Hand over the jade seal first [Infrastructure]

Ling Fu was stunned for a moment and quickly said: "Your Majesty, I will lead the troops there. Your Highness doesn't have to go out in person."

Xiao Xuexing got up and said: "The ancestors were disturbed, and I will go to pay respects to those people after they are dealt with."

Ling Fu was originally worried about Xiao Xuexing's health, but now he couldn't say anything, so he could only persuade him: "Then you should eat something on the way."

Xiao Xuexing agreed and changed into a suit of armor. Although everyone was worried about his body, Xiao Xuexing felt that there was nothing wrong with him, at least he could still afford this suit of armor, and Chang Shuo could also handle it.

This time he did not choose to ride in an ox cart, but pulled out a war horse that he hadn't ridden for a long time. The whole body of the war horse was pure black with only a little white on the forehead.

And when Xiao Xuexing rushed to his ancestral house, Xiao Zirong was fighting with the 300 people of Wei Jun.

Wei Jun went ashore in the middle of the night on the second day. After landing, they first took a rest and then hid in the mountains. Even if Qi Jun chased them in the mountains and wanted to take them down, it would not be easy.

Even though there were all kinds of wild beasts in this mountain forest, compared to those fierce soldiers under Xiao Xuexing, Wei Jun looked at those wild beasts and felt that his features were more delicate.

When they are resting, the first thing they look for is the water source, and the place where they land is not far from the tributary of the Yangtze River.

At any rate, there were more experienced people in the Wei army, and they quickly found the tributary, while those who went to fetch water during the meal and break saw a waterwheel and a canal standing alone on the bank.

Wei Bing immediately reported the news. The leader of this ship was a Zhuang general in the Northern Wei Dynasty. After hearing about it, the Zhuang general went to check it out. There must be a village near here!"

The traces of artificial excavation of the canal are still obvious, especially the rammed earth dams on both sides, which look like they were piled up artificially.

Building General was very excited, he was still worrying about what to do next.

Originally, there were only more than 1000 of them, and they could not be discovered by the Qi army. As a result, nearly [-]% of the troops were discovered by the Qi army, and they were the only ship left. If he was not worried that he would be condemned by the emperor, he would have turned his head and returned.

Now there is finally a turning point. Of course, he doesn't really want to threaten the people here.

There are mountains and forests around here, it is estimated that it is an ordinary small mountain village, even if there are not many people, the person stationed here is the regent of Qi State, who is said to be cruel, so these hundreds of people may not be taken seriously.

What he wants is to kill these hundreds of people, take all the men's heads back, and then say that they are the killed Qi army. Although they are suspected of pretending to be leaders, but now they are all on the same rope Grasshopper, as long as the order continues, they will try to shut up for their own lives.

The building general immediately ordered: "Hurry up and eat, and go on the road immediately after eating!"

The soldiers below took orders immediately.

Wei Jun marched all the way along the canal, the more he walked, the more he could see traces of human actions.

After an analysis, Zhujiang found that he had approached the village wirelessly, and decisively ordered to suspend the march, wanting to wait until night before going there.

He was worried that what he said during the day would be discovered by the farmers who came out to work. What if someone ran out to inform the Qi army?

What he wants is to come and go quietly, and take away only the head with a flick of his sleeve.

At this time, Xiao Zirong didn't know that the danger was approaching. As usual, he told Lu Liu to arrange a patrol. Anyway, he would not relax his nerves until the Northern Wei retreated.

After making the arrangements, he decided to go to bed. Although it was just dark, the oil lamps are not bright enough these years. Thinking about Xiao Ji being regarded as blind because of myopia, he has to cherish his eyes, and he will not work if he can't work at night. live.

In the middle of the night, when people sleep the most during the day, General Zhuang of the Northern Wei Dynasty saw the time and decisively asked his soldiers to get up and prepare to reach the opposing village.

Originally, in Zhuangjiang’s mind, this was a small mountain village, which could be easily destroyed, but as a result, he followed the path explored by scouts during the day, and the more he walked, the more he felt that something was wrong—why was there a tall and big wall in front of him?

During the day, the scouts didn't go too close to avoid being discovered, and went back to report the situation when they saw people moving. As a result, the building general didn't even know that the hidden mountain village was not at all!

Of course, in terms of population, they are a little more than mountain villages, but they are rich and technologically advanced.

When General Zhuang brought people to light the torches, he was discovered by the guards patrolling the city wall. When they saw the continuous torches, they felt tense, but these young ladies were very calm and sent someone to ring the bell. , the rest of the people took their positions and stepped on the crossbow.

Each crossbow requires at least two people to operate, and their patrol soldiers can just meet this number.

