The best ring

Outside Linshui City, in the camp of Shuiyue Country.

Shi Wenhao leaned over to look at the map on the table, frowning occasionally, and occasionally thinking.

Shi Wenhao had already felt the determination of the Black Water Country to reach their Shuiyue Country. He thought that Linshui City was just like that. As long as their army arrived, they would be able to easily take it down. However, they did not expect that Linshui City would be more difficult to attack than they imagined. In today's attack, they did not even touch the wall of Linshui City. At the same time, many soldiers were killed and injured. Such a result made Shi Wenhao very dissatisfied.

Before arriving in Linshui City, Shi Wenhao was thinking about holding a celebration banquet in Linshui City today. However, now he can only live in this cold tent. Such a contrast is difficult for him to accept.

"How is the situation over there, General Sun?" Shi Wenhao asked the personal soldiers around him.

"Reply to the general, General Sun has led his army to the surrounding cities and is acting according to the plan." The personal soldiers next to him said.

The General Sun they were talking about was the person in charge of going to the surrounding cities to capture civilians as cannon fodder today. After receiving the order, General Sun immediately led his men away from the main force and headed towards the surrounding cities.

Moreover, in order to speed up efficiency, General Sun also divided his troops into several groups, heading in different directions, preparing to capture civilians in different cities at the same time.

Because the soldiers he led were all cavalry, General Sun's actions were still very fast.

Cavalry played a small role in siege warfare, but they were quite handy in doing such things.

Shi Wenhao had been paying attention to General Sun's actions. After all, the attack on Linshui City was blocked, and the key to breaking the deadlock was General Sun, so he had to pay attention.

"Very good, send another message to urge." Shi Wenhao nodded and said.

The night attack just now was indeed a test for him. He wanted to see if the traps and formations outside the city would change at night. However, the reality was cruel. Those traps and formations still existed. In this way, Shi Wenhao could only choose to wait for General Sun to bring the people from the surrounding cities to come to support and break the situation.

As for the battle with Black Water Country, until now, Shi Wenhao did not think he would lose. Although today's attack was unfavorable, he only thought that it was the people of Black Water Country who caused him some troubles and would not affect the final result.

What Shi Wenhao cares about is the time to capture Linshui City. If a small Linshui City blocks him for too long, even if he finally takes it down, he will be quite embarrassed when he returns. Therefore, he wants to take Linshui City in the shortest time and urges General Sun to act as soon as possible.

And General Sun obviously understands Shi Wenhao's idea very well. He is now gathering and driving the people to Linshui City in a hurry.

Until the daybreak, the people of the surrounding cities, driven by General Sun and his men, came to Linshui City.

"How is the situation?" Wu Fan appeared on the top of the city again and asked Peng Chuan.

After the failure of the night attack of the Shuiyue Kingdom army, Peng Chuan went back to rest for a while. Before Wu Fan appeared, he had just got up. The traps and formations outside the city gave him a great sense of security. These things can help them buy more time, and with this time, they can make more Zhuge Liannu and wait for more reinforcements. In this way, it is not impossible to defend Linshui City.

"Last night, the army outside the city launched a night attack, but the scale was not large. After being blocked by the traps outside the city again, they decisively retreated." Peng Chuan replied.

"Is the general of the Shuiyue Kingdom too naive or stubborn?" Wu Fan laughed.

Wu Fan was quite confident about the traps and formations he had set up. As long as there were no people who knew this in the army of Shuiyue Country, the army of Shuiyue Country could only use human lives to break through the traps and formations and attack Linshui City.

However, Wu Fan could completely repair the formations and traps while they were doing this. In this way, he could greatly maintain the operation of the traps and formations, greatly consume the manpower of Shuiyue Country, and even severely damage them.

So, using human lives to fill the gaps is theoretically possible, but the price to pay is too high. Wu Fan still hopes that the people of Shuiyue Country will use this "good method."

"I guess he is a little bit unbelieving." Peng Chuan also laughed.

The situation is favorable to them, and Peng Chuan is in a good mood. Most of the previous anxiety and worry have dissipated.

However, the smile on Wu Fan's face suddenly stagnated and froze there.

Peng Chuan noticed the change in Wu Fan's expression at the first time, and asked in confusion: "Sir, what's wrong?"

"Something happened." Wu Fan said in a deep voice.

"What happened?" Peng Chuan subconsciously looked at the camp of Shuiyue Kingdom outside the city. However, everything was normal there. If there was anything wrong, it might be that the other party was too quiet. Obviously, the other party did not intend to launch an attack at this time and seemed to be resting.

This is normal. After all, the army of Shuiyue Kingdom had just arrived here, and it was normal to rest.

"It's not those people outside." Wu Fan shook his head and said, "It's someone else."

"Someone else?" Peng Chuan was even more confused, not knowing who Wu Fan was referring to.

"Shuiyue Kingdom seems to have figured out a way to crack those things outside the city." Wu Fan said, "They sent people to the surrounding cities."

"Go to the surrounding cities?" Peng Chuan was stunned at first, and then his face changed drastically: "Sir, do you mean that they found civilians from the surrounding cities to be cannon fodder?"

Wu Fan nodded. This was the information he had just learned through the Black Shadow Four-winged Bird.

Wu Fan also did not expect that the generals of Shuiyue Kingdom would react so quickly and so ruthlessly. They did think of using human lives to fill the traps and formations outside the city, but they did not intend to use their own people to fill them. Instead, they are prepared to use the lives of the people of Blackwater Kingdom to fill the gap. In this way, not only can they destroy the traps and formations outside the city, but they can also demoralize the defenders inside Linshui City. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.

Peng Chuan's face was ugly. The reason why he could guess what the people of the Shuiyue Kingdom did so easily was because the army of the Shuiyue Kingdom had done this kind of thing before. However, the people of the Shuiyue Kingdom had used them before. The soldiers of the Blackwater Kingdom were at the forefront as cannon fodder. Now that there was no army to use, they chose to use the common people.

"Damn it, these bastards!"

Peng Chuan hammered the city wall in front of him, and then he understood why the troops outside the city were not in a hurry to attack the city. They were waiting for the cannon fodder to arrive. Once the people were driven here, they would be on their side. Caught in a dilemma.
