Chapter 94: Accumulation

"Report, spies come to report, a large number of troops entered the west gate of Wushang City, and they also saw countless supplies." A soldier hurriedly ran into the marching commander and knelt on one knee and reported.

"A large number of troops? And baggage?"

Huang Yunlong's teacup was thrown off his hand and fell to pieces on the ground.

"Young Master Huang, do you think the reinforcements from the Nandan Kingdom have arrived?" Gou Xun asked with narrowed eyes.

"The reinforcements around Wushang City are all a hundred miles away recently, and there are not many garrisons. There are less than 5,000 troops in Shangdong, and they are all local garrison troops, with no combat power. The Luo River in the southwest is no different from this. Where did these large numbers of troops come from?"

"In addition, according to the spies' returns, most of them are mobilizing troops to support, but they have to wait until the day after tomorrow. Reinforcements from other places also need to be arrived after tomorrow."

"Is it strange?" Huang Yunlong said as he walked.

"Is it? Lord Gou, is there any news on Xifengling?" Huang Yunlong suddenly stopped pacing and turned around and asked.

"I have sent someone for two hours, why haven't I received any reward yet? This Prince Jin, alas!" Gou Xun sighed.

"Report, news from Xifengling!" A soldier hurriedly ran in and made a briefing on his hands.

"The headquarters was ordered to surround the enemy at Xifengkou. After fierce battles, more than 10,000 enemies were wiped out, but the enemy was tenacious. The remaining enemies fled westward. The headquarters is organizing pursuit. What's this bullshit record?"

Huang Yunlong couldn't help but curse after reading the briefing.

Gou Xun's lips moved, and he didn't say anything, so he picked up the briefing and read it carefully.

"You said, I can't wipe out a local baggage unit in 50,000 troops... and the enemy's tenaciousness is embarrassing!"

When Huang Yunlong saw Gou Xun's embarrassing face, he had to punch the table angrily.

"Come, are the horse skin and iron plates ready?" Huang Yunlong shouted loudly.

"Report... General, it has been made!"

"The mud is laid?"

"The report... are all ready as instructed!" The soldier looked at Huang Yunlong and answered carefully.

"General, this is our last chance. Once dawn, the enemy will have reinforcements, and the situation will be extremely unfavorable to us. At night, the opponent's archers have no effect and the enemy's foothold is not stable. This is a good time to attack the city!"

The soldiers who ran in outside the tent naturally reported to Gou Xun. Although Huang Yunlong was the young tutor of the prince and at least the official, this was in the army, and the soldiers naturally only recognized Gou Xun, so Huang Yunlong had to express his thoughts and still had to issue the order.

"How sure is the young master of the improvement of the attacking ram?" Gou Xun asked worriedly. During the day, his attacking ram was burned by Ye Xuandong with fire, and Huang Yunlong naturally saw this scene.

After returning from the army, Huang Yunlong immediately ordered people to slaughter dozens of war horses, peel off all the war horses, paste them onto thick wooden boards, and add some thin iron plates above the horses to prevent rockets and heavy stones.

There are these materials in the army, and the carpenter naturally has ready-made ones, but there are no such large wooden boards ready-made, so he has been waiting for the completion of the protective boards.

"General Gou Don't worry, in this battle, I will definitely break through the city gate and go into the city!"

Huang Yunlong stroked his beard, his face was colorless, but his eyes were full of murderous intent!

On the east gate of Wushang City, a red lantern is hung high at every distance, illuminating the city tower. Although it is not far away, it can still be illuminated within a dozen feet of feet of the foot of the city wall. And further outside the city gate is hazy, with only faint moonlight shining on the ground.

It is getting late at night now, the moonlight is getting dimmer and the surroundings are getting darker.

"Sir, are you worried about the other party's attack at night?" Ye Xuandong asked while pressing his sword in his hand and standing beside Du Feng.

Du Feng looked into the darkness in the distance for a long time and said slowly:

"How much do you know about Huang Yunlong?"

"This... the Xiaguan only knows that Huang Yunlong is the prince's master of the State of Jin, and is a title of Shaoqing. He is resourceful and scheming. He really doesn't know about the other Xiaguan."

"Huang Yunlong... said that there is still a little grudge with my Nandan Kingdom, of course it is with the current emperor... Alas, even the grudge between the Huang family, I have only heard my father occasionally mention it."

Du Feng said this and stopped talking.

"You know that Huang Yunlong is resourceful. If you were him, would you attack tonight?"

"If I were him, I probably wouldn't. After all, he wouldn't have known the news that you brought people to rescue. It seems unreasonable to come to attack the city at this time. Besides, the command and cooperation are not as good as during the day when siege at night."

"You are half right. Siege at the city at night is not good, but it is also bad for the defenders. Our Nandan Kingdom and the whole country will assist Wushang City. The other party will know that even if we draw troops from Baisha County, Huanglong County, Jiufeng County and other western prefectures and counties, we will arrive in two days. If we arrive at that time, they will have almost no chance of winning." Du Feng pointed to the city gate and continued.

"Shangdong brought you something, have you seen it? I have sent someone to inform Luohe that I will not enter the city tonight, but temporarily station troops in Jiuligou in the southwest direction, and act with the camera."

"Do you mean a door-sticking knives?" Ye Xuandong said, pointing to a strange device in the city gate.

"Well, I guess the opponent will launch a full-strength attack tonight and earnestly achieve his best. So the battle tonight will either not come. If it comes, it will be extremely dangerous. If it is notified, everyone will sleep in kimono and take turns to sleep every two hours."

"Are the bows and arrows and stones ready?"

"Sir, everything is ready. With your personal arrival, the soldiers and the people of Wushang City are so happy!"

"Stop flattering, I'm not a god!"

Du Feng said half-jokingly, turning his head to leave, but he found Turin standing on the city wall holding a red tassel spear!

"What are you doing here? You can't go down and rest!"

Dufeng stepped forward quickly and reached out to pull the sleeves of Turin.

"Don't worry!" Turin swung his right hand and avoided Du Feng's hand.

Du Feng was angry and annoyed about this subordinate and sister. After entering Wushang City, Du Feng called Turin aside and severely scolded her.

Turin has never been scolded so severely by his brother, and tears kept flowing, but she herself knew her own reasons, which led to so many soldiers from the South Dan Kingdom who were buried here.

After all, Turin is a young man, and it is inevitable that he is angry, so after being scolded by Dufeng, he simply ran up to the city tower.

"Miss, go back and rest. It's very cold here. Besides, the adults have said that there may be a fierce battle here tonight!"

Qian'er and two other women comforted her, saying that these three were female soldiers who followed Turin at Xifengkou during the day. Unfortunately, fourteen people went to fight, and only three of them came back.

"You go and get her a few clothes. Since she wants to defend the city here, let her follow her!"

Everyone was so angry that their face turned pale. He really didn't have many ways to deal with this willful sister.

"When I repel the enemy, I will see how I deal with you!"

Du Feng scolded Turin and was about to turn around and get down the city tower. Suddenly, hundreds of feet away, a large number of black Jin soldiers were approaching quietly in the dark night. A siege ram and dozens of siege ladders were slowly approaching the city gate!
