Latest URL: The time will soon come to the next day.

When Li Lizhi and the others woke up, Li Chengfeng and Ying Ying were nowhere to be seen.

At this time, on the towers of the inner city of Lingzhou, a group of Musketeers were waiting in full battle.

Zou Ge and Li Chengfeng were sitting on the tower, watching the Turkic army outside the inner city.

Li Chengfeng looked calm and composed, with a confident smile on his face.

But Zou Ge who was sitting next to him was a little restless.

The letter from the Zou family that he received that day left him with a doubt in his mind.

"What the **** is big brother doing?" "Why did he write to me at this time?"

Zou Ge lowered his head, thinking about the content of the letter that day, and frowned.

The two waited on the tower until noon, but the Turks did not attack for a long time.

In the afternoon, there was a sudden rumble in the Turkic army tent.

However, they were not attacking the city, but retreating sharply, as if they were about to withdraw from the outer city of Lingzhou.

"Eighth Prince, what does the other party mean?"

Seeing that the Turkic people were going to withdraw, Zou Ge was very puzzled.

The opponent spent so long attacking the city, but now they easily withdraw?

Not only him, this time Li Chengfeng was also a little puzzled by the retreat of the Turks.

It stands to reason that the support here is in place, but there is still a huge disadvantage in terms of numbers.

The best way for the opponent at this time is not to retreat, but to fight a war of attrition.

As long as the city defense army can be consumed more, if the city guards are short of manpower, mistakes will inevitably occur.

In the successive consumption in the past few days, although the city defense army gained the upper hand slightly.

But the opponent's injury is difficult for the Turkic army.

Why are you retreating at this time?

Li Chengfeng supported his head with his hands, rubbing his fingers on his forehead, thinking about the reason.

Even the soldiers guarding the city were confused by the operation of the Turks.

"The Turks retreated and we won?"

"They must be afraid of the Eighth Prince, the Eighth Prince is really a god!"

"Isn't it? The things that the eighth prince brought out before are better than each other!"

"No matter what, the Turks finally retreated, and we can take a rest!"

"But the Turks have always been wolf cubs. Would they really retreat so easily?"

After the Turks completely evacuated, the City Defense Army and Musketeers took back the outer city without stopping.

But the strange thing is that the Turkic people did not leave completely, but spread out their army and surrounded the outer city of Lingzhou.

Li Chengfeng's original countermeasures were all disrupted.

At this moment, Zou Ge suddenly thought of a terrifying possibility.

"Eighth prince, there will be a guess at the end!"

Zou Ge took out the sheepskin map from his waist and walked in front of Li Chengfeng.

"Oh? But it's okay to say!" Li Chengfeng signaled Zou Ge to express his guess.

Zou Ge nodded and pointed to the Yellow River surrounding Lingzhou City.

Because of the previous drought, they had marked the water sources near Lingzhou City in detail.

Now the Turkic people suddenly gave up the siege, instead of besieging the city.

It is very likely that the riverbed will be dug up and Lingzhou will be flooded.

Water and fire have been merciless since ancient times, especially in Datang where drainage facilities are not yet perfect.

If the Turkic people really flooded Lingzhou, even if Lingzhou City is still there, the people would not know how much they would survive.

This move did not intend to win the city and achieve long-term stability, but to completely destroy the border guard town.

"What a vicious plan!" Zou Ge exclaimed.

Li Chengfeng nodded, Zou Ge's guess was indeed reasonable.

In addition, he could not think of other reasons for the Turkic withdrawal.

The Yellow River is outside the city, and the only way to crack this method is to face it head-on.

To crack this poisonous plan, they can only take the city defense army out of the city to meet the enemy.

With the difference in strength between the two sides, there is basically no possibility of winning if they leave Lingzhou City and take the initiative to attack.

After Li Chengfeng figured out the cause and effect, he fell into deep thought again.

"Let the soldiers guarding the city take turns to rest, the Turks should not attack in a short time!"

After giving instructions to Zou Ge, Li Chengfeng left the city wall and walked towards the post station.

The opponent's general is not only talented in martial arts, he is also an expert in marching and fighting.

In the art of war, the more you win the less, you should win with the general trend. Now the opponent diverts water to release the flood, which is a complete general trend.

The general trend of the world cannot be reversed by manpower, and it seems that the only way for him now is to go out of the city to meet the enemy.

…

Li Chengfeng sat in the military tent until the evening, thinking hard about the strategy against the enemy.

At this time, the shadow brought Xuan Yi and Xuan Er into the tent.

"What's the matter? What's going on outside the city?"

Li Chengfeng quickly got up and walked to the shadow and asked.

He originally planned to let Xuan Yi Xuan Er and Ying Ying lead an army to prepare for a surprise attack.

But because the Turkic actions suddenly disrupted the plan, Li Chengfeng could only let them go out of the city quietly to check for information.

The shadow is originally an assassin, and Xuan Yi and Xuan Er are the most powerful scouts in Tiance's army.

It was easy for them to leave Lingzhou without anyone noticing.

"General Zou's guess is correct. We have seen signs of breaking ground in the Turkic barracks."

"If the plan is really carried out by the Turks, I'm afraid the people of Lingzhou will suffer!"

Ying Ying and Xuan Yi hurriedly reported.

Even those who have experienced years of fighting in the Tang Dynasty feel that this strategy is vicious.

"For the current plan, I'm afraid we can only prepare for a strong attack!"

"We can't let the Turkic people release the flood, otherwise it won't be just Lingzhou that will suffer!" Xuan Er added.

Li Chengfeng nodded, for now, this is really the only way.

"Order Zou Ge to rectify the soldiers and prepare to go out of the city to meet the enemy!"

Thanks to Li Chengfeng's command a few days ago, the efficiency of defending the city has been greatly improved and casualties have been reduced.

Now there are still about 30,000 city defense soldiers in the entire Lingzhou City.

Judging from the offensive in the past few days, there are still 50,000 soldiers on the Turkic side, and this is the case when the other side has no reinforcements.

If you want to attack head-on, it is still difficult with the current number of people, and you must find a solution.

"Flood... defending the city..." Li Chengfeng pondered this matter back and forth in his mind.

It was only after a quarter of an hour that he thought of a way to make a frontal attack with a chance.

"So you guys take two boxes of grenades tomorrow~lightnovelpub.net~ and do as I say."

"You go around to the back of the Turkic camp first, and then..."

"After doing this, you come back immediately, and we will act at midnight!"

Li Chengfeng arranged the next plan in an orderly manner.

What he didn't know was that an old acquaintance was in Zou Ge's military tent at this time.

Zou Qi and Zou Ge sat opposite each other.

"Why? Have you figured it out?" Zou Qi rolled his eyes at his younger brother Zou Ge and said with a clever smile.

Beside him were two skinny men in black.

If Li Chengfeng and the others could recognize them at a glance, they were both Gu corpses.

"I've figured it out...I agree to your request!" Zou Ge nodded, gritted his teeth and agreed.
