Xiao Daocheng walked out of the barracks, saw off Captain Chen, and came to the camp.

"Today, we will send out both alcohol and meatloaf, one per person, a ration of alcohol, and unlimited meatloaf. We must accumulate more military merits, and we may be able to pay homage to the prime minister in the future. ”

Immediately, there was a burst of cheers in the barracks, and when they heard the feudal marquis's worship and military exploits, all the soldiers were enthusiastic and their morale was high.

"Master Xie."

At this time, the imperial army had not yet been completely corrupted, and the rewards for meritorious deeds were still very strict, which was very attractive to most people.

"How's the horse worn?" After many days of frequent practice, some horses were damaged, also in order to weed out inferior horses.

"The loss is about 1 out of 10, and the injured horses are allowed to be sold."

"Very good"

It was almost dusk, and the smell of meat had already floated out of the barracks, and the soldiers in the barracks were all drooling, because they had not eaten meat before. When I was a soldier, it was already very good to eat enough coarse grains.

Only at this time, Xiao Daocheng thought about the needs of the soldiers, and then said, "Are there any horses that are seriously injured and do not heal?" ”

"Yes, a horse."

"Kill, give everyone in the camp a bowl of broth today, cook it more thickly, and fight in a few days, eat more, and have the strength to fight."

"No"

"In this way, the morale will be high!"

Although the horse meat is coarse, but it is rotten, it is all good broth, those who eat coarse grains, I don't know how long they have not eaten meat, they all laughed and received a bowl of broth, more than 1,000 people in the barracks, it was enough to use up the meat of this horse, to satisfy them.

"Xiao Qianhu!"

After drinking the broth, Xiao Daocheng was immediately welcomed, and they all took the initiative to salute him and thank him.

Xiao Daocheng responded with a slight smile, understanding that these people were already willing to accept his dispatch, so that they could unify their steps and truly command like an arm.

The broth also shows that the commander is willing to give the credit to everyone, and as long as everyone fights hard to kill the enemy, they will definitely be rewarded for their use.

It was getting dark, and the surroundings of the barracks were quiet. Scattered people patrolled the barracks, and the soldiers guarding the guard towers and the guards everywhere also yawned lazily and stretched.

In the dense forest, one by one black shadows quietly left the barracks under the cover of night.

No one could have imagined that the barracks, which was noisy during the day, would become an empty camp at night, and more than a thousand cavalry would disappear.

Xiao Dao became to avoid the whereabouts of the officers and soldiers from being revealed, and specially instructed the cavalry of the whole army to wrap the hooves of the cavalry in cloth, so that the footsteps of the horse's hooves would become lighter, and there would be no horse prints, and if you didn't identify them carefully, it would be easy to ignore these traces.

Taking advantage of the dark night, he left the scope of Nanyang City, and under the dark night, he went straight to Xinyi County with a murderous spirit.

.........

Outside Xinyi County.

After days of siege battles, Xinyi County's defensive forces have been crumbling and seem to be about to collapse.

This group of rabble of displaced people, they have never fought such a strong battle, due to the shortage of food, they are unable to train this group of displaced people, in a hurry, there is also a lack of siege weapons.

Facing the heavily defended city walls, rushing up in a haphazard manner only increased casualties.

In the face of bows and arrows, rolling logs, boiling water, etc. at the head of the city, the first echelon of 5,000 displaced people suffered heavy casualties before they could get close to the city wall, and had to retreat in defeat.

Seeing the displaced people who receded like a tide, Cheng Cheng couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief from Xinyi County, the county magistrate at the head of the city.

Lei Chuan, who was in charge of commanding the siege, stared at the defeated recruits, his face was gloomy and terrifying.

Lei Chuan knew that his command was a group of displaced people who had just trained, and their combat effectiveness was low and their morale was low, so he had to let the Overseer team carry swords and force them to continue the siege.

"Attack again!"

"No!"

Soon, the second battalion will personally lead 5,000 recruits, and the soldiers of the first battalion will once again rush towards the city wall of Xinyi County with murderous spirit.

"These thieves are really not giving up."

Seeing the homeless anti-thieves who were shouting and surging over again, the county commander of Xinyi County couldn't help but curse secretly.

Soon, recruits armed with rudimentary wooden shields and spears quickly arrived at the city.

"Shoot!" Facing the approaching homeless people, Cheng Xianling ordered with red eyes.

The archers gathered on the city wall also quickly drew their bows and shot arrows, and clusters of arrows poured down the city.

"Poof!"

"Poof"

The muffled sound of the outcasts under the city being pierced through their bodies by clusters of sharp arrows.

Faced with the rain of arrows pouring down from the city, the homeless had to stand in front of him with rudimentary shields.

"Shoot arrows!"

Seeing more and more displaced people arriving under the city wall through the moat made the officers at the head of the city anxious
