The thieves marched four miles from the city gate. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

He stopped.

In terms of scale.

It should be between fifteen thousand and twenty thousand.

Zhao Feng turned back to Zhang Liao and said, "Brother Wen Yuanxian." ”

"Get down and get ready."

Zhang Liao arched his hand: "Huh." ”

Zhao Feng is ready here.

But the thieves did not attack for a long time, and there was no other reaction.

Zhao Feng was inexplicable.

Normally.

It should be that when you are ready, you will send someone to attack in a wave no matter what.

Even if it's just a tentative attack.

Even if you don't attack, you should send someone over.

Knowing it with affection, moving it with reason.

To put it simply, it is persuasion.

Fortunately, it didn't take long.

The anti-thieves are on the move.

But.

It's not an offense.

Instead, they divided their men and horses and went around the nine gates.

Zhao Feng's face changed.

It's a rhythm that requires both sides to attack at the same time.

Immediately ordered: "Brother Wen Yuanxian." ”

"You take Yuan Qing, Dong Gao and Xue Zheng to the West City Gate."

"All the affairs of the West City Gate are left to you to decide."

Zhang Liao arched his hand: "Huh." After saying that, he began to beckon his troops at the city gate to start changing guards.

Zhao Feng said to Zhao Goudan beside him: "Go and inform Zhou Cang." ”

"Send someone to take over the defense of the East Gate."

Zhao Goudan arched his hand: "Obey." ”

The defense of the east and west city gates was originally Zhang Liao's responsibility.

Zhao Feng thought that the other party should attack from the east gate first.

Whether it's preparing for a one-on-one assault or a tentative attack.

Therefore, there are only one hundred people of Zhang Liao guarding the West Gate.

Now see that the other side is beginning to divide the troops.

Zhao Fengcai temporarily arranged for Zhang Liao, Zhen Ning, Dong Gao, and Xue Zheng to go over to guard the West City Gate.

The men and horses led by these four men exceeded 800 and were less than 900.

Zhang Liao led two hundred Zhending county soldiers.

Zhen Ning led more than 230 county soldiers.

Dong Gao led more than 160 soldiers and horses.

Xue Zheng led two or three hundred soldiers and horses.

There are so many people who can guard for a long time.

You know, there were originally 800 people in the Nine Gates.

There are only 500 people.

Of course, if there were only so many people.

In the face of 15,000 to 20,000 enemies, the city will definitely be lost.

Fortunately, Zhao Feng is not the only one.

But it was also limited to defending the city.

If it is a field battle outside the city, Zhao Feng can only hehe.

After a while, Zhou Cang walked up and bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "Zhou Cang came to take over the defense." ”

Zhao Feng nodded: "Go get busy." ”

Zhou Cangyi arched his hand: "Huh." After saying that, he arranged the soldiers who came up with him to guard the position.

Over time.

The enemy is moving more and more.

Zhao Feng didn't know what the other party wanted to do.

said to Zhou Cang next to him: "Yuanfu." ”

"Send men to the south and north to spy on the enemy."

Zhou Cangyi arched his hand: "Huh." ”

Most of the castles have two gates.

But the walls are still on all sides.

Enemies can go up to the wall from places where there are no gates.

But when you go up to the city wall, you also need to go down to the city gate.

Then open the gates and lead the troops into the city.

Moreover, the cities are built by the river.

There is always one side that is close to the river.

Four miles south of the Nine Gates, there is a river.

There must be a river in the north and south.

It's easy to dig a moat.

Therefore, it is not easy to attack at the non-city gates.

But it's not that you can't attack.

If there are not many guards in the city.

So that the offense is beneficial.

If the city is well guarded.

Doing so will only result in greater casualties.

So it needs to be a wave first, a tentative attack.

In this way, the attacking party can judge what way to attack the city is more beneficial to itself.

Time passes.

Soon the enemy had more than half of his forces.

Less than a quarter of the men were left guarded four miles in front of the east gate.

These people who stayed behind didn't have to wait long.

began to slowly retreat.

Didn't retreat much, and then it should have been encamped.

Zhao Feng could only see a little bit of the situation.

Guess it should be camping, or maybe not.

Zhao Feng immediately said to Zhao Goudan: "Zhao Goudan." ”

"Go and call Fan Peng, Niu Zhi, and Wei Yun."

Zhao Goudan arched his hand: "Obey." ”

Not for a while.

The three of them walked over and said in unison: "Fan Peng, 'Niu Zhi' and 'Wei Yun', have seen Zhao County's order." ”

Zhao Feng nodded: "The three of you quickly go to support the West City Gate." ”

"All actions are up to Zhang Liao."

Afraid that these people would not be convinced by Zhang Liao, Zhao Feng added: "Zhang Liao is the person sent by the general to assist us. ”

"Go ahead."

The three of them arched their hands: "Obey." With that, they joined forces and left.

These three men went to support the West Gate.

More than 700 people were added to the west gate.

The total number of people is more than 1,500 or 600.

And the east city gate only has 500 people in Zhoucang.

and 1,300 men under his own command.

Three hundred of them are newcomers who have just joined and are now training in the barracks.

Fifteen hundred people in total.

There were also four hundred cavalry led by Zhao Yun.

They have nothing to do with defending the city.

Zhao Yun is now taking them to practice in the barracks.

For five days.

None of these enemies were attacking.

Not even a single tentative siege.

Zhao Feng didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the other party's gourd.

It's too passive to wait.

In the evening of the same day.

Zhao Feng is in the city gate tower.

Ten of the best sentinels were summoned.

Explained: "The city has been besieged for five days. ”

"The situation out there is not clear at all."

"All ten of you are the best sentinels."

"I'll send you out of town later."

"After leaving the city, go in the direction of Zhending to investigate the situation."

Ten people bowed their hands at the same time and said in unison: "Obey the order." ”

From the response, Zhao Feng judged that there were people who had trained by himself, and there were also other people who had taken refuge in him.

Zhao Feng nodded: "Very good." ”

"Follow me."

After speaking, he took the lead out of the gate of the city gate.

Then he led them all the way to the northern wall.

When we reached the north wall, there were more trees and stopped.

Turning to the ten, he said, "Remember this place." ”

"If there's a news report."

"I'm here too."

"Naturally, someone will pick you up when the time comes."

"Later, each person will be given five days of dry rations."

"It's up to you to get out of town."

After hearing this, all ten people nodded vigorously.

Because it was outside now, no one answered loudly.

Afraid of attracting the attention of enemy spies.

After speaking, he instructed Zhao Goudan: "Send food." ”

"Get them out of town."

Zhao Goudan nodded.

Then he began to arrange manpower and sent the dark posts down to the city one after another.

The mode of transportation is also relatively primitive.

It is the one who is transported, sitting in a basket.

Then two people with greater strength tied both sides of the basket with strips of linen cloth and slowly sent them down.

Similar to an artificial elevator.

The walls were more than four people high.

The transportation needs to be carried out by the two people above, and it will be carried out simultaneously.

Otherwise, if one side is too fast and the other is too slow, it may cause the basket to tilt.

When the time comes, the people in the basket may fall.

After transporting all ten men out of the city walls.

Until the figure disappears.

Zhao Feng turned around and went back.
