Although a long ladder was broken, there was still a long ladder that was successfully erected, and then several people pulled the rope at the top together, so that the long ladder slowly fell and rested on the sheep and horse wall.

Although Li Zhong and Li Mu shot a few thieves who pulled the rope, there were a total of four strands of rope, and each rope was pulled by several people, even if there was one person missing, the long ladder would not suddenly fall down. And there are constantly thieves to fill the position, and after one person falls, another thief soon grabs the rope.

With a "bang", the long ladder fell on the sheep and horse wall, leaving two deep depressions in the earthen sheep and horse wall.

"It's done, it's done."

"Rush in and take revenge!"

"Rush, kill it!"

……

The thieves shouted excitedly, and they all gathered near the long ladder, and began to rush to the long ladder and rush towards the stockade.

However, they had not received this kind of training before, and even if they were in a hurry, they could only slowly move on the trembling ladder.

This gave the crossbowmen on either side a good chance to shoot. Almost as soon as the sound of a bowstring was released, a thief on a ladder was shot, fell to the bottom of a trench full of bamboo sticks, and was tied into a hornet's nest.

Seeing that the opportunity was almost over, Shi Qian, who was in the camp in the distance, waved his hand and ordered, "Brothers, rush forward!" Grab their bows! ”

Li Yan grabbed his quiver, but he grabbed an empty one. He looked down and saw that the quiver was empty. So he looked into the quivers' quivers, and saw that there were only a few left.

Originally, he wanted to kill the sharp spirit of these thieves here, but there was only this one passage, and the movement on the ladder was still slow, and it was like a target. But I didn't expect that there were not many arrows.

"Wang Dejiang, quickly, send a few people to fetch arrows." Li Yan commanded.

However, he knew that this was far from quenching his thirst, and when the arrows came, he was afraid that the thieves would also break in. So he asked, "Is the oil ready?" ”

After asking a few people to go back to the stockade to get arrows, Wang Dejiang replied: "It's ready, you can use it at any time." ”

"Good!" Li Yan ordered: "Burn this ladder now!" Fast! ”

Wang Dejiang agreed, and he would personally burn the ladder. Although he is not old, he is not young after all, and he slowly drags the jar of lamp oil under the root of the sheep and horse wall.

It's a critical time, and it wouldn't be good if it was too late, when the crossbowmen ran out of arrows. So Li Yan took two steps forward, took the jar of lamp oil in his hand, and ran to the position of the ladder. Then he suddenly got up and splashed the lamp oil on the long ladder.

"Fire Medium!" Li Yan demanded loudly. After pouring the lamp oil, he squatted under the wall of sheep and horses to prevent him from being injured by the loss.

Wang Dejiang finally crawled over at this time, took out the fire medium, and handed it to Li Yan. He gasped and said, "Whether you're young or not, you can't do this thing well." ”

Li Yan ignored Wang Dejiang's self-pity, and after blowing the fire medium, he threw it to the place where the lamp oil was the most, and the raging fire burned on the long ladder in an instant.

And after the fire medium fell under the ditch, it also ignited the thieves who fell below and stuck to the lamp oil. If you die, you're lucky, but if you're just injured, you're out of luck.

"Ah~", "Ah~", "Help~". A long scream came from under the trench. The wounded below endured severe burns, but there was no way to extinguish the fire, and they could only slowly die in screams.

This inhuman scream finally woke up the new thieves who were full of 'revenge', and they were no longer as crazy as they had been at the beginning, regardless of casualties or pain. Now they knew that they were afraid, and began to retreat slowly, away from the gully from which the screams were heard.

At this time, the subordinates of 'Shi Qian' had just rushed to the edge of the ditch, and they pushed and beat those new soldiers, shouting: "Rush, rush up!" Avenge your loved ones! ”

But Xinding, who has lost his courage, is only cowardice. They didn't dare to rush forward again, the creepy screams that made them creep still echoed in their ears, and they had to stay away. No matter how many old thieves kick and encourage, they are not willing to take another step forward.

Moreover, the long ladder had been swallowed up by the flames, and the rope holding several sections of the ladder in place had been burned, and the long ladder disintegrated and fell into the trench.

'Shi Qian' saw his carefully planned attack come to naught, and finally had no choice but to withdraw his troops.

When the thieves heard the signal to withdraw their troops, they immediately turned around and ran back. The newcomers also ran back, not the madness they had when they came, only confusion and fear.

'Shi Qian' came to Yang Datou and Pork Cai, hugged his fists and said: "Brother Yang, Brother Cai, you see, there is nothing to be afraid of this village, as long as we increase our offensive efforts and attack from several directions at the same time, it is easy to break through." ”

Yang Datou and Pork Cai didn't speak, but just looked at 'Shi Qian' with expressionless faces.

Shi Qian continued: "Tomorrow, tomorrow we will attack again. Today, I will ask the craftsmen to create a more suitable ladder for us. At the same time, at night, the homeless people will continue to take advantage of the darkness to continue to fill the trenches. Tomorrow we will be able to enter this village, what do the two brothers think? ”

Pork Cai first said: "Okay, as long as you can make a long ladder or fill in the trench." ”

Yang Datou also said: "Yes, as long as you can do what you say, let's attack together." ”

"Good! Thank you, two brothers. "Shi Qian" smiled and said: "Then everyone will have a good rest tonight, and wait until tomorrow, let's drink and have fun in the village!" ”

Inside the fence.

Li Mu watched the thieves scramble to retreat, he wiped the sweat on his forehead, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "It's finally going down, if you don't burn their long ladder, I don't know how long it will take." ”

At this time, everyone sat down on the ground tiredly, don't look at the crossbow arrow winding is not too tired, but do it twenty or thirty times in a row, and it is also tired enough.

After a while, Min Zhuang, who went to fetch arrows, came over with a few bundles of crossbow arrows, and also brought some arrows to Li Yan and them.

"Several other places have to be added as well." Li Yan commanded.

Li Zhong said: "I have already ordered it just now, and I have also sent it to other directions. ”

"These guys have to be dealt with tonight!" Li Mu filled the quiver and said angrily: "I also know that the sound is hitting the west!" If I wait any longer, I don't know what the hell I'm going to come up with! ”

Li Yan nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, I'll defeat them tonight!" ”
