Stand-in eunuch: I pamper the harem for the emperor

Chapter 796
In such heavy fog, the visibility is very low, and the rifle needs to be aimed before shooting. It is indeed not the best time to attack the city.

Baiya City is also a strong city, and there are many bows and arrows, stone stones, sleepers, tung oil and other standing supplies for city defense.

Now that the rifles are useless, the soldiers of the Chinese Empire must pay a heavy price if they want to attack the city.

Zheng Guohua gave an order, and Zheng Guohua's soldiers immediately climbed up the city wall and entered a defensive position.

well deserved...

The rumble of horse hooves in the distance was deafening. It was obvious that the cavalry of the Chinese Empire had arrived.

Lu Hao took the lead, leading the army to gallop forward. Due to his blocked vision, only vision like Lu Hao could lead the way.

Of course, Lu Hao's purpose in leading the way was to use his martial arts to forcefully blow away the fog and form a passage with slightly higher visibility in the middle.

Thousands of horses are galloping, and the earth is shaking!
Zheng Guohua on the city wall and all the soldiers guarding the city were also nervous.

However, they can't see it at all, and they have no way of knowing what the Chinese Empire's army is doing?
Lu Hao penetrated the fog at a glance and saw General Zheng on the city wall. However, he did not stop, but led his army directly around the east gate and headed towards the south gate.

"General, it seems they crossed the east gate and went to the south gate?"

A lieutenant shouted.

"South Gate? They must have thought that the defense of the South Gate was weak, so they turned to the South Gate. Go and have a look. If they attack, report back to the general immediately."

Zheng Guohua ordered loudly.

"As ordered!"

The deputy general left in a hurry.

Lu Hao and his army quickly arrived at the south gate, without stopping, but headed towards the west gate.

The entire Chinese Empire's army was galloping around the outskirts of Baya City, with iron hooves flying and dust flying. It seemed that the entire Baya City was trembling.

The soldiers guarding the city wall could not see the shadow of the Chinese Empire soldiers at all. The unknown fear and oppression made people even more nervous, and even their breathing became more rapid.

"Not good! The Chinese Empire's army seems to have gone to the west gate. Did they guess that the west gate has the least guards?"

Zheng Guohua was shocked when he heard the sound of horse hooves.

However, there were still a lot of hoofbeats coming from the east and south gates. Emperor Yongtai might want to confuse the situation by making false claims.

In this foggy weather, Zheng Guohua really can't tell the key offensive direction of the Chinese Empire.

Maintaining the status quo!

"Hehe... I don't believe that you don't attack the city. As long as you start to attack the city, I will be able to judge the direction of your main attack based on the intensity of the attack."

Zheng Guohua was confident and did not panic at all.

After all, mobilizing large army support in the city has a short distance and fast speed. No matter which direction the Chinese Empire attacks, reinforcements can be received in time.

Why did General Zheng only arrange to defend three city gates?Because the North Gate is not connected to the other three gates and is separated by two mountains, there is no need to worry about the Chinese Empire attacking the North Gate.

Lu Hao quickly arrived at the west gate, but instead of attacking the city, he led his army towards Ding City in the west.

However, the soldiers on the city wall could not clearly see the movements of the Central Army, and could only wait passively, waiting for the soldiers of the Chinese Empire to start attacking the city.

"The sound of horse hooves is gradually getting quieter. Is it possible that the attack on the city is about to begin?"

General Zheng Guohua secretly speculated.

Soon, the sound of horse hooves outside the city disappeared and it became completely quiet.

"All soldiers, prepare! The enemy may start to attack the city!"

Zheng Guohua shouted loudly.

The entire garrison on the tower suddenly became nervous. Everyone tightened their weapons, and even Zheng Guohua's hand touched the sword at his waist.

silence!Deathly silence!

It's a pity that there is heavy fog outside and the visibility is too low. I don't know what is going on outside the city, so I can only wait hard.

The situation at South Gate and West Gate is similar.

"General, why is there no movement outside?"

A deputy general suddenly spoke in a low voice. "Come here, send someone out of the city immediately to take a look."

Zheng Guohua seemed to realize something.

"Yes, General."

The deputy general responded loudly and turned around.

After a moment, the deputy general hurried back.

"General Qi, there is no one outside the city, not even a ghost."

"What? Not even a ghost? What's going on?"

Zheng Guohua was suddenly stunned.

All the soldiers looked at each other in confusion.

Suddenly, Zheng Guohua slapped his thigh suddenly and exclaimed: "No! They crossed over to Bai Ya City and went to Ding City."

"Ding City? Why are they going to Ding City? Aren't they going to attack Bai Ya City?"

The deputy general still didn't react.

"We have very few defenders in Ding City. If they attack Ding City, it will be over!"

Zheng Guohua was immediately shocked.

"General, if they occupy Ding City, we can attack them from both sides and surround them."

The deputy general said in a deep voice.

"Surround them? Are you stupid! The low and small walls of Ding City are completely undefendable. They will definitely attack Xunyang City, the capital of the country."

Zheng Guohua's face became unusually heavy when he thought of this.

"Then what do we do?"

As soon as the deputy general heard that the Chinese Empire was attacking Xunyang City, he immediately became anxious.

"Go down with the order, gather the army, and attack Ding City!"

Zheng Guohua felt that he could hold the enemy back from behind, at least not allowing the Chinese Empire to attack Xunyang City unbridled.

In a short time, all the defenders of Bai Ya City knew that the Chinese Empire was attacking Xunyang City, and they became as anxious as Zheng Guohua.

Lu Hao led the army all the way across Bai Ya City and headed towards Ding City.

From Bai Ya City to Ding City, it is about half a day's journey. The terrain along the way is still mountainous, but the altitude is gradually decreasing.

If you go all the way west, you will reach Xunyang City, where the terrain is basically hilly.

There are many streams and rivers here, and there are also many stone arch bridges. However, the road can definitely accommodate three or four carriages side by side, so the marching speed is very fast.

In this foggy weather, many people heard the sound of so many horse hooves and thought it was the imperial army mobilizing, completely unaware that it was the army of the Chinese Empire.

After coming out of Baya City, there is a valley area of ​​about five kilometers, with gentle slopes of 45 degrees on both sides, called Sagapo.

"Call..."

Lu Hao reined in the horse.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

Xuanyuan Lingyu also quickly reined in the horse and asked loudly.

"General Xuanyuan, call all the generals over. I have something to say."

Lu Hao ordered loudly.

The first main force of the Empire's Central Army was originally equipped with twelve generals, each leading 500 people. After Cao Ming and another general led the army to capture Dancheng, they continued south to join the army led by General Ding.

Therefore, only ten generals are present now, including former veterans Zhou Yuan and Wang Mian.
