Although the first few members of the family have had several rehearsals these days, they are all encounters, and this is the first time that they have been in siege warfare. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

And as the fifth cousin said before, compared to the encounter, the siege war since ancient times is indeed more difficult.

It is usually necessary to pay a greater price, that is, a large number of siege weapons, as well as a large number of casualties, to achieve the goal, to storm the city gates, and engage in street fighting.

Therefore, no matter how impregnable an army is, when facing a fortified city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and would rather die than surrender, even if the besieging army is several times larger than the defending city, it still needs to pay a heavy price.

Therefore, siege warfare is often a pattern of war that occurs only as a last resort, that is, when it is already known that there is no hope of persuasion.

It's really so hard that Chenguang, who can only take the flesh and blood of the soldiers on both sides, and even the flesh and blood of the ordinary people, will become a meat grinder.

Shoot with thorns, smash with choke, burn with water...... Often do everything.

The besieging side usually uses siege, fire, water, earth, tunnel, and even plague to carry out a strong siege, and the weapons used are highly lethal siege machinery such as heavy crossbows, rushing carts, ladders, grappling hooks, and earth platforms. The defending side will also use defensive tactics such as blocking, defending, and protecting, and even unconventional means to resist death and suppression, and the weapons used are also corresponding crossbow arrows, thistles, antler wood, trap pits, defending wood, and Saimen knife carts and other defense machinery.

It's almost hell on earth.

This also led to the fact that once the city was broken, there were countless tragic examples of the massacre of the city in history.

Of course, the little characters are just a rehearsal, so naturally it is impossible to come to the real thing.

Moreover, the weapons and equipment they can use are very limited, and basically all offensive weapons, even a slingshot in ordinary hands, cannot be brought to the battlefield.

The previous encounters were basically point-to-point, just like when they used to practice martial arts. This time Zirao has advanced to the siege battle, and at most he will take a few ladders to fill up.

Even so, he was still told by the elders that he must ensure safety, otherwise he would never say anything, and he would definitely sit down, and no matter what they wanted to do from now on, they would not be allowed.

Naturally, the junior characters can only make promises.

However, they all know that their rehearsal is actually just an experiment and summary of various tactics, and in fact, it has nothing to do with the battle.

It's just that it's not as good as the previous encounter, which is a siege battle, so in order not to make the disparity between the enemy and us too great, so after the consultation, the Blue Army was specially increased.

It was decided by drawing lots that Luo Ji's first team was the Red Army and was responsible for defending the city. The four cousins, the five cousins, and the two teams were the Blues, who were responsible for the siege. After the fourth cousin and the fifth cousin drew lots, it was decided that the fifth cousin would take charge of the overall situation.

And for the sake of safety, although it was a siege in name, the Blues were not allowed to step out of the fort, which meant that the attack and defense would be carried out at home.

In addition to the Qin Lianhu brothers and Master Chen, who would patrol up and down the castle wall, Hua Jiao and his sisters, as spectators, were already guarding the climbing road of the fort wall at dusk, waiting to watch the brothers' drills before the fiery red sun had completely set.

This is not the first time that the Huajiao sisters have been in the audience, in fact, even they themselves have not really figured out that Yao's concubines would acquiesce to their rather outrageous behavior.

Hua Jiao probably thinks that maybe it is because of what happened to Father Qin back then, or because the tragedy of the Qin family in their Wubentang was too strong for the family.

Of course, this is just a guess on the part of Sichuan pepper.

And what made them even more unexpected at this time was that it seemed to have turned a fake into a reality, and the rehearsal turned into a real battle.

Especially after the cricket cricket sound sounded with a bit of tentative meaning up and down, the clove was already conditioned, and after a momentary pause, it immediately changed the way of vocalization, and immediately stopped after three or four rapid barks, and then repeated.

The meaning of the warning is very obvious: "I suspect that the enemy is approaching our army, I think we should be more vigilant!" ”

Hua Jiao supported his ears, and could probably hear the source of these tentative imitation calls, and then recognized a stack of rapid and loud "chirp" cricket cries in this piece of chirp, and hurriedly tugged Lilac's arm: "Third sister, there is a voice imitated by the second uncle, it is getting closer and closer, it seems that something is really wrong!" ”

Otherwise, Qin Lianxiong's imitation of the chirping sound could not be so majestic and urgent, if Hua Jiao is not mistaken, such a chirp is exactly the solemn warning sound that the cricket will give when someone of the same sex enters the territory.

