Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

After a while, Zuo Yun led two thousand cavalrymen and came to the tall city wall of Jiangnan City in a swagger.

Gu Chan stood on the top of the city wall and said, "Handsome man, what do you think?"

"I guess you are Lord Gu Chan! Let me introduce myself first. My name is Zuo Yun, Zuo Wangfeng is my father, and I am here on behalf of my father to thank you." Zuo Yun said while riding on a warhorse, bowing his head and clasping his fists.

Gu Chan breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Ziguang and others also relaxed.

Zuo Yun added, "My Lord, my father said that he is grateful to you for not hurting our soldiers and for sending the deputy general who was killed by Shuiyue back with the highest etiquette."

"Then thank me if you want to! And you brought so many cavalry here, I'm afraid you don't just want to thank me!" said Gu Chan.

"Isn't it late at night? After midnight, it will be the next day. Then I can lead my brothers to attack the city and start the second offensive and defensive battle tomorrow?" Zuo Yun said with a grin.

"Hmph! You are so honest! It's really a little hard for me to believe." Gu Chan snorted coldly.

This was the first time she met Zuo Yun and she knew very little about this guy. However, from the conversation just now, she found that this guy was a smooth talker and a nonchalant person, and did not look like a talented general at all.

She also couldn't understand why Zuo Wangfeng would let such a person lead the troops to launch the second offensive and defensive battle.

Zuo Yun said with a smile, "My Lord, my father said that I have never been to the battlefield, so he asked me to come up tonight and give it a try. By the way, please give me some guidance, so that even if I lose, I can still win with honor."

"Okay, then wait! After midnight, you lead your troops to attack. I will be on the top of the city to command the attack. Then both sides will wrap their arrows with cloth to avoid hurting the lives of the soldiers when they shoot at each other." Gu Chan said with a faint smile.

"Okay! Did you hear me? Let's do as the lord says and wrap your arrows with cloth." Zuo Yun turned around and shouted.

The soldiers behind him immediately did the same, each tearing off a piece of cloth from the corner of their clothes and wrapping the arrows of their bows and arrows.

Xu Ziguang also stood on the top of the city wall and ordered the soldiers guarding the city to wrap the arrowheads with cloth.

After doing all this, the soldiers on both sides rested and waited for midnight to arrive.

Zuo Yun went directly to the top of the city wall, gathered a group of soldiers into a circle, started a bonfire, drank wine and played dice. For a moment, his actions really stunned everyone on the top of the city wall.

Yuan Jie was so shocked that she whispered in Gu Chan's ear, "Master, it seems that this boy is really here to have fun. Look, he doesn't seem nervous at all. Compared with Shuiyue during the day, there is a world of difference."

"Don't be careless. There's something wrong with this kid. I don't know what he's up to." Gu Chan said in a deep voice.

"My lord, don't be too nervous. We fought so beautifully in the offensive and defensive battle during the day. I'm afraid that the enemy's morale has already been affected. So it's understandable that they have no intention of fighting now and are so casual." Xu Ziguang persuaded proudly.

Gu Chan had no answer. She just stood there in silence, glancing down at Zuo Yun and the others below with a serious expression.

And for a period of time afterwards, the two sides lived in peace.

Just after midnight, Zuo Yun ordered the cavalry to mount their horses, and then began to attack the city while shouting and screaming. Long arrows wrapped in cloth were shot upwards from the bottom of the city.

Xu Ziguang was also stimulated and his blood boiled, so he ordered the soldiers guarding the city wall to shoot arrows continuously. The two sides fought back and forth, and it was very lively.

To the extent that, this offensive and defensive battle attracted the common people in the city. They either climbed onto the roofs to look over here, or ran to the city gate to join in the fun.

In short, Zuo Yun attracted everyone's attention in the city entirely by his own strength.

And he didn't reveal any flaws at all. He was just like a fool who didn't understand tactics. He jumped around on the top of the city wall, leading more than 2,000 cavalrymen as if it was a game, making everyone laugh.

Gu Chan stood on the top of the city wall, looking at the funny scene below, her face looked extremely ugly.

"Something's wrong. This is totally wrong!" After a long silence, Gu Chan finally couldn't help but shouted coldly.

Yuan Jie laughed and said, "Master, look at him, he is like a monkey down there, he has been tossing and turning for an hour or two, it will be dawn soon, it is really hilarious."

"Lord, please allow me to lead my troops down to fight them in single combat." Xu Ziguang suddenly walked up to Gu Chan and said.

Facing such a weak general, he is fully confident that he can lead his men out of the city to fight!

Gu Chan waved her hand and said, "Go! Remember, stop at a certain point and don't hurt the lives of the soldiers on both sides."

"Yes, Lord." Xu Ziguang said excitedly.

Then he immediately went down from the city wall, took a thousand soldiers with him, opened the city gate and rushed out.

Soon, the soldiers of both sides started fighting under the city wall, and the scene was extremely funny.

The funniest one was Zuo Yun. When Xu Ziguang chased him on horseback and beat him, Zuo Yun just swung his knife around like a stick. He couldn't resist Xu Ziguang's attack at all and was beaten by him instead, so he fled everywhere on horseback. The soldiers standing on the city wall couldn't stop laughing.

By the time it was almost dawn, Xu Ziguang had led more than a thousand men and had defeated the more than two thousand cavalry led by Zuo Yun, forcing them to flee in panic and become completely defeated.

"General Zuo's son is too weak! He still leads people to attack the city!"

"If a man like him were to go to the battlefield, he would have died countless times."

"Yes! General Zuo has really picked the wrong person this time. How could he let his cowardly son lead the troops to attack the city!"

Whether it was the soldiers or the common people watching the battle, everyone was mocking.

For a while, Zuo Yun became a complete laughing stock.

But Zuo Yun didn't care. As day was almost dawning, he still showed weakness and acted funny with his soldiers.

"Kill!"

After dawn, when everyone was still laughing at Zuo Yun, waves of deafening shouts and cries of killing suddenly rang out in Jiangnan City.

Everyone was shocked. Only then did they realize that there were more than 3,000 cavalrymen who had rushed in from all parts of Jiangnan City and were attacking the top of the city in a siege.

Zuo Yun, who had been showing weakness at the foot of the city, seemed to have opened up his Ren and Du meridians at this moment. He quickly organized more than 2,000 cavalrymen under his command to counterattack. He defeated Xu Ziguang's soldiers easily with a force that was as powerful as a rotten wood.

Zuo Yun also personally killed Xu Ziguang off his horse, shocking everyone watching the battle.
