Three Kingdoms: defect to Liu Bei and backhand intercept Mrs. Hu Mi

Chapter 172 Divine assist?
On the city wall, more than ten thousand archers looked at each other.

The enemy is not within range of the attack. How many people can be killed by the arrow at this moment?
But the one who shouted was Yuan Shu, the Lord of Huainan.

Although they knew in their hearts that they shouldn't, the archers still released their fully drawn bows one by one.

"whoosh whoosh"

Countless arrows shot across the sky towards the earth like meteors.

The corners of Yuan Shu's mouth raised slightly, and a flash of disdain flashed in his eyes.

He could already imagine that the enemy would suffer heavy losses and countless people would fall to the ground in a moment.

"woooooo"

The sound of Mingjin's horn sounded, awakening Yuan Shu who was enjoying himself.

What's going on here?

Just attack and then retreat?

He looked down at the city with doubtful eyes.

But apart from the arrows all over the ground, there were almost no corpses.

Occasionally, I see human figures, who are also injured but not dead, and are being rescued by Pao Ze.

"What's the matter?"

Zhang Xun smiled bitterly and said: "This is the enemy's feint attack strategy."

"With their fighting spirit soaring into the sky, we mistakenly thought that they would launch an attack immediately and consume our arrows."

"To be honest, in less than ten days, our arrows will be exhausted."

Yuan Shu's face turned livid: "Don't let the archers release arrows, wait until they get close before shooting!"

"Save weapons to defend the city. Our goal is to defend the city for eight months to a year."

“If it’s tight now, what will happen in the future?”

"What can you do to resist Lin Fan's attack?"

Hearing Yuan Shu's words, Yan Xiang's eyes shone brightly: "What my lord said is absolutely true."

"We must avoid unnecessary loss of bows and arrows. Such short-term losses will have a huge impact on the confidence of archers."

Zhang Xun was stunned, his eyes full of confusion, and just as he was about to ask, Yan Xiang on the side had already winked.

In confusion, Yan Xiang continued: "If the lord can come to inspect the city wall every day and get close to ordinary soldiers, he can still defend the city wall even without using arrows to block the enemy's first wave of attack."

Yuan Shu frowned slightly when he heard that Yan Xiang was referring to himself: "It seems that this matter can be postponed."

"The intensity of this kind of attack is far from breaking the city. If I inspected it every day, it would make people panic."

As he spoke, he continued to walk quickly forward, deliberately keeping a distance from Yan Xiang.

Yan Xiang and Zhang Xun looked at each other, their eyes full of bitterness.

He continued to follow Yuan Shu to inspect the city wall. No matter how Yan Xiang or Zhang Xun diverted the matter to Yuan Shu to inspect the city wall, Yuan Shu always refused to answer.

Half an hour passed, when Yuan Shu was descending the city wall.

"woooooo"

The horn of charge sounded again.

Yuan Shu instinctively trembled all over, but thinking of the feint attack just now due to the loud thunder and small raindrops, he smiled and said: "Lin Fan is so weak as a Guizhou donkey."

"He thinks he can break through the city with some tricks. We need to let him know that Shouchun City is just a piece of hard bone. Even if his teeth are broken, he can't get on the city wall."

When the generals who wanted to defend heard this, thinking about the previous two feint attacks, they immediately felt relieved and were not in a hurry to go to their respective posts.

Yuan Shu thought to himself and said: "We will continue to have extra meals today, including wine and meat."

"Follow me, Yuan Shuqian, and I will never treat you badly."

"Even if the people in the city have nothing to eat, I will never starve you."

"But you must guard the city wall for me."

"Not a single soldier can be put up."

"The so-called embankment of a thousand miles." Seeing the sound of the horn getting louder and the sound of footsteps getting heavier, Yuan Shu hadn't finished his nonsense yet.

Yan Xiang and Zhang Xun were anxious.

Although they were not sure whether this attack was real or fake, they had to watch it intently to judge.

If the general is so lax and doesn't take it seriously, how can the other soldiers take it to heart?

"My lord, how about General Zhang Xun going to take charge of the overall situation of the city wall and make preparations?"

"After all, there is a lot of commotion outside the city. What if this time it is true?"

Before Yan Xiang could finish his words, he was interrupted by Yuan Shu: "According to what you just reported, Lin Fan's attacks are often unexpected. Either he launches an attack suddenly at dawn, or he makes us uneasy while we are eating. , or take advantage of the last glimmer of light to attack when the sun sets."

"There are at most two attacks per day. How can we attack at this time with such an attack frequency?"

"If this attack is real, doesn't it mean that there will be no time to launch an attack in the next day?"

"No matter how stupid Lin Fan is, he won't attack so early, right?"

These words made the surrounding generals and captains nod in agreement.

"My lord is right. This is the third attack. It is not done right and there is no opportunity to take advantage of it."

"This time it must be a bluff. Mr. Yan Xiang is overly worried!"

With the support of the generals, Yuan Shu's face became more confident.

But the bad feeling in Yan Xiang's heart became even stronger.

"Lord, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst!"

"we."

Before he finished speaking, Yuan Shu interrupted him again. He pointed in the direction outside the city wall and said loudly: "Soldiers, don't be afraid. The enemy is bluffing."

"They are like annoying flies, attacking with such dirty tricks."

"I know you are very upset, but you must maintain your mentality and don't be too nervous."

"If this kind of siege is judged to be unlikely to happen, there is no need to pay any attention to it."

"Lin Fan's purpose is to consume our arrows, but we are indifferent. What can they do to us?"

Yuan Shu's words made the defenders who were still a little nervous instantly relax.

Many enemies who were staring at the charging enemies in the distance also diverted their attention.

Some were even whispering.

The city wall was instantly in chaos, as if a mob was guarding it.

Not only did Yuan Shu not feel angry, he was also complacent: "Just now, the soldiers in the city were tensed. If this goes on, they will be mentally exhausted. How can they resist Lin Fan's fierce attack?"

"It should be tight and tight, not one string stretched. How good it is now!"

Although Zhang Xun felt that what Yuan Shu said made sense, there was still something wrong with it.

He quickly looked at Yan Xiang: "Is this okay?"

Yan Xiang shook his head repeatedly: "If this matter can be solved so easily, why do we still have a headache?"

"It's okay to relax moderately, but facing a powerful opponent like Lin Fan, how can it be effective if the attack is so fierce?"

"I'm afraid that if we are not careful, the enemy will scale the city wall. If there are few gaps, we can still cope with it. If there are many gaps, I can't even imagine it."

Zhang Xun was shocked: "Then why don't you quickly give advice to the lord?"

Yan Xiang hesitated and nodded: "Lord."

Before the two of them finished speaking, the soldiers on top of the city who were watching the enemy's attack changed their expressions and shouted sternly: "No, the enemy is really coming to attack."

"This is not fake!"

"Archer, quick, release the arrow!!"

Yuan Shu, who was feeling complacent, was stunned and rushed towards the crenellations of the city wall.

When he saw that the striker had rushed ten feet away from the city wall, his face instantly turned pale.
