"Hurry up, the stones follow, and the wooden piers continue to split!" Huo Mu looked at the bandits on the line, they were repelled again and again, and the soldiers on the city wall were tired enough, one or two stones were nothing, but throwing down seven or eight pieces in a minute, even this group of well-trained soldiers was tired enough at the moment.

"The rear barracks reserve, go up, and the middle barracks retreat to rest!" Huo Miao ordered again, although it was said that because of the defense of the city, the bandits had not been able to rush to the city wall, but there was no loss, but the fatigue of the soldiers was also a huge problem, and he could not wait until the soldiers were completely tired and then replaced, after all, if the bandits rushed up, if they had no strength, they would have to wait for death.

After 1,500 people from the rear barracks replaced the middle barracks, the stones and wooden piers that had been thrown down regained their oppressive speed. However, Huo Miao also quickly noticed one thing, that is, more and more stones and wooden piers were thrown down, and they had accumulated a height of nearly two meters, which was already a very dangerous height for a city wall of only about seven meters.

"Huo Mu, it's not a way to go on like this, if it doesn't work, let them come up, if they go down again, when they can directly climb the city wall, it will be more difficult to guard!" Delong also discovered this problem, so he couldn't help but come to Huo Miao and propose.

Huo Miao was also helpless, if it weren't for the fact that the city wall was made of wood, now only a few torches would be needed to throw it down, at least let the bandits be helpless for a few hours, and then they would have more time to prepare more defensive items.

Huo Miao and Delong here have a headache, and the bandits over there are also impatient, after all, the first echelon of 5,000 people has not set off a single wave, and they have already lost seventy percent, and they have no morale, and they would rather pretend to be dead or injured than attack the city again.

"Hu Shouyi, let's attack it by fire, it's just a former village, as long as we can destroy this group of officers and soldiers, it's a big deal that we will stay and help you rebuild the front village!" One of the leaders of the bandits looked at Hu Shouyi irritable and said, if it weren't for Hu Shouyi's disagreement before, they wouldn't have sent troops to attack the city at all, just pile up firewood and go down with fire, it's easy and simple.

Hu Shouyi looked at the uninjured officers and soldiers, his face was also solemn, he didn't understand, why the big leader hadn't conquered Zhongzhai yet, after all, the cottage was used externally, and internally, it was almost defenseless, as long as the big leader led people to rush out, the officers and soldiers who divided the troops couldn't stop the big leader's tens of thousands of troops at all.

In particular, Hu Shouyi knows the martial arts of the big leader, it is definitely a person blocking and killing, and the Buddha blocking and killing the Buddha, even if the officers and soldiers can organize a front, as long as the big leader leads people to rush, they can easily tear up the battle formation, and then tens of thousands of troops can solve any enemy with a charge.

Therefore, Hu Shouyi resolutely disagreed with the fire attack on Qianzhai, he believed that as long as the army of the big leader arrived, this group of officers and soldiers would be powerless, but now the big leader he had been waiting for for a long time had not arrived, and this group of reinforcements, although they were threatened, but now they have lost 5,000 troops, although they are the second-hand leaders of the Qifeng thieves, it is no longer enough to suppress them.

"Hu Shouyi, could it be that you Qi Fengshan plans to use the hands of officers and soldiers to consume our forces?" Seeing that Hu Shouyi didn't speak, the leader directly sharpened the question, and at the moment of this sentence, even Hu Shouyi's face changed, because once this crime was confirmed, he Hu Shouyi was afraid that the group of mountain bandits present would immediately be crushed.

"Alright, Fire Attack! However, Zhongzhai is not allowed to attack with fire no matter what, otherwise, I will not be able to explain to the big leader! Moreover, if the big leader knew that in order to reduce the losses, you would also be angry when you burned down the two cottages in my Qifeng Mountain! Hu Shouyi gritted his teeth, he knew that it was imperative to use a Qianzhai to calm the suspicion of this group of mountain roads, and at the same time he also wanted to see what was wrong with the big leader, as long as he arrived in Zhongzhai, everything would be clear.

With Hu Shouyi's nod, the bandit leaders suddenly showed a hint of relief on their faces, and then recalled the siege troops, and at the same time began to collect dry branches around the city.

The mountain bandits suddenly retreated halfway through the siege, leaving Huo Miao and Delong, who were about to give up defending the city with stones and wooden piers, a little confused.

"Huo Miao, what are these guys going to do, shouldn't they be scared and dare not go up!" Delong looked at the mountain bandits thousands of kilometers away and asked strangely.

"I don't know, but the siege of the city is indeed killing and injuring a lot of mountain bandits, after all, these mountain bandits are reinforcements, and they are not the descendants of Qifeng Mountain, they are scared, and it is reasonable that they dare not attack!" Huo Miao covered his eyebrows with one hand, asking the king and the mountain bandits, and said uncertainly in his heart.

"Why don't you order the scouts to check it out?" DeLong suggested.

"Forget it, let the scouts check it now, isn't it sent to death, if Ren Hang's kid knows, why do you have his scout team to do something to send him to death, I guarantee that I will give him a look!" Huo Mu shook his head and said.

