After a while, a team of seven people returned and reported the spying information to Lu Ye who was waiting here.
As he expected, Qianliu City’s foundation was indeed much stronger than Ding’an. The Black Turban Army had launched three offensives, but they had never been able to achieve decisive results. On the contrary, their own side had suffered considerable losses.
It is precisely because of this that the Black Turban team went to Ding’an to raise food and wages. However, they were destroyed by Lu Ye and attracted a thousand-man vanguard army. Most of them were still killed or injured.
It is precisely because of the intense fighting here that Heijin has no energy left to look for trouble in Ding’an.
Right now, the Black Turban Army is resting, and it seems that they don’t intend to give up. This is normal. The Black Turban started out as bandits, and their development has been smooth. Wherever they go, there are many precedents of cities voluntarily surrendering, but the result is… Losing troops and generals on Qianliu’s side.
How could the black scarf leader retreat like this? As long as he could capture Qianliu, all the previous losses would be worth it.
Anyone in the position of the leader of the Black Turban would not retreat easily.
It is undoubtedly irrational to go to the trouble of the black scarf at this time. Although all the more than a hundred people he brought with him are cultivators, they are very few in number and must be dispatched at the right time to maximize their effectiveness. After thinking about it for a while, Lu Ye decided to wait for the opportunity, believing that the black scarf would not let him wait too long.
Everyone was ordered to hide in place, and he left alone. No one knew where he went, but he returned only half a day later.
As expected, the black scarf did not keep Lu Ye waiting for too long, but two days later, everyone who was resting vaguely felt some strange movements coming from the direction of Qianliu City.
Lu Ye immediately leaned down and put his ear to the ground, listening carefully.
After a moment, he raised his brows and shouted: “Ready!”
After hearing the order, more than a hundred people immediately stood ready.
“Mount the horse!” Lu Ye gave another order.
Everyone got on their horses with uniform movements and solemn expressions.
“Let’s go!” Lu Ye glanced at them, took the lead, and headed towards Qianliu.
At this moment, the black scarf army is attacking the city. Huge flaming stones pierce the sky under the action of the thrower, or smash on the city wall, or fall into the city.
The thick city wall was full of potholes, and there were many damaged areas in the city. Dead and injured people could be seen everywhere. Near the city wall, there was a scene of purgatory.
After half an hour of stone throwing, and another half hour of arrow rain, the Black Turbans attacked the city in force.
The bandit army came forward like a tide, shouting and killing. Some were holding up simple ladders, and some were holding shields in front of them, looking menacing.
Qianliu had resisted such an attack several times, so he was very familiar with it this time.
The most intense battle between the two sides was at the section of the city wall where the east gate was located. Many times, the black scarf army bravely climbed up the city wall with the help of ladders, but they were all chopped down to the ground by the Qianliu defenders.
In the city gate tower above the east gate, Qianliu City Lord Xie Li stood there with a solemn expression. Sergeants came hurriedly one after another, reporting on the battle situation. He gave orders in a few words, and the sergeants left quickly.
Qianliu has been able to sustain himself under the Black Turban’s offensive until now, not only because of the strong foundation of this city, but also because of Xie Li’s overall planning.
It can be said that without Xie Li, Qianliu City would never be able to survive now.
He looked at the menacing black scarf below, and clearly judged that the black scarf could only support this offensive. As long as this time was blocked, the black scarf would retreat, and Qianliu would have a chance to breathe.
But he was not sure whether he could stop it. In such a war, there were too many factors that affected the situation. Even if he had extremely high military literacy, he could not completely influence the direction of the war.
We can only do our best and obey fate.
The face of a young man couldn’t help but appear in his mind. ~Soverse.com~ That was a young man he had never seen before. He suddenly came to visit two days ago and approached him, claiming to be from Ding’an City, hundreds of miles away.
At that time, the two parties briefly talked for a while, allowing him to know some of the other party’s arrangements.
He knew that he couldn’t count on external forces at this time, but he still couldn’t help but look forward to it. If there was a surprise weapon, it should appear at this time, right?
He turned his eyes and scanned the entire battlefield, but what disappointed him was that all the fields in his field of vision were black scarves and there were no surprise soldiers at all…
This made me wonder whether the scene two days ago really happened, because after the young man left, he specifically ordered his subordinates to follow him secretly, but he disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The other party appeared mysteriously and then disappeared like a ghost.
“What’s over there?” A man dressed as a counselor suddenly asked in surprise.
Xie Li looked in the direction of his gaze, and vaguely saw some small black dots approaching quickly in that direction. His expression changed, and he immediately activated his spiritual power to bless his eyes.
The vision becomes slightly clearer.
“Cavalry?” Xie Li frowned. He saw that a cavalry suddenly came over there. Although the leader could not be seen clearly, he was vaguely similar to the young man he saw two days ago.
However, the number of this cavalry is not large, only about a hundred cavalry.
Xie Li looked behind the cavalry, but saw nothing.
Could this be the surprise soldier that the young man mentioned? Even if all of the hundreds of people have cultivation, what can they do in such a battlefield?
At most, you can charge and kill a few times in the battle formation, and you will have no choice but to be slaughtered when your spiritual power is exhausted.
“Sir, this is the man in black scarf
