The tired Qiu Yi was suddenly frightened, and his somewhat sluggish body immediately collapsed, almost kicking the black shadow over, but fortunately he understood the black shadow's cry for help, it should not be a bad intention, not the remaining assassins of the thief. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Qiu Yi saw that the figure of this black shadow was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was, so he had to ask in a dull voice, "Who are you?" ”

The black shadow bowed and kowtowed, saying: "The villain is Zhou Ge, a soldier of Wuqu Jiatun under the command of Jun Sima, because he was forced by Huang Jing, the general of the tun, he had to flee to Jun Sima's room for temporary refuge, and begged Jun Sima to save the villain...... said again and again.

At this time, Wang Dang, who was standing guard outside, heard the movement in the room, and hurriedly broke in and shouted, "Who is it? When he saw the dark shadow on the ground, he shouted: "Someone, there are assassins." "If you start with a knife, you will cut it off.

Qiu Yi hurriedly stopped him and shouted, "What are you panicking about? If you're an Assassin, you're still waiting to come in? ”

Wang Dang was reprimanded, and he couldn't help but put away his knife and retreat to accuse him. Qiu Yi shook his head, several pro-soldier generals are not cautious and careful people, and they are not good at guarding things, so it seems that they have to continue to pick talents. Qiu Yi took a few steps forward, passed by the side of the black shadow Zhou Ge, sat on the couch and said, "Get up and speak, Huang Jing and Huang Tun will be forcing you for something." ”

Zhou Ge turned around and continued to kneel, only then did he raise his head, Zhou Ge was about twenty years old, his face was thin, monkey-like, and his body was vigorous. At this time, he said angrily: "When the villain attacks the city today, he will be the first to ascend, so the winner will be rewarded with ten gold." I didn't want to be dissatisfied with Huang Jing's reward of 100 gold because of the villain's work, so he asked the villain to dedicate the 10 gold to him. The villain was not convinced, argued with it, but was dealt with by Huang Jing for the crime of disrespect in military law, and wanted to kill the villain, but the villain had no choice but to break through the interception of Huang Jing's personal guards and fled to the military Sima to hide. ”

Qiu Yi rubbed his brows and asked with some disbelief: "It turns out that you are the first person to ascend today!" You said that Huang Jing was greedy for the ten gold in your hand? How could this be? Ten gold is a lot of gold for you, but he was rewarded with a hundred gold for your merits, which is a lot of money, how can he still covet the ten gold in your hand? ”

Zhou Ge hurriedly explained: "The villain heard from the soldiers of Tongtun that Huang Jing had given eighty gold to Qian Junhou for the hundred gold in his hand, and Qian Junhou took another fifty gold for filial piety to Ye Junsima in the rear. So Huang Jing only has twenty gold in his hand, and it is not surprising that he covets the villain's ten gold. ”

Qiu Yi listened more and more nonsense, and asked: "Filial piety? Honoring your boss? It seems that I am the boss of General Huang Tun and Qian Junhou, right? Why didn't they come to honor me, but they wanted to honor Ye Cun in the back? ”

Zhou Ge shook his head and said: "I don't know about this villain, but the villain heard that General Huang Tun and Qian Junhou relied on Ye Junma to become ...... in this position."

Qiu Yi was stunned, could it be that the two of them were afraid of summoning Mausoleum Captain Ye Hua? Well, Gong Zhang once promised to share the credit of the Zhaoling Army with Ye Hua equally, so in this way, Ye Hua's official luck in the future will not be too bad, I am afraid that Ye Hua and Ye Cun are quite reasonable. It's just that if you have 100 gold, even if you go to Luoyang City to buy a position as a county lieutenant of a border county, why do you need to ask him for the Ye family.

Nowadays, the government of Luoyang City is chaotic, and the Son of Heaven loves money, so he once marked the price of the position of a hundred officials, as long as he has enough family background, qualifications and merits, he can withdraw money to get it. Ten thousand gold can get the post of three dukes, thousands of gold can get the post of county guard, and three or four hundred gold can get the post of county magistrate and lieutenant. The border county is dangerous, relatively speaking, the official position of the county commander and the lieutenant is cheap, and it can be obtained for 100 gold. When Qiu Yi was in Yun County, he had the intention to seek the position of a county lieutenant in the border county in the future.

Qiu Yi couldn't figure it out, so he asked a few more questions, but Zhou Ge didn't know either, so he had to give up and put the matter in his heart for the time being. Qiu Yi saw that Zhou Zhi was still brave, and when he landed in the city first, he did not scream with excitement because he was about to get a heavy reward, but he was able to calm down and protect himself, and he did not die on the spot, and he successfully got the reward of the first climb, which is considered a talent. Well, just save him.

Qiu Yizhuan said to Wang Dang: "You go and talk to General Huang Tun, just say that I watched Zhou Ge bravely ascend first today, and I like it very much, so I specially transferred him to the pro-soldier tun to work, and I also asked General Huang Tun to cut his love." Wang Dang led Zhou Ge out of the room at the order, and Qiu Yi washed up and rested a little.

Early in the morning of the second day, Qiu Yi went to Xicheng to arrange the garrison of the soldiers under his command. The city walls on the east and west sides are more than two miles long, but the south and north are only one and a half miles, the circumference is seven and a half miles, a total of two thousand two hundred and fifty steps, and it is divided into two city gates in the north and south.

In a large county like this, there should have been four city gates, but for some reason, there are only two city gates in Liyang City. However, it is precisely because of this that it is easier to guard, and most of the more than 2,000 households that originally lived in Liyang City have been relocated and transformed into a huge city of grain.

