Seeing that they had all arrived outside Daxing County, the rebellious people had put on a posture of resistance, but they didn't expect Li Dingguo to not attack, but instead let the army be stationed outside the city, which immediately aroused He Xini's doubts.

In the big tent.

Li Dingguo walked in with a group of generals who opened the curtain, and He Xini followed him.

After everyone sat down, He Xini got up impatiently and asked:

"General Li, now that the situation is so clear, it is absolutely impossible for the rebels occupying Daxing County to surrender, why don't you let the army attack the city?

Instead, let the army start to be stationed outside the city? ”

Li Dingguo listened to his words, immediately smiled slightly, raised his hand and said with a smile: "County Lieutenant He, I will know that you are in a hurry, but don't worry about it first." ”

His words almost made He Xini stunned on the spot, knowing that he was in a hurry, he also asked himself not to be in a hurry, what are these words?

However, Li Dingguo's next words made him slowly calm down.

"It's not that the general will not attack the city, but the army needs to make some preparations before attacking the city.

Now that our army has just arrived, and we don't have any siege equipment in our hands, is it difficult for the soldiers to attack the city with their bare hands?

It's just some chaotic people, and they don't deserve to let my Pingwa army carry out this kind of life-changing attack with huge casualties. ”

He Xini calmed down, and he also knew that it was impossible for the other party to let his army make such a useless sacrifice.

But can there be siege engines when you stop?

Unless they want to build first!

Not to mention the question of whether there are craftsmen who can make it, it is time, when will they be able to make it?

"The general wants to make siege equipment? I'm afraid it's too late, right? He Xi mud said.

Li Dingguo shook his head with a smile: "Lieutenant He said that he laughed, the siege is imminent, where did the current construction come from?" ”

"If it is not ready-made, where will the siege equipment come from?"

Li Dingguo smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry about this, Lieutenant He doesn't have to worry about this, there are craftsmen with the army in our army, and the parts and components of various siege equipment have come with the army."

Just give Ben Jiang one night to let the craftsmen assemble the parts of the various siege equipment, and we will be able to attack the city tomorrow morning.

Moreover, we have already besieged the city, but we do not go to attack the city for a day and a night, which can also bring great psychological pressure to the people in the city, which is a matter of killing two birds with one stone, so why not do it? ”

Hearing this, He Xini finally breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that he had a backhand, no wonder he would do this.

Immediately, he relaxed.

Different from the relaxed waiting on their side, at this time, on the city wall of Daxing County, the rebels who were originally prepared to resist the siege of the Pingwei army waited for a while, and found that the other party did not attack!

Instead of attacking, he set up camp directly not far away, and he was dumbfounded!

What is the other party doing here?

Isn't it going to block their door?

But, it's not like ah, there's no reason to block the door and only block the east gate, right?

The three gates in the southwest and north are unguarded, and they can go at any time if they want to.

On the wall of the east gate, looking at the Pingwei army that began to camp in the distance, as the leader of this riot, Huanggang had long known that their actions would definitely attract the encirclement and suppression of the official army.

But he's not afraid!

As a local, he knows very well how much water these armies in the local court are!

Not only is there not many people in the water, but the imperial court is dragging the military salary, that is, the imperial court asked them to suppress them, I am afraid that they will not contribute, at most they just pretend.

Besides, he didn't expect that he could lead nearly 200,000 miners to riot in this riot, and now he was also difficult to ride a tiger, but he had 200,000 strong men under his command, and he was also very confident in his heart.

Even if the imperial court sent troops, he was confident that he would be able to stop them, but they were 200,000 people!

One person can drown the soldiers of the imperial court in northern Hunan with a mouthful of spit, right?

But!

What he didn't expect was that the imperial court did send troops, but it was not the group of old soldiers in Xiangbei that were sent, but the elite soldiers in front of him!

These are obviously all transferred from outside the county, and there are quite a few of them, and they look boundless.

As the old saying goes, there is no limit to people!

Not to mention tens of thousands of people!

Looking at this official dog, he was quite worried, but the performance of this official and military made him really unable to understand.

When his side clearly refused, the other party did not directly attack the city, but began to camp in the same place!

They're camping! Or camp right under their noses!

Not only is this strange, but it is ignoring them!

"Boss Huang, what do you think is the situation? Why didn't these officers and soldiers attack the city? ”

The leader of another mining area beside Huang Gang looked at the scene in front of him with a puzzled face, turned his head to look at Huang Gang and asked.

The structure of these 200,000 rebels is very chaotic now, but generally speaking, Huanggang is the first to riot, and then the sub-leaders who are the leaders of the riots in the various mining areas.

They were the middle force of the rebels, and Huang Gang was the commander, and they jointly controlled the current rioting miners who vented their anger and dissatisfaction.

Huang Gang also shook his head when he heard this, and then said:

"I don't know the specific situation, but the officers and soldiers are cunning, maybe this is their means to confuse us, and as soon as we relax, these officers and soldiers will immediately start attacking the city and catch us off guard!"

After listening to Huang Gang's explanation, the others immediately felt that it made sense, and they echoed it one after another:

"That's right! What Boss Huang said makes sense, these officials are cunning, often say one thing and do another, when someone died in the mine, the mine owner was not willing to compensate for the bereavement, we reported to the official, but the government people came, but what is the use?

They reprimanded both sides, told the mine owner to give them a compensatory and left.

