Chapter 386 Taking the Head Start

Sun Chuanting thought as he walked, and soon saw the city gate in the distance. There were more than a dozen soldiers and policemen there, checking the entrance and exit at the half-open city gate.

Seeing him walking over, one of the leading detectives hurried over to greet him and reported to him: "Chief, there are eleven people today who have no guide or acquaintance to guarantee them. They just said they were from the next county, but they were not allowed to Enter the city."

Sun Chuanting nodded and said, "No one can enter the city without the guarantee of acquaintances, without guidance, whether begging or giving you money. Otherwise, you will know the consequences!"

"Don't worry, Patriarch, I will abide by the rules you set. No one dares to do anything bad!" The man nodded and replied seriously.

Sun Chuanting stopped caring about the city gate and walked along the horse path to the city head.

On top of the city, there were soldiers standing guard every few feet away. These people either leaned against the city wall or moved around. But when they saw Sun Chuanting coming up, they all immediately stood up straight and stared outside without showing any signs of neglect.

When Sun Chuanting saw this, he frowned and shouted loudly: "Thieves from Qin are wreaking havoc in Jin, so don't be careless. You must remember that what you are doing is not for others, but for yourself. For your family in the city behind you, understand!"

After finishing speaking, he raised his legs and walked towards the arrow tower above the city gate.

"I've seen the clan leader!" A member of the household immediately greeted him with fists clasped.

"I've seen Mr. Sun!" One of the catchers also immediately clasped his fists and said without any hesitation.

Sun Chuanting nodded, walked slowly to the window, looked out into the distance outside the city, and asked in a calm tone: "Is there anything unusual?"

Baihu and the catcher followed behind him, and the one with the closer relationship, Baihu, quickly replied: "There is nothing unusual!"

"Yes, there is nothing unusual!" The head catcher followed suit, and then added casually: "It's just that there are more people coming from the west who want to enter the city than usual!"

When Sun Chuanting heard this, he frowned, turned around and looked at him, and confirmed: "Coming from the west? How much more?"

The head catcher naturally needs to be more careful than the hundreds of households in the guard house. After all, it is related to his profession. At this time, when Sun Chuanting seemed to have discovered something, he thought about it carefully, his face became a little serious, and he quickly replied: "I'm sure you are coming from the west. At this time in the past, there were very few outsiders." I looked at these outsiders today. , Just twos and threes, I didn’t care about it at first..."

"Where are those people?" After hearing this, Sun Chuanting immediately interrupted him and asked, "Where are those people?"

"I cursed outside the city gate for a while and then went west." The catcher pointed in the direction and said, "It seems that after half an hour, no outsiders have come."

Sun Chuanting's brows furrowed as he heard this. He looked to the west for a while, then turned around and told the fellow member of the same clan: "Be more vigilant and don't let up in any way!"

"Yes, clan leader!" Even though Baihu didn't care at first, he became a little nervous after being asked and answered by Sun Chuanting and the head catcher, and he replied quickly.

Sun Chuanting followed the principle of sailing a thousand-year ship with caution, and then turned around and ordered one of the guards: "Go back to the clan, gather the young men, and prepare more for the four city gates."

"Yes, sir!" The man agreed, and immediately went down from the arrow tower to deliver the order.

Sun Chuanting himself turned around and walked towards the stairs. At the same time, he said to the two people behind him: "Look out, I'm going to inspect the city defense equipment!"

The two people listened and quickly agreed. The defense of this generation county has always been Sun Chuanting's concern, whether it is the construction of city defense equipment or the training of young men. Therefore, no one had any problem with what he did.

However, before Sun Chuanting could get down from the archery tower, he heard Baihu suddenly scream: "Clan leader, there is a situation, Clan leader, there is a situation..."

Upon hearing this, Sun Chuanting quickly went upstairs, approached the window and looked into the distance, only to see dust flying in the distance. Although he could not see the situation clearly, experienced people could tell at a glance that there must be a large number of cavalry coming. .

He just made a brief judgment and shouted loudly: "Bang the gong, close the city gate, and the soldiers go to the city to be on guard!"

The sound of "dang-dang-dang" police gongs sounded immediately, followed by police gongs in the distance. For a moment, the sound of "dang-dang-dang" resounded throughout the city.

With a "bang" sound, the heavy city gate closed forcefully. On both sides of the street, the shops were closed. Groups of soldiers quickly headed towards the city. A tense atmosphere suddenly filled Dai County.

After a while, the vague figure in the distance was clearly visible. I saw a large group of cavalry swarming in. There was no room for them on the official road, and many of them were stepping on the fields on both sides of the official road. The knights on horseback wear various clothes, some wear armor, some wear leather armor, some wear mandarin duck war robes, some wear black, gray, bright red brocade clothes, etc.

This chaotic appearance made everyone aware of their identities. Immediately, someone on the top of the city shouted: "It's a thief! The thief is coming!"

The large group of cavalry was getting closer, with thousands of horses galloping and making such a huge noise that it seemed that even the earth was shaking. The bandit cavalry rushed straight to the city wall, running in an arc with strange cries, and galloping along the city wall. There are even some who are good at riding and shooting, and they will shoot one or two arrows at the top of the city.

The county seat of Dai County cannot be compared with those big cities. It does not have a moat surrounding the city. The momentum of the bandits' cavalry rushing straight into the city seemed to make the soldiers on top of the city feel that the bandits would rush into the city in the next moment.

In the path where the bandits came, dust was flying, almost covering the sky. It was unknown how many people were behind them. The soldiers on the top of the city turned pale with fright when they saw this scene.

But when Sun Chuanting saw this scene, he just smiled coldly and immediately ordered: "Fire!

There are only three general cannons on Daixian City, and there are only some small tiger squatting cannons. After Sun Chuanting's order was issued, a deafening "boom, boom, boom" was heard continuously, which immediately drowned out the sound of horse hooves and the strange cries of the prisoners outside the city.

The iron egg flew out of the city, landed outside the city, made big pits, and then jumped and rolled forward. As long as it is touched by these iron eggs, it will be broken into pieces and die horribly.

Although there were only three iron eggs in one shelling, and no more than five bandits were killed. But thinking about the sound of the cannon, the arrogance of the thieves outside the city suddenly dropped a lot. The soldiers guarding the city on the top of the city became more courageous.

Sun Chuanting did not order any more artillery fire, and he did not even look at the bandit cavalry not far outside the city. He just looked into the distance, trying to see how many bandit infantry would appear behind the dust. That is the main force of the siege!
