The Return of the Demon

Chapter 852: Finally Here, Attack the City Tomorrow Night

Ning Chen narrowed his eyes and stared at Chai Jiayu on the city wall, and said word by word: "General Chai, I can't bear to see the casualties of the soldiers in the northern border, but you disregard their lives and deaths, so you can't blame me!

Listen, soldiers on the city wall, you are all my Daxuan's loyal sons, I can't bear to fight with you...But General Chai is stubborn, for the sake of Daxuan's country and people, I can only attack the city.

Remember, if I enter the city, those who surrender will not be killed, and those who resist will be killed without mercy...Tonight, I will lead the army to attack the city!"

After saying that, Ning Chen took Tan Tai Qingyue away on horseback.

The soldiers on the city wall looked at each other, none of them wanted to fight Ning Chen.

Ning Chen has never been defeated, and the Ning'an Army under his command has terrifying combat effectiveness, and it can be said to be invincible on the battlefield.

Look at the previous Daxuan, when Ning Chen was there, how dare those scoundrels offend an inch of Daxuan?

But now, neighboring countries dare to jump out to provoke Daxuan, and Nanyue even occupies two states of Daxuan and the Hundred Miles Corridor.

Kong He looked at Chai Jiayu, "General, the soldiers are afraid of fighting when facing Ning Chen. Ning Chen's words just now have shaken the morale of the army... You have to say a few words to appease the morale of the army!"

Kong He was right, and the soldiers had their own considerations in their hearts.

Chai Jiayu thought about it, nodded slightly, and shouted: "Soldiers, don't listen to Ning Chen's evil words. We are soldiers of Daxuan. We should be loyal to the emperor and love the country... Ning Chen took the initiative to provoke war and intends to seize power and usurp the throne. We must not let him get what he wants.

Ning Chen has only 40,000 soldiers and horses, what is there to be afraid of? We have 160,000 troops. Even if he is asked to chop 160,000 pieces of wood, he will be exhausted.

Don't worry, with this general here, Ning Chen will not be able to break into the city."

Chai Jiayu said passionately, but the people below wanted to laugh.

Are you here?

What's the use of you?

What are your military achievements? How many battles have you fought? When we followed the Grand Tutor to rebel, we were pinned to the ground by Ning Chen.

The last time we rebelled, Ning Chen spared their lives.

If they fall into Ning Chen's hands again this time, will they still have a chance to survive?

No one knows what the other soldiers think in their hearts? But the soldiers who followed the Grand Tutor to rebel have already made up their minds. If Ning Chen breaks in, they will surrender.

Ning Chen said that those who surrender will not be killed!

......

Ning Chen and Tan Tai Qingyue returned to the camp.

"Xiao Tanzi, go find Yuan Long for me!"

Tan Tai Qingyue: "......."

Ning Chen looked at her, "Why, everyone is busy setting up camp, but you are idle... You can't let me go alone, right?"

Tan Tai Qingyue snorted and turned away.

Ning Chen smiled and returned to the tent to wait for a while.

After Yuan Long arrived, Ning Chen looked at Tan Tai Qing Yue, "Okay, you can go back!"

The corners of Tan Tai Qing Yue's mouth hidden under her face twitched fiercely a few times.

Ning Chen said: "What we are going to talk about next is military secrets. Is it appropriate for you, a Xiliang spy, to be here?"

Tan Tai Qing Yue left with a cold face!

Ning Chen smiled silently, then looked at Yuan Long and said: "At midnight tonight, you lead 3,000 Ning'an troops to attack the city."

"I obey your order!"

Yuan Long didn't care whether 3,000 people were enough, anyway, he would do whatever Ning Chen asked him to do.

Ning Chen smiled and said: "Remember, it's a feint attack!"

"Yes!"

Ning Chen gave a few more instructions and let Yuan Long go!

It was midnight, that is, twelve o'clock in the evening.

Dong Dong Dong! ! !

The war drums were beating.

Yuan Long led 3,000 Ning'an troops to charge towards the border.

