Zhang Song didn't answer, he looked around, the thieves outside the city must have set up camps, only the faint light of the fire could be seen, and beyond that, it was pitch black. Some of the people on the top of the wall were asleep, and the rest were just shrunk under the battlements to avoid the wind, and did not speak. The houses in the city had been hidden in darkness, and it was impossible to distinguish anything but the light.

Under the firelight, the people in the family were still so arrogant, and when they saw Yang Xing asking a young man for advice, there was obvious contempt and disapproval on his face, and there was a look of looking at people's jokes.

Yang Xing's face gradually became ugly with Zhang Song's silence, the smile on his face was no longer there, and the gaze looking at Zhang Song was slowly becoming colder.

Li Shan, who had always been serious, unexpectedly had anxiety on his face, and he secretly pulled Zhang Song's shirt and motioned for him to hurry up and reply to Yang Xing.

Just when Yang Xing was about to have a seizure, Zhang Song bowed down and saluted Yang Xing and said, "Yes!" ”

This answer was like spring thunder, the frost on Yang Xing's face quickly melted, he laughed again, and said, "I knew that you wouldn't let me down, so quickly tell me the plan!" ”

The faces of the main book, the record history, the history of the main record room, and Li Shan and others also became good-looking, and there was still a smile on Li Shan's face.

The people in the family are still so arrogant, and the contempt and disapproval on their faces still exist, just look closely, and you will find that the look of watching jokes at the beginning has quietly disappeared, and even the contempt and disapproval on their faces have faded a little.

In Yang Xing's eager eyes, Zhang Song said: "Without him, water the city wall." ”

As soon as he heard this, Yang Xing's face stiffened suddenly, and his eyes flashed with disbelief.

The taller person from the family "snorted" and laughed so much that the tea in his mouth spurted out, and although the other representative of the stronger Wang family did not appear to laugh, he also shook his head, and the clear contempt on his face could not be concealed.

The main book, the history of the record, and the history of the main record room shook his head and sighed when he heard it, and even Li Shan was stunned and speechless.

At this time, Yang Xing's face could no longer be hung up, and he said sharply to Zhang Song: "Resist thieves outside and protect the people inside, what a big thing this is, you actually use children's tricks to fool this county, do you really think that the knives and axes in this county are not sharp enough!" ”

Zhang Song was extremely impatient, but under the eaves of people, he had to press it down. Otherwise, this broken county order may really make his family unable to survive in Liangzhou, where thieves are rampant and rebellions occur from time to time.

So, Zhang Song respectfully saluted Yang Xing again, and said, "The county respects the anger, and waits for the kid to demonstrate it for you." ”

Zhang Song took out Li Shan's saber and walked to a nearby water tank, smashed the ice in the water tank with force, and then scooped a scoop of water and poured it on the ground. In an instant, the water on the ground froze.

Seeing that the onlookers were still ignorant, Zhang Song explained: "Now the outer walls of the city wall are damaged, which is very easy to climb. When a large group of thieves is attacking a city, it can be difficult to defend, and pouring water on the outer walls of the walls makes the walls easy to defend and prevents thieves from sneaking up on them in the dark. ”

"I see, if you pour water on the outer walls of the walls, the water will soon freeze and cling to the walls, and it will be extremely difficult for thieves to climb up." Someone in the crowd took Zhang Song's words.

Zhang Song nodded and said, "Yes, if we do a good job, we will definitely be able to repel the thieves' attack again." ”

"Good! It's a good plan! Brother Wang, Brother Li, what do you think? Yang Xing said happily, and at the same time turned to the people from the family to ask for opinions.

The taller person in the family turned out to be the representative of the Li family, and after he and the representative of the Wang family glanced at each other, they saluted Yang Xing together, and said in unison: "But it is up to the Yang County Order to decide!" ”

Yang Xing immediately ordered the organization personnel to send water and water the wall, and at Zhang Song's suggestion, a number of fires were lit on the top of the city wall, and the firelight illuminated the entire city wall.

The history of the record, the history of the main record room and others were busy, and Li Shan was also assigned by Yang Xing to do things. Yang Xing, accompanied by the main bookkeeper and the subordinate Shuzuo, inspected around the top of the city wall.

Under the urging of the wanderers and thieves, the people were quickly mobilized, torches were lit in many places in the city, young men and young women, some young men were responsible for carrying water to the city wall, and the old men and the rest of the young men were responsible for watering the outer wall.

Zhang Song's side suddenly became empty, and he looked at the busy people around, and his heart became hot, and the chill seemed to be less biting.

The movement on the city wall had already alarmed the thieves outside the city, and the torches in the thieves' camp suddenly burst into flames, and some of the thieves rode to a distance of a few feet from the city wall, and when they looked closely, they laughed loudly when they saw that the people of the city were only pouring water on the outer walls, and had done nothing else.

The people on the city wall did not answer Yang Xing's request, but just blindly watered. The thieves who were observing saw that the people in the city did not answer, and they were bored, and after scolding a few times, they returned to the camp. In a few moments, the torches in the thieves' camp were extinguished.

