Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty-Four Monsters, Ghosts, and Ghosts Reveal Their True Forms Tonight
Not doing it according to the enemy's speculation is called doing the opposite.
Instead of pretending to protect the granary, Li Chi summoned two thousand soldiers to dress up as the people to attack the granary, so everyone in the granary was stunned for a moment.
These soldiers did not bring serious weapons, and they held messy things in their hands, including iron forks, sticks, and even large iron spoons. What's more, they might not have found a suitable thing, and they came with a pair of cymbals and slapped while walking, which shows what kind of industry they should be in at home.
It's probably doing idle things.
"Distribute the grain!"
"Distribute the grain!"
"Distribute the grain!"
These people gathered at the gate of the granary and shouted loudly, but deliberately kept it outside the range of the defenders' bows and arrows. At the beginning, they only surrounded them without attacking or attacking, but kept shouting the slogan of distributing grain.
Gao Shengda climbed up the wall and shouted loudly: "You all know clearly. It is a death sentence to hit the granary and a death sentence! If you don't retreat, don't blame me for ordering arrows!"
In the crowd, a fifth-rank general looked back at Li Chi. Seeing Li Chi standing in the distance, he took out the crossbow hidden under his long robe, slowly moved forward in the crowd, and whispered to his subordinates to squeeze forward while walking.
Li Chi once told that if Gao Shengda did not appear, the people in the granary might shoot arrows and force them back directly. If Gao Shengda appeared, it means that he did not intend to shoot directly at the people surrounding the granary, so he could continue to put pressure forward.
So the soldiers began to step forward, shouting loudly as they walked.
On the wall, Gao Shengda saw that these people had reached about ten feet away and knew that they could not get closer, so he shouted loudly.
"Arrowman!"
The soldiers on the wall began to lift their bows and aimed at the people outside, and the person who was pressing forward stopped immediately.
"We don't have food to eat, open a warehouse and share the grain!"
"Open the granary to help the people!"
"Open the warehouse and distribute grain!"
The soldiers shouted with great effort. Li Chi had already explained that he would not really hit the granary without orders. In that case, there would inevitably be losses and wait for the signal to act.
The fifth-rank general was also the helper left by Prince Yu to Xiahou Zhuo. He was originally a confidant of the governor Zeng Ling, and he had no general position. He was promoted to general before Prince Yu led his army to leave, and he also transferred him from secret to the open place.
His name is Jinzhu.
The soldiers hid in the crowd and took a look at the distance. It was about ten feet long, and it was not difficult to hit the crossbow.
With the help of his subordinates, he lifted the crossbow in the crowd and shot Gao Shengda on the wall several times.
Several crossbow arrows suddenly flew over, and Gao Shengda didn't notice it at all. The people outside shouted too loudly, blocking the sound of the crossbow...
Gao Shengda is a civil servant, and his martial arts are already ordinary. Without any defense, he was hit by several crossbow arrows. Fortunately, he was wearing armor and a heart protection mirror under his official uniform. The crossbow arrow in the center of his heart was blocked by the heart protection mirror and made a crisp sound.
But Gao Shengda was not wearing all armor, and a crossbow shot into the lower abdomen and immediately fell backwards.
"Everyone come on."
The soldiers in the crowd shouted, and the people behind began to light up the torches that had been prepared long ago and threw them into the wall. All the people in the granary were blown up, and they hurried to put out the torches.
The people behind passed the shields they had prepared before and used the shield to block the feather arrows on the wall.
In the distance, Yu Jiuling was frightened.
"Li Dadiu, you don't really plan to burn the granary, are you throwing so many torches inside. If it is ignited, the people in the city will inevitably be in chaos."
Li Chi smiled and said, "I have entered the granary before, looked at the location carefully, and threw the torch.
It is impossible for the place to really ignite anything, it will just make the people in the granary panic, and they should send people out to bring reinforcements."
Yu Jiuling then realized that Li Chi and Jiang Ran went into the granary to test Gao Shengda's attitude.
Li Chi went to see the terrain, which means that this guy had already planned what to do.
As soon as they saw that the people outside had shields in their hands and the subsequent people began to pass on weapons, the people in the granary knew that things were not simple.
Gao Shengda was injured and looked back at Cui Qing. Cui Qing looked extremely ugly. He never expected that his opponent would use this move.
The granary is not to be lost for the Cui family. Hundreds of thousands of Qingzhou troops outside the city need the food here. Once the granary is really burned, let alone the Qingzhou army has no food to eat, the food and grass will not last long, even the people in the city will rebel. When the civil war changes, the Jizhou city will become ruins.
Li Chi bet on this, and the Cui family cared more about Jizhou.
"Send people out, call back all the food transport teams, and attack these enemies from outside."
Cui Qing pondered for a moment and ordered.
It was not a random way he thought of, but he knew that the grain transport team actually had no intention of attacking the city gate, so it was not a matter within the plan, but just made the enemy think that it would be like that.
His men left from other places separately and hurriedly chased the team transporting grain.
At this moment, the four grain transport teams had arrived in the four cities. They were transporting food downwards. Before the truck was unloaded, the people who reported the news from the granary arrived. When they heard that the granary was besieged, the people in the granary team didn't even want the big truck. They told the defenders to unload the truck themselves. Something happened to the granary, and then rushed back in a hurry.
