at them, but because of the angle, many of them didn't even hit their shields.
“Ding ding ding…”
At the same time, the enemy also rang the early warning bell on the city wall.
“Go!”
As the explosive pack was ignited, You Jiu did not dare to delay at all and quickly called on the ten people to retreat.
Ten people raised their shields to protect You Jiu firmly.
As they retreated, arrows rained down on them, and soldiers picked up stones and lit kerosene cans and threw them down.
Bang!
A stone weighing twenty or thirty pounds hit the shield. The person holding the shield groaned, but still held up the shield with force.
Then, a burning kerosene tank fell.
“Pah…”
The kerosene tank broke into pieces and flames immediately spread, and the clothes of the two shield-bearing men were set on fire by the kerosene.
"boom!"
Just when they had retreated about ten feet, a deafening roar suddenly came from behind them...
