Chapter 1594: Suspicious Operation

Boom boom boom!

One after another, huge rocks fell from the top of the city. Some of these huge rocks hit the ground, creating deep pits, while others hit the rocks that fell first. After a while, a small hill was piled up.

And this small hill made of huge rocks was right at the gate of the city, blocking the gate tightly!

This...

Cai Cheng was stunned, the generals beside him were stunned, and the rebels near the gate of the city were also stunned.

What are the defenders in the city going to do? Block the door and prevent people from coming out? Could it be that they want to encircle and suppress them in the city?

"What are they going to do? Why are they blocking the door?" Cai Cheng asked again unconsciously.

"Maybe, maybe, they want to encircle and suppress our team that has entered the city." A general next to him answered in an uncertain tone.

"How is this possible? Are they crazy? The number of troops in their city is not as large as ours! Moreover, their combat effectiveness is not as good as ours. Now that our people have entered the city, they don't even have the city defense to rely on. What can they use to encircle and suppress us?!" Another general next to him refuted.

"Yes, the army in the city can't be our opponent at all. They are simply unable to encircle and suppress us."

"Then how do you explain their current blocking of the door?"

"This..."

Yes, how to explain this blocking of the door? Could it be caused by the mistake of the army in the city?

How is this possible!

Those huge stones were obviously prepared in advance, and even if one of them was pushed down by mistake, it is impossible to push down so many. The behavior of the defenders in the city is enough to show that they are deliberately blocking the door.

As for the purpose of blocking the door, everyone can't figure it out.

Cai Cheng's face was very ugly, and his eyes still didn't move away from those huge stones. No matter what purpose the defenders in the city pushed down these huge stones, one thing is certain, that is: the defenders in the city have been prepared for their actions!

Those boulders must have been prepared in advance, otherwise, it would be impossible to prepare such boulders on the city wall. It is true that stones are needed to defend the city, but this kind of boulders are used differently, unless they are used in some special circumstances.

For example, at this time!

After knowing that the other party had been prepared, Cai Cheng's heart became heavier and heavier. He found that he thought things were simple. Perhaps, this matter was all planned by the people in the city!

In other words:

They were fooled!

But while understanding this, Cai Cheng also had doubts in his heart.

Even if this was a conspiracy, Wu Ya designed to trick her people into the city, but how were they going to deal with her people? Why did they think they could defeat their people without the city defense? Just relying on the defenders in the city?

Cai Cheng admitted that the defenders had greatly improved their strength after these days of battlefield training. However, even if they improved, there was still a gap between those people and his own people. You know, the people he brought had rich combat experience, and many of them were even elite troops. The defenders in the city wanted to compete with his people on the battlefield with these ten days and a half months of training?

Unless Wu Ya was too naive, she would have such an idea!

This was also the reason why Cai Cheng knew that there were some risks in entering the city this time, but he still chose to let the team enter the city, because in his opinion, even if this was a conspiracy, in the face of strong strength, this conspiracy would fall apart.

"Sir, look!"

Just when Cai Cheng was wondering what Wu Ya was doing, a general next to him suddenly pointed in the direction of the city wall and reminded him with a slightly trembling voice.

Cai Cheng looked in the direction of the voice, and his heart sank again.

At this time, in everyone's sight, there were two fully armed armies, following the city wall, heading towards the city gate from two directions. At the city gate, some of their people were unable to enter the city because of the huge rocks blocking the way.

"Are these the defenders in the city? Did they take the initiative to attack?" Cai Cheng asked in confusion.

Obviously, these two armies came out from the other two gates, circled around, and came to besiege their people at this city gate.

"I'm afraid not." The general who spoke before said: "Sir, you see, they are wearing the uniforms of the border army, which is obviously different from the uniforms of the defenders in the city."

"Border army?" Cai Cheng frowned and looked at those people. Sure enough, he saw that the uniforms they wore were the uniforms of the border army. He also understood why he subconsciously sank when he saw these people just now.

"Why are there border troops here?" Another general nearby asked in confusion: "The border is far away from here. Our people are outside the imperial capital, and we haven't seen any border troops approaching the imperial capital."

"Yes, could it be that the people in the city changed their servants and pretended to be border troops?"

"But why did they pretend to be border troops? To scare us?"

"They are definitely not border troops! They must be the troops in the city. Although their combat effectiveness has improved during this period, they are still not as good as ours. Now they are taking the initiative to leave the city, just looking for death!"

The generals next to Cai Cheng started to discuss.

Cai Cheng also didn't think that the people in front of him were border troops. Although he had been besieging Fengyu City, he also paid attention to other cities.

People in other cities showed no signs of sending out troops, including border towns. Even if the garrisons in the borders did not go out, then these people in front of them were naturally not border troops.

Amid the discussion, the two armies had already started fighting with their people, and the battle between the two sides was very fierce.

Cai Cheng and others, who were originally confident and thought that the garrisons in the city were looking for death, had lost their confident expressions on their faces after seeing the situation on the battlefield. Instead, they were surprised, and some were even terrified.

In the battle between the two sides, their people did not have any advantage. With a small difference in numbers, they were actually at a disadvantage!

Moreover, the disadvantage was very obvious!

This...

What's going on?

Why did the garrisons in the city suddenly become so powerful?

Could it be that these people were not the garrisons in the city, but really the border troops? !

Everyone was guessing in their hearts, and Cai Cheng's face became even uglier, so gloomy that blood was about to drip.

While others were still guessing, Cai Cheng had already had a definite answer in his mind:

These troops that took the initiative to leave the city were not the defenders in the city, but the border troops!

As the Minister of War, although Cai Cheng had been a little arrogant in recent years, he still had some "business" ability. He was very familiar with the situation of the various armies of Nanping State, and even knew the combat habits of some troops.

The combat style of the army that took the initiative to attack was obviously not the combat style of the army in Fengyu City, but the combat style of the defenders of Shanling Pass!
