The night is dark and spring is always there, but the wind and sand at night are still quite large.

Hezhou City has long implemented a curfew, and soldiers guarding the city guards day and night, while the people in the city will close their doors and doors, streets and alleys, and prohibit people from commuting. This is to prevent Tianshan from sending spies to the city to spy, and to prevent spies from causing storms in the city.

The soldiers of Hezhou City all knew that Han Ying was the lord of the city, but not many people knew that it was Pei Ji who was the one who actually led the war, while Huang Yutan was mainly responsible for the logistics in the city.

The soldiers strictly guarded the gates of Hezhou City, while Huang Yutan organized a young and strong man in the city to serve as a logistics team to transport supplies to all places at all times. Long before the Tianshan Army sent troops, Hezhou City made sufficient preparations and stored a large amount of materials in the city. In addition to food, grass, clear water, weapons and other necessities, these materials also had a large amount of gravel rolling wood to prepare for defense warfare.

Although Han Ying cut off his ears and expelled him, he did not feel much hope in the defense of Hezhou, but he would never show such thoughts on his face.

Chu Huan trusted him very much and handed over Hezhou to him. The soldier died as a confidant. As a soldier, for Han Ying, even though he knew that his opponent was strong, he still had to draw his sword.

He knew very well that as soon as the war started, countless casualties were killed or injured, and today's life was still alive. After the station, I was afraid that many people would never see each other again.

His greatest comfort came from Pei Ji. Although he was weak and had a strong opponent, he had many dangers, but since Pei Ji led his troops, he had arranged in an orderly manner. From Pei Ji's face, he could only see the calmness that penetrated his bones. It was an extreme calmness and calmness. Pei Ji's emotions always made Han Ying feel a sense of hope.

The night was dark. According to Pei Ji's instructions, before the war started, except for the rotating generals and soldiers, other soldiers must ensure sufficient rest. Everyone knows that if they really want to fight, they may not have time to rest.

Although Han Ying was a general defending the city, he also followed Pei Ji's instructions and rested early.

The night was quiet, and two figures walked on the roof with their hands and feet, quietly like raccoon cats. When they arrived at Han Ying's room, one of them bent down on the roof, quietly took a piece of tiles, looked down at the house from a high point, and was silence like death in the house. Han Ying was vaguely seen rolling in the bedding, with her armor and weapons placed beside the bed, obviously sleeping in a deep sleep.

The two of them looked at each other, nodded, then took a light step to the edge of the eaves, and their bodies flashed, hanging upside down under the eaves like two bats.

One man took out the weak cicada's knife from his arms, carefully inserted it into the crack of the window, quietly opened the window bolt, and then flashed into the house like two ghosts, one in front and one behind.

There was no light in the house, and it was extremely dim. One person was guarding the window, while the other person reached the bed with a light hand and foot. He held a cold dagger in his hand and saw the raised bedding. He was a real murderer. Even if he couldn't see the body inside the bedding, he could accurately judge the other party's vitals.

He took the initiative cleanly without any dragging, and the dagger that cuts iron like mud was inserted into the bedding.

When the dagger was inserted, the man immediately changed color and his body looked like a ghost. He quickly retreated and said in a deep voice: "No, there is no one below!" When the dagger was inserted into the bedding, he could of course feel whether the dagger had penetrated into his body.

The other person also suddenly changed color and immediately said: "Get away!"

The two of them climbed out of the window. Before they stood firm, they heard the continuous sound of "swooshing and swishing". Both of them were shocked, swinging their swords and blocking the arrows, and the flames suddenly lit up, and they heard footsteps from all directions.

The two of them reacted very quickly. They had already seen a group of soldiers swarming in outside the courtyard gate. They were light in shape, and they inserted their weapons into the wall, leveraged their power to rise up, and were in mid-air, and had not yet climbed up to the roof. Among the arrows, two figures fell from mid-air almost at the same time, but were shot by random arrows.

One person was shot into the vital point by arrows and died immediately. The other person was still struggling on the ground and wanted to get up. Before he could get up, several soldiers with tiger backs and bear waists rushed forward and held the person down.

In the fire, Han Ying, dressed in casual clothes, walked quickly and reached out to pinch the assassin's jaw. Before he could speak, he saw that the assassin was bleeding from his orifices and was already dead. He obviously had no hope of running away and committed suicide by taking poison.

Han Ying frowned, heard the footsteps behind him, and turned around, but saw Pei Ji slowly coming over. Pei Ji was limping when he was walking before, but he was not fast at this moment. Although he was still a little lame, it was obviously much smoother than before.

Luo Duo gave Chu Huan the Tianshan Snow Lotus as a gift for the wedding, but Chu Huan gave it to Pei Ji. Pei Ji and other medicines were prepared together. After taking it, the meridians that had already been necrotic actually showed signs of dead trees coming to spring, and leg disease had greatly improved.

"Mr. Pei, you are really a clever plan." Han Ying bowed and said, "Zhu Lingyue is indeed insidious and sent someone to assassinate him."

"He has a hall for banishing traitors in his hands, and they are all a group of desperate people, so they will naturally make full use of it." Pei Ji stared at the two corpses.

