Tens of thousands of people in Danyang County worked hard outside the city during the day to cut down wood. Before night came, they carried a large amount of wood back to the city.

With the delivery of a large amount of food, although the food is enough, the firewood consumes a huge amount.

80,000 people in the city need firewood when they eat to make a fire.

Making equipment to protect the city, rolling wood, and resisting horses also requires a lot of wood.

No one knows how long will the 200,000 Wu army siege besieged the city? One or two months, or more?

...

Night falls.

The last group of people entered the city with wood loaded with ox carts.

The heavy wooden doors in Danyang County are slowly closed.

A group of blacksmiths carried thick iron plates and nails on the city gate. They quickly transformed the wooden city gate into an indestructible iron plate gate.

Even if it hits a city car, it is difficult to destroy the iron gate.

On the mud wall of ten feet, a torch was lit every ten steps, and the pizza burned violently.

There are newly built two-meter-high arrow towers on the city tower. On each arrow tower are several soldiers from the Night Owl Camp, with telescopes hanging around their necks, which can be seen hundreds of steps away.

Chu Tianxiu and Li Yu were both wearing armor, carrying Zuer, Dier, County Magistrate Li Gannian, Crown Prince Xiang Tiange, Shen Wanbao, etc., and a group of generals inspected the city of Danyang County.

On the top of the mud wall.

All of them are 6,000 musketeers and 100 small steel artillery soldiers from Danyang City.

Even ten bronze cannons weighing 500 kilograms were cast and pushed up to the city gate, with the black muzzle facing about five miles outside the city.

The gunpowder gunmen were sitting on the ground with gunpowder guns, leaning on the top of the city, tilting their heads and dozing off.

Once the sentry discovers the enemy, they will immediately get up to fight.

There are also students from the Military Academy and nobles who came to observe, who were also helping to learn how to use musket soldiers to fight.

When there will be more muskets produced in the future, they will be musketeers and lead troops to fight.

The 50,000 elite soldiers of the imperial court have not yet learned to use firearms and cannot defend the city for a while. They can only fight and learn firearms first.

Chu Tianxiu climbed up an arrow tower, held a telescope, and looked into the distance outside the city.

I don't know why.

No trace of enemy cavalry or spies can be seen.

The 200,000 Wu army stopped at an extremely far distance and did not surround Danyang County. It did not even appear within ten miles of Danyang County.

It was just a faint torch that appeared in the distant woods outside the city.

Chu Tianxiu was a little puzzled.

Could it be that he was afraid of the King of Wu, and that King of Wu Xiang Bi's camp did not dare to be too close to Danyang County?

It was so far away that he rushed out of the city to raid the Wu army camp, which was difficult for him to do.

"Yexiao Camp, take ten cavalry to see the situation of the Wu army!"

Chu Tianxiu ordered.

"yes!"

Immediately, a team of more than ten light cavalrymen from Yexiao Camp left Danyang County and ran to the Wu army camp in the distance in the dark.

After half an hour.

These light cavalrymen came back and reported: "Report to General Zuo, the Wu army did not approach our Danyang County.

Set up a camp ten miles away and built a six-petal plum blossom camp.

Outside the camp, there were guards and bonfires, and the defense was very tight.

They cut down a large amount of wood overnight and transported it back to the camp. The number was very large, far exceeding the need to build the camp."

Li Yu couldn't help but ponder: "A lot of logging? That's to build siege equipment overnight! The city car and ladder all need wood."

"It seems that the Wu army is going to fight a head-on siege!"

Chu Tianxiu sighed lightly.

Danyang County is a mud wall, very low, only one meter high. That is, two people are tall.

If it is a thief, both of them can climb up the city wall of the county town by stepping on their shoulders. If you build a ladder, it will be easier.

Attacking a small county town has always been easier.

However, King Xiang Bi of Wu was still very cautious. He was more cautious and cautious than attacking Wanling City.

Ten miles away, he set up camp and built a large number of siege equipment overnight.

This is clearly a decisive battle.

Prepare to break through Danyang County.

"The King of Wu is so cautious and will not engage in night attacks. It should be a decisive battle tomorrow. Arrange the Night Owl Camp to patrol outside the city, and the sentries stand guard. Everyone has a good sleep tonight, eat enough to eat and drink tomorrow morning, eat a big meal, and prepare for the war."

Chu Tianxiu said.

The generals nodded and went to the city to rest.

Sure enough, nothing happened overnight.

King Xiang Bi of Wu did not even send cavalry whistles to Danyang City to inquire about the situation.

Most of the time I think it is unnecessary. It is just a small county town, but it is not much different from other local county towns.

Even if Xiao Hunhou has great skills, he will never be able to transform a small county town into a county town two meters high.

...

The next day.

breaking Dawn.

It's just dawning.

A luxurious mansion in the city.

Chu Tianxiu got up early and put on a full set of general armor and cloak.

You can know without looking in the mirror that you must be very majestic and handsome young generals. It is just that they are heavy in weight and it is inconvenient to walk on them.

Zuer brought a large plate of fragrant pork and mutton meat on the table and smiled and said, "Son-in-law, come and eat it. This is made by the imperial chef in the palace. The emperor specially sent the imperial chef from the palace to Danyang City to reward the aunt."

"Is this a full meal? Is it easy to get on the road?"

Chu Tianxiu smiled and picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of big meat. He took a bite. It turned out to be soft and tender, and his mouth was full of fragrance.

"Ph, pah~! When the princess heard it, she must be talking about the son-in-law."

Joo pouted.

"What did you hear?"

But he saw Li Yu wearing red armor and holding a helmet, and came out of the wing room next to him with Di'er.

Zuer stuck out his tongue and hurriedly said, "Princess, have breakfast soon."

"The imperial chef in the palace is good at craftsmanship. Madam, you eat more."

Chu Tianxiu smiled.

Li Yu tasted a little, nodded repeatedly, quite approving.

Several people gathered around the table and finished their breakfast calmly.

At this point, not only the military and civilians in Danyang City need breakfast, but also the Wu army.

Only after breakfast and full meals can one have the energy to fight. If you don’t eat well and go to the battlefield, the soldiers will not work hard to fight.

"Report——! Son-in-law, princess!"

Li Gannian was in a hurry and his face turned pale, "The 200,000 Wu army marched towards our Danyang County...... It is coming in full force!

The siege equipment they made seemed a bit strange, not a ladder, nor was it a car or a ladder. They had never seen it, nor had they been recorded in military books."

"How weird?"

Li Yuqi said.

"This...can't be said, son-in-law, you'd better go and see it yourself."

Li Gannian said.

Chu Tianxiu and Li Yu looked at each other, and were both confused. They immediately left the yard, climbed to the top of Danyang City, and watched Wu Jun's movements.
