I don’t know if it was because of fear of an officer or that he was born to be inferior but could not be successful. After being scolded by the officer, the archers’ counterattack quickly turned out to be decent. Some guys who were self-reliant in archery skills even ran to the front row and shot the archers under the city with their bows and arrows.

The bandits and archers shot arrows, while the other bandits took the opportunity to board the ladder, then held the machete, and crawled up quickly with their hands and feet. From a distance, Jinwencheng immediately had dozens of scars, and ants were covered with them.

The officer took a risk and looked at it, shook his head with contempt: "These idiots, such a few people are carrying ladders to attack the city? I really don't know how death is written."

The officer asked his soldiers to divide them into a ladder, then waved his hands to the soldiers holding the stones and shouted: "Take it!"

These soldiers who had been anxious and anxious immediately threw the stone in their arms, then immediately bent down and picked up a stone and threw it down.

At the beginning, the officer looked at his subordinates with a satisfied expression, secretly applauding that he had made great achievements in training and his subordinates were so skillful. However, when he saw these guys not watching the situation under the city, he was not even alone and was just throwing stones desperately, and he almost fell down.

The officer yelled: "Stop it all! You're throwing it all! They've already escaped! If you throw it away, I'll let you jump down and carry the stone back!"

Tang Feng, who was watching the battle from afar, saw the heavy rain falling from the city tower, smashing the soldiers gathered under the ladder and burst into chaos. He couldn't help but sigh and said, "Send the order, stop the troops."

After ordering, the blood was extinguished. The Shanyue soldiers, who had been uneasy, immediately let out a loud cry and retreated.

Seeing the enemy retreat, the soldiers on the city tower immediately cheered. They did not expect that the enemy would be so hard to fight. It seemed that the war was not as cruel as they thought. They just pulled the bow and threw stones and killed the enemy. How easy it was.

The soldiers immediately started talking excitedly, each boasting about how many people they killed.

Zhao Hu, who had not issued an order, was just watching the battle, was not as happy as the soldiers at this moment, but frowned.

After years of fighting, he could estimate the number of corpses under the city tower. At most, less than a thousand people died when he attacked the opponent this time, and the bandits retreated like this. Didn’t it mean that the bandits were afraid of death?

Moreover, the so-called mountain group did not show any performance. None of the enemies who had attacked the city just now were outstanding.

However, despite this, Zhao Hu also saw that these bandits were not used to siegeing the city at all. Just look at them carrying a few ladders and running to climb the city wall. At the very least, they would have to get a big wood that hit the city gate.

Zhao Hu was frowning, and Lei Ming was frowning too. He said to Tang Feng with anger: "Uncle, the mountain regiment has not been exhausted, why is it called to withdraw the troops?"

Tang Feng sighed: "We are all a little self-righteous. Siege is not as simple as we imagined. Look, nearly a thousand people were sacrificed by building a ladder alone, and none of them climbed the city tower. It seems that the siege rules that are ten times more siege are not exaggerated.

"Now that we have such a small amount of troops, don't think about training troops, it's just a death sentence!"

Lei Ming paused and said, "Oh, it's better for Mengsan to be still there. At least he should know how to attack the city!"

Tang Feng shook his head and sighed: "Oh, I guess Mengsan doesn't know either. I guess no one in the Fifth Regiment except the leader who fought for the rest of his life has ever participated in the siege. Like their small-scale fight, how could they know what steps needed to siege?

Unfortunately, in the past, our Shanyue used to seize the imperial county government and relied on the help of the city to capture the city, and we did not attack the city at all. Moreover, the city wall has been destroyed long ago, and I didn’t expect to practice it. It was too arrogant.”

"Hi, what other steps are needed to siege the city? Isn't it just to siege the city, then climb the city or break the city gate?" Lei Ming said disrespectfully.

Tang Feng nodded and said, "Yes, it's difficult for us to attack, so how can we surround us? Moreover, we don't have the equipment to hit the city gate, and there are even fewer ladders. If there are hundreds of ladders, we may have already climbed the city tower."

Lei Ming frowned and thought for a moment, feeling that he was indeed a little arrogant. He actually wanted to use a mere tens of thousands of people to break through the city with tens of thousands of people.

Thinking of this, Lei Ming said hesitantly: "Uncle, do we really have to convene 100,000 troops to ate this Jinwen City? Only by collecting all males in our tribe can we reach this number."

Tang Feng shook his head and said, "You can't recruit male members from the entire tribe. This is not a battle to exterminate the clan. And aren't you afraid of transferring people away from them and then annexing the old and the young?"

"Then ask for reinforcements from other tribes." Lei Ming said a little dejectedly. He knew that his tribe could not take over Jinwen City alone.

