Chapter 102 Restless Night
The night is blurred, and the stars hang down on the plains.
For Liu Yi, Cao Ren's defeat seemed to be an opportunity to open Pandora's box, but after a brief tranquility, he was greeted with a more terrifying backlash.
Under the night, you can still see the scenes of beacon smoke farther outside the city through the vague moonlight. It was the beacon tower set up by Liu Yi outside the city to warn. It was also because of these beacon towers that the people working outside the city were not poisoned by the war, but were able to escape back to the city as soon as possible.
With Cao's style of conduct, Liu Yi did not think that they would be polite to the people of Mocheng at this time, but it was a pity for the unharvested dealers outside the city.
When he repelled Cao Ren's army, Liu Yi had already expected that today would be there. However, he did not expect that Cao's army would react so quickly. He came one day in the evening. If it weren't for the sky that had dimmed, he might have started to attack the city at this moment. Even so, Liu Yi would not dare to take it lightly. Although night wars in ancient times were not good, it was also a psychological blind spot. If the other generals acted the opposite way, they would catch him off guard. No matter how strong the city defense in Mocheng was, it would be useless if no one guarded it.
So even at night, Liu Yi arranged enough people to defend the city, and specially hung several bronze mirrors to reflect the mirror with torches to achieve the effect of the searchlight. Naturally, it cannot be compared with real searchlights. But at least if a large number of troops attacked at night, this method can be detected.
"Boyuan, now there are only three thousand people coming to the other party. How about we attack at night?" Wei Yue looked at Liu Yi and was eager to try: "Just like when we were waiting in the village to break the bandits."
Liu Yi knelt on the straw mat, supporting the low table with both hands. He didn't answer immediately when he heard this, but his fingers kept tapping the table. He really didn't have much idea about such things, especially this time when Cao Jun was obviously not like Cao Ren before and did not take Mo Cheng seriously.
And the person who came was Xiahou Yuan. Can those bandits in the past be compared? It would be fine if they succeeded. If they fail, Liu Yi felt a little sorry for the soldiers. After all, he was not the real commander. At this time, it is inevitable that the kindness of a woman would be a woman.
He looked at Lu Lingqi beside him.
"Maybe it can be done." Lu Lingqi nodded silently and said, "Even if you cannot defeat the enemy, you can also exhaust the enemy's mind with Bo Yuan's method."
"Then let General Wei do this." Liu Yi sighed, knowing that he was not really the commander. He had a lot of ideas in his mind at this moment, but when he actually made a decision, he was still undecided and he had to correct this problem.
Whoever came up with the idea to work? Since this matter was proposed by Wei Yue, how to implement it naturally fell on Wei Yue's head. When Wei Yue heard this, he was not polite. He nodded and stood up and left.
In the room, only Liu Yi and Lu Lingqi were left. They were used to each other and did not feel embarrassed even if they didn't speak at this moment.
"Can Mocheng be defended?" After a while of silence, Lu Lingqi finally broke the silence first. Although she felt extremely hatred for Xiahou Yuan, she also knew that Xiahou Yuan was a general under Cao Cao's command, and Lu Lingqi did not have much confidence in facing him.
"Don't worry, I personally designed and built Mocheng, and it's not easy to break it." Liu Yi was actually unsure. This kind of war in the era of cold weapons was too far away for him, but at this moment, Lu Lingqi asked, and Liu Yi naturally could not show it. He had to show confidence so that Lu Lingqi would not panic.
Women will be strong when they have no support, but when they have support, they will begin to become weak unconsciously. Now Liu Yi is a man who gives Lu Lingqi a sense of dependence. Naturally, he cannot show his timidity at this time, and Liu Yi is still somewhat confident in Mocheng's defense.
Lu Lingqi nodded silently and suddenly said, "If things cannot be done, let's break through. Although Cao's army is elite and brave, they are not familiar with water wars. If we leave by boat, Cao's army may not be able to do anything."
Liu Yi looked at Lu Lingqi, and suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of courage in his heart, and smiled and said, "This is not the Lingqi I know. Why is the heroic young master who is powerful on the battlefield and kills generals and seizes flags so timid now?"
Lu Lingqi's lips moved, but she didn't say anything, but Liu Yi had already spoken: "Don't worry, Lingqi, Mocheng is not as fragile as you imagined. If Cao's army wants to capture it, unless Cao Cao brings his 800,000 troops and burys my city, otherwise, Cao's army will not step into my Mocheng in this battle!"
As a man, Liu Yi knew that although what he said was tough, his emotions had been sensed by Lu Lingqi. If he could not pass this moment, how could he talk about the future if he could not pass this moment?
"Go to rest, guard the city tomorrow, you have to show up. I don't know if General Wei can gain something tonight, so I'll help him." Liu Yi stood up, rubbed Lu Lingqi's head naturally, and walked out the door with big strides. If he hadn't tripped at the threshold, this back would be very reliable.
Looking at her back who pretended to be fine and disappeared under the night with a calm face, Lu Lingqi suddenly laughed out loud.
Liu Yi turned around a little embarrassedly, but when he saw Lu Lingqi's smile, the darkness around seemed to be dispelled a lot, and the embarrassment on his face naturally turned into a smile: "If you can beat the beautiful woman's smile, it seems that my fall is worth it."
"Haha~" Lu Lingqi showed a polite smile on her face, and the depressing aura accumulated in her heart was wiped out as Liu Yi left.
Face is lost!
After coming out of the yamen, Liu Yi felt a little dry on his face. He had already established a great image, but who knew that he would be ruined by a threshold and his tall and mighty image was embarrassing!
"Sir!" Although it was late at night, there were still soldiers patrolling the night on the street. Liu Yi did not forget that Cao's army was doing fine work among the refugees. At this moment, a team of patrolling soldiers came towards him. When they saw Liu Yi, they hurriedly bowed and saluted.
"No gifts." Liu Yi looked upright and waved to everyone, "By the way, you guys escort me to the city wall."
Liu Yi has not chosen the matter of guarding these days. Liu Sandao is now on the city wall and is walking alone at night. Liu Yi feels insecure and is worried about being assassinated. Although he has accumulated a lot of attributes and is a bit messy, there are also good ones. But if there are really assassins, Liu Yi will still feel panic. This group of soldiers who are patrolling the night are just here.
