When it was dim, Feng'an City was shrouded in a thin layer of morning mist.W    w    W★.

Yang Hao and Yi sniffed in the South Gate Arrow Tower for a while. Tang Hu walked over and patted his shoulder. Yang Hao stood up in a hurry.

"You're not used to staying up late, but you'll get used to it after a long time."

Tang Hu walked to the top of the city and looked at the river. Yang Hao asked in confusion: "Dong Bazheng really crosses the river and attacks the city? There have been so many earthen walls and trenches built here, which is not suitable for the army's operations at all."

"Just relying on these earthen walls and trenches?" Tang Hu snorted disdainfully, "It's okay to block a few horse bandits. Thousands of people rushed over at once. What kind of formation is that? They just flattened it gently. This thing can't block the enemy, but will block your own way! I really don't know what our Marshal Zeng thinks."

Yang Hao was speechless. The biggest battle he had seen so far was when Meng Bochang sneaked into Meishan Mine on a snowy night. The scene of a horse galloping and a fierce military flag still existed in front of him. He was still frightened when he thought of it. However, the opponent was too weak and basically one-sided. Yang Hao could not imagine what a tragic situation would be like for tens of thousands of people fighting on the battlefield.

"Dangdang..."

The soldiers patrolling the river suddenly rang the bamboo clapper that called the police, and dozens of white sails appeared on the surface of the river.

"Where did he get the sailboat?" Tang Hu showed horror on his face.

"Teacher, is there anything wrong?" Yang Hao was also panicked.

"Report to Mr. Wu, Dong Bazheng had the navy assisted the war and transferred the Xicheng defenders to reinforce."

"yes."

"Come back!" Yang Hao turned around and left, but was called back by Tang Hu.

—————

Liu Xi was appointed as a marching army by Dong Bazheng and followed him to work. His 1,000 subordinates were assigned to the Pioneer Camp of the Flooding River by Dong Bazheng and scattered on one hundred wooden rafts.

The dusk dissipates and the stars sparsely. The sky gradually becomes brighter.

Liu Xi looked at the white sails on the river in front of him, and then looked back at Dong Bazheng who was looking into the distance on the platform. A sense of confusion arose in his heart. Dong Bazheng demolished all the houses in Shiba Village, Henan, built these hundred wooden rafts, and installed sails on each wooden raft. In order to make these hundred sails, he did not close his eyes for three days and three nights.

He didn't understand what the purpose of Dong Bazheng's hard work on pretending to be this white sail? The river surface is only more than three miles wide, and the water flows smoothly. Ten strong men paddled together, and a stick of incense passed. The wooden raft has a small target. It is thirty meters away. The defenders cannot see it at all. Installing sails on the wooden raft can improve sailing, but the premise is that someone can use sails. Dong Bazheng's soldiers are from Hedong, and most of them do not know the water nature. Few people will use the boat, let alone control the sails. No one can use it, so what to do with this thing? Is it just a bluff to scare the enemy?

Liu Xi couldn't figure it out, but it did not mean that the sails were really useless. At least from Dong Bazheng, they thought they were useful and useful. One hundred wooden rafts were arranged in a row on the southern bank of the river. Each wooden raft was equipped with twenty soldiers, ten soldiers paddling, five shield hands defended in front, and five archers were on the center and rear guard.

At the beginning of the Chen hour, the mist on the river surface dissipated. If you have a good look, you can see the flags flying on the watchtower on the other side.

"Please see, teacher, they are increasing their troops."

Deputy General Li Yufang pointed to the other side of the river excitedly. Although Dong Bazheng was sixty years old, his eyes were very good. He saw dozens of flags suddenly on the river beach opposite, and soldiers like ants were constantly rushing to the open space in the south of the city.

Suddenly, two fast horses rushed from the east and west sides, almost at the same time, and they rushed to the bottom of the stage. The two flag-firing soldiers quickly climbed onto the platform and reported in unison: "Report to the general, the left (right) battalion is ready to stop."

"Low sail, go to fight!" Dong Bacheng drew his sword and roared.

Amid the deafening sound of war drums, a hundred white sails fell at the same time. The sailors who had already held up a lot of energy flipped over and pushed the wooden rafts to rush towards the opposite shore like arrows off the strings.

There were thousands of Tiande defenders on the north bank of the river, and there were no less than two or three hundred archers, but the soldiers were unfamiliar with archery skills and were not brave enough. Seeing that the army was snatching the beach, everyone only dared to hide behind the earthen wall and shoot arrows randomly. Ten thousand arrows were all at once, and it was lively, but most of the arrows fell into the water, and not many shots were shot.

The Hedong Army archers on the wooden raft were all accurate in their archery skills. Although they could not beat hundreds of times, there were many people who scored five or six times. After a round of shooting, the soldiers of the Tiande Army were completely suppressed behind the earthen walls and in the trenches.

Seeing this, Dong Bazheng's favorite general Xiao Yong, who was commanding the crossing of the river, proudly said to his guard Xiao Mang: "Signal, tell the general that I have crossed the river smoothly." Xiao Mang piled up three piles of dry firewood on the river beach, first lit a pile in the middle, a thick red smoke rose, and then lit two piles on the left and right one after another, and rolling black smoke came out.

Xiao Mang said to his partner proudly: "It is said that the Tiande Army is a powerful force outside the border, why is it so vulnerable? Ha..." Before the laughter ended, a feather arrow suddenly broke through the air and shot him into his heart.

