Chapter 581: Fortified City Walls
caused an uproar, and all the ministers were fried, kneeling down and shouting the queen. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Dead people can be woken up, and Cheng Qianxun can only open his eyes and sit up.
"Queen, it's just you now." The old minister pleaded with more than twenty noble ministers: "You are the king sent by the gods, you must have divine power, please go and fight." ”
The military manager is very confident: "Yes, the queen must have divine powers." Just go out and shout, and the winner will get everything, and defeat these kings and princes one by one, and not only Ekash will be kept, but they will also be able to take all their territories. ”
"Yes!" With a bit of complacency, he said: "If you ask for a one-on-one fight, and the other party responds, then the winner can get everything." ”
Cheng Qianxun looked at him coldly: "Then you go and fight." "Are these guys dreaming? She can't even beat the shortest Rudolph, let alone the strong Regel, Gordon with the special forces base, and Sneijder, who is the best at fighting and ranked in the taekwondo area. If you go out, you will only be slaughtered!
Everyone immediately retracted, not daring to say anything to let her go out and fight alone.
Oh my God, this is the head left for her to be in charge of the military, the general, the soldier? Except for the muscles of a body, it is useless, except for looking a little stylish, in fact, it is the ability of the security captain.
"Queen, what should I do, what should I do?" The ministers were on their knees and weeping, as if the gates had been opened, and the army of 20,000 had entered, ready to die.
Uriel in the heavenly realm is really anxious, let her become a queen at once, just understand some of the situation, and then go to something to fight. It's really efficient! Could it be that as soon as the day dawns, she is about to die?
Hearing the irritability, Cheng Qianxun roared angrily: "Stop arguing! "Silence all the voices.
Under the pitiful gaze of everyone, she held her forehead, so angry that she almost couldn't say anything, and even patted the straw mat and said angrily: "They, they are so eager to beat me... Is it that in a hurry? ”
In the silence, a man muttered timidly: "Maybe they still think that there is no owner in the city... ”
Hearing this, Cheng Qianxun suddenly came up with an idea. She stood up, took a few steps back and forth from side to side, and then stood on the high platform and pointed to the kneeling ministers below: "Who's bold?" I will send someone out to spread the word. ”
The ministers looked left and right, this was to go out to deliver a message, but there was a large army outside.
"Hmph~" She sneered: "A group of wine bags and rice bags." ”
There is a lot of shame on the faces of the ministers, but if they are ashamed, they will be ashamed, if they go out, they will be sent to death, and it is better to be shameless than to have no life. Suddenly, a voice sounded outside the door: "Me! ”
"Who, come in!" She raised an eyebrow.
A guard with a spear walked in from outside the door, and knelt down when he entered: "The guard on duty, Ragassi, is at the queen's disposal." ”
"Good!" Now there is an urgent need to employ people, and only by rewarding them will there be people who are willing to work hard. Cheng Qianxun pointed at him: "Lagassi, right, I now appoint you as the minister of care, go out alone without any weapons, and those kings and princes, neither humble nor arrogant, the new king ascended the throne and is ready to mourn the old monarch for three days, it is currently the period of national mourning, and he cannot fight for the time being." Whatever they ask, you answer truthfully, you know? ”
"A national funeral?" The old minister muttered: "It shouldn't be useless... ”
Cheng Qianxun reprimanded the old minister, with a bit of gloom: "If you think it's useless, then you go out and find a way to persuade them." ”
"Yes, Queen!" Lagassi stood up and strode out.
Cheng Qianxun watched Lagassi walk out, clapped his hands, looked around at the stunned ministers, and pretended to be relaxed: "Bring breakfast, I'm hungry!" This made them more and more surprised, all surrounded by soldiers in the city, she still had an appetite.
The food was laid out on a low table made of mud bricks, next to a mat woven of linen. The food was quite good, with roasted lamb, boiled beef, and some boiled vegetables and cereal porridge. The porridge was placed in a clay bowl, and there was actually a simple spoon made of stone.
Four thousand five hundred years later, in Europe, even the aristocratic city lords had to eat mummy-like jerky with their hands, but at this time, it belonged to the ancient era, and there was actually fresh meat to eat, as well as a spoon ground by stone, which was unbelievable.
Cheng Qianxun ate slowly, even if she didn't know the taste, it was only the first day, and the time behind her was still long, and it wouldn't change anything because she didn't eat.
Ragassi walked in again, knelt down and held his head with his hands outstretched: "Queen, I'm back." ”
"How?" She ate slowly.
Ragassi raised his head and began to describe the situation: "When I went out, I saw three kings and a prince one by one, and said that it was not appropriate to fight during the state funeral. When they heard that it would take three days of national mourning, they agreed. ”
At least three days later, the princes and ministers sitting on the mats on both sides suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and their reassuring looks made Cheng Qianxun even more uncertain.
She turned to Ragassi and asked, "Have you had breakfast?" ”
Ragassi was stunned for a moment, and replied truthfully: "I'm on duty, and I haven't had time to go back to eat yet." ”
Cheng Qianxun thought for a moment and hooked his finger at him: "Come here." ”
Lagassi didn't know what the queen wanted to do, but she was ordered to get up and walk respectfully with a bent waist.
