Water is not an arrow. If it is blocked by a shield, it will flow down, fall on people's heads and faces, and then penetrate from the neck into the body. The ice is biting, and everyone can't stand it immediately, and they don't even bother to hit the city gate.

Several more buckets of water were brought up. Qin Huaidao picked up a bucket and poured it down hard, shouting: "Quick, bring more water and pour it on the people on the ladder."

Xue Wanshu saw the trick and shouted excitedly: "Except the archers, everyone else will go down to fetch water."

Anyway, the enemy could not climb the city wall, so it was useless for the sword-and-shield soldiers and auxiliary soldiers to stay on the wall. After hearing the order, everyone rushed down to the city. After a while, more water loads came up.

"Crash!"

Buckets of water were poured down, and the people who were lifting the huge log were all chilled. A gust of cold wind came over, and they couldn't help but tremble all over. Their frozen teeth began to tremble, and they were trembling all over. They were so weak that they couldn't lift the huge log.

?

The people on the ladder were still looking at the ice frantically, trying to climb up through a hole, but they were hit by the biting cold water and shivered with cold. Their feet became unsteady and they slipped down.

The ladder got wet and became slippery when the cold wind blew. Many people climbed a few steps and then fell off.

On the city wall, the soldiers saw this scene and did not know the benefits of water. They were all excited and became more active and faster in carrying water.

"Hahaha, the ancients only knew about fire attacks. Today I have opened my eyes. This water attack is no less powerful than fire attacks. I admire General Qin's talent." Xue Wanshu shouted excitedly.

"The governor is laughing!" Qin Huaidao said politely. When he saw countless archers rushing out from the enemy, he immediately shouted: "Get down quickly and take cover against the wall. The enemy is about to release arrows."

Commanding is an art. During a war, people's nerves are very tense. If you just shout for cover, everyone will be at a loss. Especially the auxiliary soldiers who have not received relevant training and do not know how to cover at all. But if you keep shouting and cover against the wall, you will be at a loss.

It was different. Everyone instinctively rushed down the city wall to find cover on the wall.

Some guards came over to protect Xue Wanshu.

Xue Wanshu shouted: "Why panic? The enemy hasn't started yet, organize everyone to attack first."

"Commander, please get off first, otherwise everyone will be worried." Qin Huaidao suggested.

"How can I be afraid of mere arrows? Go and organize everyone to go down." Xue Wanshu shouted. The guards had no choice but to rush to organize them.

Qin Huaidao did not run away, but looked at the enemy archers who had begun to form a formation and said: "The enemy seems to be burning with rockets."

"Will it burn the ice?" Xue Wanshu asked.

"No, unless they use more than 100,000 rockets to fire at one place, we can continue to water the fire and put out the fire, and have people come up with shields and buckets." Qin Huaidao suggested.

"Good idea, hurry up and make arrangements." Xue Wanshu said to a general beside her, and suddenly found that the battle was fought easily and without any pressure.

Fang Yiai and Li Yixie rushed up with several Yulin guards, holding shields in front of them. Li Yixie said anxiously: "General, the enemy is going to attack with arrows, retreat quickly."

Qin Huaidao smiled with satisfaction. The two of them also knew that the general was at the top of the city, so they came up to protect them, but they did not retreat. They looked at Xue Wanshu and smiled and said: "Captain, why don't you just act as a sentinel here and watch the enemy's performance? The commander is on the city wall, all the people are here."

The people of the city will definitely be at peace."

"What a great idea, hahaha, why don't you dare? Back then, I was also a fierce warrior, and I still killed thousands of people." Xue Wanshu laughed loudly, and the passion and fighting spirit in her heart were aroused.

As a veteran general, he naturally understands that the more indifferent he is, the more dangerous he is, the more courageous the soldiers will be, the more at ease the people will be, and the city will not be in chaos.

This is what is said about the general being the soul of the soldier.

Several guards quickly showed off their shields to protect Xue Wanshu.

