Chapter One Hundred and Ninety Eight: Stand Still

Huang Yuchen frowned slightly and looked at Yu Sheng, a little puzzled.

According to his analysis, he gave up the defense of the hills on both sides at this moment, and all the soldiers gathered in the city. If the enemy occupied the hills and built a stone-popping machine, the city would be a sea of ​​fire, so how could they break through. Even if the Yu Sheng ordered the hills on both sides to ignite the hills on both sides to block the enemy's attack, they could defend against the two hills. However, the total number of soldiers in the city was less than 3,000, so how could they defend against the enemy's continuous attack?

The enemy has no action now, so he must be waiting for the subsequent reinforcements. If the subsequent reinforcements arrive, the enemy will immediately attack and take Changxiang City to death. If the war materials in the city are exhausted, the rest will be hand-to-hand combat. There is no danger in Changxiang City, and there is less than 3,000 soldiers. In such a narrow place, it is impossible to use war horses to rush to the enemy. How can we resist the enemy's attack?

Once the city gate is broken, the only way for the soldiers guarding the city is to destroy the entire army.

Huang Yuchen didn't say anything, Yu Sheng saw the doubt in Huang Yuchen's heart, which was also the one that all the soldiers guarding the city had. Yu Sheng smiled slightly and said to Huang Yuchen: "Actually, from the very beginning, I didn't plan to fight the enemy here. The way I did was to make the enemy general believe that no matter what, we were trapped in Changxiang City, and the trapped beasts were still fighting."

Huang Yuchen was stunned, and even more confused, saying, "Do you mean? General, you led your army into the enclave. You know that there are no reinforcements recently, but why do you want to fight the enemy to decisively and attract the enemy? What do you mean?"

Yu Sheng looked at Huang Yuchen with a smile on his face, but he didn't say anything, but just shook his head gently.

Yu Sheng's confident look made Huang Yuchen even more suspicious. According to his own analysis, even if the Lihuo Formation is included, the defense of Changxiangcheng will definitely have no future and will eventually end up in annihilation. But why is Yu Sheng so confident and confident, as if he is sure to win.

"You don't have to doubt it." Yu Sheng chuckled, "Just do what I said, and you will understand everything later."

Huang Yuchen frowned slightly, not knowing Yu Sheng's words very well, but Yu Sheng had already said so. Moreover, it was already like this. Even if he didn't believe in Yu Sheng, what could he do?

The scorching sun was in the sky, and it was almost noon. Outside the two gates of Changxiangcheng, there were corpses everywhere, and blood flowed into a river.

In the distance, a few crisp bird songs came, and a slap of the birds cut through the sky and flew towards the distance.

Black Stone Bridge, City Wall.

Sha Shaoyuan, a little depressed.

Since the enemy set up camp last night, he issued an order that the enemy would definitely attack at night to prepare everyone. However, the enemy did not dispatch any troops except a small number of scouts to explore the horses.

The entire enemy camp was silent. From a distance, you could only see smoke flying into the air repeatedly. Outside the camp, the trenches of the Mama were stacked layer by layer, which was obviously a defensive style to defend against our own raids.

But Sha Shaoyuan is not a fool. How could he raid the camp of 40,000 people with six thousand troops? Isn’t that asking for death?

Therefore, the two camps were stalemate, and the enemy did not attack, and Sha Shaoyuan could not make any moves.

Cui Chi has been lying in the nearby jungle, waiting for Sha Shaoyuan's order, but waiting left and right, but Sha Shaoyuan's disappearance was not seen.

I took a few shots to ask the scouts, but the battle on the front line did not start, but I could only stand by on time.

In the scorching sun, Cui Chi had ordered most of the soldiers to rest on the spot, leaving a large squadron to patrol and defend, leaning under a big tree, eating dry food with clean water, looking helpless.

Compared to Cui Chi, Sha Shaoyuan was obviously more helpless. As the deputy commander of the expeditionary army, his order was to defend the Black Stone Bridge and ensure the access to the East Prince's Army. When he left for the rest of his life, he left himself more troops, just to strictly prevent the Black Stone Bridge. He himself realized that the Black Stone Bridge would definitely be attacked by the enemy's fierce attack, and everything was ready. Even Sha Shaoyuan guessed the character of the opponent's general.

But since last night, the enemy did not move any action. Apart from the regular cooking of fire and cooking, there was no intention to attack. The enemy did not seem to be here to attack, but instead seemed to be here to take a vacation.

However, Sha Shaoyuan did not relax his vigilance. He divided the sergeants into two squads and alternately repaired them in case of a sudden attack by the enemy.

In the early morning, Sha Shaoyuan received news from the Eastern Prince's Mansion that Huang Yuanwu ordered Sha Shaoyuan to guard the Black Stone Bridge to the death without any mistakes. Because the soldiers who were originally responsible for defending the border wall of the Eastern Prince's Mansion had been transferred by Huang Yuanwu to the northern border to garrison. On the front, Sha Shaoyuan was only one defensive army.

Since the establishment of the Eastern Palace, the Eastern Palace has never been so short of troops. According to Huang Yuanwu, the news said that support will not arrive at least three days later. Let him lead all the elites into the enclave and support the rest of his life.

