Jiang Cai's people were some distance away from the county seat, and in order not to be discovered, they almost went to the limit distance of the clairvoyant, and in Jiang Cai's sight, only a vague outline was left in the county seat, and even the defenders on the city wall could not be seen.

Not only the brothers below, but even Shi Zhong felt that his boss was too cautious this time, and the front was full of fields, and it was impossible for thieves to search here.

Jiang Cai ignored them, and didn't want to explain to them, he knew what Liu Yu wanted, and he did not hesitate to sacrifice the interests of the common people for this, if he fell short because he was discovered early by thieves, it would be too worthless, so he could be more conservative.

However, more than 1,000 horses have spent a night in the field, all of them are veterans who have experienced the battle of Jiankang, and no one complains that they are tired, but there is a faint sense of excitement. Jiang Cai wants this, before becoming a veteran oil, this is the best quality of being a soldier, and he is brave and courageous in his meritorious service.

"The thieves seem to have come up."

Shi Zhong's voice sounded in his ears, he didn't need to be reminded, he also saw the situation in the distance, the black crowd coming from the direction of the coast was just a moving black shadow in the shot, and no one could guess how many people there were.

Liu Yu on the city tower put down the binoculars, the thieves had already walked to the city, and they could see it clearly with the naked eye, they came forward in groups, and when they reached the range of the bow and arrow, they stood still. Groups of three or five pointed to the city and talked and laughed, it seems? It's to attack the city, but to watch the show.

And behind, a steady stream of thieves poured up, dressed in different costumes, and the weapons in their hands were also varied, everything. Liu Yu felt a little ashamed, as a traverser, he was actually forced into the city by a group of rabble, and he didn't know if he would be scolded to death if he said it.

"How many do you think they have?"

He walked to the side of the county Cheng, patted him on the shoulder and said, the county was frightened by him, and when he turned his head to look, his face was pale.

"The lower officials can count it, but I'm afraid it will cost tens of thousands."

The thieves under the city gathered more and more, all blocked in the direction of the main gate, so many people stood together, even if there was no formation, but the number alone was already very scary, and the guards looked also bad, all of them looked down with tense faces.

Million? Tens of thousands of good, there are few, how can it be worthy of his own arrangement, the county will naturally not think like him, the number of thieves outside is too large, and it has exceeded the peak of the cliff thieves. And this Qiongshan county town is not tall, his confidence was lost all of a sudden, his legs and feet began to fight, and his hands unconsciously supported the battlements.

"Don't be afraid, just delay for a moment and a half, and the reinforcements will arrive."

Liu Yu is full of confidence in Jiang Cai's combat power, on this flat ground, with such a team, it is impossible to block the impact of more than 1,000 horsemen, but after they are scattered, they cannot be surrounded and annihilated, and it will take a lot of effort, but that is also after the war.

For his words, the county is still willing to believe it, because the other party's grade is too high, and it is not something he can get at all, there is no need to lie to him, and more importantly, he is not the chief official here, so there is no need to stand on the city wall with him.

"The lower officials should do their best."

After saying this, the county Cheng seemed to regain some strength, and began to go to the various sections of the city wall to cheer up the defenders, there were only more than 2,000 people on the city wall, in addition to the newly recruited part, there were also the officials and villagers in the city, in contrast, the latter because of the siege of the cliff thieves, but more calm than the recruits.

In fact, the biggest problem in defending the city is neither the number of soldiers, nor the quality of weapons, or even the reserve of food, but whether there is hope.

Hearing that reinforcements would arrive, the defenders increased their morale somewhat, and they began to prepare to defend the city according to the command of their respective commanders.

Fortunately, the thieves outside are far inferior to the Tartars, so let's take it as a draw, Liu Yu stared at the movements of the enemies under the city, and found that they did not prepare ladders and other things, and I don't know if they will be lifted out from behind. At this moment, from the crowd of thieves, a burst of cheers suddenly erupted, and one after another spread to the city, causing the defenders to look sideways, not knowing what was happening.

"Send someone to ask, they are willing to surrender in Kaesong, if they open the city, they will not kill people, only take money, otherwise the chickens and dogs will not stay!"

The head of the stall walked to the middle of the formation with his cronies, listened to the cheers of his subordinates with satisfaction, and took advantage of the high morale, he planned to salute first and then soldiers, and if he knew each other in the city, he would not have to kill himself.

Following his order, a thief staggered to the vicinity of the city gate, this person was quite bold, not afraid of the soldiers in the city, and repeated the words with a loud voice, which made Liu Yu secretly amused.

"Childish Slave"

shouted out, only to suddenly realize that little Lori was not around, and patted the nearest guard casually, pointing to the people in the city and saying.

"Can you shoot him?"

"Try the small ones."

It can be seen that this recruit is probably shooting a live person for the first time, the mulberry bow trembled slightly in his hand, and as soon as the arrow went out, Liu Yu knew that he couldn't hit it, because the strength was wrong, he had heard the arrow shot by Xiao Loli countless times, and knew what kind of sound it should be.

"Haha!"

The defenders of the city laughed loudly as they watched the man run back in fright, and this episode somewhat diluted their nervousness, and no one would think that the recruit had missed his hand, and that it was all deliberate.