Lilac was stunned for a moment, and instantly made a judgment, believing in the judgment of the pepper, and continued to bark, but the speed slowed down, and the tone was overwhelming the lowest: "The enemy army is approaching, ready to fight!" ”

It is not only a reminder to our army, but also a warning to the enemy.

Later, Lilac also caught the rapid chirping of the "chirp" that Sichuan Pepper said was getting closer and closer, so she lowered her voice slightly and let out two sharp and short barks, which are typical of greetings.

Qin Lianxiong, who was walking on the ground on the road to the city, really followed the sound, and Hua Jiao only felt two "whooshing" sounds, and heard Qin Lianxiong's deliberately lowered voice, and explained to Lilac: "Maybe there is an enemy attack, Lilac will take her sisters back first, inform your grandfather and grandmother, get ready, and wait for our exact news." ”

Their guess almost came true, not to mention that the cloves almost jumped up, and even the peppercorn's heart almost jumped out.

For a moment, I couldn't tell whether I was scared or nervous.

Lilac was nervous and excited, and nodded heavily: "Yes, second uncle, I will complete the task." ”

Without the slightest hesitation, he held the pepper in one hand and the bay leaf in the other, got off the road to the city in the dark, and rushed to the backyard.

The distance is only ten zhang away, and the peppercorns who only hear the "whirring" wind in their ears have a feeling of suffocation.

Xiangye was no better than her, and when she stopped in front of the main entrance of the long house, she only knew that she was holding on to the wall and gasping for air.

There is only Lilac, as if she has nothing to do, and in three or two sentences, she explained the matter to Father Qin and Lady Qin clearly, and followed Father Qin's words, and went to report a few messages to the Du family and Luo's concubines in each room.

Soon, a group of female dependents met in the long room.

The room was quiet, and everyone looked at it uneasily, except for Qin Lao Niang, who was sitting at the head of the town, with a solemn expression and didn't know what she was thinking, everyone's eyes were full of fear.

The peppercorns, who were easy to catch their breath, stayed beside Luo who took a deep breath from time to time, and his brain came in handy, but thousands of questions flashed in an instant.

This is the hour!

It is estimated that it is only the dawn of the end of the year, and even the lights are still on in the homes of the surrounding villagers, how dare these thieves touch the door.

Rao is a thief to do work also pay attention to a day and night, or step on the morning clear, or run the lights, are the dead of night, usually people are sleeping Chenguang to start, how can there be this Chenguang to do the reason.

And although Hua Jiao and his brothers and sisters guessed that they were going to be hard, they didn't expect them to be so hard, and they seemed to want to attack directly.

Hua Jiao's heart was pounding and jumping, so in this way, what kind of preparations did they make to have the confidence to attack like this.

There was a sound of footsteps outside, and Lilac jumped out with a stride, and soon turned back and told everyone, "It's my father here." ”

As soon as the words fell, Qin Lianhu had already entered the house to make a move, with a sincere expression.

But there was no trace of Daddy Qin, and just as he wanted to speak, Daddy Qin, who had not been seen for a long time, had already come out of the Western Room.

Qin Lianhu suddenly looked at the light on Xijijian, and his expression hesitated, but he quickly made up his mind, lowered his voice, and told everyone about the situation they judged at the moment.

Because the boys were conducting a drill and a siege battle, even though there were always more than 20 people present at the middle and lower levels of the fort wall, they did not use lanterns or torches for lighting.

And because of the season today, the night is as dark as ink, and the night vision can be described as bad, and there is no way to detect the movement on the fort wall outside, in fact, even if people stand on the fort wall, they are very slow to the movement around them.

But I can't stand it, and the family has already sensed the enemy's dynamics, or the enemy's code. And with this little bit of clues, although the old and young masters of the Qin family did not judge well, Master Chen, who had been floating and sinking on the rivers and lakes for one or two decades, had certain reconnaissance methods.

Don't forget, he was able to get married to the Qin family in the first place because he was sent to protect the Qin family. And Qin Lianbiao's group of thieves would hug their heads and run away back then, which was also due to the rich experience of Master Chen's four people.

