Chapter 11 Abandoned Sentence Chapter 1

The enemy camp is still the same as yesterday. A pen holder general died, and hundreds of people died, but it didn't change much. I don't know what kind of general and how big the so-called "Heavenly General" is in the thief army. In the Yellow Turban Army at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the "General Tiangong" was a great official and the highest leader of the army (Note 1).

I asked the soldiers around me, and they were also not sure about the importance of this "General Tiangong". The war report sent to Liu Jaozhi yesterday was very brief, and the words "General Tiangong" were also written in. Maybe after Liu Laozhi's reply came, he knew what the pen holder was all about.

For more than ten days, the thieves did not attack the city again, nor did they show any signs of attacking the city. Instead, every morning, thieves gather in front of the camp to look at Juzhang City and give advice. It seems that they regard the silver sentence city as a scenery.

If this general is dead, the thief soldiers will not give up. Before the arrival of large-scale enemy soldiers, they rushed to strengthen the defense of Juzhang City together. Previously, the four weak places on the city wall were also reinforced with ram soil and masonry.

Looking at this stronger city defense, my worries have weakened a little. The so-called one man is in charge of the barrier, and it is not necessary to choose the majestic barrier with a dangerous situation. As long as this small sentence is well-defended, it can also be as solid.

The wind is strong in the city, and I'm going to go down to the city after a look. When I turned the corner of the city, I heard the sound of soldiers practicing in the city. I walked to the wall and bent down to look into the city. Two groups of soldiers were seen practicing hand-to-hand combat in the open space near the city wall.

I searched and asked the soldiers around me, "Is the strong man who can open five bows in the army last night in the team?"

A personal soldier came up and pointed to a person in the penultimate row and said, "It should be that."

That man is indeed akuen. He stood there in a regular manner and listened to the instructions of the general in front of him.

Liu Zhong came from the tower at this time. I asked him, "Shizhi, what kind of blade did that en use?"

The world is the word of Liu Zhong.

Liu Zhong replied, "He entered the gun barracks, so he used a long gun. However, he said that he likes to use knives.

"Oh." I nodded and watched the soldiers drill condescendingly.

Next to the stable in the distance, a team of people are practicing knife skills; further away, on the wall, a young general is supervising the archery of the soldiers...

A few days later, another team of people came from the east. There was a yellow general flag in the team and wrote a big word "Yao" on it. Everyone around me doesn't know what it is.

After reading the main book of the army, Shangcheng told me, "This man's name is Yao Sheng, and he is the marshal of the thief army."

Marshal? To deal with the small sentence, a "general of heaven" was sent first, and now a marshal has been sent. Is this small county worthy of Sun En's group of thieves?

I put a cool cloak in my hand and looked at the thief army for a long time and said to the main book, "Yuzhi, you haven't been here many days, and you still know a lot about it. This marshal came just in time. We just killed a heavenly general and were about to sacrifice the flag. Now it seems that this marshal's head seems to be more suitable.

The main book does not say anything, and there is a complex look on his face. His name is Yu Qiujin, and his name is Yuzhi. When I was transferred from the inspection to the sentence, Liu Laozhi specially sent him to serve me as a military official to deal with some trivial matters in military affairs and civil affairs. In addition, Yu Qiujin is Liu Laozhi's old subordinate. With him, he can help me suppress the guards of Juzhang and the veterans in Liu prison's army.

When everyone was about to disperse in the city, I stopped Yu Qiujin: "How are the spears, knives and bows?"

"The blacksmiths in the city have been stepping up the construction. I don't know when the general needs it?" Yu Qiujin asked.

"Of course, the sooner the better. However, let them make more spears and knives first. Bows and arrows are not busy. After saying that, I asked him to visit the craftsman's camp.

Since Yao Sheng arrived, the atmosphere of the thief camp has changed. If I hadn't been busy arranging the city defense these days, I would have planned to go out of the city to harass the thief camp. After all, the camp where the thieves were stationed was chaotic, and the attack camp would definitely succeed. However, after the marshal of the thief army came, I gave up this idea, because Yao Sheng's military appearance was completely different from Li Er's.

It seems that the marshal is a marshal, much better than the pen holder general.

When thinking about the difference between Yao Sheng and Li Er, I suddenly thought that when our army went south from Wu County, the strength of the thief soldiers encountered along Zhejiang, Huiji and other places was very different from the thief soldiers Sun En attacked Wu County. In other words, the strength is almost the same, but the tactics are completely different. The thief soldiers in Wu County can be described as a piece of scattered sand, but the thief soldiers south of Zhejiang are quite familiar with tactics.

For this reason, Liu Laozhi also said to me at the time of Huiji: "If it were still the group of thieves in Wu County defending the city, Huiji City would have been captured by our army long ago. Thieves seem to be becoming more and more proficient in fighting. However, fortunately, Sun En didn't get anyone, otherwise it would be difficult to deal with if a good general commanded these thousands of troops.

I deeply agree with this, and I am also convinced that the thief soldiers are not all mob, but those who are good at fighting did not participate in the battle of Wujun.

Near noon, the thieves began to line up to approach the city wall and stop about 200 steps away from the city. The marshal in a silver helmet rode behind the queue and looked closely at the defense of the city head. After a long inspection, he ordered to adjust the formation again and then issue a number to attack the city.

Yao Sheng was really prepared. The soldiers he led did not climb the city with bare hands or use bamboo poles to support them like Li Er's soldiers. After rushing to the city, the thieves took out the hook from their waist, circled quickly seven or eight times around their heads, and let go of the hook and quickly flew up the wall. If you fly high, you will hook the inner wall, and if you fly low, you will hook the wall tiles. These thieves pulled the hook rope hard and began to climb the rope after making sure it was unobstructed. From taking the hook to starting to climb the city, it's just a few words. It can be seen that Yao Sheng's soldiers are well trained and not under the officers and soldiers at all.

However, Yao Sheng's siege tactics are similar to Li Er's, and the unmelt ice on the wall has added obstacles to the siege, so although the climbing speed is much faster, this tentative siege has not achieved substantial effect. Before long, more than a dozen thieves died tragically under the city. Seeing that the situation was not good, Yao Sheng immediately received his troops.

It took only two meals from the beginning of the siege to the collection of troops.

Yao Sheng waved his army and retreated a hundred steps, and after another inspection, he ordered to return to the camp.

Although the weather is cold, the sunlight at noon is particularly strong, shining on the body. After eating full, I feel drowsy under such a sun. How can the ice on the city wall resist such a hot sun? It is turning into water little by little, flowing into dozens of streams at the foot of the city and flowing into the moat.

This battle before noon should be the weakest offensive battle during the defensive period. Not even an enemy has attacked the top of the city. I ordered the generals defending the city to pass on the message: This is a masm of the thief soldiers. Don't slack off.

After about two hours, Yao Sheng led the troops out of the camp again. The soldiers brought this time are very different from those who attacked the city before noon. If it is expected, it should be Yao Sheng's elite troops this time.
