Before daylight, Wu's army was already pressing forward in darkness.

Cao Liang rushed to the top of the city as soon as possible. Wang Ji and the county soldiers guarding the city were already ready. Cao Liang looked down from the crenellations of the city wall and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

Although he had already experienced the Anfengdu breakout battle, that battle was fought on flat ground. Although Cao Liang knew that the Wu army had a large number of troops, he did not have an intuitive feeling as to how large it was.

Standing on the city wall now, I saw Wu Jun's black army was like locusts passing through, covering the mountains and plains, overwhelming the sky, like streams of black lava, slowly flowing towards Anfeng City. Although the speed was not fast, wherever the torrent went,

It seems like it can swallow up everything.

But Wang Ji had a calm look on his face. This was not the first time that Wu Army besieged a city. He was already familiar with Wu Army's siege tactics, so no matter how many troops Wu Army sent, Wang Ji would still respond calmly.

Not only Wang Ji, but even the county soldiers guarding the city showed no signs of nervousness at all. They held their swords, guns, bows and arrows tightly and stood ready, waiting for Wang Ji's order to fire their bows and arrows.

In addition, the rolling wood and stones, boiling oil and boiling water used to defend the city were fully prepared. The city wall that was damaged a few days ago has been restored to its original appearance after two days of repairs.

Cao Liang couldn't help but secretly admire Wang Ji's courage. He led the garrison of only seven to eight thousand (this number was before the war started. It is estimated that after several days of continuous fighting, Anfeng City no longer had that many soldiers and horses), he dared to fight with several soldiers.

Tens of thousands of enemy troops were competing against each other. If it were other generals, just looking at the enemy's formation would probably have scared the shit out of them.

Wang Ji, on the other hand, remained unmoved and calm, indeed having the demeanor of a famous general.

"Prefect Wang, when can our conquering southern army go into battle?" Ren Lan asked with his hands raised.

Although it is said that the rank of General Zhengnan is higher than that of the Anfeng Prefect, Wang Ji is in Dihu at the moment and is familiar with the defense of Anfeng City, so Ren Lan takes the initiative to hand over the command to Wang Ji and defend the city.

, he dispatched all the troops to conquer the South.

Wang Ji smiled brightly and said: "The conquering southern army has come a long way. Let's rest for the time being. The matter of defending the city will be left to our army first. When necessary, it will not be too late to join the battle."

Wang Ji is still very confident in his own troops. If there is no Zhongnan Army, Anfeng City will still be defended. At best, he will use the Zhongnan Army as a reserve force. Unless it is absolutely necessary, he will

The Confederate Army will not be used lightly.

This is where Wang Ji's arrogance lies. Anfeng City is his territory, and he wants to prove to others that even without reinforcements, Wang Ji can still defend Anfeng City.

Ren Lan didn't say anything else. After all, Wang Ji was the host and they were guests. Even if the Southern Conquest Army had a large number of soldiers and horses, and its strength was higher than that of Anfeng County soldiers, they still couldn't do it. Since Wang Ji

Ji has made arrangements, they just need to follow orders.

Ren Lan went down to the city. He needed to coordinate many affairs of the Southern Conquest Army. Although the Southern Conquest Army did not immediately join the battle, they at least had to be prepared to respond to the enemy and be ready to order at any time.

Cao Liang did not go down to the city, but stayed on the front line of the city with his personal guards.

Participating in war itself is a learning process. Some things can never be learned from military books. Only by personal experience, personal witnessing and personal experience can we learn real things.

Cao Liang has experienced field battles and fought breakout battles, but this was his first time experiencing city offensive and defensive battles, the most important method of warfare in the cold weapon era. Therefore, Cao Liang stayed on the city wall more to learn.

.

Wang Ji did not refuse, but he also did not assign any tasks to Cao Liang, and seemed to regard Cao Liang as an observer.

Wu Jun's siege equipment has not changed much. The most numerous ones are still the crude ladders. Most of these ladders were made by Wu Jun overnight by cutting down wood from the surrounding mountains and forests. There are still barks on the ladder wood.

, the production is extremely rough.

It’s true that you don’t wash the mud when the radish is fast. In order to rush to make this batch of ladders, Zhuge Ke mobilized almost all the soldiers in the general who had some carpentry skills. Naturally, the ladders produced were mixed.

.

But Zhuge Ke didn't care. These ladders were used to attack the city, not for viewing. They just needed to be used. Anyway, these ladders were disposable consumables and would be thrown away after the battle.

.

The lack of siege equipment can only be made up for by the bravery of the soldiers. However, Zhuge Ke is still full of confidence in the Danyang soldiers under his command. If we want to talk about being able to conquer and fight well, I am afraid that no soldier in the world can defeat the Danyang soldiers.

What's more, he has already put out a huge reward. Under the big reward, there must be a brave man. This sentence is more effective for Danyang soldiers.

Danyang soldiers come from the remote mountains of Danyang County, where the people are fierce and brave.

The key reason why the Shanyue people here are very powerful is that the mountains in Danyang County are dangerous and the land is barren. If the people here want to survive, they must fight against the sky, the earth, the wolves, insects, tigers, leopards, wild beasts, and other tribal mountain people.

Fighting, poor mountains and harsh waters bring out unruly people, it is not false at all.

Most of the Danyang soldiers recruited in the past were mountain people from the edge of Danyang County, but it was these mountain people who gave the Danyang soldiers the reputation.

Since Zhuge Ke became the governor of Danyang, he went deep into the mountains of Danyang, used both suppression and appeasement, and used both kindness and power. In the end, more than 100,000 Shanyue people moved out of the deep mountains and old forests where they had lived for generations. Zhuge Ke even selected the best of them, selecting 40,000.

Strong warriors joined the Wu army.

These Danyang soldiers live in the deep mountains and old forests all year round, without food or clothing, and live in extreme poverty. I am afraid that their lifelong ideal is to raise a few cattle and plant a few acres of land, so that they can live without worries about food and clothing.

That's enough.

In the face of a huge reward, how could these Danyang soldiers not be jealous? Danyang is known for its bravery and unafraid of death in normal wars. I am afraid they are even more jealous now. If they all rush to kill with all their lives, who in the world will

Can it be defeated?

The black torrent continued to surge towards the bottom of Anfeng City, and soon approached the trench of Anfeng City.

Not all cities have moats. Excavation of moats is expensive, so generally only some large cities have moats. Many small and medium-sized cities have no moats around the cities, only some trenches several feet deep to block enemy attacks.

These trenches are generally not too wide. The narrowest part is only five or six feet, and even the widest part is no more than ten feet.
