Maiwei continued: "However, we also have an internal response in the city, and Ma Zhu, the head of the Ma family, is our man, and there are 800 private soldiers under him. ”

Chen Mu clapped his hands, "Okay!" As long as we can reach him, we can meet inside and out! ”

The county commander asked curiously: "Now that the rebels are definitely very well defended, how can we contact him?" ”

Chen Mu: "Naturally, there is a set of codes, and the rebels can't understand it even if they hear it." ”

The county order is even more curious, can it be shouted directly outside the city? The rebels don't understand?

But Chen Mu didn't mention this matter, but began to arrange people to build siege equipment, and let the county order recruit craftsmen.

Ten days later, Qingqu County built 10 catapults, 5 wells, and 100 ladders.

The army of East Vietnam also came, although there were only 5,000 men, but they were all elite soldiers. Although the experience and temperament are not as good as the invincible flying army and the invincible flying army, the physical fitness and training level are very good.

Chen Mu was very satisfied with Blue Phoenix's ability to do things.

Chen Mu took 100 guards and 5,000 Dongyue soldiers to the south of Beihai County, and met with 10,000 cavalry led by Li Feng, and then camped in the south of the city.

Generally speaking, when attacking a city, you should camp ten to twenty miles away, and then go outside the city to line up when you are attacking the city, so that you can attack and retreat, and reserve a certain amount of leeway.

But Chen Mu's order was to camp five miles away, which was too close, and once something happened, it would be difficult to respond.

The Yin Tang organization at the head of the city also felt very strange.

Zuo Protector: "Alliance leader, Chen Mu camped at such a close distance, I'm afraid there is fraud in it." ”

The alliance leader smiled slightly, "It's nothing more than trying to trick us into going out of the city and robbing the camp, and then he will use cavalry to besiege us." As long as we don't go out of the city, it doesn't matter if he's five or fifty miles away from us. ”

Zuo Protector: "Well, the three counties in the northeast have enough grain and grass, as long as we hold this wave." Then go to the stick to rob slaves and vigorously develop agriculture, and you can compete with Great Xia. ”

Alliance Leader: "Haha...... I really want to thank Chen Mu for helping us develop such a good piece of land. ”

Yin Tang organized a joke in the city, while Chen Mu held a meeting in the big tent of the Chinese army, assigned tasks to the East Vietnamese soldiers, and then told Li Feng how to cooperate.

After speaking, Chen Mu led his troops out of the camp, lined up outside the city, and began to storm.

Catapults and wells suppressed the head of the city, and the East Vietnamese soldiers rushed towards the city wall with a ladder, and after climbing the head of the city, they began hand-to-hand combat.

The rebel army was dominated by militia at the head of the city, constantly using rolling logs and stones to attack the Dongyue soldiers on the ladder, and there were many members of the Yin Tang organization, when the Dongyue soldiers came to the city, they would face these soldiers who knew martial arts.

Fortunately, Chen Mujun had catapults and wells, so that there were many vacancies in the city, so that when the East Vietnamese soldiers faced the members of the Yin Tang organization, they had a numerical advantage, and the two sides were evenly matched.

Otherwise, the soldiers would have no chance of winning against these members of the Yin Tang Organization who knew martial arts.

After an hour of hand-to-hand combat, Chen Mu ordered Mingjin to collect his troops, and then returned to the camp to rest and count the number of people.

The Dongying soldiers lost a thousand people, and the losses of the rebels were about the same, and in general, the damage of the besieging side would be three to five times that of the defending side, and this battle was one to one, which was not bad.

But there are only 5,000 Dongying soldiers, and if this continues, they will die in a few days.

So the rebels were not afraid and did not intend to flee.

In the evening, Chen Mu once again led his troops out of the camp and lined up outside the city. The rebels at the head of the city were very nervous, and they all took their positions and prepared for battle.

But Chen Mu did not give the order to attack the city, but walked forward with the guards, stood outside the range of bows and arrows, and then began to beat the drums himself.

The rebels at the head of the city are stupid, what is Chen Mu going to do?

If you are cheering with drums, why don't you attack the city for half a day?

And there are only a hundred people outside the city now.

They didn't understand, but Mazhu in the city understood it as soon as he heard it.

This drum sound sounds long and short, long and short, but in Mazhu's ears, it is a kind of language. This is the Morse code that Chen Mu taught to Maiwei.

At first, there were a few repetitions, reminding him that he was ready to start recording, and that important information would be passed on in a while. So Ma Zhu took out a pen and paper and drew dots and horizontal lines on the paper.

Chen Mu knocked for almost a quarter of an hour and led the team back.

The people of the Yin Tang organization only thought it was a tired tactic, and they didn't pay much attention to it, leaving the people who kept vigil, and the others also went back to rest.

The next day, Chen Mu attacked the city as usual, but after only half an hour, he ordered the troops to retreat, and hundreds of people were killed on both sides.

In the evening, Chen Mu came out with the guards again and began to beat the drum again.

The people of the Yin Tang organization did not dare to be careless, and still woke up the soldiers at the head of the city to prepare to defend the city.

After a while, Chen Mu put down the drumstick and got off the drum car. The people of the Yin Tang organization thought that Chen Mu was going back again, but they didn't.

Chen Mu was just tired of knocking, so he changed a guard to knock up.

The guard typed regularly, but it wasn't a password anymore. Because now the purpose is different, it's just to cover people's eyes.

The people of the Yin Tang organization were still kept in the dark, just standing stupidly at the head of the city and waiting, waiting for Chen Mu to send troops to attack, or withdraw to the camp.

But in Chen Mujun's camp, the soldiers were already busy.

Three thousand East Vietnamese soldiers, fully armed, lined up in a corner of the camp and entered the tunnel. Then follow the tunnels all the way to the bottom of Beihai City.

The leader was a Mai Guard, who walked under a wooden plank and tapped it with his hand, one long and one short, very regular.

Soon, the same password came from above. Mai Wei was relieved to hear this, pushed the plank and climbed up.

Maiwei: "Mazhu, you really didn't disappoint His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

Ma Zhu smiled: "Of course! Now that the surroundings have been replaced by people from the Ma family, let the brothers come out! ”

Maiwei: "Good! ”

Now that the surrounding security was determined, the East Vietnamese soldiers began to rush out.

This secret passage was originally designed according to Chen Mu's requirements. He had long thought that the northeast region was bordered on three sides, sparsely populated, and had few garrisons, and it was likely to be captured by enemy troops.

A secret passage to the south of the city was deliberately left behind, and reliable people were assigned to guard it.

Now it really comes in handy.

Outside the city, Chen Mu led the guards to beat the drum non-stop, covering the East Vietnamese soldiers underground. More and more East Vietnamese soldiers entered the city, and under the leadership of the centurion, they began to break through to the city gate.

Ma Zhu also took his private soldiers and pretended to fight with the East Vietnamese soldiers, but actually separated the East Vietnamese soldiers from the rebels.

When they made a fuss, the rebels immediately became chaotic, and they did not expect that an enemy would come from the city.

The rebels defending the city hurriedly resisted, and the cavalry outside the city also made a sortie.
