Chapter 11 Abandoned Sentence Chapter 7

The south gate is not official. Although there is a large area of farmland outside the city, it is in troubled times, and the fields have long been overgrown with weeds. After the heavy rain, the city was covered with mud, and even the mud legs of the farming did not want to go there, let alone others. The south of this city is the most weak point of the repair of Juzhang City. Perhaps Yao Sheng and other thieves have already seen that this is the weakness of Zhangcheng.

At this time, spies from the east and north of the city rushed to the south of the city to report the war situation: the two gates were brightly lit, and the thieves kept climbing the city and attacking the city wall. The gates of the two cities are fine, but compared with the east of the city, the attack in the north is still fierce, and the soldiers are hard to defend.

I ordered the detectives and personal soldiers to go to various places to pass orders: once the city is destroyed, the thief soldiers are very likely to slaughter the city. Those who stick to it will be rewarded, and those who are relaxed will never be spared!

I left more than a dozen people to help the defenders in the south of the city fill the door hole and lead the troops to the north of the city.

On the way, another spy came to report that the defenders in the north of the city suffered heavy casualties, and Liu Zhong was also seriously injured and had been removed from the city. Fortunately, the siege in the north and west of the city has stopped. Only the fighting in the east of the city is still the same, but the enemy's offensive has slowed down much.

I returned to the south of the city with a group of people. The fortifications there are the weakest, and I can't rest assured.

Who said that thieves don't know tactics? Who said they wouldn't hit the east and the west? Throughout the night, I kept running around and traveling north and south. Although the body is extremely tired, the heart is more tired.

After checking around the city, as soon as he entered the tower, he sank his body on the chair in the middle without saying a word. Yu Qiujin looked at me, sat down in the chair below, and said nothing. We sat so quietly, listening to the accidental shouts of killing outside the city. The killing sound was sparse and almost drowned out by the sound of frogs.

Gradually, I couldn't even hear those perfunctory shouts. There is only the sound of frogs.

If you are not in a dangerous city, this scene seems to invite friends to talk or meditate in a room. However, the people in the tower did not talk to each other or meditate, but just looked at each other and were speechless.

It is said that the people in Tianshidao and Shamen are also like us when they practice. Or one person, or several people, put their bodies in one room, put their minds all over the world, and have no desire to do nothing. It's just that Sun En, the master of Heaven and Taoism, is extremely eager. In fact, it is the misfortune of the heavenly teacher and the great misfortune of the people of the country.

After the dawn, the thieves outside the city disappeared. The doorway has been sealed by dirt, and hundreds of people are rambling the soil to strengthen the sealed doorway.

I did not go down from the south gate, but bypassed the east gate from the wall and went down from the north gate. On the one hand, you can check the city defenses along the head of the city, and on the other hand, you can't bear to look at the cruel and wolf fire in the south of the city.

Although the enemy did not attack the city this night, the city wall was particularly damaged. This Zhangcheng was originally built in an empty place, and the defense it can rely on depends entirely on this wall. But now this wall without a female wall has been pulled out by countless hooks, and it seems to have added a female wall from afar. Several places were seriously damaged. The wall collapsed halfway down from the top, and the thief jumped up the city by stepping on the protruding wall bricks.

The wall was destroyed so heavily and widely that it was too late to speed up the repair.

My worries are even heavier.

After I set up all the city defenses, I went back to my house to visit Liu Zhong. I heard that he was seriously injured guarding the North City last night, and I don't know how it is now.

When he returned to the house, the military doctor had finished his diagnosis. He saluted me and said, "Although the world's injury is serious, it doesn't matter. It's just that I can't fight in the near future, and I need to take good care of it.

Behind the military doctor, Liu Zhong lay there with his eyes closed. He was injured in many places, and the knife wound on his chest almost killed him.

When Liu Zhong woke up, he couldn't say a word, but couldn't help crying. I clapped his hand and said to him, "The world is indeed a warrior. Don't worry, the military doctor has seen it and said it doesn't matter. Take good care of yourself."

His hand moved, but he was still unable to lift it up. I smiled and tucked his hand into the quilt. At this time, a green thing suddenly fell out of the quilt. I picked it up and found that it was a sachet.