Through the gap in the shield, Qin Huaidao saw that the enemy had drawn his bow, and looked at the soldiers who were descending from the city. They were all hiding under the city wall, squatting still. This position was a blind spot. Unless the arrow fell vertically, it would be impossible to hit it.

.

But arrows outside the city cannot fall vertically.

As expected of a frontier soldier, his experience in protecting lives is not bad.

"Canopy!"

Countless arrows whizzed in, almost covering the sky above Yingzhou City, and the sky was filled with darkness, which made people feel frightened.

Before everyone could react, countless arrows hit the shield hard. Yu Linwei's shield was very strong and airtight, blocking all the arrows.

damage.

A dense rain of arrows fell on the house, making a crackling sound, but the thatched roof was also frozen, making it difficult for arrows to penetrate. The walls were also frozen, and the arrows left small pits before falling.

Qin Huaidao laughed when he saw this scene and shouted: "Commander, a few more rounds, the arrows will be enough without forging."

"Hahaha, not bad!" Xue Wanshu also shouted excitedly.

"Puff Peng Peng!"

Waves of arrows came roaring, and the life-threatening screams in the past were like sounds of nature at this moment. Xue Wanshu was excited when she saw the arrows all over the city, and shouted: "General Qin, thanks to you this time, otherwise I wouldn't even know

What should we do? This Yingzhou will definitely not be able to bear it. Now I wish they would have more rounds of arrows."

"The governor is rich in experience, how can he not stand up to the small camp, just kidding." Qin Huaidao said politely, looking through the gap, the enemy archers were still shooting arrows, but slowed down, a large group of people holding shields,

The guard came over with the knocking wood, preparing to continue banging on the door.

The city gate hole was not frozen yet and must not be knocked open by the enemy. Xue Wanshu did not need Qin Huaidao to remind him this time and decisively gave the order: "You bastard, come back. Send the order, three people in a group, two people holding double shields to cover, one person carrying water up.

"

Not long after, someone came up carrying water. Although people were being shot constantly, in order to defend the city, no one backed down. Buckets of water were poured down, drowning those who tried to knock on the door. They left the door behind and ran away.

As if leaving.

"Hahaha, come back when you have the guts." Xue Wanshu was in a good mood.

The enemy did not continue to send people to knock on the door. The archers continued to show off their power. After shooting for ten rounds, they finally stopped. All they could see were arrows. Xue Wanshu laughed at this scene and shouted loudly: "Old man Gao."

, I'm right on the city wall, if you have the guts, come and shoot!"

Is this because there are not enough arrows?

Qin Huaidao smiled and said: "Captain, the big family is not rich either. How can little Goguryeo have so many arrows to waste? This wave of attacks will have more than 100,000 people. It will save us a lot of trouble. Are the people in the city okay?"

"That's right, a bunch of poor people!" Xue Wanshu laughed heartily, and then explained: "Don't worry, the people will be fine. Every family has a cellar, and when there is a war, they will hide in the cellar to hide from arrows. They have long been used to it."

"Is there still this operation?" Qin Huaidao's eyes lit up, feeling that he had learned something.

"Woo——"

A horn sound sounded, desolate and powerful, and spread far away.

The next moment, everyone saw that the enemy troops began to divide their forces to surround the city, keeping an arrow's distance, and there was no way to counterattack.

But Xue Wanshu didn't care. He had escaped the dangerous danger just now. With experience, it would be easier to deal with it. He immediately told the person next to him: "Send the order to the four guards to fight the same way just now. Make preparations in advance. There must be no mistakes."

Wrong, I don’t believe they can break in.”

"Follow the order!" The other party hurried away.

After waiting for a while, the enemy troops surrounded Yingzhou but did not attack.

Xue Wanshu said nonchalantly: "General Qin, everything is within your plan. They cannot defeat them and are preparing to besieged. It is not a big problem for Yingzhou to hold on to food for two months."

