It's finally night.
Yiling City really followed Zhu Yunfei's arrangement. The fire at the top of the city was not extinguished and the sergeants were constantly patrolling. The city was even more deserted. When the curfew was announced, the people hid in their homes. No one wanted to offend the official family.
However, Zhu Yunfei felt strangely uneasy. Holding his sword, he stood at the top of the city and looked at the dark mountains in the distance, lost in thought.
In terms of military strength, Yiling's soldiers were slightly less than those of the First Prince, but they always had the advantage because they were on the defensive and waiting to attack. In terms of combat power, during the daytime battle outside the city, our side was clearly outmatched. Therefore, as long as we defend well, the eldest prince will inevitably retreat. After all, Xu Lang's forward has arrived at Yiling City. At that time, if all Xu Lang's army arrives, the eldest prince will have no way to go.
But is this King of England really a worthy person?
However, if this is the case, if Xu Lang's army arrives and opens the city gates, will he be looked down upon? Especially, it was a betrayal of Prince Ping's Mansion in a certain sense.
And the eldest prince would definitely not be willing to leave like this. In fact, the most he can do is follow the original route and find a way to enter Wuling County. However, the Xuan family and his son in Wuling County have long been at odds with King Ping. I am afraid that he will have the intention but not the courage to go. As for staying in Miaoshan, it is estimated that the major Miao villages will not be happy. No matter how loyal the chieftain is, he will not get into trouble.
It seems that he will definitely make some noise. Because after tonight, his path will become narrower and narrower.
"Pay attention to what's going on in the city, and don't leave your post without permission!"
Zhu Yunfei shouted coldly.
Then, under the protection of the guard camp, he walked down to the city.
"Send another five hundred sergeants at the city gate, and hide some brothers near the city wall. I think there will be a visitor tonight!"
Zhu Yunfei gave some more instructions before getting on his horse and heading back to the general's mansion.
To a certain extent, a dragnet has been set up in Yiling City.
…
"The general asked me to wait all night to take precautions and asked me to see. He was too careful!"
As he spoke, a sergeant holding a lantern and walking in front of the inspection team yawned unconsciously.
It was almost the second watch of the night, and there was no movement outside the city. This inevitably made these soldiers complain a little when they were tired.
"Hush, don't say that. If the general hears it, his ass will burst into flames!"
The sergeant behind him quickly reminded him.
"Oh, but I still think our general is too cautious. The city of Yiling is fortified and the eldest prince has no siege weapons, so why should we be afraid? I won't be able to go to Xinghua tonight. Lou, I can’t hear Miss Ruyu’s ditty anymore!”
A sergeant behind him sighed. Obviously, he couldn't understand Zhu Yunfei's series of actions.
"Hey, don't tell me, second brother, Miss Ruyu's little song, it's really 'this song should only exist in heaven, how many times can you hear it in the world'!"
The sergeant holding the lantern immediately agreed.
But no matter what, with a few people so poor, they can still drive away some sleepiness.
At this time, Lei Hu and others, who had quietly approached the base of the city wall, couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
They avoided the firelight at the top of the city and spent a long time before reaching the base of the city wall. In order not to be discovered by the soldiers at the top of the city, they clung to the city wall and did not dare to move.
Judging from the current situation, Zhu Yunfei has obviously made some arrangements. Otherwise, how could he patrol back and forth so intensively?
Tang Hu couldn't help but moan secretly in his heart.
Before leaving, the task assigned to him by the eldest prince was to wait for an opportunity to approach the city gate and find an opportunity to control it, so that he could cooperate with Qin Tianzhao inside and outside.
But this is easy to say, but so difficult to implement. Now, Tang Hu had lost confidence in whether he could even cross the city wall without anyone noticing.
