Chapter 8 Marriage
Unlike other tribes, the council of the thorns was built in a large city surrounded by walls, and the palace was built out of the iron and wood of the thorns. Outside the wall, the swallow water circulates and forms a moat several zhang wide.
Rhys and Olia had been stranded at the house of the guard Yan Wu for four days, and the council elders did not receive them, citing Yan Tan's absence. It wasn't until the fifth day, when Su Liang also came, that Yan Xi rode his horse into the city.
Su Yan saw the young man from a distance, with short hair and copper, carrying a long sword, and his face was even clearer. "What a tanuki, what a boy. ”
All three were recruited into the council at the same time. Although the Yanthorn tribe cooled the two of them for a few days, and the alliance also found many reasons, Su Liang and Olya both knew that the other party just couldn't trust Lei Se and wanted some benefits.
The negotiations lasted for two days, and a new messenger came to report that 10,000 of Pingyu's army had stormed the Baal front, and Baal suffered heavy losses. Obviously, Yan Thorn also knew about this news, and even they knew it earlier.
Rees and Su Liang consulted, and finally made a compromise, agreeing to transfer the twenty-mile plain west of the Red Cloud Mountains to the Yan Thorn, and at the same time, if the war is won, after the restoration of the country, after the restoration of the country, a pasture in the north of Kailing called Unwilling Yuan will be ceded to the Yan Thorn tribe, and the three sides are not allowed to attack each other for 300 years.
At the end of the negotiations, Yan Hu, the father of Yan Fox and the member of the Yan Thorn Country, picked up the seal, and thoughtfully did not immediately buckle the credentials.
"Yanhu, what do you mean by this?" Su Yan was a little puzzled, but he didn't dare to show anger.
"It's nothing, I just think that with Thundercloud's current strength, this leather document can't really be binding. I heard that Barr is your eldest son-in-law, and your second daughter is also beautiful, and it just so happens that my son has not yet married a wife, so it is better for us to be sons and daughters..."Yan Hu got up and came to Su Yan's side, took his hand, and looked at Yan Li, who was standing in the back row of the parliamentarian in armor, and said.
Su Liang followed his eyes, looked at Yan Yan again, and thought: Yan Hu is really a blessing, giving birth to such a child, but unfortunately I have no son, and now I have Barr as a son-in-law, if I get this son again, where will I have to worry about Su Yan for the rest of my life. Seeing Yan Li's eyes look at him again, there was some expectation in his eyes, Su Yan immediately stopped hesitating, and said, "In this way, Su has climbed high." ”
Yanhu was overjoyed, and immediately signed and buckled the seal on the national letter with Su Scale. He also sent an army of 5,000 men, led by Yan Tan, to support Baal with Rhys and Oriah.
Baal was now wrapped in blood on his arm, and during the battle, he was hit by an arrow from the opponent, wounding his flesh and skin. In the military tent, he met the civet who came to the rescue, and told him about the strength of the enemy.
Yan Li's words said the key: "It's not that our army is not brave, and it's not that our army is not good at fighting, it's really the Pingyu country that has the exclusive iron source, and the iron armor is difficult to break." Our coalition army only has iron swords and iron guns, and the soldiers mainly use wooden poles and sharp guns, and there is no chance of victory. ”
"As the general of the tanuki sees, how can you break the opponent's ironclad soldiers?" Barr habitually stood straight, slightly taller than the tanuki, but his body was larger.
Yan Lixi obviously had an idea, and when he waited for Barr to ask, he threw the wine bag in his hand into the army of Pingyu on the map, and said, "Use five hundred slaves, carrying oil cans, to rush into the enemy line and burn themselves to attack it." ”
"Fire, indeed, is the same as I think. Barr said approvingly, and then added: "But how close the flesh and blood of a slave is to the other party, even if it is close, and burns the other party with hundreds of iron armor, it cannot be repeated." ”
The tanuki nodded yes, and then asked, "Barr, what can you do?"
