The songs came from afar on the city of Xuzhou in the night. The Jianghuai River has been wars since ancient times, so many people in folk songs have been hurt and parting, which makes it difficult to be so desolate and sad for a long time.

Singing in a song with a local accent, with a little sad feeling of parting. For the soldiers of the Jianghuai Army, it was as if relatives from their hometown were crying in their ears. Both men and women sang the song, like parents, wives, and children in the family, singing to themselves and narrating the parting feeling.

Listening to the singing, many young and not long-time soldiers of the Jianghuai Army couldn't help crying.

Even those old soldiers who have been through the battlefield are also stammering their bodies and leaning against the wall, their eyes are red.

Fu Gongyou stood at the top of the city and thought of his wife and children in Danyang in an instant, and his heart was filled with endless concern. But this was only a moment. After Fu Gongyou figured it out, he suddenly shouted angrily: "What a Li Chongjiu, he actually used this strategy of being surrounded by enemies to disrupt our army's morale."

After hearing what Fu Gongyou said, his personal soldiers immediately went to the walls everywhere and punched and kicked those who cried bitterly.

‘Don’t cry, this is the strategy of the Zhao army to disrupt our morale! Those who cry again will be beheaded!’

When the order was conveyed, the soldiers who were originally crying only dared to choke secretly, while several soldiers who were weak-willed and could not control their own soldiers were killed on the spot. Under the bloody suppression, the crying sounds on the city stopped.

However, the iron-blooded suppression could only suppress the singing outside the city, but it could not suppress the ears of the soldiers of the Jianghuai Army. Gradually, more and more people were singing. On the side of the city wall, the soldiers of the Jianghuai Army could hear the singing with the local accent. Even if they didn't want to listen, they could not.

At this moment, not only the soldiers, but also Fu Gongyou was also shocked. So many people were singing, could the Zhao army not only captured Jiangdu and Danyang, but even the entire Jiang Yang fell into Li Chongjiu's hands.

Fu Gongyou thought to himself that even if he thought so, the other Jianghuai army would inevitably be even more panicked. And the news of Danyang's fall must be hidden. In any case, the morale of the soldiers of the Jianghuai army must have fallen to the bottom now.

Chaos and anxiety spread all kinds of emotions, and the singing under the city stopped sometimes and continued sometimes, stirring up the mood of the soldiers of the Jianghuai Army.

Fu Gongyou welcomed dawn almost in a state of fear.

After dawn, Li Chongjiu climbed the tower in front of the East City, and looked at Xuzhou City from the tower five feet high. The city wall was fully visible, and the Jianghuai soldiers who had been guarding the city wall for a night were shrank and motionless, and their morale was obviously extremely sluggish.

On his left and right, the Zhao soldiers rested overnight and had breakfast before the fourth update. Now they are full of energy and morale. They are ready to usher in the siege battle that is about to be held.

According to yesterday's arrangement, all the Zhao soldiers guarding the southern city evacuated, leaving only an empty camp tent and a trench that was quasi-directed.

On the contrary, on the north, east and south, the Zhao soldiers were waiting for the battle. The arrow towers built by the siege for more than 20 days in the siege, crashed into cars, siege cars and stone throwers, and all kinds of imaginable siege equipment were displayed under the city.

Beside the siege equipment, there were Zhao soldiers who could not see the end. The swords, guns, swords and halberds reflected the cold light. The stern military appearance made people breathless.

Time passed by seconds, and it was almost time for the Jianghuai Army to start making breakfast as usual.

Li Chongjiu naturally would not give the soldiers of the Jianghuai Army this opportunity. He slowly pressed his hand. At this time, the big drums of cowhide on hundreds of sides were beating at the same time. The soldiers of the Zhao Army on the north, east and west began to move rustly towards the city.

When Chen Asi was in the army, after hearing the drums, his eagle and Yanglang general raised the flag and the soldiers were also rushing.

Chen Asi and his group of more than a dozen people pushed an arrow tower forward. There were six wheels under the arrow tower, and the land was rolling. On the arrow tower were six crossbowmen and six flag bearers stood on the arrow tower.

The land on this battlefield was not leveled in advance, so several places were bumpy. When they arrived in such a place, Chen Asi and the others almost had to work hard to push the arrow tower through.

The soldiers under Chen Asi's command began to complain: "This broken thing cost me half my life, and it made me feel angry."

‘Not yet, the meal I ate in the morning has long disappeared. I won’t give us enough for such a battle. It’s really too stingy on the top.’

‘Silly, where can anyone eat very full? Our army only eats three points of full before the war. Don’t ask why, this is the rule.’

Chen Asi and his friends buried their heads and pushed the arrow tower hard. For them, in this battle with nearly 100,000 people participating, their task was to push the arrow tower one hundred and fifty steps away from the city and guard the watchtower. The task was that simple.

In front of them, the soldiers pushing the ladder were bravely advancing with the rain of arrows shot from the city. Compared to this, Chen Asi and the others were undoubtedly safe.

Finally, they pushed the arrow tower to the predetermined position, erected a branch of wood to fix it. Chen Asi gave a long breath, hoping that the Jianghuai army would not break out of the city gate.

At this time, looking up the tower, the Zhao army crossbowmen had already raised their arrows, and the crossbows were constantly shooting out, heading straight to the city of Xuzhou. The hook of the siege ladder just reached the wall of Xuzhou.

The bloody battle is about to begin, and Chen A-si's subordinates also began to work hard to cheer up the robes.

At the top of Xuzhou City, Fu Gongyou experienced the fierce attack of the Zhao army like a storm, less than an hour. At this moment, he understood why the Zhao army could sweep across the north and south, and why Goguryeo, which could not be captured by the 300,000 Sui army, could destroy the Zhao army.

Judging from the attack within less than an hour, the Zhao army is truly a powerful army in the world. Whether it is the familiarity of the soldiers' weapons training during the siege, the dense teams between the troops, the cooperation between the soldiers, and the general's control over the army, they are far better than the elite Sui army's troops back then, let alone the Jianghuai army.

‘No wonder Li Chongjiu has the ability to challenge Li Yuan. If I, Fu Gongyou, had such a man, would have swept the world long ago. ‘Fu Gongyou said with a little envy and a little jealousy.

‘Mr. Fu Gong, the Zhao army's offensive is so fierce that the soldiers and soldiers in the city have lost their morale. It is probably unfavorable to continue to defend the Xuzhou city.’

‘I think the Zhao army did not surround Nancheng, but retreated all the troops and horses, with kindness. Li Chongjiu was not a person who insisted on killing them all. I think they just wanted this Xuzhou city, not to destroy my Jianghuai army.’

‘Yes, it’s better for us to break through from Nancheng and give Xuzhou City to Li Chongjiu.’
