Chapter 12 Moving Creek 4

Across the river and a lake, we confronted the thief army in a stream. They did not dare to attack before the arrival of the army. We were busy continuing to build fortifications, let alone take the initiative to challenge. In the next few days, even if the food and fodder soldiers had been fully supplied and their strength had increased to nearly 10,000, they showed no sign of trying to attack. I don't know who led the troops, but I know that neither Yao Sheng nor Sun En is in Xiaoxi at this time.

This situation has lasted for many days, which can't help but make me suspicious: the thief soldiers followed the stream from sentence to sentence, and it should be to capture the stream. Judging from the current situation, perhaps the thieves camped in the stream not to attack, but to use the army of more than 10,000 people to firmly nail us here and attack other cities with all their strength. Otherwise, why can't I see any of the commanders and generals I met before outside the Xiaoxizhai?

The more I think about it, the more likely it is. Quickly ordered people to reprimand Hou Chang to come in, let him send some people around Shangyu to inquire about the defensive situation of Shangyu, Huiji and other places, and inform Liu Laozhi of my idea, and let him remind him to prevent the thieves everywhere to make a large-scale attack.

Several scouts sent out are limited to returning before midnight the next day.

The reason for the time limit is to prevent these people who are both reconnaissance and messenger from being arrested or killed halfway and misrepresentate the military situation. Although the scouts did not go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, they were no less threatened to their lives than the soldiers who fought with the enemy. Moreover, the North Road was blocked, and they had to take a detour to Shangyu. They were more likely to encounter the thief army and were more threatened with death.

Before the scouts returned, Yao Sheng's figure appeared in the enemy camp again. The fear of the thief soldiers attacking Shangyu and Huiji disappeared at the moment they saw Yao Sheng, but the worry of Xiaoxi being attacked came again. The thousands he brought set up a new camp outside the camp, two miles apart.

Although Yao Sheng captured Juzhang City, he did not seem to be satisfied with the victory. He came in person this time, thinking that he was determined to remove the nail of the stream.

Abandoning Zhangcheng has made the army and the people panic. Now you can't be careless when guarding the stream.

Towards midnight, there was a sudden sound of drums outside the village. I faintly heard the noise from one after another in the two thief camps. Leaning on the couch waiting, I smiled, blew out the candles on the table, put down the tent, and slept safely...

I woke up the next morning and was in an unusually good mood.

As soon as I stepped out of the door, I saw the golden sunlight on the opposite house, dyeing the wooden wall into a piece of gold. Several unknown seabirds passed by in the sky, and the crisp calls were refreshing.

Liu Zhong came out of another room. As soon as he saw me, he was busy with a military salute before he went to tie his belt.

His injury is not as serious as he thought. After a month of recuperation, he can already walk around. I strode out of the yard and walked along the mountain road to the north of the stockade.

Check the nearby houses and chat with the people in order to understand the people's situation. Although these details are done by Yu Qiujin, I still feel guilty about moving Juzhangcheng to Xiaoxi. People have moved here, but things may not be able to move here. Many families are people with wrong, especially those rich people.

has not been complained or scolded by many people behind it. Even if everyone knows that Zhangcheng can't be defended by others, it is frustrating that he has lost money in vain. In this regard, I have no choice but to explain it to calm people's hearts.

As soon as I climbed the wall, I saw the sunlight coming from the right front, which was dazzling. Looking out of the village with a cool tent, a bright lake is embedded in the ground, connected to an equally shining river. Looking down from the top of the village, it looks like Jin Ruyi on the side.

The thief camp is on the other side of wishes. I couldn't see clearly in the backlight, and I only saw more than a dozen wis of cooking smoke hanging over the barracks. Occasionally, several thieves passed by the tent in the camp with guns. In addition, there is no movement.

From the few cooking smoke, it can be judged that even if the thieves have newly shipped grain and fodder, it is not enough to supply the army to eat. Sentences have been repeatedly plagued by soldiers, and the surrounding area is a clear field. It is impossible for the thief soldiers to gather enough food and fodder from everywhere.

The soldiers on the wall saluted and greeted me. Several soldiers who had just taken a nap at the foot of the wall had already picked up their weapons and jumped up and stood up straight to me. I motioned them to continue to sit down and rest.

After my inspection, I was about to go down the wall when a little leader climbed a ladder and reported to me about the disturbance of the enemy last night. At my instruction, they took more than a dozen drums to ambush near the thief camp. In the middle of the night, he began to beat drums and harassed the enemy.

The little leader said, "As Liu Sima expected, the enemy panicked, but he did not dare to attack. So I waited in the early morning and came back leisurely with the drum.

Everyone laughed happily.

"Thank you all for your hard work! Go back and have a rest first. You don't have to wait for it today. After saying that, I went down to the wall and then inspected the situation in the village.

Many people actually disapprove of the military and people moving to the town of Xiaoxi. However, it is obvious to all that the city wall is about to collapse. Coupled with the fierce force of the thief army, it is undoubtedly a dead end for the people to stay in the city to protect their family property.

From the sentence to the stream, the change is very huge. But I think the biggest change is that the rich and poor eliminated the difference overnight. Except for the clothes and the different belongings in the package, there is no difference. When building a new house together, the interaction between these people has also increased a lot. After all, the hearts of the people in distress are connected.

As soon as Yao Sheng came, I knew that the thief soldiers were going to attack the city.

Sure enough, near noon, the enemy began to cross the river. Although the number of thieves is large, the offensive is not fierce. It is Yao Sheng's usual trick to use gimming between formal attacks.

The reason why I didn't order to attack when the enemy was halfway was to check the enemy's attack power and to see if the wall was strong enough. The combat effectiveness of the thief soldiers who disturbed the sleepless night is far less than before. However, the strength of the wall is much stronger than I expected, which is better than the city wall. The thief soldiers climbed the wall with ladders, flying hooks and other means, which were successfully resolved by the defenders.

I have fought with Sun En many times and know that ordinary thief soldiers are not difficult to deal with, but after all, there are a large number of thief soldiers. If the thief soldiers continue to attack, it will greatly consume the strength of the defenders. The method of disturbing the enemy at night is precisely to consume the physical strength and morale of the thief soldiers, so that the thief soldiers are unable, powerless and unintentionally to organize a large-scale siege battle.

This battle launched by thieves is an experiment to check the effectiveness of disturbing the enemy. After nearly half an hour of fighting, dozens of bodies piled up under the wall.