After waiting for about ten minutes, the mountain bandits on the opposite side did not have the slightest intention of retreating, but were in chaos, Huo Miao suddenly said in surprise: "It's not good, this group of guys, they want to attack with fire, why are they a wooden city wall after all, once they attack with fire, why can't they hold the front village!" ”

"No, it takes a lot of time to build a front village, and those mountain bandits really have the courage!" Delong said with some skepticism.

"If the people of Qifeng Mountain are naturally reluctant, but don't forget, there is only a group of reinforcements outside, a coalition of more than a dozen mountain bandits, they have lost so many troops, they are also afraid, they can burn down the front village with a fire, they are not willing to fill it with human lives!" Huo Miao said again.

Delong was silent, because if it were his words, he would not cherish other people's things, after all, his own soldiers are his own, and using his own soldiers to protect other people's things is a manifestation of brain water.

"The Chinese military camp immediately went to collect water sources, and once the enemy ignited a fire, immediately destroy me!" After Huo Miao thought of the other party's plan, he immediately made the Chinese military camp that was resting busy, and buckets of water were drawn from the well and quickly transported to the city wall.

It's a pity that although Huo Miao thought of this, but unfortunately, there are too few utensils that can hold water, even if a lot of manpower is mobilized to transport all the utensils to the city wall, once the fire below rises, these water still can't extinguish the fire.

"Hey, I'm sorry Lord, Lord handed over the front village to me, but I can't keep it!" Huo Miu said with a gloomy face, the first time he was in power, he was originally full of confidence, but finally faced this dilemma, let out an unwilling sigh.

"Huo Miao, the Lord won't blame you, you have done a good job, in this battle, why did they kill and wound at least five thousand bandits, but they themselves were intact, even if they lost this front village, why do they also have a middle village, even if this group of mountain bandits, if they don't take the cottage of Qifeng Mountain as a bad thing, the people of Qifeng Mountain will definitely not allow them to burn two villages in a row!" Delong knew in his heart that this time it was not Huo Miu's command that had a problem, and even he could see the problem in advance, but unfortunately, even if he thought of it, but the conditions were limited, and he was helpless.

"Hey, give an order, let everyone prepare to evacuate the city wall, once the fire under the city wall cannot be extinguished, retreat immediately, order the rear military camp to the palace, Delong, you take the cavalry battalion and the middle army camp to Zhongzhai first, I will take the people from the rear military camp to ambush on the way to see if I can hit the mountain bandits hard!" Huo Miao was still unwilling to retreat like this after all, if he couldn't hit the bandits hard, he always felt that he couldn't fulfill the Lord's request.

When Delong heard this, his brows furrowed, and then he said: "Huo Miu, I think that Ling Yi scout will report to the master, and I will also bring the cavalry battalion and the middle military battalion to assist you, I believe that with 4,000 people, if you are surprised, you should be able to hit this group of bandits hard!" In this way, even if you lose the front village, it is very cost-effective to hit them hard in exchange! ”

"However, the Lord has not heard from the Lord for so long, and I don't know if the plan has succeeded!" Huo Miao was a little worried about the situation on Chen He's side, so he had the idea of letting Delong lead the team back, so that Chen He could not only know about the affairs of Qianzhai, but also give Chen He more strength around him in case of something.

"Huo Miao, think about why when they faced the Lord, they had a much greater advantage over the Lord's Phoenix Thieves than the Lord now, so don't worry about staying, how to hit the group of mountain bandits in front of you is the most important problem you need to consider!" Delong is full of confidence in Chen He.

Huo Miao thought about it, it was indeed a truth, not to mention that when it came to calling, the boss Mok was still there, and there was no message from the Lord, in fact, it was the best news, if there was a problem on the Lord's side, he would inevitably tell himself, whether it was assistance or other arrangements.

"Okay, I think so, although it is said that the front village is set on fire on the other side, but how to say it, the front village is also built by Qifeng thieves with a lot of financial resources and manpower, if possible, they will definitely minimize the loss!

If, together, the fire is extinguished, and if it can't be extinguished, retreat, and once the other side finds that they have left the city wall, then the people of the Qifeng thieves will definitely urge the mountain bandits to come over to extinguish the fire, and it is not a little bit to be able to save a little!

And this fire is easy to ignite, but it is difficult to extinguish, so after they open a passage, ninety percent of them may leave some people to continue to extinguish the fire, and then the large army chases them to Zhongzhai! I estimate that the number of people is about 20,000, so this gives them a chance, they would never have imagined that they would ambush them on the way, so it must be a hasty march!

When the time comes, you can turn around and kill back in a cone formation, so that the elite soldiers can cooperate with you as the tip of the cone, and defeat this group of mountain bandits in one fell swoop. ”

After Huo Mu finished speaking, he looked at Delong, hoping to get Delong's opinion, but after Delong listened, he said directly: "Okay, you are the main general, everything is up to you, don't worry, I may be almost good at using my brain, but I will definitely not have the slightest cowardice, and since the Lord appointed you as the main general, he naturally trusts your judgment!" ”
