Chapter 48: The Siege
The convivial atmosphere in the town of Huaishuo lasted only one night.
On the second day, when the sky was bright, the sound of gongs and drums sounded everywhere in the city, dense and intense, and the townsmen who hurriedly got up looked at each other through the windows, and saw a procession and a column of soldiers and horses rushing through the long street; The four doors are tightly closed and reinforced with iron locks and horizontal wood; All kinds of city defense equipment were erected at the head of the city, and the soldiers ran up and down non-stop. . .
Wei Kegu, comeback!
"It's coming so fast..." Yang Jun's eyebrows furrowed: "Could it be that the thieves were able to produce a large number of siege equipment overnight?" It doesn't make sense... ”
He Batduba shook his head: "Impossible! The six towns are located in the north of the Saibei, close to the Hanhai Sea, and there are few forests around, where does he go to get materials? What's more, in just one night, it's a big deal to get some simple ladders, and he can't make a car well. ”
As expected, Wei Kegu didn't plan to attack the city at all, relying on the large number of people, he simply sent troops from all sides to besiege the small Huaishuo Town. Then the thieves pressed the formation and drove many people here. For a time, the people in the city shouted and neighed, and the people who built the village built the village and dug the ditch were busy in full swing. This Wei Ke is lonely, and he is going to surround Huaishuo City for a long time!
Yang Jun took his hand and walked over to the city, but he was puzzled: "There is a lot of food in Huaishuo City, which is enough to keep it for a long time." On the other hand, the traitor only occupies the land of Fertile Town, and Wei Kegu can only have more soldiers and less food. It's just spring again, and he can't just eat in the wild... It's strange, Wei Kegu is not in a hurry to attack, but wants to consume it with me? ”
He Baduba was also puzzled, and said with a forced smile: "The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, Wei Kegu wants to besiege the city, then let him besiege it, I will be happy." Just hold on for a while, and when the imperial reinforcements come, the thieves will naturally collapse. ”
Yang Jun nodded: "That's the only way." ”
Today, Yuwen Qiu stood in the city all morning, and it was rare not to say a word. He was a little curious, and quietly asked, "Is the sheep really on his mind?" Why the silence? Yuwen Qiu sighed, his face was worried: "Why is this Wei Kegu so anxious?" Eh, if I knew this, I should have sent Ying'er back to Wuchuan last night... ”
。。。。。。
"Bow and arrow ready!" "Don't move the Rolling Stones, just come and stand up!" "Where's the fork hook? Where did the fork hook go? ”
At the head of Huaishuo City, the Wei army rushed around, glancing at the thief army approaching under the city from time to time. Looking at the chaos, in fact, if you look closely, there is no panic on the faces of the defenders, but they are just doing their jobs.
The thief army has been besieging the city for more than a month, and Wei Ke sent troops to attack every three forks and five times, but the three armies were not exhausted, and most of them were dispatched by small forces. At the beginning, the city was still nervous, and even the reserves were pulled up to the city, and as soon as the battle began, the arrows, arrows, wood, and stones were splashed down, and the thieves' heads were broken and bleeding, and they quickly retreated. If this is the case several times, the thieves will come in a hurry and leave in a hurry.
Gradually, the city got used to it, and felt that the thieves were not enough. Yang Jun was even more thoughtful: Can Mo Wei be alone and consume the ordnance of the city defense of my Huaishuo? Then the defenders were strictly ordered to fight again after seeing it, and not to waste arrows, arrows, wood and stones; He also ordered the armies to rest in turn to preserve their strength.
So the offensive and defensive battles that have been fought once every few days have become an unwritten agreement between the two sides--- the thief army roared in, the city absentmindedly shot a few arrows, and the thief army shouted and retreated... What followed was a few days of peace, and the two did not toss each other.
The city is bustling with you coming and going, and the city is not quiet. The townspeople were also familiar with the tone of the thief army's small fights, and when they were afraid, they all came out and walked around, and there was an ordinary market smell in Huaishuo City.
Today, Yuwen Hu's department took turns to rest, and after using the morning food, he called a group of children and nephews to chat. When the conversation was almost about to end, the curtain opened, and Yu Wenying ran out of the inner room.
It turned out that Yuwenying couldn't get out of the city, so she had to hide in the barracks and not come out, Yuwenqiu didn't know what she was still sulking, and she was not allowed to meet Pei Guo alone. For so many days, Yuwen Ying was originally a generous and cheerful bearded girl who was chasing eagles, and she had already been so depressed that she couldn't help it, so she had the courage to come over and beg her father: "Aya! I heard that the market in the city is reopening today, Ying'er thinks, Ying'er thinks... ”
Yuwen was stunned, and was about to reprimand, but saw his beloved daughter holding his arm, teary eyes, and pitiful... A heart suddenly softened, and the words came to his mouth and swallowed back, silent for a while.
Yu Wenhao hurriedly said: "My little sister hasn't been out for more than a month, and she always has to buy some of her daughter's belongings, so it's better ... Why don't you let me accompany her to the market? ”
"Get out of the way!" Yuwen was angry with his eldest son, and his eyes were glaring again. Yuwen Hao hurriedly retreated, Yuwen Lian, Yuwen Luosheng, and Yuwentai hung their heads together, where did they dare to speak?
I didn't want Yuwen Qiu's tone to slow down suddenly, and opened his mouth again: "There is some truth in what you said, since Ying'er is going, let's go." Yu Wenying was overjoyed: "Yes, yes, the best!" Yaye yes best! The mouth was coquettish, but his eyes had already drifted to Pei Guo.
How can Yuwen Qiu not look at it? snorted coldly, pointed his hand at Hou Mo Chen Yue, and his tone was unquestionable: "It's okay for Brother Ah Yue and Ah Chong to accompany Ying'er." A few of you, as well as Guo'er, will follow me to the school to perform martial arts! ”
As soon as these words came out, Yuwenying was full of joy and went to most of the place, and the brothers Yuwenying and Yuwentai all put their "pity" eyes on Pei Guo, but Pei Guo himself stood still with an indifferent expression.
"Don't make trouble when you go out, come back early." Yuwen Qiu dropped this sentence and turned to leave, the four Yuwen brothers and Pei Guo followed, leaving the Mo Chen brothers and Yuwen Ying in the house.
Hou Mo Chen Yue was simply overjoyed, puffed up his chest, and did not forget to send "bold words" towards Yuwen Qiu's back: "Although Lord Lang can rest assured, with me, Yingmei will never be able to make a mistake!" ”
Hou Mo Chen Chongke can't control his brothers and sisters, these flowers and sisters, at this moment, even jumping, a pair of eyes smiled into a narrow slit--- at the beginning because of the sentence "go to the country together, no one is left", this little thing also got his wish, and came to Huaishuo together, I don't want to end up with Yu Wenying from now on, every day in the "deep lock" barracks, suffocating people have lost three points, how can I not like it at this moment?
The so-called happiness and sorrow --- "pop papa" three times in a row, and I saw Hou Mo Chen Chong covering his ass and shouting ghosts. The little thing turned his head, and when he was about to be angry with his brother, he found that this time it was actually the black hand of Sister Ying...
