The screams of the thieves at the head of the city who were being hit by arrows suddenly frightened the thieves who were lighting fires in various earthen houses in the city to keep warm. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Enemy attack, enemy attack, Wu Guoguan and army are coming!!"

A thief ran up to the bell tower and slammed the bronze bell violently, and as the bell rang, countless thieves rushed to the head of Tucheng City, holding bows and arrows in their hands, and aimed their arrows at the eight thousand Wu troops who were only a hundred paces away.

"Fifty steps back, stand a shield !!"

Deng Yue seemed to have been prepared, and when the thieves rushed towards the head of Tucheng City, he had already given this order, and when the thieves at the head of Tucheng City shot the arrows in their hands, the Wu army had already erected a huge shield wall outside the best range of the defenders.

"Bang bang! Bang bang! Bang bang! ”

The arrows from the head of the city fell into the snow one after another under the impermeable shield wall, and these thieves seemed to have an innate fear of the officers and soldiers, and this deep-seated fear made the thieves at the head of the city go crazy, and shot the arrows in their quiver one after another.

The sound of arrows hitting shields was like a raging storm, resounding endlessly, breaking the dead silence of the original cold winter.

And Deng Yu didn't seem to have any intention of attacking the next step, just inducing the thieves on Tucheng to shoot frantically with arrows, and after this lasted for nearly half an hour, Deng Yue suddenly issued an order, so that the 7,500 foot soldiers who formed the shield wall in front of him slowly retreated.

In the severe cold weather, the thieves on the earth city shot arrows for half an hour, a pair of hands had already been broken, after the strength was exhausted, he felt extremely cold, and saw the Wu State officials and troops retreating, and they all put down their bows and arrows together, and let the officers and troops retreat.

After Deng Yu led 500 cavalry to 1,500 foot soldiers, he saw that the thieves in Tucheng had no intention of pursuing, smiled coldly, and then led the troops to retreat.

The thieves on Tucheng saw that all the officials and troops of Wu State had retreated, and immediately cheered happily, in the minds of their thieves, the official army was an invincible legend, not to mention, they heard that the commander who led the troops to suppress this time was Deng Yu, the king of Wu, who had been in the limelight in recent years.

Originally, the thieves thought that they were going to be hit violently, but they didn't expect that this Wu State official army was so anticlimactic, except for a round of shooting before, there was no attack after that, just blindly defending.

However, the name of the person, the shadow of the tree, and the so-called fame of the no-nonsense people, the officials and soldiers of the State of Wu acted like this, it was probably a feint bait, a trap to lure them into fishing.

Therefore, after thinking for a while, the leader of the thieves did not send troops to chase after him.

In the next two days, Deng Yu launched several attacks in a row, but each time it was thunder and rain, and after a slight attack, he defended to the death, and then retreated.

The leader of the thieves in Tucheng was annoyed by Deng Yu's several consecutive attacks, but he didn't dare to send troops out of the city to attack, and what made him even more heartwarming was that he didn't know what kind of medicine was being sold in the head of Deng Yu, the famous king of Wu.

On the other side of the hill, there is also a large earthen city, which has been unusually deserted compared to the bustle of their neighbors in the past few days.

In a large earthen house in Tucheng, a man wearing a fur coat and dressed as a scholar said to a big man with a pockmarked face sitting on the main seat: "Big boss, the cottage next door and the official army of Wu are fighting so hotly, we really don't want to help?" Dead lips and cold teeth, big boss! ”

"Mr. Luo, don't you rest assured, doesn't Li Laohu usually boast that his earth city is an impregnable wall? Moreover, the official army of the State of Wu attacked for several days, but they did not reach their Tucheng. What's more, in case the owner of the village leads the army to rescue, but the officials and troops of the Wu State suddenly attack, it is a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain by the officials and troops of the Wu State! ”

"What the big boss said does have some truth, but should we also be more vigilant in case of a surprise attack by the Wu State official army?"

"Hahaha, Mr. Luo, you are too worried, then the official army of Wu Guo is fighting with Li Laohu's people, how can they suddenly attack, and if they want to come, they will come a long time ago. Moreover, I don't think the combat power of the official army of the Wu State is very good, if the combat power is strong, they would have already leveled Li Laohu's Tucheng. So, Mr. Luo, you can rest assured! ”

"Well, this ghost weather is getting colder and colder, if it weren't for those wealthy merchants who sent people to send a lot of cold goods and food, I'm afraid that this winter, we would starve to death and freeze to death many brothers. Come, Mr. Luo, let's have a drink and warm up! ”

As he spoke, the pockmarked man stood up, walked to the brazier, picked up the flask that was hanging from the roast, poured hot wine into the two large bowls on the table, and handed him the man he called 'Mr. Luo'.

The man surnamed Luo took the wine bowl and said: "What the big boss said is that if the Wu Guoguan army is strong, how can it take so much time to entangle with Li Laohu, this weather is so cold that it can freeze the living, who doesn't want to end the battle early, stay in the house well, bake the fire, and drink wine to keep warm!" ”

"That's it, rest assured, rest assured! I don't think the official army of Wu State will be able to capture Li Laohu's Tucheng in more than ten days, before that, you and I just need to have a good time! ”

The pock-faced man had a calm and unhurried attitude, as if everything was in his expectation, he drank the hot wine in the bowl, and the wine hit his stomach, and immediately felt the coldness of his body swept away, and the whole muscles and bones that were originally blocked by the cold winter were regained their vitality.

"Ah, that's a good feeling!!"

This incomparable comfort couldn't help but make the pock-faced man moan.

As the saying goes, what kind of head you have, what kind of soldiers there are, the pock-faced man is not in a hurry, and the thieves under him are the same, hiding in groups of three or five, drinking and talking, without any nervousness.

The sound of Jin Ge fighting from the opposite hill from time to time only made them laugh, but did not make them nervous at all.

As the midwinter approached step by step, the number of thieves patrolling around this earthen city became fewer and fewer, gradually reducing from hundreds to dozens, and then from dozens to several.

After all, this cold weather is really terrifying, outside, a cold wind blows, it will be so cold that the vertebrae are painful, and the whole face seems to have been cut off.

And not far from Tucheng, a well-equipped Wu army of 5,000 people seemed to have been hidden for a long time.

"General Qiyu Zhendong, there are only five or six thieves patrolling this Tucheng, and the guards are extremely lax, just now the villain tried to get close slowly, the villains are almost under the Tucheng, these thieves have not yet discovered, and the villain hears that in Weng City, from time to time there will be laughter and scolding, listening to their voices and tones, it seems that they are all drinking for fun!"

"Good! Sure enough, as King Wu expected, these thieves slackened, and King Wu's strategy of attacking the west was really wonderful! The whole army listened to the order and attacked quickly, don't let down King Wu's hard work! ”

"Yes!!"
