Regarding night battles, it is said that ancient soldiers were all night blind and had water in their heads. They just flipped through historical books and recorded various night battles recorded in all dynasties, whether they were siege or encounters in the wild. The reason why night battles occur less often is because they are inconvenient to command and rely too much on the personal quality and discipline of soldiers, especially long-distance raids and stealing camps, it is easy to steal chickens but lose rice, kill 800 enemies and lose one thousand of them.

However, in a siege battle like Qiantang, the imperial army had an absolute advantage. There were safe ranges of activities two hundred meters outside the city, and troops could be arranged calmly, so the danger of night battles was almost negligible compared to the possible benefits.

After nightfall, the tent was brightly lit. Xiao Yushu was wearing well-made bright light armor and stood tall, looking majestic and heroic. There were dozens of generals standing on both sides, each wearing armor without making a sound. But after the rest of his life, the murderous aura emitted on his body was enough to prevent the birds from flying and frogs and insects from singing.

Wang Chun sat next to him as a military supervisor, frightened by the atmosphere in the tent, and his mouth squirmed a few times, silently speaking, and wisely chose to watch from the wall.

"The left army is responsible for attacking Xicheng. Yu Shishi was pressing against the entire army, regardless of casualties or cost. Anyone who takes one step back will be killed!"

The left army leader immediately stepped out of the line, and the armor made a clamor, clasped his fists with his hands, and responded loudly: "No! Obey the general's order!"

"At the moment of the first time, the front army attacked the Nancheng, erected torches and beat drums constantly, creating the momentum of the main attack, but in fact they were feinted attacks to lure the enemy. When they heard the thunder in the north city, they could change feinted attacks into general attacks, regardless of casualties or cost. Anyone who takes a step back will be killed!"

The former army leader took a step and stood side by side with the left army leader, saying: "No! Obey the general's order!"

"The rear army ambushed in the southwest corner. When the city breaks, chase and kill the white thieves who escape from the west and south. No one of them is allowed to escape the net!"

"No! Follow the general's order!"

Xiao Yushu paused and looked at Zhu Zhi, the first in the lower left. Zhu Zhi was originally the general of Zhendong, responsible for commanding 100,000 soldiers from the prefectures and prefectures, conquering the white thieves in southern Yangzhou, and then joined forces with Xiao Yushu. His general was under Xiao Yushu. After the two of them joined forces, Zhu Zhi recovered several counties and had too high prestige, which caused many orders to go out and failed to govern. The arrogant generals under his command mocked the soldiers of the central army. Xiao Yushu took advantage of the situation to seize his military power. After reorganization, Zhu Zhi was appointed as the head of the Right Army as General Zhendong.

Although the court had a clear order before, the two armies worked together after they met. If there were any differences, Xiao Yushu would be the main one, but he did not let him annex the 100,000 prefectures and states. Strangely, in the face of Xiao Yushu's aggressiveness, Zhu Zhi did not resist at all, took the initiative to hand over the military power, and was ranked as the leader of the army with the title of General Zhendong. He was even more obedient than sheep. How could he have the style of Jiangdong slaughtering people?

Since Zhu Zhi did not express his objection, the court was happy to see that he had accomplished and tacitly agreed to Xiao Yushu's behavior of overcoming power. Later, he issued a document to clearly express the unified delivery of military power to Xiao Yushu. The purpose was to form a joint force between the two armies and eliminate the white thieves as soon as possible.

Zhu Zhi was so smart. From the moment he decided to delegate power, he was destined to not have any confrontation with Xiao Yushu, took the initiative to leave, and said respectfully: "North City is the main attack direction tonight. Please give this honor to the Right Army. If you cannot break the city on time, please come and see me!"

"General Zhu is so serious!"

General Zhendong is not the miscellaneous generals who cannot put on the table. Xiao Yushu must at least maintain his respect and politeness to Zhu Zhi on the surface and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, I'll work hard for the general. Tonight, the North City will be handed over to the Right Army. When he heard the thunder sounding in the sky, delaying the incense stick, he will immediately launch an attack with my commanding flag!"

"promise!"

