Yipin County Magistrate: Start with invincibility

Chapter 372
After the barbarians retreated from Heixi Plain, they stationed in Huilong Valley.

Although they lost the first battle, they were not reconciled.

The defenders of Heixi City were not satisfied with this either. Under Qin Feng's command, the defenders of Heixi City also began to arrange fortifications on the Heixi Plain.

They used to dare not go out of the city, but now that they have the Zhuge Ballista, they are much more courageous.

The ten Zhuge crossbow carts were placed outside the city, surrounded by soldiers guarding them, so there was no need to worry about the barbarian army daring to attack again.

According to Qin Feng's plan, there will be more horse traps, horse rejections, watchtowers, etc. on Heixi Plain in the future.

Although the barbarian army was defeated, all those who lost their fighting power were infantry. As for the real trump card army of the barbarian army, that is, the cavalry, they had not yet appeared.

But the barbarians didn't use cavalry, but Qin Feng couldn't help it.

This kind of action also made the barbarians anxious.

In the past, they could have used infantry to destroy the fortifications, and then used cavalry to wipe out the enemy, but the appearance of the Zhuge Ballista made them dare not have this idea anymore.

Heixi was originally not big, and you could see the other side from this side. The fortifications arranged by Qin Feng simply sealed the entrance back to Dragon Valley, blocking the barbarian army inside.

Moreover, the army of Black Creek City came and went back and forth on the Black Creek Plain every day, which was undoubtedly a provocation to the barbarian army.

Even some wicked soldiers would release the products of reincarnation of five grains at the entrance of Huilong Valley.

This made the entire barbarian clan furious.

But they really held back, not only did not intend to take the initiative to attack, but when the soldiers of Black Creek City were on the move, they would choose to return to their respective camps.

"My lord Qin, it seems that this time, the barbarian army is really scared. They dare not do anything about our blatant action."

When Qin Feng first wanted to build fortifications, Zhang Aolong was very reluctant.

It is undoubtedly a very dangerous behavior to expose soldiers to the plains, especially before the fortifications against the cavalry are built, and to expose them to the attack range of the cavalry.

But Qin Feng patted his chest and assured that the barbarian army would not dare to attack, so Zhang Aolong reluctantly agreed.

Now it seems that Qin Feng's deduction was really correct, which made him admire Qin Feng even more.

From Qin Feng's appearance to now, all the things he has done have already made him a fairy-like existence in the hearts of Zhang Aolong and even everyone in Heixi City.

I'm afraid that what the emperor said may not be as good as what Qin Feng said.

This may be the natural charm of Qin Feng's personality.

Facing Zhang Aolong's praise, Qin Feng shook his head: "No, those barbarian troops are not afraid anymore."

"On the contrary, they must still be thinking about coming to deal with us."

"Impossible. If they want to attack us, they should have done it long ago. Now that the fortifications are about to be completed, they still want to deal with us. Isn't it courting death?"

Zhang Aolong obviously didn't believe Qin Feng's words, even if the barbarians were very rough when fighting, they should have this bit of military common sense.

Qin Feng shook his head helplessly: "General, didn't you find out?"

"The barbarian army sends many people up the mountain to cut trees every day, and in the barbarian barracks, the number of people wearing leather armor is decreasing day by day."

"Ok?"

Hearing this, Zhang Aolong's originally frowning brows twitched a few times: "What do you mean?"

"..."

Qin Feng didn't expect that he had already said it so clearly, Zhang Aolong still didn't understand, and sighed helplessly: "Because they are making leather shields recently."

"With the leather shield, they can withstand the rain of arrows shot by the Zhuge Ballista."

In fact, when the barbarian army was stationed back to Dragon Valley, he guessed that there would be such a step. After his observation, he was even more sure that his guess was correct.

"If nothing else happens, at most tonight or tomorrow, they will launch an attack."

"Tonight?"

Zhang Aolong subconsciously looked up at the sky, it was around 06:30 pm, and the sky was already dark.

There is still half an hour before it gets dark.

He suddenly realized: "Ah Liang!!! Ah Liang!!!"

"General, I'm here."

A Liang heard Zhang Aolong calling him, and ran over quickly.

"Ah Liang, send me an order to let all the soldiers who are still building fortifications outside the city return to the city."

"Yes, General."

……

It was getting late, and darkness enveloped the earth.

On the Heixi Plain, there were many people at night in the past, but it was quiet tonight.

After receiving the order, the soldiers on Heixiyuan all withdrew to the city.

Going back to the entrance of Longgu Valley, there is a little bit of fire dancing, like ghosts in the dark night. There are more and more fire lights, and they are still moving closer to Black Creek City.

This scene clearly fell on the walls of Heixi City, in the eyes of Qin Feng and Zhang Aolong.

"Master Qin, you are really good at predicting things."

Zhang Aolong said with emotion, but compared to before, his tone was much calmer.

After all, he has been shocked by Qin Feng so many times, and his ability to accept has become much stronger now.

The flames gradually came to the front of the fortifications, Gerhada mixed in the crowd, feeling very excited.

He originally thought that he would be blocked by the defenders of Black Creek City tonight, but he didn't expect to touch it so smoothly.

"General, what should we do next?"

"Idiot, of course it's the fire that burns down these fortifications."

Gerhada scolded angrily.

These fortifications on the Black Creek Plain will cause huge troubles for their cavalry. If they want to take Black Brook City, they must solve this problem.

These fortifications are all made of wood. One reason is that there are insufficient resources, only wood, and the other reason is that stronger materials are used, and time is too late.

The light of the fire fell on the wood, and now it was the season of crisp autumn, and the dry wood was quickly ignited by the flames.

These fortifications are all connected together, and once the fire is burned, it will spread quickly.

On the Black Creek Plain, fire dragons began to spread.

"call out!"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!!!"

At the gate of Black Creek City, there was a sound of piercing through the sky, breaking the silence of the night sky.

In an instant, countless arrows flew out, and the soldiers of Black Creek City, who had been prepared for a long time, shook the handles of the Zhuge Ballista.

Gerhada didn't panic at all, and unhurriedly took out a shield from behind.

By the light of the fire, it can be seen that this is a leather shield, and the same thing also appeared in the hands of other barbarian soldiers.

This is a leather shield made by the barbarian army recently, and it is a thicker version.

When the arrows hit the leather shield, most of them were slid away by the tough cowhide on it, and occasionally some pierced into the leather shield, and they shook off with a casual shake of the hand.
