Li Yunhao nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the hardworking generals under the awning.
Jade Gate Pass needed to achieve self-sufficient food production as soon as possible. The remaining 2500 slaves were assigned to the agricultural area to open up wasteland and cultivate crops.
It was a scorching June day.
Li Yunhao took the carriage and circled the city once before returning to the prefect's manor.
He hugged three beautiful women and swam in the pool.
The pool made of cement was 10 meters wide and 20 meters long. The deepest water level reached 2 meters, enough for Li Yunhao to splash back and forth in the water.
Li Xiuning returned from the east gate and saw Li Yunhao cooling off in the pool.
She hurriedly took off her armor and jumped into the pool. She quickly swam to Li Yunhao and hugged him.
"Damn Li Yunhao, why didn't you talk about me when you came back? You hid in the pool and had fun.”
Li Yunhao kicked the water with his feet and kept floating on the surface of the water. He hugged Li Xiuning tightly.
"I heard that you were keeping an eye on Zhao Zheng and Chai Shao at the eastern city gate, so I came back to take a bath first. I'll torture you little demons at night.”
Li Xiu Ning kissed Li Yun Hao." I haven't seen him for a few days. He's getting more and more indecent. Chai Shao has sent scouts to loiter around Jade Gate Pass. After I take a shower, I'll go back to the city wall to keep an eye on them."”
" We're just sending scouts to scout," Li Yunhao said nonchalantly." Don't worry too much. At most, we'll attack Jade Gate Pass tonight."”
Li Xiu Ning grabbed Li Yunhao's unruly hand and said,""A night raid is a very serious matter. Chai Shao alone has 10,000 soldiers. They can slaughter Jade Gate Pass once they cross the city walls.”
Fan Lihua swam down from the bottom of the water."I'm sure that Chai Shao will launch a sneak attack on Jade Gate Pass tonight, and the number of people will be less than 8000.”
Li Xiu Ning agreed with Fan Lihua.""I also feel that Chai Shao will launch a sneak attack on Jade Gate Pass. Why don't we make preparations earlier and send more men to guard the city walls tonight?”
Li Yunhao thought for a moment,"There are 200 Kunlun slaves and 100 soldiers at the city gate.”
Li Xiu Ning and Fan Lihua looked at each other and said in unison,""Not enough."
Fan Lihua suggested,"Send at least 1000 Kunlun slaves to the city wall and light up the torches to prevent Chai Shao from ambushing us."”
Li Yunhao hugged their slender waists.
"The two of you will not go wrong if you listen to me. We will not light any torches tonight. Prepare more scarecrows to stand guard on the city wall.”
Li Xiuning was still very worried. If Chai Shao broke through Jade Gate Pass, the first person he would kill would definitely be Li Yunhao.
"There's still two hours before night. I'll return to the eastern city gate and keep an eye on Chai Shao's army in case he suddenly attacks the city.”
Li Yunhao swam towards Li Xiuning and held her slender waist in his arms.
"Don't go back so soon after coming back from the city wall. Go for a swim and cool down before leaving.”
"What should be done?" Li Xiuning hesitated.”
Li Yunhao held Li Xiuning's waist and moved his hands up and down. How could she not understand what Li Yunhao was talking about?
"Annoying fellow, hurry up. I still have to go back to the city defense tower.”
Ever since Li Xiuning had her first encounter with Li Yunhao, she had been dead set on him.
No matter if Li Yunhao's enemy was Chai Shao or someone else, Li Xiu Ning would unconditionally support everything he wanted to accomplish.
Li Yunhao pressed Li Xiu Ning into the water. Her pretty face blushed and she began to do what Li Yunhao liked to do.
Fan Lihua, Mo Xie, and Yang Lizhi also swam over.
One man and four women played in the swimming pool of the prefect's residence. The strong Li Yunhao took turns in the water.
As the sun set, the sky gradually darkened.
Li Yunhao put on his armor and led Li Xiu Ning to the east gate.
The two of them rode on the same horse. Li Xiuning leaned her ear against Li Yunhao's broad back, quietly listening to his majestic and powerful heartbeat.
The crescent-shaped moon rose in the east, and the faint moonlight illuminated the red flush on Li Xiu Ning's face.
The two of them held hands and climbed up the city gate tower.
From afar, he could see a large army in the desert to the east. They were quietly making their way toward the Jade Gate Pass.
Only by standing on the city wall and carefully identifying the traces of the enemy could he find them.
Li Xiu Ning pointed at the desert." Chai Shao is really going to attack Jade Gate Pass. I'll get the soldiers on the city wall to light up the torches and illuminate the outside of the city wall."”
Li Yunhao grabbed her hand." Chai Shao's sneak attack must have been to shoot the soldiers on the city wall with bows and arrows. We should have filled the city with scarecrows and let them shoot as many as they wanted."”
Li Xiuning suddenly understood." You want to use the scarecrows to waste the enemy soldiers 'energy and collect the arrows?"”
" Alright." Li Yunhao nodded." Have the soldiers wear thicker armor and prepare a few more scarecrows to watch the show."”
"This is a strategy that kills two birds with one stone," Li Xiu Ning exclaimed.”
Facing the enemy's sneak attack at night, Li Yunhao did not light a torch so that the enemy could not see the movements on the city wall.
The 30-meter-tall city wall was equivalent to a ten-story residential building. The enemy would never have thought that they would use all their strength to shoot the arrow up the city wall. In the end, it only pierced the scarecrows that Li Yunhao had arranged.
Li Xiuning instructed the soldiers to set up the scarecrows and then let the soldiers retreat to a safe area to wait for orders.
The enemies in the distance slowly approached and stopped when they were 20 meters away from the city wall.
Chai Shao was the one who led the troops to launch the sneak attack tonight. He swore that he would personally kill Li Yunhao to avenge his wife.
"Everyone, prepare your bows and arrows. Each of you must aim 50 arrows at the enemies on the city gate tower.”
Ten thousand soldiers took out their bows and arrows and lined up around the east wall of Jade Gate Pass.
The staff officer lowered his voice and reminded Chai Shao,"General Chai, why don't we use the rockets first? It won't be too late for us to attack the city after we see the enemy's number."”
Chai Shao slapped the advisor on the head."Wouldn't lighting a fire expose our whereabouts? The purpose of coming here in the dark tonight is to launch a sneak attack.”
The staff officer did not dare to make a sound.
As the military adviser, he had the responsibility to remind Chai Shao how to attack the enemy. Now, he could only hope that tonight's siege would be a complete victory.
Chai Shao saw that the staff officer didn't say anything else, so he focused on drawing his bow and giving orders to the soldiers.
"Everyone listen to my command, fire!”
Swoosh ~ Swoosh ~ Swoosh
10,000 soldiers released their arrows at the same time.
10,000 feathered arrows flew through the sky, the arrowheads bringing with them the cold light of the night as they shot onto the walls of Jade Gate Pass. The scene was extremely spectacular.
