——————————————

The soldiers gathered urgently, and the soldiers came to the defensive position. Seeing the night in the distance, a group of Hu soldiers and cavalry ran over quickly, shouting and rushing to kill on the road, and quickly rode their horses under the city wall. The Hu soldiers in front set a few arrows on the city wall, turned around and ran back.

"Which is this performance?" Qian Xiaoxing was very strange to see that they didn't even bring a ladder to siege the city.

After a while, Hu Bing retreated, and Lu Shengzhong scratched his head. He was puzzled. Qian Xiaoxing realized it and laughed: "So that's it, Hu Jun has also begun to harass us in reverse."

Lu Shengzhong looked at all the soldiers who stood up to fight the enemy and said, "But their harassment is still effective, which has caused us to all rise up to defend the city. Why don't the cavalry go out to chase them?"

"Not good." Qian Xiaoxing waved his hand and said, "If it is a trick to lure the enemy, we will suffer a loss. Let them be happy this time. Wait for the next time, hum!"

Lu Shengzhong asked curiously: "How can we deal with it next time?"

Qian Xiaoxing whispered a few words in Lu Shengzhong's ear. Lu Shengzhong immediately laughed and replied happily: "Okay! Just do it like this."

But after saying that the Hu cavalry was harassed, he went back to report, saying that the Si army was waiting for the city to be defended and harassed successfully. Peng Guangyi laughed out loud and finally let out a sigh of anger, saying, "If you use his own way, you will treat him, Qian Xiaoxing, let you harass me."

Meng Zhongzhan was also very happy. Originally, Hu Bing should have come to harass him at this time, but he didn't come today. It seems that the plan is effective. He said, "When you wait a little later, we will send cavalry to harass him, so that they can taste the taste of not sleeping at night. I've been so sleepy these few nights, so I'll go to bed first."

"Okay, leave the rest to me." Peng Guangyi replied.

In the middle of the night, eight hundred Hu army cavalry came out of the camp and moved the horse-rejecting pile in front of the camp gate. They spread out in four directions, with 200 people from each route, each riding towards the four gates of Qingyu City.

The current date is early August, and the weather is quite hot even at night. However, there is still a gentle breeze blowing by the moat, making people feel refreshed. Qian Xiaoxing simply took a mat and spread it on the city wall, slept here while basking in the moonlight, waiting for Hu Jun to harass him again.

Just as he was sleeping in a daze, the soldiers came to report: "Chief of Staff, Hu soldiers are here again."

Qian Xiaoxing got up and said, "Okay, ask our cavalry to prepare immediately!"

The soldier retreated and notified that Qian Xiaoxing came to the city wall and looked into the distance. As expected, a row of cavalry ran over in the night. After approaching the city wall, he shouted loudly to attack the city.

However, before he could shout a few words, the war horses under his crotch knelt on the ground and overturned the cavalry to the ground. Seeing this, Qian Xiaoxing immediately ordered: "Put down the suspension bridge and fight out!"

The soldiers of the Clan Cavalry Regiment were waiting at the city gate, and when the suspension bridge was all put down, they rushed out with shamans. At this time, the Hu cavalry outside were already in chaos. Some of the cavalry had just gotten up from the ground and were about to ride back and wanted to escape. The war horse knelt down after a few steps. After a few people squeezed, the scene became chaotic.

After the Zongheng Cavalry Group rushed out, they began to attack from behind the Hu soldiers. The Hu soldiers sent only 200 cavalry at one city gate, while the Zongheng Cavalry Group sent 1,000 cavalry at each city gate, immediately surrounded the Hu soldiers. The Hu soldiers who wanted to escape were immediately chopped over to the ground.

The Hu cavalry wanted to organize a counterattack, but the war horses fell from time to time and could not form a combat formation at all because they were all trapped. It turned out that Qian Xiaoxing took advantage of the Hu cavalry's return and asked the soldiers to dig many small holes on the ground in front of the city wall. The diameter of the hole was about 20 centimeters and about half a meter deep. As long as the horse's legs stepped in, the war horse would definitely be knocked down.

