Han Xiang

Chapter 150 What is the call in the middle of the night?
The night is cool and windy, and the clouds cover the stars and the moon.

An isolated city, Hefei, stands quietly in the darkness, and the sound of insects gradually disappears due to the killing of autumn.

In the silent wilderness, there was only the sound of gurgling water, and then the sound of footsteps, it was Jiangdong soldiers and horses moving.

"There is no fire in the city of Hefei, do you really think we won't attack the city at night? Will Lu Su exaggerate?"

Seeing that there was no light ahead, Sun Ce couldn't help complaining to Zhou Yu beside him.

In the darkness, Zhou Yu analyzed: "Zijing is talented. Although there is no light on the city at this time, there should be sentries watching in the dark. As long as the fire outside the city shakes, the defenders inside the city will definitely move. You can see everything from the city. , may know that we don't have large equipment, and it's normal to relax our vigilance a little bit."

"That's why Gongjin decided to use his strategy to let the soldiers walk without holding up fire. Although it is good to use the night to cover, but the moving speed is really slow, and it is easy to stumble when encountering potholes."

"There is no way. The defenders of the city are waiting for work at leisure. If we don't act like this, we won't be able to achieve the desired effect."

"Wait for a while, attack from all directions, I don't know if there is a chance to break the city directly."

"There is a possibility, but it's not great. Long Xiang is so arrogant and has Lu Su's help, so he must be prepared.

The key depends on whether there is chaos in the city, not to mention whether Deng Dang can succeed, the tens of thousands of refugees who fled from Lujiang River are enough for them to drink a pot."

"Well, I hope to break the city soon, we don't have much food and grass."

"Don't worry Bofu, within three to five days, there will be results."

"Well, the reason why Lujiang was difficult to fight back then was not only because Yuan Shu didn't have enough soldiers and horses, but also because there were enough soldiers and enough food in Lujiang City. It's different now."

Outside the city, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were walking in the dark. Inside the city, the main hall of the Sima Mansion was brightly lit, and the senior generals and think tanks of Hefei gathered together.

In the southeast corner of the room, several stacks of quilts were neatly stacked, which were prepared by Long Xiang for everyone.

Before the enemy retreated outside the city, they slept on the ground here at night, which was convenient for collaborating on countermeasures and commanding and dispatching.

After dinner, Long Xiang asked the governors of the fifth battalion to report on their work one by one.

At that moment, he seemed to return to the previous world, and he was in touch with the heads of various departments to understand the progress of the project.

The left and right city defense battalions were at the forefront, and Tang Yu and Xu Ding reported the most, down to how to schedule and change defenses at night, where the soldiers in the battalion rested, how to deal with dangers, and so on.

After listening for a while, Long Xiang specially reminded Feng Zhong: "In addition to the city defense camp, Uncle Zhong's craftsman camp is the busiest at night. If Sun Ce and Zhou Yu make a surprise attack at night, you will have to replenish the logistics supplies. In addition, Lujiang has come recently. There are quite a few refugees, and I am very worried about them wandering around at night."

"Yunqi, don't worry, I have deployed people at every resettlement point, and the cavalry battalion will also step up patrols at night to ensure that the newcomers will not cause trouble."

Feng Zhong patted his chest to reassure.

Seeing the serious expressions on everyone's faces, Long Xiang smiled and comforted him: "Everyone, don't be so nervous, rest after you settle down, as long as Sun Ce doesn't do anything, we should eat and sleep."

The mood of the generals before the war is the same as that of the students before the exam. It is obviously impossible to say that they are not excited, but they will be stable when they really fight.

Long Xiang's words had little effect, so after a while of silence, the forthright Tang Yu asked Lu Su, "Mr. Zijing, I heard that Zhou Yu is resourceful, will he come to seize the city at night?"

Lu Su stroked his beard and shook his head: "Zhou Lang is familiar with strategy and the truth, I can't tell you well."

"Then why sleep? I'm still going to the city."

Tang Yu got up while talking, Xu Ding, Hao Meng and others all got up, but Long Xiang stopped him in time.

