It was dark early in early spring, and at the end of Shen, it was already dark.

At the beginning of the You hour, Liu Deng ordered the soldiers to withdraw their troops and return to the camp.

——The military camp was temporarily built by military soldiers in the afternoon. The facilities were not very complete, but it was enough for soldiers to take a break.

After sieging the city for almost an hour, there was no specific progress except for sending some arrows and stones.

Seeing Liu Deng withdrawing the troops, Wu Ziwei on the top of the city breathed a sigh of relief. His waist was already straightened. He turned around and saw a mess: big and small stones were broken in the aisle on the city wall, and some were inserted into the cracks of the wall and bricks, and some were scattered among the stones. Because one was a cowhide defense, the other was the Guangling soldiers' afternoon offensive was not particularly fierce, so not many guards were injured and killed. The injured fell to the ground, and the injured were either tossing and groaning, or leaning against the battlements to stop the bleeding.

Without the order from the Chief Wu, someone had already sent an order to invite the civilians under the inner side of the wall to come up and carry the casualties down the city wall, pile them up or treat them nearby, and pack them up and pack them up and crossbow arrows. The crossbow arrows that can be used are gathered in a place, waiting to be distributed to each song for later use.

The sun sets westward and the sky is full of red clouds.

There was no idea when the wind blew through the city, bringing the chill after dusk.

Wu looked out of the city again and saw that the Guangling soldiers who were retreating to the camp were orderly and the flags were not chaotic, and they knew that it was difficult to attack, so it was fine. After a while, he ordered the soldiers to call the military marquises and Sima on the four walls, and prepared to hold a short meeting.

Soon, the Qujunhou and Sima arrived.

When the battle was held in the afternoon, Captain Wu shouted and issued military orders to adjust the deployment in order to better fight the enemy's defense, so his voice was a little hoarse now.

He put down the water in his hand, wiped off the water stains left on his mouth, and coughed twice, signaling to the arrival of Junhou. Sima gathered in front of him and said in a hoarse voice: "Liu Deng is famous, but so, I see that he is really weak and powerless in attacking the city today. I really don't know how he got the name of "Sitting in the Iron Room"! A attack like him, let alone three days and five days, even in three months and six months, you and I can try my best to stop it!"

This afternoon, Liu Deng's attack was not a real attack. One was tentative, and he used it to test the combat effectiveness of the guards, and the other was to attract the attention of the guards, so that Pan Zhang could attack at night, so the attack was not fierce.

After hearing what the guards of Wu said, the Sima all agreed with the military marquis who guarded the soldiers. Some people flattered Wu's words of wisdom and courage, and some people brag about their fearlessness and courage.

But there was also the clever one who saw that Liu and Deng’s attack today was not a real attack, and more of it should be a test. So he reminded Wu and said, “Captain, Liu and Deng have gained a reputation for being a false name, but Xun Guangling had a long battle, but he had to be wary of Liu and Deng, who had learned a few moves from him.”

Captain Wu asked, "What do you mean?"

"I heard that Xun Guangling had night attacks in the past wars. In my opinion, I must be warned that Liu and Deng had sneak attacks on our city tonight."

In fact, the Captain Wu also saw that Liu and Deng’s attack today was actually a test. What he said just now was just to boost morale. After listening to the person’s suggestion, he agreed and said, “You are right. Xun Guangling is very tricky in using troops, so he must be a little more careful……You guys, I will work harder tonight and make sufficient preparations for the defenses of each city wall and section to prevent Liu and Deng from attacking at night.”

The military marquis surrounding Wu's lieutenant, the Simas agreed in unison.

The night is coming quietly.

The smoke in Liu Deng camp curled, and the soldiers started to have supper.

The men in the city carried the load and climbed up to the top of the city, and also brought food to the guards.

The busy war scene in the afternoon disappeared completely with the arrival of night.

Under the faint moonlight, Huailing City was silent in and outside the city.

After dinner on both sides, there were more torches on the city at night. However, in response to the military order of Wu's lieutenant, in order to prevent Liu and Deng from attacking at night, the officers on the four walls of Huailing ordered the soldiers in this song to trches, which made the city clear. The contrast was that in Liu and Deng camp outside the city, except for the few fires, most of the areas in the camp were trapped in darkness.

