Chapter 324: Tonight, the demons and monsters appear in their original form

Failure to do what the enemy speculates is called doing the opposite.

Instead of making a posture to protect the granary, Li Qi summoned 2,000 soldiers dressed as civilians to attack the granary, so the people in the granary were all stunned for a while.

These soldiers did not carry serious weapons, and carried a mess of things in their hands, including iron forks, clubs, and even large iron spoons, and even worse, they probably did not find the right thing, and they came with a pair of cymbals, and patted them as they went, which showed what kind of industry they should be engaged in at home.

It's mostly a white thing.

"Divide the grain!"

"Divide the grain!"

"Divide the grain!"

These people gathered at the gate of the granary and shouted loudly, but deliberately kept out of the range of the defenders' bows and arrows, and at first they only surrounded and did not attack, but kept shouting the slogan of distributing the grain.

Gao Shengda climbed the fence and shouted: "You all hear me clearly, storming the granary is a capital crime!" It's a capital offense of raiding a house! If you don't retreat, don't blame me for giving the order to release the arrows!" ”

In the crowd, a Wupin general glanced back at Li Qi, and when he saw Li Qi standing in the distance, he took out the repeater hidden under his robe, and slowly moved forward in the crowd, whispering to his subordinates to squeeze forward as he walked.

Li Qi explained that if Gao Shengda did not appear, then the people in the granary might directly release arrows to force them back, and if Gao Shengda appeared, it would mean that he did not plan to directly shoot the people who surrounded the granary, so he could continue to press.

So the soldiers began to step forward, shouting loudly as they went.

On the wall, Gao Shengda saw that these people had reached a distance of about ten zhang, and knew that he couldn't let them get close anymore, so he shouted loudly.

"Archer!"

The soldiers on the wall began to raise their bows and aim at the people outside, and those who pressed forward immediately stopped.

"We have no food to eat, open a warehouse and distribute grain!"

"Open the granary and give to the people!"

"Open a warehouse and distribute grain!"

The soldiers shouted with great effort, Li Qi had already explained, there was no order not to really storm the granary, in that case there would inevitably be losses, waiting for the signal to act.

And that Wupin general is also Prince Yu's helper left by Xiahou Zhuo, he was originally a close confidant of Zeng Ling, the envoy of Jiedu, originally did not have the rank of general, but Prince Yu led the army to leave before he was promoted to general, and he was also transferred from the secret to the light.

His name is Jinpaw.

The pawn hid in the crowd, glanced at the distance, about ten zhang, and it was not difficult to hit the crossbow.

With the help of his men, he raised his crossbow in the crowd and fired several shots at Gao Shengda on the wall.

Several crossbow arrows suddenly flew over, and Gao Shengda didn't notice it at all, and the shouts of the people outside were too loud, blocking the sound of the repeaters......

Gao Shengda is a civil official, and his martial arts are already ordinary, and he was hit by several crossbow arrows without defense, but fortunately he wore armor and heart shields under his official uniform, and the crossbow arrow that hit his heart was blocked by the heart guards, making a crisp sound.

But Gao Shengda was not wearing full armor, and his lower abdomen was drilled into by a crossbow arrow, and he immediately fell backwards.

"Everyone, come on."

The crowd shouted, and the people behind began to light the torches that had been prepared long ago and threw them into the wall, and at this time all the people in the granary exploded, and they hurried to extinguish the torches.

The people behind passed the shields they had prepared forward, and used their shields to block the feathered arrows on the wall.

In the distance, Yu Jiuling's heart trembled when he saw it.

"Li Dadiu, you don't really plan to burn down the granary, so many torches are thrown inside, if it ignites, the people in the city will definitely be in chaos."

Li Qi smiled: "I have entered the granary before, carefully looked at the location, and threw torches

It is impossible for the place to really ignite anything, it will just make the people in the granary panic, and they should send people out to bring rescuers. ”

Only then did Yu Jiuling understand that Li Qi and Jiang Ran entered the granary, not just to test Gao Shengda's attitude.

Li Qi went to see the terrain, which means that this guy has already planned what to do.

As soon as they saw that the people outside had shields in their hands, and the people who followed them began to pass on their weapons, the people in the granary knew that things were not easy.

Gao Shengda was injured and looked back at Cui Qing, Cui Qing's face was extremely ugly, he never expected the opponent to use this trick.

The granary is not to be lost for the Cui family, hundreds of thousands of Qingzhou troops outside the city need the food here, once the granary is really burned, not to mention that the Qingzhou army has no food to eat, the grain and grass will not last long, that is, the people in the city will rebel, and when the time comes, there will be a civil change, and this Jizhou city will become a ruin.

Li Qi bet on this, and bet that the Cui family cares more about Jizhou.

"Send men out, call back the troops carrying the grain, and attack these enemies from the outside."

Cui Qing pondered for a moment and then ordered.

He didn't think of a random solution, but he knew that the team carrying the grain didn't actually plan to attack the city gate, so it wasn't planned, it just made the enemy think that it would be like that.

His men went out from elsewhere and hurried to catch up with the grain caravan.

At this moment, the four grain transport teams have arrived in the four cities, they are carrying the grain down, before the car is unloaded, the granary messenger arrived, heard that the granary is besieged, the grain transport team people do not even want the cart, tell the defenders to unload the car, the granary has an accident, and then hurried back.

When they rushed back to the granary, they found that the besieging men had retreated, and it looked like a mess, but in fact there was no loss.

