Liu Zheng stood beside the fourth child and kept observing the fourth child's every move.

This guy is quite smart, and he didn't show any abnormalities among those horse thieves, but he cooperated with Liu Zheng's actions very much, and mixed in with these horse thieves, and began to introduce Liu Zheng to this group of horse thieves.

With the introduction of the fourth child, Liu Zheng followed the side of the bonfire, gradually observed, and understood the subordination of this group of horse thieves.

It turned out that this group of horse thieves was not entirely Han Chinese, among them, there were a small number of Karasuma people and Xianbei people, who were part of the Han people, and after gaining the trust of the Karasuma people, they instigated a few Karasuma people and gradually became a group of horse thieves.

Looting all over Youzhou all day long, in fact, the Karasuma people will also go to various counties and counties in Youzhou to loot money and grain, and even women and children at the beginning of winter and the end of the year.

But that kind of large-scale sortie, the imperial court will generally send the imperial court's soldiers and horses to defend, but the small-scale horse thieves, come and go without a trace, and their whereabouts are erratic, and the people of the imperial court can't track and lock them at all, and they can't completely send troops to garrison all the time, so they are actually helpless against the horse thieves.

can only let the people living in the villages outside the city, let them move to the city, everyone lives together, there is a care, which also leads to the horse thieves, in Youzhou activities, loot not much money and food, so they will go to Qingzhou and Jizhou and other places from time to time to loot.

There are many different groups of horse thieves in various parts of Youzhou, large and small.

There are thousands of people at most, and dozens of people at the least.

And this time the gang of horse thieves who attacked Huang County, Qingzhou, the leader was called Sun Yang.

is a Han who grew up in the Xianbei tribe. This person was a child who grew up in the Xianbei tribe when he was a child when he was robbed by the Xianbei tribe people in the Han village. became a slave in the Xianbei tribe, and for more than ten years, he actually gained the trust of the Xianbei people.

Then he organized a few Xianbei people to return to Dahan to rob Dahan villages, because he grew up in Xianbei since he was a child, and he was captured by Xianbei people and was a slave for more than ten years, so he particularly hated the Han people and had no sense of belonging to the Han Dynasty.

When looting Han villages, they were also very ruthless, in order to snatch money and food, they continued to kill people wantonly, and even burned the entire village later, even children would not let go.

Liu Zheng heard the fourth child's explanation, and at the same time looked at the bonfire, the young man with a big knife in his hand, this person is not burly, and even has a little thin body, but from the scars on his face and the deep look, it can be seen that he is a moody and short-tempered person.

Perhaps this is also related to the fact that he was a slave in the Xianbei tribe since he was a child, and the lack of adequate nutrition will lead to a thin body.

These people sat around the campfire and muttered, not knowing what to say, and Liu Zheng couldn't understand the language used, and it was too far away that even if they could understand it, they might not be able to hear what they were saying.

It was only half an hour later, as the flames of the bonfire gradually decreased, Sun Yang got up and shouted a few times.

The horse thieves scattered around him began to gather around him gradually.

The fourth child next to Liu Zheng heard Sun Yang's shouting, and hurriedly came to Liu Zheng's side at this time and said a word to Liu Zheng.

"My lord, then Sun Yang told us to prepare now, and we can go."

Liu Zheng looked at the sky, the night sky at this time was completely dark, and only the flame in the middle emitted some light, and it was best to attack the county seat at this time.

In addition, the members of this gang of horse thieves should have gathered here, and if there are still people who haven't come, they probably won't be able to come.

Therefore, Sun Yang and they should not be willing to continue to wait.

After Liu Zheng heard the hint from the fourth child, he immediately stood up, turned around and looked at the more than 30 brothers behind him, and Zhou Tai and Gan Ning immediately understood. These people who were immediately summoned followed Liu Zheng's side and gathered towards Sun Yang.

Liu Zheng and the others approached Sun Yang, these horse thieves, but they were not in the core position, but they were arranged to stand in a relatively close position, from this position, Liu Zheng could see that the fourth horse thief was not the core members of Sun Yang at all.

However, it is precisely because none of them are core members that Liu Zheng's impostor was not discovered.

The gang didn't even count the number of people, and after getting up directly, they got on their horses and began to gradually approach the location of Huang County.

Because the sound of the galloping horses was huge, they did not gallop, but slowly approached Huangxian, after all, in the dead of night, if the ground shook the mountains, it would soon arouse the vigilance of the city guards who had already been asleep in Huangxian, and they needed to launch a round of impact after approaching the gate of Huangxian County, and directly break through the city gate and enter the city.

Liu Zheng and the others silently followed behind this group of horse thieves until they reached the outside of the county seat of Huang County.

When they were not far from Huang County, these horse thieves quickened their pace, and when they gradually approached, they directly picked up the bows and arrows they were carrying, and shot at the city tower from a distance.

The flaming arrows slid across the night sky and quickly landed on the tower.

Some of the men and horses attracted the attention of the city tower outside the city, and the other part of the people had gradually approached the city, and the siege equipment entrusted by the war horses was a fierce attack on the city gate at this time.

Bang bang bang. Accompanied by arrows that ignite like sparks in the night sky. The calm night was broken, and a long-planned siege battle against Huang County began.

Huang County, who was originally dimly lit and was asleep, gradually woke up at this moment with the footsteps of the horse thieves attacking the city, and the lights became bright.

However, there were more than 200 defensive soldiers on the city tower, most of whom were on duty, and there were only about 100 soldiers stationed on the city tower at this time.

These people are not even manpower to carry defensive equipment, and where can anyone inform the rest of Huang County to come and defend together.

In less than a moment of incense, the city gate was already crumbling.

Liu Zheng and his men and horses hid among these people who attacked the city wall. He had wanted to stop the horse thieves from attacking the city.

But at this time, there were only more than 30 people under his command at this time, and if he was exposed to being besieged by these more than 700 horse thieves at this time, the outcome would not be known, so Liu Zheng was not so impulsive.

He planned to wait for the 1,000 sailors under his command to approach here before thinking about attacking this group of horse thieves.

But his 1,000-strong army is only infantry after all, and there are no war horses, so it is impossible to come from that side in a short time.

can only wait for this group of horse thieves to enter the city, and then Liu Zheng will come to intercept Hu.

And in order to grasp the news of these horse thieves, he could only temporarily endure among this group of horse thieves and follow them into the city.