Liu Deng and Pan Zhang boarded the nest car again, and Chen Zhi was also here with him.

As the night gets darker, the critical moment to decide whether the city can be successfully captured is coming. As the three of them, as the stairs of the battle tonight, the cavalry commander needs to observe the enemy situation before the war, and hold another military discussion on a small scale.

"The guards were smart and fired a lot of torches. They were obviously guarding against us for sneak attacks."

"What the lieutenant said is very much. However, if our army has the support of the group, the guards will only set off some torches, what's the use?"

Liu Deng looked at the night, then looked at the south city wall, and said, "It's getting late, so Que Xuan's people should be ready."

Since getting on the nest car, Pan Zhang has been looking at the movements of the south city wall from afar, and replied: "No signal has been sent yet."

As early as before the war, Guo Jia and Que Xuan had agreed on internal operation methods.

There are two methods, one is for Huailing and the other is for Xu County.

The operation methods for Huailing are:

First, the specific location of the inner response is set at the southern city wall, and the specific time of the inner response is set at the second update at night; second, the Guangling soldiers will arrive around noon; again, when Guangling soldiers arrive, Que Xuan's party members can start preparing; finally, when the night is at night, Que Xuan's party members who are ready can use the fire to send signals to the Guangling soldiers. When they see the fire, the Guangling soldiers sneak into the night attack.

The reason why the fire light was used to transmit signals was because considering that the city might be on high alert when it was about to attack Huailingling, and Que Xuan's party members might not be able to sneak out of the city to make an appointment with Guangling soldiers in person, so they chose to use fire light as the number.

After looking at the south wall for a while, Liu Deng turned to outside the north wall.

The fire was shining brightly on the northern city wall, and the wilderness outside the moat was pitch black.

Liu Deng said to Chen, "How are your soldiers resting?"

Chen replied: "All people and horses have enough energy to raise their energy and can fight at any time."

"Then you can take them to ambush outside the North City Wall now."

Chen immediately agreed.

"Remember, when going to ambush, you must wrap your horse's hooves, hold a piece of horses, and hold the mouths, so as not to disturb the city."

"promise!"

Chen immediately saluted and got off the nest car first.

The cavalry in his song had already gathered and was waiting for his military order. When he arrived in front of the song, he checked the soldiers' equipment and immediately ordered: "Go away."

Although there are not many torches in the middle of the camp, Liu and Deng lived on high places. With the moonlight, they could vaguely see the situation of Chen Zhiqu’s knight coming out of the camp. Nearly two hundred knights coming out of the camp, although they were silent, it was precisely because of the lack of sound that they added a solemn and murderous aura.

At this moment, Pan Zhang whispered: "The fire is bright!"

Liu Deng turned his gaze and looked at the south city wall again. He saw three fires next to the city wall, one bright and one destroyed at the same time. Not long after, one bright and one destroyed at the same time. This repeated, it was clear and one destroyed three times in total.

This is the pre-arranged code.

Pan Zhang couldn't hide his excitement. He barely suppressed his voice and said, "Captain, the signal from the city has been sent, I'll take the warriors here!"

"Go."

Pan Zhang saluted and couldn't wait to get off the nest car. The warriors he selected who attacked the city with him gathered next to the nest car. After getting off the car, he didn't say much, and soon took the more than a hundred warriors away from the nest car and sneaked out of the camp to the south wall.

First, he watched Chen Jili leave the camp, and then Pan Zhang leave the camp. Even though Liu Deng had been through the battlefield for a long time, he was alone in the high car, and his eyes were chasing Chen Ji, sometimes chasing Pan Zhang, and sometimes looking at the quiet city. He also clenched his fists.

He thought to himself: "Xia Pi, the East China Sea is defeated, and Xuzhou will be in the lord's bag. If you lose, Guangling may be in danger. As Guo Sima said in the military discussion before the war: 'Winning will be like a dragon', and defeat will fall into the nine abyss'. Now attacking Huailing is the first battle. Whether it can be defeated quickly is of great importance. I must not let my lord down the lord's expectations and must take down this city for the lord!"
