After listening, Yao Ruoyu smiled: "It seems that the fight has started at the East Gate."

"Chu Hao is arrogant and he is naturally unwilling to accept the defeat to Ren Jiasheng last time," said Xu Xuanrong disdainfully, "Now that Chu Kuangge is overthrowing the formation, he is naturally eager to attack the city, so he will be the first to break through the city gate and redeem his sins."

Shrugging, Yao Ruoyu laughed and said, "Although there are three sons of the Chu family there, Mad Dog, Siyu, Xunhuan, Zan, Abu and others are all in the third realm, which is not a pity. They are only worried that they will go out to the fourth realm."

"Maybe there will be, but there will definitely not be many. To enter the four realms, you need to break human obstacles. You are already a little successful master, so you can't lose it in such a place." Xu Xuanrong smiled.

Nodded, Yao Ruoyu turned his head and looked at Yang Gujun who was still calm outside the city, frowned and said, "I lost a small battle, why didn't there be any movement?"

After all, Chu Xuan's eyesight is not as good as Chu Zheng, so he could not see the problems of these iron nets. He had just led his army to attack once, but was slow to attack by the iron nets and ditches. He was also bombarded by the crossbows, and he left dozens of corpses and retreated.

Grinning, Yang Renjie said with a wicked smile: "Maybe Chu Dabangchui thought about abandoning the dark and turning to the light and came to join us. He was revealed by Chu Xuan, and then led his army to besiege him. In the end, he was defeated and captured. Now he is being questioned by the King of Chu!"

"You can write novels..." Yao Ruoyu smiled and said with a slight sense of slight silence.

Just as they were talking, Yang Gujun, who had been silent, finally made a move.

All the soldiers on the left side retreated and then began to camp. The soldiers on the right side of the square were divided into five. One of them was led by Chu Xuan and Chu Yuan to the first ditch, digging soil to fill the land, and the others rested on the spot.

Seeing this, Xu Xuanrong nodded slightly and chuckled, "It's still steady if you are not arrogant or impatient."

"You are as old as him!" Yao Ruoyu glanced at her and said with a smile.

"What's wrong?" Xu Xuanrong curled his lips slightly and said disdainfully.

Shrugged, Yao Ruoyu was too lazy to argue with her, so he turned to Yang Renjie and said, "Doudou, Mengmengda and I are responsible for dealing with the Five Realms and Chu Yuan, and you will be the one who commands it."

"Okay." Yang Renjie nodded carelessly, turned around and gave a few instructions to Jia Hang and Luo Jiaxin. The two of them immediately left separately. After a while, they saw the crossbows on the top of the city, and countless stone bullets rose into the air and smashed them out of the city.

Seeing the countless stone bullets flying over, Chu Yuan immediately curled his lips disdainfully. He wanted to pick up the war hammer to defend, but after thinking about it, he put down the war hammer, then grabbed the sword of the attendant beside him, aimed at a stone bullet and directly swung the knife out.

The sword made of stainless steel flew out of his hand, like a silver light, shattering a stone bullet directly into pieces. However, when the stone was shattered, the sword of stainless steel had been twisted into a ball of twisted flowers and could not be used at all.

"Haha, I know!" Chu Yuan said with a smug smile.

Because he is born with divine power, ordinary weapons will be destroyed in his hands within a few days. So over time, he simply uses inferior weapons. Anyway, they are all inferior, and it is not a pity if they are broken.

However, the war is imminent at this moment, so he naturally does not want to destroy his weapons, so he had a sudden inspiration and directly snatched the attendant's weapon as a hidden weapon. In this way, he can defend against stone bullets and not destroy his weapons. It is really a killing two birds with one stone.

Chu Yuan, who felt that he was interested, grabbed several swords and threw them out again in a deed, shattering several stone bullets.

But he was proud here, and the attendants beside him smiled bitterly. They were responsible for protecting Chu Yuan. As a result, before the battle was fought, the weapons were damaged by the people he wanted to protect. Moreover, those swords were made of stainless steel, so how could they be damaged by the mere stone bombs? The reason why they turned into a twist was completely caused by Chu Yuan's divine power.

After a while of struggle, Chu Xuan and others finally filled the first ditch, and then everyone retreated. More than 500 people immediately walked out of the four left before, and continued to fill the second ditch.

Because there are only about 500 people dispatched each time, and Chu Xuan deliberately dispersed the formation, almost most of the stone bullets shot out from the city were empty, and the rest were stopped by Chu Yuan and Chu Xuan, and only a few stone bullets hit people.

In this way, in just a few hours, Chu Xuan and others had landed four ditches in succession. And they did not land all the ditches, but only filled the middle section, allowing two square formations to quickly come under the city wall.

Yao Ruoyu and others couldn't help but nodded secretly when they saw this. Yao Ruoyu even sighed: "It is said that Chu Zheng's strategy is the five sons of the Chu family, but now look at it, Chu Xuan's strategy is not inferior to him at all!"

Yao Ruoyu didn't know that the attack at the East Gate was because Chu Hao insisted on attacking hard, and he thought that Chu Zheng had not seen through the role of the ditches and iron nets, so he sighed so much.

