Chapter 239 Is the City Broken?
"Is the city broken?"

Li Cheng has been staying at the top of the city, and every time he wakes up, he asks Liu Dang beside him.

The moonlight was bright tonight, and countless black mountain bandits took advantage of the moonlight to attack the city, and started beating the private soldiers of the San Clan by surprise.

Fortunately, Su You borrowed the lessons from Xu Huang's previous attack and organized a team of crossbowmen on standby at any time. The black bandit who rushed to the top of the city was shot down by the crossbowmen again.

Li Cheng saw that the war was stable, and Li Cheng, who had not slept peacefully for several days, felt drowsy.

Every time I dozed off, I dreamed that the city was broken. After being captured by the Black Mountain bandits, I tried my best to humiliate me, but I compromised in every possible way in exchange for beheading.

It's not that I'm afraid of death, I'm just afraid of the black bandits massacring the city.But who can understand himself?
Li Cheng felt lonely looking at the three of Zhen Yi, hum!Still looking at me, do you really think I don't know what you're thinking?Li Cheng chose to abandon his official position if he didn't do anything and died defending the city.

"Reassure you, the four cities are firmly in our hands."

Zhen Yi smiled and stroked his beard to persuade: "If you are tired all night, why don't you go back home and take a rest."

"It doesn't matter, can Lian Po survive at seventy! What's more, I'm only forty?"

Li Cheng responded with a smile.

Zhen Yi and Su Shuang smiled helplessly, this envoy really cherishes his life!

There was a lot of noise overnight, Wuji County, the camp outside the city, and Liu Bei's camp in Hebei were all busy.

The county soldiers organized by the Prime Minister of Zhongshan repaired the bridge and cut ice in the river with great fanfare. Liu Bei led [-] cavalry to detour to the direction of Hejianfu.

After a sleepless night, the sky gradually brightened, and the black bandit's attack was better than nothing. Zhen Yi organized the women and children of the three clans to cook corn porridge and warm beard cakes and sent them to the private soldiers who had been fighting all night in the city.

"My lord, let's eat something! Will the black mountain bandits attack the city again in a while?"

Zhen Yi personally led the clansmen to deliver meals to Li Cheng, Su Shuang, Zhang Shiping and the elders of the three clans.

"Hmm! That's fine too."

Li Cheng took a bowl of porridge, and his stomach gurgled. The strong aroma of corn made Li Cheng feel extremely hungry in an instant. He took a few sips, like a hot stream flowing in his stomach.

Li Cheng couldn't help sighing in his heart, as expected of a grain merchant for many years, the porridge he made was extraordinary.

"Boom boom boom!"

The sudden sound of war drums made Li Cheng dumbfounded. He could no longer hold the corn porridge in his hand, and he didn't care to wipe off the warm porridge after spilling it all over his body. He just kept asking, "Do thieves dare to attack the city?"

Under the city gate, the Heishan bandits who had just retreated were driven to gather below the city again, and the density of personnel attacks was far higher than any previous one.

Su You understood that this might be the last blow of the Black Mountain bandit, if he could block it, he would be very safe!If he couldn't stop it, Su You looked at Zhang's lovely wife whom he had just married, and said that he had to be a pair of fateful mandarin ducks.

"Don't eat them all, the Black Mountain Bandit is already a flashback, and Liu Shijun is already several miles away."

Su You swallowed most of the bowl in one gulp, smiled at Mrs. Zhang, stood up and shouted, "Life and death are at stake. For our homeland, wife and children, we will fight to the death."

"For the homeland, wife and children, fight to the death."

"Fight to the death."

"..."

Countless private soldiers suddenly became more courageous in front of their relatives or neighbors, and the Black Mountain bandits were plundering, and their military discipline was extremely corrupt. If the city was destroyed, the consequences would be disastrous!
Li Cheng came back to his senses amidst the surging morale, and the porridge grains on his body were wiped off by his confidantes. Li Cheng forced a smile: "With such morale, the army's heart can be used!"

