Chapter 159 The atmosphere is high

At 3:00 p.m., we were twenty miles outside Kunyang City.

The Southern Army had already eaten and drunk their fill, and they began to assemble their troops.

The soldiers organized their equipment, lined up, and waited for the commander's orders.

They had just eaten a full meal and were feeling a little sleepy.

There was a hint of nervousness in their eyes because they knew they were about to face a fierce battle.

But no one knows when the battle will begin.

A soldier whispered to the soldier next to him, "I thought the battle started yesterday at noon, why haven't you issued the order to attack the city yet?"

Another soldier shook his head. "Who knows? Let's take a rest first."

In the main tent, Commander Xiao Yi was holding a military meeting attended by senior generals.

He had a large map held high so that everyone present could see it clearly.

“Everyone, I have a plan that will fully demonstrate the might of my southern army.

Everyone, don't rush to attack the city. We need to surround Kunyang City tightly so that the Eastern Army cannot escape.

This encirclement must have at least ten layers, and more than a hundred military camps must be set up around Kunyang City.

Only in this way can we demonstrate the might of our army and deter the enemy.

In addition, military flags should be placed all over the field, fluttering in the wind, so that the enemy will be intimidated.

Also, the sound of the gongs and drums must resound through the sky, and frighten the soldiers and civilians in Kunyang City, 20 miles away!"

A general whispered, "Why not allow the siege?"

Another said, "I don't know, just surround but not fight?"

Xiao Yi heard it and smiled at the two generals, "Go ahead."

The two of them quickly lowered their heads and stopped talking.

Xiao Yi was in a very good mood and explained patiently:

"The army has marched hundreds of miles, and the officers and soldiers are very tired.

Although we are here to reap the fruits of victory, we should not be too hasty.

Why not let everyone enjoy the process?

It took us two days to get here, but the battle was over in just one hour.

That's so boring."

The two generals suddenly realized what was going on and saluted, "Master, you are wise!"

Seeing that no one had any objection, Xiao Yi announced loudly:

"I order: Begin the siege of Kunyang City at 3 p.m."

"Yes."

At the time of Shen, we were twenty miles outside Kunyang City.

Flags are waving and war drums are beating.

The Southern Army surged northward like a surging tide.

The next day at noon, outside Kunyang City.

At this time, Kunyang City was surrounded by densely packed soldiers, who formed a series of defense lines that sealed off the entire city.

They were armed with various weapons including spears, shields, bows and arrows, and were on high alert, ready to deal with any possible situation at any time.

The Southern Army was very powerful. They were not only numerous but also well-equipped.

The Southern Army also set up many watchtowers and outposts to detect the movements of the Eastern Army in a timely manner.

At the same time, they also deployed a large number of siege weapons such as catapults and crossbows, ready to launch attacks on the city at any time.

Faced with such a powerful enemy, the defenders in Kunyang City did not feel much nervousness or anxiety.

Because from dawn on, two special teams began to take action.

One team is the military propaganda team led by Ye Yi and active in the military, and the other is the civilian propaganda team led by Zhu Xiang.

The two propaganda teams launched massive propaganda campaigns in the army and in the city respectively.

The officers and soldiers in the army were greatly encouraged. They knew that this war would be extremely difficult, but they also understood that they had the heavy responsibility of defending their homeland.

Therefore, they decided to go all out and fight a decisive battle with the Southern Army.

In the city, the propaganda team organized a float parade, which not only comforted the people but also aroused their patriotic enthusiasm.

The atmosphere in the streets and alleys was unprecedentedly high.

The common people followed the propaganda team in shouting slogans. They all shared the same hatred for the enemy and were willing to live and die with Kunyang.
