Xiao Jingyu's vanguard troops were always guarding outside Jicheng City, but did not attack the city.

Three days later, Xiao Jingyu's follow-up troops finally arrived at Jicheng. Xiao Jingyu didn't wait for a moment, and directly asked the vanguard to come to the gate of Jichengcheng.

"Report—"

A soldier guarding the city hurriedly broke into the room, and Ji Lin and several deputy generals inside were still discussing how to defend the city before reinforcements arrived.

"Report to the general that the tens of thousands of soldiers in Beixiao are already outside the gate of Jicheng."

Ji Lin knew that Xiao Jingyu's follow-up troops had arrived, but calculating the days, the people he sent to report the news might have just arrived in the capital.

"Let's go up to the city wall and take a look."

After Ji Lin finished speaking, he walked out with his helmet. Several deputy generals also picked up their helmets and followed Ji Lin out.

Ji Lin walked up to the city gate and looked at the dark people outside the city. He knew that this battle was not easy to fight. He originally thought they could hold on for ten days, but now it seems that it would be great if they could hold on for five days.

The deputy general rode forward, tied a letter to an arrow, aimed at the wall behind Ji Lin, and shot it out.

The arrow happened to pass by Ji Lin and a deputy general. The soldier pulled the arrow out of the wall and handed the letter to Ji Lin.

The shouts of Deputy General Xiao Jingyu came from the city, "My Highness has always admired General Ji Lin. If General Ji is willing to surrender to Beixiao, my Highness will definitely not treat the General unfairly."

Ji Lin opened the letter, and the letter was full of the benefits Xiao Jingyu promised him, but Ji Lin was a soldier under Prince Zhong back then. Everyone in their army would always remember the word "zhong" and would be even more unlikely to betray Nan Chu.

"I, Ji Lin, swore to live and die together with Ji Cheng--"

Ji Lin tore the letter to pieces in front of the deputy general. He knew that Xiao Jingyu should be looking at him from a distance. Although he might not hear him, Xiao Jingyu should be able to see his actions.

"Since General Ji doesn't give him face, don't blame us, attack the city-"

Beixiao ordered the city to attack, and General Ji also made an attacking gesture.

The soldiers at the city gate began to shoot arrows down the city, and soldiers in Beixiao continued to fall to the ground. The soldiers behind immediately rushed forward with shields and blocked in front.

The arrows shot were blocked by the shield, and shooting arrows again was a waste of weapons.

Part of Beixiao's soldiers raised their shields, and the other part kept shooting arrows on the city wall in the rear. Ji Lin kept blocking all the arrows he shot with his sword, but ignored the other person who had been aiming at him.

Since Xiao Jingyu's deputy general could not convince Ji Lin to surrender, there was no need to save his life.

Although Xiao Jingyu asked him to save Ji Lin's life, on the battlefield, so many arrows flew towards Ji Lin, who could know that he shot it on purpose?

The deputy general's arrow flew straight towards Ji Lin. Ji Lin had been blocking other arrows and ignored this one. When he realized it, it was too late.

Suddenly, a stone collided with the arrow, and both of them deviated from their original trajectory.

A woman suddenly appeared on the city wall with many people.

Although Ji Lin didn't know them, if he had guessed correctly just now, it should be the woman who saved his life.

"The guardian of the divine doctor, Yingluo, came to help the general defend the city at the order of the sect leader."

The Ghost Doctor Sect, I didn’t expect that these people would be members of the Ghost Doctor Sect, but the Ghost Doctor Sect has never participated in court affairs, so why did he suddenly come to the North to help him?

Many people brought by Yingluo have begun to take away the injured soldiers, and the uninjured soldiers immediately stepped forward to fill the vacant seats.

The deputy general shot the arrow just now very well. If it weren't for that woman, Ji Lin would have been a corpse at this time.

The ladder was already leaning against the wall of Jicheng, and Beixiao's soldiers kept climbing up the ladder.

