Chapter 531

Barracks, big account.

Liu Xiu had already had a rest. From Yufu County, he felt that the soldiers in Quren county were tired all the way over the mountains. Liu Xiu was also quite tired, so he decided to lie down and have a rest.

After a short rest, I heard Deng Zhan's voice outside the camp tent: "Lord, General Chen is back."

Liu Xiu suddenly opened his eyes and began to do it quickly.

Putting on his clothes, Liu Xiu came to the tent.

After seeing Chen, Liu Xiu said: "uncle to hard, sit down!"

"Thank you

Chen Dao gave a boxing salute, and then sat down.

Liu Xiu said, "how is the plan going?"

With a look of excitement on his face, Chen Dao said, "everything is going well. Now the food supply in the city is in Huo Jun's hands. As long as the Lord orders, he can destroy each other's food at any time. Without food, there will be chaos in the city immediately. "

Liu Xiu thought about it and said, "today is the first day of our arrival. The morale of the officers and soldiers guarding the city is booming. Tomorrow I'll arrange the siege, and tomorrow night I'll continue to harass for another night. At noon the day after tomorrow, at noon, you set fire to grain in the city. Then I ordered the siege. "

"Yes

Chen to boxing should be under, then ready to go back.

At night, he quietly found a dead corner to climb out of the wall.

Liu Xiu said: "we must pay attention to safety!"

Chen Dao said, "yes, I will understand."

After seeing Chen off, Liu Xiucai went back to have a rest. At this time, Liu Xiu's heart was more stable. Huo Jun and Chen Dao have completed the plan, so it's easier to operate, everything is under control.

……

Quren County, outside the city.

After the four-way battle drum, there was no reaction on the tower.

Obviously, the soldiers on the tower thought that Liu Xiu deliberately harassed the soldiers on the tower and did not let them rest.

With a smile on his lips, one of the leading officers, Xiaowei, looked at the generals under his command and said, "it's time for us to fight for a while. Remember, we don't love war. Once the garrison appears, we will withdraw immediately. "

"I understand!"

The generals nodded, and their faces were clear.

"Beat the drum!"

At the command of the captain, the war drum sounded again.

The roaring drums sounded, and the voice became more and more urgent. The captain had pulled out his sword, held it high and pointed to the front, and gave a loud order: "kill!"

"Kill

"Kill

Neat cry, suddenly resounded up.

The voice, more than the battle drums, is full of high morale.

"Step on it! Step on it

Dense soldiers rushed out and quickly approached the tower. The distance of 100 Zhang, constantly close, and the soldiers cry to kill shocked the soldiers stationed on the city floor.

The general in charge of guarding the city heard the voice and waited for a moment. He had already seen the Jingzhou soldiers killed. He was startled and roared: "Jingzhou soldiers are really coming. Blow the horn, blow the horn!"

At this moment, the garrison soldiers on the tower are very nervous.

Looking from the tower, you can see the Jingzhou soldiers coming with the help of the fire in the tower, and there are also some ladders coming. It's really frightening.

"Woo! Woo

The sound of long horn reverberates on the tower.

This voice awakened Huang Quan and Qu Zheng. They both got up quickly.

Qu Zheng takes the soldiers to rush to the city tower, and Huang Quan rushes out. Looking at the Jingzhou soldiers who have rushed outside the city, he orders the soldiers to be on guard.

In a short time, the Jingzhou soldiers had already approached Chenglou. A ladder up, a soldier began to sprint.

Countless soldiers, starting to climb up.

At this time, officers and soldiers had already gathered on the upper floor of the city.

Qu Zheng came up with the soldiers, and huangquan was in place. Everyone was ready.

"Dang! Dang! "

All of a sudden, the harsh sound of gongs resounded again outside the city.

After the continuous sound, it was not long before we saw that Liu Xiu's Jingzhou soldiers no longer climbed up or rushed forward, but turned around and left.

Just now, I was still rushing forward like a wolf, but now it's like the tide receding.

Harass!

This time it's another attack, not a siege.

Seeing this scene outside the city, Huang Quan was dumbfounded, and his face was full of astonishment.

Qu Zheng frowned and said, "magistrate Huang, we've been cheated again."

Huang Quan clenched his fist, hammered hard on the wall, and said: "these Jingzhou soldiers are so cunning that they actually approach the tower and then withdraw. It's really confusing."

Qu Zheng glanced at the soldiers under his command with a touch of worry in his eyes.By this time, it was late at night.

The people under his command did not sleep well. They yawned one by one, and their faces were very uncomfortable. Obviously, affected by the harassment, these soldiers did not rest well.

Qu Zheng said: "there must be a solution to this matter. Otherwise, the next time there is such a situation, we are still a group of people rushing up to resist, which can only make Liu Xiu laugh when he falls asleep. "

When Huang Quan hears the speech, he can't help nodding. This is really the case. If we don't arrange it now, it will be more troublesome. The soldiers don't have to sleep all night.

"What can you do?" asked Huang Quan

After listening, Qu Zheng fell into deep meditation.

A moment later, Qu Zheng said, "why don't you take the soldiers to the garrison building tonight. My soldiers don't care about anything, just rest. Tomorrow night, I'll take my men to change the guard. You take the soldiers to rest. In this way, at least our soldiers can have a good rest. "

After hearing this, Huang Quan said, "it's really a good way to do this. At present, we can only do this. But there is another drawback. If we really can't stop it, we still need the support of your people. "

Qu Zheng said: "this is actually simple. It's still based on the sound of the horn. As long as the horn sounds, it means that your soldiers can't stop, and then I will bring people to support

"Good!"

Huang Quan nodded and scolded: "these Jingzhou soldiers are hateful. It's hard to tell whether they're real or not. We're all in trouble."

"Yes

Qu Zheng nodded, yawned and said, "no, I'm too sleepy. If you don't go to bed, you will lose your spirit tomorrow. Magistrate Huang, I'll give it to you tonight. I'll take people down. "

"Good!"

Huang Quan nodded and watched Qu Zheng leave.

After Qu Zheng left, Huang Quan arranged tasks for his generals and conveyed the latest orders.

The soldiers in the army were ordered to go down to rest.

Outside the city, the captain looked at the retreating soldiers on the upper floor of the city. His eyes were shining and he said, "it seems that we have lost our function to harass them. The other side has gone through several times, and is really on guard. But now, it's time for the catapult to show off. Somebody, push up the loaded catapult. "

At the command, the soldiers took action immediately.

One by one of the soldiers under his command immediately took action, and saw a catapult, all of which were transported forward.

This time, we brought five catapults.

The distance from the city is about 100 Zhang after the five catapults are laid out. This distance is not a long distance for Liu Xiu's catapult.

The captain came to the side of the catapult and ordered, "prepare!"

All the five catapults were loaded with large stones weighing more than 100 Jin. Only the captain ordered, "let go!"

"Boom! Boom

Five catapults were running at the same time. Five big stones weighing more than 100 Jin roared through the air and went straight to the city tower. In a twinkling of an eye, five big stones had fallen one after another.

"Boom!"

The first big stone fell on the female wall.

Click!

The wall soil collapsed, leaving a big groove directly.

"Boom! Boom

The other four big stones all fell in the same place. Continuous impact, so that the city floor are shaking, and the impact of the location, is the soil and sand constantly falling, was hit rotten a large piece.

The garrisons on the city tower all glared, and their eyes showed an incredible look, because no one expected that Jingzhou soldiers outside the city began to attack with catapults.
