As time gradually approached the fourth hour, the night became deeper, and the Sui army camp was still pitch black, as if all the soldiers were already asleep in the night.

Half an hour ago, I had just changed shifts when I was on duty at the city wall. Due to the high-intensity defense for several consecutive days, most of the defenders were exhausted. Many soldiers even found a place to wrap their blankets and sleep secretly. At this time, the defense on the city wall had reached its weakest moment.

County Lord Fei, Chen Haishi, did not dare to slackew at all. Although he was also very tired, he still forced himself to ride a horse to patrol the city.

"What's going on over there?"

Chen Haishi pointed to a row of black shadows under the battlements with a horse whip. It was obvious that dozens of people were sleeping wrapped in blankets. He couldn't help but be furious and shouted: "Get me a mess of stick!"

Dozens of personal soldiers rushed up with military sticks in their hands and beaten them up. The sleeping soldiers were awakened one by one. They stood up in fear and lowered their heads one by one to speak. Chen Haishi became more angry and shouted: "The lieutenant on duty here! No! Wrong! Who?"

A lieutenant rushed over and saluted tremblingly, "See General with a humble position!"

Chen Haishi became more angry and waved his horse whip, "Drag it down and hit a hundred military sticks!"

Several soldiers dragged the captain down, raised wooden sticks and beat him. After a moment, he made him scream. Chen Haishi's anger calmed down and ordered: "Transfer my order, who dares to indulge the soldiers to slack off again, and will definitely kill him!"

There was silence all around, and only the screams of the execution officer were heard. Chen Haishi snorted heavily and continued to inspect. At this time, a military officer whispered: "The soldiers were very tired after several days of high-intensity defense, just because they were afraid that they would be too tight and they would have no energy when they were in real war."

Chen Haishi sighed. "We guard Fei County like a wall. The only chance for the Sui army was at night. I was afraid of being lazy at night, so I gave the Sui army an opportunity to take advantage of it. It would be too late to regret it at that time."

"General's great insight!" The followers around him admired Chen Haishi's insight.

Chen Haishi shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Zhang Xuan is a good at using tricks. Unless he had no choice, he would never forcefully attack the city. Besides, he only had five thousand troops, so how could he be able to capture Feixian County without tricks? So we must be extremely cautious and not careless at all."

Everyone was convinced and no longer felt that his severity was unnecessary.

Chen Haishi's strict orders have been conveyed, and the lieutenants around the city checked their defense zones one after another, and did not allow soldiers to slack off to sleep. They were especially afraid that the main general would check in their defense zones.

The lieutenant in charge of the North City Tower was Qian, and he was also a man who liked to drink and gambling. He was originally hiding to sleep, but when he heard the military orders coming, he had to get up and patrol his defense zone.

When he walked to the suspension bridge computer room, he saw four soldiers standing straight at the door of the computer room. Captain Qian saw that they were a little unfamiliar and were not his subordinates. He couldn't help but ask strangely: "Who are you? Where are Yang Laogen and the others?"

"Report to the lieutenant, we are brothers from the Sixth Battalion. Someone paid for us to guard here."

A soldier handed his bamboo card to Captain Qian. Captain Qian immediately understood that his subordinates actually paid for them to pay for their duty. He cursed in his heart: "A bunch of bastards!"

Just then, a soldier rushed to report, "Captain Captain General Chen is here!"

Captain Qian was startled and quickly returned the bamboo card to them, whispering to the four people: "Don't say anything, don't let it go, do you understand?"

"I understand!"

Captain Qian ran out to greet Chen Haishi. The four of them wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads and knocked on the door of the computer room. Zhao Ying, the scout who was hiding behind the door in the room, continued to throw several bodies into the wall from the gap, and wiped off the blood.

They were really lucky. If Captain Qian looked carefully just now, the door would be locked. If he opened the door and checked, he would immediately find several corpses lying in the room, and everything would be exposed.

These five people were the inner responders who were sunglasses on the top of the city. Since the moat was too wide, it was not easy to climb the wall to attack the city. The best way was to control the city gate and suspension bridge.

After the shift, the five people did not go down to the city, but continued to stay on the top of the city. They looked for an opportunity to kill several soldiers guarding the computer room and replace them in the computer room. Just now, Captain Qian suddenly came to check and they were almost exposed.

"Lock the door!" The leader Zhao Ying hid his body, walked out of it, and whispered to the other people.

The five people locked the iron door with a large chain lock. There were two keys in total, one in their hands and the other in the hands of the lieutenant on duty. The keys will be handed over when changing shifts.

