Lan Ziyi and Tao Zhulu found the city wall in the dark, and thanks to Tao Zhulu leading the way, the two finally returned to the vicinity of the city wall that they had just come down.

The peach chased the deer under the city, and learned to call a vole according to the agreed code,

As soon as the sound fell on the head of the city, a rope and a bamboo basket were lowered.

Lan Ziyi sat in the bamboo basket, and was soon pulled up to the city, with an arm stretched out from the wall, Lan Ziyi caught the force, and climbed the city wall.

Behind him, Tao Zhulu had just climbed the city wall along the rope, and his mouth was still ridiculing the thrilling thing in the thief camp just now, but when he looked up, he saw Tao Zhuhu standing in front of him and Tao Zhutu shrinking aside.

I didn't expect the matter to be known by Tao Zhuhu, how did I reveal my stuffing?

Lan Ziyi sighed, it seemed that he would inevitably be scolded today, and then Lan Ziyi said:

"How can General Zhuhu still ...... so late?"

Before Lan Ziyi finished speaking, Tao Zhuhu opened his mouth and shouted:

"Wei Hou Ke still remembers that he is the commander of the first army? Do you know that there are tens of thousands of soldiers and more people in this city? You just went deep into the enemy camp like this, risking your life, and did you still have a little sense of a commander? “

Lan Ziyi only smiled when he heard Tao Zhuhu's angry scolding, bowed his head and didn't reply.

Then Tao Zhuhu turned his head and scolded Tao Zhulu:

"The young master is not light or heavy, and you don't know how heavy it is? Going out to find out the enemy is your forte, just go by yourself, the young master said you will let him go? Do you have water in your head? If the young master has three longs and two shorts, he will not be able to pay for your life if he beheads you a hundred times. ”

Then Peach Chase Tiger turned around and scolded Peach Chase Rabbit:

"The reason for you to follow the young master is to let you protect the young master's safety, not to hide the young master's whereabouts. Where do you think this is? Is it the fireworks willow lane in the capital? What will you do if the young master doesn't come back tonight? ”

Tao Zhuhu was obviously really angry, and everyone on the stinking and scolding city wall couldn't even raise their heads.

Peach and Peach and Rabbit lowered their heads and didn't dare to come out, for fear of provoking Peach and Tiger and causing more trouble.

Tao Zhuhu just kept scolding, scolding for a long time and being a little tired, dry mouth, hoarse voice,

Lan Ziyi saw that the opportunity had come, and hurriedly said:

"Big brother, don't blame the second brother and the third brother, I asked to go out tonight, and the second brother and the third brother originally disagreed."

When Tao Zhuhu heard the word "disagree", his anger surged up again, and he scolded Tao Zhulu and Tao Zhutu:

"Don't you agree and don't stop it? The young master went to the thief camp and didn't report me?

If I hadn't led a tour of the city at night, I would have been kept in the dark tonight! “

Lan Ziyi saw that Tao Zhuhu was angry again, and hurriedly walked over and stretched out his hand to appease him, and said:

"Big brother is angry, it's not good to hurt your body with such a big anger.

I also went out of the city to see with my own eyes what was going on with the thieves, and it was because I was the commander of the army that I needed to know about the situation. “

Tao Zhuhu was still angry, waved away Lan Ziyi's outstretched hand, and said:

"Let Erlang collect the military information, young master, you can hear it in the city,

You've fought many times with thieves, and you've personally gone to the thieves' camp to see the king of thieves, so won't you be recognized in the past? Thank goodness you made it back alive today. “

Tao Zhuhu swung hard, hit Lan Ziyi with a stumble, and also affected the bruises on his body, and Lan Ziyi cried out in pain.

Tao Zhuhu heard that Lan Ziyi was wearing it, he was startled, and his anger was gone, so he hurriedly stepped forward and asked:

"Young Master, are you injured?"

Lan Ziyi smiled and told what had just happened in the thief camp,

Tao Zhulu saw that his eldest brother's anger had subsided, and he also added it.

