Han Lei made a late night in the few tents he had. Many thieves who did not have a woman to serve them also did not sleep for a long time in order to listen to the excitement.

When Xu Huang led people to surround them, the camp was snoring, Xu Huang shook his head, ordered everyone to set fire to the baggage carts, and then scattered around the periphery to intercept the thieves who escaped by luck.

Han Lei was very unhappy when he was woken up, and he was scolding and was looking for someone to vent, but he saw the sky-high fire outside the tent, and then saw his men desperately climbing over the baggage cart but being ruthlessly slashed by the cavalry on the periphery.

Soon the tent he was in was also set on fire, and he wanted to find someone to rescue him, but he found that his more than 1,000 men had already panicked, and many of them were even running around the camp because they couldn't climb the baggage cart and couldn't rush out. That's how Han Lei's tent was lit.

Han Lei didn't want to die, even the woman beside him was so frightened that he couldn't stand up and desperately saved his two Da Rui, he handed over and kicked one away, identified one direction and rushed out, and then everything was in vain, because although he easily flipped through the baggage, he found that there were rows of snake-killing cavalry tied around the periphery.

Han Lei closed his eyes in pain, he knew that he and these more than a thousand subordinates were all finished, but he didn't even have a chance to send a letter to his brother-in-law, she really wanted to send a letter to the two teams behind, but she couldn't do it, and she didn't know who she died in.

In the north of Anyi City, as soon as it was dawn that day, Mrs. Guo urged his subordinates to start burying pots and cooking, and he was worried that the night attack did not appear. He breathed a sigh of relief, and after breakfast, he gathered nearly four leaders and more than five hundred spearmen to spread around his banner, which was specially aimed at dealing with Wei Xuan's cavalry.

Last night, because they were busy setting up camp and pacifying their thieves, Guo Tai, Li Le, Hu Cai and others did not arrange for people to make heavy siege weapons such as storm rams, but let the thieves spread out outside Anyi City as they did yesterday.

According to the estimation of Guo Tai and others, in half a day, the second wave of troops from Xiangfen City will arrive. When the time comes, they will divide their troops and go to the other gates.

Everything was going according to plan, and the more than 2,000 scrawny victims received another bowl of porridge in the morning, and then walked at the front of the procession towards the north gate of Anyi City.

Each of them got a bag filled with sand and soil in their hands, and when they reached the moat dozens of steps outside the moat, they actually started to take soil with a brush, and then numbly carried the sandbags to the moat, and dumped the sand in the bag into the moat.

Wei Xuan regretted it even more in his heart, if he was too conservative and virtuous to listen to persuasion, or if he was a little ruthless at the beginning, let these people work outside the city, wouldn't it be possible to suppress it if they were cut down and dug moats, and it would be a hundred, but now they are becoming helpers and abusives.

However, remorse is remorse, Wei Xuan naturally can't watch these people fill up the moat like this, so he mobilized 200 archers in the county soldiers to shoot several salves at the victims who were pouring soil outside the moat, and suddenly dozens of people were shot by bows and arrows and fell by the moat. The rest of the victims, sensing the danger, suddenly stopped.

Seeing this, the thieves in the rear immediately rushed towards the group of thieves with dozens of people wearing armor and more thieves with murderous spirits, and those who were close to the victims resumed taking soil under the reprimand of the thieves, but there were still cowardly ones who stood still and were immediately cut down to the ground by the thieves.

Many of the people who were cut down did not die immediately, they lay on the ground and wailed, which made some thieves unhappy, and went up to make up for the superior swords, and suddenly dozens of people died at once, no worse than Wei Xuan's archers, so under the drive of these thieves, more than 2,000 victims continued to carry soil and fill the river! Then the archers on the city wall continued to shoot at the outside of the moat, and every time such a tug of war would fall, dozens or even hundreds of people would fall, Guo Tai was not in a hurry in his eyes, because the attack in the morning was originally tentative, and he was going to wait until the second wave of men and horses arrived in the afternoon before organizing his men to attack.

The corpses by the moat gradually increased, and the victims began to become numb and slow, so Mrs. Guo had to dispatch more men to drive the victims to continue to fill the moat.

The morning passed quickly, and a short section in the middle of the moat had advanced five or six paces, but there were also seven or eight hundred fallen corpses.

Of course, this did not affect Guo Tai and the others, but the next news brought by the scout was his second wave of people, four teams transporting baggage were attacked by officers and soldiers last night, two teams were completely wiped out, two teams left their baggage and fled back to Xiangfen, and the two teams totaled more than 3,000 people who fled back not more than five or six hundred. That is to say, in one night, the Baibo army not only lost a lot of grain and grass, but also lost at least five or six thousand people, and the replenishment they got from taking Xiangfen was basically all wasted along the way.