These holes are like mines, scattered randomly in the area beside the city wall. After digging, the holes are covered with thin wood chips. After sprinkling some soil, there is no abnormality.

Of course, some places were not dug, for example, in front of the suspension bridge, you have to leave a road for your cavalry so that you can go out quickly.

Yang Qing looked at the war horse that was kneeling in front of him and shouted: "Do you want to die or not live anymore! Don't surrender yet!"

The Hu cavalry saw that the Si cavalry were several times more than him, and the war horses had no combat ability in the trap formation, so they had to submit and raise their hands to surrender.

At the four city gates, except for a few Hu cavalry who had not entered the trap formation, they ran back, and the others were captured and taken into Qingyu City and imprisoned.

In this battle, the Si army seized more than 600 war horses and captured more than 600 prisoners. Seeing that the results of the battle were good, Qian Xiaoxing laughed and said, "Didn't Hu Jun send us war horses? I wish they could come a few more times."

Although Lu Shengzhong used strange tricks to defeat the enemy for Qian Xiaoxing, he still couldn't help but praise: "Seventh brother, you have used a small trap array to make Hu Jun come and go. I think Hu Jun will never dare to come again."

"But we can't send cavalry out anymore. Hu Jun knew that using this method could drag cavalry, and that would also imitate it. If we want to send cavalry to harass us, there would be danger." Qian Xiaoxing reminded.

Lu Shengzhong praised: "It's still the seventh brother who thinks it carefully, but we will be ready tomorrow night for the two of us to have a hot air balloon, and there will be a show to watch then."

"Haha," Qian Xiaoxing was also looking forward to that moment and said happily: "Hu Jun just wait to accept the scattered flowers of the goddess."

In the Hu army camp, Peng Guangyi and Meng Zhongzhan learned that only more than a hundred people had run back when the 800 cavalrymen ran back, and were very shocked. They hurriedly asked about the whole story. The soldiers reported how the cavalry were trapped in the trap formation and then captured by the cavalrymen.

Peng Guangyi felt sorry for the loss of these cavalrymen, and suddenly realized why he couldn't think of this method and immediately ordered the soldiers to dig such a trap array everywhere, wanting to use his own way to cure him. Peng Guangyi looked forward to the Si Jun coming to harass him again.

In two days, more than a dozen siege cars will be built. As long as you persist for another two days, everything will be over. Peng Guangyi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and he never thought about living such a harassed life again.

During the day, we were in peace. When night came, two hot air balloons slowly rose from Qingyu City. The refining blowtorch was whistling and the flames were extremely dazzling. A guard company soldier was riding on it, and there were a large number of refining bombs in the basket.

The hot air balloon was led by a long rope, and it slowly released with the wind direction like flying a kite.

Anyway, there are Hu Bing camps around Qingyu City, so there is no need to worry about where the wind blows. When the sun goes down, the hot air balloons will soon float above the Hu Jun camp.

Some Hu soldiers were surprised to see the floating objects in the sky. Everyone watched curiously. They were watching seriously. Suddenly, a fire bottle fell from the sky. After landing, it was full of explosive power. The splashing fire range was very large. The soldiers were burned. The crowd immediately became in chaos and fled everywhere. The soldiers on fire rolled on the ground, hoping to extinguish the flames.

Then, the refining bombs were thrown down one by one, and they all greeted people in the crowd. Hu Bing ran around and around, crying and calling out to his mother.

Some Hu soldiers pulled their bows and shot arrows, but the height of the hot air balloon was so high that the bows and arrows could not be shot at all. Hu soldier had no choice but to watch the refining bombs thrown down one by one, igniting the tents and supplies.

When Peng Guangyi and Meng Zhongzhan heard the report, they immediately ran over to check. In the navy blue sky, the light emitted by the two flamethrowers was particularly conspicuous. Peng Guangyi said in surprise: "What is this? Why can it float in the sky? Is it Si Jun's weapon?"

