After a day of hard work.
The already very tired garrison soldiers, after eating and drinking, hugged each other and fell asleep with their weapons in their arms.
They cuddled up against each other and fell asleep in this rare peaceful night.
Of course, there are still guards.
Jiang Wan led more than a hundred soldiers and stayed on guard for half the night.
After that, Liu Cong led the soldiers to guard for the rest of the night.
Although it is estimated that the barbarian army will not attack the city at night, who dares to really confirm it?
They don't want to be killed in a dream without knowing it.
Let most of the soldiers rest and arrange for a small number of soldiers to take turns to keep vigil.
That is the best plan.
The sky slowly lights up, and the sun reveals its face from the east, which also represents the arrival of a new day.
After much of the night.
Liu Cong also woke up from his sleep and took over Jiang Wan's night vigil work.
He also woke up by himself.
According to the set requirements, it was Jiang Wan who woke him up to hand over the vigil.
However, he also knew that Jiang Wan would probably not do what he was asked to do.
When he wakes up.
Some time passed in the middle of the night.
If he hadn't woken up, Jiang Wan would never have woken him up, and he would have stayed up like this until dawn.
Moreover, even after he wakes up.
Jiang Wandu still didn't plan to rest, but asked him to rest.
If he didn't use a commanding tone in the end, he would still have to argue. , He shook his head and threw away the thoughts in his mind.
Looking at the soldiers sleeping in each other's arms with their backs against the city wall on the passage of the city wall, he didn't want to wake them up if possible.
But things are never as beautiful as imagined, and the city still needs to be defended.
Wait until the cook brings breakfast up to the city wall.
With the smell of food, many sleeping soldiers had already opened their eyes and stood up without anyone shouting.
After eating, they had the strength to wield their weapons and kill the enemy.
However, before everyone could take a few bites.
Then he saw smoke and dust billowing in the distance outside the city, flags waving, and countless soldiers coming towards the city like a torrent.
"Here we come," Liu Cong said with a twinkle in his eye.
"It seems that today will not be like yesterday."
Jiang Wan, who was on the side, also smiled.
The two looked at each other, with smiles on their lips.
Although they didn't know why the barbarian army retreated at the last moment, it would never happen again, so.
"Let the soldiers be ready," Liu Cong ordered.
"promise" However, there was no need to give orders at all, when the barbarian camp that was stationed three miles away took action and countless barbarian troops came towards the city.
The soldiers guarding the city didn't care whether they were choking or not.
They wolfed down their breakfast, picked up their weapons, and walked directly to the corresponding position, staring closely at the barbarian army coming towards the city. from time to time The massive and numerous Nanman army came to a place only five hundred meters away from the city, stopped, and formed an array.
The two armies faced each other and looked at each other.
In the barbarian camp.
A rough young man rode out on horseback, looked at Liu Cong on the city wall, and shouted: "I am Meng Huo, the barbarian king.
If you, Second Master Liu, are willing to surrender to me, I will ensure that you become the lord of Jiaozhou."
The man riding out was none other than the lord of the Southern Barbarians, the Barbarian King Meng Huo.
"What if I don't surrender?"
Liu Cong put his hand on the edge of the city wall and stared at Meng Huo and said.

"Then don't worry about my ruthlessness.
When the city is broken, everyone in the city will be slaughtered," Meng Huo shouted with a fierce look in his eyes.
Liu Cong looked at Meng Huo with disdain and said, "Meng Huo doesn't need to waste any more words.
The city is here.
If you have the ability, come and get it."
"Don't you really care about the life and death of your soldiers?"
Meng Huo said.
"Huh!"
Liu Cong snorted and shouted: "How can I be a man who is greedy for life and afraid of death?
Why should I be afraid of a battle?"
Hear what Meng Huo said.
How could he not know Meng Huo's plan and want to take the opportunity to suppress their morale and divide their relationship so that he can easily and quickly capture Jianning City.
Internal disintegration is the most fatal.
Unfortunately, Meng Huo made a wrong calculation.
"war" "war" "war" The garrison soldiers on the city wall also raised their weapons and shouted in unison, echoing Liu Cong's words.
As Liu Cong said, they, Jiaozhou Erlang, are not people who are greedy for life and afraid of death.
How could they be afraid of war?
If you want to fight, then fight
Seeing the situation on the city wall, and the high morale of the defenders.
Meng Huo's face didn't look very good either, and he understood that persuasion and separation were no longer possible, and he could only attack by force.
"Ah Hui Nan" "The subordinates are here" "You lead 20,000 soldiers and seize the city with a stick of incense."
"promise" The furious Meng Huo also directly issued the order to attack the city, no longer willing to waste any more words.
The look Liu Cong looked at the city wall was not very friendly.
He wanted to see how hard Liu Cong's bones were and how the defenders with less than 5,000 soldiers could resist the pace of his army.
After Ah Hui Nan accepted Meng Huo's order, he turned around and left on horseback.
He singled out 20,000 barbarian soldiers and headed for the city.
You must know that he is also an ambitious person.
Although he is under Meng Huo's command and is one of the three cave marshals, he is thinking about the position of the cave master.
Yesterday, they suffered heavy losses but failed to capture Jianning City.
Although Meng Huo's situation was involved, they still made Jin Huan Sanjie and Dong Tan laugh a lot, which made him feel very unhappy.
Knowing that they only have a competitive relationship, if there is a chance, they will definitely suppress each other without hesitation.
Now is the time for him to wash away his shame.
"kill" Ah Hui Nan gave a loud shout and rushed towards the city at the head of the crowd.
The 20,000 barbarian soldiers who were singled out also followed behind A Huinan and moved towards the city to cover up the attack.
Among them were soldiers carrying ladders.
"shoot arrows" Seeing the barbarian army launching a charge, Liu Cong also directly gave the order to attack.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh There were bursts of sound breaking through the air.
Then he saw arrows with cold light shot out from the city wall, forming a dense rain of arrows in the air, and falling towards the charging barbarian soldiers.
However.
The dense rain of arrows could not stop the charging pace of the barbarian soldiers.
Moving forward quickly despite the rain of arrows.
Moreover, after three rounds of arrow rain, no more arrows were shot from the city wall, and it was even more impossible to stop the charge of the barbarian soldiers. for such a situation.
Liu Cong also felt very helpless.
In the battle yesterday, there were no more arrows.
The ones shot today were all picked from some corpses when cleaning the battlefield.

"Get ready to fight," Liu Cong shouted.
The archers also threw away the long bows in their hands, took out the sabers from their waists, and approached the city wall.
Without the arrows, the long bows no longer had any influence.
The only useful thing was the sabers at their waists. .
As for the long bow, without the arrows, it seems to be a bit in the way.
It is difficult to kill even in short-hand combat
