Although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs.

The dock wall of Ou's dock is only about three zhang high, far less tall than the dock built by Dong Yi's brother Dong Zhuo later. However, surrounded by walls and doors in all directions, there are also facilities that a dock fort should have, such as a watchtower in the dock and a corner tower in the four corners.

Beyond the walls, surrounded by a narrow moat. It is no more than three zhang wide from an artificially excavated irrigation canal, and is no wider than the moat that the county seat of Luoxian has transformed from a natural water system—perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it a moat.

With no reinforcements from outside, these rudimentary fortifications were combined to form the only reliance on the entire Ou clan.

At noon on August 18, these rudimentary fortifications proved their reliability.

When the horse team of the Ou family detected the movement of the county soldiers and was about to return to the county clan to report the news, they had also been targeted by the county soldiers and sentinels composed of the old Liangzhou Army and the three knights of Kou, Liu, and Luo.

Liangzhou Malaysia is rampant all over the world. As soon as they came into contact, the district horse team suffered a big loss from the county soldiers' sentinels. In a face-to-face effort, the number of people and horses in the Ou Jiama team who were killed and wounded reached double digits.

What's worse is that if you can't beat it, you can't run it. The district horse team, which was wearing bamboo armor and running for its life, couldn't shake off the county soldiers and sentry cavalry wearing iron armor and shooting arrows while riding horses, and was chased behind by the other party.

"Put away the drawbridge!" At the north gate of the dock wall, Ou Xing shouted, "The spear team quickly marched to the city gate!" ”

Ou Zhuang, the leader of the militia squadron who was in charge of guarding the city gate on the side, hesitated: "But, Ma ......"

"But a fart!" The always elegant young gentleman said extremely rarely, "Execute quickly, this is an order!" ”

"Yui~Yui~Yui!" Ou Zhuang was excited, no longer hesitated, and decisively ordered the command.

"One line is in front, and they are lined up at the city gate in a formation of horses and horses; The second platoon is at the back, ready to release the arrows. ”

"Yui!"

"Three in a row, close the gates. Three rows and two shifts, raising the suspension bridge. Fast! ”

"Yui!"

The wheels creaked and made a jerky, toothache-inducing sound, driving the pulley block to pull the drawbridge and the city gate to close little by little. The horse team is getting closer.

......

The distance between him and the brute rider is getting closer and closer. The galloping horse galloped, and the horse's back rose and fell like a wave. When the man and the horse reached the highest point of the wave, Dong Bao grasped the sense of suspension at that moment, held his breath, and let go.

"Whew!"

The arrow moved at will, and it pierced the back shoulder of the brute cavalry accurately - Dong Bao deliberately missed the shot, otherwise, the brute cavalry would have died halfway through.

"Keep up!" Dong Bao raised his eyes and stared at the two flipped flags at the dock gate, his gaze almost condensed into substance, "The second and third sons are on par with me, seize the door first, and be barbaric in one fell swoop!" ”

"Yui!"

Left and right drank in response, and what couldn't be hidden in the slaughter was excitement.

However, things changed in an instant. Just as the county sentry cavalry returned to the order, the brute cavalry in front of him suddenly began to turn sharply to the left. The speed and amplitude were so large that even a few barbarians who were not skilled in learning were directly thrown off the horse.

Immediately afterward, a dense stream of arrows rained down on the iron armor clanged.

"Ah!!h

"Ah~"

There were a few muffled snorts hidden in the screams, and a few unlucky ones were shot in the neck and arm by the barbarian's arrows. In a hurry, the county sentry was taken by surprise.

Although the barbarian's wide and flat arrow is weak to pierce armor, it has a very good cutting effect on unarmored targets. This wave of arrow rain brought a lot of damage to the county sentry cavalry.

Looking at the suspension bridge that had risen more than half in front of him, and the many fallen robes in the corner of his sight, Dong Bao spat hatefully.

"Withdraw!"

"Removal !!"

Aggression is like fire, turning into the wind, and the sentinels of the Xiliang Army have always followed the operational principle of accepting when they see a good situation and withdrawing if they can't do it. Realizing that the strategy of assaulting the door was not feasible, they chose to retreat without hesitation.

......

"Shaojun, do you want to let the horse team chase after you?"

"Nope."

No diamonds, no porcelain work. Ou Xing glanced at the horse team that was circling along the riverbank, and subconsciously shook his head: "Let them retreat to the vicinity of the dock gate, and then let them in after the thief cavalry has withdrawn for three or five miles." ”

"Yui."

At the dock gate building, a fresh graduate of Au Private School waved colorful flags with both hands and issued a flag order to summon the horse team to assemble at the dock gate. After a few moments, the horses began to turn around.

"The wounded are sent to the hospital, and the rest of the horse team members are quickly assembled at the headquarters."

"Yui."

......

Outside the Ou's dock, Niu Fu was personally supervising the county soldiers to set up camp. At this time, a sentinel came to pass the ceremony.

"Sima, the barbarian is blocking the dock gate on the east side."

"Blocking the dock door?" Niu Fu subconsciously asked rhetorically, "What kind of blocking method?" ”

"The barbarians are using soil, stone, wood, etc. to seal the door hole in the dock wall, and now they are being blocked."

Just as Niu Fu was about to continue asking for details, another horse galloped over.

"Sima, the barbarian is blocking the dock gate on the west side."

And such a good thing? Niu Fu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"This is handed over to Li Yanzhi and Li Junhou to be responsible. Second and third sons, follow me to check the barbarian dock defense. ”

"Yui."

......

"Huh!" Wei Yan slapped his thigh angrily, "It looks good to teach the art of war, but it's so unbearable to really defend the city." Ou Jun, did he turn out to be just a figure like Zhao Kuo? ”

"Brother, is there anything wrong with the district king's method of defending the city?" In the grove, Wei Xu asked in a low voice.

"It's not just inappropriate, it's just a big inappropriate!" Looking at the militia of the district family who were blocking the dock gate, Wei Yan's eyebrows wrung out the word "Chuan", "The dock gate is blocked, although the enemy army can't get in, but the defenders in the dock wall can't get out?" In this way, the defenders pose no threat to the enemy. This method of sealing the gate and defending the city is just waiting for death on the spot, which is extremely stupid! ”

"Then ~ brother, what should we do?"

"What can I do, what can I do?" Wei Yan turned his head and glared at Wei Xu angrily, "I am a chivalrous warrior, there is revenge and revenge, and there is kindness to repay kindness!" In the past, the district gentleman was kind to us, and this is the time to repay the kindness! ”

"The city gates are more expensive than they are less, and they are expensive to open and not to be closed. Since the gates of the city are many and open, and it is convenient to go to a place, they will send troops to attack them. At night, they cut off their camps, so that they could not rest day and night, and naturally did not dare to build a fortress near the city. and it must be a measure of containment, so that it is easy for others to do their work...... Remove the fishing bridge, only use the real bridge, and the military horses in the city can advance and retreat; Outsiders are afraid of sending troops in the city, and they dare not be at ease day and night" - "Guarding the City"