"Everyone stop, isn't there any guard on the city? Everyone sleep peacefully, and it won't be too late when Sun Ce attacks the city. Now it's pitch black outside, and you can see even a little fire."

"In case Sun Ce climbs the city in the dark"

Tang Yu muttered in a low voice and sat back again.

Seeing that everyone still had doubts, Long Xiang took the lead and lay down on the soft mat beside the table.

He looked at the roof with his head resting on his hands, and murmured: "I can't see clearly at night. Sun Ce climbed the city in the dark and followed them. It's impossible to make no noise, right? Just let the brothers throw stones. It's even more exposed if they dare to light a fire." Line of sight, bow and arrow can greet you."

"Haha, I said why don't the city be set on fire. I didn't want to expose the target of the defenders. Where did Yun Qi learn how to defend the city?" Lu Su also fell asleep on the ground.

"How can anyone teach this? It's just random thinking. If you don't do it right, Zijing, you have to remind me."

The civil engineering that Long Xiang learned in his previous life, the school did not have an elective course in the art of war. The vision control was learned in the Summoner Canyon, and he often played with Captain Teemo who would blind him.

"Okay, climbing the wall in the dark may break through a weakly defended city, but Yun Qi has already deployed it properly just now, even Zhou Lang can't take advantage of it. The city is condescending and has a natural advantage. You have done a good job."

"That's fine, everyone closes their eyes and rests, so that they can face the battle with enough energy."

"it is good."

"Old Tang, keep your voice down, I'm already falling asleep."

The meeting hall at this time is like a student dormitory with a shop, after going through the rambling before going to bed, it finally calms down slowly.

The remaining one or two who did not fall asleep closed their eyes and learned the method of counting sheep taught by Long Xiang just now.

The sound of breathing mixed with the sound of snoring played a concerto in the dimly lit room.

Until the time passed, urgent military reports came from outside the hall one after another, and enemy situations appeared at the four gates of Hefei at the same time.

The three generals of the city defense battalion, Xu Ding, Tang Yu, and Hao Meng, immediately got up and adjusted their armor, asked Long Xiang for instructions, and then went to the front line.

Xu Chu clasped his fists together and asked Ying: "General, Sun Ce besieged the city on all sides. They went to the south, south and north gates. I will lead the Tiger Guard battalion to help the west gate?"

Long Xiang waved his hand lightly: "Bo'an (Xu Ding) has deployed defenders at the west gate, and the Tiger Guard Battalion is standing still for the time being. You can follow me to the west tower to have a look, and let the brothers who should rest continue to rest."

"only."

Long Xiang shook his clothes, and then told Feng Zhong and Cao Xing: "You all have to perform your own duties, just take care of the affairs in the city, and continue to sleep if there is no situation."

Feng Zhong and Cao Xing looked at each other and smiled, thinking that everyone has work to do now, how could the two of them sleep?

After a while, Long Xiang and others boarded the West Tower, and at this time several torches were also lit on the city.

Looking down, I saw the flames shaking under the city.

In terms of numbers, there are about a few hundred people below, all standing outside the moat and shouting loudly.

Just a few kittens?Why don't you go to bed in the middle of the night and run down the city to help?

"what's the situation?"

Xu Chu found a defender and brought him to Long Xiang for questioning.

Huotou replied: "The thieves originally crawled into the city in the dark, but we hit a lot of them with stones. Now they retreat outside and make noise. I don't know what they have in mind."

Long Xiang nodded slightly: "Don't pay attention to the noise of the enemy army. You turn off the torches and continue to be vigilant. They will leave when they are tired of shouting."

"Wei." Huotou cupped his fists and left.

"Ximen's side is obviously a feint. Let's go to the other three gates to see."

Long Xiang couldn't help but turned around and went downstairs, and spent half an hour looking around, but the situation at each gate was similar, obviously Zhou Yu was playing tricks.

"Zijing, give me an analysis. Jiangdong's soldiers don't sleep most of the night, why are they yelling at the city?"
