118 General Zhou
Sure enough, when the acid mist on the trebuchet was just thrown out, it played a certain deterrent effect, and several wolves were even burned in the eyes, regardless of the fact that they bit the nearby steppe people.
Soon, however, the enemy was on guard and quickly retreated, all of them out of range of the trebuchet.
So there was a stalemate between the two sides.
Obviously, the enemy was like a wolf, with full patience, and although it was freezing outside, they withdrew to a certain range and then stood still, staring at Xixian as if waiting for the opportunity to reveal a flaw in Xixian.
"I'm a businessman, not a military strategist," Pei Qing had to admit with a wry smile, "I don't know how to march and fight...... Could it be that you will die me one day? ”
The city wall was full of archers, and no one moved in the cold wind, but as time went by, not only did they get tired, but Pei Qing was also tired, and their endurance was being cut, and they didn't know when they would be exhausted.
The last ray of light of the sunset on the horizon disappeared abruptly, and at this moment, a dull sound of footsteps suddenly came from a certain direction, which was the strange sound caused by a large number of people brushing the ground.
Rushing towards the twilight, it was a group of cavalry carrying the banners of the generals of the border passes.
"Zhou?" Pei Qing saw the surname on the banner at a glance, "It's actually the General Zhou that Huang Gongzi contacted is here?" ”
Huang Gongzi recently mentioned his path in the army in a letter, talking about this General Zhou, a miracle man with a miraculous resume, who was promoted from a small soldier to a general in a year's time.
After counting the fact that there were only five hundred soldiers in the phalanx brought by General Zhou, Pei Qing and the people in the county were all speechless, shocked and regretful in their hearts, but they didn't expect that the reinforcements they had finally hoped for were only so little, in the face of thousands of wolf horses on the grassland, wasn't this rushing to death?!
However, what happened next took a sharp turn, and the men and horses brought by General Zhou were far from the range of normal bows and arrows, and they had all raised their bows and arrows - they were actually all equipped with archers and riders, especially the bows were even more unusual, and they were all meteoric iron bows that were special products of Xixian County.
With a swish, between the lightning and flint, five hundred bows and arrows fired at the target in unison, and hundreds of steppe people were brought down in an instant.
The enemy immediately changed his target, no longer staring at Xixian, but rushed towards General Zhou.
I saw that among the border troops, a person with a white horse and a silver spear, tall and mighty, with a bronze ghost face on his face, rushed bravely among the enemy troops, and swept down a large piece of melons and vegetables wherever he went, which was faster than cutting leeks with a sickle.
The steppe wolf, which is known as invincible, was powerless in the face of 500 cavalry, and was beaten into a mess, and then triggered a rout, leaving thousands of wounded soldiers to defeat the generals, and the remaining 4,000 people withdrew with wolves.
There were wails on the battlefield, and on the battlefield that quickly emptied, the general sitting on his horse gave something while arching his hand at the city wall.
Pei Qing on the city wall involuntarily returned a salute, his eyes condensed slightly.
The general of Zhou cleaned the battlefield with five hundred cavalry that was almost unscathed, stacking the dead enemies together and cremating them, Pei Qing stood on the city wall and watched them move, and ordered the people in the city to shout in unison.
"I would like to reward the general with a thousand gold!"
"Please enter the city for a while!"
The sound spread throughout the four fields, startling countless birds.
However, as if he hadn't heard, the general of Zhou quickly left the wilderness outside Xixian with the enemy's severed ears and a group of wounded prisoners.
The stars in the sky shone on their backs, and the voices of the people of Xixian thanked and retained them, but they didn't seem to reach their ears.

After this day, General Zhou became famous and became the first person in the heart of the little girl in the former county who wanted to marry.
Even Ah Xing and Xiao Sun mentioned his courage from time to time, and these two personal maids changed their tone again, feeling that whatever Huang Gongzi Li Instructor stood aside, this General Zhou was the most worthy of their princess.
provoked Pei Qing to shake his head for a while.
There is no man in her heart, she is now wholeheartedly running the area of the two counties, in addition to the eight commercial streets are all rented out to receive millions of taels of silver, along the cement road that has been leading to the outside world, there are countless new warehouses, the establishment of a whole logistics belt, warehouse rent alone, can bring 260,000 taels of income per year, this is not counting the cement road will be longer and longer, roadside warehouses will be more and more.
In addition to the cement road, the ferry port that has just been built is also full of people, the shops on it have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, the daily cargo throughput reaches 10,000 stones, as the fame of this area grows, there are more and more merchants, and the shipyard repairs more and more small boats, and the throughput will be greater.
Let the county landlords fully disarm and surrender, they are all scrambling to come to the county to find business opportunities, and they are not the first group of people, the proprietors behind the Xinglong Money Village have also sent the most capable people in the clan, with the most valuable goods, with a large number of silver taels, began to swarm to seize the warehouses and dock shops.
After Pei Qing sacrificed all the merits, she immediately unlocked another virtue policy - she announced that medical insurance would be set up under the rule of the former county, and anyone with a local household registration could participate in the insurance, ensuring that no one was missed.
This unprecedented virtue has brought him great merit value, all the merit points of the sacrifice have been filled up again, and doubled, the people of the former county were born to raise the grassroots, and now not only the life is full of food and clothing, life has been so well guaranteed, the gratitude to her is even more indescribable, after understanding what is medical insurance, the people of the former county secretly set up several Niangniang temples for her, all of them really worship her as a fairy, and even derived a sacrificial culture for this.
The increase in merit value, continue to unlock the system function, the system function is restored to fifty percent, some larger living creatures can finally be traded, Pei Qing immediately exchanged for a thousand Tibetan mastiffs, which were used to take care of the county's home and nursing home, and even established Xixian County's own wolf horse, so that Dongzhu took the female soldiers to train and established a unique girl army.
- I was really shocked by the grassland mess that sneaked over last time!
The weather is getting colder and colder, and soon it is October, and it is no longer a small snow star floating in the sky, but a piece of goose feather snow.
General Zhou's people came to knock on the gate of Xixian County at this time, it was a veteran who was still wearing thin coarse linen clothes on a cold day, and his body was almost frozen.
"There is a great shortage of food in the army, and my general was ordered to raise grain and grass, and beg the princess to show mercy and save the border soldiers!"