"What Duke Ming said is true. The envoy Liu is approaching, and the bandits will fight to the death. This battle will be extremely tragic. It is Duke Ming's plan. If Duke Ming is not as good as it is, let's go back to the house and change clothes."

Zhen Yi pretended not to see Li and became embarrassed.

"Alright."

Li Cheng felt the physical discomfort and nodded. Zhen Yi and the others were overjoyed. As long as Li Cheng didn't run away, even if the city wall was lost, the private soldiers of the San Clan could stop it for a long time.

Li Cheng turned around and said to Li Qi, the family member behind him: "Yuchun! You stay and supervise the battle for me. There is only one person who is still fighting, and my banner cannot be moved."

"promise!"

Li Qi made a big promise.

Zhen Yi and the others immediately felt at ease, as long as the big banner was around, they didn't care about Li Cheng's whereabouts.

In Dongcheng, Xu Huang and Zhang Liao watched countless black mountain thieves attaching themselves to Dongcheng ants. Xu Huang was worried: "I wonder if my lord can arrive before the city is broken?"

Zhang Liao smiled confidently: "Gongming doesn't need to worry. The scouts don't mean that the lord left the camp last night. He marched overnight. Even if he buried pots and made food on the road, he could still arrive before midnight. As long as the black mountain bandits can't break through at midnight." The city will be fine."

Xu Huang nodded: "Yeah! Liu Shi is also thinking about someone, doesn't he know that he is helping him a lot by preventing him from attacking the city?"

Xu Huang and Zhang Liao chatted and laughed freely under the city.

In Kujing County, Liu Bei led [-] cavalry to eat here. They were not as hard-pressed as Zhang Liao thought. With the support of the Prime Minister of Zhongshan, Kujing Ling had prepared meals as early as before dawn.

Zhang Fei's mouth was full of oil, the grilled mutton was golden, and a bowl full of corn and rice was pulled into his stomach after a few casual strokes.
Looking up, he saw Wenpin's dusty appearance, casually picking up the corn porridge handed over by his elders, and shouting, "Boy Wen, have a bowl of porridge first."

"Thank you, Commander."

Wenpin hurriedly took the corn porridge and drank it down.

The black bandits were indeed much more elite than in the Yellow Turban period, and they even knew how to send scouts to check for reinforcements. Therefore, Liu Bei ordered the Prime Minister to make a big splash by the Yi River, and led his cavalry to attack long distances.

Liu Bei looked far into the sky, and the black mountain bandits were already like this at this time. Wouldn't the elite soldiers under Yuan Shao and Cao Cao be stronger in the future?That's right, if they are all as useless as the Yellow Turban Thieves, then what's the challenge?

It seems that the battlefield has been the same since ancient times, but the modern battlefield is more sophisticated, and every step is under control. It seems that it is time to establish a staff system, and it is time to train some eagles and carrier pigeons in the grassland.

"How is it? Has the road ahead been explored? How is the situation in Wuji City?"

When Liu Bei came back to his senses, he saw Wen Pin who was about to report.

Wen Pin said: "The scouts of the Black Mountain bandit travel from the Mihe Camp to Wuji City every hour and the route is specific. There are no backup scouts or other routes."

Liu Bei led the army to attack for a long distance, Wenpin had already sneaked across the river, and found the black mountain bandit's scouts upside down, they still didn't know that someone was spying on them secretly.

"I don't know if the black mountain bandits heard the wind. They have been fighting fiercely since last night until dawn. Not long ago, they launched an army attack on the city."

Liu Bei nodded. It seems that among the Black Mountain bandits there are people who understand military strategy.

"After dinner, rest for a while and then attack with the whole army. You must arrive at the foot of Wuji City before noon, and wipe out the Black Mountain bandits. Boye, your task is to prevent the Black Mountain bandits from knowing our news, and to contact us. Shang Gongming and Wen Yuan asked them to cooperate with the army's surprise attack.

"promise!"

Wen Pin hurriedly stood up and wanted to leave, but Liu Bei called him back again: "It's not too late to go after dinner."

"Thank you, my lord."
