After the clever military leader Zhang Gui got the guidance of Lin'an Hou, he ran to the instrument room with excitement on his face, and rushed to process parts overnight, preparing to upgrade the three-bow bed crossbow. Although Zhao Liang didn't know whether his methods would work or not, it was better than doing nothing.

Since Shangguan Xueming was making trouble on the other side, he had no choice but to do his best to maintain the original direction of history.

After finishing the weapon, the next step is to think about how to make Xiao Tart-rin obediently run into the range of the bed crossbow.

In fact, this matter is between five and five, that is to say, whether Shangguan Xueming can take into account the key nodes of history and try to protect the king of the Southern Courtyard from being killed, the possibility is only 50%.

Zhao Liang secretly pondered for a long time, feeling clueless for a while, and didn't know how to start at all. Yang Zongbao thought that he was thinking about some battle strategy, and he didn't dare to disturb him, so he had to stay quietly by his side without saying a word.

At this moment, Zheng Luya walked up to the arrow tower and asked curiously, "How is it?" Have you finished reading the bed crossbow? ”

"Oh, I've finished reading," Yang Zongbao saw Xiao Ya, his eyes immediately lit up, and he pointed to the ground and said: "Just now, Brother Zhao showed us his true skills, and with a few casual pointers, he made our best marksman and skillful craftsman in the Ningbian Army throw himself to the ground." ”

When Zheng Luya heard this, she hurriedly leaned over to take a closer look by the light of the torches upstairs, and after a while, she said in surprise: "Huh? These parts are so familiar, I think I've seen them before? Well...... This, isn't this a trigger and a crosshair? ”

When Zhao Liang heard that Xiaoya recognized those things, he immediately said excitedly: "How is it?" Do you remember something? ”

"Remembering what?" Xiaoya raised her head and looked at Zhao Liang blankly: "Did I admit my mistake?" ”

"No, no, no, you are not mistaken, I drew the trigger and the front sight," Zhao Liang stared at Zheng Luya, and said word by word: "However, do you still remember, how did you know this?" Where has it been seen before? ”

Xiao Ya straightened up, first looked at Zhao Liang suspiciously, then lowered her head and pondered, and said for a long time: "I really can't remember." Master Hou, your question is very profound, but no matter how hard I try to remember, I can't understand why I can recognize it at a glance. It's as if these things were born in my mind. ”

Yang Zongbao remembered something and asked, "Miss Mu, do you remember the first time we met, you said that you didn't seem to remember a lot of things, would it be similar to the current situation?" ”

A trace of confusion flashed in Zheng Luya's eyes, and she wondered: "When you say this, it's really like this." However, I felt even more confused, I hadn't paid attention to this question for a long time, including my background, it seemed like a mystery. ”

She suddenly turned her head to look at Zhao Liang: "I don't know why, I always feel that Master Hou seems to have known me once!" ”

Yang Zongbao was stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously looked at Zhao Liang, while Zhao Liang nodded: "Miss Mu is indeed very similar to an old friend of mine, but because you can't remember anything, I didn't dare to recognize him." ”

"How could this happen?" Yang Zongbao said: "What is the origin of Brother Zhao's friend? You might as well tell ...... about it."

He didn't say the next words, but anyone understood the meaning, so Xiao Ya was also very interested, waiting for Zhao Liang to answer.

Zhao Liangxin said: Where did it come from? I'm afraid that speaking out will make you stupid! Even if you want to say it, you have to find a place where no one is and talk to Xiaoya alone.

