Thirty miles.

Twenty miles.

Ten miles.

Five miles.

Cheng Qing listened to the reports again and again, stood on the city wall and watched the 10,000-strong army of the scarf thieves stop two miles away from the city wall of Hongxian County, and they shouted something "Revenge for General Wang Shao", Cheng Qing was puzzled:

"Who is Major General Wang?"

Li Baihu scratched his head, "Could it be the thief a few days ago?" ”

If it was the thief leader, Li Baihu knew the whereabouts of "General Wang Shao" - after hanging outside the county government for a few days, the head of "General Wang Shao" was air-dried!

Cheng Qing didn't know if the scarf thief could still recognize the "Young General Wang" who only had a dry head left, but it didn't prevent her from sending someone to the county government to bring "General Wang Shao" to the city wall.

Cheng Qing was afraid that the scarf thieves would be stationed two miles away, and if they didn't attack immediately, it would affect the morale of the city defenders on the Hongxian side, and it would be easy to find out that they had laid out a bad move.

It turns out that Cheng Qing thought too much, the scarf thief did not put a small Hongxian in his eyes, and shouted in his mouth to avenge "General Wang Shao", tens of thousands of scarf thieves rushed over, wanting to take Hongxian in one go, and Yixue was ashamed of the failure to attack the city in Huai'an-

It's close, it's close!

They rushed to the moat outside Hongxian County.

The moat outside Hongxian County, the width and depth are only about one zhang, and it does not have much effect when it is full of water on weekdays, not to mention the impact of the Huai'an drought, the moat outside Hongxian County has long been dry to only a little shallow water, and the amount of water is not enough to feed livestock.

Not to mention the scarf thief on horseback, even the scarf thief who rushes to kill with two legs, and a run-up can jump over this moat like a joke.

The horse jumped, the man jumped.

As soon as the horses' hooves and human feet hit the ground, they fell uncontrollably into the river pit.

It's not good, it's a fraud!

The first group of scarf thieves rolled down into the moat, and the water in it had just reached the instep, but there were countless sharp weapons buried in the underwater mud, and the horses that fell from the moat were in pain, and the thieves screamed.

A thief pulled out a bloody bamboo pipe from his leg.

The thief in front was hit, and the thief behind rushed forward too fast, even if he wanted to stop immediately, he couldn't do it, but because of inertia, he pressed his companion who fell into the river in front of him to the bottom of the river more solidly...... The scarf thief came on the seventh day, and the people of Hongxian County were in a hurry, Cheng Qing asked the people what was the way to retreat from the enemy, and several hunters from the countryside who went to the city to avoid trouble offered this method.

It's not about widening the moat and digging it deeper.

No matter how wide and deep the river is, there is a way to cross it, and the moat can block it for a while, and it can also stop the scarf thief?

The scarf thief had to be left at the bottom of the pit like a wild boar.

When hunters trap wild boars, they not only dig deep pits to trap them, but also stick sharpened bamboo poles at the bottom of the pits.

Cheng Qing waved his hand, and the bamboo pole had to be arranged.

Anyway, there are so many people in the county, and if they are not assigned some work, the people in the county will be panicked.

The water in the moat was dry, and no one had cleared the silt at the bottom of the river, just enough to hide the bamboo poles that had been inserted.

The trap is not very technical, but it is easy to use!

I'm afraid that the scarf thief won't be able to fall, on the bank of the moat, Cheng Qing also asked people to smear a layer of oil, whether it is a human foot or a horse's hooves, can it not slip on the oil?

The thieves who ran in front fell into the moat, and the thieves behind could not catch up and trampled their companions to the bottom of the river.

Cheng Qing stood on the wall, listening to the wailing sound coming from the moat, and then watching the scarf thief who fell to the bottom of the pit like a bamboo rat to be roasted through the body with sharpened bamboo tubes, string after string, the scene was quite sour......

Cheng Qing will not be soft-hearted.

Kill the thief and cremate and bury it on the spot, and the killed horses can be reused, horse meat is a good thing!

If Cheng Qing is a military general, he may silently feel sorry for the dead war horse.

But she is not a general.

She knew that war horses could fight when they were alive, and the use of dead horses was really not small, horse skins could be made into leather goods, and horse meat could be used to satisfy the stomach.

Cheng Qing is not used to eating fresh horse meat, and it is quite fragrant when made into jerky.

He Wan led people to make military rations, rice, soybeans and pickles are all ingredients that can be found, where did the jerky in the middle of the rice ball come from?

A few days ago, he killed a group of "General Wang Shao" and a group of scarf thieves, and afterwards Cheng Qing ordered someone to clean up the battlefield and dragged the dead horses back to Hongxian.

Therefore, when the war horse is alive, it is armament, and when it is dead, it is military ration.

Cheng Qing felt that the scarf thief was here to bring her food.

These thieves have robbed a lot of property and food from Huai'an City.

Cheng Qing now not only wants to save her 20,000 stone disaster relief grain and the lives of the people of Hongxian County, she is wondering, can she rob the scarf thief in turn?

Taking advantage of the fact that the scarf thief fell into the moat and caused a little panic, as soon as Cheng Qing raised his hand, Li Baihu immediately shouted:

"Stone-throwing! Lapidation! ”

Several trebuchets on the ramparts had long been ready.

Hongxian County has not fought for a long time, and the trebuchets in the warehouse are rotten, but this is not a difficult matter, if it is broken, it will be repaired, and if it is not repaired, it will be new...... The boulder fell from the sky and smashed the scarf thief to the point of breaking his hands and feet, and he died on the spot!

Cheers rang out from the city walls.

The second wave of boulder rain falls.

The scarf thieves were disrupted, and the commander, General Zhao, kept making people rush the horn, trying to control the troops of tens of thousands to continue to rush forward.

Hongxian County was prepared.

General Zhao's anger was ignited.

With 30,000 righteous troops, they can't capture a single Huai'an.

Now the number has lost one of three, and there are nearly 20,000 more.

Huai'an City is garrisoned by tens of thousands of Cao troops, and the city wall is also high, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Could it be that even a small Hongxian County can't be captured by the rebels?

General Zhao made people blow the horn to move on.

The trap at the bottom of the moat can only kill some of the scarf thieves, and the same is true for the trebuchet, which requires several people to operate together, and it takes time to reload the stone after each stone throwing.

In this between, the scarf thief can take the opportunity to rush forward.

Once the two sides are too close, the trebuchet will not work.

When the turban thieves rushed under the walls, they were greeted by a rain of arrows and thrown stones.

General Zhao saw that the city wall was densely packed with people.

A young man in an official uniform stood on the city wall and smiled downward, like a rebel army who died under the city, an ant trampled to death by a young child......

General Zhao's anger rushed from the soles of his feet to the Heavenly Spirit Gai.

"Where are the archers, shoot the dog officer on the city wall for General Ben!"

The archer took a bow and shot an arrow, but before the arrow could escape, he was killed by two arrows flying from the direction of the city wall.

General Zhao was frightened into white sweat.

If it weren't for the archers riding in front of General Zhao, those two arrows might have hit General Zhao.

What did the military advisor say, the commander of the army must be in charge of the overall situation, and must not rush to the front and take risks.

- The Master of the Military Division is right!

General Zhao hurriedly retreated beyond the range of bows and arrows, and commanded the army to enter the palace in the rear.

To attack Huai'an City, the Long Turban Army had already prepared, and the ladder to ascend the city and the log that hit the city gate had not been lost, General Zhao didn't believe it, and he couldn't break through the defense of this small county!

…… After he breaks the city, he will chop up the condescending dog official and feed it to the dogs.
