The dust burned from the bonfire fell to Yangguan in the cold air in the early morning. Shishan, who had already woken up in the middle of the night, shook the dust on his clothes. After hearing the sound of the small drums, he just counted one or two teams under his jurisdiction, and after confirming that one person was a lot, he received breakfast for twenty-five people.

Each person had a can of thick wheat kernel porridge and mustard lumps soaked in salt water. The first batch of people who went up to the city walls had an extra dry cake.

Shi Shan greeted Chen Jian, who was squatting there drinking porridge. Chen Jian choked a piece of pickled vegetables in his mouth and couldn't speak. He waved his hand at Shi Shan, waved his chopsticks and pulled a bunch of wheat grains and choked down.

"I'm looking for you."

"What's wrong?"

"The eleven people who came back with you followed you, and they will go there later. The position of your guard city has changed, and go to the direction of the northwest corner. If you add the eleven people, thirty-six people, if there is any problem in the west or north, you will go and support me. I'll take you up and have a look."

Putting down the jar, Chen Jian called out a few more military officials, and seven or eight people climbed up the wooden tower built a few days ago. This would be his command position, with flags flying on it.

The wooden tower is about ten steps high, slightly higher than the city wall, and you can see the situation around Yangguan.

Yangguan has changed a little compared to before. After being reinforced, the four corners of the city have a platform about six or seven steps wide, protruding outward, like a pregnant woman's bulging belly.

Chen Jian pointed to the platform in the northwest corner and said, "Shishan, you will be there with people, and you will put more people in each corner. You guys will tell me why you should put more people there?"

After a few people observed for a while, the cat nodded and said, "I probably understand. The city wall is straight, and if you guard it from all sides, you can only deal with the front. The four corners are protruding out to shoot the enemy's side and back, but it's just not good-looking and not at all."

"I'll ask me to wait until we finish the war, and we will rebuild Yangguan. Ji Xia, Yangguan is nearly a hundred steps long, and the bow and arrow can be shot within fifty steps. We should build a protruding platform every thirty or forty steps, so that no matter where they rushed from, they would be shot by us on the front, left and right sides."

The raccoon said casually, but the E-Feng beside him was stunned, but when he looked at the city wall, he felt it made sense.

He came to see how the people in Xiacheng fought. He had followed his father several times, but he had never defended the city.

I thought defending the city was to put people on the city wall and shoot arrows in a row, but I didn’t expect that there were so many sayings on a city wall.

The raccoon muttered a few more words, and Chen Jian nodded and said, "That's it. It's still far from their people who want to capture Yangguan. I'm not worried about how to guard Yangguan at all. This is a trivial matter. I hope you can learn something from this guarding the city, which is the most important thing."

He turned his head and looked at several military figures, and seemed to say unintentionally: "A few days ago, I heard someone muttering... I have some opinions about the people who have passed the assessment and taught their children in the school. The raccoon is thinking well, so let me ask you, raccoon, even if the raccoon is to be repaired, how can we ensure that our people can shoot and kill people on both sides to the greatest extent?"

The raccoon looked at each other in the distance and said, "How could I know, this is not what I said. Ji Xia, I have always supported you. If you really cultivate such a city wall, there will be a lot of people in the army. Don't you say it often, your head is also a kind of strength, and I believe this."

The few people next to him lowered their heads, and E-Muel glanced at Chen Jian, who was a little smaller than him. Looking at the enemies in the distance, she didn't expect Chen Jian to be so calm, as if she didn't care about these people at all. Whether it was pretending or anything, at least this mentality of siege that she was still unmoved, E-Muel felt that she was much worse.

He is the son of the Nine. He was forced to learn arithmetic since he was a child. The Nine was proficient in the Nine, but the graphics were not good. Now, after hearing what Chen Jian said, I recalled that I had heard Chen Jian talk about several times in Xiacheng. At that time, I just thought this thing was fun, but I never thought that this thing could be used as a sword, halberd, bow and spear, and could kill the enemy...

"The head is also a strength..."

E Ming muttered this strange thing, thinking about the protruding city walls that the raccoon said, and gradually tasted a different taste in this seemingly strange thing.

When Chen Jian was in the city leisurely seized any opportunity to instill knowledge, it was also a power. Most of the grassland tribes outside the city were thinking about the robbery after the city was broken.

The two ethnic groups inside and outside Yangguan are completely different. They are not only skin color, but habits, language, but a kind of difference in bones. Perhaps it is too early to say that civilization and barbarism have already taken shape.

In the camp near the woods, Hammer knelt on the ground and asked the tribe's witch spirit priest to sprinkle some burnt horse hair on his head to let the spirit of war protect him from victory.

The Dawu tribe was also with him, and they selected more than 30 people, all of whom wrestled and wrestled the most. They were the first people to climb the city together with the warriors of the other tribes.

The wooden ladder and leather shield that were made overnight were distributed and were not used to using it, but their natural instinct naturally made them understand that they should put the shield on their heads, especially in front of their eyes.

