"Is Qing Jing and Gongsun Xu crazy? It seems like they are preparing to attack the city overnight! " He stopped and stood on the western wall of the city, seeing that the enemy who was attacking the city had lit all the torches, without showing any signs of retreating back to the camp, he could not help but to ask Zhang Yuan.

At this moment, the army didn't have the ability to fight in the night. If they didn't take advantage of the battlefield, they would be attacking the city that very night, and they wouldn't be able to understand why their opponents were so impatient.

"Could it be that Gongsun Xu has clashed with the Single Meridian, or that the Single Meridian could not suppress Gongsun Xu, and thus decided to continue the night attack?"

"Hmm? It's very possible! " "A few days ago, a spy hidden in the Youzhou came over to report that Gongsun Zan's subordinates were not satisfied with him handing over all of the elites of the Changli County to Gongsun Xu. They looked down on the White Horse Camp which was made up of the Changli soldiers. Could it be that the Meridian is one of them? "

Zhang Yuan pointed in the south direction of the city: "I don't know if Your Majesty has noticed, but Elder has been supervising the battle since morning, and it only appeared for a while in the afternoon before disappearing."

"Indeed! It seems like my guess about Teacher Zhang is correct. This should be the case. " Collapse heavily nodded, waved his hand towards outside of the city: "Alright, since Gongsun Xu wants to send someone to die, how can I not tell him? Nan Lou! "

"Your Majesty, please give the order!" Nan Lou pounded his left chest, and the dried blood on his armor splattered all over.

"I will leave the west side of the city to you. Go and transfer half of the arrows stored in the palace over, you absolutely cannot let a Chinese rush up the city wall during the night!"

"As long as there are enough arrows, there will be no problem in my defense!" Nan Lou laughed out loud, "Rest assured Great King, I will teach them how to kill every single one of them!"

"This King is very confident in you!" Mr. Zhang, follow me to the south of the city to take a look. "Looks like I'll be able to sleep well tonight."

"Here!" Great King, do you want to intensify the defense of the other two sides? "

Collapsing Mountain looked towards the northern mountain peak, he shook his head and laughed: "No need, you should know the location of the northern part of the city. Last night, this king had specially added dozens of bonfires, so no matter how foolish Gongsun Xu is, he wouldn't attack from there right? If he really dared to send someone down from the mountain, it would be a hard to come by prey. As for the east side, that was even more impossible! "Let's go."

"Your Majesty is right, I am overthinking it." Zhang Yuan withdrew his gaze from the mountain range north of the city and quickly descended the city wall following Crash.

Outside the city, the White Horse Camp began attacking the city once again. With the help of numerous torches, they became even more powerful.

A condescending sneer flashed past Nan Lou's lips, and he nocked an arrow at the city walls.

Inside the big tent in White Horse Camp, Gongsun Xu rubbed his hands above the brazier and asked Gongsun Yi who had just come in: "Up until now, how are the casualties?"

"Over three thousand people died, and over two thousand were severely injured."

Zhao Yun, Yan Rou and Kurna were sitting around, and upon hearing this number, they frowned. In just half a day, the White Horse Camp had already suffered 30% of the casualties!

"What is Yang Hong doing?" Gongsun Xu smashed his fist on the table and shouted: All feints and attacks have resulted in the death of so many people, how dare you!

"Reporting to young master, most of the stone-throwing cart s are unable to be used, and after the sky turns dark, the archers cannot provide accurate cover. Furthermore, General Yang Hong is worried that his fake attack was seen through by the enemy and has been strengthening his offense, so he suffered heavy casualties."

"Get Yang Hong to withdraw and rest up, it's Wang Wei's turn! Transfer another thirty thousand arrows to Wang Wei, tell him one more thing, before the city breaks, shoot out all thirty thousand arrows!

"Here!"

Just as Gongsun Yi went out, he heard footsteps from outside, and then he opened the tent door and walked in.

"General!" Everyone stood up and saluted.

"Sit!" Everyone sat down to talk. Your subject does not need to give way, this old man will sit here. " He rejected the seat of honor given by Gongsun Xu and casually found a seat beside the brazier.

"General!" Gongsun Xu looked at Dan Zai and cupped his hands: "Everything has been prepared. This general was just about to invite the general over, I didn't expect that the general would already have arrived. "Please advise me, General."

He then laughed out loud and said, "This old man has said that I am only here to take a look. I will give the order, so there is no need to consider this old man."

"In that case, I have overstepped my authority." Gongsun Xu smiled apologetically, and shouted towards outside the tent: "Have Ku Le come to see me."

After a while, Ku Le gasped for breath as he entered the big tent.

Gongsun Xu asked: How much sheepskin clothes did you make?

Ku Le bowed and said, "A thousand. "It's just that the time was short and the stitching wasn't very strong."

"As you said, the moat is not wide, so it is not a big problem. Can you wear it anytime? "

"Yes, I had frozen the sheepskin into an ice cube and purposely built it into a tent with a big fire in it. I guarantee that it will be ready for use at any time."

