The first ray of light in the morning shone into the house through the wooden window, and Guo Shao could smell the moist and fresh atmosphere of the morning from the air. With the help of Luo Mengzi, he had just put on two layers of armor, including the chest plate armor, and the outer ring lock armor.

Luo Mengzi was talking beside him: "I know I don't have any skills, but I understand that my elder brother is capable! Just like this time, if I were not able to make a fortune... I know that I am just a soldier and I can't hope to be an official. However, I also think that the stingy woman at home can have such a day, eat well and dress well, but the little money and food to be a soldier will be too small. In the future, I will benefit from my elder brother, 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 mixed memories of his previous life flashed through his mind. For a moment, he felt a little uneasy.

At this moment, suddenly, an old man wearing bamboo slabs knocked open the door, kicked the door and fell down, gasping and coughing. Guo Shao raised his chin gently to indicate that Luo Mengzi hurriedly stepped forward to help the old man up.

"Qi, the Khitan soldiers are here!"

After hearing this, Guo Shao took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and said quickly: "Third brother, immediately ring the gong and gather all the people and notify the second brother that each department will enter the position as scheduled. Be wary!"

Luo Mengzi's face suddenly became solemn, and he clasped his fists and said, "I'm sure!"

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 said with a glaring eyes, "I didn't dare to stay for too long, 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 jagged knife on the wooden frame and hung it on it. Finally, he took the bow and quiver and walked out of the door. The "clang" gongs outside kept ringing, and the dogs barked and the chickens flew around, which became lively for a while.

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

At this time, a heavy and neat footsteps sounded behind him, and Yang Biao led twenty or thirty fully armed imperial guards to gather at the gate of the city. On the other road, three sergeants were deployed to the center of the city, which were dozens of old and weak. These people were old, but they all worked in the army, and they chose people who had the strength to farm. In addition to poor physical strength, they were better than pure civil servants. In this era, civil servants were not easy to use because they could not use weapons at all and had no sense of battle formations.

Soon there were a burst of riots in the city, and most of the sounds were "de-order". The village soldiers were divided into two groups, one was arranged in place, and a small group was scattered to the city walls on all sides. Some old and weak civilians around them also took bamboo poles and followed them up from all sides to the walls on all sides.

After a while, Yang Biao, Luo Mengzi and several ten generals of the village also 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 riding on horses. Gradually, it was possible to tell from the armor that they were indeed Khitans.

After the Khitan State 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 were different. Han soldiers mostly wore integrated slings, and the Khitan soldiers had iron helmets and ear protection, and ear protection was like both sides of dog leather hats, which may be the reason why the Khitans were colder. In addition, the breastplate and the fluorene headband at the waist were also not the same.

The seven or eight horses did not move forward one or two hundred steps away, turned around the city wall and circled the city wall, but still did not get close. After walking like this for a long time, they 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, "I was scared away when I saw our formation!" Yang Biao said, "It may be just a scout team. Seeing that there were defenses around the city, the young people were unwilling to enter rashly and go back to report the message." Luo Mengzi said, "Then will they come?" Yang Biao snorted and said, "You have to go to the Khitans to ask."

Guo Shao shouted loudly: "I ordered 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 for food to be delivered by each family."

It was a long wait, but everyone seemed to be very calm. Anyone who had experienced military conquests also understood that most of the time they were either walking or working or waiting in the war, and there was not much time to fight. So this situation is normal now.

But the wait this time was not long. Not long after, a large group of people appeared in sight. When they got closer, they could see clearly the size of the opponent. There were 20 or 30 cavalrymen, and large infantrymen, about 12 or 15. The infantry held spears, moving like a dark wood; the cavalrymen had different weapons, some were spears, some were a hammer, and the tops were like large garlic. Guo Shao had been in the army for four years and knew that this thing was called "Bone Duo", which was a blunt weapon. In addition, it seemed that many people also had bows and arrows and iron swords.

What is strange is that there is a group of people in front of the enemy soldiers who seem to have no weapons. At first glance, it looks messy. When we get closer, we will confirm that those people are ordinary people. The people are driven to walk sadly, and from time to time there are whips "crackling" on them, screaming and crying. There are women inside... Obviously, the wars of this era do not care about women, children and civilians; we have to wait until humans endure more cruelty and everyone has tasted it before they are willing to 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.

"Bitch!" Luo Mengzi cursed in his voice.

Guo Shao ignored the scolding. He felt that it was not very good now: the Khitan came not the scattered soldiers, but the established army, more than 100 armed people. Looking back at Wuqi Town, there were only twenty or thirty people, which were considered a force, and the others were a group of old and weak, with incomplete weapons... Guo Shao suddenly felt that this battle was a bit in danger. But there was no other way, so he could only deal with it. At this point, can it be fine if he beat a white flag and said he would 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 in front of them and the pit dug. Three more horsemen rode out from the opposite side, not coming up to shout, but just circled around the city again.

Guo Shao thought to himself: Stop looking, I have chosen the best offensive route for you.

There are walls and deep ditches on both sides, and there are traps in 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, there are big roads, and the city gate is just a wooden nailed door, which is full of light-transmitting holes. If you don’t directly break open the city gate, the cavalry will rush in first, so why bother?

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

When the driven people approached, Guo Shao and others saw clearly the clothes they were wearing. They were almost worn out, with patched cotton and linen clothes of varying shades, and some were even ragged, all of whom were poor farmers. I think the rich and powerful people had already run to the town when they heard the wind, and of course they would not wait to be arrested... Because the Khitan army had poor siege capabilities, it was generally difficult to capture the more solid cities, and it was 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.