Xiao Yushu issued seventeen general orders in succession, with a total of thirty-seven killings. The thick killing intention of cold and sultry summer turned into cold winter snow. It can be said that this siege, from top to bottom, was destroyed and the fate would be achieved if it failed!

"The battle tonight is related to the battle situation in Yangzhou. I won. I guarantee you wealth and glory in this life; I lost..." Xiao Yushu slowly stood up, his divine light was restrained, and he could not see any emotional fluctuations. He pulled out his long sword from his waist, placed it horizontally on the table, and said, "I will kill you all first, and then go to the Lord to apologize!"

The generals were shocked, and they clasped their fists in unison and shouted, "Don't die!"

As the middle approached, there was no moon in the sky and stars in the sky. Xiao Yushu's central army moved forward several miles, only 800 meters away from the city wall. If the front was defeated, it would be a charge, and the white thief could take his commanding flag.

However, if it really reaches that point, Xiao Yushu will die if he escapes back. It would be better to die at the hands of the white thief, and he can still get the honor after death.

Xu You and Zu Yan were invited by Xiao Yushu to watch the battle on the temporarily pushed earthen mountain. Zu Yan was unwilling to waste time, but considering the effect of checking the Thunderbolt Cannon on the spot, he still came to the front of the formation reluctantly.

"Weizhi, what do you think of the chances of winning tonight?"

When Wang Chun heard Xiao Yushu's question, he felt that Xu You and Zu Yan were not qualified to be in front of him, nor was he qualified to participate in military aircraft. He was very rude in his words and said, "General Xiao, I just felt that your military was strict in the tent, but why did he discuss military affairs with these lowly people at this time? Could it be that you were leading the three armies to fight in this way? No wonder you can't even defeat a Qiantang City!"

Xiao Yushu frowned and said, "This is Xu You from the Xu family of Yixing. In terms of family background, he is probably far superior to the military supervisor. This is the lieutenant colonel's office, and his ancestor was once a master craftsman and was also a scholarly scholar for generations. What is a humble person?"

"you!"

Wang Chun was born into a branch of the Wang family of Langya. When he was traveling south, the Wang family was destroyed. Although he had relied on more than a hundred years and had gained a foothold in Jiangdong, he was no longer the first-class gentry. If he really talked about the noble and humbleness, he would naturally not be as good as the Xu family of Yixing. However, the words of exposing people's scars in person were too harmful to his self-esteem. He blushed and said angrily: "The general's words are very wrong. The Xu family of Yixing has committed a rebellion and has been removed from his gentry. As for the orders of the lieutenant colonel, he was just a minor official who was from the ninth rank, and even the generals were only a carpenter who was charming the master with his extraordinary skills and tricks, and he was a companion to prisoners all day long. If such a person is considered a gentry, he would really lose all the face of the gentry."

He was angry and spoke without saying anything. Zu Qi never competed with others, but his chest was almost burst by a few words. He had no choice but to speak clumsy and feared that the following would cause trouble for his family, and he could not refute it for a while.

"Oh, the general who was a rank of two thousand stones in the court was just a lowly person in the eyes of the military supervisor. Those people under two thousand stones may be worse than pigs and dogs in the military supervisor's eyes?" Xu You smiled and said, "Mr. Zu, remember this sentence. In the future, when you return to Jinling, you can find someone to judge. If everyone agrees with the military supervisor, we have nothing to say, but if everyone disagrees, then we will join everyone to find the military supervisor to seek justice!"

Xiao Yushu said with a smile: "Yes, I can testify for you!"

Wang Chun was choked to death by Xu You, and his eyes began to become bad when he looked at him, saying, "Xu You, why are you so active in the military affairs? But he is very resentful about the Xu family's punishment and deliberately makes friends with General Xiao?"

When a literati opened his mouth, he was worthy of being the best censor who was good at verbalizing and labeling. Xu You's expression remained unchanged and said, "The master is a magnificent and wise man, and who is loyal and who is singular, and knows it in his heart. How can he listen to the words of some people on one side?"

Wang Chun snorted a few times, thinking that this kid doesn't know the world is so strong that when he returns to Jinling, a memorial can kill you. He already has murderous intentions in his heart, and thinks it is easier to pinch Xu You to death than to kill an ant. By the way, he can also pull Xiao Yushu off and cause some trouble for him.