Mrs. Guo knew that Wei Xuan had cavalry in his hands, but Yang Feng's intelligence was fifty or sixty, and he had personally seen one hundred and fifty or sixty, but if he could attack four convoys in one night and annihilate his own five or six thousand people, how many cavalry would it take?

Guo Tai, Li Le, Hu Cai and other four people gathered together to discuss, relying on the existing 13,400 people plus the surviving more than 1,000 victims to capture Anyi, in order to prevent the follow-up troops from being attacked by Wei Xuan again, Guo Tai and others have sent scouts to say that the four leaders' subordinates are acting together, and the thieves outside Anyi City began to build siege equipment, preparing to wait until the third wave of thieves arrived from Xiangfen City to Anyi before attacking the city.

However, in order to maintain pressure on the defenders in Anyi City, in addition to driving Zi Aimin to continue to fill in the moat, more than 1,000 people were also sent to carry ladders across the moat to attack the city wall.

However, such an attempt could hardly threaten the defenders on the walls of Anyi, and at first, many civil officials, including Wang Meng and others, saw Wei Xuan's order to massacre the victims who carried sand and soil to fill the moat, and thought that this Wei Jiahu was a bit brutal, but when a morning passed, they were also used to it, and when they saw that the lives of more than a thousand people were replaced by a moat nearly thirty steps wide and filled in, everyone could no longer sympathize with the victims, but worried about the people in the city and their families, because at this rate, it would take another day or two, the moat will lose its effect on the protection of Anyi Castle. And what changed all this was the victims they had sympathized with before, who had long been begging for a living in the porridge shacks of big families such as the Wei family.

The next day, the thieves still did not directly attack the city, and the more than 2,000 victims who first buried the moat had already died, and even their bodies were thrown into the moat by the thieves with bows and arrows, making the final contribution to the siege of the city.

The next day, the people who were driven to fill the moat were those young men who had been selected from the disaster victims, and they witnessed the death and injury of their former companions yesterday, so when the thieves drove them with weapons to carry the sand and fill the moat, many people chose to resist, but the resistance was futile, the thieves had nearly 10,000 people, and everyone had a lubricant, they were only more than three or four thousand, not to mention the weak physique, the long-term hunger made them have little strength at all, and the lack of weapons has become their Achilles' heel, plus resistance is only part of the people, so it was quickly suppressed, and seven or eight hundred people were hacked and killed by thieves in this conflict. The blood flowed down the potholed ground to form a small pool, which was very scary.

The rest can only resign themselves to picking up tools and starting to fill in the moat. Faced with the slaughter of the archers defending the city and the slashing of the thieves, the attrition rate under the double oppression was also very fast.

The news of Xu Huang's successful night attack naturally reached Wei Xuan as soon as possible, he thought that the thieves did not act in batches, but he did not expect that the various leaders would act separately, which objectively created conditions for Xu Huang's night attack. If six or seven thousand people gathered together, Xu Huang and the others could only attack at most.

Four or five thousand people were wiped out, the second wave of troops lost all their baggage, and seven or eight thousand people could not reach the battlefield on time, so that Anyi won another day.

But there is also bad news, that is, Yang Feng led the team to sweep Xiangfen and Xiangling, the team has grown from 5,000 to 10,000 people, and has arrived under Xiangling City, according to Yang Feng's familiarity with Xiangling City, and the fragile defense in Xiangling City, it is already good if it is not directly opened and surrendered, and at most it can block Yang Feng's army for a day or two.

Two days later, Yang Feng's team may be 15,000 or even 20,000, or it may be that Pingyang or Yang County will be breached, and the only advantage is that the journey from Xiangling to Anyi will take more than three days without horseback, which means that Yang Feng should not join the battlefield in three or four days!

The news of Yang Feng's sweep of Xiangfen and Xiangling naturally also spread to Guo Tai and others, before leaving, Guo Tai's team had more than 7,000 people at most, and now Guo Tai's brother-in-law Han Lei was served by Xu Huang, plus when he arrived in Anyi on the first day, he was raided by Wei Xuan with troops, and most of the people in the middle were Guo Tai's team. Now, although he still has the most subordinates among the four leaders, he is less than half of Yang Feng's. He was a little envious and jealous of Yang Feng, and he also regretted changing his plan at the beginning, if he also led the team to loot in the countryside of Pingyang or Wenxi at this moment, no matter how many people there were in the team, at least the baggage must be enough to hold out for a long time, and those people who were coerced could also be used like the victims who buried the moat in the past two days.

Regret is regret, but after discussion, Guo Tai and others decided to launch a general attack on Anyi on the third day after arriving in Anyi City, because of the drive of the disaster victims to fill the moat, there were several clashes in the afternoon, the victims were killed and wounded seven or eight hundred, and more than two hundred thieves were killed, because the earth-taking tools and sandbags in the hands of the victims became their weapons for temporary combat, and the Jedi counterattack launched by people in despair still had a certain lethality.