Cheng Qianxun saw that there was no mat where he knelt, so he shouted, "Get him someone to sit on." ”
A maid who was waiting by hurriedly brought a straw mat, and Ragasi moved to the mat with great gratitude, but did not dare to sit like the other ministers, but only knelt.
Cheng Qianxun pushed the plate of beef and mutton in front of him: "Come, eat, I can't finish eating alone, you can eat too." ”
Lagassi froze with the other princes and ministers, and after a long time he muttered, "My subordinates don't dare." ”
"What dare not. If you do something for me, you will do something for God, and this is God's reward for you, eat. Cheng Qianxun is also full, and it is better to leave so much as a reward: "Is it that you can't finish eating, it's simple, take it home if you can't finish eating." ”
Seeing that the queen was so generous, and it seemed that it was rewarded to him, Ragassi grabbed a piece of beef with both hands and stuffed it into his mouth with sincere fear.
I like this, I can do things, and I worship her. Look at the more than 20 ministers, all of them are full of food, and when they hear the enemy asking to open the door to meet the battle under the city, they are so frightened that they have nothing to do but scream. And the one who is in charge of the military should be regarded as a military minister, and he also called with an old brain.
But you can't blame them, about tens of thousands of people can pick out a general, and after all, this is only a small country of 2,000 people, 300 soldiers.
After sighing slightly, she asked, "I would like to know what will do them benefit from taking this place down?" ”
As soon as he heard this, the old minister, who felt snubbed, quickly stood up from the mat: "Queen, please look here." ”
He trembled and walked to the sand table and pointed to it: "Ekashi is just on a high ground, easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as there are enough troops, it can be used as a stronghold and can defend against foreign enemies. ”
It's equivalent to nonsense, what is lacking is soldiers, just 300, how to resist the 20,000 horses outside?
Even if she really has Zhuge Liang's genius, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. Even if less wins more, four to one, there will be at least five thousand people, and she only has three hundred. Besieged on all sides, even if one side sends a hundred people, it will take four hundred people to be enough.
"Can you hold it?" Cheng Qianxun looked at the old minister helplessly.
The old minister coughed awkwardly: "Well, this... "Actually, you don't have to ask, you can imagine it with your eyes closed.
Cheng Qianxun turned around and lay down, with her arms behind her head, and immediately there was a thick cushion brought by the maid for her to cushion.
At this very beginning, I felt tired. She closed her eyes and asked leisurely: "Isn't this country rich, since you know that other countries will come to fight, why don't you prepare more food?" And why did they come to fight together, since they want to use us as a stepping stone to conquer other countries, it is impossible to make an appointment. ”
The old minister immediately said: "This is for the chancellor of the exchequer, what are you doing with so much money left, can you eat it now." ”
The Chancellor of the Exchequer on the side hurriedly explained: "Queen, you don't know, in fact, this was not the case before, although Ekashgar is a small country, it has always been blessed by the god Annu and has rarely been attacked. It was all caused by the former king offending his neighbors, or it should have been disrespectful to the gods, and the gods were guilty. ”
Cheng Qianxun turned sideways, opened his eyes and looked at the Minister of Finance who also had a waist circumference of one and two: "How did he offend?" ”
The Chancellor of the Exchequer lowered his voice: "The former king liked to drink, an important sacrifice, because the city wall had just been built, he was very happy, drank some wine, went to the temple drunk, and offended the gods by speaking disrespectfully. He also said that even the gods of heaven could destroy the wall, and the king of the realm took advantage of this to start a war. ”
"Oh? Walls. Cheng Qianxun came to his senses, stood up, and walked to the sand table to look. This sand table should have been built according to the actual proportions and conditions, and sure enough, on the outskirts of the city, it was surrounded by a high wall.
"Take me to see the walls." She turned and walked out.
Seeing the city wall, Cheng Qianxun was about to curse. That former king really drank too much wine, and even this five-meter-high city wall cannot be destroyed by the gods of heaven... Well, this is 5,000 years ago, and building such a wall is already a big project, and they can't be asked to build it on the scale of the Great Wall.
"How do I get up?" She asked, turning her head. Lagassi, who had gone out to report the news, also followed, but was pushed to the back by the other ministers, and he did not dare to go any further, and honestly followed the last.
The ministers looked at each other, and finally the chancellor of the exchequer said timidly: "What are you doing on the city wall?" ”
She rolled her eyes: "Of course go up and see, what's going on outside." Don't the guards ever go up and look out? ”
"Guards are generally here to watch." A minister removed a movable mud brick and respectfully invited her to come and see it.
God, even the gods of heaven can't destroy it, just a foot thick wall... Well, this is five thousand years ago and can't ask for too much.
She walked over and looked out through the palm-sized hole, and there was a barren dirt outside, with few grasses, a bit like a desert. I saw smoke rising from the distance, people and cattle around the campfire. (To be continued.) )