Why not kill two birds with one stone?

Xiao Yushu's face was slightly darker and said, "Enough, what is this place? Are you trying to make you talkatively?"

At this moment, a messenger came to report that it was already midnight. The troops arrived at the designated location according to the military order. Xiao Yushu gently stroked the sword box and said, "Then let's start!"

As the high tower lit the torch wrapped in cowhide sesame oil, the left army launched an attack from Xicheng first. The sound of fighting instantly spread across the sky. Thousands of soldiers, like the most humble ants, rushed over one after another, no one cared about victory or defeat, nor did anyone care about life and death. Listening to the war drum, following his teammates, the sword in his hand, and the road under his feet was forward. He did not look back or care about his hopes. He either climbed the city to fight for wealth or died under this devilish city wall that seemed to devour people!

This is war!

A quarter of an hour later, Nancheng also began an attack, with a greater momentum than Xicheng. The white thieves were unmoved at first and only rely on their inherent deployment to carry out orderly resistance. In the past few months, they have experienced hundreds of times and dozens of times. They are very familiar with each other's routines, so they are not panicked. But tonight seems a bit unusual, just two quarters of an hour, with bows, arrows, rockets and stones as if they are not money.

The sky covered the sky and the earth, and the siege equipment rushed over, rushed, nesting chariots, trench bridges, flying hooks and other siege equipment took turns to fight, destroy one place, and immediately added another place, as if endless, the casualties had exceeded the sum of the past few wars, and gradually could not support it. The figures of the messengers rushed back and forth around the city quickly, and then a large-scale mobilization of troops, and countless new forces were sent to various strongholds to strengthen the garrison.

Obviously, Bai Thief finally figured out that tonight is the time for the decisive battle!

Two quarters of an hour later, Wang Chun was worried about the battle situation and stood up. He stood outside the tent, stood on the top of the earthen mountain and looked into the distance. It was just black, with a hundred meters of eyes and could not see anything at all. He had no choice but to turn back and sit down. After repeated three or five times, he couldn't help asking: "General Xiao, what is the thunder in the sky that you are talking about? Is there anyone in the army who is good at observing the celestial phenomena knowing that there will be thunderstorms to help tonight? But if the thunderstorms arrive, the harm to our army is even greater than that of the white thief, what is the benefit?"

Xiao Yushu said lightly: "Please be careful not to be impatient and wait and see what happens!"

Wang Chun was bored and sat aside with a calm face. Looking at his expression, he was probably thinking about how to sue Xiao Yushu after returning to Beijing.

Xu You suddenly felt strange that Xiao Yushu had a bad attitude towards Wang Chun. Such a powerful censor would either compromise and try his best to flatter him or keep his open peace. During that time, Xiao Yushu did this, not to slap or offend him, but tonight there was a little more tit-for-tat meaning. It seemed that he no longer worried that Wang Chun's existence would bring many unfavorable factors.

Why?

Xu You's eyes suddenly became interesting.

The war continued, and from time to time, there were commanding soldiers to come in and out to report the latest battle situation to Xiao Yushu. Wang Chun did not understand military affairs and could not hear the clues, but Xu You felt like a mirror in his heart. The two armies were still fighting in a stalemate. The court army did not have the advantage and suffered great casualties. If it was at this speed, without dawn, each army would lose half of its energy and be seriously injured.

Xiao Yushu was waiting. The left army and the front army who were sieging the city consumed the alive power of the white thief. They were in full swing and then declining. When both sides were exhausted, the moment of deciding the victory or defeat came.

A strange scene appeared on the battlefield. Nancheng and Xicheng fought to the death, but Beicheng was quiet and there was no movement. Du Mingyu was afraid that this was Xiao Yushu's suspicious plan. He placed heavy troops in Beicheng and did not dare to be careless. However, the pressure on the west and south sides was too great. After an hour of war, they all went into trouble. Du Mingyu coldly judged the situation and ordered the generals to continue to hold on. Who dared to take a step back? Military law is engaged!

