"Mister Feng, something bad has happened." Luo Yue said.
Feng Jin's heart skipped a beat. Just as he was about to carry the sleeping Changsheng, Luo Yue's voice made him stop.
"What happened?"
"The Tsing Yi Army in Maolin district and Jiaoping district are going to attack us. It's less than half a day's journey."
What!
Feng Jin widened his eyes in shock.
Why did the Tsing Yi Army suddenly attack Xiangyang district?
"The Tsing Yi Army in the two districts are still well-behaved, why did they suddenly attack Xiangyang district?"
Xiangyang district had sufficient troops and horses. The Tsing Yi Army had tried a few times but failed. Why would they take the initiative to find trouble now?
Could it be …
Feng Jin's brain started to work again. He quickly figured out the crux of the matter … It was most likely that Chengan District had been conquered. The other two districts thought that Xiangyang District was weak and wanted to take advantage of it … He secretly gritted his teeth. He couldn't continue following a lord who specialized in tricking her subordinates!
Wei Jingxian's face paled. "Husband?"
Were they preparing for another war?
"It's okay. Take Changsheng home first. I can't go back for a few days. When Lanting comes back, I'll make her pay. "
You can't cheat me like this!
He had said that he would stay behind to accompany his wife and child, but in the blink of an eye, he had caused such a huge mess.
Feng Jin got up and strode out of the government office.
Wei Jingxian let out a long sigh. She lowered her head to look at her daughter, who had just woken up with a start. She felt terrible, but there was nothing she could do.
In this chaotic world, it was impossible not to be disturbed by wars.
He lowered his head and kissed his daughter's brow. He whispered, "Changsheng, let's go home and wait for your father to return."
There was still half a day's journey before the arrival of the Tsing Yi Army. Xiangyang district still had plenty of time to prepare.
Feng Jin inquired about the number of guards and defensive equipment at each city gate, and his heart calmed down a little.
Fortunately, the city defense equipment was ready. If it was a night battle and a sneak attack, the Tsing Yi Army would not be able to return!
Feng Jin usually gave people the impression that he was a dignified gentleman. It was rare to see him angry. If people thought that he was a kind person because of this, they would be making a big mistake. Anyone who dared to lay their hands on Xiangyang District, he would make them pay a painful price.
He and Luo Yue inspected the city walls, and only after ensuring that there were no problems did they feel relieved to leave the city walls.
Feng Jin said in a low voice, "The two troops of the Tsing Yi Army are attacking in different directions. According to the scouts' reports, there's a certain difference in the time of arrival. Tell the soldiers on both sides of the city gates to keep a close watch and not let their guard down. We have to hold on for at least five days. This is going to be a tough battle. "
Luo Yue nodded as he listened. He had no objections to Feng Jin's arrangement.
After a while, Feng Jin suddenly said, "Oh right, after nightfall, no matter who it is, the city gate must not be opened."
Luo Yue's heart tightened. These words had a profound meaning. Could it be …
"What you mean is that … there are spies from the Tsing Yi Army in the city?" Luo Yue asked.
Feng Jin frowned and said, "That's hard to say. After all, when we first entered Xiangyang, we captured many members of the Tsing Yi Army. It's hard to guarantee that the former members of the Tsing Yi Army are not related to those enemies. It's always better to be cautious. "
Luo Yue looked indifferent on the surface, but he remembered these words in his heart.
The current Xiangyang District was a paradise in troubled times that they had poured their blood, sweat, and tears into for half a year. No one was allowed to covet it.
Even if he felt that the members of the Tsing Yi Army who had surrendered were completely loyal and would not rebel, nothing was absolute. It was better to be cautious.
"I understand. I'll definitely pass this message to the guards at each city gate."
In order to ensure that the soldiers had sufficient energy, they changed shifts every two hours after nightfall to ensure that everyone was full of energy.
In the dark night, torches were lit on the city walls of Xiangyang District, like the only light in the world.
Jiaoping District was the closest to Xiangyang District. It would only take them a day and a half if they traveled at full speed. It was already late at night when they arrived.
One of the minions said, "General, it seems that the security in Xiangyang District is quite strict."
General Pingtian rode a tall and strong horse. This time, he brought more than 5,000 members of the Tsing Yi Army with him. Each of them was an "elite". Those who stayed in Jiaoping District were old and weak. They were not suitable for long-distance raids. If he brought them along, they would definitely slow down the pace of the army.
"If it's not strict, why do you think this fat piece of meat hasn't been taken away?" General Pingtian's heart skipped a beat. He said coldly, "I've sent people to investigate the situation in Xiangyang District in the past. The guards are two to three times weaker than they are now. Now that they're so solemn, it's obvious that they're not confident."
The more weak they were, the more they had to pretend to be powerful. General Pingtian was even more confident.
The minions flattered him, "General is unparalleled in wisdom. No matter how hard Xiangyang District tries to hide, it can't hide from your sharp eyes."
General Pingtian snorted. However, the minions had a sweet tongue, so he flattered him very much.
"Let's wait a little longer. We'll launch a surprise attack with a rocket at midnight."
General Pingtian was different from the other leaders of the Tsing Yi Army. Not only did he like to plunder money and beauties, but he also liked to organize various weapons. For example, a rocket was an arrow that was pierced with a coarse cloth dyed with oil and then shot out with a bow. Once it pierced into the flesh, the wound would easily fester and become infected.
He wanted to launch a surprise attack and catch the other party off guard, but he did not know that Xiangyang District was already prepared.
Was it a big deal to have a rocket?
The night was dark. Feng Jin seized the opportunity to sleep for a few hours. At midnight, the minions woke him up as ordered.
"How's the situation at the north and west gates? Are there any signs of the enemy? " Feng Jin took the wet cloth from the minions and wiped his face casually. The cold water stains and the night breeze dispelled his remaining sleepiness. He could not help but shiver and his mind was completely awake.
The minions replied, "Sir, there are no signs of the enemy at the north and west gates."
Feng Jin took a deep breath and said, "Don't let your guard down."
Everyone in the Tsing Yi Army had different degrees of night blindness. It was difficult for them to see things at night, but it did not mean that they could not launch a night attack.
The torches at the city gates were burning fiercely. They could be seen from afar. It was the best guiding light for the Tsing Yi Army!
Many soldiers were also informed that there might be a surprise attack by the enemy tonight. All of them were on high alert.
It was late at night. This was the time when the people slept the most. Even the Tsing Yi Army, who was lying in ambush, could not help but rub their eyes.
At this moment, a member of the Tsing Yi Army with excellent eyesight saw that the soldiers on the city walls were already yawning sleepily. It seemed that they could not open their eyes. He immediately said to General Pingtian in surprise, "General, it's almost time."
The grass outside the city was lush. It was an excellent cover for the Tsing Yi Army.
They slowly approached the city walls. They were less than 300 meters away, but the soldiers on the city walls still did not find any traces of them.
General Pingtian was overjoyed. He ordered, "Launch the rocket!"
Because the shooting range was not enough, the archers needed to move forward further.
