Time is passing.
Pan Liangyong received a report that the noise underground in the north city had completely subsided and no sound could be heard.
The Qinghe army's siege was even more perfunctory.
Pan Liangyong even felt that the other party looked down on him.
Hey, which city could be taken down by such an attack intensity?
Is Lin Hai really your lord? Why are you even more naive than before after he arrived?
Among the two warring parties, the only one who understood nothing was Hong Jiu. He lacked basic military knowledge. Although he had made up for it before setting off, time was limited after all. It was good enough if you could make him distinguish between bows and arrows, crossbows and bed crossbows. It was impossible to make him see the tricks involved. If he had this talent, he would have been promoted long ago.
Of course, Lin Haiben doesn't need to have talent, he just needs eyes and a mouth.
Lin Hai was even more relaxed. He directly called all the officers at the regimental level and above to his command platform, which was the rammed earth platform where his flag stood. Then he asked everyone to take a seat and brought out all the delicious dishes that were originally planned to be served at the celebration banquet after the city was captured, saying that it was an early celebration.
This made Hong Jiu even more confused.
After all, Lin Hai is a man who is reluctant to even put carpet in the coach's tent. It is hard to believe that he likes banquets and extravagant spending.
If all the officers are gathered together for dinner, who will command the battlefield?
Could it be that Lin Hai really doesn’t know how to fight?
Pan Liangyong felt that he was a little too nervous today. He had organized a large number of counterattack forces behind the city wall in vain, and even opened the armory and took out the last reserve of weapons.
It's of no use at all.
With this attack intensity, Jingdong can still hold on for at least ten days!
If I had known earlier, I should have let the soldiers rest in batches to ensure their physical strength.
At the far end of Pan Liangyong's sight, he could clearly see that many soldiers operating catapults left their positions and went to eat at the call of their officers.
Is it almost time for dinner?
They really don't want to give it a try, what if they succeed?
Pan Liangyong even started to feel anxious for Lin Hai.
"Okay, now that we have almost finished eating, those who have attack missions can go to their own units. Those who don't have attack missions can stay here and accompany me to see the last afterglow of Jingdong." Lin Hai said poetically.
Although it was autumn, it was still at least two hours before sunset. However, Lin Hai knew that he still had to leave some time to clean up the battlefield later.
Then Lin Hai took the glass of wine brought by Shi Zhener. He held the glass tightly in his palm, then put it to his mouth, tilted his head back suddenly, drank it all in one gulp, and then threw it hard to the ground.
Pan Liangyong couldn't see Lin Hai's movements clearly from a distance, but he seemed to feel something moving, and something seemed to be pinching his throat tightly. He wanted to speak, but he had no idea what to say.
In the corner of his eye, the Qinghe soldiers who had advanced to the city wall were desperately running out of the goose carts. They would rather endure the arrows from the city wall than go back to the goose carts, and then they were crawling back.
As Lin Hai's wine glass fell, suddenly, the setting sun seemed to stagnate, and the sound of muffled thunder came from underground, then suddenly rose up, drowning out all the chaotic sounds on the battlefield.
Lin Hai, Hong Jiu and the others who were still on the podium felt an inexplicable heat wave, which came roaring and made the flags whirr.
Then, following the direction of Lin Hai's finger, everyone looked closely and saw that the city wall on the north side of Jingdong rose into the air with a buzzing sound like tinnitus, accompanied by huge smoke, and then disintegrated into several sections in the air, and then fell heavily to the ground, raising dust hundreds of feet high.
The entire northern wall of Jingdong, along with everything within a hundred meters inside and outside the wall, disappeared.
Then the vibration finally reached the commander's side. Lin Hai was well prepared and sat down in advance, while the other generals did not make a fool of themselves because they had received a hint and had excellent martial arts and stable lower bodies.
The only one who knew nothing, was frightened silly and then knocked to the ground was Hong Jiu.
But no one laughed at him.
Because everyone saw that Hong Jiu, who was frightened to the point of incontinence and collapsed into a ball, still relied on his last bit of strength to keep his eyes fixed in the direction of Jingdong. He wanted to bring back everything he could see.
When a gust of natural wind blew, everyone's hearing gradually returned to normal, and the soldiers gradually recovered under the command of the officers. Although there was still chaos in some places, at least everyone was still rational. They knew that since the attack was in the direction of Jingdong, it must have been launched from their side, so they didn't need to be too afraid.
"Beat the drums, march in all directions!" Lin Hai tried to stand up, but found his legs a little weak, so he sat on a chair and issued his most clear military order today.