As a veteran of the hundred battles, Sha Shaoyuan certainly knew what this meant. Even the soldiers stationed in the Eastern Palace were dispatched. The crisis that the Eastern Palace is facing now can be said to be urgent. If there is a little mistake, the whole game will be lost.

Huang Yuanwu must have made great decisions when he made such a decision.

Sha Shaoyuan stood on the city wall and looked at the enemy camp in the distance. The camp was continuous for several miles, with three or four thousand people as a brigade, echoing each other. If it was attacked, it could be supported immediately. Such a formation could be guaranteed to be foolproof.

With his brows frowned, Sha Shaoyuan began to figure out the enemy's thoughts.

The Black Stone Bridge is already under the control of the Eastern Prince's Mansion. If the enemy cannot retake the bridge, it will not be able to trap Yu Sheng and Ye Guan to death. In this way, it will not be able to drag the entire Eastern Prince's Mansion to death. This matter is of great importance. The generals sent to attack the Black Stone Bridge must be the confidant of the Enclave Leader. Only such people can fully understand the intentions of the Enclave Leader.

But he has tens of thousands of troops at this moment, and facing a city wall that is not a barrier, why not attack?

After thinking about it, Sha Shaoyuan felt that there were only a few possibilities for the enemy to act like this.

The first one is that he was thinking about how to take down the city wall in one go, so he sent many scouts and detectives to wander outside the range of the defenders and send back the information. Moreover, Cui Chi's hiding place has been revealed, and the enemy generals must have known that his defensive strategy was prepared to ensure that he was foolproof.

The second type is that the enemy general deliberately delays time. Although he does not know what the use of delaying time, the enemy generals have intentions in this regard. However, no matter how he thinks, he does not know why the enemy delays time. The army has already gathered, even if he has to rush to make siege equipment, it takes so long,

So many soldiers have been created long ago.

The third type is that the enemy generals are lip service and intend to surrender. This is also the most unlikely point that Sha Shaoyuan feels. If the enemy wants to surrender, he can come directly near the city wall and send out the surrender letter. There is no need to be such a distance. The camp is built again on the original camp, and many horse-rejecting gullies have been built, which looks like a protracted war.

Combined with Sha Shaoyuan's previous analysis of the character of the enemy general, he felt that the enemy generals he faced this time were cruel and ruthless, and he used all means to achieve his goal, but he was also meticulous and calm in his tactics. Facing such an opponent, Sha Shaoyuan felt that it was difficult to deal with.

"A day has passed in the three-day period. The people in the enclave will not really think that the Eastern Prince's Mansion only has such a small amount of troops, right?" Sha Shaoyuan thought to himself: "No... Since they know that the Eastern Prince's Mansion is definitely determined to win the Enclave, why is this general not in a hurry to attack?"

In three possibilities, Sha Shaoyuan is more inclined to the first one. The enemy is plotting a strategy to take down the city wall in one fell swoop, so as to minimize the damage to the war so that after taking down the city wall, he can also defend against the frontal attack of the Eastern Palace.

After thinking about this, Sha Shaoyuan issued several orders again, ordering all the soldiers to maintain a fighting posture and be ready to deal with the enemy's attack at any time. He also arranged a messenger to issue orders to Cui Chi, ordering him to send scouts to inquire about the news of the enemy's camp and see if they were building large siege equipment.

Previously, he also sent several teams of scouts to wander around the enemy camp, but did not show any actions of the enemy to make large equipment. It may be that the enemy camp is larger and has a more secretive job, so he did not show up. In order to confirm his thoughts, Sha Shaoyuan ordered the scouts to report it if he saw an abnormality.

After receiving Sha Shaoyuan's order, Cui Chi, who had no choice but to stand up for a long time, immediately sent four teams of scouts to be responsible for the four directions of the enemy camp, and specifically instructed the scouts to observe the enemy camp carefully. If there is any abnormal situation, report it as soon as possible.

The four teams of scouts rode their horses and left. Cui Chi sat down again, leaned against the tree trunk, closed his eyes to rest.

After doing all this, all that is left is quiet waiting.

Sha Shaoyuan leaned on the battlements, looked back at the rolling Canglan River under the city wall, and then looked into the towering wall of the East Prince's Mansion in the distance, narrowing his eyes slightly.

The Black Stone Bridge has no battle for a day, which always makes Sha Shaoyuan feel that something is wrong. But he can't say what's wrong, but this strong feeling cannot be dispersed for a long time.

In the distance, in the camp, it was still quiet, without any attack at all.

The sun slowly moved to the west, and the burning sunlight slowly became softer. In the distance, the shadows cast by the woods slowly lengthened and gradually covered the entire enemy camp.

On the banks of the Canglan River, the air is moist, the water is abundant, and the vegetation is lush. The scorching sun that goes west is covered by a few white clouds, casting a large shadow, leaving a mottled mark on the vast plain under the city wall.

The breeze blows, whirling the flags on the city walls with a slight sound. Under the city, there is a quiet and peaceful state.

If we don’t consider the war is imminent, this scenery is indeed like a fairyland on earth and fascinating.

Sha Shaoyuan cleared his thoughts, leaned quietly on the city wall, closed his eyes and adjusted his breath, waiting for his battle to start.
