"Major General, the other party is too cruel. He has not withdrawn his troops yet." A Qingyuan army held the hilt of the knife on his head and supported the long sword as a support. They were already exhausted, but the other party had no intention of withdrawing troops. It took more than four hours since the sunrise to the present. The defenders on their city had been rotated twice, but even so, the soldiers who had just arrived seemed exhausted.

"Hard for a while, I won't believe it's dark and I won't stop the troops." Chen He spat on the ground, his throat a little hoarse. He stood at the top of the city from beginning to end. If he hadn't been the fine armor, he would have been lifted down long ago. In this way, he was injured by arrows on his arm.

"Ming Jin withdraws the troops!" Sun Yu looked on the stage and never found a chance. Since that's the case, he could only withdraw his troops and fight again tomorrow.

Both sides stopped tacitly, and each cleaned up their bodies and wounded, leaving the battlefield. The twelve siege cars were still intact, but eight. If the baggage battalion had not been prepared, they would probably have been broken tomorrow and had to use a simple ladder.

Hearing the sound of gold, Chen He threw his sword to the ground, wiped the blood on his face, sat directly on the ground, and began to take off his armor. A personal soldier handed over the water bag, Chen He took it and drank it straight up to the sky.

When the number of casualties was sent over, Chen He held the note tightly and couldn't believe it. In today's battle, he was defended by the city, and nearly two thousand people were seriously injured and killed in battle. There were countless people who were injured by arrows. If the wound did not ulcerate, it would be slightly injured, and once it occurred, death would be normal.

The people who defended the city today were all elite soldiers, far from being able to compete with the new recruits recruited recently. At this rate of casualties, at most, the veterans would be completely lost in two days. Chen He didn't know the specific casualties of the other party. If he persisted, he didn't know who couldn't hold on first.

"Sir, I will go to the city myself tomorrow!" Chen Qiba roared angrily, his subordinates suffered heavy casualties today, and more than 500 were seriously injured and killed in battle, all of whom were veterans of a hundred battles.

"Bahu, sit down first, you all sit down." Sun Yu waved his hand. He wanted to take Tong'an County immediately than anyone else. It would be better if the soldiers were not bloody, but why? He is not a son of a plane, and the aura of the king and domineering is leaking.

"My Jianzhou Army has not really fought a siege battle with equal strength since its launch. This tough battle is also the only way for our Jianzhou Army to grow. War is always like this. Many times, we cannot choose. We must have the will to defeat the enemy under any circumstances. Now, when the troops are still superior, if you suffer a little setback, you will be unable to recover? Or you will fight in person? This kind of scene may be possible once or twice, and you will surely survive if you have too many times. You are all generals of my Jianzhou Army and cannot sacrifice in vain. Tonight, each will arrange a battalion..." Sun Yu made some arrangements and left with the evil dog. He was tired all day and was about to rest.

"Head, look, what is that?" It was Ye, and at midnight, the Qingyuan army soldiers at the top of the city were suddenly panicked when they saw that there seemed to be some figures under the city.

"Stop it, shoot two rockets and take a look." The moon was blocked by dark clouds tonight and could not see far.

The captain brought a torch and signaled the crossbowman to come over and ignite the flammable substance soaked in the arrow post with tincture oil. The two rockets were like meteors, passing a beautiful trajectory in the darkness.

"Hurry, hurry, beat the drum!" The captain looked in the direction of the rocket and could see someone flashing around the rocket's landing point. It was sure that the other party was preparing to attack at night.

Chen He, who was sleeping soundly, heard the sound of drums, got up from the bed, grabbed his sword and ran out. Since he knew that the Jianzhou army was coming to the west, Chen He was at night

All of them were not untied, so the personal soldiers behind him quickly entered the house and brought his armor.

Along the entire city wall, there were busy soldiers with incomplete armor, hurriedly rushed towards the city. The soldiers at the city were preparing defensive supplies with the light of torches.

"Where is the enemy?" Chen He stood on the top of the city wall and looked down. He couldn't even see a ghost. Now the torches and braziers on the top of the city were illuminated very brightly, but the city was still dark and could not see anything.

"Just in the darkness in front of you, the rocket shot over just now, and it was really good." The soldiers next to you quickly replied, "There is no enemy in the middle of the night, who would be willing to mess around here?"

"Shoot another rocket for me, a little more." Chen He nodded, but was still worried, seeing it was true.

This time, he directly shot more than a hundred rockets, and saw clearly the entire arrow under the city wall. The Jianzhou Army was forming a formation. At a glance, there was no boundary. The rockets basically landed on the large shield and were destroyed in a blink of an eye.

Chen Henei felt inexplicably surprised. He didn't care about his appearance and directly stuck it behind the city wall. He now had no armor, and the personal soldiers carrying armor behind him had not arrived yet.

"Ah!" Just as Chen He entered the corner, the soldiers who had just stood beside Chen He all screamed, and several thick crossbow arrows avoided the arrow pile and shot into the crowd. Such a thick arrow stick was basically helpless. Chen He was scared and sweated. Fortunately, he was reacting quickly just now, otherwise he would have been lying on the ground.

