Chapter 1855 Reinforcements are coming

Xue Jin didn't know what Peng Chuan's plan was, but since Peng Chuan said so, he must have his own ideas. Xue Jin still believed in Peng Chuan. Since Peng Chuan said there was a way, there must be a better way.

"Woo woo woo!"

The army outside the city began to call back, and the soldiers attacking the city began to retreat back to the camp.

Because the army outside the city was only conducting long-range attacks at this time, it was very convenient to withdraw. Not long after, the battlefield, which was very lively before, had become quiet. However, this silence was filled with a wave of oppressive killing. Before, everyone on both sides of the battle knew that the battle was not over, and the battle behind might be even more tragic.

Standing on the top of Linshui City, Sun Zhongcai saw the army outside the city calling back and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The Linshui City attack and defense during this period really consumed a lot of Sun Zhongcai's energy. Originally, as the commander-in-chief, he did not need to personally command the front line, but Peng Chuan's army's offensive was too fierce, and the defenders on the city wall could not resist it at all. As the commander-in-chief, Sun Zhongcai naturally could not sit still. Moreover, Qi Feng also held him accountable with three or four imperial edicts a day, urging him to command on the city wall, and therefore, he appeared here.

In the past, Sun Zhongcai was not convinced of Peng Chuan's ability, but in the Linshui City attack and defense battle in the past few days, Peng Chuan had completely convinced him. No matter how he deployed his troops, Peng Chuan could always make the most timely response, making all his actions ineffective.

It can be said that Sun Zhongcai is now a little afraid of Peng Chuan.

Sun Zhongcai knew very well that his command level was not as good as Peng Chuan's, and the army in the city was not as skilled or powerful as the army outside the city. If Qi Feng had not issued that "absolute" order, Linshui City might have changed hands, and the throne of the Black Water Kingdom would also have to be replaced.

Sun Zhongcai neither supported nor opposed the order issued by Qi Feng. As a general, he knew the benefits of doing so, and even more so the disadvantages of doing so. However, at the moment, they had no better way to resist Peng Chuan's attack, so they could only use this method to delay the battle and buy time.

What's more, this order was issued by Qi Feng, and even if Sun Zhongcai was not happy, he had to execute it. He would not be afraid of Qi Feng's bad luck.

Sun Zhongcai looked at the slowly retreating army outside the city, then looked at the sky, and said to himself with some doubt: "What's going on? Why did these rebels retreat so early today?"

The attack and defense of Linshui City has been going on for more than one or two days, and both sides are already familiar with each other. Sun Zhongcai is very clear about the strength of the army outside the city in long-range attacks, especially after Qi Feng issued an order to use the people in the city to resist the attack outside the city, Peng Chuan's army relied more on long-range attacks to consume the strength of the defenders in the city.

Therefore, every day, the long-range army outside the city would fight for a long time before calling off the troops, but today, they retreated ahead of schedule, and much earlier.

"Could it be that they have some conspiracy?" Sun Zhongcai frowned and worried.

Sun Zhongcai was indeed scared by Peng Chuan. Peng Chuan was indeed a veteran on the battlefield. He used various means one after another, which made Sun Zhongcai exhausted. Now Peng Chuan's army unexpectedly withdrew early, which inevitably made Sun Zhongcai think too much.

However, after thinking for a long time, Sun Zhongcai couldn't think of any better way for Peng Chuan to deal with the current situation. If they had a better way to deal with it, they would not be forced to use long-range attacks to consume it.

During this period of time, although Peng Chuan's army has been carrying out long-range attacks on the defenders in Linshui City, the effect is not very good. After all, Linshui City is the capital of Heishui State, and the city defense facilities are relatively complete. With preparation, it is not too difficult to resist long-range attacks from outside the city.

"Peng Chuan is either deliberately making a mystery, or he also knows that this will not work, so he gave up." Sun Zhongcai said to himself.

At this time, a messenger came: "Report to the general, the reinforcements from Yangyu Pass are expected to arrive outside Linshui City tomorrow."

"Great!"

Hearing this news, Sun Zhongcai waved his fist vigorously, and the whole person was quite excited.

Sun Zhongcai has been looking forward to the arrival of reinforcements, but he knows that other armies in Heishui State, although they say they will come to support, always delay for various reasons. They should be thankful that they did not surrender to Pengchuan. It is unrealistic to ask them to come to rescue.

Therefore, Sun Zhongcai and Qi Feng's expectations for reinforcements fell on Shuiyue State, especially the army stationed in Yangyu Pass, because it is the closest to Linshui City and should be the army that can reach Linshui City the fastest.

Although the offensive of the army outside the city has slowed down due to Qi Feng's decision during this period, it is not a solution to be besieged all the time. Moreover, because of Qi Feng's order, the complaints of the people in the city are getting bigger and bigger. If this continues, Linshui City will still be in danger.

Therefore, if you want to completely solve the crisis of Linshui City, you must have external reinforcements.

Now, the reinforcements from Yangyu Pass are finally coming, and Sun Zhongcai is naturally very happy.

An elite force of Shuiyue Kingdom is stationed at Yangyu Pass. This force has strong combat effectiveness. As long as they arrive and cooperate with the army inside Linshui City, the crisis of Linshui City will naturally be resolved.

"Let everyone have a good rest, our chance to counterattack is coming!" Sun Zhongcai excitedly ordered the deputy general next to him: "At the same time, tell His Majesty this news, and say that when the reinforcements arrive, it will be the day of our counterattack. The crisis of Linshui City will be resolved soon!"

"Yes!" The deputy general next to him said loudly.

Obviously, the deputy general was very happy to hear the news. During this period, they had been suppressed by Pengchuan's army, and the soldiers in the city were very depressed. Now it's good, the reinforcements have finally arrived, and they can finally counterattack.

After the deputy general went down, Sun Zhongcai leaned against the city wall and looked at Pengchuan's army outside the city, with a face full of vigor and vitality:

"Pengchuan, I will completely defeat you on the battlefield!"

Sun Zhongcai was very annoyed because he had been suppressed by Pengchuan, especially in the offensive and defensive battle of Linshui City, he was restricted everywhere, which made him even more uncomfortable. Now, he finally has a chance to avenge his previous shame. He wants to completely defeat Pengchuan on the battlefield and clear his name!
