After the Tufan soldiers figured out that it was a small group of enemy harassment, they immediately reorganized their troops to counterattack. When the siege soldiers at the front entered the shooting range of the archers on the city wall, a storm of arrows came towards them, and the counterattack was about to begin.

The Tufan soldiers who came up blocked the way.

The Tufan archers who followed immediately came forward to cover and shoot at the city wall. However, if they wanted to shoot arrows on the city wall, they had to rush into the shooting range of the defending archers. After they rushed through the rain of arrows,

Before they could bend their bows and nock arrows, they found that the cavalry under the city wall had raised their swords to kill them. They were so frightened that they ran back.

The cavalry troops led by Tianci killed the enemy archers and retreated without pursuing them. They retreated to the base of the city wall and were ready. Once any siege troops or archers broke through the defense line of the archers on the city wall and attacked the city wall,

Just rush out immediately and destroy them.

In this way, the rapid and mobile cavalry troops and the defensive range formed by the archers and crossbowmen on the city wall complemented and supported each other, forming a complementary trend, and tightly controlled the enemy's siege force dozens of feet away.

The city wall is no longer easily accessible.

After the success of this battle, General Huang was overjoyed and immediately ordered Tianci to be promoted to deputy governor of the cavalry battalion, making him responsible for leading all the cavalry in the army to fortify the perimeter of the city wall.

The Tufan army tried to attack the city several times later, but all failed. They could not find a way to deal with this defensive method for a while. The two sides gradually formed a stalemate with each other. The Tufan army only yelled and cursed from the outside.

The siege did not attack, and the Dafeng Kingdom also defended but did not leave, and the war calmed down for a while.

There has been no fighting between the two sides for more than half a month. The officers and soldiers in the city who were freed from the brutal battles in front of them rarely took this opportunity to recuperate and recuperate. The soldiers' vitality was also greatly restored. In a relatively peaceful environment, the city suddenly became peaceful.

There was an atmosphere of joy everywhere.

After Tianci led two cavalry battalions to complete the patrol around the city, he returned to the camp and went to bed early to rest. In the middle of the night, he suddenly woke up from his dream and sat up from the bed, feeling that there was some kind of disturbance.

He closed his eyes, raised his head slightly, and listened calmly for a while. He clearly felt that there was a sound that did not belong to ordinary nights and had never been heard before.

He got off the bed, put on his clothes, and walked out of the tent. It was a dark and windy night, and everything was dark. To other people's ears, except for some wind noise, it could be said that everything was completely silent, but to God's ears, it was completely silent.

Like thousands of horses galloping, all kinds of sounds are captured by its magical ears.

After walking around the military camp, he rushed to the city tower. He climbed up the city tower from the north gate and looked outside the city. In the dark distance, he could vaguely see lights and figures in the enemy camp.

After watching for a while, Tianci patrolled the tower again. While pacing back and forth, he immersed himself in distinguishing carefully, trying to sort out the distinctive one from the numerous sound messages.

After a long time, he suddenly stopped, stood there, and looked up into the distance outside the tower. For a moment, he nodded deeply twice, as if he was confident, and with a knowing smile on his face, he looked towards the tower again.

After looking outside for a while, he walked back down the tower with a smile on his face and walked back to the barracks.

Two days later, there was news in the city that Emperor Dafeng would visit Wulingzhou City in person. There were various opinions about the emperor's intention to visit the front line, and the atmosphere in the city suddenly became tense again.

Sure enough, on the third day, the leaders of the major military camps were summoned to a meeting and came back with the message that the imperial court would send senior officials to the front lines to supervise operations in the near future, and asked the heads of various departments to clean up the military style and discipline, repair defensive fortifications, and improve the city defense.

People started cleaning the streets and alleys, and the whole city was mobilized to prepare for the imperial envoy.

There is also a deputy governor in the cavalry battalion, named Wan Chengpeng. He was originally a disciple of an official in the imperial court. He had a position in the army, but he had never participated in a battle. He originally wanted to experience the front line and gain some experience in politics.

It was just capital, and he didn't want to be trapped here for a while without being able to get out. He had already heard that the imperial minister sent by the imperial court this time was his father's family friend. The current Taiwei Shi Kecheng Shi Taiwei was overjoyed and felt that this was a good opportunity.

, must be caught.

He immediately came to the Governor to pay homage to Sir Wang. After a while of greetings, he said straight to the point: "Master Governor, I received a letter from my father a few days ago saying that this time the imperial court will send Captain Shi to the front line to supervise the battle. I hope I can seize the opportunity.

, strive to make heroic achievements on the front line to serve the imperial court. I hope the Lord Governor can give me some small opportunities."

Mr. Wang smiled understandingly and said: "General Wan is still a general and a descendant of a hero. He is a model for our army. However, there is a huge disparity in strength between our army and the enemy. If we can hold the Central Plains without losing at present, it is considered as our best effort."

, it is really not easy to make achievements on the battlefield now."

"However, the cavalry battalion made a surprise attack on the enemy in the early stage, and then fully assisted in the defense of the city, forming a stalemate with the enemy. This is a great achievement. You are also involved in it. When the time comes, when the battle report is reported to the court,

Doesn’t it all depend on what I say?” Mr. Wang changed the topic and spoke meaningfully to Wan Chengpeng.

Wan Chengpeng was overjoyed when he heard this and quickly clasped his fists and bowed: "Then I will rely more on you to support me. I will definitely do my best for you, even if I die!"

"General Wan, why are you so polite? I still expect you to say a few good words for me in front of Captain Shi, ha...ha..." Mr. Wang laughed heartily and helped Wan Chengpeng up.

The next day, when Tianci was gathering the cavalry team and preparing to start his daily inspection around the city, he saw a young officer riding a tall horse, accompanied by two lieutenants, majestically coming to the front of the camp.

When Tianci just waved his hand to signal the team to set off, the officer suddenly shouted: "Stop!". The soldiers in the cavalry battalion stopped and looked at him. Tianci also looked at him, feeling that he did not recognize this person and wanted to

I can't remember where I saw it.

The man rode his horse forward, came to Tianci, raised his hands, and said arrogantly: "Are you Deputy Governor Zhang? I am Wan Chengpeng, also the Deputy Governor of the Cavalry Battalion. I am now leading the cavalry on the orders of Governor Wang.

The soldiers of the battalion are conducting defense outside the city. Please ask Deputy Governor Zhang to cooperate." After that, he took out a token from his waist and waved it in front of Tianci.

Tianci listened to what he said and replied: "The cavalry battalion has been assembled here. Since the governor has the order, I would like to ask Mr. Wan to dispatch it." He thought of the deputy governor of the cavalry battalion who had never shown his face before, and wondered why he suddenly appeared today.

He was interested in participating in military activities, but he was happy to leave this job to him and he had to relax for a while.

Wan Chengpeng ordered the cavalry battalions to line up and circle back and forth on the playground in a marching formation. From time to time, he picked out a few cavalry soldiers from the queue and asked them to line up and wait for orders.

Finally, after selecting about sixty cavalry warriors, he ordered them: "You guys will follow me to the city gate for ceremonial training. The rest will still be led by Vice Governor Zhang to patrol around the city." He said.

After that, he led the group of people and set off towards the city gate.
Chapter completed!