After Master Chen conducted a series of perceptions assisted by the five senses, he probably had already come to the judgment that there was indeed an enemy situation.

However, there are only a limited number of people, no more than three people, and it is likely that they are only early sentinels.

For this conclusion, the old and young masters of the Qin family all agreed. But what to do next, there are different opinions.

Master Chen and Qin Lianhu both wanted to capture the sentry spies in order to obtain more detailed information. Qin Lianxiong and Qin Lianlong were unwilling to startle the snake, hoping to be able to wait for work and wipe out the enemy.

Since this is the case, they pinned their hopes on Father Qin and wanted to hear the old man's opinion.

When Qin Lianhu opened his mouth, there was already a pin drop in the room.

Everyone's eyes looked at Daddy Qin, but Daddy Qin didn't hesitate, and only asked Qin Lianhu: "Are you sure to capture the sentry detective?" ”

Qin Lianhu nodded: "Master Chen has already come up with a plan, and he is eighty percent sure." ”

Father Qin followed with a bow, and immediately decided: "Then capture the sentry agent." As he spoke, he stood up: "I'll go with you." He turned to look at Mrs. Qin again, and explained to her: "Do what we said before!" ”

Qin Lao Niang nodded slowly, took a deep breath, and her voice was indescribably calm: "I know." ”

Seeing Father Qin leave, Yao stepped forward and grabbed Qin Lao Niang's arm, Qin Lao Niang patted the back of her hand and said in a low voice: "Let's hurry up, there are still many things to do." ”

Yao nodded silently.

There were indeed a lot of things to do, everyone moved, and Hua Jiao followed Luo back to his home. Without even taking a breath, he was busy packing up the soft and transporting it to the cellar.

Chenguang of the old house before the head of the family built a cellar, and Chenguang, who renovated the house, naturally did not forget the cellar.

did not let outsiders know that this cellar was completed one after another by Father Qin and the brothers of the Qin family.

The entrance is in the west room of the main house of Qin's father and Qin's mother, and the corner covered by sundries is not paved with glutinous rice juice, and five layers of green bricks are continuously pried open to reveal a hole, which is roughly customized according to the figure of Qin Lianxiong, the most burly person in the family, and it is just enough to accommodate a bag of grain to enter and exit smoothly.

Father Qin had already come over to remove the debris above, opened the hole, drained some of the turbidity in the cellar, and had already gone down to check whether there was any hidden danger of collapse, and whether there was anything that should not be there.

The pepper cleaned up the soft in the house of his brothers in the east wing, and came to the cellar, and by candlelight, along the steps made of green bricks, together with the cloves, the ants moved down to the elders to do a good job, and stacked them directly on the steps of the hole.

Compared with the cellar before his own house, the newly built cellar, although it is still a square structure under the upper dome beam, except for the steps, are all poured with glutinous rice juice, which is tightly seamed and will not be broken for a hundred years. However, it is connected by tunnels, and there are as many as five rooms.

At this time, there were already more than 20 air cages in a room, that is, cylindrical bamboo cages made of bamboo strips, about two feet in diameter, up to one zhang, and slightly larger at the base, so that they could not be toppled after being erected, and were specially used to store grain.

Basically, it can be done that the Tibetan rice will not be damaged for four or five years, and the Tibetan grain will not be damaged for eight or nine years.

And the hundreds of stone grains that the Qin family has accumulated over the years are basically here.

In the other room, there were already five large boxes, and the peppercorns probably knew what they were all about, so they were not surprised or curious.

And these days, the Guo family, who has not slept peacefully, was stunned after coming down with the Zuo family.

They are still worried, have they reached the point of cleaning up? The whole person was trembling, and he couldn't fight a single burden. But when I got to the entrance of the cave, after walking down more than 30 steps, I looked at the cellar in front of me, and after being shocked, I finally settled down......

After tidying up, the heads of each room in the house responded to Mrs. Qin's words, turned off the lights one after another, and came to the main room to guard silently.

As time passed, Lilac soon couldn't sit still, and wanted to go forward, but she didn't want the elders who had already grabbed a heart to worry about her anymore.

I could only stand and wander back and forth under the porch, but until the rooster crowed over and over again, there was always silence in front of me, and no movement came......