Under the strict order, the two cities in the west and south were guarded for another hour. According to usual experience, the court army with more casualties at this time should not be able to withstand the pressure. It was better to withdraw the troops by ringing gold, but tonight it was like a wild dog who was hungry, with scarlet eyes open and salivating at the prey, without any sign of withdrawing troops.

Finally, the urgent request shook Du Mingyu's mind and made him miscalculate the situation of the battle, thinking that the West City was the main, the South City was the auxiliary, and the North City was the fraud, and decisively sent out a total of 10,000 reserve teams in his hands. The effect was immediate, and the court's offensive was a setback, revealing the essence of the last power crossbow. It was obvious that it would be impossible to break the city tonight.

Just as the white thief was breathing a sigh of relief and preparing to celebrate the victory, Xiao Yushu finally issued an order. The thunder cannon placed in a designated position under the cover of night had faded away the camouflage layer wrapped outside, and then the cannons were fired in one go, with arrows and stones like rain, and the sound shook the heaven and earth. All the attacks were destroyed, and the depth of the ground could reach seven feet.

Almost instantly, the solid Qiantang North City collapsed!

Wang Chun was caught off guard, and there seemed to be a thunder thunder in his ears. His body shook suddenly, and he fell from Hu's bed to the ground, covering his ears with his hands, screaming in a hurry, showing his ugly appearance.

"Go and help the supervisor get up!"

The two parts immediately supported Wang Chun. He woke up from his panic and his face turned red in an instant, because from the eyes of these parts, all they saw was contempt and disdain.

The more hateful ones were Xiao Yushu, Xu You and Zu Qi remained motionless. Although there was no surprise on their faces, they were wondering how to mock him in their hearts.

It turns out that this is the thunder they always say!

I deliberately hide it from me and ask me to sweep the floor with politeness.

Yes or no?

As the chief censor, the governor of the external supervisor, the internal chief censor, received courtesy of the ministers and inspected all the officials, and had a high position and a powerful position. He had never been humiliated like this? Wang Chun broke away from his subordinates, stepped forward angrily, pointed at Xiao Yushu's nose, and said angrily: "Xiao Yushu, if you tease me as a supervisor, you are equivalent to despising the Lord, and see me return to Jinling...ah?"

Wang Chun's eyes suddenly opened wide, all of whom were incredibly stunned. He slowly lowered his head to look at his chest and abdomen. The long sword with a cold light shone through the handle, and the flowing blood dripped from the blade, and with a bang, it fell into dust and disappeared.

"You...you...you dare...kill...kill..."

Xiao Yushu slowly pulled out his long sword, took the cloth and wiped the blood, and said with a smile: "You have offended the Sili Captain, and you still want to live safely to the youngest? You are extremely innocent!"

Wang Chun said nothing, and his eyes turned dark and he fell to the ground and died!

"Come here, my handsome tent was sneaked into by a white thief assassin. The censor and the military inspector unfortunately died. He will keep his body alive. Wait until the Qiantang incident is in trouble and transport it back to Jinling for burial!"

"promise!"

Several troops quickly carried Wang Chun's body away. Xiao Yushu then smiled and said to Xu You: "Weizhi, the assassin has excellent martial arts skills. If it weren't for the entrusting of Hongde, we would probably have been killed, right?"

Zu Yan was already scared and his face was pale, his brain was blank, his hands and feet were trembling, and his eyes were scattered, and he wanted to faint now.

Xu You's scheming is very comparable. There are countless thoughts in his mind. At this moment, he must not offend Xiao Yushu. So Zhan Yan smiled and said, "No, thanks for the general's blessing, I'm so grateful!"

Xiao Yushu laughed and said, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say!" Then he and Xu You and others made a tent, looking at the walls that were still collapsing, and suddenly asked, "Weizhi, do you say that you should die on land or on sea alone?"

"Forgive me for being stupid and don't understand what the general means!"

"It's very simple. During the period when you and Xingzhi built thunder cannons, the navy transferred from Xuzhou and Qingzhou had quietly entered the Shanghai Du. If Du Mingyu is smart, don't escape from the sea. I think it's better to die on land than to die on land!"
Chapter completed!