"Swoosh! Swoosh!" There were two more arrows, and Xiao Mang's two companions also fell down.

The one who shot the arrow was Yang Hao. At this moment, he was standing on the gatehouse of the largest camp in the south of Feng'an City. As soon as the three arrows were shot, he was forcibly mounted by four guards beside him. The gatehouse suddenly became the focus of the archers in Hedong. In a moment, thirty or forty arrows were hit on the wooden beam guardrail. Yang Hao looked at the dense arrowheads and couldn't help but explode his scalp.

"Escort Judge Yang away." Li Tong, the camp guard, shouted loudly.

The Hedong Army had burned down three camps along the river and rushed towards the main camp through the first earth wall.

"I won't leave until the last moment." Yang Hao yelled at Li Tong.

In just one stick of incense, there were still 1,500 Tiande Army soldiers in the south of the city, and in the blink of an eye, there were corpses everywhere. These newly recruited soldiers were no match for the Hedong soldiers who had been through battle formations for a long time. Xiao Yong saw this, but he was not careless at all. He sent four brigades to encircle the enemy and cut off the Tiande Army's retreat. The newly recruited soldiers were not ruthless to fight to the death when they were in desperate situations. They panicked and left their weapons and ran around.

The battlefield turned into a slaughterhouse. Xiao Yong opened his arms and hugged the 1,500 panicked soldiers into his arms and bit them. The screams were earth-shaking, the corpses of the new recruits filled the trenches, and the red blood gathered into a stream and flowed into the Yellow River.

Yang Hao gritted his teeth in hatred, beating his chest and cried: "Why should I send them here? Isn't this driving the sheep to welcome the tiger?"

Li Tong said helplessly: "This is the case with war. In order to win, you always have to pay a little price. I advise the judge to go back to the city, as this place cannot be kept."

Yang Hao said in tears: "Can others die and I can't die?"

Tang Hu originally planned to recruit new troops, the patrol camp and the governor's guards held on the high walls and deep moats for a period of time. After soaking up the spirit of the Hedong Army, he used the Tiande Right Army brought by Yang Hao from Yongfeng to fight him outside the city.

But Dong Xiancheng's abnormal behavior of deliberately choosing to cross the river during the day and erecting white sails on the river surface reminded Tang Hu that it was fake to cross the river and attack the city, and it was true to attract his main force. If Dong Bapril's main attack point was not in the south of the city, where would it be?

The west of the city! It must be the west of the city! There was a section of the city wall that had collapsed. Tang Hu went up to see that there was a deep gap between the newly built city wall and the old city wall. This was a fatal weakness! Although there was a small hill as a barrier in the west of the city, for the Hedong Army, which was mainly light infantry, it was as easy as walking on flat ground to cross this hill.

After seeing through Dong Bazheng's intention, Tang Hu reluctantly placed the newly recruited 1,000 soldiers in the south of the city to lure the enemy. Only by making Dong Bazheng convinced that he had placed the main force in the south of the city could he be able to attack him unprepared, and to defeat him with weak enemy strong, and to defeat him with two thousand people with two thousand people, otherwise the city would be destroyed and waiting for death.

When the fierce battle in the south of the city, Tang Hu stood on the arrow tower in the south of the city. He could see every detail of the battlefield clearly. He was looking forward to the moment when the three pillars of red smoke rose, which was the signal that Xiao Yong had won Dong Bazheng's victory: the main force of the Tiande Army had been restrained by me, and now he could cross the river to attack the city.

Xiao Yong was a veteran of the battlefield. Although the heads of the Tiande soldiers cut down had already piled up a hill, he still did not believe that this was the main force of the Tiande army. There was only one camp outside the south gate of Feng'an. A trench was dug around the camp, with a half-man-deep mud in the trench, and a wooden wall made of wooden stakes on the inside of the trench. There were no less than 300 troops stationed in the camp, with a strong bow and crossbow shooting down a piece of Hedong soldiers. When the fierce battle was in full swing, a battle flag was raised from the gate tower of the camp, which was the battle flag of the main general Liu Yifeng.

"It's really him!" Xiao Yong was overjoyed. He finally believed that the main force of the Tiande Army was in the south of the city!

Three pillars of red smoke rose into the air! Tang Hu on the top of the city finally breathed a sigh of relief and grinned.

"Rolle this nail for me."

Xiao Yong waved his hand contemptuously, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. What the real warriors most hope to see on the battlefield is not a group of enemies at the slaughter of others, but a real opponent.

Li Tong is now Xiao Yong's opponent.

The order to pull the nails quickly reached the grassroots team and the team, but the nails are nails. If you want to pull it out, why don’t it stab you? The soldiers of the Hedong Army howled and charged towards the lonely camp. The three charges were fiercer and fiercer, but they also lost more and more miserably.

A red hoop appeared around the lonely camp. The blood of the Hedong Jianer dyed the water in the trench red, and the corpses that were constantly filled forced the blood to the shore and ran around. The red hoop became thicker and thicker. Xiao Yong was also becoming more and more impatient. Finally, he stripped his armor and personally served as the captain of the fourth stormtrooper with a long knife. Dozens of school officials also joined the ranks.

"Woo--"

The horn sounded low, and the fourth charge of Hedong Jianer began...