Three questions in a row made Meng Zhongzhan not know how to answer. Seeing the abandoned refining bombs burning rampantly, he said helplessly: "With Si Jun having this ghost thing, how can we fight?"

Peng Guangyi looked around and saw that there were basically no soldiers under the hot air balloon. He said, "Although people can run far, the supplies and tents were burned. It seems that we can't do anything to be idle at all. Qian Xiaoxing is really tricky."

The refining bomb on the hot air balloon had been thrown out. The soldiers on it opened and closed the flamethrower and sent a signal. The Si Jun in Qingyu City immediately pulled the rope and slowly pulled the hot air balloon back.

Seeing that the hot air balloon finally withdrew, Meng Zhongzhan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Speaking of this, this damage is still limited, but it can throw it wherever it wants. It's so troublesome to come and go."

"Then what can I do, and what else can I do?" Peng Guangyi sighed and began to order the soldiers to put out the fire. After many attempts, Hu Jun knew that he could not extinguish the fire with water. He provoked sand and mud to cover the fire.

Slow smoke came out of the camp, extinguishing the fire. As soon as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, they saw two glowing objects floating over from the distant sky.

"Fuck!" Peng Guangyi couldn't help but curse: "They are here again, here again!"

Meng Zhongzhan reminded: "What are you still doing? Run and let the soldiers move first."

"What should I do if that thing?" Peng Guangyi asked.

Meng Zhongzhan said anxiously: "When is it? I still care about things and saving my life is important."

Under the hot air balloon, Hu soldiers basically ran away, and the refining bombs could only go to the tent and supplies. The camp that had just put out the fire began to burn again.

Looking at the burning camp, Peng Guangyi gritted his teeth and said, "Qian Xiaoxing! You bastard, don't let me catch you, otherwise you will definitely be crushed and ashes!"

The hot air balloons hovered over the Hu Jun camp for a while and also raging for a while before returning to Qingyu City.

Qian Xiaoxing looked at the fire in the Hu Jun camp, and there was no power to fight back when attacked. He also understood why air supremacy is so important in modern warfare. Qian Xiaoxing asked the soldiers on the hot air balloon to come down to rest, and then go back to the substitution, so that the Hu Jun camp would continue to attack.

After the soldier came down, he came to Qian Xiaoxing to report: "Chief of Staff, this hot air balloon is so good. Hu Jun cried and shouted to his parents. And on it, he could see clearly the deployment of Hu Jun camp. I found that they were building a lot of siege cars, but the hot air balloons did not float over and could not cause damage."

"Siege Car?" Qian Xiaoxing became nervous after hearing this and said, "Okay, I understand. Go and call the brigade commander over here."

"Yes!" The soldier saluted and stepped back.

After a while, the little soldier called Lu Shengzhong over and Qian Xiaoxing asked: "Brother Zhong, they are building siege cars. How do we deal with it?"

Lu Shengzhong laughed and said, "Without anybody, what are you afraid of when you have refining bombs? I think they are just making it for us to play with it."

The soldier reported: "Chief of Staff, Brigade Commander, I have seen siege cars before, but the Hu Jun built this time differently. Two long poles stretched out from the front of the car, and many wooden boards hung on it, as if something strange."

"Oh, there is also this situation." Qian Xiaoxing thought for a while in confusion, but he didn't understand, so he said to Xiaobing: "Draw a picture for me and I'll see what Hu Jun is doing."

He took the paper and pen, and the soldier drew according to what he saw. Although the drawing was not very good, he could roughly draw the shape.

Qian Xiaoxing looked at the drawings and saw that there were many wooden boards hanging on his outstretched arms, and the interval was relatively large. He immediately understood and said to Lu Shengzhong: "It seems that Hu Jun is not stupid either. Those wooden boards are specially used for our refining ammunition."