"Captain, the 300,000 cattle, sheep and 30,000 horses I have brought can be slaughtered if necessary. In addition, it is best to control the food from a few days ago so that everyone can save and be prepared to survive for four months."

"If General Qin takes out the cattle and sheep, there will be no problem for four months. In extraordinary times, this governor will not be pretentious with General Qin. It is a loan from Yingzhou. Everyone in Yingzhou will not dare to forget this great favor. When the war is over

Return double and never break your promise." Xue Wanshu said gratefully. With 300,000 cattle and sheep and 30,000 horses, there is no need to worry about food.

Suddenly thinking of something, Xue Wanshu added: "The attack method is quite magical. I would like to fly a pigeon to Pingzhou and tell you something, okay?"

"What's the harm?" Qin Huaidao said nonchalantly: "We must tell Pingzhou not to attack the retreating enemies. Water attack has another advantage. It's cold and freezing. When you pour cold water, you will definitely feel the wind and cold, and wind and cold can

Infection spreads from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred, this battle will be self-defeating."

"Is there such a miraculous effect? ​​General Qin attacked medicine?" Xue Wanshu said excitedly.

Qin Huaidao smiled and said nothing. He was too embarrassed to explain such simple common sense.

Li Yixie saw that Xue Wanshu didn't believe it and Qin Huaidao didn't explain, so he said: "Captain, the general is indeed proficient in medicine and has great strength. Before departure, Princess Jinyang's illness was almost cured by the general. I'm afraid she has recovered now. Chang'an

No one in the city knows it."

"What? Qi diseases can be cured?" Xue Wanshu was shocked. Seeing Qin Huaidao's face with a slight smile, and seeing that Li Yixie didn't seem to be joking, and it involved the royal family, no one dared to joke about such a thing, so he immediately believed it and excitedly

Said: "Great, no wonder General Qin just attacked with water, I am here to fly pigeons to pass the message."

"Let's go back together. The enemy is besieging the city and it will be dark soon. They will not launch an attack in a short time." Qin Huaidao said and walked towards the bottom of the city wall.

Xue Wanshu gave some instructions to the general guarding the gate and hurried down to the city.

Stepping on the arrows all over the ground, Qin Huaidao felt a little emotional and said to Xue Wanshu: "Commander, will you let me repair it later and give me some as a gift?"

"Is it enough to give you half?" Xue Wanshu said grandly. They were all picked up for free, so I don't feel bad.

"That's enough, that's enough."

"Hahaha, let's go, I'm so happy today, it's so obvious."

The group left in a hurry and returned to the Governor's Mansion.

Qin Huaidao went back to the camp to take a look and saw that everything was normal in the troops and they were busy with various tasks, so he took Luo Zhang back to the temporary room where he had settled, spread out the map and continued to study, his eyes swept around the boundary of Goguryeo, and Luo Zhang followed him in

, asked: "Uncle, are you going out of the city to fight?"

"Did you see it?"

"I saw you looking at the map a few times, so I guessed it," Luo Zhang explained.

There was no need for his own people to be on guard. Qin Huaidao asked bluntly: "Luo Zhang, look, Huaiyuan is Liaodong in the past. This Liaodong city is an important town for Goguryeo to enter the Tang Dynasty. It is also a hub place. Youhuaiyuan is blocking the front. Goguryeo is here."

The food and fodder used for the first war must have been stored here for easy transportation."

"Why not Anshi Prefecture in southeastern Liaoning?" Luo Zhang asked.

"The two places are listed up and down. There seems to be no difference, but Anshi Prefecture is far away from the Khitan. It is across Liaodong. If Goguryeo launches troops against the Khitan, the food and grass will be far away."

Luo Zhang was shocked: "You mean Goguryeo will still attack Khitan?"

"How can others be allowed to sleep soundly beside the couch? Sooner or later, if the Khitan suffered heavy losses in this battle, Goguryeo will definitely take advantage of the Khitan army to suddenly take over the Khitan territory, and then go south to devour the Khitan army. Otherwise,
