The first ray of light in the morning shines into the house through the wooden windows, and Guo Shao can smell the moist and fresh smell of the morning from the air.

With the help of Luo Mengzi, he had just put on two layers of armor, with the chest plate armor inside and outside wearing ring lock armor.

Luo Mengzi was talking a little by the side: I know I don’t have much ability, but I understand that my elder brother is capable!Just like this time, if I were not able to make a fortune... I knew that I was just a soldier and couldn't hope to be an official.But, I also think that the stingy woman at home can have a day, eat well and dress well, but the little money and food to be a soldier is too small.I will benefit from my elder brother from now on, hehe...

Guo Shao thought to himself that even Luo Er had such thoughts, and I'm afraid others would want to have some luck, but only this guy would say it out of his mouth.

He patted Luo Er on the shoulder and said kindly: As long as the elder brother has something, he will definitely not treat his brother badly.

When he heard Luo Mengzi mention the woman at home, he couldn't help but touch the auspicious talisman hanging around his neck. He thought of Yulian for a while, and then the miscellaneous memories of his previous life flashed through his mind.

For a moment, I was inexplicably restless.

At this moment, suddenly, an old man wearing bamboo slabs knocked open the door, kicked the door and fell, gasping and coughing.

Guo Shao raised his chin gently to show, and Luo Mengzi hurriedly stepped forward to help the old man up.

Qi and Khitan soldiers are here!

After hearing this, Guo Shao took a deep breath, calmed down, and said quickly: Third brother, immediately ring the gong and gather all the people and notify the second brother that each department would enter the position as scheduled.alert!

Luo Mengzi's face suddenly became solemn, and he clasped his fists and said: "Good it!"

Guo Shao then turned around and asked: How many people are there?

I only saw a few cavalrymen, all of which were not Han people in armor and weapons... The old man glared and said, "I didn't dare to stay anymore, so I quickly ran back on the small road."

Guo Shao took out a half-foot dagger from the head of the bed and hid it in his arms, then took the barrier knife on the wooden frame and hung it on it. Finally, he took the bow and quiver and walked out of the door.

Outside, there were constant sounds of gongs, and dogs barking, and chickens flew around, making them lively for a while.

He walked straight up to the city wall, and several soldiers followed him to the city.Looking into the distance, I saw the shadow of a cavalry coming slowly at the end of my sight.

At this time, a heavy and neat footsteps sounded behind him, and Yang Biao led twenty or thirty fully armed imperial infantry to gather at the city gate.

On the other road, three sergeants were deployed to the center of the city one after another. They were village soldiers composed of dozens of old and weak.

These people are older, but they all have worked in the army and choose people who have the strength to farm. In addition to their poor physical strength, they are better at using them, which is much better than pure civil servants. In this era, civil servants are not easy to use because they do not know how to use weapons at all and have no sense of battle formations.

Soon there were a burst of clamor in the city, and most of the sounds were in awe.

The village soldiers were divided into two strands, one stranded in place, and a small strand scattered to the city walls on all sides. Some old and weak civilians around them also followed the walls on all sides with bamboo poles.

After a while, Yang Biao, Luo Mengzi and several ten generals of the village soldiers climbed up to the city one after another, and continued to look around with Guo Shao.

After waiting for a long time, the small group of cavalry outside slowly approached, with eight people all riding on horseback.Gradually, we can roughly tell from the clothes and armor that it was indeed a Khitan.

After the Khitan Kingdom entered the Hebei region, it learned a lot from the Han people in all aspects, including armor. At first glance, it looked roughly similar, but it was still easy to find the difference.

First of all, the hats are different. Han soldiers mostly wear integrated slings. Khitan soldiers have iron helmets and ear protection, and ear protection is like both sides of dog-skin hats. This may be the reason why the Khitans are colder.

In addition, the breastplate and the fluorene headband at the waist are not the same.

The seven or eight horses did not advance one or two hundred steps away, turned the horse's head and circled the city wall again, but still did not get close.After wandering around like this for a long time, I simply turned around and ran away.