Barr took out a leather from his bosom and spread it on the desk, with several patterns outlined on the leather with a Dan pen, wide legs and long rods, and a spoon at the head of the club. "I heard that the swallow thorn is rich in iron and wood, and there are skilled craftsmen, I call this thing catapult, I wonder if the raccoon general can recruit people to make ten in a row?"
What a wise person the swallow civet is, seeing that on the general map, the three of them dragged the pole, and there was a stone in the air, and immediately understood the function of this thing, and was overjoyed, and promised again and again, and hurriedly returned to his headquarters.
"It seems that Lei Se really really cooperated with me, such an important thing, Baal easily handed it over to me, if I use this to attack Red Cloud or Kailing in the future, wouldn't it be twice the result with half the effort. Barr is by no means a political stupid man, so he is not afraid of me at all. The tanuki shook his head, figured out the joints, and sent the drawings back to Ironwood City, urging the felling, and summoning the craftsmen to send them to the front.
With the catapult landed, Barr ordered wine and oil to be collected from the rear, boiled the dead and wounded horses, and sealed all the fuel in a crockpot.
Gray Eagle sent a letter: "The husband is like meeting the words, the little sister is about to get married, I know that her heart is only Jun'er, can you break this marriage and go back to the city to marry Ni?"
After reading the letter, Barr shook his head, Su Anna's love for her sister really reached the point where she could share everything. Of course, with a status like Barr, there is only one woman in the family, which is also rare. Barr wrote back: "It's enough for me to have Anna. Tell Anne that the yancion is the dragon among people, its talent is taller than me, its appearance is more handsome than me, its behavior is more elegant than me, but the son is the only one in the world. ”
Su Annie got married, with regrets, got into the carriage, and the hero in her heart was on the front line, and she didn't even come back to see her. Who says it isn't, he's a man like the wind, a man like fire, and his sister Anna is married to him, but he prays for him at home alone every year. She hadn't really caught him, let alone herself.
Yan Li transported the iron wood to the front line, and hurried back to Yan Thorn City, where a grand wedding was held, and his wife was a little more beautiful than expected, but there was always a little melancholy in her eccentric eyes. The tanuki doesn't know what this melancholy is, but it seems to know what this melancholy is. "I'm so good that I'm sure I'll be able to conquer Anne. ”
The matter of the Lei Yan marriage and the alliance, the bald Chiss did not care, and he used the lack of mobility of the ironclad array as an excuse to recruit Kailing's war horses, arm light cavalry, and suck every drop of Kailing's blood. After repeatedly asking Pingyu to send cavalry into the house to no avail, the Kailing Council had to take out the horses from the nobles to seek peace, and they were now in a difficult situation, regretting that they had led the wolf into the house in the first place, and now they did not know whether to scold Baal, Karn or themselves.
The catapults were processed much faster, and the tanuki rushed to the battlefield immediately after the marriage, and under his supervision, five more of the ten catapults that Barr asked for were made within the required time.
Bal was overjoyed, and organized the ninety of the strongest men who had been selected into a catapult, and armed a convoy of six hundred men with rattan armor, ten ten-man rocket teams formed by Rhy's archers, three cavalry groups were mixed into one heavy cavalry and two light cavalry, two hundred warriors armed with broadswords formed a reaping death squad, and the rest of the thousands of infantry were used for other purposes.
"Unfortunately, there is no night on this planet. Barr recalled the classic battles of the ancients, most of which contained stories of night raids, but he could not follow them, and could only feel sorry for them with others. He gathered all the generals and gathered again in the tent, and in these days he had familiarized himself with the terrain of the battlefield, and finally drew up a battle plan to annihilate the main force of the opposing army before the cavalry of Chis took shape.
(Barr's note: I'm Zero, and today I became a saint, and I cheapened my beautiful and cute sister-in-law to the raccoon guy.) However, this has made real progress in the reunification of the subcontinent, and I congratulate them on their happy marriage. )
