Chapter 1575: No choice

Nanping State, Fengyu City.

"Kill!"

"Archers, what are the archers doing? Shoot them to death!"

"Damn it, pour oil, pour oil, scald them to death!"

"The rebels are on the top of the city, I need support here!"

......

The offensive and defensive battles around Fengyu City are still going on, and the fighting is still fierce. The rebels outside the city can still attack the top of the city from time to time.

However, compared with the beginning of this war, the defenders in Fengyu City have become accustomed to the daily battles, and are no longer as nervous and scared as they were at a loss.

Facing the enemy's siege, they are no longer timid, but boldly counterattack, swearing, but their hands are not slow at all. Many soldiers who were only recruits at the beginning of the war have become qualified veterans at this time. Although the battle in Fengyu City is still continuing and is also very fierce, the casualties of the defenders in the city are getting fewer and fewer every day, the morale is getting higher and higher, and the combat effectiveness is no longer constantly improving.

Compared with the improvement of the situation in the city, the rebel forces outside the city are getting worse and worse. Although their combat effectiveness has not decreased significantly, their morale has been seriously affected. They thought they could capture Fengyu City quickly, but it has been delayed until now. A sense of anxiety began to spread in the army.

Cai Cheng, the Minister of War, keenly discovered this uneasy mood. He was already in a bad mood, and became even more depressed and irritable.

Cai Cheng was in a bad mood during this period. The direction of the war was beyond his expectations. In his opinion, Fengyu City could be captured in just three or two days, but now, it has been unknown how many three or two days. He is still outside the city and has no way to step into the city. Although his troops have rushed to the top of the city many times, they were driven down by the enemy every time. The defenders in the city became more and more handy in dealing with them.

Cai Cheng knew that if the situation continued to develop like this, he might be defeated. He smiled and said that the last one might be Wu Ya, not him. Such a result was obviously not something Cai Cheng was willing to accept.

Therefore, Cai Cheng knew that he had to make changes, and the most direct way to change was to use the inner support in the city, because the stalemate on their side made many city lords who were originally biased towards him become shaken, and those who had promised to send troops to support him also began to wait and see.

Therefore, Cai Cheng now has few means to use.

However, just when Cai Cheng wanted to use the inner support in the city, he found out that some of the inner support in the city had acted without his order before, which resulted in their identities being exposed and they were killed or captured by the defenders in the city.

This made Cai Cheng particularly angry. Before leaving the city, he repeatedly warned that no private action was allowed without his order, but those people in the city obviously did not obey his order.

After knowing that some of his inner supporters were caught, Cai Cheng did not dare to use the rest of the people immediately, fearing that the defenders in the city would find out. After all, they had just caught a group of inner supporters, and this was a sensitive moment. If there was any movement in the city, they would find out.

Therefore, Cai Cheng had to temporarily postpone the use of the inner support in the city and continue the strong attack.

However, after a few days, the effect was still not obvious. In fact, the irritability in their army became more and more serious. In addition, Jiao Zhiyuan and Jiang Yun in the city suddenly stopped moving, which made their situation even more difficult.

As a last resort, Cai Cheng had to bite the bullet and choose to use the inner support in the city again.

"I hope you won't let me down." Cai Cheng stood in his camp, looking at the fierce battlefield in the distance. The person he was thinking about was about the inner support. He only told the inner support one thing:

Open the city gate!

There were many inner supporters left by Cai Cheng when he left Fengyu City, but compared with the defenders in the city, the number was still at an absolute disadvantage. It was obviously unrealistic to rely on them to capture Fengyu City. Therefore, Cai Cheng's request to them was to open the city gate and let the army outside the city enter the city.

In order to conceal his purpose, the battle on the front battlefield was still fierce, just pretending that there was no insider, but Cai Cheng knew in his heart that now he had to rely on insiders to successfully conquer Fengyu City.

Cai Cheng, who was full of confidence before, became nervous and anxious at this time.

The information of the action has been sent to the city, and the next step is to see the performance of the insiders in the city.

At this time, in Fengyu City, the leaders of those left by Cai Cheng secretly gathered together again. Since some of them were exposed for their unauthorized actions last time, the remaining people have been very low-key and honest recently. Not only did they not gather together privately, but they had to complete Chen Wende's orders without compromise, just for fear of being targeted.

And their approach seemed to have worked. At least, they were not liquidated by Chen Wende. In their opinion, this was their successful concealment of their identities.

But today, they had to gather together again, because Cai Cheng outside the city had sent a message, asking them to open the city gate as soon as possible and let the army outside the city enter the city.

"This is a bit difficult."

"What do you mean by a bit difficult? This is extremely difficult! Wu Ya attaches great importance to the city gates, and her confidants are responsible for guarding the city gates. We have no chance to get close to the city gates. How can we seize the city gates?"

"Attack by force? Definitely not! Before we rush over, we will all die on the way."

"But General Cai's order has come, and it's urgent. What should we do?"

"How should I know? I'm so annoyed!"

......

The leaders of the internal response gathered together, frowning, thinking hard about what to do. However, after thinking for a long time, they couldn't think of a good solution.

"It's not good to stay together for a long time. Let's disperse first and go back to think of a solution. When we think of a solution, we will gather again." One of them suggested.

"That's the only way."

Then, these leaders of the internal response dispersed and returned to their own teams.

These people thought they were very careful and avoided everyone, but they didn't know that their actions were being monitored.

In Fengyu City, in the palace, Wu Ya stayed in Wu Fan's room to handle official business as usual. Handling official business in Wu Fan's room has become a habit for her. The eunuchs and palace maids around her are also used to Wu Ya working here instead of in her own palace.

Since Qin Wei came back, Wu Ya's pressure has been reduced a lot, and she has more free time. Whenever she is free, she will miss Wu Fan in her mind.

"Wu Fan, where did you go? Why did you disappear for so long? When will you come back?" Wu Ya looked at the empty room and said to herself.

She missed Wu Fan so much after not seeing him for so long.

However, at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her.

Wu Ya, who was not mentally prepared, was shocked at first, and then ecstatic.