The people on the city wall sighed for a while when they saw this. Luo Mengzi laughed loudly and said: Seeing our formation, they were scared away!Yang Biao said: It may also be just a scout team. Seeing that there were defenses around the city, the few people were unwilling to enter rashly, so they went back to report the news.Luo Mengzi said: Then will they come yet?Yang Biao snorted and said: You have to go to the Khitans to ask.

Guo Shao shouted loudly: I'll order everyone to rest on the spot and not leave.If there is nothing to do at noon, I will send someone to the streets and alleys to call each family to deliver food.

It was a long wait for nothing again, but everyone seemed to be very calm.

Anyone who has experienced military conquests also understands that most of the time they are either walking, working, or waiting in war, and there is not much time to fight.

So this situation is normal now.

But the wait this time was not long, and soon a large group of people appeared in sight.

When we got closer, we could see the size of the opponent clearly. There were 20 or 30 cavalrymen and a large number of infantrymen, about 12 or 15.

The infantry held spears, moving like a dark wood; the cavalry had different weapons, some were spears, some were sticks, and the tops were shaped like large garlic. Guo Shao had been in the army for four years and knew that this thing was called Guduo, which was a blunt weapon.

In addition, it seems that many people also come with bows and arrows and iron swords.

What is a bit strange is that there is a group of people in front of the enemy soldiers who seem to have no weapons, which at first glance looks messy.

Only when we get closer can we confirm that those people are ordinary people.

The people were driven to walk in a mournful manner, and from time to time there were whips crackling on them, screaming and crying in a hurry.

There are women inside... Obviously, the wars of this era are completely ignorant of women, children and civilians; we have to wait until humans endure more brutality and everyone has tasted it before we can sit down and set rules.

This Khitan soldier has no siege equipment, but it seems that there is no need for any equipment to attack a wall like Wuqi Town.

Bastard!Luo Mengzi cursed in his voice.

Guo Shao ignored the scolding. He felt it was not very good now: what the Khitan came from was not scattered soldiers, but a built-in army, more than 100 people armed to the teeth.

Looking back at Wuqi Town, there were only twenty or thirty people, which were considered a force, while the others were a group of old and weak, and their weapons were not complete... Guo Shao suddenly felt that this battle was a bit inauspicious.

But there is no other way, so I can only deal with it with it. At this point, can it be fine if I raise a white flag and say that I surrender?

The Khitan soldiers gradually approached and still stopped one or two hundred steps away. Some of the people in front were lying on the ground and crying sadly, desperate as if they saw the coffin prepared for them and the pit dug in front of them.

Three more horses rode out from the opposite side, not coming up and shouting, but just circled around the city again.

Guo Shao thought to himself: Don’t look at it, I have chosen the best offensive route for you.

There are walls and deep ditches on both sides, and there are traps in the deep ditches. Even if no one defends it, it is very difficult to climb in from the wall; only the city gate on the south side is easier, there are no pits or roads, and the city gate is just a wooden nailed door, with light-transmitting holes everywhere.

If you don’t just break open the city gate and the cavalry will rush in first, why bother with it?

As expected, the Khitan soldiers did not move in the direction and directly whipped and drove the people to rush towards the city gate.

After the driven people approached, Guo Shao and others saw clearly the clothes they were wearing.

Almost all of them were worn out, patched cotton and linen clothes of varying shades, some even dressed in rags, all of whom were poor farmers.

I think the rich and powerful person had already run to the town when he heard the wind, so of course he would not wait to be arrested... Because the Khitan army has poor siege capabilities, it is generally difficult to capture a relatively strong city, so it is safer in the town.

The whole army is in place!Guo Shao shouted.

After Yang Biaosui, Luo Mengzi and others responded, they got off the earth wall and then shouted the troops arranged in the city gate to retreat to the streets and alleys on both sides.

At this time, the sound of bowstrings sounded outside the city, and the Khitan cavalry fired arrows randomly, shooting and killing the driven people from behind.

In fear, the people screamed and cried and headed straight to the city gate. Perhaps there were Khitan soldiers disguised as they were inside.

Wuqi Town was short of bows and arrows, so naturally it was impossible to stop the rioters from the wall. Guo Shao looked back at the last time, and turned around and jumped off the earth wall.
