Chapter 699

Since Yuan Xi last launched the siege, four or five hours had already passed.

In these four or five hours, Yuan Xi listened to Yan Liang's suggestion and chose to appease the morale of the army, rather than forcing them to continue the siege.

But it was very awkward.

Everyone is not a fool.

Among this group of soldiers who were forcibly conscripted, almost no one wanted to die for Yuan Xi.

Their biggest wish was to be able to keep their lives and return to their hometown.

Therefore, how could they sell their lives because of Yuan Xi's few words of chicken soup (Kun soup) bewitchment?

This destined Yuan Xi's appeasement plan to become empty talk.

Seeing that the dark night had arrived, Yuan Xi felt infinite anxiety in his heart.

This small Hehe City is just a city that cannot be ranked in Ye City.

Although it is the seat of Hejian Commandery.

But if compared with cities like Ye City and Xindu, it is completely not in the same grade.

But it is just such a small broken city, Yuan Xi spent so much time here, but still had no progress in the siege.

This simply made Yuan Xi feel more uncomfortable than being scratched by a cat.

"No!"

"General Yan, this young master believes that a sneak attack at night will definitely be able to catch the enemy off guard!"

Yuan Xi turned to Yan Liang and said.

Hearing this, Yan Liang's eyelids blinked slightly, and then he fell into thought.

To tell the truth, he did not believe that with the talent shown by the defending general on the city tower, he could not be prepared for a night attack.

But... for Yuan Xi.

A night attack is indeed the best engineering method.

The dark night, besides bringing unknown fear to people.

Actually, for a siege, it is also an extremely suitable thing.

The defenders on the city tower, if it were during the day, could easily see the situation outside the city.

In this way.

Everything is equivalent to being exposed in the field of vision.

Fighting a war, naturally, is also restrained.

But if it were placed in the dark night, it would be different.

No matter how cunning the defending general on the city tower is.

The unknown dark night will definitely bring a huge impact to the morale of the city-guarding soldiers!

Thinking of this.

Yan Liang decided to agree with Yuan Xi's night attack plan.

However.

In order to ensure that this time is absolutely safe.

Yan Liang planned to go out in person.

He would lead the team himself, bring two thousand old veterans of Youzhou, as the vanguard.

In this way, those new soldiers who were forcibly conscripted only need to blindly follow behind the old veterans and continue to rush forward.

But... what Yan Liang did not know was.

Hao Zhao on the city tower had already seen through his purpose.

It can be called everything is ready, just waiting for Yan Liang to take the bait.

……

Another two hours passed.

Time soon reached the middle of the night.

Yan Liang led two thousand old veterans of Youzhou and launched a surprise attack on the city tower.

However.

When Yan Liang arrived under the city tower, he was surprised to find that the defenders on the city tower seemed very sparse, and it seemed there were not many people.

Yan Liang could not help but feel happy in his heart.

It looks like he and Yuan Xi really bet right.

Although the defending general on the city tower showed a cunning year during the city-guarding battle during the day.

But as the saying goes.

No one is perfect, no thing is perfect.

No matter how cautious a person is, sometimes they will fall into slackness.

Slightly restraining the joy in his heart, Yan Liang drew his long saber and began to climb to the top of the city tower.

"Boom!"

Just when Yan Liang thought he was about to climb the city tower, the strange change suddenly rose without warning!

Countless huge stones fell from the city tower.

Any soldier hit by the huge stones, the moment they were hit, their fate was already destined.

Even some soldiers who were lucky enough to dodge the huge stones.

After the siege ladders they used to climb the city were destroyed by the huge stones, their ending was also death.

Of course, due to the large number of siege people.

Plus this wave of siege was the two thousand old veterans of Youzhou.

Therefore, there were still some lucky ones who escaped the falling of the huge stones and the destruction of the siege ladders.

But...

How could Hao Zhao's tricks be only this?

Soon, before Yan Liang could react.

Countless hot golden juice was poured down from above the city tower!

This TM.

What is golden juice?

It is a life-taking thing!

Do not look at this thing that everyone can manufacture.

But the lethality is truly great!

Especially the ancient city-guarding side, those who use golden juice are all ruthless people.

Poor Yan Liang.

Because he took the lead and charged in the front.

Therefore, it was impossible to escape the baptism of golden juice.

The foul smell made him wish he could peel off his own skin.

But this is not enough!

Compared to the foul smell.

The biggest damage of golden juice is to make the wound not heal, and at the same time give burns.

Yan Liang was poured all over his face with golden juice.

It is conceivable what kind of concept this is.

"General!!"

Amidst the shouts of the soldiers behind him, Yan Liang came back to his senses in a daze.

But as long as one looks carefully, one can find.

At this moment, Yan Liang looked as if his three souls and six spirits had been hooked away.

The severe pain all over his body made him not even have the strength to walk.

Helpless.

Before losing his strength.

Yan Liang used his last remaining strength to order the whole army to retreat.

After receiving Yan Liang's signal to retreat, this group of soldiers naturally would not stupidly continue the siege.