The nearly 7,000 troops of the Zhaoling Army, plus more than 3,000 thieves guarding grain in the original city, occupied the open space between the various grain hoarding warehouses. More than 10,000 people were never allowed to make a fire to cook in it, and they could only make a fire on the city wall. Qiu Yi stood at the head of the city, and couldn't help but be a little worried when he saw the scene in the city, if the thieves knew about the situation in the city, a fire could wipe out the Zhaoling army.

Ben also thought about setting up a small village outside the city to defend it, and the city was a corner, but there was not enough time, so he had to give up. Now we can only hope that the thieves will not be able to give up the hundreds of thousands of stones of grain and grass in the city.

The city wall of the west city is 720 steps in total, there are 420 battlements, according to each battlement one person to defend, only 420 people, a total of more than 4 tun manpower. For every 20 stacks, 10 soldiers need to be left ready to support and replenish at all times, and it will be about 200 people in two tuns. The other Santun men and horses were the general reserves, ready to fight the thieves who attacked the city walls. There are also 400 people who are carrying and replenishing all kinds of materials to defend the city, or preparing to replace the shortage of defenders.

After the arrangement was decided, Qiu Yi sent six more guards to and from the other three city walls to liaise with each other at any time. Qiu Rui's 1,000 foot soldiers and Su Heng's more than 300 cavalry soldiers were mobile troops, mainly reserved for the city's surprise attack on the thief army.

At noon, Qiu Yi, who was resting on the horse side of the city wall, was suddenly awakened by a shock, Qiu Yi got up from the empty quiver on the headrest, and flew to stand on the battlements and looked at the west side. I saw that at the end of the field, a black line was surging towards this side, and with the passage of time, the black line gradually became a black mass, and gradually became a tide of black pressure.

"It's the thief who has arrived. Come, and the Lord will know. Qiu Yi shouted, and immediately there were guards who went to the order, and at the same time, there were also heralds on the three city walls to report the thief.

The guards around them immediately became tense, and the humming sound could be heard everywhere. Qiu Yi scolded unhappily: "What are you panicking, the thieves are still at least ten miles away from the city, and it will take at least an hour when the thieves are all approaching the city." All give the army Sima to lie down and rest, and recuperate well. The leader of the army, quickly make food, so that the soldiers can eat and kill the thieves. Anyway, there is a lot of food in the city, try to make as much as possible, and add more to those guys who can't eat enough on weekdays, and if they want to die, they will also be a full ghost. ”

Bursts of laughter rang out above the city, and the nervousness was gone. Those who are bold immediately fall to the ground and fall asleep, while those who are timid gather together and whisper words. It is said that seventy percent of the guards are also thieves, but most of them are coerced by the yellow turban to become thieves, and they don't have much affection for the yellow turban thief.

Although the Han family is rotten, it has not been completely defeated, and the hearts of the people have not been completely lost, but the Yellow Turban Moth thief has lost the hearts of the people early, but it is an early death. Those who have insight can not be optimistic about the Yellow Turban Moth Thief. Therefore, the guards are very fortunate to be able to re-clear the identity of the thief, and they will never repeat it.

Gong Zhang, Qiu Rui, Su Heng, Zhu Li and other generals hurried to Xicheng, and the other three guards also rushed over, all of them looked towards the west, and couldn't help but gasp at the same time. At this time, the thieves approached a lot, and the tide of the sea of people seemed to be rolling in endlessly, and the scalp of people was numb, is this the thief of 50,000 people?

There will be a few thieves summoning the Ling army, although the thousands of people and horses also have the tendency to spread all over the mountains, but there is definitely no 50,000 horses marching together The momentum is amazing. Gong Zhang exclaimed: "Gentlemen, 50,000 thieves, can our army really hold this city?" ”

Qiu Rui first persuaded: "Commander, even if our army fights with thieves in the field, it can defeat one enemy and five. If you defend the city and fight, you can definitely fight dozens of enemies. Fifty thousand thieves is not enough for us to slaughter. Besides, if the He Yi and He Man brothers are defeated, Shansang Liu Pi and other thieves will definitely fall to the wind, and after this battle, Runan County will be peaceful. ”

Gong Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "I hope so, yes, did you go to Pingyu to report the envoy back?" Should Zhao Qian make an appointment with me to break the thief? ”

Su Heng smiled bitterly: "Lord, the messenger only went to Pingyu to report the news after the fall of the city yesterday, a hundred miles away, and he has to take a detour, and he may not be able to return until tonight or tomorrow morning." ”

Gong Zhang patted his forehead and smiled: "Yes, yes, only 50,000 thieves have made the old man angry." Mingyuan, you are facing thieves, but you have to be careful. ”

Qiu Yi clenched his fists and said: "The Lord General, please rest assured, the last general will not let the thieves come to the city." It's just that although we are facing the thieves, there is no city gate to take, maybe it will be easier, and the south and north gates will be the main direction of the thieves. ”

Gong Zhang turned his head suspiciously and asked, Qiu Rui explained: "There are only city walls, no city gates, and it is very difficult to invest troops when attacking the city, and it is absolutely impossible to break the city." Only when the city gate is captured and the army rushes in, will there be the possibility of falling into the city. Our army was able to easily capture the city yesterday because the thieves were not high-minded and their combat strength was not strong. At this time, the morale of our army is high, the combat strength is tenacious, even if more than half of the casualties are killed, it must be able to hold out, and please rest assured that the main general. ”

Gong Zhang nodded happily and said: "That's good, that's good, the matter of defending the city will be left to you, don't take it lightly, especially the righteous loyalty and general of the north and south gates." ”

Zhu Mian and Ye Cun bowed down and responded: "Abide by the order of the main general (county monarch)." ”