When Xiao Zirong was designing, there were a total of four bells, one on each side of the four city wall corners, one of which rang and the other three bells followed.

This is to prevent everyone from being woken up by the bell during sleep. Of course, the most important thing is that Xiao Zirong's City Lord's Mansion is in the center of the city.

The four bells rang at the same time, and each bell struck three times in a row. After a pause, Xiao Zirong woke up when he hit the second round. A piece of clothing ran out and asked, "What's going on?"

Liu Cainiang also woke up at this time, with her hair twitched, she walked over while arranging her clothes and said, "City Lord, the enemy is attacking!"

Xiao Zirong's heart tightened. Although he had been working hard to prepare, it didn't mean he was ready to fight!

There are people here who count as one, and they are all beginners, but the opponent who comes may be an army of hundreds of battles. Even with crossbows and black powder, he is panicked.

However, at a glance, everyone's faces were full of panic and fear. Xiao Zirong could only suppress the tension in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Didn't you already notify and rehearse before? What to do, what to do, let us know first." Come on, what's the situation now?"

When he was asking this, Lu Liu hurriedly walked in from the outside to salute and said, "City Lord, the other party is only five miles away from us, and the crossbows on the city wall have been erected."

Xiao Zirong took a deep breath: "The patrol team did a good job, Lu Liu immediately sent people to assemble the team, and the archers went up to the city wall."

While talking, he got dressed and tied his long hair into a ponytail. After thinking about it, he turned around and brought his own longbow and longsword.

His martial arts is actually not very good, the bow's pulling force is a bit heavier than the one in Liu Cainiang's hand, and the long sword is more often than not a decoration.

After all, he just wanted to lead by example when he went to practice martial arts at the beginning. After he found out that the ladies in the guards were more active than him, he began to seldom go there on the grounds of being busy. In fact, he knew very well that the entire Taoyuan City There are not so many things about him, he is just lazy and squeamish.

Now he began to regret that he didn't practice well at the beginning, otherwise he would have more confidence.

Judging from his expression, it can be seen that he has no confidence at all. When he walked all the way, he met those people who came to gather in a hurry. He raised his chin slightly, and walked up the city wall with a calm look. .

In fact, nothing can be seen clearly on the city wall now, only the torches below are marching here.

The building general also felt that he had seen a ghost. Why is there a city wall in this broken place?It can't be that the other party knew their route in advance and specially built the city wall, right?

This doesn't make sense either, he just bumped into it by mistake, and the city wall is also a bit high, except for the capital Luoyang, he has never seen such a high city wall!

But now they have been discovered, although the best way is to retreat, but one look at the city wall and you know that there may be troops stationed inside, as long as they dare to run, the opponent will definitely chase them, and they will be unfamiliar because of the black lights Problems with terrain.

So at this time, even if the general has a guilty conscience, he must grit his teeth and persist in attacking the city. If he is lucky and wins, he can still retreat calmly.

If you're unlucky...that's nothing more than being captured.

General Zhuang ordered to move on, and the adjutant next to him was a little surprised and said, "Hey, why are there some young ladies on the opposite wall?"

General Zhuang looked up, and after careful identification, he found that it was real. Suddenly his heart skipped a beat, and he asked in a low voice, "Isn't this... a ghost town?"

The adjutant also trembled after hearing this, looked up at General Zhuang and felt a little uneasy, but looked at the soldiers behind him and gritted his teeth and said: "General, even if there are all female ghosts up there, we have to fight a wave, let alone it shouldn't be Ghost town, don’t they also go out of the city to work during the day?”

The building general thought for a while and then said, "What if? What if the city is normal during the day and a ghost town at night?"

adjutant:……

Letting you lead troops to fight is really a shame, your imagination should be a storyteller!Guaranteed to be more promising than now!Maybe His Majesty will reward you with an official position if he is happy to hear it!

The adjutant gritted his teeth and said: "Ghosts are also afraid of evil people. We have been born and died for so many years, are we still afraid of a few ghosts? What's more, ghosts are good, ghosts can't report to Xiao Xuexing!"

The building general thought it was the same reason, and immediately drew out the long knife at his waist and shouted: "Boys, go! Go into the city and make a little lady for each person! Don't seal the knife within three days!"

Women with money have always been the best way to motivate their soldiers. Now they have no way out and can only charge forward.

As soon as Xiao Zirong stood on the city wall, he heard someone yelling such a sentence from below, and he was very angry immediately. When he got angry, he even forgot the anxiety and fear just now. He slapped the wall and said, "Where did you come from?" Ignorant stuff? Teach them a lesson!"