Although this sachet is an ordinary shape, the pattern on it looks very familiar, and I can't remember where I have seen it for a moment. I was stunned with the sachet for a long time. When I saw everyone looking at me, I quickly stuffed the sachet into Liu Zhong's quilt and left with everyone.

Although I stayed up all night, I couldn't sleep after lying on the couch for a long time. On the one hand, I almost made a big mistake because I underestimated the enemy, and I was afraid and regretted; on the other hand, the familiar sachet always lingered in my heart and was difficult to erase.

Thinking of yesterday's scene, Liu Zhong, who has always been the leader of my own soldiers, was not in the house at night, and then hurried back from the outside when he encountered an emergency military situation. Such behavior is very strange. I don't know if it has anything to do with this sachet. And why does this sachet make me think about it? I'm also very puzzled. At present, Liu Zhong is seriously injured, and it is inconvenient for me to ask more. This matter has been put on hold.

When he was about to fall asleep in a daze, he was awakened by the enemy.

Although this time it is not as fierce as last night, due to the serious damage to the city wall, our advantage of sticking to the city has been greatly reduced. At those damaged walls, nearly half of the troops in the city were equipped, which completely disrupted the deployment of the previous garrison.

Several generals and I ran east and west in the city and finally resisted the enemy's attack.

This is the most embarrassing time since I became an officer.

The battle in less than an hour lost more than 20 soldiers. This is the worst time I have suffered in the future.

The previously damaged city wall has been damaged again. According to my previous experience in building the city, although this wall has not been completely destroyed, it is difficult to withstand the strong attack. Sun En's thief soldiers will make a few more flying hook attacks, and this wall will completely collapse.

It seems that this chapter can no longer be kept.

"Liu Sima, I will send someone to repair the city wall immediately." Yu Qiujin, who stood beside me, knew that military affairs were his duty and beg me for orders without waiting for instructions.

I didn't respond to his request, but asked, "Yuzhi, you are familiar with Huiji. Do you know if there is a suitable place for garrison around this chapter?"

"Garrison? Is there a big army coming?"

I shook my head and said, "Come with me."

Yu Qiujin followed me into the tower. I sent out all my own soldiers before saying to Yu Qiujin, "I'm afraid Zhangcheng can't be defended. I have built a wall before, and I know that it will take more than a few days to build. I plan to move the defenders and the people to a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Do you know where is better around here?

Yu Qiujin was extremely surprised when he heard that I was going to evacuate. But since I so solemnly put others away from talking to him about this matter, it is obvious that the situation is extremely serious. He lowered his head and pondered for a long time and said, "There is a plain around the sentence. I'm afraid it's not easy to find a dangerous place. Unless it is to retreat south into the mountains.

"What mountain?"

"It's not true that it's a mountain. In fact, it's just a hill dozens of feet high."

"Dozens of feet?"

"Eight or ninety feet, maybe more than a hundred feet."

"Are there any lakes around?"

"There are lakes and streams."

I meditated with my beard for a long time and finally made up my mind. Yu Qiu was ordered to enter and quickly prepare for the withdrawal of the army and people.

I couldn't check the garrison in person, so I had to choose more than a dozen scouts to go to the place mentioned in Yuqiu to choose the terrain.

Before the scouts set off, I told them a few conditions for the selected terrain: First, the terrain is high. It can not only increase the advantage to the defense like the city wall, but also condescending to defeat the enemy; second, there is a river in front of it. This is a natural moat. It is unfavorable to attack, but it is conducive to defense; third, there is a bridge that can only accommodate several people walking side by side, or there is no bridge at all. The bridge is not wide, so it is easy to guard against the sudden advance of the army.

What we are going to give up is a man-made city, and what we are going to look for is a naturally formed city. There is only one prototype in my heart about how to use the terrain to defeat the enemy. I only hope that it can be gradually refined and truly achieve defense, and minimize the flaws of defense.

The thief soldiers outside the city have no food, and they have been busy all night without any harvest, so they have no intention to fight again. We were frightened all night and did not dare to attack the camp. In this way, both sides were deadlocked for several days.

This may not be good for the enemy, but not bad for us.
