Chapter 612: The Siege
Seeing the army assembled, Qiu Mingyuan's first reaction was to observe, he had led the troops for many years, and almost all of them became a natural reaction.
It can be seen that the army of this Zhuzhu County is obviously composed of two parts, one part is dressed in strange green clothes, but with experience, I know the benefits of this clothes, and it is not too good to hide the figure. Moreover, these people are elite at a glance, full of energy, gathered and motionless, and once they run, they move in unison, and at first glance they are from the hands of people who are skilled in military training.
Qiu Mingyuan remembers clearly, Wednesday Mountain once said that it was a woman who commanded the troops in Zhuzhu County, Qiu Mingyuan was noncommittal at first, but now he has to face it.
The other part is somewhat similar to the army system of Daliang, but it obviously seems to be a lot rabble. And judging by the reaction of the people, it seems that they are also very unfamiliar with this army.
"Where are they going?" Qiu Mingyuan casually inquired about the people around him.
"Newly moved?" But the man asked rhetorically.
"Exactly." Qiu Mingyuan didn't deny it, and he couldn't deny it, he knew by listening to the accent that he wasn't a local.
"Haha, I'll just say, let me tell you, it's really a blessing for me and the people to live under the smelting of your mothers." The man immediately began to talk about what political affairs are clear, how official affairs are, how they were in the past, and how they are now, but unfortunately they don't recruit sergeants now, otherwise he will also go to join Yunyun, and then he said that the fine style of this army, what kind of treatment and benefits it is to join, and how it is loved by the people
Qiu Mingyuan's patience in listening, although he has heard a lot of it, but a small number of them have heard it for the first time, and then he has some doubts in his heart, he opens his mouth and closes his mouth, they are all mothers, and they have never heard of Zhou Shaoyu's name, which makes Qiu Mingyuan feel very bad.
"It is said that a few days ago, Li Niangniang sent troops to rob the grain of the Lu family in Jingxian County, and won a big victory, haha, robbed well, what virtue does the Lu family have, how can it be Li Niangniang's opponent......" The man chattered for a long time, and the two troops had almost disappeared, so he said: "This time it is said that I am going to attack Dongshui County, and I don't know what the reason is, but since Niangniang acts like this, she naturally has her reason, I tell you, eh, don't go." ”
Qiu Mingyuan is stupid, attack Dongshui County! slapped his thigh, knowing that he was wrong, Zhou Shan asked him to report the news, but he delayed for several days, Zhou Shaoyu must have thought that other forces occupied Dongshui County, otherwise how could he be so decisive.
I didn't want to think about it, so I hurried to the county office.
However, Zhou Shaoyu and Li Xiuning have already left, leaving Diao Chan who is in charge, Wu Meiniang and Li Lizhi who are in charge, as well as Xiao Qiao and Foot Trainer and Wang Yan, all of whom don't know Qiu Mingyuan, as for Zhou Sanshan's letter, Wu Meiniang, the only one who has seen Zhou Sanshan, is not sure whether it is a handwritten letter.
However, this kind of thing is not a joke, just in case, the women discussed, and quickly sent a fast horse, so that several guards called escorts were actually surveillance, and went to intercept Zhou Shaoyu's report together.
It's a pity that it's good to die, Zhou Shaoyu chose a mountain path to march quickly in order to avoid exposing his tracks, anyway, the total number of people is not much, and the few people are better here, and the mobility is strong, otherwise there will really be an army of tens of thousands, and it will be a bit nonsense to take the path.
In this way, Qiu Mingyuan naturally pounced, and wanted to report to Wednesday Mountain first when he entered Dongshui County, but several guards in the company were not allowed, and before Qiu Mingyuan's identity was determined, how could he dare to release people easily.
Qiu Mingyuan had no choice but to wait at the east gate and wait for Zhou Shaoyu to lead the army over.
At this time, Zhou Shaoyu had already met Yang Miaozhen who rushed from Wuxian County in the mountains, adding up to a total of 1,800 people, and there were even Wan Qiaoqiao with them.
"Why are you here too?" Zhou Shaoyu is quite strange, so much so that he either dislikes it or is puzzled, after all, Wan Qiaoqiao obviously doesn't know how to march and fight.
"A few days ago, I just researched a catapult, and I heard that Zhou Lang wanted to attack the city, so I came to experiment one or two." Wan Qiaoqiao took out a few drawings from his arms, and pointed to a few people who were obviously not sergeants.
"Haha, Qiaoqiao, you are really my timely rain." Zhou Shaoyu was overjoyed, there was no gunpowder, no bows and arrows, the catapult was a siege weapon, and the help was not too great. I was excited for a while, and I couldn't help but hug and kiss him, I love my concubine, what is it.
Suddenly, Wan Qiaoqiao's face is not too pink, an ancient girl, where can she stand it in public, it is good to be able to hold back her shame and not slip away, but she has long been used to Zhou Shaoyu's difference.
Compared with other county seats, the city walls of Dongshui County are relatively intact, and it is obvious that the newly occupied group of people have been temporarily repaired, and there is no gap to use.
Wan Qiaoqiao has been in charge of Wuxian Shanhuai Pavilion and the logistics and financial encyclopedia of the cottage, in addition to being in charge of various workshops part-time, for a long time, with the title of the big housekeeper, although Zhou Shaoyu was cultivated, but it is also Wan Qiaoqiao's own high understanding, not to mention mathematics, physics, is also self-learning very fast, now there is such a surprise, Zhou Shaoyu is not too strange.
"If this city is down, you should be credited." Zhou Shaoyu said with a smile.
Wan Qiaoqiao was happy when she heard this, compared to the beginning of the crossover, Wan Qiaoqiao is now much more cheerful, only to hear her smile and say: "What's the use of the concubine's body for that military merit?" ”
Zhou Shaoyu raised his eyebrows, moved over and said softly: "Then do you have a chance to accompany you more at night?" ”
"Bah, ......" Wan Qiaoqiao suddenly snorted, this is not serious, but it is very bad.
Because there were not many people, there were only more than 1,000 people in total, so it was naturally impossible for such a few people to besiege the city, and there was no even need to disperse, what Zhou Shaoyu had to do was to drive away the forces in the city, not necessarily completely exterminate, so after discussion, it was finally decided to concentrate in one place and attack the west gate, which was the most dilapidated city wall.
Because of the reason for building a catapult, Zhou Shaoyu did not choose to raid, this is not an attack on the Lu family, a real raid, the casualties must be much greater, yes, Zhou Shaoyu directly led the army to set up a position at the west gate, while testing the reaction in the city, while letting Wan Qiaoqiao lead people to build a catapult. And the flag that was played was naturally no longer the Vermilion Bird Flag, but a copper coin logo was drawn casually, anyway, it was just to hide people's eyes, it didn't matter.
At the same time, in Dongshui County, Wednesday Mountain received an urgent report, saying that someone in Ximen was camping and preparing to attack the city, how could this news not surprise Wednesday Mountain, this Chenghuizhou, except for those few in Fucheng, who has the spare strength to attack its city? And isn't Dongshui County next to Makitake County?
Rushing to the city wall and taking a look, people can't see clearly, but the banner of the copper coin is obviously not recognized, and I don't know which way it is.
