Chapter 135
It was a cold night.
In the military camp, Pang De nodded with interest:"According to what you said, County Magistrate Wang is indeed a good official."
Li Erniu hummed and said proudly:"Of course! I have met three county magistrates in Yong County since I was a child. Except for County Magistrate Wang, no one dared to touch the Li family."
"But what about County Wang?"
Li Erniu was so excited that he kept talking:"As soon as he took office, he wiped out the Li family and distributed the things he got from the house to us ordinary people!"
"Take a close look at our Yong County. The city walls have been raised, arrow towers have been built, cavalry have been formed, and generals above the rank of marquis can wear armor, not to mention the super crossbow that can defeat the Qiang and Hu with a single arrow!"
"It's all done by County Magistrate Wang!"
Li Erniu was full of admiration:"Even when we are training, we can have sweet soup to drink and meat to eat at noon. To be honest, you didn't go to Luoyang, you got a bargain!"
Pang De nodded continuously.
He might not be clear about other things.
But he knew everything about the food.
After all, he had been here for more than a day or two, and the food standard was indeed very high.
But what shocked him the most was that Wang Hao acted decisively and killed the local tyrant Li family.
If he was not an official who really cared about the people, who would dare to do this?
At least......
In Pang De's mind,
Wang Hao was the first outsider who dared to be an enemy of the local tyrants.
You know, usually when a county magistrate first takes office, he must first establish good relations with the local tyrants in order to seek long-term development.
But Wang Hao was like the King of Hell, who came and wiped out everything!
I have to admit!
Pang De was really shocked!
Cruel enough!
Absolute enough!
Decisive enough!
Such a person is really his temper.
Pang De exhaled a long breath, secretly happy in his heart
"Erniu, Lai Zi, and Xiao Shi!"
"And you, the new guy,......Call......"
"I am Pound!"
"Oh, right, Pang De! You come with me too!"
The team leader Li Le waved his hand and ordered.
The group hurriedly stood up and followed Li Le to the top of the city.
"You probably don't know yet, right?"
Li Le pointed at the thing on the ground and introduced it with a smile:"This thing is called a sword net. It was invented by the county lord when he was defending Yecheng. It can prevent the enemy from attacking at night."
"Come!"
Li Le called out,"Everyone, follow me to unfold it and hang it on the top of the city. If the Qiang and Hu people dare to attack at night, I will make sure they are in trouble!"
""Yes!"
Immediately, seven or eight people acted together. After a while, they hung the sword net on the wall.
Pang De was not stupid, so he realized the function of this thing at a glance.
He suddenly remembered the Battle of Hanyang some time ago.
The officers and soldiers held on for six days!
During this period, they experienced too many night attacks and too many fierce battles.
In fact, for Pang De, the officers and soldiers were not defeated at all, but were exhausted to death.
Especially the night attacks of the Qiang and Hu soldiers always appeared when you least expected.
It was really amazing!
Pang De couldn't help but sigh.
If, when they were in Hanyang, there was a sword net, maybe they could hold on for two more days, not necessarily!
"Captain Li, with this thing, do we no longer need to patrol the city?"
"You wish!"
Li Le did not hesitate and directly retorted:"We still have to patrol. This thing is a dead object after all. It can hinder for a while, but not forever. We must not take it lightly!"
The soldiers:"Yes!"
Pang De was stunned.
The previous second, he was still marveling at the magic of the sword and weapon net; but at this moment, a small team leader taught him a lesson!
That's right!
Although the sword and weapon net can defend against the night attack of bandits.
But it is death after all. Once it is targeted, it still cannot be defended.
Therefore, the necessary awareness of vigilance is absolutely indispensable!
Even a small team leader can have such insight. This team is really amazing.
Pang De took a deep breath!
Maybe......
Can they really stop the Qiang and Hu attacks?
Pang De thought to himself.
"Oh, right!"
Li Le suddenly remembered something:"It's our team's turn to guard the night today. Is there anyone who volunteers?"
Pang De raised his hand without hesitation:"Captain, let me do it. I've encountered a night attack by Qiang and Hu before when I was in Hanyang County. I will definitely not take it lightly."
Li Le nodded:"Okay, you count as one, are there anyone else?"
Li Erniu also raised his hand:"Then count me in too. This brother and I can get along well."
Li Le hummed:"Okay, then you two will guard the night. Don't take it lightly! I will conduct random checks from time to time, understand?"
The two of them said in unison:"Yes!"
Pang De knew the Qiang and Hu's combat tactics too well.
Therefore!
He concluded that the other side would definitely launch a night attack tonight.
So Pang De did not dare to be negligent in the slightest. He kept his eyes open all night and kept patrolling the city back and forth.
But......
Even when it was dawn , there was no sight of a Qiang or Hu soldier!
Although Pang De was allowed to return to the camp to rest during the day, he could not fall asleep. He barely rested for an hour before getting up and going to guard the city again.
Surprisingly, the Xiliang Qiang and Hu outside the city only lined up and did not attack the city!
Moreover, the number of cavalry had dropped sharply, as if they had been transferred elsewhere.
"this......"
Pang De frowned.
He wondered what tricks these Qiang and Hu people were playing.
The most shocking thing was that it was like this for three consecutive days, with no movement at all.
On the fourth day,
Wang Hao personally went up to the city to observe.
Gao Lan, Zhang Ji and others followed closely.
"My Lord, there must be a trick here.
Gao Lan looked at the Qiang and Hu soldiers outside the city and couldn't help but be curious.
It was obvious!
Gao Lan and others also realized that something was wrong with the Qiang and Hu soldiers.
"Yes!"
Zhang Ji frowned and pondered for a long time:"They neither attack the city, nor withdraw, nor challenge, but just stand here like stone men. What is the reason?"
"Could it be......"
Zhang Ji seemed to understand:"Are they waiting for an opportunity?"
Gao Lan was puzzled:"Opportunity? What opportunity?"
Just at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded beside his ear:
"County Honorable! County Honorable!"
""I'm Pang De! I have something to say!"
Pang De?
Wang Hao looked in the direction of the voice.
He saw Li Le trying to stop Pang De, and Pang De seemed to be in a hurry and kept waving at him.
"Let him come over!"
Wang Hao waved his hand and said
"County Master!"
Pang De clasped his fists and bowed.
""What do you have to say?"
Wang Hao asked.
Pang De took a deep breath and said in a sonorous voice:"If I am not mistaken, the camp of Qiang and Hu outside the city must be an empty camp. They have transferred most of their troops to Chencang, and they must be going to encircle Chencang!"
"Encircle Chencang?"
Gao Lan was stunned!
Zhang Ji was stunned!
All the civil and military officials were stunned!
