Zongwu: My business is to engage people

Chapter 77 Confused

"I said,"How dare Zhuo Tianliu, a mere 100,000 people, attack our Xinyou City?" It’s really not that so-called. Let's go back and drink."

"ah?"

The Lord of Xinyou City looked at Sun Cheng who was leaving, then at the soldiers training below the city, and quickly followed him.

However, as soon as the two returned to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, a soldier hurried over.

"Report, General, the enemy has begun to attack the city again."

"What?"

Sun Cheng snorted coldly, turned around and walked towards the city tower.

Although he saw that this was Zhuo Tianliu's trick, he was cautious after many years of fighting, so he still had to take a look before he could rest assured. If Zhuo Tianliu really attacked the city, he would But he went to the city lord's palace for fun and caused the destruction of Xinyou City. This crime was unbearable.

However, as expected, when he stepped onto the city tower again, he saw Zhuo Tianliu's people training again.

Sun Sun Teeth itching with sincerity and hatred

"Little boy, just play! Let me see what tricks you can come up with."

As he said that, he turned around and walked towards the city lord's mansion again. This time, even the lord of Xinyou City saw the clues. Zhuo Tianliu didn't really want to attack the city, but was sneaking around to play with them. Suddenly, the worries in his heart disappeared.

Then. Every other hour, Zhuo Tianliu would let his 10,000 troops take turns pretending to attack the city, but every time they were out of the range of the archers. In this way, the city was not attacked once, but the defenders on the city wall were suffering terribly. After saying that, he didn't dare to let down his guard. If it happened for real, it would be a big deal.

On the contrary, Sun Cheng completely saw Zhuo Tianliu's tricks and led a group of generals to continue having fun in the city lord's palace. Not worried at all.

In Zhuo Tianliu's temporary camp, several generals took turns looking at each other, and one of them couldn't help but ask

"General Zhuo, does it make sense for us to pretend to attack the city every time?

Zhuo Tianliu said calmly:"I have my own reasons for doing this, don't worry!" You will find out soon."

Actually, he was also full of question marks, because he was also acting under orders!

If this is to make Xinyou City relax its vigilance, it will be enough after so many false attacks on the city! Could it be that the Marquis is pulling 100,000 people? Why don't you go out for a sightseeing trip?

"Report... Report to the general, there is an urgent report from the camp."

Zhuo Tianliu immediately jumped up

"Get it quickly."

After Zhuo Tianliu read the letter, he couldn't restrain the excitement on his face.

"So that’s it. As expected of the Marquis, he has sent orders to the army to prepare for the official attack on the city at midnight tonight."

……

The night gradually enveloped the city, but Zhuo Tianliu's pretend siege was still not over. The only thing that changed was that it used to be siege once an hour, but now it was siege once every hour and a half.

In the main hall of the city lord's palace, Sun Cheng was already slightly drunk, holding the beautiful singer in his arms and enjoying the bliss of the world normally.

"General, please have another drink!"

The beautiful singer's charming eyes made Sun Cheng feel confused. If it weren't for the sound of siege coming from outside from time to time, he would have captured the beauty long ago, and the spring night would be over.

"Little beauty, you……"

Sun Cheng was teasing the singer's pretty face when he suddenly saw the Lord of Xinyou City running in in a hurry.

"General, something bad has happened. We just discovered Qi Tianhou’s army in the city."

"What?"

Sun Cheng was half awake from the wine immediately. How could there be enemy troops in the city? Could it be that the city gate has been breached?

"how many people?"

"more than ten."

Sun Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, there are only a dozen

"Did you catch it?"

The Lord of Xinyou City shook his head:"The people who ran away were all masters. After being discovered by the patrolling guards, those people fled directly towards the city wall, jumped off the city wall and escaped."

"Those who can jump off the city wall are at least fifth-level masters. Does Jiang Yuan want to sneak into the city and carry out an assassination?"

Sun Cheng frowned. He was not afraid of assassinating him at all. Not to mention that he was a third-level master. He was also protected by strong men from the Blood Moon God Sect. The killer couldn't get close at all.

"No... No, City Lord, how did you discover those people?"

"Tunnel, they came out of the tunnel"

"Big things are bad."

Sun Cheng's face changed greatly. Jiang Yuan's battle to become famous was to empty out all the Tiger Leaping City. Now another tunnel has been discovered in Xinyou City. Could it be that Jiang Yuan has already dug countless tunnels from outside the city to the city, leading to Can the army attack directly?

"Quickly...immediately send an order to the entire army to search every house, every plant and tree in the city. If any tunnels are found, they will be sealed on the spot."

"Report... General Qi, the enemy has begun to attack the city again, and this time it is not a pretend attack, but a real attack."

Sun Cheng was furious.

"Zhuo Tianliu, who is so treacherous, secretly cheated on Chen Cang. Send an order to the defenders at the other three city gates to send half of their men to help."

"City Lord, I will allocate 10,000 people to you. Immediately conduct house-to-house inspections in the city, and we must not let go of any suspicious corners."

……

After a night of fighting, no one could sleep well.

When dawn broke across the horizon, the city walls were already stained red with blood, and corpses lay everywhere. The city wall wasn't that good either, there were blood stains everywhere, and many of the soldiers guarding the city were injured.

Sun Cheng leaned against the wall tiredly, his face still stained with blood.

Although Zhuo Tianliu only attacked the city twice last night, the virtual and real siege left them confused and suffered heavy losses.

Three thousand soldiers were killed alone, not counting those who were seriously injured and unable to fight anymore.

The Lord of Xinyou City has also been busy all night, his eyes are blood red and his expression is extremely haggard.

"General Sun.

Sun Cheng raised his eyelids and asked,"How?""

"After a night of investigation, Dongcheng has been thoroughly swept. Numerous tunnels were found and are now sealed. We encountered more than 20 enemy troops and killed five of them. The rest all escaped."

"Only twenty people?"

Sun Cheng stood up all of a sudden

"No, what can more than twenty people do? It cannot change the overall situation at all. You just checked Dongcheng, what about other places? Didn't you check?"

The Lord of Xinyou City smiled bitterly and said:"The city is so big, it is good that ten thousand people can check the East City in one night. The soldiers are exhausted, how can they still have the energy to check other places!"

Sun Cheng's face changed greatly when he heard this. He didn't check other places. Doesn't that mean that enemy troops have sneaked into the city and are ready to attack? They will just wait for the next attack to come and they will cooperate inside and outside. Then isn't Xinyou City in danger?

But now my 70,000 people have been tired all night and are already exhausted.

"No, Zhuo Tianliu was not feinting, he really wanted to attack Xinyou City, and then marched straight in to seize Pingzhou. We were all deceived by Jiang Yuan. Mingzhou's army must have come here, hurry up... inform the commander immediately, Jiang Yuan's purpose is to capture Pingzhou"

"In addition, people were sent to Shuiyue City and Jinguang City nearby, asking them to send troops to support immediately, otherwise Xinyou City would be in danger."