He smiled slightly: "There is no hurry in this matter, let's talk about it after we get through the difficulties in front of us first." ”

Although Zheng Luya was slightly disappointed, after all, the overall situation was important, and it was inconvenient for her to be too entangled in this, so she bowed her head and said: "Master Hou is reasonable, we are on the battlefield, we don't have time to waste on these little things." I came to the two of you to discuss the implementation of the defensive deployment that Yang Shuai had just made. ”

When Yang Zongbao heard this, he paused

When the time came, he hurriedly asked, "What are the instructions of Father Fang?" ”

Xiao Ya pointed to the outside of the arrow tower: "Tomorrow, our quick aid division will take the lead and be responsible for going out of the city to destroy the enemy's siege equipment!" ”

"I'm Nima, out of town?!" Zhao Liang exclaimed: "General Yang, his old man is not joking, right?" We hid on the city wall and kept being beaten, ran out of the city to play with the Liaoguo Iron Cavalry, and planned to give away the heads for nothing? ”

Yang Zongbao was also a little uncertain in his heart, frowned and said: "Although I understand my father's intentions, but if I do this, it may not have any effect, but it will bury precious combat power in vain." ”

Xiaoya shook her head: "Otherwise, what?" Are you waiting for the Khitans to push down the nest cart and the city cart again? Yang Shuai said that the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, and at this time, only by letting go can they break the enemy's offensive. ”

"Can't you choose to camp at night?" Yang Zongbao said: "We can take advantage of the enemy's slack at night to burn down those nest cars." ”

"Someone has made this suggestion," Zheng Luya sighed helplessly: "But our scout leader just introduced that after their investigation, they found that the Liao army attached great importance to those siege weapons, so they were all stationed in the center of the camp, and the defense was very tight. Although the Liao army failed to break the city today, it has already found the way to win, so it will never take it lightly at this time, plus the commander on the opposite side is Xiao Tzulin, the king of the Southern Courtyard who has experienced a hundred battles, stealing his battalion? Yang Shuai said not to even think about it. ”

Yang Zongbao knew that what she said was reasonable, so he nodded, and then asked: "Then how should I fight when I go out of the city to face the battle tomorrow?" ”

"I was just trying to hear from you two."

Zhao Liang shook his head like a rattle: "Don't ask me, I don't know what to do with this kind of life!" Hey, I said commander, was this errand assigned by General Yang? ”

"I robbed it!" Zheng Luya replied very simply: "At that time, the generals of all battalions of the Yongbian Army asked for battle, hoping to go out of the city tomorrow to face the enemy. ”

"I knew it!" Zhao Liang sighed helplessly: "Alas, it is estimated that you still pat your chest and promise everyone that you will take the lead and personally lead the soldiers and horses to destroy the enemy's siege equipment." ”

Xiao Ya grinned: "Those who know me, Zhao Liangye." Hou Ye is right, I did say so at the time. ”

Hearing this, Yang Zongbao next to him immediately became calm, and hurriedly said: "I don't agree with this matter!" Miss Mu, you are the commander of the Quick Aid Division, you can't be so brutal. The task of destroying the enemy's siege vehicles can be undertaken by the lowly officials, and you and the military advisor will press the Zongbao array on the city. ”

"I see it, I see it!" Zhao Liang hurriedly said: "I've known each other for so long, Yang Gongzi's words are the most popular!" The commander and the military division are responsible for pressing the formation, and the deputy commander is leading the troops to assault, so the arrangement is very reasonable, very reasonable! ”

"Come on, I know you feel sorry for me," Xiao Ya smiled slightly: "But it's my long-cherished wish to go into battle to kill the enemy, so don't stop me." If it's really good for me, hurry up and think of a way to destroy the nest car in the midst of the hosts. ”

Zhao Liang knew that this girl had a stubborn temper, and when she was in the pre-Qin department, she thought about carrying out tasks all day long, because she was assigned to the pre-Qin department of the Leng Yamen, and she often used Director Tu and Wang Xiaosi to spread evil fire. So if you want to stop her at this time, it is absolutely impossible.

