The sketch shows not only how to arrange the troops, but also many of the tools that seem to be very familiar to them, but do not know why they are drawn here. Although in order to make it easier for everyone to understand his plan, Zhang Qian drew the picture very carefully, and added a lot of notes at key points.

Only Luo Huaizu was the only one, I saw him, his hand brushing his beard, his eyes slightly closed, and nodding again and again. It was as if he had seen the enemy army in Talas City, wiped out under Zhang Qian's series of killing moves.

"After all, it's the uncle in charge, you can see the mystery of this picture at a glance!" Zhu Maolin, who joined the army in Mingfa, was stunned by Luo Huaizu's chattering appearance, and secretly sighed in his heart. But he didn't dare to casually explore the mystery of the "formation map", so as not to be ridiculed for his shallow knowledge and vegetarian meal.

And Na Sicang joined the army to defend the road, but he was never afraid of losing face. Relying on his acquaintance with Zhang Qian, he asked with a smile: "Town Guard, what is the purpose of your first round of attacks, mentioning the use of horse manure, poisonous artemisia, broken intestine grass and wild hemp to make poisonous smoke?" The results can be verified. Please forgive me for being lonely and unheard......"

"The aim, of course, is to smoke the defenders to death." Without waiting for Zhang Qian to respond, Luo Huaizu preemptively explained, "After the wet horse manure catches fire, the smoke can smoke cattle and sheep, not to mention that the town guard envoy has added a lot of ingredients to it." Although this party has not been recorded in the military book, those who have lived outside the fortress for a long time should know it. ”

"There are indeed shepherds outside the plug who use wet horse dung to make fires to drive away mosquitoes, and the effect is very good." Zhou Jianliang thought about it and testified in a low voice beside him. "And the smell of poisonous artemisia, broken intestine grass and wild hemp, without igniting it, can make people dizzy. If you add it to horse manure, it will surely double the toxicity of the smoke. ”

"I see!" Fu Sheng, Zhu Maolin, Fan Wuhen, Qiu Ruofeng, Huang Jingyu and other civilian staff members had bright eyes and nodded again and again.

However, Wei Dao still felt confused in his heart, shook his head, and continued to ask: "Whether it is killing people with poisonous smoke or driving away mosquitoes, it needs to be a narrow place, and the poisonous smoke is not easy to disperse." Although the city of Talas is only four or five miles in radius, the poisonous smoke drifts to the city, and it has long been blown away by the wind, and it may not be able to poison people to death. What's more, if the defenders see the smoke drifting up the city and immediately scatter to hide, can we still let the poisonous smoke chase him? ”

"Wouldn't it be better if the defenders were scattered and hidden? Let's take the opportunity to take the ladder to take the city! Qiu Ruofeng reacted quickly and immediately gave an answer.

However, as soon as the words fell, he shook his head again and again, "No, there must be something wrong, I am reckless." If the poisonous smoke rises up, there will certainly be no people standing on the city, and our brothers will not be able to smoke the poisonous smoke and set up a ladder to attack the city. ”

"What's the use of putting poison smoke on that?" The other students who came all the way from Chang'an were all frowned. They all turned their eyes to Luo Huaizu, expecting him to solve everyone's doubts.

"In the end, he is a reader, and he thinks about it thoroughly!" Luo Huaizu was seen as weak in his heart, but he continued to stroke his beard, and the old god was pulling around on the ground, "My Mo family is unlearned, and it has always been interlocking. The poisonous smoke was only the first step, and if the defenders did not hide, they would have to be smoked to death. If they were hiding, the Warden would naturally have the next move waiting for them. If you don't believe it, look down. ”

"Oh-" Everyone nodded again, and their eyes continued to look at the "formation map" behind them, but they felt more and more like falling clouds.

"Although the town guard gives the order, we will only look forward to you. As for these things, you explained, and we may not understand them! Zhou Jianliang's heart suddenly moved, and he smiled beside him.

"The town guard doesn't have to explain, even if the order is, we are willing to go to the soup for you!"

"Even if the town guard gives the order, we will do everything we can!"

……

The rest of the brigades who followed Zhou Jianliang from Shuofang also expressed their attitudes, and they didn't want to spend their minds on the formation map that gave everyone a headache. Anyway, on the side of the Shuofang army, every time they fought, everyone only acted according to the commander's orders, and they were never allowed to ask questions.

"Even if the town guard gives the order, we will do everything we can!" Seeing Zhou Jianliang and other generals like this, Zhang Xu, Wei Dao and other civilian officials looked at each other, and suddenly, they also had a sense of urgency, and they all bowed their hands to Zhang Qian.

The reason why everyone has such a consistent attitude is not because they lack curiosity about new things, nor because they retreat from difficulties, but because they were misled by Luo Huaizu and Zhou Jianliang.

In everyone's mind, Zhang Qian is a master of making weapons in ancient times. He said that if there is a way to break the city without blood, he will definitely not deceive everyone. As for the things displayed on the "array map", most of them are secrets that the Mo family does not pass on. Luo Huaizu understood it himself, but he didn't want everyone to figure it out, so it was normal to deliberately pull around.

