The scouts of Yangguan controlled the area thirty miles north of Yangguan, and as the time entered November, the range of activities of the scouts was gradually reduced. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After being ambushed twice in a row, Jian Chen withdrew all his scouts, and divided more than thirty cavalry to withdraw to Xia City, allowing them to clear the possible enemies around Xia City.

Since you don't choose to fight in the field immediately, you don't need scouts to control the battlefield, and in the era when there is no radio, don't think about ambushing in advance and waiting for the opportunity to attack the camp.

No matter how stupid the other side is, they will send scouts to scout the surrounding woodland, and according to the scouts, there are a lot of people on the other side, so it is better to keep their cavalry to pursue and defeat the soldiers after the battle.

On the second day of the scout's retreat to Yangguan, on the third day of the first month of November, the army of the grassland tribe finally approached Yangguan, and Chen Jian did not have any clever plan to ambush in the woods in advance before and after a cannon fire, so he directly asked everyone to retreat to Yangguan, and burned the slave market in the east and the nearby wild people's houses, and closed the city gate.

Far away, you could hear the neighing of horses and the roar of people, and several riders ran to the city with their superb riding skills, shouted a few curses, and threw a few severed hand bones at the city.

Jian Chen didn't bother to scold back, so he directly asked the scouts to cut off a few heads, and then let the archers shoot a few arrows to drive away the riders who came and went.

There are only 20,000 arrows, so you have to save a little, use up to half during the defense of the city, and keep the rest for the enemy when he is tired and counterattacking.

The four guards of the same clan blocked Chen Jian with shields, and several figures in the army followed him up to the city wall, observing the surrounding situation, and they were all secretly smacking their tongues, they didn't expect so many people from the grassland tribe to come.

As soon as the number of people exceeds a few thousand, it seems to be extremely large, and the number of people in the city can be counted to 10,000, but it is the first time that I have really seen so many people intuitively.

Soon the men below were divided into two teams and camped along the diagonal of the city, with a large number of people in the northwest and a few hundred in the southeast, probably just to contain the scattered defenders of the city.

Even though the people in the city were very confident, they were a little uneasy when they suddenly saw the big scene of thousands of people. After listening to Chen Jian tell a few jokes and stories, he gradually relaxed and separated step by step.

The first group of men to defend the city walls were less than two hundred, with an average of one person for every two meters, and the rest were resting in the city waiting for rotation.

The houses in the castle are also arranged in a neat manner like that of Natsu Castle, and the roads are wide and the support is very convenient.

Two miles northwest of the city, Da Wu and the others stood beside their father, looked at Xia Cheng from a distance, and counted the people who were a little sparse on the city wall.

The old leader snorted coldly: "There are not many people, it's just that the city wall is a little troublesome, let's camp for the time being, and you all go back and think about how you can climb the city wall." Whoever it is, come up with a way to reward twenty sheep. ”

The falling star in the distance listened to these words, and the corners of his mouth showed a sneer imperceptibly.

He has a way, but he can't look down on twenty sheep.

Not long after coming to the grassland, he had already seen that Da Wu was the real powerful leader, at least when rewarding the clansmen, he would never be so careless, and he took refuge in Da Wu, and he knew very well what to do at this time.

When Dawu came back and arranged to set up camp, Luoxing quietly walked to Dawu's side, drew the shape of a ladder on the ground with a wooden stick, and said, "Dawu chief, you can chop some wood to make a ladder, the city wall is not high, we can climb up with a ladder." ”

Luoxing has seen ladders, and there were ladders on the star-picking platform of his tribe at the beginning, but the people of these grassland tribes have not seen the city yet, and they rarely use ladders, so they didn't think of it at all.

Da Wu looked at the ladder drawn on the ground, nodded approvingly, and said, "Good way, but why didn't you say it just now?" ”

"I belong to Dawu, and of course Dawu must say this kind of thing to convince the rest of the leaders. For me, however, it was only twenty sheep, and in the eyes of Dawu, others were more convinced than twenty sheep. ”

Da Wu patted Luoxing's shoulder with satisfaction and said, "This method of yours can be worth two hundred sheep. I'll keep it in mind. ”

But instead of going to his father's camp at once, he told his people to cut down the trees and tie a ladder with bark and vines to make sure that they were usable, and came to the camp in the evening when the chiefs had gathered together after the camps of the various tribes had been settled.

All sorts of bizarre ideas were boiling in the camp, and there were endless ways to pile up a piece of wood by a man, climb up on a man's shoulder, kill some horses and climb up on a horse.

The old leader frowned and said, "What kind of idea is this?" Dawu, why don't you say a word? Even if others say something bad, they always think of it, why don't you think of anything? ”

The two elder brothers immediately followed up with a few words, and it sounded as if they were just accusing the younger brother of inaction.

The ladder was outside, but Da Wu didn't sneer or smile lightly, but frowned and said, "Father, I thought of a way, but I don't know if it's good or not." ”

"Tell me about it. No one will laugh at you if you say something wrong. ”

Da Wu quietly glanced at his two elder brothers and his father, and when he was assigning camp in the morning, his father asked his two elder brothers to take some people from the small settlement to the southeast corner, and left himself here, obviously preparing for his own people to attack the city first.

Luoxing came up with a ladder, and he needed to use the ladder to achieve his goals, so he couldn't sneer in order to slap his brother's face, but deliberately frowned.

