Standing on the city wall, Liu Bei, Chen Meng, Zhang Fei and others had a panoramic view of the rebel actions outside the city wall.
"Brother, can I still lead my troops out?" Zhang Fei looked at Liu Bei eagerly, and then asked.
"Ask fourth brother."
Chen Meng had an urge to say bad words in his heart. At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, his eldest brother was really good at playing football.
"Third brother, why don't we wait a little longer?" Chen Meng said weakly.
Zhang Fei looked at Liu Bei. Liu Bei was concentrating on looking at the rebels outside the city. He didn't know if he had seen his third brother. Zhang Fei saw that his eldest brother was ignoring him, so he could only look at Chen Meng:
"Fourth brother, your third brother just wants to have a good fight. If I, Zhang Yide, can't have a good fight with the enemy next time, then I will have a good fight with you."
"Third brother, I will definitely let you go next time." Chen Meng said firmly to Zhang Fei.
After Zhang Fei received Chen Meng's reply, he no longer stayed here and went to command the soldiers to defend elsewhere on the city wall.
The rebels outside the city, after carrying back the bodies of the rebels killed by Guan Yu, pulled off the armor from the dead rebels and put them on the living ones.
Two hours later, hundreds of rebels wearing Zha armor appeared again, indicating that the rebels' operation to fill the moat had begun again.
Looking at the rebels outside the city, Chen Meng couldn't help but sigh: "Never underestimate the ancients!"
Xu Hu's approach not only successfully prevented the troops in the city from harassing them, but also successfully carried out the action of filling the moat.
Xu Hu looked at his masterpiece with some pride, and suddenly realized that he seemed to be very military-literate. Xu Hu glanced at the troops on both sides of the city wall. Since placing troops on both sides of the city wall, the troops in the city have never come out to make a sneak attack.
After passing it, Xu Hu could be sure that his actions had completely prevented the sneak attack by the army in the city.
After half a day of filling the river, two roads for pedestrians have been filled in on the moat. At this rate, three more roads for pedestrians will definitely be filled tomorrow. With these five roads for pedestrians
Xu Hu believed that he could arrange an attack on the city the day after tomorrow.
After nightfall, the rebels outside the city finally finished their hard day's work of filling the river, although fortunately it was only those few hundred people who suffered. These few hundred people rested their bodies, and the remaining more than 10,000 people rested.
The other is the throat.
According to the county magistrate's requirements, no residents are allowed to take to the streets after nightfall. However, those who are obedient at any time are good citizens, and those who have ulterior motives will not take these requirements into consideration at all.
Pingyuan County, the east courtyard of the city.
In other courtyards in the city, the lights had already been turned off, but the meeting hall in the courtyard here was still brightly lit. There were three people in the room, discussing something in low voices.
"Today General Xu Hu has led an army of more than 10,000 people to attack Pingyuan City. When General Xu Hu's army reaches the city wall tomorrow, we can prepare for action." Wang Han said to the other two people.
The other two people were Zhu Kui and Li Qing who spoke for Wang Han last time.
"Your Majesty, I heard that today, the troops in the city killed nearly two hundred of General Xu Hu's elite warriors in one encounter. Will this have a negative impact on our plan?" Li Qing asked Wang Han.
.
Zhu Kui next to him was also staring at Wang Han, and he seemed to have the same idea as Li Qing.
"You two are worrying too much! General Xu Hu now has tens of thousands of troops in his hands, so the death of two hundred people will not have any impact.
We now need to find out the defense situation of the four city gates as soon as possible, especially the east city gate. Now General Xu Hu is leading his troops to attack the east city wall. If we can capture the east city gate, it will be most advantageous.
Also, we need to find out the situation of the county magistrate's residence as soon as possible. I have inquired clearly. Now the county magistrate's family members and the family members of several other people are there. If we can capture their family members, then they will definitely
Surrender without a fight."
Zhu Kui and Li Qing nodded silently after hearing this.
After receiving the order, Zhu Kui and Li Qing each returned to their respective residences. Each took a few agile retainers with them and went to the city gate and the county magistrate's mansion to inquire about the situation.
After receiving the order to defend the city gates, Zhao Yun and Tian Yu selected two hundred of the most elite soldiers from the army. Forty soldiers were assigned to each city gate. For the remaining forty soldiers, they each led two
Ten people are patrolling around the city. If any city gate is attacked, two people can quickly provide support.
The forty soldiers guarding the city gate were divided into two teams of twenty men each, and the two teams took turns guarding.
In the direction of the city gate, deer antlers are placed not far from the city gate as the first barrier to defend the city gate.
The soldiers guarding the city gate are each equipped with a spear, a ring-headed sword, three bows, and three crossbows. The bows and arrows use a total of thirty-six arrows, including thirty armor-piercing arrows, two hammering arrows, and a crescent moon.
There are four arrows and fifty crossbow bolts. Although the soldiers are few, they are well equipped.
According to Chen Meng's suggestion, all private houses within 100 meters of each city gate must be demolished. However, Liu Bei disagreed and strictly prohibited soldiers from demolishing private houses. In desperation, Chen Meng could only specifically instruct Zhao Yun and Tian Yu.
People, please be careful of these private houses.
Hiding in these houses and then launching a surprise attack on the city gate is the best way to sneak attack on the city gate.
This is indeed the case. At the East City Gate, in a private house less than 80 meters away from the East City Gate, Zhu Kui was hiding inside with a few retainers, carefully observing the defense of the East City Gate.
Behind several people, there were several corpses. Blood was still flowing out of the bodies. It looked like they had just been killed. These killed people were the owners of this private house.
Zhu Kui was a little depressed and jealous at this time. It was Zhu Kui who was supposed to go to inquire about the county magistrate's residence, but was snatched away by Li Qing.
Zhu Kui also knew very well that in the next few days, the battle here at the city gate would definitely be a fierce battle, and it would be a thankless task. But it would definitely be easier at the county magistrate's mansion than here at the city gate, and after taking the county magistrate's mansion, it would be even easier.
Being able to plunder something inside first, such a good thing, I naturally grabbed it.
"Damn it, Li Qing. You kid, you used a woman to steal my opportunity. I'm really angry. If I have the chance, I will definitely vent this evil spirit in my heart."
When Zhu Kui was getting angry, the doorman who had been observing the city gate suddenly said:
"Master, it's time to change defenses."
Zhu Kui looked outside and checked the time.
"There are forty soldiers guarding the east city gate. We changed the defense at the beginning of the year and recorded it." Zhu Kui said to several visitors.
Several people waited here for a while, and seeing nothing unusual, they quietly left the private house. This chapter has been completed!