On the city wall, the soldiers listened to the sound of war drums resounding through the sky, their faces turned pale, and their palms sweated nervously.

Because the northern border city gate is several miles long, like a giant dragon, the city wall can accommodate tens of thousands of troops.

Chai Jiayu mobilized 70,000 troops to garrison the city wall, including 30,000 archers.

War drums beat, horses' hooves clanged!

The soldiers on the city wall were terrified.

But suddenly, the sound of war drums disappeared, and the sound of horses' hooves also faded away!

All the soldiers were confused... What's going on?

Chai Jiayu heard the news, rode his horse and rushed over, climbed to the top of the city, and there was a dead silence outside the city.

He couldn't help asking: "Didn't they say Ning Chen started to attack the city? Where are the people?"

A general hurriedly said: "General, the war drums were beating just now, the horses' hooves clanged... but suddenly everything became quiet."

Chai Jiayu looked confused and turned his head to look at Kong He.

Kong He's eyes flickered, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "It's a feint attack... Ning Chen is trying to disrupt our army's morale."

Chai Jiayu said, "So, Ning Chen didn't want to attack the city tonight?"

Kong He shook his head, "Not necessarily... Maybe Ning Chen is just waiting for us to relax our vigilance."

Chai Jiayu nodded, called the messenger, and said, "Pass my military order, everyone be vigilant to prevent Ning Chen from attacking."

"Yes!"

And Ning Chen was sleeping soundly in the tent at this time.

The three thousand Ning'an troops led by Yuan Long have also returned to the camp to rest!

Only the soldiers in the northern border stared with two big eyes, fearing that Ning Chen would attack.

At dawn, Chai Jiayu couldn't bear it anymore and was ready to go back to rest...It was almost dawn, and Ning Chen couldn't attack in broad daylight.

But when he was halfway there, he heard the beating of war drums outside the city.

Chai Jiayu was shocked, and hurriedly turned his horse's head back, trotting all the way to the top of the city.

But at this moment, the drums stopped, and the city fell into silence again!

Chai Jiayu was furious and feinted again.

Ning Chen, this bitch!

Chai Jiayu cursed Ning Chen's ancestors several times in his heart!

He was about to go back to rest, but he heard Kong He say: "General, the first two times were feints... I'm afraid the third time will be a real attack on the city!"

Chai Jiayu didn't dare to leave, staring at the outside of the city with his big eyes.

But until noon, there was no movement from Ning Chen.

Chai Jiayu was tired and angry, with red eyes, standing on the city to greet Ning Chen's family... but he didn't dare to curse too loudly, for fear of being heard by Ning Chen.

The soldiers on the city were highly nervous that night, exhausted at this time, with bloodshot eyes.

Fortunately, there are many soldiers and generals in the north, so they can change defense and take turns to rest!

Ning Chen was staying in the tent at this time, eating a small meal, so leisurely.

At midnight that day, Yuan Long led his men to make another feint attack.

At dawn, he made another feint attack.

The next few days were like this, just like clocking in at work, once at midnight and once at dawn, so punctual.

Ning Chen's army was almost bored to death!

But the northern army was almost tortured to death these days, eating and sleeping poorly.

A few days passed in a flash, and every day was the same. Yuan Long led his men to make a feint attack on time.

At the beginning, Chai Jiayu did not dare to relax at all... But he gradually got used to it these days.

That day, when Ning Chen was bored, Yuan Long asked for a meeting.

"Come in!"

Yuan Long lifted the curtain and walked in, leaning over and said: "Your Highness, the scouts just reported that the 150,000 God Wolf Army of Wu Kingdom will arrive in one day."

Ning Chen's eyes lit up, "Finally here... Attack the city tomorrow!"

He had been besieging but not attacking, just waiting for the God Wolf Army.

And he was not worried that Emperor De would send troops to support. Even if it was expedited for 800 miles, it would take more than a month for the news here to reach the capital... So, waiting for ten days or half a month was nothing!