Chen He took a few steps back carefully, and was sure that the crossbow arrows below would not shoot him, so he stopped. As for the soldiers guarding the city, they were not so lucky. They had to stand in front of them at risk.

The crossbow arrows shot from time to time under the city were extremely accurate, which made Chen He frightened. The crossbow arrows that counterattacked at the city were like stones sinking to the sea, with no movement on the opposite side.

Both sides had just been going back and forth for half an hour, with no casualties, but they were so tired that they were busy all day. They just fell asleep at night and continued, and no one could stand it.

Chen He himself was sleepy, so he definitely couldn't continue like this. He arranged for most soldiers to go back to the camp to sleep, leaving only a small number of people to help defend the city.

"Dong~Dong~Dong~" Just as Chen He was about to go down to rest, the war drums on the opposite side sounded. This was the first time tonight. They were all sneaking before. Chen He had no choice but to stop and let the soldiers who were preparing to return to the camp wait for a while.

Under the gaze of the soldiers on the city wall, twelve newly repaired siege cars revealed their bodies in the dark. The soldiers lit all the torches on the mother body of the siege cars to facilitate the soldiers to climb. With these torches, Chen He took the other party to a real look for the first time. It was not a feint attack, but the back of each siege car was surrounded by elite soldiers. He just waited for the ladder of the siege cars to board the city wall and launched an attack immediately.

"Hurry~ Hurry, trench me, smash it hard!" Chen He hated these things to the core. If it weren't for these things, but ordinary ladders, the damage he could cause to the other party would have to be doubled, so that he would have enough confidence to guard the city.

The soldiers in charge of the catapults endured their sleepiness and started operating. With the experience of daytime, they knew that it was useless to smash the siege car in front of the siege car. It was all pure iron, and it had to be on the side. Sun Yu had also thought about getting pure iron for the side, but after the test, it didn't work. It was too heavy, the wheels could not bear it, and people couldn't push it. The main reason was that the bearing was still too rough.

Chen He didn't dare to be careless. All the elite troops under his command were gathered at the top of the city or on standby under the city. All twelve siege cars were dispatched, and the other party obviously came with all their might.

Chen He's palms were sweating, and he had no experience in night battles.

The siege car slowly approached the city wall with its powerful crossbows and stones, and the crossbowmen on it had already begun to shoot at the top of the city.

Chen He saw that the siege car had entered the range, so he naturally would not sit and wait for death. The feather arrows seemed to be free of money and shot towards the siege car in the dark and the Jianzhou army behind him.

"It's closer, it's closer!" Chen He looked at the siege cars that were getting closer, and estimated that the distance between them should be less than fifty steps. His right hand holding the long sword was already covered in sweat.

"Major General, this seems to be something wrong, the speed is too slow." This person is also one of Chen Hongjin's adopted sons, named Chen Qiting. He is now a lieutenant and is considered a person who is quite dependent on Chen He. Today, the first damaged siege car during the day was done by him. He is the one who knows a lot about siege cars.

"Maybe they can't see clearly at night. They even use very little torches, and I don't know what the hell." Chen He shook his head. It was a little slower, but it was reasonable. After all, it was night.

"Yes." After all, this siege car was driven by people. It seems reasonable to be slower at night. Chen Qidong nodded, thinking that he was thinking too much.

Chen He yawned and stared at the siege car opposite. The Jianzhou Army was really a little trick. The siege car that had just been destroyed during the day can be used on the battlefield again. It seems that the destruction will be further broken tonight.

"Major General, where is Qisi?" Although the battle was right in front of him, Chen Qitang couldn't help but ask, he had a good relationship with Chen Qisi, how could he bear to see him trapped in the enemy?

"I have my own plan to fight the battle in front of me first, otherwise everything will be stopped." Chen He shook his head. If he couldn't hold on, if they didn't die, they would probably have to stay with Chen Qisi, and maybe he would have to take care of him. I heard that Sun Yu usually goes to the mine to work in the mine. With Chen Qisi's skills, it should be easy.

"Yes!" Chen Qiting shook his head. They were unable to protect themselves at the moment.

Chen He stared at the siege car. The closer he got to the city, the slower the speed seemed to be. I don’t know if it really slowed down or his inner illusion. Although Tong'an County is also near the sea, it was winter after all, and the night was still a little cold. Chen He still saw sweat on his forehead, which was nervous. Turning his head to look at the soldiers around him, all of them were like this.

"Major General, what are they doing?" Chen Qitang felt that it was abnormal. The other party's siege car had basically stopped. Now there are still thirty steps away from the top of the city. It was almost half an hour and he walked twenty steps away.

"What?" Chen He hadn't reacted yet, he was just watching the siege car and forgot to calculate the time.

"Major General, they started to launch the attack at midnight. Now it's an ugly moment. We haven't started fighting yet." Chen Qitang said angrily. The night battle has been full of plans and has been a long time since it has been. Apart from some arrows and rains, they have never fought seriously.

"What? It's an ugly moment?" Chen He was shocked. It was more than two more hours before dawn, and he had only had an hour of sleep.

"How isn't it? I suspect this is the opponent's tired plan." Chen Qiting shook his head. It took more than an hour to toss here in the middle of the night. Now even if you return to the camp and wait until dawn, it will only be two hours.
