Li He looked up at the sky, it was already past noon, he spat on the ground again, and said in a hard voice: "I'll try it, I still don't believe it, a village of thieves and thieves gathered together, and I have to use the means of the battle array to fight, that is too cost-effective, even if I don't earn this silver, I have to try." ”

After saying this, Li He muttered viciously and said: "If it was on the battle array, Lao Tzu would have already transferred the artillery, and as soon as the cannon passed, he immediately opened the thief's stockade!" ”

Li Dajin smiled and shook his head, this time he didn't speak.

The homeless people in the village are now somewhat stable, the battle on the wall just now, let them know that the seemingly simple bamboo spear assassination is very effective, even if the enemy is holding an iron weapon in his hand, and it is a fierce and vicious look, they are not without the power to fight back, the battle just now, except for one person who accidentally fell off the wall and was hacked to death by outsiders, the rest were not injured, but there were many results, and the morale was quite high.

Those Jianghu people who have doubts about Zhang Hubin are now convinced, just now they thought that it was time for them to go up to fight, but they didn't expect to be stopped by Zhang Hubin, except for the mixed group practice and obedience, everyone else was a little restless, thinking that they should not be on it, and the village would be finished as soon as it was broken.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Hubin blocked the attack like a homeless person, which made everyone's mind settle down a lot, originally thought that only his two or three hundred people could fight in this house, but now seeing that the homeless people also have combat power, he suddenly felt that his own side of the force has become stronger, and the certainty of holding it is much greater.

Everyone is relaxed, but Zhang Hubin on the wall is not a little relaxed, he has heard a lot of people tell about the attack and defense of the house, there are strong regimental training Xiangyong said how to defend, and there are also characters in the pole who said how to attack, monks and soldiers surrounded the He family compound, and went to Xuzhou with the team, Zhang Hubin also experienced, it is considered to have practical experience, but he still has no bottom in his heart, because the experience is too shallow.

When I was nervous, I watched the enemy get on my horse one after another, and instead of rushing straight over, the horse team turned to the other side.

"Xiao Zhuang, you lead people to keep an eye on this horse team, if they attack from elsewhere, you immediately transfer people to garrison, don't show their heads, let them get close to the wall and then do it!" Zhang Hubin turned around and shouted, that Xiaozhuang is a team leader of Zhao Ziying's main team, and when he heard the greeting, he agreed loudly, and shouted people to run quickly along the inside of the wall.

"Everyone spread out and hid, and prepared a basin of water in their hands, the enemy is going to set fire!" Zhang Hubin suddenly shouted again.

You can see the enemy team busy for a while, see the smoke rising, and after a while, there are people at the distance of an arrow to the left and right braziers and fires, and then the archers come out of the line, ready to open their bows and arrows.

"Leader Zhang, let's shoot back, we will stand tall, we must be farther away than them!" A charlatan said eagerly.

Zhang Hubin shook his head, looking at the other party and wanting to say more, he opened his mouth to explain: "Even if we shoot far, the archers are far inferior to them, and we can't fight, and we will lose one for the other." ”

The man thought about it, but changed the topic and said, "Leader Zhang, will Master Jin come to save us, why haven't you seen any movement?" ”

"Of course I will come to the rescue, it will take more than two days for you to ride a fast horse here in Xuzhou, and it is possible for Jin Ye to come so quickly." Zhang Hubin told the truth, and the man smashed the wall with his fist stupidly, and said hatefully: "It seems that this time I have to fight!" ”

"If you want to fight, if you don't fight, there will be nothing!" Zhang Hubin said in a sullen voice.

Zhang Hubin looked out again in the gap in the bunker of the wall, turned around and said: "Tell everyone who can shoot arrows, don't stand up and open your bow, as long as the enemy is close, shoot an arrow back, don't open your bow without eighty percent certainty!" ”

It was not so easy to shoot rockets, the archers put strips of cloth on the arrowheads, dipped them in some grease, and then lined up in a line, and under the orders of the generals, they lit them in the brazier and fire, and then opened their bows and arrows, and fired them in unison.

The first round of arrows fell, and a small half landed in the clearing, and the rest hit the shacks and bunkers near the wall, after all, the enemy archers still had to keep some distance from the wall.

The people inside the wall had already been hidden, and they had prepared wooden basins and barrels full of water at hand, and when the first round of arrows rained down, they hurried out to put out the fire, and when the basin of water went down, the little fire on the arrows was immediately extinguished.

Listening to the fact that there was no movement inside, the archers outside changed their methods again, first wrapping the arrows with strips of cloth and dipping them with ignition materials, and then igniting and firing them, with no interval between each round.

This time there were casualties in the stockade, the first round of arrow rain sprinkled, everyone subconsciously came out to put out the fire, but the second round of arrow rain followed, and then the third round, some people couldn't dodge, were shot by arrows, screams, but the effect of the rocket fire is very general, the weather has been slightly warmer, the land is also civilized, the moisture of the barren beach wetland is very heavy, the grass on the shack is not easy to ignite, the interval between the three arrows is not so much, a small fire is quickly extinguished.

