Chapter 160 The Old Slave Is Too Late (Thanks to QQ Book Friend Yan Nandu 1781 Book Coin Reward)
In the golden hall, the candle flame fluttered in the wind, and the air was lit with the fragrance of wormwood that repellent mosquitoes.
He couldn't help but shudder when he thought that the old doctor had just proposed a medical case for the treatment of malaria and was almost burned to death by these nobles.
The smooth bluestone slabs reflected his shrunken figure, and the countless battles outside the hall, and the shouts from the distant city gate from the foot of the mountain, made him hold his breath even more.
Speaking in a Chu language with a thick accent from the land of Baiyue, he cautiously stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, the old slave is not good at words...... Please allow the old slave to bring the weapons and 1:100 model we made into the temple, and the generals and adults will know at a glance!"
Mi Huang nodded in agreement.
Yue Lao didn't say much, and directly ordered people to work together to carry in a huge sand table and put it on the conference table, ranging from Yingdu to the Phoenix Mountain boundary, all the mountains, rivers, lakes and city villages within a radius of 100 miles, one of the peaks protruding is the Phoenix Mountain where they are located, the mountain is full of small flags of the nine-tailed golden phoenix, and there are many small wolf flags outside the high wall around it.
In addition, a fully armed Huang Yuwei led by Yang Youji "tapped" and stepped in, standing in a row, and someone in the square outside the hall was placing a row of wooden targets in the rain at this time.
All the soldiers were gathered around.
Curious, looking at the huge sand table in the middle.
Touching the grass and trees on the sand table, one person exclaimed, "What kind of picture is this, it's really realistic!"
Pan Chong also stepped forward with interest, watching Yue Lao lead people to quickly place small siege catapults on the side of the wolf flag, nodded silently, and then put several models of catapults on their city, exactly the same number as they have now, and finally took out more than a dozen wooden models of different shapes and placed them in their city, and at the same time looked at the cross crossbow on the arm of the Huang Yuwei standing in the hall.
Curious, Ruo Ziyong picked up a model that looked like a wooden ladder in his hand, folded and unfolded it, and even rolled it around on the conference table, and asked, "What is this?...... Why can a wooden ladder be folded and wheels can be moved?"
Qi Da Yao Jun and they were also curious to pick up a few models and look at them.
Some know, some don't.
In this regard, Mi Huang did not take the initiative to explain, but Ouyang Nai stepped forward to distribute the enemy information they had collected and sorted out these days to everyone, and said, "These are the rebel materials we have collected these days, let's take a look." ”
"Let's talk about it after reading it!"
Everyone took a copy of the copy.
As you look closely, it's shocking.
Ouyang Nai took the information and explained, "As you can see, these are the enemy situations that we have captured and tortured by some enemy soldiers. First of all, let's talk about the situation of the enemy army, Lao Situ ordered the people to gather all the grain in the capital, for this battle, it can be said that they poured all the assets of the family to fight us to the death......"
As Ouyang Nai's voice coldly stated how well prepared the opponent was for this battle, but compared to them, they were preparing to go out of the city to face the battle in a hurry, and the final result could be imagined.
Compared with Ouyang Nai's coldness and disdain, Mi Huang seemed much more easy-going at this time, looking around at the generals, "Since you want to go out of the city, can anyone dare to face Yue Jiao head-on with this princess?"
The audience was silent for a moment, and no one took the initiative to answer, not even the most powerful Ruo Ao clan who had just shouted.
Not to mention that Ruo Ao doesn't know how to fight, even a layman like him understands this report at this time, and Ne Ne said, "Lady, the wolf is ambitious, vicious, and has an army of 100,000 well-equipped, and may be ready to wait for us to go out of the city to meet the battle, and their food and grass are more abundant than ours...... When you go out of the city to meet our army, you have to think twice, and do everything you can before acting!"
"Really?"
Hearing this, Mi Huang was surprised, "Didn't everyone just now advocate that we go out of the city?"
"Yao Jun?"
"Zida?"
Yao Jun said with a bitter face, "But Yuejiao is not only well-equipped, but also has a person like Lao Situ who does everything as a military advisor, and now he sees the traces of dieting in our city, and throws all kinds of infected cattle and sheep into us to tempt the people, causing a plague to break out in the city, and the army and people fall into panic. ”
"But you were the ones who wanted to go out of the city before, and now you are the ones who say you want to think about it!"
If Ao Ziyong hates this kind of fight for a while, and won't fight for a while, he yelled when he heard the words, "If you don't fight or not, haven't you thought about it in advance, and you just argued here for a long time, and now you say that you won't fight, what does it mean?"