The soldiers in the city began to throw stones along the ladder and smashed all the Beixiao soldiers who were trying to climb up along the ladder.

But it was not a solution to smash it like this. The stone would definitely be used up. Yingluo took out a lot of medicine powder from her bag and kept walking back and forth on the city wall, handing the medicine powder to the soldiers.

Although most of the miraculous doctors treat diseases and save people, they rarely develop poisons, but when necessary, they also develop poison powder.

The soldiers sprinkled the powder down the ladder, and there was a lot of powder on the ladder, but the soldiers of Beixiao did not notice that the ladder was stained and kept climbing up.

As a result, as soon as they touched the powder, they were weak and fell down the ladder themselves.

When the deputy general saw someone suddenly came to help Ji Lin, he ordered the troops to retreat first. He did not know the origin of those people, and continuing to attack might cause heavy losses. After all, Jicheng was not their ultimate goal.

"retreat--"

After the deputy general retreated, Beixiao's soldiers quickly retreated. They didn't dare to touch the ladders again, and they all stayed on the walls of Jicheng.

The soldiers guarding the city pushed down all the ladders with weapons. In fact, they didn't know what they had just scattered. Anyway, seeing that the soldiers in Beixiao touched the thing and fell down, they knew that the thing was unusual, so they should be careful.

After all the soldiers of Beixiao evacuated, Ji Lin and several deputy generals got off the city wall. Yingluo asked the disciples of the Divine Doctor Sect to treat the injured soldiers. She followed Ji Lin to discuss countermeasures.

"Jilin thanks Miss Yingluo for her life-saving grace."

Ji Lin knelt down for Yingluo, and the few deputy generals behind him also saw the scene. Yingluo saved their general, which was their savior, so they all knelt down.

"Come up, please, please, please." Yingluo quickly helped them all up. "Jicheng has to rely on several generals to protect your lives. This is what Yingluo should do."

After Ji Lin got up, he asked Yingluo to sit down, and then he and several deputy generals also found a seat to sit down.

"I wonder how Miss Yingluo arrived at Jicheng so quickly?"

Although the girl Yingluo in front of him saved his life, he still doubted some things, such as how the Divine Doctor Sect knew about Ji Cheng, and he could not be sure that the person in front of him was a member of the Divine Doctor Sect, not a spy sent by Bei Xiao.

"The people from the Divine Doctor Sect are everywhere in Nanchu. There is nothing I don't know about the news that the Divine Doctor Sect wants to know. Several generals still have to discuss the matter of defending the city. Yingluo is just a doctor, so it is more appropriate to go and see the wounded soldiers."

Yingluo doesn't mind these people doubting her. As long as she does her own things well, what these people think will not affect her.

"General, is this girl really a member of the genius doctor? Could it be a spy sent by Bei Xiao?"

Ji Lin shook his head. He didn't know now. As long as he didn't relax his vigilance, even if this person was sent by Bei Xiao, they wouldn't have anything to do.

"Don't worry about this person for now. Let's discuss how to deal with Beixiao first. If we keep guarding like this, we may not be able to wait for reinforcements to come..."

"What else can we do except guard this way? Jicheng is now full of soldiers from Beixiao. Can we still take the initiative to attack?"

Ji Lin instantly looked at the deputy general who was talking, and the rest followed Ji Lin and looked at the man.

"Yes, I just have to take the initiative."

Ji Lin pointed to the map and looked at Beixiao's current garrison and rear, "Bexiao is now garrisoning in Jicheng."

Ji Lin pointed at Jicheng a few times, and then pointed directly to Beixiao's border town. "Beixiao is coming this time with sufficient troops, but the food and grass may not be enough, and their food and grass will definitely be transported in the shortest time. From Beixiao's border town to Jicheng, the nearest road is this."

Ji Lin drew the road for a while and finally pointed to the necessary place to pass from Licheng to Jicheng. "This location is their necessary place and our best opportunity."