Moreover, the archers keep a distance from the wall, and the range they can shoot is only a small part of the wall and the wall, and the damage is very limited.

"The thieves are coming over here, and the sixth and seventh groups are ready!" On the other side of the wall, there was a shout, and the horses that had been out of the way were about to dismount.

After Zhao Jin took in the displaced people, he began to give them simple military training, and when they came to the village, this group of displaced people was the best trained group, and they were divided into 20 groups, each group of 100 people, ready to listen to the command at any time.

There is a place where the rocket can't reach, and when I hear the greeting, there are immediately homeless people in each shack pouring out, each holding a sharpened bamboo pole and bamboo gun, and come to the edge of the wall, and the bamboo gun can already be seen outside.

"Go back and prepare, the thief is on the horse again!" The loud shouting reached Zhang Hubin's ears, and he knew that this was the enemy testing and looking for an opportunity.

The line of archers over there did not continue to fire rockets, but there they wrapped strips of cloth around the arrows and made rockets, and when someone from the enemy's own team came running over to give orders, the ranks of archers began to move forward, carrying braziers and various utensils, and it seemed that they were going to draw their bows closer.

Ten paces later, as soon as the first few archers stopped, the roar of arrows broke through the air in the direction of the stockade.

Screaming repeatedly, the three of them were hit by arrows, and they fell directly to the ground, the archers were stunned first, and then turned their heads and ran back, from the beginning to the present, the stockade used boiling water, bamboo guns, bows and arrows to shoot an arrow and did not pay much attention, so that they did not care about the bows and arrows in the stockade, who would have thought that it would be suddenly launched at this time, and it was not a bow.

After being stunned, the brazier or something was thrown down directly, everyone turned around and ran, and a few arrows shot out in the direction of the wall, two people were shot in the back and fell to the ground, and the others were far away and did not dare to approach.

"Master, the other sides of the stockade are staring closely, and there is no hole to drill!" The horse team that had just come out of the queue came back again, and a big man reported on the horse.

Li He's face was even more ugly, just now the village suddenly counterattacked with bows and arrows, and after the archers broke and retreated, his face was already very ugly, and this report was even worse.

"You just got off the horse, what is the response inside?" Li Dajin asked in a deep voice.

The big man on horseback had a lot of respect for Li Dajin, and hurriedly replied: "Subordinate"

"I can't control you for a long time, just say it." Li Dajin waved his hand and said with a smile.

"As soon as we got off the horse, there was shouting in the stockade, and then we could see a lot of people coming with bamboo guns, and everywhere we were, and we couldn't find a place to start," the big man replied.

Li Dajin nodded slowly, Li He's face was almost dark, and he gritted his teeth there and said: "Let the brothers eat first, go to bed early, and wait for dark before doing anything, these thieves must be blind at night, let's touch them at night!" ”

The big man who reported listened to the order, Li Dajin did not continue to speak, but looked up at the sky, and the sun was about to set.

As soon as it was dark, the Feng family's brigade began to prepare for the night, some people collected firewood, some went to hunt, some people camped and settled, in addition to these people, there were dozens of people who did not dismount, and surrounded the village to monitor, in case the village sent people out to report the news.

The wall is still on guard, and the inside of the wall is also busy, collecting the arrows that come in, and tearing down the shacks around the wall, and the gate of the wall has been blocked with earth, and now it needs to be reinforced, and all the containers that can collect water are used and filled with water.

Zhang Hubin called more than a dozen Zhao Ziying members of the team together, leaving only one person to suppress the scene, and they gathered in a pile to discuss in a low voice.

"Who's better at riding a horse?" Zhang Hubin asked this sentence first.

"You can ride, but you can't ride well." Everyone had the same answer.

The veterans of the Zhao Zi battalion can ride horses, but they can't talk about how they ride, Zhang Hubin naturally understands this truth, and said in a muffled voice: "Who rides the best?" ”

Everyone looked at each other, all pointing to one person, Zhang Hubin nodded, turned his head to look around, and said in a low voice: "It is estimated that there will be a big fight tomorrow, you can ride a horse and go first." ”

The chosen person was stunned for a moment, then immediately became anxious, glared and roared: "Why should I go, I am not a bad seed." ”

"Who said that you are a bad seed, now you have to report to the master, yesterday the thieves outside washed the sentry or something, we can't let the slightest news not get out!" Zhang Hubin said sternly.

The man nodded sullenly, Zhang Hubin looked around and said: "There are more thieves than us, it looks like some old soldiers, this time I'm afraid there will be big trouble, I guess we have to fight!" “

Everyone's faces were not very good-looking, but they also felt that what Zhang Hubin said was true, Zhang Hubin looked left and right, and said with a dry smile: "Several masters were attacked on the side of Gaojiazhuang, and the eighth master died at that time, and I was the only one left among the old brothers at that time. ”

After saying this, Zhang Hubin felt that the atmosphere was not quite right, and asked with a smile: "Are you afraid of death?" ”