"Zi Yong Gongzi, I am out of the city. ”
Zida stood up and said, "But I also know that if we leave the city in a hurry, we will face a bitter battle, and the enemy will be prepared for a long time. ”
He was not ignorant.
Although he advocated leaving the city, he also knew that the way out of the city was not necessarily safer than in the city, and if there was no outbreak, he would be willing to preserve his strength and stay in the city and wait for Gongzi to come back.
But the current situation is that every day they spend in the city, I don't know how many people will be infected with the plague.
The consequences are unimaginable.
"Then you want us to go out of the city to die?"
If Ao Zi Yong airway.
Zida was dumbfounded.
It was indeed his fault for not being thoughtful, but he went out of the city not to meet the enemy, but to survive.
But he couldn't say it.
"Don't worry!"
Ouyang Nai continued to add, "There is also a line on my side, all the strong men in the capital are now ordered to step up day and night to make all kinds of siege defense equipment, dig deep moats, and cover all kinds of traps and defensive forces along the way, and are fully prepared to wait for us to go out of the city to counterattack, and according to reliable information, there are still 30,000 regular troops in the city, Ruo Ao Yuejiao has organized a group of strong men into a new army, led by Liu Yi and his tiger commanders. ”
"In this battle, we have to determine whether we will face it head-on, or tear open the encirclement on the enemy's side and leave. Because if Ao Zike was there, he had already cleared the strong walls around Phoenix Mountain to Yingdu, and if we left in a hurry, if we carried a large amount of grain and grass, not to mention the risk of being robbed, we would also disperse a large number of troops to protect it, and this battle would inevitably be more difficult, and if we faced it head-on, then we would also face a protracted battle. ”
Everyone looked at the map and intelligence with thoughtful expressions, after all, this was a battle of life and death for the whole army.
If defeated.
How could Yue Jiao still keep their lives?
Ruo Ao Tan's face turned extremely pale when he heard the end, his eyes fell on the golden plaque that was brought back and placed in the hall, and he couldn't help but say, "Is this the day that is going to kill my Ruo Ao clan?......
Ouyang Nai didn't answer, looked at Mi Huang with a sad face and said, "So how to fight, please ask Your Highness to show me!"
Zida spoke again, "Don't panic, the clan elder, although it is difficult to go out of the city to face the battle, but only in this way can you bring hope to the soldiers in the city, otherwise if you continue to stay in the city, our army will be defeated even if it is not broken." ”
"What General Qi said is reasonable, so how to make a decision depends on the lady. ”
Pan Chong has been sitting on the lower left of Mi Huang, listening quietly, looking at everyone's thoughts, touching the white beard of his chin with a smile, and speaking leisurely, but not expressing his opinion.
All eyes moved to the woman.
The woman didn't answer directly, but looked at the smile in the Taishi's eyes, and quietly turned her head to ask Cheng Daxin and the others, "They are all finished, what do you have any opinions on Cheng Zuoyin, Xianyin, and others?"
At this time, Mi Huang asked him for his opinion.
Cheng Daxin knew it was time for him to speak.
Before attending the meeting, he received a task from Mi Huang, "Cheng Zuo Yin, now Cheng Zuo is sick, but this lady doesn't want all the hard work that Lord Right Disciple has put in waste for my Da Chu these days, so I need you to replace him next and continue his unfinished business!"
After sorting out his thoughts again, Cheng Daxin slowly got up and said, "Now the situation is grim, Weichen is ashamed, and there is no good plan!" But Daxin thinks that this battle is out of the city, and our army must not go out of the city with the goal of escaping, otherwise our army will definitely lose the support of the people, and it may be difficult to recover Yingdu and Phoenix Mountain, and this battle is different from our previous battle with Zike, we must defeat the rebel leader Yue Jiao, and give the rebels a heavy counterattack in order to revive the momentum of our army, so at present, our army is in urgent need of a victory in addition to going out of the city! Next, our army's confidence in the rebels' counteroffensive will increase, otherwise if it is a stalemate for a long time, it will consume our army's will to resist from all sides, boost the momentum of the rebels, and be unfavorable to our army. ”
Shen Wuxing happily seconded, "Wuxing agrees with Zuo Yin's point of view!"
"If you go out of the city to escape and live, what is the difference between it and dying in the city and using this place as a tomb?"
"The days when we were surrounded and suppressed by Ruo Aozike in the ravine of Jiangling are better than staying in the mountains and waiting for death now?"
"At that time, we were 10,000 people, and we were not afraid of 30,000 people?"
"Now 80,000 people are going to flee for the so-called preservation of strength?" Ruo Ao Ziyong pointed out the selfishness of the rest of the Ruo Ao clan generals.
