Wang Ye and Li Yuanhe can only look at Xu Wei and don't talk. According to the friendship and resentment between Xu Wei and Li Yuanhe before, it's useless for Li Yuanhe to open his mouth.
However, to their surprise, Xu Wei suddenly turned gloomy and yelled at the soldiers of the pioneer camp standing in front of the women's wall: "don't you guys hear me? Let's move your arrows to the warehouse! Do you want me to invite you? Go away Those vanguard camps were scolded by Xu Wei for no reason, but they didn't dare to answer back. It was worth obediently following Xu Wei's order to head for the warehouse.
would scold his own hand after Xu Wei, turned around but just saw the smiling face of Wang and Li Yuan and he could not help but get the most expensive land. Embarrassed, he turned around and walked to Chen Xuanchu, but he didn't dare to disturb Chen Xuanchu, who was already confused. He had to stand still. It looked like he was in a penalty stand.
Wang also and Li Yuanhe looked at each other, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned. Although Xu Wei was reckless, he was not so bad now. Li Yuanhe's resentment to him was also more or less relieved. He turned his head and looked out of the city. At this time, the bandit army was less than ten steps away from the moat outside the city. Li Yuanhe quickly called to Wang: "Lord Wang! They are coming! "
Wang also stood beside him and nodded to Li Yuanhe, indicating that he had already known. When he turned his head and looked out of the city, his narrow eyes twinkled with light, and he kept a close eye on the moat outside the city. In his eyes, there seemed to be an invisible line of defense. Waiting for the thieves to step into this line of defense, Wang also suddenly called out: "shoot!"
At the command of Wang Ye, all the archers at the head of the city loosened their bowstring. Immediately, two hundred arrows shot down at the bottom, but they were not aimed at the soldiers who had already rushed to the moat. Wang also decisively ordered them to shoot at the bandits behind them. Those who rushed to the front of the bandit soldiers rushed to the moat, which was to attract the garrison attack, but they found that there was no arrow at all.
And the bandit soldiers in the back kept rushing towards the front, which made them more and more dense behind them. The archers could shoot an enemy even with their eyes closed. After the first round of flying arrows, without Wang continuing to order, those archers had started the second round of attack very consciously, and Wang also began to take up his iron bow to participate in the attack.
However, Wang Ye's targets were not ordinary thieves. With Li Yuanhe's advice, Wang also began to look for them calmly. Sure enough, many well-equipped soldiers were found among the bandits. Unlike other thieves, these soldiers showed panic when facing the arrows at the head of the city. The expression on their faces was cold and firm, and it was like regular army. Wang also specially selected these soldiers to attack. In a flash, he wiped out nearly a dozen such soldiers.
According to the present situation, everything is very smooth, because the archers on the top of the city blocked the bandits outside the city from crossing the moat for a time. However, Li Yuanhe in the head of the city was still heavy, because he still felt something strange and his sense of foreboding was getting more and more serious.
In the past, I thought that there were only some refugees outside the city, so I didn't pay attention to it. However, it has been confirmed that some soldiers from the regular army were involved. No matter where these regular soldiers come from, since they are regular troops, they will not be unaware of the siege equipment needed for siege. But now they are not even prepared for a ladder. Are they ready to climb up the city like this?
You're kidding! Jingnan city is not a small earthen city. With such a high wall, we have to climb up to the top of the city, not to mention 20000 people. Even 100000 people can't attack it! Moreover, there are two other points that Li Yuanhe failed to figure out. First, why did the bandit army occupy the advantage in quantity, but did not choose to besiege the city and attack, but only attacked the north gate? Second, why did these bandits not cross the river when they rushed to the moat, but occupied the river for defense?
All of a sudden, a fragment flashed through Li Yuanhe's mind. It was a day in the mountain temple where Li Yuanhe and the old man lived seven years ago. At that time, the old man was still in good health, and sometimes he would go to the countryside to buy some game, so Li Yuanhe's life was not as poor as later. Usually, the old man always instructs Li Yuanhe to practice shooting skills or exercise his body. When he is free, he will play war games with Li Yuanhe.