As the skin drum sounded, Hammer grabbed a handful of soil and smeared it on his face. Dawu walked to each warrior and gave them some horse-hair amulets he had made overnight, and gained dozens of touches.

The sun rose and dried the dewdrops on the dead grass. Warriors of all races gathered together, drank a bowl of blood, waiting for the start of the battle.

The old leader commanded so many people for the first time, and it was the first time he faced a battle like siege. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't come up with any good idea. He just felt that a group of people rushed to the city wall and supported the ladder and rushed up.

He had never attacked the city, but fought other battles, so he left enough people to put in the camp, and sent a hundred people to restrain him from the east and west, with the main attack in the north and feint in the south.

The tribes in the southeast also sent selected warriors as the first group to climb the city. More than 600 tribesmen picked up their own bows and arrows of varying lengths and walked to the north of Yangguan, gradually approaching 200 steps away. They still couldn't shoot at such a long distance, so they could only continue to move forward.

The land is very flat, and the only thing that makes these people confused is that there are a few strange wooden poles standing every ten steps. It is obviously planted by people, but they don’t know what to do. They think it may be a kind of sacrificial use, so they don’t care.

Hammer and others followed the archers, looked up at the figures on the city wall, and found that they were not very panic.

A layer of wood was built on the front wall, covering the chests of the people in the city, only black heads were exposed.

A tribe named Toby next to Hammer was carrying the ladder side by side with him. He also saw the combat effectiveness of Xiacheng people with him a few days ago, so he was a little nervous at this time. He deliberately shook his hands, coughed loudly, and talked in a nagging manner, hoping to arouse other people's responses to dispel the uneasiness in his heart.

"Hammer, there are only a few dozen people in the city facing us, very few. We should be able to rush up, right? Ahem..."

"Yes, don't be afraid. They are also humans and don't have two heads. Haven't you killed them with me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, two strange sounds of breaking through the air came from the city gate. The man beside Hammer subconsciously squatted and almost pulled Hammer down.

Hammer was about to curse a few times when he heard a scream from afar. Two pointed wooden sticks as thick as ponytails flew out from the city gate, one shot into the dense crowd, penetrated one's belly, and the other didn't shoot and stuck in the soil.

The two groups of Mu** who could only pull a few people shot to death only one person, but the tragic and wailing before that person died still cast a shadow on the hearts of the people of the grassland tribe.

A group of people next to the dead man dodged to both sides in panic, crowding the people next to him.

Hammer spitted and scolded, "A timid person as a groundhog."

Fortunately, the leaders sent people to beat the people, which made the team's panic stop temporarily...

In the city, Chen Jian stood on the wooden tower and watched the enemies gradually approaching the city. He found the ladder and leather shield carried by a group of people behind him. He didn't think too much about it, because he had seen ladders and leather shields too much, so he didn't expect that the other party had just learned it.

Standing on the wooden tower, staring at the wooden poles. The wooden poles that were erected in advance were used for distance measurement. They had been buried a few days ago to estimate the distance between the enemy and the city. There was always a large error in the eyes to observe.

Because the city is not big, the more than 600 enemies outside the city cannot be deployed on the front line, and can only be arranged in depth, with a dense formation.

The group of people in front had reached about one hundred and thirty steps, but were still moving forward, and their bows could not be shot so far.

The messenger beside him held the drumsticks and heard Chen Jian's orders, he immediately beat the war drum as agreed before.

Eighty new army archers stood on a small platform made of wood and soil, and could not see the situation outside through the city wall, but the new army archers commander heard the drums and shouted: "One hundred and fifty steps, the third wood, ejection."

The new army archers were not very good at shooting, but at least they knew about the angle of lifting up to shoot over the city wall and 150 steps away.

With a command, the archers pulled the arrow behind their ears, and their bows were clattering. This was Xia Cheng's advantage, and the bow could be shot farther than the people outside.

Whoosh...

Eighty feather arrows flew out at the same time, without the momentum of flying locusts like rain, they turned into afterimages in the air and fell under the city.

Feather arrows fell sparsely around a wooden pole. The people of the grassland tribe were only guarding against people on the city wall, and they did not expect that the feather arrows would fly out of the city.

More than twenty people were caught in the arrow, but before they could retreat, another feather arrow flew out, and this time it landed near another wooden pole.

The team was already in panic. The three-wheeled feather arrows were not shot in the same position, and the killing effect was pretty good. They shot more than fifty people and more than ten died.

The leader's scolding spread throughout the battlefield, and the injured were carried to the back, and the three-wheeled feather arrow finally advanced to about 120 steps.

The tribe members on the grassland pulled their bows of varying lengths and shot towards the city walls, and the feathered arrows twitched on the wooden boards and soil.

A shield was on the top of a stone mountain in the northwest corner of the city wall. He quietly looked through the chassis and turned around and said, "Don't worry, we will get up when they approach the city wall."