The countless torches thrown into the granary compound have been extinguished, which is a false alarm.

About a mile away from the granary, Li Qi and they looked at this side with clairvoyance from a high place.

"The people who enter are staring on all sides, and anyone who goes out will see them."

Li Qi said while looking at the direction of the granary: "The people of the Cui family may not be able to hold their breath, they will send someone to find the person in charge to discuss countermeasures, if no one is in a hurry, it means that the person in charge of the Cui family is in the granary." ”

Yu Jiuling asked, "The person who killed the steward?" ”

Li Qi nodded and said, "If someone comes, kill him before entering the granary, and if no one comes, then he won't want to go out again in the granary." ”

In the granary, Cui Qing walked back and forth with a blue face, he looked sideways at Gao Shengda and asked, "How is the injury?" ”

Gao Shengda said: "It shouldn't be a big deal, I've already taken medicine." ”

Cui Qing snorted and said: "They suddenly attacked the granary, it seems that they want to force the grain transport team back, so they still think that we will attack the city gate, and this person who designed it calculated the right time to pretend to besiege the granary and force the grain transport team back, and also let us lose the cart, so that there is no way to use the cart as a defense when attacking the city gate." ”

Gao Shengda said while thinking: "It seems that this is the case, they can't be sure whether we will attack the city gate, and they can't determine which city gate we will attack, so they use this method to force our people back, first, they can prevent us from seizing the city gate, and second, they want to trap our people in the granary, and they have already seen that we will not burn the grain." ”

Cui Qing nodded and said, "He's a smart person, but it's still not smart enough, they think we want to take the city gate?" Under heavy guards, it is not easy to capture the city...... If they think so, let them think that they have succeeded in their scheme. ”

Cui Qing continued: "Command people, strengthen the guards, and let the people outside see that we are ready to fight against the water, and in addition, don't send people out again......"

After breathing a sigh of relief, he swept towards the people around him and said in a heavy tone: "Everyone, I already said last night that if you want to achieve great things, you must sacrifice

Today is the time for us to sacrifice in exchange for the great business of the family. ”

"We may all die, and the enemy will send more troops to storm the granary if he knows who we are, and what we have to do is to hold on to this place until at least tomorrow morning."

"If any of us are lucky enough to survive until tomorrow, then we can see our army enter Jizhou, and we can see the Cui family's flag fluttering at the head of Jizhou City."

Cui Qing raised his voice and said loudly: "Today I live and die with you, I have decided not to send anyone to ask for reinforcements, if you are unwilling to fight with me, you can leave now." ”

"Fight to the death!"

The people of the Cui family raised their arms and shouted.

"Our family, for more than ten years of planning for this day, cannot afford to lose."

Cui Qing stretched out his hand and took a long knife over, and strode out: "The people of the family, seeing that we don't send people for help, will definitely understand our determination, and they will do their best to seize Jizhou, so if I die today, I should die before you." ”

After he finished speaking, he stepped onto the wall, and the people of the Cui family picked up their weapons and followed him, this battle, for them, is not only about their personal life and death, but also about the survival of the family.

Two hours later.

The people sent by the soldiers found Li Qi and told him that no one could break out of the granary, which showed that the people in the granary were ready to fight to the death.

After listening to this, Li Qi nodded and said: "Tell the general to attack, only do the offensive momentum, don't lose too many brothers' lives, just make a feint, the success or failure of victory or defeat is not here in the granary." ”

"Yes!"

The soldier answered, turned and ran.

Yu Jiuling also knew what Li Qi's plan was at this time, and he only then understood what Li Qi asked him to investigate had to do with the granary.

"It seems that tonight is the time for the Qingzhou Army to attack in a big way."

Yu Jiuling looked at Li Qi and said, "Do you want to inform Xiahou and the rival now?" ”

Li Qi said: "They all know and are ready, tonight will be a vicious battle, but it must not be the Qingzhou Army that wins, it must not be the Cui family." ”

Yu Jiuling was still a little worried, he hesitated for a moment and asked, "What if there is any accident?" ”

"There is no room for it."

Li Qi said: "The Cui family wants to seize Jizhou for many years, but I also want Jizhou, although I just want it for a long time, but since I want it, it can only be I want to ...... The difference is that the people of the Cui family are anxious and I am not in a hurry. ”

Li Qi turned around and went downstairs: "It's time to eat, I've eaten, and when it's dark, the old people say that the demons and monsters will show their original form after dark, I want to see if the person who is really in charge will show his original form after dark." ”

Yu Jiuling was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "If it will show its original form after dark, what if you also show its original form?" I've always suspected that you're a monster. ”

Li Qi shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "If I show my original form, it must be the biggest and most powerful kind of monster." ”

He just replied casually, but Yu Jiuling thought about it seriously, what is the biggest and most powerful monster in the world.

So his eyes were confused for a moment, and when Li Qi saw him like this, he asked with a smile: "Are you thinking about what the most powerful monster is, then what do you think is the most powerful monster?" ”

When Zhuang Wushu heard this, he couldn't help but think of the dragon in his mind.

Dragons are given supremacy, but in fact they are also youkai.

At this moment, Yu Jiuling also gave his answer categorically.

"Big horse monkey!"

Yu Jiuling said: "It must be the big horse monkey, when the old man scares the children, the big horse monkey is the most powerful." ”

Li Qi: "......"

Zhuang Wushu shook his fists and clenched his fists: "Beautiful!" ”