However, as it turned out, they all overthought it. Zhang Qian was first slightly stunned by their actions, and then shook his head with a smile, "You misunderstood, since Zhang drew this sketch, he didn't plan to hide it from you." What's more, there are no secrets here. Most of the things needed for poisonous smoke are poisonous weeds and wild hemp, which are common in the wilderness and the Western Regions, and I noticed them on my way to Talas, and they should be easy to find nearby. ”

"I also noticed it in Xia, the town guard envoy just said the quantity, and early tomorrow morning, I will take people to pick poisonous weeds and wild hemp!" Luo Huaizu took the lead in blushing, and hurriedly took the initiative to ask for help.

Zhang Qian knew that Uncle Luo wanted to save face, so he immediately smiled and nodded, "Okay, this matter will be handed over to Uncle Luo." It's good to pick two or three thousand catties of each, and you don't have to have too much. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, we will see how the wind is going. If the wind blows from the east or the north, we will attack the city with poisonous smoke from the east or the north. ”

"Order!" Luo Huaizu finally covered up the embarrassment that he didn't know how to pretend to understand, and excitedly stepped forward to receive the order.

Zhang Qian grabbed an arrow from the handsome case and handed it to him, then turned his gaze to the sketch again, and explained with a smile, "What the Gangjing said just now is right, the defenders have long legs, and they will definitely not fight to the death in the city. My purpose is not to smoke them all to death. Rather, it was to smoke away the defenders on the walls, especially on the faces of the horses. Create a chance for the Tang people above who are forced to act as meat shields. ”

"The town guard is really kind!" Everyone finally came to their senses, and then nodded admiringly.

As the saying goes, mercy does not command soldiers. How to change someone else as the coach, even if the Tang people who were driven to the horse's face by Yihu to act as a meat shield, all of them were like fakes. When it was time for the Leaf Breakers to bombard with gunpowder shells, he wouldn't be relentless. Otherwise, it is an injustice to the soldiers participating in the war.

And Zhang Qian, in order to prevent the gunpowder bullet from accidentally injuring the Tang people in the city, actually spent a lot of effort and came up with a strange trick.

If you can smoke the defenders away from the city. The Tang people on the horse's face can naturally take the opportunity to get out. Next, the catapults of the Broken Leaf Army can pour gunpowder shells on the city walls and horse faces without any scruples, and blow up the defensive weapons that the stone army has repositioned in place, such as bed crossbows, nail slaps, cowhide shield carts, etc.

Sure enough, as everyone expected, Zhang Qian's hand pointed to the sketch and continued: "When the poisonous smoke smokes the people on the city head and can't stand on it, our army's catapults will throw gunpowder bombs to clean up the defenses on the city head. This time, the task was entrusted to Captain Zhou's Shuofang battalion. The ground is muddy after the rain, and we will not attack the city tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and the brothers of the Shuofang camp can just take the opportunity to become proficient in the use of catapults and gunpowder bullets. ”

"Yes!" Zhou Qu stepped forward quickly, saluting Zhang Qianqian with a grateful face.

"Yongzhao, thank you!" Zhou Jianliang understood Zhang Qian's good intentions, and also bowed beside him.

In terms of skillful handling of catapults and gunpowder shells, the Shuofang battalion that came from afar was certainly not as good as the teaching regiment of the Broken Leaf Army in any way. However, Zhang Qian gave Zhou Quji the task of using gunpowder bombs to clean up the city, obviously to give Zhou Quji a chance to train his team, so that when he went on an expedition to the Turks in the future, the Shuo Fang army brothers would not be able to give full play to the best performance of the sharp weapon because of their rusty operation.

"You don't have to be polite!" grabbed the second arrow and handed it to Zhou Quji, Zhang Qian immediately smiled and waved his hand.

The rest of the generals looked at the sketch with blank eyes, and their hearts were itching and scratching. On the one hand, I want to know what Zhang Qian's next arrangement is, and what kind of weapon is the weapon used. On the other hand, I wish it was myself who was assigned to carry out the task, so that I could also make myself proud of the foreign land and glorify my ancestors!

Zhang Qian saw that the morale was available, and he didn't make a fool of himself. Grab the drawing, explain it and give orders at the same time. Soon, the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh arrows were sent down like a cloud, and at the same time, the entire combat arrangement and the equipment used were explained.

He spoke in a simple and easy-to-understand manner, and in front of the sketches, the generals and civilians who received the order basically immediately understood what they were about to do on the battlefield and how they needed to do it. Some people who are a little slower to react, even if they still have some doubts in their hearts, they also understand that as long as they follow the arrangement of the town guard, they will definitely not make a mistake.

And Zhang Qian, in order to let everyone complete the task smoothly, deliberately emphasized it. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, only a small number of brothers will be sent to terrorize the enemy army. All the generals who have just received the task do not have to go to battle. Just take the brothers assigned to them and rehearse the task in advance, so as not to be on the spot.

All the generals and civilian staff members suddenly increased their confidence and thanked them again. Zhang Qian smiled and waved his hand at everyone, grabbed the last arrow, and solemnly handed it to Zhou Jianliang, "Captain Zhou, two days later, as soon as the siege horn sounds, you immediately lead two regiments of cavalry to the west of Talas." Then, five miles away, block all roads to Whitewater City and Bathanna. All the nobles and cannibals of the Stone Kingdom who escaped from Talas were killed on the spot after being caught. Except for Yihu himself, not a single one remains! ”

The invisible murderous aura suddenly came out of his body. Rao is Zhou Jianliang has experienced a hundred battles, and he was also taken aback. However, the latter didn't ask anything, just took the arrow, bowed and saluted, "The last general obeys!" ”