Turning around and shouting a few words, Hammer carried the ladder to the camp, the ladder leaned towards a tree, the old leader's eyes suddenly lit up, this is indeed a good way, but he didn't see much of the trees, so he didn't come up with it.

The people of the surrounding tribes were also talking, obviously shocked by Dawu's thoughts, and several leaders coughed dissatisfiedly as they listened to the discussion of the clansmen.

The old leader looked at the ladder and said, "This is a good way, and when the battle is over, twenty sheep can be divided from the spoils of war for you." ”

Da Wu hurriedly bowed down and said, "Father, this is not the way I came up with, it was my clansman Luo Xing who came up with it, I hope you can give him the sheep." ”

He deliberately spoke loudly to make sure that people other than those around him could hear it, and the old leader hummed noncommittally, "Falling stars? Is that the one who came to you to offer the iron sword? After the battle, if he found a way to smelt the iron sword, there would be no shortage of sheep. It's a good idea, I thought you came up with it, but I didn't expect it to be ......"

Da Wu lowered his head and smiled awkwardly, scratching the back of his head, and the leaders and his brother were satisfied, and echoed: "This is a good idea, this falling star should be rewarded." ”

Deliberately did not mention Dawu, but the clansmen of the surrounding tribes did not think so, in their opinion, the leader is the leader, but the leader is still different, it is said that the people of Dawu can get a lot of spoils every time, but they can't. And if he doesn't talk about the ladder, no one knows that this is the method that Luoxing came up with, and Da Wu still doesn't take the credit for Luoxing.

Twenty sheep is not much, and even if they are not the leaders, some warriors do not look down on them, but what is behind the twenty sheep is very important to them.

After Dawu said this, he smiled and said, "Father, not only do we have ladders, but Hammer said that those people have shields that can block feather arrows, and we can also learn to do some." ”

"Shield?"

Hammer hurriedly ran back, and brought back a large shield made of rattan weaving, covered with a layer of skin on the outside and a layer of animal skin on the inside, and made a defensive posture in front of him, and the eyes of the leaders lit up.

"Hammer, shoot an arrow."

Hammer took out his bow, stood thirty paces away, half-drawn, and pointed an arrow at the rattan shield, the arrow pierced into the skin and rattan, and did not penetrate, and the tail of the arrow was still trembling.

Several leaders were secretly surprised, what they were most worried about was that their clansmen would be killed by the feather arrows in the city, but with this thing, it seemed that they could really block the feather arrows.

Da Wu hit the railroad while it was hot: "Father, take a break tonight, there are not many of them, early tomorrow morning, my son will lead people to climb the city wall, seize their leader, and snatch back everything we have lost!" Clay their leaders to the wood! ”

The old leader chuckled in his heart, everything he had lost ...... Not just the loved ones, but also the golden skull. If Da Wu was allowed to attack first, Da Wu's reputation was already very loud in the grassland, and only Da Wu's clansmen killed the scouts on the opposite side a few days ago, if they could capture the city again this time......

Besides, the Golden Skull is not the most important thing, because of hatred, the old leader can finally rule these tribes in the name of the word, and this is the best time to create his own prestige.

Looking at Dawu's somewhat fanatical eyes, the two elder brothers hurriedly shouted: "Father, they are the enemies of the entire grassland, and the shield is extremely heavy, it is not that the warriors can't climb the city with the shield in one hand and the other, it is better to find the strongest warriors in each tribe tomorrow and rush to the city wall while the dawn is shining, otherwise if they fail, they will laugh at them!" We not only shed blood in the grassland, but also left a disgrace, and it is an insult to us for the people in the city to live one more day. ”

The old leader hummed and said, "Okay, the hatred is not for you alone. Let each tribe choose the best warriors to climb the city, and the rest shoot arrows to cover it, prepare a leather shield and wooden ladder tonight, and capture the city early tomorrow morning! Whoever ascends the city first will be rewarded with thirty slaves! ”

Da Wu sighed a little disappointedly, said no more, and couldn't help but laugh for a long time when he returned to his camp.

Hammer said that the other side was strong, and he believed; Luoxing is also a very powerful person, but he was chased like a rabbit by the other party.

If there were no ladder shields, their own tribe would definitely take the lead, and when they were consumed to the point where they were left, someone would replace them and rush to the wall.

The combined population of the two elder brothers was not as good as his own, and his father did not worry about them at all, because his father was not too old and would be the leader for a long time; If he is already very old and dying, he will have a different attitude towards himself, and maybe he will find a way to make himself stronger.

"If you want to rush up first, then you can try it."

Dawu laughed a few times, returned to the tent and called Hammer and Luoxing, and selected dozens of clansmen for Hammer to lead and attack the city early tomorrow morning.

Hammer said loudly: "Leader Dawu, I will definitely rush to the front early tomorrow morning, and tomorrow the warriors of all tribes will gather, and they will see the bravery of our tribe." ”

Da Wu shook his head and said, "I called you here to tell you to rush slowly." Luo Xing said that there were more than 500 of them at the beginning, do you really think you can rush up at one time? ”

"But...... If you rush slowly, you will be laughed at by other tribes. ”

"Let the people make some ladders and shields for them. Tomorrow morning, even if you want to rush to the front, you won't have a chance, just watch. (To be continued.) )
