A shock in one night

In the evening of Liaodong, the golden crows sank westward, and the last bit of afterglow had already faded. The cold wind blew, making the earth warmed by the white sun immediately blew cold and hard.

The 20,000 Liao people's front army also rushed into the new city before dark. As soon as they entered the city, the soldiers and generals immediately occupied the gates of the four cities, closed the gates, pulled the suspension bridge, and there were archers wandering on the other end.

The whole city was empty, and Yizhi Wude directly placed his troops in the large military camp in the north of the city. The military camp here could accommodate more than 30,000 people and had ready-made barracks.

A solid three-entry yard in the military camp in the north of the city was the General's Mansion when the Sui army was stationed in Xincheng. Now, the generals such as Yizhi Wude naturally occupied it without hesitation. As soon as they were settled, a patrol guest came to report that a large number of animal corpses were put into all the wells in the city, and all the wells were contaminated. Not only that, after inspection, the well water also contained toxins. Now, even if the corpses of the animal were salvaged, they were probably no longer drunk.

Yizhi Wude smiled proudly, "It seems that this new city is a trap set by the Sui army for us, but fortunately, I was aware of it and saw through their conspiracy and ghost plans. I passed on this general order that all soldiers were not allowed to drink the well water in the city, and asked the soldiers to seal all the wells. In addition, we immediately arranged people to go out of the city to fetch water to the Xiaoliao River. The Sui army could poison the wells in the new city. Don't we know how to fetch water from the Xiaoliao River? If they have the ability, they poison the Xiaoliao River, which is their ability."

The generals hurriedly laughed and praised Yizhi for his use of troops as if he was a god, and he was completely missed.

Etsu smiled and said, "Beware of the guards these days and nights, and you are restless all nights. Now you have finally entered the new city. With this strong new city fortress, we can finally have a good sleep. General Gao Guang is responsible for the city gate tonight, and the others can have a good sleep."

On that day, the entire army killed the cows and slaughtered the sects and had a full meal. Except for the 5,000 people who were left with a highlight, everyone else went to bed early. From Wugu City to now, the front army had been marching all the way for almost a month.

He slept all the way and was attacked at night in the Daliang River, especially the evil ghost cavalry and the appearance of the sky thunder. These Liao people's front troops had already scared into frightened birds. The wind and cranes were all the soldiers along the way, and they had never had a stable sleep for a day, for fear that they would blow the evil ghost knights to death with sky thunder in the middle of the night.

The Liao people who hadn't slept well for a long time, after eating and singing, mostly fell asleep as soon as they touched the bed, and made sounds one by one.

Above the city of the new city, Gao Guang and several confidants were huddling in the city gate tower to drink. On this night when water turned into ice, only wine could warm their cold bodies.

"General, the Yizhi Wude is obviously not able to get along with you, Lord. It must be because you contradicted him today and did not give him face." A master of the banner said.

"What is Yizhi? It's just because Yizhi Wende is his brother, so he dares to be so arrogant. If it weren't for the general today, the whole army would still drink the northwest wind outside the city. Now he has entered the city, but he actually sent us to defend the city, but he himself slept soundly."

These people used to be Gao Jianwu's confidant generals and officers. When Gao Jianwu unified the front army, they were definitely the best treated in the army. On this cold night, when will it be their turn to stand guard and keep watch?

Gao Guang raised his head and poured a big mouthful of strong wine into his throat, burning like a fire. And there was also a fire burning in his heart. The way of Yizhi Wude had touched the bottom line in his heart, and there was no room for relief between the two.

The wind blew, but it made him even more annoyed. He didn't know when the prince would come back to command the troops, so that he would no longer have to be so angry with the idiot Wude of Yizhi.

"Clang clang clang clang clang..." A sudden sound of gongs and drums sounded in the dark night, followed by waves of shouts and killing sounds. A fire dragon suddenly lit up in the distance in the night.

"Enemy attack!"

Gao Guang jumped up suddenly, picked up the guy, and suddenly hit the bronze bell that called the police on the city tower and started to work hard.

"Do!Do!Do!"

A tight alarm bell rang out on the city tower and spread to the whole city from afar. For a moment, the sound of alarm bells echoed everywhere in the new city.

The soldiers and horses in the city who were sleeping were awakened. In the dark night, everyone was panicked, and some people ran out before they even had their clothes were neatly worn.

Under the leadership of the officers, teams of soldiers gathered quickly, wielding weapons, and constantly running towards the four gates.

"What's going on?"

Above the West City Gate, Yizhi Wende had a disheveled hair and was covered in war armor. He didn't even have time to tie his hair up, so he ran up. As soon as he saw the highlight, he hurriedly asked.

