Li Daniu wanted to dodge, but the cold light didn't give him any chance.
The cold light flashed past, leaving only a warm corpse in the forest.
Li Daniu never wanted to understand until his death, in whose hands he died.
But he knows one thing, that is, there are really enemies outside Wucheng...
In the scout camp, there were not a few people like Li Daniu who died inexplicably.
But there were still some who were good at it and managed to escape the first assassination attempt.
As the elite in Wucheng, although they had not yet figured out the enemy's situation, they still issued a warning to the interior of Wucheng as soon as possible.
Along with a ball of sparks, it soared into the sky and turned into stars. There was a commotion among the entire Wucheng garrison.
However, because Wu Jing was personally stationed at the city wall, the defenders only made a fuss for a moment at the beginning, and then quickly and methodically launched a defensive formation.
"An enemy attack is an enemy attack!"
The deputy commander of the scout battalion looked at the sparks blooming one after another not far away, his face already gloomy to the extreme.
If it hadn't been for the city lord suddenly speaking and arranging late-night inspections of the waiting camp, it would have been impossible for them to discover the existence of the enemy.
And as the deputy commander of the scout battalion, he is naturally to blame!
Thinking of this, the deputy commander of the scout camp felt a chill running down his spine.
But the next moment, his attention was completely attracted by the fireworks in the distance.
One after another, fiery red fireworks burst into brilliant colors in mid-air.
However, the deputy commander at this moment couldn't be happy at all.
Because he knew very well that every time a firework rose into the sky, it meant that a brother in the scout camp might have sacrificed his life.
But even so, this is not the time to be sad!
With so many fireworks exploding around Wucheng, there are only two possibilities for this situation.
Either the Houjin people are trying to embarrass them on all sides, trying to tire them out; or the other party is desperate and decides to fight to the death!
No matter what the possibility is, it is not a good thing for Wu Cheng and Wu Jing. The top priority is to find out the enemy's manpower arrangements as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, the deputy commander made a prompt decision and told Wu Jing:
"City Lord, the number of enemy troops is unknown. They may have the intention of besieging Wucheng. City Lord, please make a decision as soon as possible."
On the city wall, Wu Jing's face was particularly gloomy at the moment.
Her cold cheeks were highlighted under the red fireworks.
"Send the order and put the entire army on alert! In addition, send out another team of scouts and try to find a way to contact the garrison outside the city at all costs!"
"besides……"
With the issuance of orders one after another, the entire Wucheng was like a precision machine, running rapidly.
The deputy commander of the scout battalion stood aside and wanted to speak several times, but hesitated. It wasn't until Wu Jing issued the order that he tentatively asked:
"City Lord, our scout camp... should we arrange a team of people to respond?"
Wu Jing frowned, her eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the darkness.
She looked into the dark night, was silent for a moment, and then said:
"The number of enemy troops is unknown. We must not open the city gate at this moment!"
"But……"
…
Outside Wucheng, the scout camp was suddenly attacked by the enemy and fell into a dilemma.
On all sides of them, there seemed to be enemies hidden everywhere!
Escape is human nature, and even the elite of the scout camp are no exception.
At this moment, they subconsciously believed that Wucheng behind them was the safest place.
So many scouts, after escaping the first wave of attacks, galloped towards the city gate.
But no one expected that when they escaped, they fell into the trap of the Hou Jin people.
Outside Wucheng, on a hill.
Jin Shuangxing looked at the fiery red fireworks in the sky, with a trace of contempt on his lips.
"Wucheng is really in decline. They used to be able to fight back and forth with the most courageous warriors of Houjin. But now, this general just used a little trick and caused them heavy losses."
"It seems that this Wucheng can only last for three days at most."
Hearing this, all the men around him nodded.
At this moment, a discordant voice sounded weakly.
"General, didn't Her Highness the Second Princess order us to go to the capital of Dazhou to help? Are we violating the princess's plan by besieging Wucheng now?"
"Disobey? Isn't what we are doing now exactly what the second princess meant?"
Jin Shuangxing sneered and looked at the captain who spoke.
The lieutenant felt a sense of terror and fell to his knees with a plop.
"Calm down... General, that's not what I meant. I just wanted to say..."
"Idiot, can't you see that Wucheng won't let us go easily?"
"If we enter the mountain road and Wucheng's defenders pursue us from behind, then we will be in a dilemma."
"You kid, are you from Her Royal Highness the Second Princess?"
When the captain heard this, his face turned pale. His two legs were fighting, and all he could do was kowtow to the ground with all his strength.
At this moment, he was filled with regret. He had only received a few dozen taels of silver in benefits, so he shouldn't have said this more!
"General, I know I made a mistake, please ask the general to punish me!"
"Punishment? What are you guilty of?"
Jin Shuangxing glanced at him with a smile, and continued:
"That's all, I have always cherished talented people. Since you consider the second princess so much, I will give you this opportunity."
"Go, take all your soldiers and attack Wucheng from the front!"
As soon as these words came out, the captain was stunned.
His eyes were straight and he looked at Jin Shuangxing blankly.
He opened his mouth several times, but no words of mercy came out.
After a brief silence, he bowed deeply to Jin Shuangxing.
"Subordinate...subordinate, take orders!"
Immediately, he stood up, led a team of people, and galloped towards the brightly lit Wucheng directly ahead...
Looking at the retreating figure of the famous captain, a cruel smile appeared on Jin Shuangxing's cheeks.
"Hmph, since you are so loyal to Her Highness the Second Princess, then go die for her!"
"Everyone listens to the order. Dazhou's Two-Legged Sheep has noticed our presence. Now someone is pretending to attack us head-on. The rest of the people should quickly go to the direction of the West City Gate!"
As the order was conveyed, Houjin's soldiers took advantage of the darkness and headed towards Wucheng. Behind them, a large number of siege equipment were in a posture ready to attack.
Jin Shuangxing looked at the arrangement behind him, a look of pride flashed in his eyes.
This trick of building a plank road openly and secretly attacking Chen Cang has been tried and tested repeatedly.
The lights of Wucheng in the distance were still brightly lit, but in Jin Shuangxing's mind, he had already imagined Wu Jing holding Huan under him.
Wu family, I will cut off your relationship today!