After listening to what Lan Ziyi said, especially after listening to the bitter meat trick staged by Tao Zhulu and Lan Ziyi, Tao Zhuhu kicked Tao Zhulu fiercely,

Lan Ziyi hurriedly stopped Tao Zhuhu and said:

"The eldest brother can't help it, and the second brother is also getting out for me."

Tao Zhuhu was stopped by Lan Ziyi and scolded Tao Zhulu

"If you dare to hit the young master again, I will break your legs!

If this happens in the future, think of other ways to use what kind of bitter meat tricks. ”

Then he said to Lan Ziyi:

"Young master, look, you are in the mouth of a tiger like this, and you will inevitably suffer a meal of flesh and skin in the end, this is still a great luck, you came back well, if you are caught by thieves, you will have it."

Lan Ziyi smiled and comforted Tao Zhuhu and said:

"Big brother, don't be angry, I'm fine.

Although the second brother can collect detailed information and accurately understand the details of the thief, I still have to see it with my own eyes to experience what the thief is like. “

Peach Chase Tiger sighed and asked with the remaining irritation:

"What is there to experience? Wei Hou, what have you experienced? “

Lan Ziyi smiled, put his arm around Tao Zhuhu's shoulders and walked towards the city gatehouse, saying as he walked:

"For example, this time I went down to the city, I felt the bewitchment of the people by the demon thieves......"

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

If it weren't for the internal urgency, Lan Ziyi would never have woken up,

It was already dawn outside the city gate, and the soldiers on the city wall were busy nervously, and their trumpets and shouts gradually came into Lan Ziyi's mind.

It's also strange to say, when I was in the capital, I was woken up by even a little sound when I was wearing brocade clothes and food every day, and I would be woken up by even a little sound when I slept with tassels and incense when I was in the capital.

Lan Ziyi, who was amused by his own thoughts, just wanted to turn over and sit up, but felt pain in every muscle in his body.

He rolled up his sleeves and saw that the bruise on his arm was a big bruise, and it was estimated that other parts of his body would not be better than this.

However, the green is green, the bruised area is not swollen, and the proportionality of the peach and the deer is really just right, but it still hurts if it is kicked.

"If only the second brother used other methods, I wouldn't have to suffer this crime."

Lan Ziyi thought so in his heart, but he still sat up from the animal skin spread on the ground, and after calming down, Lan Ziyi got up, found the commode and pushed the door out.

When he came to the city wall, the first thing that caught Lan Ziyi's eye was that a row of dense pointed wooden fences was erected behind the female wall on the periphery of the city wall, just like the wooden wall erected by the military camp in the field, although it was not so dense, but it was also erected like a fence, even if the thieves climbed the city wall, they had nowhere to stay, and they had to climb over this wooden fence first.

Lan Ziyi walked towards Gao Yanzong, who commanded the busy sergeants,

After returning to the city last night, Lan Ziyi told Tao Zhuhu about the information he got out of the city, and Tao Zhuhu felt that it was necessary to make targeted measures, so he contacted Qiu Wenruo and Qiu Xiaozhi overnight, and also told Gao Yanzong that the personnel in the city wall were busy overnight.

Tao Zhuhu originally wanted Lan Ziyi to return to the palace and stop going to the city wall, but Lan Ziyi insisted on not complying.

In the end, there was no way to let Lan Ziyi come to Ximen Gao Yanzong, not because he was afraid that Gao Yanzong's civil officials would not practice military affairs, but because Gao Yanzong was brave and fearless, and Lan Ziyi and Tao Zhutu didn't have to worry too much about the city wall, so that Tao Zhutu could protect Lan Ziyi wholeheartedly.

And because Gao Yanzong was too impulsive to fight, Lan Ziyi discussed with Tao Zhuhu and was afraid that Gao Yanzong would plunge into the thief formation next time and then sacrifice his life for the country, and there would be no general in Ximen, so it was okay to let Lan Ziyi come to Xichengmen just in case.

Lan Ziyi walked up to Gao Yanzong and asked:

"Master Gao, what are these wooden fences for?"

