Black clouds are pressing down on the city, threatening to destroy it, and the light of armor opens towards the golden scales of the sun!
This poem is Xiao Han's first imagination of the siege, but imagination is still imagination, and there will always be discrepancies between the pictures and the real thing.
Under the escort of his family general, Xiao Han climbed up the city wall tremblingly, then stretched out half his head from behind Uncle Lunzi and looked forward.
"This is Wang Shichong's army? How come there are so few people?" Xiao Han looked dumbfounded at the slowly gathering army in front of him. He originally thought that since he dared to attack the city, not to mention covering up the sky and the sun, there should be a sea of people!
"It seems... right..." Uncle Lunzi looked ahead and frowned and replied. He didn't understand what he was trying to do.
"Is there someone else behind me?" Xiao Han scratched his head and was no longer afraid. He had to step out from behind Uncle Lunzi and take a closer look.
"Master Hou, don't come forward, be careful of hidden arrows!" Xiaodong was startled and stopped Xiao Han back with such force that Xiao Han almost broke his neck...
"Ouch..." Xiao Han screamed in pain, threw Xiaodong away, and cursed angrily: "What hidden arrows? Do you think they are snipers? They are miles away! Let them shoot one and let me see!"
"Raise the chicken head? What is that?" Xiaodong stared at Xiao Han, confused.
Xiao Han curled his lips and looked forward to himself. You can't talk to this uneducated person! If you want to know what a sniper is, live another thousand years!
Under the city, Wang Shichong's team seemed to have been assembled. Although Xiao Han had no battlefield experience, he could not tell the accurate number of people. But based on my feeling, there are only more than 10,000 enemies at most, not even as many as the number of people in Xiazhou City!
"Could it be? Are they deceitful? Want to lure us out of the city?" Xiao Han thought this way.
Of course, Xiao Han is definitely not the only one who thinks so. On the city gate tower on Xiao Han's right, Xiao Lizi was also asking the eldest grandson Shunde.
"No trebuchet? No car crash? Not even a ladder? I don't think this damn thing is here to attack the city! As for leading us out of the city, it's impossible. They've all seen strong winds and waves, and there's no way they can pursue us rashly! I Look, they are just here to show off their power!" Changsun Shunde said bitterly, leaning on the railing in front of him.
Li Shimin nodded, then looked ahead and asked, "Who is leading the team?"
Changsun Shunde did not speak at this time, but looked at a scout wearing light armor beside him.
The scout clasped his fists and said to the two of them: "Go back to the general! We have scouted from the front and the leader is Yin Shijie!"
"Yin Shijie?" Li Shimin looked far away and said when he was young: "Is that him? Wang Shichong's brother-in-law? Where is he now? Why haven't I seen him in the army?"
"This..." The scout also looked into the distance with confusion, and whispered: "Earlier we saw him and a group of cavalry in front, but then we were in a hurry to report the news and didn't notice where he went..."
"We are not attacking the city, and the general is not here. Is there really a fraud?" Changsun Shunde said to himself.
"No matter what tricks he plays, we will remain unchanged in the face of any change! Tell the people below not to take it lightly! Then send people to continue to investigate! A team of five spies will spread out ten miles to see if the other party has an ambush!"
"Yes!" The scout bowed and accepted the order, then hurried downstairs.
"If they hadn't ambushed me! I could have been defeated in this battle!" Li Shimin whispered to himself.
People were coming and going at the east city gate, and all kinds of weapons were shining with cold light. What is different from here is that the dawn here at the West City Gate is quiet. There is only a hundred-man team stationed here to guard it closely.
At this moment, it is four or five miles outside the city gate. On an almost deserted path, a group of cavalry rode past.
The horse's hooves flew and the ground was like thunder. The one in front of him, clad in silver armor and red, and looking like a drama troupe actor, was the missing Yin Shijie.
"General! The mountain pass is ahead! We need to rush back as soon as possible. It's too dangerous here!" A thin man shouted on a horse.
"Drive..." Yin Shijie waved his whip and turned around and shouted: "What are you afraid of?! Li Tang's people are all in the east to prevent us from attacking the city. Who would have thought that we would come here to arrest people?"
