Chapter 217
"Duh~"

Feathered arrows were nailed to the battlements, and a white cloth was tied to the arrow shaft, which should be a book of war or something.

The arrow tail is still trembling, which shows that the arrow has just been released not long ago.

Seeing the Xianbei people running away, Wu Xian stepped forward, pulled out the arrows nailed to the battlements, and said with a smile:
"It seems that the archery skills of the Xianbei people are not very good. They can't hit such a big city tower. Compared with my big man archer, they are far behind. Let's see what is written on it!"

Open it at will and have a look, the above is nothing more than surrendering early, otherwise, when the city is broken, no chickens or dogs will be left behind.

The handwriting is decent, but I don't know how to speak human words.

Qiu Zhiqing glanced casually, then handed over the city defense matters to Wu Xian, and went back to the county government by himself!
Without Qiu Zhiqing present, Wu Xian began to deploy his defenses boldly. There were a total of [-] soldiers in the city, and the four Qus led young and strong men to guard the four gates.

Wu Xian personally led the more than [-] pier guards who returned to the city to serve as a reserve team.

Min Yong led a group of young men to operate four Perak chariots.

Zheng Yan is responsible for coordinating logistics.

Qiu Zhiqing looked at the busy figures in the water curtain. Can a freshman team block the attack of the Xianbei army?Qiu Zhiqing also had doubts in his heart.

But it doesn't matter, if it doesn't work, he will make a move!
Switching the perspective to the sky above the Xianbei army, in the Xianbei army camp, there was no chaos as imagined, but the camp began to be built in an organized manner.

Even though it was getting late, they still set up refusal horses in the tents and prepared for anti-sneak attacks.

It doesn't look like a group of rogues going south to rob at all, with a rudimentary form of an army.

This is difficult to deal with, not afraid of looting robbers, but afraid of forming an organized army, these are two concepts.

Just when Qiu Zhiqing was fascinated by it, a leader-like barbarian walked out of the big tent and gave a few orders, probably to strengthen his defenses and beware of enemy attacks.

The leader, after finishing his orders, did not enter the big tent.

Instead, he looked around curiously, as if he was looking for something.

Qiu Zhiqing knew what he was looking for at a glance, so he turned his perspective away and continued to watch the Xianbei camp under construction.

According to Qiu Zhiqing's little knowledge, Xianbei rarely attacked the city directly, and usually looted.

Most of the previous looting targets were Youzhou Liaodong, and last year was the first time it appeared in the Bingzhou area.

But looking at this posture now, this is the sweetness of the sneak attack last year, and I want to do it again this year.

Sure enough, once the wolf smells the blood, it will only become more brutal. If it can't deal a head-on blow, it will only become more rampant after giving it a full meal.

The north wind continued overnight, and the temperature had dropped to freezing point.

This is also the coldest time of day.

As soon as the sky was dawn, Pingcheng became lively. After a night of freezing, ice squats were neatly placed next to the thunderbolt car.

Frozen and hard lumps of ice, the effect of hitting people is no worse than the effect of stone bombs.

In the next room, there are also rattan balls soaked in tung oil, which can be replaced at critical moments.

While the city of Pingcheng was busy, there were also new changes in the Xianbei camp in the north of the city.

Teams of hundreds of people whistled out and headed in all directions!

"What are they doing?"

It was Hu Lai, another Marquis under Wu Xian who asked the question. This was his second time on the battlefield. To this, Qiu Zhiqing looked at the Xianbei camp in the distance with a solemn expression, and didn't bother to answer.

Wu Xian also took a look at his subordinate who usually seemed to be very alert, and was a little speechless.

After Hu Lai asked the question, he felt stupid and tried to make amends: "They must have scattered and looted, Sima, should we attack?"

Wu Xian just wanted his subordinates to shut up quickly: "No need to attack! Yesterday the Ming court sent people to notify all registered villages to go into the mountains to avoid bandits. We just need to guard the county town and wait for reinforcements!"

After all, he looked at Qiu Zhiqing, expecting his affirmative answer, Qiu Zhiqing remained silent, he didn't even know if there were reinforcements...

"I'm going to Cui Yi Cui for breakfast, there may be a probing attack later, Zong Fei, I'll leave this to you!"

Although Qiu Zhiqing didn't get an affirmative answer, Wu Xian was both nervous and excited when he was about to command a battle of defending the city, so he quickly responded!

Qiu Zhiqing's prediction was correct. As soon as he returned to the county government office, the Xianbei army began to test and attack the city.

Wu Xian looked at the 5000 or so Xianbei army outside the city, slowly approaching, followed by about [-] people.

It was a lie in my heart to say that I was not nervous. I looked around, and it was winter, but the soldiers were sweating nervously on their foreheads.

The big Han implements the military service system for all people, and all adult men have received military training.

This can be seen from Zhaojiazhuang, let alone a border county like Yanmen.

Apart from having never been on the battlefield, these young men have basically passed the military literacy, they only need to pass the test in their hearts!
Qiu Zhiqing was in the county government office, holding the bronze seal of the county magistrate, observing the movement outside the city. It could be seen that in Qiu Zhiqing's eyes at this time, the Xianbei army outside the city gathered into a cloud.

This kind of cloud is difficult to observe with the naked eye. Only by opening the sky eye, or like Qiu Zhiqing at this time, borrowing special props.

The cloud is a little scattered and not solid, reflecting the barrier above the county seat.

Compared with Qiu Zhiqing's first observation, it was a little more solid, and this is the result of what people want.

It's just that these phenomena, apart from suppressing extraordinary power, have no known effect!

The Xianbei army began to advance, forming three formations outside the city, two adjourned, and a square formation of 3000 people, dismounted and began to go to the city gate.

Naturally, it is impossible for them to attack the city directly. Their task at this moment is to push away the antlers and fill up the trenches!
Qiu Zhiqing originally wanted to go to the city, but he was worried about putting pressure on Wu Xian, so he had no choice but to use the mirror technique to observe the battlefield.

The water mirror technique peeping... Observation is easy to be noticed by people with keen perception, and it will be modified in the future.

Wu Xian looked at Fangzheng who was charging Xianbei, half riding a horse and starting to cruise, half holding a small shield and starting to approach the city wall to clear the obstacles, and he had a plan for the Xianbei people in his heart.

"Pass down the order to prevent the enemy from riding and shooting!"

"Orders! Sima has orders, and he wants to prevent the enemy from riding and shooting!"

After the messenger got the order, he quickly spread Wu Xian's general order throughout the city wall.

"wind!"

The east wind blows, the war drums beat!
A battle drum, accompanied by the shout of "wind", spread throughout the entire city wall. The soldiers received the order, bowed their bows and set arrows one after another, waiting for further orders!
"wind!"

"wind!"

Two "wind" roars, a row of arrows rained out from the city wall, drew a perfect arc in the air, and fell straight into the Xianbei pawns who were about to destroy Juma!
"shield!"

The Xianbei infantry, who had expected it for a long time, raised their homemade small round shields one after another...