As soon as they left, the mine owner didn't give it, and they didn't care, but said that they had already mediated, and let us deal with the rest by ourselves, isn't this just fooling us and the mud? ”

"That's it! It is! What's even worse is that the mine owner did not give him compensation, and when we wanted to beat him, these officials came quickly, and indiscriminately arrested those who were ready to do it but had not yet done it.

What is the crime, they already want to do it!

What the fuck is this!

This is clearly biased in favor of those mine owners! ”

"Okay, okay, don't talk about this, it's all over, these treacherous ghosts are all hung up by us and dried bacon, and a county lieutenant runs fast and doesn't know where to hide.

That kid is full of fat, I'm afraid he can make thirty or forty catties of oil!

Most of those officials are in charge of him, and he really named himself He Xini!

Every time I find him and his servants, he knows that he can't do anything, and if I get caught, I have to throw him into the mud and soak him for three days and three nights, so that he can play with the mud! ”

"Okay, okay, what are you talking about? Is now the time to talk about this?

Back to the topic!

Those officers and soldiers don't know what the hell they are doing, let's keep an eye on what Boss Huang said, and notify the big guys, so that the brothers can stay vigilant and prevent the other party from making a sneak attack! ”

"Okay! Got it! ”

"Got it!"

"Got it!"

……

The topic that had been deviated from finally returned to the journey, and everyone promised to keep their brothers vigilant in case the other party carried out a sneak attack.

Huang Gang also had a solemn face, and stood on the city wall for a while before going down the city wall.

As the boss of the chaotic people, now that they have occupied the entire Daxing County, he still has a lot of things to deal with.

Especially when he first came in before, he immediately led people to the weapons warehouse and the warehouse where the materials for defending the city were located.

As a result, the weapons depot was fine, although it was not large, but a lot of weapons were stored.

Huang Gang was excited at first.

But when he picked up a weapon and was about to test its hardness, the knife clicked twice as soon as he picked it up, and the knife instantly broke in half!

If you look at the gaps again, they are all corroded.

Huang Gang didn't want to believe it at first, so he led his subordinates to rummage through the entire arsenal, but the equipment that he finally put together was only enough for five or six people, and the others were all shoddy and shoddy products, and they had been put away for so long that they couldn't be used at all.

The warehouse of materials for defending the city is very direct, and it is so empty that even rats don't want to come here to take a look.

Now that the army has overwhelmed the city, and before the battle has begun, he has to gather his brothers to hurry up and prepare supplies.

Time passed little by little, and although the sky in April was not clear, it did not rain.

It's just very windy!

At this end, the Ping Wa army was in full swing armed with the siege equipment they brought.

On the side of Daxing County, a group of rebel guards stood on the head of the city and were vigilant against the Ping Wa army on the opposite side, but after so long, the Ping Wa army had no desire to continue attacking.

Until the night, the spirit of the day was too tense, and at night, the guards of the rebellious people who had been vigilant all day saw that the officers and troops had not attacked the city for a day, and they unconsciously relaxed.

As soon as the rooster crows, the world is white!

As dawn broke, the crowing of roosters woke up the guards who were dozing off the walls.

Rubbing his eyes and looking down, sure enough, the group of officers and soldiers still did not attack, and found a place to lie down and turn around, and the soldiers defending the city fell asleep again.

As one of the leaders, the leaders of the mining areas, they also found a comfortable place to sleep, last night until midnight, seeing that the officers and soldiers really had no intention of sneak attack, they were the first to sleep, and the rooster crow just now did not wake them up.

At this time, Huang Gang, who had been busy all night, took people to the city wall again, and finally made a batch of materials to defend the city after a busy night.

What he didn't expect was that as soon as he went to the city, he saw his subordinates sleeping crookedly.

They were kept on their toes last night, and that's how they were.

Thanks to the fact that the official army did not attack the city last night, if the official army attacked the city in the middle of the night, I am afraid that the city has already been broken in their state!

Thinking of this consequence, Huang Gang was angry.

With one kick, he kicked on a guard who was at the root of the battlement.

"Hurry up! Get up! Is this how you guarded the city? ”

Kicking all the way forward, many of the rebel guards who had just fallen asleep were re-raised by him, and got up to defend the city with sleepy eyes open.

Huang Gang, on the other hand, was angry and went all the way to the place where the leaders he had just heard were sleeping.

As soon as I arrived, I saw these leaders each holding a huge wine jar and falling asleep!

Good guys, it turns out that they not only slept, but also drank!

Yesterday, where did I work hard to defend the city, and this is how they were on duty!

Huang Gang's heart was unbalanced, and he suddenly became angry, and with a sonorous sound, he instantly pulled out a long knife from his waist that he snatched from the official's hand.

With the back of the knife, one person came fiercely!

"Ahh Who sneaked up on Lao Tzu! ”

"It hurts! Fuck you! That! ”

"Mom, what bastard, believe it or not, Lao Tzu hacked you to death!"

When the leaders woke up from their slumber under a beating, they cursed and angrily sought out who had attacked them while they were sleeping.

Together, they saw Huang Gang who was looking at them angrily.

Thinking of Huang Gang's instructions before leaving last night, and then thinking of the behavior of himself and others last night, several people were instantly ashamed and did not dare to look directly at Huang Gang's sight.

And Huang Gang shouted angrily: "It's me!" I'll hit you guys! What, which one is going to hack me to death? You can come now!

Let you defend the city, that's how you defend it?!

Don't wait for the official army to sneak attack, wouldn't it be better for Lao Tzu to send you on the road first! ”