Gongsun Xu nodded in satisfaction: "Very good, if you win this battle, I will remember your first merit. Go back and take a good look at those sheepskin clothes, and then we'll start moving. "

"This lowly general bids his farewell."

Gongsun Xu's gaze moved to Kurna and asked: "Are the King's soldiers ready?"

Kurna rubbed his fists together and replied, "Don't worry, Young Marquis. As long as the city gates open, I guarantee that we can seize the city. None of the enemies can even think of escaping!"

"There's no need to be like this. Fighting against a trapped beast will result in many more casualties." Gongsun Xu shook his head: "After the city breaks, let go of the east gate and let them escape that way. It won't be too late to chase them down after dawn."

Kurna hesitated for a moment, before nodding his head and agreeing.

"Your Majesty, please go back and rest. When the time comes, we will send someone to invite you."

"Alright, I will take my leave first." Kurna bowed to the Single Classic and left the account.

Suquan stared at Kurna's back as he walked out, and asked with a light smile: "Does your son want Collapse to flee west of Liaoning Province?"

"General's eyes are sharp like torches!" Gongsun Xu sighed: "If they were to attack Wu Yan, it would definitely attract Gongsun Du's attention and hostility. If they forced him into a corner, Wu Yan would very likely rely on Gongsun Du. It would be better to just let them run away, let them find a chance to fight back, and wait for the fight to break out. "

I guess this son of mine has also included Kurna, right? As long as Kurna slaughtered his way into the city tonight, there would be no reconciliation between Wuhuan of Liaodong s! Hehe, in the future, Kurna can only be more loyal, otherwise, once my Youzhou abandons him, he will die without a burial ground! "

"We can't hide anything from the old general!" Gongsun Xu gave a thumbs up.

"I'm old, useless!" Suo Jing smiled proudly and asked, "Who led the troops to attack? How many people are you planning to take with you? "

Gongsun Xu pointed to Zhao Yun and Yan Rou: "The two of them plus Ku Le, have brought a total of 800 people."

"Zi Long and Zi Hu are brave and unparalleled, they are indeed the same person." He praised simply, and asked doubtfully: "Only, why did you include Ku Le in order to make plans for the future?"

"The old general is right." Gongsun Xu smiled and nodded, then briefly explained the matter of Kurna wanting to make Ku Le as his successor, and then reneging on the idea of raising his own biological son, Ku Si.

"So that's how it is!" Solely through a sudden realization, he sighed and said, "My people, this old man has said something disrespectful. Your future achievements will definitely surpass that of the Marquis!"

Gongsun Xu laughed but did not reply. In the future, he would definitely be unhappy with Gongsun Zan, he would take things one step at a time. No matter what, it was a good thing that an old general like the Sutra of the Meridian could take the initiative to show goodwill.

Instead, he started a conversation and chatted with Gongsun Xu, waiting for the time to come.

The sounds of battle never stopped in the dark night. Time seemed to pass by very slowly. Zi's time finally arrived in a leisurely manner.

At this moment, be it attacking or defending, both of them were physically and mentally exhausted. All they could do was listen to orders and attack. Wang Wei had already collapsed on the ground, his hands were in extreme pain. Let alone shooting arrows, it was even difficult to lift his bow. Most of his several thousand archers did the same thing, continuously shooting out thirty thousand arrows. Even if they were distributed among everyone, there were only ten or so. However, it was still very difficult for these soldiers who had not been meticulously trained.

On top of the city walls, Nan Lou leaned against the cold wall and panted heavily, to the point where he couldn't even lift a single finger. At first, they would even curse and dodge, but now, unless they were shot directly by the arrow, very few people were willing to waste their energy to dodge.

'If the enemy attacks the city as fiercely as they did during the day, we won't be able to hold on. Even if he managed to hold on to it today, what about tomorrow? What about the day after tomorrow? ' Nan Lou looked at the pitch black night sky, and his heart suddenly felt a little dejected.

Suddenly, the sound of golden drums could be heard outside the city. The number of cheers suddenly skyrocketed.

Nan Lou quickly sat up and looked through the city walls to see the enemy troops rushing towards him like floodwaters.

"F * ck, it's here again!" Brothers, get ready to fight! "

At the same time, the monoliths in the south of the city also led their troops to launch a fierce attack on the city walls. This attack was different from before. The attack teams from the west and south of the city had pushed up all the siege equipment they could use. Moreover, the number of supervising troops had increased by several times.

The moment the attacking and defending sides made contact, Nan Lou was immediately frightened by the fearless aura of the opponent, and immediately sent people to Ta Dun to request for reinforcements.

"Let's go, I wish you all a victorious return here!" Under the deafening roars of the drums, Gongsun Xu gave the order to attack.

Zhao Yun, Yan Rou and Ku Le brought 800 elite soldiers carrying large bags and quietly left the camp. Under the cover of the pitch black night, they bypassed the moat and headed north, quickly disappearing into the darkness.
