Hai'an, Qutang and Baimi were the earliest, and most of them had investigated smuggling salt with Han Xiufeng in the first month, and had done it with real knives and guns. I came with the intention of making a fortune, so I wasn't particularly scared when I was guarding the wall, but I was a little nervous.

Jiang Yan and Jiaoxian two regiments were only trained a few days ago, although they had never been on the battlefield to kill people, but they were not very scared in the morning, after all, there were so many people, and there were strong camps to defend. The bandits were not very scared when they first attacked the camp, and there were more guns and shotguns in the camp than the bandits, and at the beginning they pressed the bandits to fight. When the bandits rushed up the ladder to the top of the wall, they didn't care about being afraid, they just knew how to fight desperately.

Now the bandits have retreated, and are busy collecting wood to build ladders and other siege equipment, and will attack again when everything is ready. They stood at the top of the wall and looked at the busy bandits in the distance, and then looked back at the dozens of corpses parked in the camp, listening to the painful moans of the wounded brothers, and suddenly they were afraid to die.

Han Xiufeng was anxious in his eyes when he saw their soulless appearance, but it was not so easy to get up again when his morale was discouraged, and then he looked back at the bandits outside the camp, took a deep breath and climbed down the ladder, walked quickly to Liang Liu and Liang Jiu and asked, "How are the brothers who didn't guard the wall at noon?" ”

Liang Liu went to the wall at noon, but he was not guarding the south wall, so he had no chance to fight with the bandits.

Liang Jiu didn't go up to the wall at noon, and as soon as he mentioned this, he said eagerly: "Master Han, you personally guard the wall, but let us be below, you said that we don't have the heart to rest, wait a while, you replace the head of the storage team, let us go and guard the south wall!" ”

Han Xiufeng patted him on the shoulder, stared at him and said, "I didn't let you go up at noon because I couldn't press all the people up." Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, I will use you soon, but this errand is dangerous and ruthless! ”

"What errand?" Liang Jiu asked subconsciously.

"I stared at the bandits with my 'clairvoyance' on the arrow tower for nearly an hour, and found that the bandits were not only building ladders, but also dismantling several ships, as if they were building siege towers. It's a shelf about the height of our wall, and people stand on it, and when they attack again, they push the shelf in front of us, and their people can go up the wall from the shelf. Han Xiufeng paused, and then said, "If we want to defend the camp, we have to destroy the siege equipment they have built. ”

"Master Han, I'll take the brothers out of the camp, kill them by surprise, and destroy the things they have built!"

"There are only about 200 of you, and there are more than 2,000 bandits."

"Don't be afraid, Master Han, we're not afraid!"

"Master Han, count me in, I'll go with Lao Jiu!" Liang Liu said eagerly.

At the critical moment, they were still reliable, Han Xiufeng patted the two of them on the arm, and then turned around and said: "You guys prepare first, put on iron helmets, and exchange as many cotton armor as there are for as many cotton armor as there are." I will ask Master Li to help you prepare for the fire oil and other things that cause fire, and then you will kill them when the bandits are about to attack in front of the trench. ”

"Yes!"

"Wait until I'm done." Han Xiufeng took a deep breath and continued: "After you leave the camp, you rush along the trench as much as possible, don't be too far away from the trench, when the time comes, I will let the spear team, the fast gun team and the shotgun team cover you, too far away from the trench is easy to be injured by mistake." ”

"I know, Master Xie Han is compassionate."

Han Xiufeng nodded slightly, and said: "Then as soon as you leave the camp, I will let the things guarding the east wall put away the drawbridge, and you will kill along the trench to the south wall, and then rush from the south wall to the west wall." The heel of the west wall is very narrow, and after you run to the heel of the west wall, you only need to leave a few people behind the palace. If it's too crowded, and the bandits are chasing you too quickly, jump into the river, in short, just destroy the bandits' siege equipment, and don't fall in love. ”

"Okay, we know it."

"It's good to have a number, let's go and prepare."

Thinking that it would be good for them to come back half after leaving the camp, Han Xiufeng felt very uncomfortable, and patted the arms of the two again, at this time, Zhang Yiguo, who was guarding the arrow tower, suddenly shouted: "Master Han, Master Han, bandits...... The bandits are retreating, and it seems that the bandits are not going to attack again! ”

"What?"

"You'll know when you come up and see, they'...... They're really withdrawing! ”

Han Xiufeng couldn't believe his ears, and hurriedly ran over and climbed up the arrow tower. As Zhang Yiguo said, the group of thieves from the Fairy Temple are really retreating south. Liu Jinchang's troops, who came from the west bank, only left six or seven hundred people to guard the ferry, and the others actually divided into several small groups and went to the surrounding villages.

Zhang Guangcheng and Zhou Xingyuan also climbed up, leaned on the guardrail and looked at it for a while, and asked puzzledly: "Brother Han, do you think this is a trick of the bandits?" ”

Han Xiufeng took the "clairvoyance" from Zhang Yiguo's hand, and muttered while adjusting the focus: "We are stubbornly defending in the camp to respond to all changes, what tricks can they use?" ”

Zhang Yiguo muttered: "Could it be that there is something wrong with the fairy temple, and they are in a hurry to go back for reinforcements?" ”

Without waiting for Han Xiufeng to speak, Zhou Xingyuan blurted out: "What can happen to the Fairy Temple, even if there is an accident, Liu Jinchang should also follow him to the Fairy Temple." How can there be a reason that people help him when there is something on his side, and he doesn't help when someone else has something to do. ”

Han Xiufeng put down his "clairvoyance" and looked back at the crowd: "When they came at noon, they didn't bring grain and grass, and as soon as they came ashore, they came to attack our camp, at least Liu Jinchang, a group of bandits, seems to have gone to the surrounding villages to grab grain." ”

"Really," Zhang Yiguo thought about it and said: "No, the one who came from the Fairy Temple left, and he divided his troops to grab grain, leaving six or seven hundred people to guard the ferry, and he Liu Jinchang was not afraid that we would defend and attack?" ”

Zhang Guangcheng reacted: "Brother Han, Brother Zhang's words make sense, this may be really a trick." He didn't have as many guns as us, and he knew that he wouldn't be able to capture it for a while, and even if he could, he would suffer heavy casualties, so he wanted to trick us into leaving the camp. ”

"There is this possibility, but the group of bandits from the Fairy Temple are going farther and farther, if we go out of the camp to attack and kill, will it be too late for them to come back to help?" Han Xiufeng handed the "clairvoyance" to Zhou Xingyuan, and said with a wry smile: "What's more, he must know that we only dare to defend but not attack, let alone only a thousand people when we leave the camp, even if there are more than a thousand, they are not their opponents." ”

"So they really want to go?"

"Regardless of them, we will still respond to all changes."

Zhang Yiguo wanted to avenge Zhu Zhanao, and couldn't help but say: "But it's a pity to miss such a good opportunity." ”

Han Xiufeng didn't want to joke with the lives of his subordinates, let alone lose his own life, so he said without thinking: "Our battalion will not be able to defend the camp and defend the city for a short time, and we will not be their opponents in the field, even if they really want to leave, we can only watch." ”

"Yes, it's not easy to hold on, so you don't have to take that risk." Zhang Guangcheng thought so.