I remember that day the old man was playing a war game with Li Yuanhe. The old man pushed a flat land in front of the mountain temple, and then built a square city half a person in size with sand. He gave Li Yuan and ten stones to keep the city. And the old man came to attack the city with ten stones.
At that time, Li Yuanhe was only in his teens. It was just the time when he liked to play. Moreover, Li Yuanhe was not playing the war game for the first time. Naturally, he was very excited. Besides, the old man had as many stones as his own, so Li Yuanhe confidently said to the old man, "grandfather! You are sure to lose this time! I remember you said to me last time that the siege side must be at least three times as much as the garrison to attack! You have as many stones as I have now! It's impossible to capture my city! ""Ha ha ha ha ha!" The old man chuckled and said, "kid! It's my ability to attack or not. Before the battle is over, don't make a rash judgment. Otherwise, you will lose your pants! " With that, he took a look at Li Yuanhe's lower body, as if he could see through his clothes. This is also the rule of the old man and Li Yuanhe playing war games. Once he loses, he has to take off a piece of clothes, but every time Li Yuanhe loses all his body, but he has never seen the old man take off once, even his ragged hat.
Hearing the old man say this, Li Yuanhe's small face can't help reddening. Even though he was not convinced, he hummed: "I must beat you to take off your clothes today! I don't believe it! Can you beat me with a wall as a barrier? " Immediately, in front of the old man, he distributed all ten stones on the four walls. One wall had two stones, and the remaining two stones were placed in the middle of the city. In order to distinguish them from the old man's stones, Li Yuanhe specially drew a black road on each stone with the charcoal left over from the bonfire last night.
The old man smiles, but he does not hurry to use his hands to wipe the wall of the nearby mountain temple. He smears a lot of white lime and rubs it on his own stones as a sign. Then he said to Li Yuanhe with a smile: "how about it? Are you ready? I'm going to attack your front door? " With that, he blinked at Li Yuanhe.
Young Li Yuanhe said solemnly: "old man, didn't you say that? there can never be too much deception in war! If you want to fight, why do you ask me if I'm ready? How can this be like fighting between two armies? " Li Yuanhe was not satisfied with the old man's behavior, but because he felt that the old man looked down on himself.
"Ha ha!" When the old man laughed, he lined up his stones outside the city and said, "how about it? Are you going out of town to meet the enemy? " With that, he put a stone in front of him.
Li Yuanhe turned his lips and ignored the old man's provocation. Instead, he put all the stones on the wall. After thinking about it, he took out one stone from each of the other three walls and arranged it on the front wall. Finally, he put the two spare stones in the city on the top of the front wall. This time I felt that it was safe and sound. I held up my head towards the old man and showed a defiant look.
However, the old man never put away his smile and lined up all the stones all the way to the city wall to make an appearance of preparing to attack the city. Li Yuanhe was stunned and asked, "grandfather, are you standing like this? I'm going to let archers attack you! According to the previous rules, a stone can only support half a column of incense? "
The old man did not pay any attention to Li Yuanhe's words, but suddenly raised his head and grinned at him. He picked up a stone and suddenly threw it to Li Yuanhe's wall. The stone went directly through the simple gate on the wall and entered the city. Then, one by one, the old man threw the stones in one after another. When Li Yuanhe responded, all the ten stones of the old man had entered the city and fell in the middle of the city.
"Wow! no way! Grandfather! You are a liar Seeing that the old man broke into his own city like this, there was no reason at all. Li Yuanhe certainly refused to give up, even if he had to grab the old man's stone and throw it out.
However, the old man stopped Li Yuanhe's little hand with a smile and asked playfully, "kid! How can I be a liar? I've broken into your city! You lost the battle! You can't afford to lose! That's not what men do The old man had never run Li Yuanhe with a man since he was a child.
Li Yuanhe was so aggrieved that he was about to shed tears. If the old man hadn't told him about the man, he was afraid that the golden beans in his eyes would fall down. Li Yuanhe sucked hard at his nose and tried to hold back his tears. He turned his mouth and cried, "it's clearly my grandfather who plays tricks! What can I do to defend the city wall when I have too many walls to defend? " With that, Li Yuanhe pointed to the black stones on the wall of the city, and pointed to the ten small white stones in the city.
