Zhang Guo stood beside Li Changsheng, looking up at the stone thrower launch not far away, one after another iron shells were fired with a dull fire, and fell into the city in a parabola, making a violent explosion sound, accompanied by the skyrocketing firelight, causing a large number of casualties, fear is the most direct collision, and there is the most helpless waiting. 『言*情*首*发【Remember our website:dashubao手机版m.dashubao】

The officials next to the stone-throwing machine were not busy playing on the ground, driving the ploughing oxen to pull the engine and spring, and lazily and boredly firing cannonballs into the city, still talking and laughing.

"It's just a state city, and it takes so much effort, I have a toothache when I look at it." Zhang Guo shook his head for a while, he advocated a strong attack, but was vetoed by Li Changsheng, seeing the battle of the old ox pulling the cart, he was really speechless.

Of course, the improved stone throwing machine can be opened without oxen and horses, and the winch with gear machine can be pulled apart under the rotation of four people.

Li Changsheng glanced at Zhang Guo, and did not pay attention to this guy's dissatisfaction, but turned his head to Gu Liang and said, "Uncle Qi, can you make zuò yellow medicine on the spot?"

"Absolutely not here, without any conditions, people will die." Gu Liang's ears were calloused, Li Changsheng asked many times, he was never willing to joke with human life, in a relatively safe environment, he should also be extremely cautious, how can there be any guarantee in field combat, it is just a joke.

Zhang Guo smiled coldly, he didn't think about using yellow medicine at all, even black medicine was reluctant, not to use it but to disdain to use it, calculate the economic account, a pear flower arrow is equivalent to four times the price of an ordinary arrow, even the landlord's family can not squander it indefinitely, as soon as there is a war, he thinks of black medicine and yellow medicine, and don't fight in the long run.

With eagle-like eyes, he observed the movement on the city wall, and from a military point of view, he should have defeated the main force of Srivijaya and taken the opportunity to surround Zhan Pei, and should decisively capture the city and capture the royal family of Srivijaya.

In this way, the resistance of the Sriwijaya can be completely dismantled, the Sriwijaya can be divided and disintegrated, and the tepid siege can only be left to other places by the time of reaction, and he very much looks down on Li Changsheng's command ability.

Perhaps, the second brother of one of the nine sons of the royal family, is an outstanding scholar and an excellent general of the guard and navy, whether it is dealing with people or handling military affairs, he is stable, but he is by no means an excellent field commander.

Li Changsheng smiled dryly and did not speak again, he considered the problem differently from Zhang Guo. Zhang Guo is from a military point of view, he is more from a political point of view, it is not impossible to quickly take Zhanbei City, but the price paid is heavy.

He needs to save his troops as much as possible, and it is best to let Janavong surrender on his own initiative, and then support the princes who can fight against the Srivijaya royal family, so as not to shake the South China Sea countries by destroying the country, and guide the South China Sea countries to unite when the colonization has not had much effect.

Even if the countries of the South China Sea realize the danger of uniting, it must be the time for the Great Song Dynasty to gain a firm foothold.

He had seen the power of yellow medicine, it was the best deterrent weapon, and he hoped to use it to force the surrender of the entire city of Zhanbei.

It is a pity that there is a disagreement between his strategic guidance and Zhang Guo, which has caused a certain amount of embarrassment, and to put it bluntly, it is a contradiction that may affect the war.

Just as Li Changsheng was imagining it, a team of archers supporting the Divine Arm Bow came to the city two hundred steps under the cover of the big names, which was completely outside the range of the bow and arrow in the city, and the light stone throwing machine in the city did not hurt them much.

With the order of the team general, hundreds of divine arm bows were fired in a volley, forming a peculiar arrow curtain, the arrows fell down on the city, and suddenly there was a scream and fell, and the crossbowmen of the Song army let out bursts of cheers, and they used this war as a place for fun.

The Song army fought against the Jin army and the Xia army, even if it achieved a battlefield advantage, it would not be so easy and happy.

"What a waste." Zhang Guo shook his head, he didn't approve of this approach.

"It's also common for a transshipment ship to bring millions of arrows, so don't be so distressed to change it." Li Changsheng said with a smile.

Zhang Guo sighed and said very unhappily: "Even if there are tens of millions of arrows, they can't be so wasted, good steel must be used on the blade." ”

Although the Song army that entered the battle fed the war with war, grain, grass, medicine, equipment maintenance, etc., were all taken from the local tribes, and even made zuò equipment from local materials, but those exquisite armor weapons still need to be shipped by sea, and the quality of the local zuò is not very good, and no officials are willing to use it, so it is decided to save.

"Instead, I think the second brother is reasonable, submission and extermination are two different things, and the second brother delays and doesn't fight, maybe it really has a miraculous effect." Gu Liang said very seriously.

Zhang had a toothache for a while, you really can talk, he couldn't help but roll his eyes, and simply stopped making a sound.

"I hope that Janawang will repent, so as not to use the sword and soldiers in vain and let the lives be miserable." Li Changsheng let out a long sigh, Shangguan Qian came with Wang Xiu's secret order, how could he not be, he had gone through heavy killings, which made him feel a lot of emotion.

Even though it was a so-called colonial war, it was too much to kill and injure against the peace of heaven, and the cities he passed through were all rivers of blood, and the old, young, women, and children were burned, touching his most sensitive nerves, and Zhang Guo's methods were by no means the result he wanted.

Therefore, he privately persuaded Shangguan Qian to quietly change the guidance of the war, surrender as much as possible if he can, and not kill as much as he can.

Shangguan Qian also did not want to increase the killing, he was a military general who killed people like a horseman, but he was also a principled person, wantonly killing innocent people, he was still reluctant in his heart, and he killed several times on the way, and he also severely criticized Zhang Guo and warned not to kill too much.

Gu Liang seemed to feel that the atmosphere was wrong, Zhang Guo and Li Changsheng had strategic differences, he didn't seem to pay attention to Zhang Guo's face, and smiled awkwardly: "I don't know anything about war, and when this battle is over, I have to explore minerals well, hoping to find gold mines." ”

Li Changsheng glanced at Gu Liang and said with a faint smile: "In the territory of the Bowang Army, it is rich in gold mines."

Gu Liang pursed his lips, of course he knew, when the Bowang army built the city, they explored the landform and found a large number of gold deposits, which was also one of the important reasons why Janawang launched a war.

However, he made a preliminary survey with the army, and knew the difficulty of geological and mineral exploration, not to mention the threat brought by the disease, just the mosquitoes in the mountains and forests made people have a headache, and he couldn't help but say: "The South China Sea is thousands of miles away, deep bays and reefs, tens of millions of islands, mountains and forests, if you are not well prepared, it is really difficult to move an inch." ”

Thinking about it now, it's still a bit chilling, not to mention the experienced craftsmen who follow the army, even those students are all treasures, and the loss of one of them is distressing.

"How can there be something so easy to do, I think it's better to wait until after the war." Li Changsheng also had a headache, but he couldn't help much.

"It's just that you need to send more officials to protect it, there are too many beasts here." Gu Liang pouted.
