Hearing Chi Zhongtian's unkind tone, Qiu Chan did not dare to knock on the door again, but stayed quietly in front of the door.

Not long after, Ye Luo came back. After Qiu Chan saw Ye Luo, he hurriedly went up to him and asked, "What's going on, Master?"

Ye Luo understood it as soon as he heard it. Chi Zhongtian probably was still thinking about what happened just now.

"Hey, don't ask, the owner of the village is really angry today." Ye Luo shook his head, walked around Qiu Chan and returned to the room.

Chi Zhongtian stayed in the room for several hours. It was almost time before he opened the door and walked out.

"Xiaoye." He stood in front of the door and called.

In less than a blink of an eye, Ye Luo opened the door and walked out, followed by Qiu Chan.

"Take my official seal and official uniform, let's go to the military camp." Chi Zhongtian said.

"Yes!" Ye Luo turned around and walked back.

"Keep an eye on that person." Chi Zhongtian continued.

This sentence was obviously meant for Qiu Chan, so Qiu Chan nodded consciously and walked back.

Soon, Ye Luo walked out holding a bundle.

"Master, you've got everything."

"Let's go." Chi Zhongtian had made up his mind just now. He decided to go to the military camp now and question Prince Qing face to face, why he wanted to burn them to death, and why he didn't even send anyone there when so many people were missing.

try to find.

After the two of them walked out of the inn, Ye Luo noticed a detail: none of the "eye-catching" people who had been staying at the door were gone.

It's just that Ye Luo doesn't have the time to think about this now.

At this moment, suddenly, the situation suddenly changed.

On the street, suddenly there was a loud noise.

"The enemy is attacking the city, the enemy is attacking the city!"

After Chi Zhongtian and Ye Luo heard the sound, they stopped at the same time.

"The enemy is attacking the city?" Chi Zhongtian asked doubtfully.

"The enemy is attacking the city! The commander-in-chief has ordered that all young and strong men gather at the south gate of the city!" A very rough voice came out again, but this time the voice seemed to be very close to him.

Sure enough, not long after he finished speaking, a galloping horse ran past Chi Zhongtian, raising clouds of dust. On the horse was an ordering officer with an order flag on his back.

"Let's go to the south gate and have a look." When Chi Zhongtian heard that enemy troops were attacking the city, he thought about temporarily putting aside the matter of going to the military camp to question him, because at this juncture, it would obviously be inappropriate to go by himself.

"Yes, shall we take these things with us?" Ye Luo asked.

"Take it with you, just in case!" Chi Zhongtian said, already walking to the side.

As he walked, Chi Zhongtian suddenly thought of something. There were officers and soldiers in the military camp. Why did the person who just sent the order ask all the young and strong men to go to the south of the city?

What does this mean?

"It's broken. Is the war situation urgent?" Chi Zhongtian suddenly stopped and said to Ye Luo behind him.

Ye Luo was stunned for a moment, and then replied habitually: "Ah, yes."

"Let's go!"

Without further delay, the two of them walked towards the south of the city.

The further they walked, the more Chi Zhongtian felt that something was wrong.

It's not unusual to see no one on the street. When there's a war, it's normal for the people in the city to hide.

However, there are very few officers and soldiers on the streets, which is a bit strange.

When the two of them arrived at the south gate, they found that the place was very lively.

There were people everywhere near the south gate, including officers and soldiers in armor and men in civilian clothes, all running at full speed.

Even standing here, one can hear the fierce sounds of fighting outside the city.

Chi Zhongtian asked Ye Luo to stop several officers and soldiers on the way, and after asking them several times, he finally got some insights.

It turned out that just after noon, the enemy troops outside the south gate suddenly seemed to be crazy and kept attacking the city gate.

Because King Qing had ordered that no one was allowed to go out of the city gate to fight, so at the beginning, the defenders on the city gate used bows and arrows to defend themselves against the enemy, and these arrows were brought from Jingxian Daying.

At first, no one took it seriously, thinking it was just enemy soldiers and couldn't help but want to stretch their muscles.

However, slowly, the defenders realized that something was not normal.

Because this time the enemy troops seemed to be risking their lives. They also drew their bows and arrows outside the city, and began to shoot arrows upward. Although the arrows shot from bottom to top were much less powerful, they could still make the city

The defenders at the door felt the pressure.

In fact, this is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is that spies from outside the city came back to report that the enemy troops were transporting siege vehicles more than ten miles away.

This siege vehicle is the most ferocious weapon used to attack the city gate, and it is also the most feared by the defenders.

Generally speaking, when several siege vehicles move towards the city gate, the attack momentum will be different.

After learning the news, King Qing was also shocked. Even though he didn't understand military affairs, he also understood the role of siege vehicles. But he was very strange, where did the enemy get the siege vehicles from?

Do you want to play it for real?

Prince Qing had always been joking and said that this time it would be the same as last time, just for show. But now that he suddenly thought of this, he felt scared. If it was serious, then he would be prepared.

None, but if it wasn't for real, why would people have siege engines when they have nothing to do?

Fortunately, there are still some capable generals in the army, such as Lu Gui and Li Guang, who are still capable of fighting.

When Lu Gui heard that the enemy had siege engines, he immediately began to prepare. He first ordered the entire army to enter the city from the west gate, pass directly through the city to the south gate, and then assemble at the south gate, ready to attack at any time.

At the same time, he also sent an order to gather the young and strong men in the city on the tower of the south gate. He piled some stones next to it and made more than a dozen fires with more than a dozen iron pots on them.

It's oil.

After making these two preparations, he immediately ordered the people in the baggage camp to immediately start mobilizing grain, grass, weapons, etc., and continuously transport them to the south of the city.

Finally, he sent an order to close all the shops in the city and the people hid in their homes.

It is said that Kungfu depends on critical moments. In such a chaotic situation, Lu Gui was able to arrange things in such an orderly manner. It must be said that he is indeed a general.

At this time, Lu Gui was on the south gate tower, looking ahead anxiously, because with his excellent eyesight, he had vaguely seen the shadow of a siege vehicle in the distance.

It seems that the enemy does have siege engines, and this is not a bluff.

"Humph, you're good to go!" After Lu Gui saw it, instead of panicking, he felt a little excited. After being depressed for so long, he had to fight hard today. Besides, he had been delayed in Lijiang City for such a long time.