"Reinforcements are invited, but who knows whether they are willing to come? And it took too long to come. The reinforcements will probably only help us fight against the security division in Haibin Province. Without a city stop, we can only compete with the imperial soldiers in the mountains and forests. How can this achieve our intention to annex Jinwen County?" Tang Feng shook his head again and said.

"What should I do?" Lei Ming was anxious. Doesn't this mean that his tribe came here from afar and could not get any benefits?

Mountains and forests? The mountains and forests are now owned by the Shanyue tribe, not the same as none. And only by seizing Jinwen City, the representative of Jinwen County, can we prove that Jinwen County falls into the hands of Shanyue tribe, just like those county governments that have long been annexed by Shanyue tribe.

"Aren't we Shanyue people in this mountain forest with a radius of hundreds of miles? Send people to invite these small tribes, as long as they give some benefits, and promise that they will rob them after breaking the city, they will definitely come." Tang Feng said with a smile.

Lei Ming was stunned for a moment, then suddenly slapped his head and smiled: "Uncle wise, all these small tribes have them. As long as they attack the city, they can not only weaken their power, but also take the opportunity to annex them so that our tribe can truly control this area."

"Well, it's good that you can think so. Go and execute and send someone back to invite reinforcements." Tang Feng nodded.

"Yes!" Lei Ming saluted excitedly, turned around and ran out. Soon, hundreds of people from the Shanyue troops immediately left and disappeared into the forest.

"Uncle, they are cleaning the battlefield. Do we want to attack?" Lei Ming looked at the busy soldiers under the city wall in the distance and suggested to Tang Feng.

"It's useless. Before we rushed to the city gate, they could run into the city gate. And they also buried the bodies of our own people. They would wait until reinforcements come." Tang Feng shook his head and said.

"Oh, uncle, do you see if they will evacuate?" Lei Ming asked.

"I don't know, but it's better to evacuate so that we can easily obtain the city." Tang Feng said with his eyes narrowed.

"Well, it's just a pity for those craftsmen, but it doesn't matter. The craftsmen in our tribe are also very good." Lei Ming said casually.

"Haha, in addition to being excellent hunters, we Shanyue people are also excellent carpenters. Let the soldiers cut down trees. We need to form a camp." Tang Feng smiled.

"Yes." Lei Ming received the order.

While they were talking, Jinwencheng was very busy.

After counting, Zhao Hu was surprised by the number of carriages in Jinwencheng. There were thousands of cars. Almost a little wealthy family had one carriage, and dozens of them had more money. It seems that the wealth of the imperial people cannot be underestimated.

With these thousands of carriages, it is much easier to migrate people. However, the behavior of the people next made Zhao Hu and others frown.

These people knew that this city would sooner or later fall into the hands of bandits, and almost even the door frame wanted to be taken away, and every family was filled with a lot of items.

Zhao Hu had to set up a special force to carry out the task of reducing burdens. Each family could only have a few pieces of clothing, money, and dry food for January, and nothing else could be carried. Although the people were not satisfied, they obediently obeyed the orders under the persuasion of the troops' coercion and temptation.

Let me talk about it here. When Zhao Hu was preparing for the people to move, he first added a killing order to the strong men: "Those who leave the team without authorization will be killed! The family will stay to defend the city!"

After this order, the strong men who were unwilling to separate from their family and were a little ready to move were so scared that they dared not move. In addition, the secret guards hidden in the army induced the words "Only we stayed to intercept the bandits, our families could leave safely", the strong men also accepted their fate.

If the morale of the army is stable, what big waves can the people make? And although everyone is not satisfied with throwing away so many things, they also understand that this is for themselves to evacuate lightly and for their own good. So at most, no one complains or pity comes out as a thorn.

At the beginning, the rich families took advantage of their own carriages, and while ensuring that they would not drag down the speed of the team, they were desperately moving their belongings to the carriages. Not to mention the rich people with a warehouse full of gold and silver, even the small rich families moved all their belongings on the carriages, but their family was walking on the ground.

Seeing this, Zhao Hu could only summon these wealthy families and asked them: "Do you think it is safer to walk together with tens of thousands of people, or is it safer to walk alone with you carriages?" There is no need to think about this question, of course, it is safer to walk together with everyone, at least there is more courage.

Many wealthy households are smart people and immediately know what Zhao Hu is going to say, but the ordinary items such as door frames and other people are valuable goods, and a large part of them are food and other materials.

However, everyone soon figured out which is important, money or life. Besides, they were willing to abandon the grain fields outside the city, and they could also carry cash. Since this is the case, why do they care about this grain? They were transported to the provincial capital for sale? Isn’t that just being laughed at?