Chen Huang also nodded on the side, "We must not run away in this battle, otherwise we will be ashamed of the rebels!"
"In short, no matter how His Highness decides, all of my Cheng clan are willing to swear allegiance to the death, and there is no ambition. Cheng Daxin finally said.
"I'm willing to do it too!"
"Okay, the old man also agrees, it's all for the shame of my Ruo Ao clan and the entire Great Chu!"
Ruo Ao Tan chose to compromise under the strength of Ruo Ao Ziyong, and the Ruo Ao clansmen who were supported by Ruo Ao's six tribes agreed, and there was no reason for Qi Da to oppose it, so Yao Jun naturally responded positively.
But in the face of the army with different opinions, factions, and uneven hearts, Mi Huang's eyes lit slightly.
She now has the tiger talisman and the imperial seal given by the king of Chu in her hand, but she can't mobilize the various armies, and the root cause is the military system of the Chu State, which leads to the army, grain, grass and even equipment provided by the various clans in every battle, so that the major clans have a great right to speak during the war.
At this moment, she deeply felt the threat of being deeply threatened by the major clans in the country that supported the army and respected themselves, and if she was allowed to continue, she would definitely be subject to others in every way in the future.
His eyes were slightly cold, and he asked in a deep voice, "One arrow, are you ready?!"
"That's it!"
Before everyone came to their senses, Yoyuki suddenly shouted, waved his hand, and said, "Crossbow archers line up, shoot!"
Then, with a "bang", the twenty-member Phoenix Feather Guard team fired a volley at a wooden target two hundred paces away from the nave, piercing through the plank up to 5 centimeters thick, and the sawdust flew and the arrows fell to the ground.
"What kind of bow and arrow is this?"
"So powerful?!"
Yao Jun's hand that was fiddling with the nest car paused in the air, and Zida's gaze was pulled over in an instant.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Yang Yuji just looked at everyone's surprised expressions, and replied calmly, "This is the crossbow arrow that crushed the 30,000 wolf army in the defense of the eastern suburbs!"
"Crossbow, angry with rage!"
Then he pulled the trigger again at a wooden target of 300 paces farthest, and "Peng" shot and hit the red heart.
Subsequently, before everyone had time to digest the power of the "crossbow arrow", the elder Yue slowly turned the half-human nest cart on the boulder and said, "This is the nest cart, which is lifted by a human noose, and can reach the height of the city wall, which is used to look at the situation in the city during the siege of our army!"
"This small house can actually rise to such a high level as the city wall!" Zida picked up the model on the sand table, unable to believe it, "In addition to observing the enemy's situation, if the time is right, we can also send soldiers to the city wall!"
"That's going to be the same for you, the ladder!"
The older the older the city, the faster the ladder model was erected on the city wall.
"It turns out that this little thing is really a wooden ladder!"
Ruo Ao Zi said nene.
Yue Lao shook his head and said, "No, the ladder is different from the wooden ladder, it can be fixed without manpower, and at the same time, people can hide in the wooden house, which can avoid long-range damage from bows and arrows." ”
"And these are new and improved catapults with more torsional power. ”
As Yue Lao talked little by little about these unheard of siege defense weapons, the huge breathing sound swallowed up the Ruo Ao clan generals who originally had different meanings, and even Shen Wuxing and the others were extremely surprised.
Everyone listened quietly.
The eyes that were as disdainful as seeing an old doctor and Sen Han became scorching.
The nest cart is okay, and the ladder is acceptable, but the legendary crossbow arrows that terrify the rebels are so powerful that they can rival the bombardment of catapults.
"The older you are, the more weapons you have!"
"I have these, why can't I calm the Yuejiao Rebellion!"
At this moment, Yue Lao was not almost blasted out of the hall like the medical elder, and even won the praise of Ou Yezi, the No. 1 sword-casting master in Kyushu present, in the future.
"No, no, no!"
Yue Lao kept waving his hand in a half-toned Chu language and said, "These are what my son-in-law thinks!" So please don't burn my son-in-law, the wisdom of the old slave is not as good as that of the son, in case, there is still a lot to learn from the son-in-law in this life!"
With the honesty of the older you get.
The crowd fell silent.
Even Cheng Daxin was slightly surprised.
He knew that his father handed over many of Cheng's industries, including shipbuilding and kilns, to Cheng Jia in his early years, but he didn't expect him to come up with so many unbelievable things.
And although Zida did not regret saying the selfish words just now, he was also secretly glad that he did not really hurt Cheng Jia's life.
There was only a tall figure sitting on a high place, and the orange light sprinkled on her face, making her look a little proud at this time.
"Are there still people who want to be burned to death as a right-hand disciple today?"
The hall was silent.
