Chapter 1566
Time has slowly arrived in June, and the scorching sun above our heads is getting hotter and hotter, making it difficult to open our eyes. The war in Nanchong City is still going on, and there is no sign of letting up at all.
Many people died inside and outside the city. Smoke billowed from the top of the city. The damaged cloud chariot stood alone on the ground. There were many burnt corpses under the cloud chariot.
The stench emanating from the corpses was very unpleasant in this midsummer time. The Long army on the top of the city lived under this smell all the time, and some soldiers vomited day and night.
The eyes of the Long army who were responsible for defending the city changed from fear at the beginning to full of hope later, and then to confusion today. They didn't know how long this battle would last, and they didn't know when the Liang army would withdraw. They only knew
People are dying around us every day.
Sometimes two fellow villagers were chatting and laughing one moment, and the next moment they were beaten to pieces by the Liang army's rain of stones, and some even couldn't even put together a complete corpse.
There were some veteran ruffians in the Long Army on the city wall, and they had long since looked away. They were all joking among themselves, saying that if they could live longer, they would earn a day.
The imperial court initially promised them that they would send reinforcements, but a full month has passed and they have not seen a single soldier. Many people have lost confidence in the so-called reinforcements, including Fang Chengji, the strategic envoy of Shannan Road.
There was no expectation that the imperial court would send reinforcements.
In this offensive and defensive battle, make sure one side dies.

In the Liangjun camp, many military generals gathered together and gathered in front of the map. Most of the people here looked unhappy, especially Tiefeng, the leader of the camp.
In the past few days, he personally led his troops to the city more than ten times. Each time, he could stand on the top of the city and fight hand-to-hand with the Long Army. However, at critical moments, a group of reinforcements from the Long Army would always come out and repel them. In today's battle of climbing the city,
During the battle, Tiefeng's men lost a captain, which was the highest number of officers lost since the war began.
"Your Majesty, why don't you let the general lead a night attack today? If the enemy is not prepared, the top of Nanchong City will definitely be chewed down." Tiefeng said sinisterly and clenched his palms tightly into fists.
The captain who died in battle today had fought side by side with him for many years and had a deep relationship. Only he knew the pain in Tiefeng's heart.
Chu Yucheng gently patted Tiefeng's shoulder and said softly:
"Tie Feng, the prince knows that you are feeling bitter, but we cannot rush the siege of the city. The more urgent it is, the harder it will be to break the city. We cannot risk the lives of Sergeant Liang and soldiers to die in vain.
This guy Xun An is very cunning, and this method of sending troops to attack at night will never be able to hide it from his eyes."
"Alas~"
Tie Feng sighed and stood aside dejectedly.

Chen Yue's eyes have always been on Nanchong City. Before the war started, Chen Yue had a strange premonition that Nanchong City would not be that easy to fight. Unexpectedly, this prophecy has come true now.
During these days of siege battles, Chenyue basically watched the battles in person. The infantry who first climbed into the camp were absolutely as if they were dead, and there were no flaws in their tactics.
But no matter how you attack, the Long army on the top of the city will always respond in a measured manner.
When the siege vehicles come over, he will burn them. When you send soldiers to scale the city, they will rain arrows and throw stones. If you enter the city for hand-to-hand combat, he will gather superior forces to surround and destroy your troops.
It was really hard to fight.
Chen Yue said calmly: "The siege soldiers have worked hard these days. Starting from tomorrow, the army will retreat. For the time being, we will only besiege but not attack.
All major transportation routes between Nanchong City and the outside world are blocked, and no one is allowed to leave. The Great Liang Dragon Cavalry and the White Snow Guard must always be on alert for reinforcements coming from the direction of Gyeonggi Road."
Hearing this, Tiefeng became anxious and said in a deep voice:
"Your Majesty, I will go to the camp first and all the soldiers can still fight. I beg you, Your Majesty, not to drag us down!"
In the dictionary of Xiandengying, the word "give up" has never been mentioned. Chenyue has now ordered to stop the siege. In Tiefeng's eyes, it seems that Xiandengying has disappointed the prince.

"Haha~"
Chen Yue smiled and said calmly: "Tie Feng, don't be anxious, it's not that I don't believe in the ability to reach the camp first.
It is already midsummer. The weather is hot and the heat is unbearable. Countless army sergeants have died of heat stroke. At this time, it is no longer necessary to continue fighting.
It is better to let the soldiers withdraw, take a good rest, and wait for the weather to cool down before raising troops to attack the city again."
Tiefeng felt relieved, but still asked hesitantly:
"But wouldn't this give the Long Army in the city an opportunity to take advantage of?"
Although it is unfavorable to attack the city from the front, it at least puts great pressure on the Long army, and their losses are only much higher than that of the Liang army. If they stop attacking the city now, the Long army in the city will definitely recharge their batteries.
Fan.
"Humph, how can it be so easy to take a rest?" Chen Yue's lips curled up into a sneer:
"Tell the army that the catapults will pound the city every night so that they can't sleep peacefully."
Chu Yucheng involuntarily gave a thumbs up and said:

"Your Majesty still has something in his heart and a clever plan in his mind~"
"Hahaha." Everyone laughed together.
Chenyue rolled his eyes, put his palm on the map and said:
"Although we will not attack Nanchong City, not a single soldier in the city can leave, and even a bird cannot fly in without our permission.
The scouts reported that soldiers and horses were gathering at the border of Gyeonggi Province, perhaps reinforcements to reinforce Nanchong City, and told the crossbowmen to always pay attention to the movements of the Long army.
Daliang Longqi and Baima Yicong guarded the surrounding area according to the plan.
The entire army must find a shady place to camp and repair, and supply sufficient water to the entire army as soon as possible. Let’s fight again after the beginning of autumn!”
"promise!"
The generals who received the military orders left one after another, but Chu Yucheng stayed.
Chu Yucheng, who was wearing snow-white armor, smiled bitterly:

"Unfortunately, the prince's words are true. This Nanchong city is indeed a very hard nut to crack. The first people to enter the camp and the infantry of each army have killed at least more than a thousand good people in the past half month. All of them were ruthless.
A warrior who is not afraid of death."
"Xun An, they are all Xun An." Chen Yue's eyes gradually narrowed: "I can tell from the actions of the defenders defending the city that they are not elite soldiers. They can burst out with such strong fighting power and Xun An
It has a great relationship.”
"I've really seen a ghost." Chu Yucheng gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know how Fang Chengji dared to use this person. Isn't he afraid of destroying the city in one day?"
"For Fang Chengji, this is just a big gamble." Chen Yue said coldly: "If you lose the bet, you will die, but if you win the bet, it will really be a promotion to a noble title, and you will be favored by the emperor for the rest of your life.
Already."
"Headache." Chu Yucheng scratched his brow.
"Okay, don't think too much."
Chen Yue waved his hand gently and said: "Go and inform the supply camp to prepare more cold water, and dig more clean wells. In this midsummer, water sources are the most important.
Whether you are a soldier or a war horse, you must ensure the most basic physical strength."
"promise!"