When they rushed back to the granary, they found that the people besieged the granary had retreated. They looked messy, but in fact they did not suffer any losses.
The countless torches thrown into the granary compound have been extinguished, which is a false alarm.
About one mile away from the granary, Li Chi and the others looked here from a high place with a thousand miles of eyes.
"The people who entered the army were staring at each other, and they would see anyone who went out."
Li Chi looked at the direction of the granary and said, "The people of the Cui family may be unable to calm down. They will send someone to ask the manager to discuss countermeasures. If no one comes in a hurry, it means that the manager of the Cui family is in the granary."
Yu Jiuling asked, "Kill the person in charge?"
Li Chi nodded and said, "If someone comes, kill him before entering the granary. If no one comes, then he doesn't want to go out again in the granary."
In the granary, Cui Qing walked back and forth with a pale face. He turned his head and looked at Gao Shengda and asked, "How is the injury?"
Gao Shengda said: "It should be nothing serious, I have already taken the medicine."
Cui Qing said after a nod, "They suddenly attacked the granary. It seemed that they wanted to force the grain transport team back, so they still felt that we would attack the city gate. The person who designed the plan calculated the right time to pretend to be besieged the granary and forced the grain transport team back, and even let us throw the big cart away, so that we could not use the big cart as a defense when attacking the city gate."
Gao Shengda thought and said, "It seems that this is the case. They can't determine whether we will attack the city gate or which city gate we will attack. So we use this method to force our people back. First, it can prevent us from seizing the city gate, and second, it wants to trap all our people in the granary. They have already seen that we will not burn the food."
Cui Qing nodded and said, "He is a smart person, but he is still not smart enough. They think we are trying to seize the city gate? Under heavy troops, it is not easy to seize the city... Since they think so, let them think that they have succeeded."
Cui Qing continued: "Tell people to strengthen the guards, so that people outside can see that we are ready to fight for the back. In addition, don't send people out..."
After he took a breath, he swept to everyone around him and said in a heavy tone: "Everyone, I said last night that if you want to accomplish great things, you must sacrifice.
Sacrifice, today is the time for us to exchange for our family’s great cause with sacrifice.”
"We may all die. If the enemy knows our identity, they will send more troops to attack the granary. All we have to do is to hold on here and hold on until dawn tomorrow at least."
"If anyone among us is lucky enough to live until tomorrow, we can see our army attacking Jizhou, and we can see the Cui family's flag flying at the top of Jizhou."
Cui Qing raised his voice and said loudly: "Today I live and die with you. I have decided not to send anyone to ask for reinforcements. If you don't want to fight with me, you can leave now."
"Fight to the death!"
The people from the Cui family raised their arms and shouted.
"Our family has been planning for more than ten years for this day, and there is no need to lose."
Cui Qing reached out and took a long sword and walked out: "If the family members see that we do not send people to ask for help, they will understand our determination, and they will also try their best to seize Jizhou. Therefore, if they die today, I will die before you."
After he finished speaking, he stepped onto the wall, and the people from the Cui family took up weapons and followed him. For them, this battle was not only related to their personal life and death, but also to their family's survival.
Two hours later.
The people sent by the incoming soldiers found Li Chi and reported that no one had broken through the granary, which showed that the people in the granary were ready to fight to the death.
After hearing this, Li Chi nodded and said, "Tell the general of the sect to attack only, do not lose too many brothers' lives, just make a feint attack. The victory or defeat is not in the granary."
"yes!"
The soldier responded, turned around and ran out.
Yu Jiuling already knew what Li Chi's plan was, and then he understood what Li Chi asked him to investigate had to do with the granary.
"It seems that tonight is the time for the Qingzhou army to launch a large-scale attack."
Yu Jiuling looked at Li Chi and said, "Do you want to inform Xiahou and Pidi now?"
Li Chi said: "They all know and are ready. Tonight will be a fierce battle, but the winner must not be the Qingzhou army, nor the Cui family."
Yu Jiuling was still a little worried. He hesitated for a while and asked, "What if there is anything unexpected?"
“Not allowed.”
Li Chi said: "The Cui family wants to seize Jizhou for many years, but I also want Jizhou. Although I just want it not long, since I want it, I can only want it... The difference is that the people in the Cui family are anxious but I am not anxious."
Li Chi turned and went downstairs: "It's time to have a meal. After dinner, when it's dark, the old people said that monsters and ghosts will show their true colors after it's dark. I want to see if the real person who makes the decision will show their true colors after it's dark."
Yu Jiuling was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "If the true form will appear after dark, what if you also show your true form? I have always suspected that you are a monster."
Li Chi shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "If I show my true form, I must be the biggest and most powerful monster."
He just replied casually, but Yu Jiuling thought seriously about what is the biggest and most powerful monster in the world.
So his eyes were blurred. Seeing him like this, Li Chi asked with a smile: "Are you thinking about the most powerful monster? What do you think is the most powerful monster?"
When Zhuang Wudi heard this, he couldn't help but think of the dragon in his mind.
The dragon was given supreme status by people, but in fact it was also a monster.
At this moment, Yu Jiuling also gave his answer firmly.
"Major horse monkey!"
Yu Jiuling said: "It must be a big horse monkey. When the elderly scare children, the big horse monkey is the most powerful."
Li Chi: "..."
