So they didn't set up camp outside the city.
Instead, he led his troops into the city.
Prepare to rest for the night.
The next day they went out of the city and defeated the enemy.
If it is a time of holding firm,
They then set up a camp outside the city.
They are now in a mutually supporting position.
However, the city's barracks could not accommodate so many soldiers.
Wu Li drew several archways for Sun Wu to set up camp.
The residents of these wards have all fled.
The few who remained were also asked to leave by Wu Li.
When Tian Hu first raised his army,
They looted extensively, and later...
He was preparing to become king so that he would stop plundering the people.
However, in order to expand their territory
They recruited soldiers on a large scale.
They had an army of 200,000, and a large number of officials did not work.
The burden on the people of Hedong was extremely heavy.
Therefore, there have always been many people fleeing.
When the Great Liang army reached Longde Prefecture,
Fearing that the war would spread, most of the people of Xiangyuan fled.
It could be said that nine out of ten houses in the entire city of Xiangyuan were empty.
That evening, Wu Li hosted a banquet for Sun Wu.
However, Sun Wu only scratched the surface.
He then used the excuse that he had to go into battle the next day.
He then took his leave with his generals.
Wu Li had no choice but to end the banquet.
Sun Wu lived in the mansion of a wealthy family who had fled.
Dozens of houses of various sizes,
Sun Wu's personal guards were all crammed into this courtyard.
Around midnight,
Xiangyuan City has been plunged into darkness.
Apart from the soldiers patrolling the city walls,
Only small squads of soldiers remained patrolling the city.
Ye Qing led a group of trusted confidants to stand on the south city wall.
Keep a close eye on the outside.
The surrounding area was already shrouded in darkness.
The mournful cries of animals that were usually active at night,
They're gone today too.
Suddenly a torch was lit in the darkness.
It started swaying from side to side.
One of the guards said, "They're here."
Ye Qing nodded and said, "Lower the drawbridge and open the city gates."
"Yes!"
Several trusted confidants personally went to the winch.
It started to rotate.
A piercing "squeak" sound rang out in the night, carrying far away.
Upon seeing this, Ye Qing hurriedly led his trusted men down from the city wall.
The city gates have been opened.
However, the suspension bridge is very slow.
"What are you doing?"
When the suspension bridge was just halfway down,
A loud shout rang out in the city.
Ye Qing turned her head to look.
However, a patrol of soldiers from the city heard the noise and rushed over.
The patrolling soldiers in the city were actually Wu Li's troops.
"Fire arrows."
Ye Qing saw that things had been exposed.
Without saying much, he shouted loudly,
He then ordered the arrows to be fired.
The archers on the city wall immediately shot arrows at the patrolling soldiers below.
"Beep!"
Although the rain of arrows from the city walls felled most of the arriving soldiers,
But the people behind still blew their whistles.
A sharp whistle suddenly rang out across the night sky.
The soldiers patrolling nearby rushed over.
The city was in an uproar.
Upon seeing this, Ye Qing became extremely anxious.
He hurriedly shouted towards the city wall,
"Lower the drawbridge quickly."
Outside the city, Zhao Yuan, along with Guan Sheng and Hua Rong's troops, lay in ambush in the darkness.
Seeing the city gates open,
They were eagerly preparing for the battle.
"Kill!"
Li Kui heard the sirens blaring throughout the city.
He immediately became anxious.
Wielding a battle axe,
He took off running towards the suspension bridge.
Zhao Yuan was also afraid that Li Kui might be harmed.
He turned to Guan Shengdao,
"Kill! If you see the enemy gathering, use fire and thunder."
"Kill!"
Guan Sheng shouted loudly,
He then led his men and rushed inside.
The soldiers behind watched their commander charge.
He immediately shouted and rushed inside.
The sounds of battle filled the air.
In order to use fire and thunder to intimidate the troops in the city.
The charging troops were all infantry.
When Li Kui rushed to the moat,
The suspension bridge is still three or four feet above the riverbank.
However, this no longer hinders the charge.
Chapter 1668 The Great Devastation of the City
"kill!"
Li Kui strode onto the suspension bridge.
He strode into the city.
Upon seeing Ye Qing and the others blocking their way...
He immediately brandished his axe and charged forward.
Ye Qing, however, led his men to guard against the city.
To prevent the city's troops from blocking the city gates.
Upon hearing Li Kui's roar,
I was also taken aback.
Turning to look at Li Kui's fierce and ruthless nature,
They came with ill intentions again.
He hurriedly ordered the people around him to make way, and shouted at the same time,
"I am Ye Qing."
Li Kui heard Ye Qing shout,
Seeing that everyone had moved to the sides,
And without stopping,
Wielding two broadswords,
They then marched into the city to fight.
Guan Sheng led his troops into the city.
Seeing Ye Qing standing to the side,
"Lead us to the army camp and kill them."
"it is good!"
Ye Qing's camp issued a warning.
He then led Guan Sheng to attack the military camp in the east of the city.
Not far away,
Then they ran into a patrol of soldiers who were coming to their aid.