"Yes!" The skinny little man lowered his head to avoid Yin Shijie's gaze, but cursed in his heart: "Yes! No one can think of it! We can't even think that you put up such a big battle just to arrest a few people! The Marshal is so handsome. If you don’t come, let’s see how you deal with it!”
The ten miles passed almost in an instant. In the blink of an eye, Yin Shijie could see the body at the mountain pass from a distance.
"They are indeed here!" Yin Shijie was secretly happy when he saw that it was just as the intelligence said. No horsepower is saved at this time either. He yelled and rushed forward!
But alas, a horse is a horse after all! No matter how fast they go, it still takes time for them to reach the mountain pass. And this is enough to be discovered by those alert people!
At the mountain pass, a group of people who had just come down the mountain saw a group of cavalry coming towards them in a menacing manner. They were stunned for a moment and immediately reacted. Throwing the salt ore on his body to the ground, he followed the mountain forest and went in, never to be seen again!
Seeing this scene, Yin Shijie, who was leading the team, laughed instead of getting angry!
He had anticipated this situation before coming, and brought a few experts from the mountains and forests with him for this purpose! Just to prevent this situation from happening!
"Go and arrest people! If you catch someone alive, you'll get a hundred bounties!" Yin Shijie yelled and rushed forward, then reined in his fast horse. The horse's hooves kept sliding on the dirt road, raising huge clouds of dust!
In the dust, several men in light armor and holding short crossbows quietly dismounted, climbed over the rocks, and entered the forest. I saw leaves and shrubs shaking for a while, and then disappeared.
"Humph, run? Can you run beyond the uncle's Wuzhishan?" Yin Shijie looked at the dense bushes and sneered, then slowly turned over and dismounted.
Passing the reins to the guard behind him, Yin Shijie slowly moved forward. On the ground in front, there were salt ores scattered all over the ground, and a few donkeys were gnawing on the tender grass on the ground.
"Is this the stone collected by *?" Yin Shijie kicked the salt mines scattered on the ground and squatted down to study these strange stones.
A man who was always guarding him looked back and said in a deep voice: "Yes! I don't know what these stones are used for. But seeing as they don't rest day after day, there must be something mysterious about it!"
"Mysterious?" Yin Shijie threw the salt mine aside casually, clapped his hands and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if it's mysterious or a conspiracy, when we catch him alive, we will understand everything!"
"The general is wise..." A few knights from behind shyly came over to flatter him, but most of them looked disapproving.
Yin Shijie smiled and looked at his subordinates with different expressions, but there was a cold feeling in his heart: "A bunch of bastards, didn't they just follow Qin Shubao to win a few small victories? They are so proud! When I become the world's most powerful soldier, Marshal! Let’s see how I deal with you!”
"sneeze……"
While Yin Shijie was thinking, a loud sneeze suddenly sounded next to him, which almost made him jump! He quickly looked back and saw a donkey with a long face, staring at him eagerly, and seemed to be smiling at him...
Yin Shijie looked at the donkey, smiled at the fuss he had just made, pointed at it and said to the people around him: "This donkey is interesting! Take it away in a while! We won't leave anything for you!"
"Here!" The men agreed happily. It would be great to have a pot of donkey meat soup when we take him back!
At this time, Xiao Han, who was suspicious at the East City Gate, still didn’t know that his royal treasured donkey was only lent out for two days and was taken away by others. It is estimated that it will become a pile of donkey meat and burned tonight...
And Bao Donkey didn't even know that the humans in front had already taken a fancy to all of its flesh...
Just when it was eating grass, it didn't know what it ate, which made it sneeze heavily. And just because it raised its head to sneeze, it discovered that those damn people who always asked it to carry heavy things were gone! They were replaced by a group of well-armored strangers.
"Angang..."
Seeing these "kind" people still smiling at him, Bao Donkey brayed twice with joy. The muscles on his back trembled, and the bag on it was immediately shaken off.
This time, the humans laughed even harder, especially the one in front of them, who couldn't even straighten up! When Bao Donkey saw this, he brayed two more times with joy and walked up to Yin Shijie. A pair of huge eyes looked curiously at the man who had scared away those bastards.