Han Ying said: "We have been guarding for a few nights and have really guarded the assassin. If Mr. Pei hadn't been prepared for it, I would have probably died at the hands of these assassins."

"Although Zhu Lingyue has strong soldiers, strong horses and many powerful people, and comes with a sure victory, he naturally cannot get it." Pei Ji smiled and said, "General Han is the lord general of Hezhou City. In Zhu Lingyue's view, assassinating General Han will be shaken, and the morale in the city will be depressed, which will be beneficial to his siege...!"

"Mr. Pei, from this point of view, Zhu Lingyue is probably ready to attack the city." Another voice came from behind. It was Huang Yutan, the governor of Hezhou. He slowly stepped forward, "Send envoys first, then assassins, and use both soft and hard skills. This trick failed to work, so he could only attack Hezhou City...!"

Han Ying nodded and said, "Mr. Huang said very well, Mr. Pei, if the assassin did not bring back the news, Zhu Lingyue would definitely know that the assassination failed, and he was afraid that he would attack the city."

"The battle of siege has always been taboo for a long time, so Zhu Lingyue naturally understood this truth." Pei Ji deeply agreed with the two of them, "Since other means are useless, of course, they can only attack the city." After pondering slightly, he said: "General Han, knowing all the generals. Since there are assassins who can come to assassinate the general, there are probably more than these two people in the city, so that everyone can be careful and strengthen their defense."

Han Ying said: "I will send an order to let them be careful."

"In addition, people were sent to strictly protect the granary and water sources in the city. Zhu Lingyue was sinister and cunning and did everything he could. He should beware of their chance to burn the granary and be careful that they would poison the water."

"Sir, don't worry, let's make arrangements for this." Han Ying bowed and then sneered: "Zhu Lingyue wants to take down Hezhou City, and thinks it's easy. When he attacks the city, we want to let him see what it means to be indestructible. If we don't have the city, we will make him lose his troops and generals with just a few trenches."

The rising sun is coming, and it is another good weather.

The sound of trumpets from the West made the defenders of Hezhou City feel tight. The soldiers on the top of the city have already seen the land in the west. Teams of neatly lined up are slowly moving towards Hezhou City. Like dark clouds, they have a strong momentum of Mount Tai pressing the top.

At this time, the soldiers on the city wall finally realized the horror of the Tianshan Army.

Although the Tianshan Army has a large number of people, its formation is extremely neat. Even if it marchs forward, it is still advancing and retreating in an orderly manner. The Tianshan Army's individual combat capabilities may not be the most brave, but their discipline is undoubtedly extremely strict.

The Tianshan Army was like an ant, scattered on the vast land west of Hezhou City. It was not moving fast, but its momentum was indeed amazing. The defenders on the city had already felt a sense of depression in their chests.

The spear is like a forest, the short sword is shining, and the stars are dotted.

At the top of Hezhou city, the archers had moved quickly to the edge of the battlement, with arrows on the bows and crossbows stretched strings. Rows of archers were like hedgehogs, as if they had thorns on their bodies, waiting for the Tianshan Army to approach.

In addition to the archers, crossbows and catapults were also prepared on the front of the city. This catapult was no more than a large catapult. The area at the front of the city was limited, and the catapults were not large in size. The range was within the outermost layer of the trench outside the city. When the trench was dug outside the city, the catapults were first tested with this catapult, and then the distance was calculated before excavating.

Han Ying was dressed in a brightly decorated manner, standing in the middle of the city, holding a sword in his hand, and whispered: "Don't act rashly without my orders. Wait for them to approach, don't be anxious, don't be anxious..."

As the Tianshan Army got closer, the soldiers on the city wall breathed more and more rapidly, but the blood in the blood vessels began to burn gradually.

The Tianshan Army had already taken the battle, but Han Ying did not see the Northwest Army of Fuguiling. He could even look northwest and see the flags still waving on Fuguiling from afar.

The sound of horns and drums rumbled. As the Tianshan Army was getting closer and closer, the defenders on the city were ready.

"General, they... they seemed to have stopped." A general next to Han Ying suddenly said.

In fact, without the generals, Han Ying had already seen that the Tianshan Army was still two or three hundred steps away from the outermost trench, but it suddenly stopped and did not continue to move forward.

The defenders at the city wall looked at each other, wondering what the Tianshan Army was going to do.

The soldiers soon saw that the Tianshan military formation suddenly opened left and right, and several cracks were pulled out. Everyone was not sure what to do in the Tianshan military gourd. Suddenly, a large group of people slowly walked out of the cracks of the military formation. Han Ying saw the group of people, his face changed slightly, and his brows had already locked up. However, he saw that the group of people who came out of the military formation had no armor, but coarse cloth clothes, and even many people were in a mess, obviously a group of ordinary people.

This group of people was really a large number, and they appeared from the Tianshan military formation. In a blink of an eye, there were as many as one or two thousand people. What's even more strange is that these people were holding various utensils, shovels, shovels, and hoes in their hands. If they weren't in the battle formation, they would think they were going to work in the fields.

The defenders on the city were stunned for a moment.

"General, are they... do they want to use the people to attack the city together? Or use the lives of the people to threaten us?" The generals around him couldn't help but say, but quickly denied their thoughts, "But... but those people didn't seem to be forced... What's going on?"—