When Gao Yanzong saw Lan Ziyi coming, he greeted with a smile, and then said:

"Didn't Wei Hou say last night that the thieves wanted to use the mound of dirt, the mound of earth outside the city is nothing more than a role of archery suppression into the city, we just need to take the shield, don't worry."

Lan Ziyi nodded and asked again:

"In that case, what are you doing with a tall tree fence? We already have walls. ”

Gao Yanzong replied:

"After all, Tushan archery is only an auxiliary, but it is just to suppress the defenders in the city, if the thieves want to take the city, they still have to rely on hand-to-hand combat in the end.

Without the arrows of the earth mountain, our army can be like last time, and boldly block the thieves on the city wall; But if the thieves have the earth mountain to shoot arrows, it is not so easy, the city soldiers are busy dodging the arrows, and they can't concentrate on dealing with the thieves who climb the city, at this time, as long as we erect this wooden fence, the thieves want to go to the city, they have to think about it first, and the time they climb the fence is the time for our soldiers to fight back, so that the effect of the thieves' suppression of the earth mountain is also neutralized. “

Lan Ziyi nodded when he listened, this Gao Yanzong was really wonderful.

Lan Ziyi praised Gao Yanzongdao:

"How did Master Gao come up with this method?"

Gao Yanzong smiled honestly:

"Last night, Wei Hou brought back information, and I discussed with the two gentlemen of the Qiu family how to strengthen the city defense.

I didn't come up with the idea of the tree fence alone, but discussed it with Mr. Qiu Wenruo.

The entire city wall of Xiangcheng was surrounded overnight. The west side of the city was originally a winter school field, and Mr. Wen Ruo also took out manpower to pile up a mountain of dirt in the school field overnight to shoot at the thieves. “

Lan Ziyi nodded when he listened, and then asked:

"In that case, why don't you build a mountain of dirt in the city to defend against the thieves?"

Gao Yanzong replied:

"This makes the amount of work too large, there are not so many people in the city, and secondly, except for the open space at the west gate, there are all houses behind the other city walls, even if the people are willing, I can't bear to bulldoze the people's houses one by one."

Lan Ziyi didn't continue to talk about this matter when he listened.

However, Gao Yanzong joked:

"Wei Hou is really brave and strategic, he went deep into the enemy camp last night and returned safely, and the lower officials admired him very much."

Lan Ziyi smiled, remembered something, and asked:

"Lord Gao only cares about preventing thieves from Koutu Mountain, so what about the thieves and thieves? Don't you care? ”

Gao Yanzong laughed when he heard this, and said:

"If the thief wants to dig, let him dig it,

There is a moat outside the city, the shallowest place is a zhang deep, even if it is added by the thief, it is a puddle of mud, every half a month can not be done at all, the thief wants to dig under the city wall as long as the moat is dug to collapse, and then dig deep and can not find the city wall.

What's more, I dug a circle of wells along the wall, just to listen to the movement of the ground, and if the thieves dared to dig me, I could hear it, and I could dig up the water and set it on fire, killing two birds with one stone.

So if the thief wants to attack, let him attack, I'm not afraid. “

Lan Ziyi nodded when he heard this, and said:

"I still wonder what the well dug in the wall of the tall city is for, but now I understand it."

At this time, the thieves outside the city came out of the camp again and lined up around Xiang Cheng, and the attack was about to begin.

Looking at the scene outside the city, Gao Yanzong said:

"It's coming!"

Same as yesterday, the first to rush to Xiangcheng were the thieves and people with dirt bags on their backs, Lan Ziyi and Gao Yanzong scoffed at this, they had long been wary of Tushan, let him pile up.

But the thieves did not intend to face the mountain outside the city, but braved the arrows from the city to rush to the foot of the city wall, and piled up the earth bags under the city wall.

At first glance, Lan Ziyi and Gao Yanzong were puzzled, and when the thieves piled up the soil higher and higher, Lan Ziyi suddenly realized and called:

"Oh no, the thieves are not going to pile up the dirt mountain we thought, they are going to pile up the city wall!"