Gao Guang reached out to the outside of the city, and Wude of Yizhi looked along. He saw that when it started, countless torches were ignited more than ten miles outside the west gate, and they continued to come here. Moreover, in the big fire, countless flags were vaguely waving, and bursts of footsteps were heard from there.

What is even more shocking is that from those sounds, at least hundreds of war drums were already ringing.

Wude Yizhi suddenly turned pale. Why did the detectives sent out before not detecting any information? Where did the Sui army suddenly appear come from? Could it be that it fell from the sky?

Above the city, all the generals looked gloomy, and a sound of footsteps rang out. A soldier rushed to the city and reported loudly, "Report to the general, countless torches appeared dozens of miles north of the new city."

"Report! Report to the general, countless torches appeared on the east side of the new city. In the fire, countless Sui army flags can be seen."

Eji Wende hurriedly asked, "Does anyone recognize from those flags?"

"Someone saw a huge flag with the words "Chen, the Grand Marshal of the Liaodong Camp"

"The Grand Marshal Chen of Liaodong Camp is the banner of the Sui general Chen Pojun. Why did he come? It's over, it's over. It seems that we have fallen into the Sui army's plan."

Gao Guang said, "If the Sui army really designed it, why did we leave an empty city before and let us wait to enter the city? In this way, we have a new city to guard. Isn't it better to camp in the wild?"

Yizhi Wende said angrily, "What do you know? If we have not entered the city, then the defense must be strict and careful. Once the Sui army attacks, we will find out that we can lead the army and retreat. But leave an empty city for us, and after we enter the city, we will inevitably be lazy. In this way, they can easily surround us. Although we have a new city to defend, there is no way out. Just with our 20,000 people, how can we defend it? I regretted that I believed you. If I insisted on not entering the city, there would be no such thing."

Sure enough, after a while, several more commanders came up to report that the Sui army was found in the east and south, and countless torches were lit, and I don’t know how many people came.

"General, what should we do now?"

"What else can I do? Of course, I am sticking to wait for help. As long as I stay for two days, the army will arrive the night after tomorrow." Wude of Yizhi said helplessly.

All 20,000 soldiers and horses were called to the four cities and prepared to defend to the death. Unfortunately, after waiting for most of the day, I didn't see any signs of Sui Jin's attack. Even gradually, the torches were moving backwards, turning one hillside together, and disappeared without a shadow.

It came quickly and went quickly. It took only more than an hour. Apart from the new city, except for the whistling north wind and the dark night when you couldn't see your fingers, there was no movement. The Liao generals looked at each other, not sure why.

The generals stood at the top of the city and held on for more than an hour. Seeing that there was no movement, Yizhi Wude left half of the people to defend the city, and the remaining half were arranged to go back and rest. If the Sui army really wanted to attack the city, then there would be two days before the army could arrive. At this time, they could only arrange the soldiers to take turns to defend the city. Otherwise, if they all defended the city together, they would not be able to hold on for two days and two nights.

But the Sui army seemed to be doing the right thing. Once his troops retreated to the barracks and had not slept for an hour, countless torches outside the city would inevitably ignite again and shout to the sky. All the Liao army who had just fallen asleep hurriedly got up and rushed to the city to prepare for the war.

But it was still the same as last time. When they arrived, the Sui army was only far away and refused to come. After confronting each other for more than an hour, they retreated back to the mountain as last time and disappeared.

"This must be the exhausted plan of the Sui army, so that our army cannot rest. If we harass it for a night, the Sui army will come to attack the city tomorrow. I will pass on my order, leaving half of the troops to continue to defend the city, and the other troops will go back to the camp to sleep. If the Sui army is impatient again, as long as it does not approach the city wall, it is unnecessary to pay attention to the notice." After Yizhi Wude announced an order to the generals, he brought his troops back to the camp again.

However, after returning to the camp, he added another order, "All the resting soldiers will be dressed in clothes and armor. As long as you order it, you will surely rush to the city to prepare for battle as soon as possible."

Back to the warm bed, Yizhi Wude cursed the Sui army a few words, and the armor was no longer untied. He just wrapped his fur and fell asleep. As expected, as he expected, the Sui army appeared again every more than half an hour, and then disappeared after more than half an hour. After this two repeated, it was already three minutes later at night.

It was about to be dawn for another hour. All the soldiers guarding the city had already believed in the judgment of Yizhi's martial virtues. This Sui army was coming to harass them and they were not allowed to rest. It is estimated that after dawn, the Sui army would officially launch an attack. With such an idea, the soldiers defending the city relaxed, and everyone was numbing their spirits and preparing to face the Sui army's siege after dawn!
