The sound of killing in the city of Qian County was loud, and after a short time, Lu Ze had already returned, and it was obvious that the strong men of the Hao and Zheng families had been killed. Everyone didn't ask too much, and the Qin army led by two or five hundred lords had already arrived at the city. Seeing that the county had changed hands, the two or five hundred lords scolded bitterly: "Wen Shang, I have a heart to heart with you, you who are making trouble, you deserve to die." ”

Wen Shang didn't answer, and he was a little ashamed, but for the sake of Amei, he could only do this. Zhou Bo scolded: "Now that Qian County has been captured by our Pei army, you still don't surrender?" ”

Among these Qin soldiers, many of them were natives of Qian County, and when they heard this, they were a little shaken, after all, their parents, wives and children were still in the city.

"Hugh is nonsense!" Seeing that the army's heart was fluctuating, these two or five hundred lords were shocked and reprimanded: "When I break the city, I will kill you first." Immediately, he gave the order: "Siege!" ”

"Siege?" Many soldiers were very hesitant, and one of the hundred generals said bitterly: "Two or five hundred lords, how can we attack the city, we attacked the camp and went out of the city, and we didn't bring anything like a ladder at all." ”

Just when the Qin army outside the city was at a loss, Zhou Bo also ordered, "Archer, release the arrow!" "Having captured Qian County, he will naturally open the arsenal, although the current Pei army does not have an advantage in numbers, but these bows and arrows are sufficient.

Round after round of arrows rained down like a downpour, and many Qin soldiers were killed by sharp arrows.

The two or five hundred lords were furious in their hearts, but they were helpless, it was obviously impossible to attack the city, he gritted his teeth and said with hatred: "Withdraw, pass the order, and withdraw all the bows and arrows." ”

"No!"

The Qin army began to retreat rapidly, and the already floating military spirit became even more unstable. Seeing the retreat of the Qin army, Zhou Bo was also relieved. The Qin army, which did not have siege equipment, could not pose a threat to Qian County for the time being, however, the situation in the city still needed to be suppressed. After all, Pei Jun is an outsider, even with the help of the Xiahou family, even if he has killed Wu County Ling and slaughtered the Hao and Zheng families, there are still some small families or chivalrous people who are loyal to the county order and have organized a counterattack of more than 100 people.

For these stubborn people, Zhou Bo still slaughtered them like a butcher. The streets under the entire city tower are already strewn with corpses, and they are terrible to see. At the same time, Zhou Bo also ordered Xiahou Jie to arrange for the Xiahou family to patrol the city, and once they found any abnormal people or rumors, they would be brutally suppressed.

The results of this simple but violent approach were obvious, and the people of the entire county finally settled down, at least on the surface, and no longer dared to hate Peijun. Of course, Zhou Bo also knows the disadvantages of his high-pressure methods, and he may lose the hearts of the people, but he has to do so.

The night finally passed, and the Qin army did not attempt to attack the city again. In the early morning, the county was deserted, and the people closed their doors. Some small clans who are good friends with the Xiahou family have gone to Xiahou Mansion one after another, because Xiahou Jie deliberately sprained his ankle, and at this moment he has been recuperating in the clan. These small families are also here to probe the wind, they are the grass on the wall, whether it is the two or five hundred lords outside the city, or Zhou Bo, if anyone can finally occupy Qian County, they will support whom.

Xiahou Jie also knew the thoughts of these small families, and he said with a smile: "The situation is already very clear, this time Qiao County will be occupied by Pei Gong." I have explained to you that if you want to take refuge, you need to make a decision as soon as possible. ”

The elders of these small families all looked at each other, although they had always befriended the Xiahou family, but now that the war has not subsided, Xiahou Jie is inevitably a little hasty. However, thinking that Peijun had the assistance of the Xiahou family this time, and they all understood Xiahou Jie, this was a big gamble. After these clan elders left, they had their own thoughts, and there were also several families who believed in Xiahou Jie's words, and these families immediately surrendered to Zhou Bo, of course, there were more families waiting and watching.

And outside the city, the Qin army, which could not attack the city last night, came to the city again, and after a night of preparation, the Qin army also cut down the giant wood to make a cone-shaped crashing wood, and the intention of the two or five hundred lords was obvious, that is, to break the city gate of Qian County. Under the military order, the Qin army braved the rain of arrows in the sky, and slammed into the city gate one after another with the bumping wood.

However, the two or five hundred lords were disappointed, under a battle, the Qin army suffered many casualties, but the city gate of Qian County was as stable as a mountain. By noon, the dry food of the Qin army was already in an emergency, and everyone never thought that Qian County would be captured, so they did not prepare food and grass when they attacked the camp.

Under the double pressure of defeat and lack of food, the morale of the army, which was no longer stable, gradually became weakened. The Qin soldiers in Qian County were also worried about their relatives in the city, and the wind of wanting to surrender also spread among the army. Under the anger of the two or five hundred lords, they immediately beheaded three people, but it was precisely because of this that they completely angered the people of Qianxian County.

Under the leadership of a hundred generals, these people of Qiaoxian immediately swung their swords at the two or five hundred lords. Seeing this, the two or five hundred lords also fled in panic, after all, there were very few Qin people in these city guards, and he was not defeated at all. Seeing the two or five hundred lords fleeing, the soldiers of Qian County no longer pursued, and they all surrendered to Zhou Bo.

At this point, the battle of Qiaoxian has also ended, and Xiahoujie's contribution can be described as extreme. Zhou Bo was not a jealous person, he honestly wrote the battle process on the animal skin, and then ordered someone to send it to Pei County quickly. And those who surrendered from Qian County, Zhou Bo let Lu Ze have been incorporated into the Pei army. Similarly, in order to stabilize the people's hearts, he also learned from Liu Yuan and distributed all the land and property of the two families.

However, the reputation of the Zhou butcher made the people tremble, and few dared to accept the land. For this reason, the small families who took the lead in taking refuge in Zhou Bo also began to develop the so-called public opinion, they ordered people to spread the bad deeds of the two families everywhere in the city, and at the same time, compared with a series of benevolent policies of Pei Gong, so that many people gradually accepted the fact that Pei Jun captured Qian County.

Knowing the propaganda of the small families, Zhou Bo was also pleased, and he also specially ordered someone to give a part of the land to these families. This makes those clan elders laugh and can't close their mouths, and having land means that the population increases, there are more people, and the family is naturally bigger. The first of these small clans to take refuge were rejoicing, while those who were watching were annoyed.

But when they thought that Zhou Bo had just captured Qian County and needed the support of various families, they were also like grasping a life-saving straw, and they all rushed to be loyal. Zhou Bo did not refuse, he had already made the people scruple and fear because of the reputation of Zhou Butcher, so the only way to consolidate the people's hearts was to control one family after another.

This is very different from Pei County, where Liu Yuan is beneficial to the people and benevolent to the people. Peijun, who was originally mainly based on the common people, may also integrate more children of the family after Qiaoxian, which Liu Yuan had not calculated before.

Thank you for the reward of Dragon Soul and Xianyun Wild Crane!
