Although Ma Tan's strategy is one link after another, the first step can be said to be quite important to implement. If the first step is not successful, all the rest of the follow-ups will be zero.

Thinking of this, I had to turn my attention to Zheng Liang again.

Zheng Liang's day is equivalent to running a round trip between Hanshou County and Dongting Port, and he can be said to be more fatigue than anyone else. But when he saw that I turned my eyes to him, he immediately showed a very excited expression, and before I could speak, he raised his hand and said to me eagerly: "My lord, I will go!" ”

Although sometimes I think that Zheng Liang's rudimentary form as a famous general is sometimes a little overjoyed, no matter who he is afraid of in the face of opportunities and merits, then he will be broken by others sooner or later.

But now is obviously not the time to discourage him, and now the people around me are indeed the best for him, and this task is the most appropriate for him.

I didn't bring much out of Wuling City this time in order to travel lightly, but fortunately, Ma Tan, as a guy with a high IQ, had writing utensils with him. He found a relatively flat rock, tore off a small strip of relatively large paper by origami, and carefully wrote a line with a brush -- General Huang had brought 10,000 people to the rescue, and the time would come, so he hoped to be ready to respond.

After writing it, he sealed it in a small bamboo tube he had brought with him, and there was a thin rope on it, and Ma Jian handed it to Zheng Liang, telling him to let it fall when it was time to fall.

Zheng Liang also knew that this matter was of great significance, so he nodded heavily and turned over on his horse, while the rest of us left these people left both sides of the road according to Ma Yan's strategy, and found a suitable place to monitor Hanshou City in a hidden and clear way, and prepared for the next big fight.

Zheng Liang tied the bamboo tube to his body, and then slapped his horse and rushed to the foot of Hanshou City. The unitary time is about 5 to 7 o'clock in the afternoon, and there are still a few hours before the unitary time. The reason why the arrival time of the reinforcements was pushed later was that this time should be the time when the reinforcements arrived in Wuling City instead of Hanshou City, because theoretically speaking, even if the reinforcements came quickly, it was impossible to know that I was in Hanshou City now, so the letter must have stated the time of arrival in Wuling County, so it was more real. Second, if Shamoke knew that the reinforcements from Changsha were coming here so soon, it was likely that he would retreat directly, and I would also leave him a chance to venture into Hanshou County.

Sure enough, Zheng Liang's sudden appearance almost immediately attracted the attention of the barbarians, because there were not many barbarian sentry in charge of the "siege", so Zheng Liang simply made a full play, and unceremoniously stabbed a barbarian who came to intercept him with a spear in his hand.

How could a few barbarians in charge of guarding could be Zheng Liang's opponents, they rushed over quickly, and they were stabbed off their horses quickly. By the time Shamoke personally rode his horse and led the people out of the camp, Zheng Liang had already passed through the area under their control and rushed towards Wuling.

His next task was to pretend to drop the bamboo tube for Shamoko to pick up, and induce him to desperately attack the city, while the rest of us would swoop out and defeat him when they were exhausted.

It's just that I have to say that although this plan is wonderful, there are also many restrictions in it. The first thing is to choose a strongman who can not only leak a trace of the lost bamboo tube but also not get caught. This strongman is Zheng Liang, because of him, so this can barely be achieved. But the sequelae that comes with it is that because the only military general I can fight next to me is Zheng Liang, Ma Jian is just a strategist, and my own charging ability can only reach the point where I will not fall off on the horse after a long period of study, so if the barbarians are tricked, my ability to raid will be greatly reduced. The result of my discussion with Ma Tan on this point was to let Zheng Liang come back after getting rid of or disposing of the pursuers, and choose the time to attack from behind the barbarians, and the time he chose to raid was the time when our people rushed up to raid.

Seeing that Zheng Liang got rid of Shamoke's pursuit as planned, and seeing that Shamoke seemed to be picking up something, I looked at Ma Jian and smiled, knowing that this strategy was half successful.

The other half is the second limitation, and that is the problem of Shamoko's IQ. Originally, this question should not be a problem, not to mention that Shamoko is just a barbarian, and he should not have much IQ, even if he is an ordinary general, in the context of eagerly capturing me, he will definitely attack the city in a hurry when he hears that enemy reinforcements are coming.

Sure enough, Shamoke did not disappoint me, and in less than a stick of incense, he exhausted all the soldiers in the village or the camp, and did not leave even a single watchman, and began to attack Hanshou City.

If you want to attack the city, you must have siege weapons, although Hanshou City is small, the city walls are not tall, but the barbarians obviously don't even have ladders, so their siege weapons, there are only dozens of people left carrying a huge tree cut from nowhere, desperately rushing to the city gate to try to knock it open.

There was almost no cover along the way, and although the garrison of Hanshou City had decreased slightly due to the long period of maintenance, they still responded immediately to the siege of the barbarians.

There weren't many garrisons in a small county town, let alone archers to defend the city. Fortunately, the siege troops under the city were also purely amateur, so although the firepower on the city was not up to the standard of arrows raining down, the barbarians who were carrying huge trees and preparing to attack the city still quickly fell to the ground with arrows.

With Shamoko's roar, more brutes began to join the ranks of the giant trees, and shield soldiers began to run ahead to defend them from the arrows.

Finally, at the cost of hundreds of casualties, Shamoko's team of laborers finally carried the giant tree to the city gates. However, the closer these barbarians were to the city gate, the higher the hit rate of the archers in the city, although there were shield soldiers to cover them, but because the barbarians did not have ladders to attack the city, and because there were no archers in the ranks of the army that could be in a hurry, and there were no archers who could shoot at the city to suppress them, the archers in the city were completely as unscrupulous as practicing shooting targets. However, although the other soldiers armed with guns and halberds were also fully armed, they were obviously playing soy sauce and were useless.

As the siege continued, more and more soldiers fell under Hanshou City, but they also slammed the gates with giant logs. If this is Wuling City, I dare to guarantee, with this level of siege weapons, it will not be able to break the city gate at all, but the city gate of Hanshou City is much smaller than that of Wuling City, and it can be seen from the fact that the soldiers in the city except for the archers began to disappear one after another, Xie Xian's old man has the same opinion as me, and his soldiers must have been assigned to the city to help top the city gate.

I think it's almost time, the brute has been banging on the door for a while, and in terms of physical strength, whether it's carrying the giant tree or covering him, he should be tired. If I don't raid again, if the barbarians break open the gates, the morale will be greatly increased, and then it will be counterproductive to attack again.

However, at this time, the soldiers who had disappeared before on Hanshou City now appeared again. I wonder why they didn't go to the top gate of the city and came back, if they were knocked open by the barbarians, this little force in Hanshou City would definitely not be enough!

But soon I could see that above the city gate, the soldiers seemed to have brought something from the top of the city, and it looked like a huge iron pot, and before I could figure out what it did, the iron pot fell from the top of the city.

It seemed to be a liquid like oil and smashed down like the big iron pot. The impact of the giant tree immediately stopped, and I guessed that the oil-like liquid must have been piping hot, for everyone it splashed on the ground rolled in pain. Not to mention those who were smashed by a big iron pot, it seems that they were directly scrapped in the local area.

Of course, this was not the end, and soon there was a second pot and a third pot in the city. By the time the three pots were smashed, the siege troops under the city were already in chaos.

But that wasn't the end of it, the archers in the city began to stop firing, and soon each of them was given a rocket that had already been ignited. Ma Tan and I glanced at each other, and we could both see the deep shock in each other's eyes.

Both of us could guess what the fate of these dozens of rockets would be for the oil-stained and non-oil-stained barbarians in the city.
