385 Strike first
Sun Chuanting thought as he walked, and soon saw the city gate in the distance. There were more than a dozen soldiers and catchers over there, and the city gate was ajar and strictly checked in and out.
Seeing him walk over, one of the leading catchers hurriedly came over to salute and said to him: "Patriarch, there are eleven people today who have no road guide and no acquaintances to vouch for, but they just said that they are from the next county, but they were not allowed to enter the city. ”
Sun Chuanting nodded after hearing this: "Without the guarantee of acquaintances, there is no road guide, whether it is begging or stuffing you with silver, you can't be put into the city." Otherwise, you know the consequences! ”
"Don't worry, the patriarch will definitely abide by the rules you set, and no one will dare to do anything bad!" The man nodded and replied solemnly.
Sun Chuanting no longer took care of the city gate, and walked along the horse road to the city.
At the head of the city, every few zhang away, there were soldiers standing guard. These people were leaning against the walls or moving their bodies. But when they saw Sun Chuanting go up, they all immediately stood up straight, staring outside, and no longer slack.
When Sun Chuanting saw this, he frowned and shouted: "The thieves of Qin Land are wreaking havoc in Jindi, and there must be no sloppiness." You have to remember that what you are doing is not for others, but for yourselves, for your families in the city behind you, you know? ”
After saying that, he raised his legs and walked towards the arrow tower above the city gate.
"I've seen the patriarch!" A hundred households immediately clenched their fists and said.
"I've seen Master Sun!" A head catcher also immediately clenched his fists, not daring to slack off in the slightest.
Sun Chuanting nodded, walked slowly to the window, looked into the distance outside the city, and asked in a calm tone, "Is there anything abnormal?" ”
Baihu and the head catcher followed him, accompanying him left and right, and the Baihu who was closer to him hurriedly replied: "There is nothing abnormal!" ”
"Yes, there are no anomalies!" The head catcher also said the same, and then added casually: "Even from the west, there seem to be more people who want to enter the city than usual!" ”
When Sun Chuanting heard this, he frowned, turned to look at him, and confirmed, "From the west?" How much more? ”
Compared with the hundred households in the health office, the head catcher is naturally more careful, after all, it has something to do with his profession. At this time, when he heard that Sun Chuanting seemed to have discovered something, he immediately thought about it carefully, his face became a little grim, and he hurriedly replied: "I confirm that I came from the west, and at this point in the past, there were few outsiders coming." The subordinates looked at these outsiders today, but they didn't care about it at first......
"What about those people?" When Sun Chuanting heard this, he immediately interrupted him and asked, "What about those people?" ”
He cursed outside the city gate for a while, and then went westward. The head catcher pointed in the direction and said, "It seems that after half an hour, no outsiders have come." ”
Sun Chuanting frowned when he heard this, he looked in the direction of the west for a while, then turned around and instructed the hundred households of the same clan: "Strengthen your vigilance, there must be no relaxation!" ”
"Yes, Patriarch!" Even if Baihu didn't care about it originally, after being asked and answered by Sun Chuanting and the head catcher, he was a little nervous, and hurriedly replied.
In line with the principle of carefully sailing the ship of ten thousand years, Sun Chuanting turned around and instructed one of the guards: "You go back to the clan, gather Ding Zhuang, and prepare a little more to the four city gates." ”
"Yes, sir!" The man agreed, and immediately went down the arrow tower to give the order.
Sun Chuanting himself turned around and walked towards the stairs, and at the same time said to the two people behind him: "You guys are optimistic, go and inspect the city defense equipment!" ”
The two of them heard this and hurriedly agreed. The defense of this generation of counties has always been Sun Chuanting's concern, whether it is the construction of city defense equipment or Ding Zhuang's training, all of them. As a result, no one has any problem with his approach.
However, before Sun Chuanting went down to the arrow tower, he heard Baihu suddenly exclaim: "Patriarch, there is a situation, patriarch, there is a situation......
When Sun Chuanting heard this, he walked upstairs quickly, approached the window and looked into the distance, but saw dust flying in the distance, although he couldn't see the situation clearly, experienced people knew at a glance that there must be a large number of cavalry coming.
He only judged it slightly, and then shouted loudly: "Ring the police gong, close the city gate, and the soldiers will go up to the city to be on guard!" ”
The sound of the "bell bell" local police gong sounded, and the police gong sounded in the distance, and all of a sudden, the sound of "bell bell" sounded throughout the city.
With a "bang", the city gate slammed shut. On both sides of the street, the shops are closing. Groups of soldiers quickly headed towards the city. The tense atmosphere suddenly permeated the county seat of Daixian.
After a while, the faint figure in the distance could be seen clearly. I saw that the cavalry of the brigade was swarming towards them, and they couldn't squeeze on the official road, and many of them stepped on the fields on both sides of the official road. The knights wore all kinds of clothes, some wore armor, some wore leather armor, some wore mandarin duck robes, and some wore black, gray, red brocade robes, etc., and so on.
This chaotic color let everyone know what their identities were, and immediately someone in the city shouted: "It's a thief, a thief is coming!" ”
The cavalry was near, and the horses were galloping so loudly that it seemed that even the earth was shaking. The rogue cavalry rushed straight to the city wall, running in an arc with a strange roar, and galloping along the wall. There are even some horsemen who are very good at archery, and they will shoot one or two arrows at the city.
The county seat of Daixian cannot be compared with those big cities, and there is no moat around the city. The momentum of the thieves' cavalry rushing straight to the city seemed to make the soldiers at the head of the city feel that the next moment those thieves would rush into the city.
On the way the thieves came, the dust was flying, almost covering the sky, and it is not known how many people are behind. The soldiers at the head of the city, seeing this scene, turned pale with fright.
But when Sun Chuanting saw this scene, he just smiled coldly and immediately ordered: "Open the cannon!"
On the head of Dai County, there are only three large general cannons, and there are only some small tiger squat cannons. After Sun Chuanting's order was issued, a deafening "boom boom" was heard continuously, which immediately overshadowed the sound of horses' hooves and waw waw strange cries outside the city.
The iron eggs flew out of the city, landed outside the city, smashed into large craters, and then jumped and rolled forward. As long as you are touched by these iron eggs, you will be torn apart, and your death will be terrifying.
Although there are only three iron eggs in a single shelling, and no more than five thieves are killed. But as soon as he thought about the sound of the cannon, the arrogance of the thieves outside the city suddenly decreased a lot. And the soldiers defending the city at the head of the city were a little more courageous.
Sun Chuanting didn't give the order to fire again, and he didn't look at the rogue cavalry not far from the city, but just looked into the distance, trying to see how many rogue infantry would appear behind the dust. That's the main force of the siege!
