County Magistrate Liu was wandering away as if he was sleeping, but the door was gently pushed open. Liu Chao walked in quietly.

County Magistrate Liu seems to have smelled Liu Chao's body.

With his eyes closed, Lai Sheng asked, "Is there any movement of the horse thief?" ”

Liu Chao hurriedly stepped forward, leaned in front of the bed, and said excitedly: "There are two leaks in the water in the trench, and the water is poured into the hole. ”

When County Magistrate Liu heard this, he suddenly turned over and sat up.

was so excited that his voice changed tone, and he said, "Let people come and store water quickly." ”

Liu Chao hurriedly said: "If you store miles, the water will not stop pouring into it."

County Magistrate Liu looked up to the sky and sighed, and said with emotion: "This time, let Ma Hui taste the taste of water and rats, and see if he dares to dig a hole again." ”

After a quiet night, the rooster, who did not know sorrow, had crowed enthusiastically three times.

County Magistrate Liu sat up quietly, and saw that Xiangzi was already tying his shoes, so he said casually: "It's still early, what are you doing when you get up?" ”

Shoko walked over and said with a smile, "Get used to it, wake up when the time comes." ”

While arranging the clothes on his body, County Magistrate Liu muttered as if talking to himself: "Liu Chao and Liu Neng, if you are so diligent, it will make me worry." ”

Xiangzi smiled and said, "He's still two years old, just wait until he's older." ”

County Magistrate Liu snorted lightly and said, "Three-year-olds look big, ten-year-olds look old, and if you are young, you won't be productive." ”

The two were talking, and suddenly heard a loud "boom" in the direction of the north gate.

County Magistrate Liu was startled, hurriedly threw down the teacup, and together with Xiangzi, ran towards the north gate.

Halfway through the road, he met the panting Zhang Guangqian, and saw the county magistrate Liu.

The cat gasped for a while, and said breathlessly: "North Gate, let the horse bandits overturn and crush three people to death on the spot." ”

When County Magistrate Liu heard this, he was so anxious that he didn't say anything, turned his head and ran forward.

A few hundred meters away, I heard the gunshots at the north gate, like fried pockmarks.

In front of a low wall, Xiangzi grabbed County Magistrate Liu.

Let him and Zhang Guangqian hide here and don't move.

The situation ahead is unknown, he has to go and see first.

County Magistrate Liu shouted eagerly: "Be careful! ”

Before the words fell, Xiangzi's figure had disappeared around the corner.

It turned out that the horse thief was in the tunnel and suffered the loss of irrigation.

Having learned his lesson, he dug a secret passage towards the north gate overnight.

It was just dug under the city gate, and then stopped.

He put * in it, and easily overturned the gates.

As soon as the city gate opened, the horse army came like a tidal wave.

Fortunately, Regiment Commander You brought in a machine gun, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to withstand it at all.

The horse bandits organized several charges, but they were all pressed back.

At this time, Regiment Commander You and his own family carried machine guns and rushed to reinforcements.

Two machine guns, firing through the doorway.

The horse bandits who rushed through the door fell on either side of the door like bales of straw blown by the wind.

After a while, it was piled up into a pile of people.

The horse bandits rushed seven or eight times, and when they saw that they couldn't do it, they gradually retreated.

Although the horse bandits no longer charged, they still shot cold shots at the door hole from time to time, and the soldiers and civilians in the city did not dare to go out.

Under such circumstances, it is simply impossible to block the city gates without paying casualties.

However, as long as the gates are open, there is a great danger and danger left behind.

For a moment, everyone fell into an anxious silence.

After a long while, County Magistrate Liu slapped the table and said, "Block!" ”

Hearing that it was going to be blocked, Zhang Guang took a step forward, looked at County Magistrate Liu suspiciously, and said, "Guns are flying around, why are people getting close?" ”

County Magistrate Liu squeezed out a sneer on his face, and said as if talking to himself: "Slip down from the city gate building." ”

Seeing that Zhang Guangqian was still half-open, he looked at himself with a cloudy face.

Magistrate Liu then said: "Come and find a few carpenters, take the guys, dig a big hole in the planks that have been beaten on the city gate, and slide the soil down from the hole." ”

When Zhang Guangqian heard this, he slapped his face excitedly and said, "This method is successful!" ”

County Magistrate Liu turned his face and sighed lightly, and said, "It's just that I can't draw many manpower right now, and I can't carry soil to the city wall, but what can I do." ”

Zhang Guangqian listened to it and said disapprerovitically: "Hey! As long as there is a way, you don't care about the manpower. ”

With that, he rushed out of the door.

It didn't take much effort, Zhang Guangqian rushed back in a hurry.

Behind him, there are two more, teenage and half-grown children.

Seeing County Magistrate Liu, he looked at himself with suspicious eyes.

Zhang Guang took a step forward, his face was full of excitement, and said, "These two dolls, the tall one is called Dong Hanying, and the short one is called Zhang Fenqi."

They mobilized the dolls in the city and carried dirt to the city walls. ”

County Magistrate Liu glanced at the doll hesitantly, his eyes full of expectation.

sighed heartache and said, "Can such a small baby work?" ”

The two babies said with confidence: "Mo Mada!" ”

County Magistrate Liu gently stroked their heads.

Then, as if determined, he said, "Okay!" Now, I'm going to appoint you two to be doll heads.

Contact the dolls and gather them all in the square. ”

The two babies answered, and then went out of the door.

Zhang Guangqian leaned over as if he was in a heavy state of mind, and said, "Listening to the carpenter's shouting, the city gates are covered with five-inch thick elm planks, and it may take some trouble to dig them up. ”

County Magistrate Liu said with relief: "Don't worry, it seems that horse thieves don't dare to come hard during the day."

Just catch up with the dark and block the doorway.

At night, you can get a good night's sleep. ”

While talking, Dong Hanying ran in with a hot head. He said, "Everyone is here." ”

County Magistrate Liu stuck his head out of the door suspiciously and glanced at it.

Good guys, in the square, there is a large field of dolls standing densely.

Carry a cloth bag or a basket of tree strips in your hand.

County Magistrate Liu looked at Dong Hanying in surprise and said, "So much?" ”

Dong Hanying smiled and said, "Roughly counting, there are more than 100 miles." ”

Don't say it, the doll's legs and feet are fast, the sun has not yet set, and a large pile of loess is tightly pressed into the city gate hole.

The horse thief worked all night, and the hole he dug was useless.

From afar, the horse thief was gradually submerged in the heavy twilight.

Inside and outside the city, a brief calm was restored.

In the thick twilight, I saw the smoke curling and the lights faint.

I don't know whose broken baby got into trouble, and was chased by her mother and cried.

The sharp and crisp sound added a bit of vitality to the quiet town.