Xiao Jingyu captured five cities in Nanchu in a row and stationed the military camp not far from Jicheng. If he guessed correctly, Xiao Jingyu would never have thought that they would dare to take the initiative to cut off his food and grass.

"But we don't know when their food will arrive."

"Select dozens of reliable soldiers to sneak out and stay there, waiting for their food and grass."

Several deputy generals discussed it and thought this method was still feasible, so they agreed, "I will go and select people now."

Yingluo looked at the wounded and then at that one. Although the battle has not been fought for a long time today, many soldiers from Beixiao and Nanchu were injured, and this was the first day.

There are few people in Jicheng now. I heard that Beixiao has captured five cities in a row. In the past few days, most of the people have run away if they can. Some people are reluctant to leave this place, and they also believe that General Ji can defend Jicheng.

The deputy general told Xiao Jingyu about someone suddenly appearing to save Ji Lin today, "Your Highness, do you think it is Nan Chu's reinforcements that have arrived."

Xiao Jingyu shook his head. If it were reinforcements from Nan Chu, it would not be led by a woman. Moreover, according to the deputy general, the number of people was not large, and he also knew that these people would not have any effect on his army at all.

"You just said that those soldiers fell down by themselves?" Xiao Jingyu seemed to suddenly realize the problem.

"When you go back to your highness, what your subordinates saw is indeed the case. The soldiers fell down after climbing for a while. The subordinates also asked a few of them. They all said that they were suddenly weak, but the military doctor could not find any problems. The subordinates suspected that they were lying."

Xiao Jingyu felt that these people were not lying, but were really weak at that time. If one person said this, it might be lying, but many people said this, it would be questionable.

Can it make people suddenly weak but not fatal? Could it be...

Xiao Jingyu suddenly opened his eyes wide, as if he had thought of something, which scared the deputy general.

"Your Highness, do you know something?"

"The Miracle Doctor Sect may be planning to join."

Xiao Jingyu has already said so bluntly that if the deputy general still doesn't understand, he will not be qualified to be Xiao Jingyu's subordinate.

"But hasn't the genius doctor always participated in court disputes?"

"Do you think it's a court dispute between us who attacked Nanchu?"

Xiao Jingyu said nothing, the deputy general had nothing to say. The Divine Doctor Sect did not participate in the court disputes in Nan Chu, but now they attacked Nan Chu. As long as they were from Nan Chu, the Divine Doctor Sect should take action.

"Go and send a letter to Master Nangong Shaogu. They should like the current situation in Jicheng."

As soon as Xiao Jingyu said this, the deputy general laughed, "Your Highness is still smart, so I will do it now."

They have a genius doctor sect in Nanchu. Do you think Beixiao has nothing? Wandu Valley has always been hostile to the genius doctor sect. Since the genius doctor sect has chosen to help Jicheng, Wandu Valley will definitely choose to come here for this opportunity to fight with the genius doctor sect. At that time, it will be seen that the poison in Wandu Valley is more powerful, or the medical skills of the genius doctor sect are more powerful.

If we have the help of Wandu Valley, no matter whether the reinforcements from Nanchu arrive or not, or when they arrive, it will not have any impact on him.

Chu Yu and Yun Zhiyuan led their troops to a day, but they are still six or seven days away from Jicheng. With this marching, they can reach Jicheng before they can reach Jicheng.

"A Yuan, Vice General Xu, come here."

"Cousin, what's wrong?"

Chu Yu spread the map onto the ground and pointed his finger at where they are now.

"We are here now, and there are still six or seven days away from Jicheng, but Jicheng may not be able to hold on for that long."

"But now this degree is the fastest we have. Besides, even if we arrive at Jicheng, the soldiers will not have the strength to fight."

It was Yun Zhiyuan's first time on the battlefield, and he was inevitably inexperienced, so he didn't understand what Chu Yu meant, but Deputy General Xu had been with Chu Yu for many years. After Chu Yu said this, he knew what Chu Yu was going to do.