"Hmph, if you don't eat and drink in a toast, you have to wonder so."

I had already seen what was happening in the back, and the big stall let out a sound from my nose, there was no way, either attack hard or retreat, is there still a choice now?

"Dick!"

"Yes."

"You lead people from the front."

The second child replied, this is also the proper meaning, his headquarters is the strongest, so he naturally has to attract firepower in the front, otherwise how can he convince the public.

"You and others are responsible for one side, wait for the signal to sound, and go to the city together, those who break the city first can get one more share, and those who are not effective, the income belongs to others, can you hear clearly?"

The rewards and punishments are clear, naturally no one doubts, several big leaders took orders to go, and moved in all directions with their headquarters, gradually surrounding the entire Qiongshan County.

Liu Yu watched them act on the city wall, the thieves were not stupid, they knew that the soldiers were attacking in four ways, but looking left and right, they couldn't see what they were doing to attack the city, did they rely on people? It's like a stacked arhat who plays acrobatics.

I don't know how long it took, when the defenders in the city, including Liu Yu, were waiting a little impatiently, a sharp whistle suddenly sounded in the formation of the thieves in front of him, and the sound flew higher and higher, straight into the clouds, and it turned out to be a ringing arrow.

Immediately afterwards, the same howl sounded from the city gates everywhere, and the defenders were in high spirits, knowing that the siege of the thieves was about to begin, Liu Yu also concentrated and stared at the city.

Immediately the enemy formation began to move, a group of thieves shouted and rushed up, the strange thing is that the first group of people had empty hands, not only did not have siege equipment, but also did not take a weapon, what kind of trouble are they going to make? Just when Liu Yu was puzzled, he suddenly noticed the things on their backs.

"How high is this wall?"

Liu Yu dragged the county man over and asked anxiously.

"More than two zhang, three zhang is insufficient, what's wrong?"

Seeing that his face suddenly changed, the county Cheng asked suspiciously, Liu Yu was extremely depressed when he heard it, but he didn't expect to calculate everything, but he missed the things in front of him! Suddenly, he felt that things were not as simple as he expected, damn, the gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, tell you to pretend to be forced, this time it is impossible to advance or retreat.

"Ahh

With a low cry, Jing Niang frowned in pain, her fingers were pricked by rusty needles, and a drop of blood flowed down and fell onto the unfinished fabric.

Somehow, at this moment, her spirit was in a trance, as if she thought of something bad, and stayed there in a daze, and Tingchao, who was cleaning in the room, heard it and hurried over.

"Lady, your hand is bleeding."

"Leave me alone, let's see if it's dirty."

Jing Niang, who came back to her senses, didn't care about her hands, but noticed the blood stains on the fabric, the piece on her hand was a light-colored dark pattern, such a blood stain was too conspicuous, I don't know if I could get rid of it.

"It doesn't matter, if you can't wash it off, just embroider a flower bone like this."

Tingchao took an ink pen and sketched a few strokes on that piece, and a budding lotus flower appeared in shape, Jing Niang looked left and right, it was indeed seamless, and then she put her mind at ease.

"Lady, why don't you rest and let the slave finish the embroidery for you?"

"No need, you draw the lines, and I'll finish the embroidery in a while."

Unable to resist Jing Niang's insistence, Tingchao had to take the fabric and help her design the flower shape nearby, Jing Niang's pain was almost gone, she wrapped a piece of cloth in her hand, stood up and moved her somewhat sore waist.

"You're really at home."

The door curtain was suddenly opened, and a figure flashed in quickly and quickly, hearing the voice, Jing Niang smiled slightly, since arriving in the capital, the two met for the first time, she was difficult to get out of the door once, and the one who had never been to the door for some reason.

"I'll take a look at you, and see what's interesting by the way."

Being stared at by Jing Niang so silently, the pheasant slave, who had always been bold and rough-hearted, had a knotted tongue, and then looked around pretending to be calm, and suddenly found two things in the corner.

"Let me tell you, there's something new."

"Put it down and go outside and get some food."

Jing Niang ignored her defense, but turned around and ordered, listened to Chao Zhizhi agreed, got up and walked towards the front.

"You don't need to use too much force for this thing, as long as the wheels turn up, I have to pedal for a quarter of an hour a day, and I have to sweat all over my body every time, but you have a lot of strength, so you have to save a little bit when you look at it."

The pheasant slave is actually very smart, as soon as she sees the shape, she almost understands how to do it, more than a dozen laps of kicking down, in fact, she didn't use much strength, but she didn't come for this today, after playing, she was a little disgusted, Jing Niang quietly accompanied her, wanting to see how long she could endure it.

"Don't you feel bored at home every day?"

Sitting on the high car mat, the pheasant slave stopped the movement of his feet,

"Don't feel bored when you have something to do."

Jing Niang said with a smile.

"That's that"

For a while, the pheasant slave didn't know what else to ask, she was not good at such things at all, she was always straightforward.

"I don't know where he went, and I don't know when he will return, to be honest, just now, I suddenly thought of him, and I saw blood, I don't know if it's evil or lucky, I'm uneasy, but fortunately you're here." R1292