After observing for a while, Zhang Song frowned, the city wall is too long, the top of the city wall is too narrow, the people can't use it, and the watering process is too slow, just afraid that when the thieves attack the city, the watering project has not yet been completed.

Zhang Song reported his worries to Yang Xing, the county commander who came back from the inspection, and Yang Xing was very optimistic and said: "Don't worry, the road is not easy to walk in the dark at night, and the other dragon thieves will not arrive outside the city so quickly." With that, he left.

"Come on, move all these things that get in the way to the side, and let everyone hurry up a little bit." The main bookkeeper, who came from behind, kicked the bamboo piled on top of the city wall and shouted.

Soon a few people came to move the bamboo.

"Bamboo?" Zhang Song was stunned for a moment, and quickly came back to his senses, "Master Bookkeeper, can you send a few people to me and hand over the bamboo to me as well?" ”

"Okay!" The chief bookkeeper readily agreed to Zhang Song's request, and soon assigned five people to Zhang Song.

Zhang Song asked people to find a few saws, some rags, ropes, etc., and taught the five people to make them according to the method in their memory. That utensil was simple and easy to learn, Zhang Song demonstrated it, and the five people learned it, and after Zhang Song adjusted the division of labor among the five people, the efficiency of the five people's production soon improved.

At this moment, a loud commotion was heard outside the city.

Zhang Song straightened up and ran to the city wall to see that the thieves' camp was lit with torches, and there was a fire dragon winding in the distance. Reinforcements from the thieves have arrived! Everyone on the top of the city wall realized it, and their excitement was suppressed at once.

"It's coming so fast!" The history of the main record room said.

"The thieves are attacking the city!" Zhang Song muttered, and then loudly urged the five people assigned to him, asking them to hurry back and make the utensils.

Yang Xing, the county commander here, has ordered the young men to return to the top of the city wall to guard against the attack of thieves, and let the women, young men, and elderly men be responsible for carrying water to water the city wall.

The originally orderly scene immediately became a little chaotic, some people who were less courageous saw such a large group of thieves coming, their faces turned pale with fright, if it weren't for the county order Yang Xing repeatedly emphasized that those who disturbed the morale of the army would be beheaded, it is likely that some people would have to flee for their lives.

The thieves outside the city had put their ranks together in a matter of moments, and came to a place not far from the city wall with the sound of horses' hooves, and in the firelight, the arrogant and hideous faces of the thieves were faintly visible.

"Listen, all the people of the city, and open the gates of the city quickly! Otherwise, we will break through the gates and slaughter the city!" One of the thieves rode forward and shouted to the men at the top of the wall.

Under the order of the county commander Yang Xing, Li Shan stood up and shouted at the thieves: "You and other ugly people, who violate the peace of heaven and harm Li Yuan, will definitely take the head of Er, in order to obey the destiny of heaven, to comfort the head of Qian, how can there be any reason to abandon the city and surrender!" ”

These words were said by the serious Li Shan, which was righteous and strict, and it was very awe-inspiring.

When the thieves outside the city heard this, they were furious and immediately ordered the siege of the city. The menacing thieves shouted an unknown trumpet and rushed towards the city walls.

The watered walls showed their effect at this point, and the thieves could not climb up anyway, and after climbing a short section they fell down.

The young man on the city wall was relieved at this time, and under Yang Xing's command, he kept throwing stones down, smashing the thieves and screaming. Again and again, the thieves could not climb a foot above the wall, except for the many wounded, so they stopped and retreated to the camp.

The people on the wall rejoiced when they thought that the thieves were going to retreat. The county commander Yang Xing is about to show a smile on his face.

While the crowd on the walls was cheering and celebrating, the thieves returned again, this time with six ladders.

As soon as they saw this siege weapon, the smiles of the people on the city wall instantly froze on their faces, and the original cheers disappeared at once, and everyone's hearts sank to the bottom.

"Defend quickly and shoot them down with bows and arrows!" Zhang Song shouted loudly.

"Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrows! With stones! With stones! Whoever has a spear comes forward! The county commander Yang Xing was in a hurry and kept issuing orders.

"Where are the archers, why haven't you released the arrows?" The master bookkeeper shouted.

"Back to the long one, the arrows have run out!" Li Shan panted and ran to report.

The thieves outside the city had climbed up the city wall along six ladders set up side by side, swords in their mouths and smirks on their faces.

"Hurry up, come with me to get the water tank!" Zhang Song said as he ran to get a water shot, filled it with water, and shot a water shot at a thief.

The thief was soaking wet, and he didn't react at first, and continued to climb up, but then climbed more and more slowly, and finally fell down the ladder. The crowd was so uplifted by the sight that many of them shot water at the thieves with their water canisters.

Soon, a wide network of water was formed in front of the ladder, and the water that fell on the ladder became frozen, and the thieves were so soaked that they shivered incessantly, and their hands and feet became numb, and they climbed more and more slowly, and finally fell down the ladder.

At dawn, before a single thief had climbed to the top of the wall, the Wyvern finally gave up the siege and retreated towards his camp.

The people on the city wall cheered loudly together, Yang Xing looked at Zhang Song's eyes full of appreciation, even the representatives of the Li family and the Wang family looked at Zhang Song happily at this time.