At this time, Yang Renjie was already strode in his armor and frowned and said, "Old demon, the situation is not good. If this happens, they will be able to open the road under the city wall tomorrow morning. Besides, their losses are not big. Even if we fight back desperately, they will lose at most a hundred people."

The crossbows in Hezhou City are not endless. There are only seventeen units on the South Gate. Only five or six units can hit people at each attack. Even if they attack continuously, they will kill up to a hundred people tomorrow morning, and they will not be able to hurt the opponent's bones at all.

After a smile, Yao Ruoyu explained: "The original purpose of laying out these iron nets and ditches was not for combat, but for disgusting them and consuming their physical strength. I never thought of relying on these things to fight in practice, so it doesn't matter."

Looking at the Yang Gu army soldiers outside the city who had transformed into a construction team, Yang Renjie grinned: "Then you mobilized a lot of people to hire people to dig for so long?"

"If it's not formal, how can Chu Xuan and the others work hard?" Yao Ruoyu smiled faintly, then looked at Xu Xuanrong, who pondered slightly and said, "Iron Net can be said to be a cavalry nemesis. I believe that with Chu Kuangge's eyesight, it will not be impossible to see this point. In this way, the other party will naturally value our wisdom more and take some attention."

Only then did Yang Renjie realize that Yao Ruoyu and Xu Xuan had made such a trick, mainly to show Chu Kuangge the talent of others, and to inspire the other party to cherish talent.

After glanced at Yao Ruoyu and Xu Xuanrong, Yang Renjie couldn't help but speak in a rude manner. He could see that although these two guys seemed to be missing everything, they had hidden a lot of thoughts. Even their classmates concealed them together. Such actions were simply... shameless!

*—*—*—*—*

Because of Chu Hao's stubbornness, they lost at least three hundred people in the first attack. In desperation, he could only follow Chu Zheng's advice and ordered the soldiers to dig mountain soil, fill ditches and clear iron nets.

Until dusk, seeing that Yang Gujun did not attack again, Yao Ruoyu knew that the other party planned to wait until the ditches were filled before attacking formally, so he instructed Yang Renjie to send people to pay attention to the movements outside the city at all times, and then returned to the city lord's mansion with Xu Xuanrong and others to have dinner and rest.

Yao Ruoyu and the others also knew that there were more than ten ditches and barbed wire outside the city, and the city was brightly lit, so there was no need to worry about the enemy attacking at night, but they were afraid that the other party would fill the ditches while the night was dark and then attack the city in advance, so people still needed to send surveillance.

Of course, Chu Xuan and others knew this, so they had no intention of overnight attacks at all. They directly asked the entire army to rest in the camp and continue to fill the ditches tomorrow.

However, after nightfall, Chu Hao asked Chu Dun to stay in the camp, and he took Chu Zheng to the Yanggu Army camp outside the south gate to discuss strategies for siege with Chu Xuan.

While they were discussing, Chu Kuangge and other generals from the Five Realms of the Army also sat on one side, but they would not speak out, but let the five sons of the Chu family wave.

Although the literary and artistic army occupied the two cities of Hezhou and Diaoyu at the same time, Diaoyu City is now guarded by Luojiaying and the remnants of the two tribes, and its overall strength is much higher than that of Hezhou City, so Chu Xuan and others did not have the idea of ​​turning to attack Diaoyu City.

Judging from the current situation, although the army is equal to that of Hezhou City, although it is as strong as one's own, its strength is weak. The only thing that needs to be afraid of is Yao Ruoyu's combat power that is enough to match the fifth realm and the opponent's tricks.

However, in Chu Hao's view, Hezhou City is now surrounded by groups, and the remnants of the two tribes have retreated to Diaoyu City. The literary and artistic army can be said to have no reinforcements. No matter how cunning Yao Ruoyu is, it is impossible to have any plans to reverse the situation.

Chu Yuan naturally agreed with this, but Chu Xuan and Chu Zheng were suspicious. After all, both of them were defeated by the Literary and Art Army. As the saying goes, the wise are afraid of planning, and the brave are afraid of power. The more skilled people are in wisdom, the more cautious they will be in this regard after failure, so they still suspect that Yao Ruoyu and others still have some backup plans.

Of course, after discussing for a long time, the focus of their disputes was on Yao Ruoyu, analyzing Yao Ruoyu's personality and his layout, but they didn't know at all that the layouts of these two times came from Xu Xuanrong, the chief clerk of Hezhou City who was not taken seriously by them.

In this era, women are often belittled. Even Cao Yuying, the number one chief clerk of Chongqing Prefecture, is often believed to have climbed to this position with the help of Xu Jingmiao, not to mention that he is the chief clerk of a small town in Hezhou, who has never been valued by them.

While the Chu family was discussing the lively discussion, Yao Ruoyu and others slept soundly in the city lord's mansion. Yang Renjie and Fu Feng only arranged soldiers to patrol and guard, and he led a few generals to the camp behind the city and fell asleep, not caring whether there would be night attacks outside the city.
