On the sixth day of the seventh month, Chen came to report:

"General, forty towers have been completed!"

Although he has been paying attention to the progress, Chen Fei was still slightly surprised:

"So fast? It's only been fifteen days?"

Chen Dao straightened his chest and boasted his skills with a little complacent attitude:

“Building a tower is much easier than forging a sword.”

Guo Jia said "tsk":

"I am worthy of being the number one forging master in Xiping, Runan! My skills are indeed good."

Chen Dao ignored the irony in his tone and continued:

"Strangely, Zhang Chao was so calm that he didn't send any troops out of the city to fight for half a month, and let our army repair all forty towers!"

Guo Jia sneered:

"We have 20,000 elite soldiers in our hands, and there are only 3,000 elderly, weak, sick and disabled in Chenliu City. What will he take out of the city to fight?"

Chen Fei nodded:

"Bongxiao is right, but... can you pay attention to the tone of your speech? Otherwise, I'm very worried that you will be beaten to death by your colleagues."

Guo Jia was stunned for a moment:

"Why?"

Chen Fei shrugged:

"Because you're talking, you really deserve a beating."

Chen Dao finally glanced at Guo Jia and said expressionlessly:

"The general is right."

Guo Jia couldn't help but rub his chin, and then fell into deep thought.

Looking at his appearance, Chen Fei didn't say much and took Chen Dao, Guo Shou, Chu Tong and others out of the tent.

While walking forward, he encouraged:

"Uncle Zhi, thank you for your hard work in the past half month."

Chen Dao lowered his head slightly:

"General Xie understands it, it's just a rough job, and it can't be said to be hard work."

Chen Fei smiled and looked forward and saw a sharp arrow shooting at the top of Chenliu City above a tower.

"Swoosh!"

And on another tower dozens of steps away, a sharp arrow also flew out!

"Du!"

After a slightly dull sound, a flag broke from it and fell to the ground along the city wall!

The soldiers immediately cheered:

"good!"

“Beautiful job!”

Chen Fei narrowed his eyes slightly, but couldn't see the figure on the tower:

"Who are these two?"

Guo Shou glanced at the flag under the tower and said with a little hesitation:

"It seems to be Yang, the former two captains."

Yang Zhi and Yuan Zhong are both good at shooting archery and occasionally compete with each other. Judging from this competition just now, Yuan Zhong is obviously better. He shot a military flag of Chen Liu with one arrow, but Yang Zhi shot a piece of air.

Chen Fei ordered expressionlessly:

"Who told them to shoot arrows without authorization? Let them get down to see me!"

Guo Shou swallowed, rushed to the tower, conveying Chen Fei's emotions to the two commanders who were shooting archery without authorization.

Yang Zhi and Yuan Zhong both crawled down with their hands and feet, and then knelt down in front of Chen Fei with a little nervousness.

Chen Fei's eyes were slightly cold:

"Do you know your guilt?"

Yang Zhi and Yuan Zhong looked at each other and lowered their heads at the same time:

"The villain... did not receive the general's order and shot arrows at the enemy without authorization."

Shooting an arrow seems not a matter of principle, but in the context of the war between the two armies, it seems a bit serious. At least, they made the four words "military orders are like mountains" meaningless.

If the law is strictly enforced, it will be a bit disappointing, but if you leave it alone, your authority as the head coach will be impacted - today they can ignore the order because of the archery competition, and tomorrow they may break into the other party's military camp because of the riding competition...

Chen Fei said in front of thousands of soldiers:

"You are all commanders with thousands of soldiers in your hands. If you even ignore the general order, what combat power can this army have? Although you only shot two arrows today, I must punish you severely. Do you have any complaints?"

Yang Zhi said first:

"Don't dare!"

Yuan Zhong was one step slower, but he could only agree with the slightest.

I heard Chen Fei say:

"I will give you three days. Within three days, each person must shoot down ten defenders from the opponent. If the task cannot be completed, two hundred sticks will be used as a warning!"

Yang Zhi and Yuan Zhong looked up at the same time almost at the same time.

Chen Fei raised his chin:

"Did you hear it clearly?"

The two captains jumped up at the same time:

"Abide by the order!"

They grabbed their longbows and arrow pouches, climbed up the tower with their hands and feet!

Chenliu's army suddenly discovered in horror:

Two sniper rifles seemed to be set up on the tower opposite!

"Swoosh!"

"Swoosh!"

"Swoosh swish swish!"

-

July 8th.

"What did you say?"

Facing the soldiers' reports, Zhang Chao was a little shocked, and he couldn't believe his ears:

"No one wants to go up to the city to guard?!"

The soldier nodded heavily:

"The enemy built forty or fifty towers, one meter taller than the city wall, and sent elite shooters to shoot from top to bottom. In just two days, we were shot to death with thirty-two brothers!"

Zhang Chao couldn't help but scold:

"Don't bewitch the morale of the army! The tower is at least a hundred steps away from the city wall. How could it be so accurate? Whose subordinate are you? Let your betroths come to see me!"

The soldier's face showed sadness:

"Uncle Zhao... was shot to death by the other party just now!"

Zhang Chao opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he could only sit down powerlessly.

He murmured:

"Brother, if you don't go back to save me, the Zhang family... will be destroyed!"

-

The family was trapped in Chenliu, so Zhang Miao certainly wanted to rescue him, but although he was only three hundred miles away in Puyang, he could not get rid of him at all.

Just when Zhang Chao was anxious, his brother Zhang Miao was surrounded by Cao Cao who was rushed back in Puyang.

"I was really surprised by how quickly Cao Mengde returned to the army!"

In the conference hall, Chen Gong shook his head.

But Lu Bu didn't care:

"This doesn't matter. The faster he withdraws his troops, the more tired his soldiers will be. But while he is not firm in his foothold, he will defeat him in one battle!"