At this time, the chief general Chen Haishi quickly walked into the city tower accompanied by the captain Qian. The chief general looked very nervous. Once the chief general discovered that his soldiers were spending money to find someone to pay for the duty, he would not be able to take advantage of the situation. Fortunately, the light in the city tower was very dim and he could not see the expression on the face of the captain Qian.

Fei County is a big county with four city gates and four city towers. The computer room in each city tower is the hub and important place to control the city gate and suspension bridge. There must be no mistakes. Chen Haishi also attaches great importance to it, so he will definitely come to inspect.

Five soldiers stood at the door of the computer room, holding spears in their hands, standing straight, looking very dedicated, without any slackness or sluggishness, which made Chen Haishi very satisfied. He stepped forward and pushed the door. The iron chains roared, and then he realized that there was a lock. He looked inside through the crack of the door and asked again: "Is there anything unusual?"

Captain Qian was afraid that several soldiers would show their losses, so he hurriedly said: "Report to General, there is nothing abnormal!"

Chen Haishi nodded and waved his hand, "Let's go!"

He walked out of the city tower and continued to patrol along the city wall surrounded by a large group of men. When he watched the main general walk away, Captain Qian breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and rushed back to the city tower and scolded: "You bastards, go and find Yang Laogen and the others!"

At this moment, the sound of "bang!bang!" suddenly came from the city. The sound was crisp and deafening. It was very far away on the quiet night, and it was also heard clearly on the top of the city.

This is the signal of taking action. The appointment time has come. Several scouts looked at each other. One scout suddenly covered Captain Qian's mouth from behind. Zhao Ying pulled out a sharp dagger and stabbed him into his heart with a knife. Captain Qian's eyes suddenly widened. He finally realized that he had been fooled until he died.

Everyone unlocked the lock, dragged Captain Qian's body into the room, locked the door from inside, and the five people began to push the winch. The winch rattled, and the huge suspension bridge began to lower down little by little.

A crisp sound in the city also alarmed the main general Chen Haishi who was patrolling the city wall. He looked into the city and saw a faint light of fire, and thick smoke rose, "General, it seems that the Ninghai Restaurant has caught fire!" A soldier shouted at the fire in the distance.

Chen Haishi was secretly surprised. Ninghai Restaurant was his property, and he devoted all his savings to this restaurant. He immediately turned his head and returned to the North City Gate.

But many things were so wrong. At this time, they were less than three meters away from the suspension bridge, but no one noticed that the suspension bridge was slowly descending. Instead, they were attracted by the flames and sounds in the city. Chen Haishi rushed down the city directly along the corridor next to the north city gate and ran towards the flames in the city.

At this time, the soldiers on the city wall were attracted by the fire in the city, and they ran to the female wall on the side of the city to watch the fun and talked a lot. Ninghai Restaurant is the largest restaurant in Fei County and an important architectural symbol of Fei County. It has always been a prosperous business. Almost every soldier has eaten in it. Its fire makes everyone feel deeply regretful.

Just as the fire in Ninghai Restaurant attracted most people's attention, Zhang Xuan led 5,000 troops to appear in a wheat field only a hundred steps away from the North City Gate. The night covered their figures. Zhang Xuan looked at the suspension bridge with anticipation and slowly lowered. He turned around and shouted in a low voice: "Prepare to hit the city ram!"

Hundreds of soldiers held a thick hammer to hit the city. This was their backup plan. Once Shen Guang and his team failed to open the city, they would directly use the hammer to hit the city gate and break into the city gate.

At this moment, a soldier on the top of the city accidentally discovered that the suspension bridge had been laid flat on the moat, and shouted in shock, "How did the suspension bridge go down!"

The soldiers ran back and looked down, all wondering. They were just ordinary soldiers and had no say in this major change. Maybe it was the general's order. At this time, a captain also saw the suspension bridge down, and he suddenly realized, "No! I'm ringing the alarm!"

The alarm bell of "Dang!Dang!Dang!" on the city wall sounded. Zhang Xuan heard the alarm bell and immediately shouted loudly: "Crash the city rail, shield guards, archers shoot in the city!"

Hundreds of soldiers hugged the giant wood and ran towards the city gate, and two hundred other soldiers raised their shields to protect the soldiers on both sides of the giant wood.

Three thousand soldiers rushed up with bows and arrows in their hands, rushed to the moat and shot arrows northward at the city wall. The dense arrows shot towards the city wall, and the war finally began. (To be continued...)