However, after all, Zheng Luya's flesh was worn to the Northern Song Dynasty, and his body was his own, so he couldn't have any damage, otherwise he wouldn't be able to explain to Tu Sihai, Wang Xiaosi and Shi Xiaofeng. Thinking of this, Zhao Liang opened his mouth and asked, "Eh, commander, let me confirm again, do we have to run out to die?" Or is it just a matter of destroying the nest car and the city car? ”

Xiao Ya and Yang Zongbao glanced at each other, and said strangely: "If there is a good way to destroy the siege equipment, no one will be hungry and desperate?" The task I asked Yang Shuai was to resolutely not let the nest car and the city car get close to the city wall, as for how to do it, going out of the city to fight to the death is just a choice. ”

Zhao

Bright nodded and said in a deep voice: "Okay, in that case, the speed aid division will act tonight!" ”

Yang Zongbao was puzzled: "Brother Zhao, didn't Commander Mu say just now that my father didn't agree with us to sneak attack the enemy's camp, so it is very likely that we will fall into the ambush set by Xiao Tzu Rin." ”

"Who said Lao Tzu was going to attack the camp?" Zhao Liang muttered dissatisfiedly: "I can't do the special forces death squad, it's no problem to be a sapper." ”

In the middle of the night, a crack was quietly opened at the gate of Shanzhou, and more than 1,000 soldiers of the speedy aid division, under the leadership of Zhao Liang and others, carried hoes and shovels and fished out, secretly scattered on the battle line about 500 steps away from the city wall. According to the pre-planned plan, they divided into large groups and began to dig and dig holes in situ.

Zheng Luya and Yang Zongbao had a clear division of labor, the former leading 500 archers to be responsible for the perimeter guard, while the latter was responsible for directing the progress of the entire project.

Zhao Liang was the most relaxed, he summoned all the heads of the bed crossbow army, including Zhang Gui, a total of more than twenty people, along the construction position of the speed aid division, one by one to measure and mark, and carefully copied on the booklet in their respective hands.

It took a long night of tossing and turning, and it wasn't until it was dark that the secret operation of the speed aid division ended.

Because the location was far away from the Liao military camp, and the movements of the group were deliberately restrained, they were busy and did not alarm the Khitans, let alone attract the attention of the other party.

Zhao Liang saw that it was done, and asked the leaders of the bow and crossbow army again: "How is it, have you remembered it clearly?" ”

"Master Hou, please rest assured!" Zhang Gui smiled: "We have walked twice repeatedly, and we can't make a mistake." Later, when they returned to the arrow tower in the city, the brothers checked the markings on the drawings to make sure that nothing was lost. ”

Hearing him say this, the rest of the military leaders also bowed their heads one after another, saying that their side had also been cleared up, and it was equally safe.

Zhao Liang nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand, and said with a smile: "Okay, whether we drink Yang Shuai's celebration wine today or eat his old man's military stick depends on your skills!" ”

The leaders of the army agreed in unison, their faces full of confidence and excitement. Zhao Liang was startled by their voices, and hurriedly made a "quiet" gesture, like a thief, leading everyone back to Lanzhou City.

After an hour, the sky finally cleared up. With the sound of trombone and war drums in unison, tens of thousands of Liao troops once again drove out of the camp with great vigor, divided into several huge phalanxes, and pressed towards Lanzhou.

Under the guard of a group of Liao generals, Xiao Tzulin, the king of the Khitan Southern Courtyard, sat on a high-headed horse and looked forward to pride. He glanced at the dozen or so nest carts that were pushing ahead, looked at the city in the distance, and said with a smile: "Let's taste the mare's milk wine newly transported from our hometown on the head of the city of Lanzhou today, what do you think?" ”

When the generals heard this, they laughed and agreed, saying that the king had come up with a brilliant idea, and that drinking on it was the most delicious.

Xiao Tart Rin nodded proudly, waved the horsewhip in his hand downward, the middle officer next to him saw this, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to beat the drum, and the 20,000 Liao soldiers at the forefront of the position moved when they heard the sound of drums, holding shields and bows and arrows, while struggling to push up the nest cart, while quickly approaching the city wall.

In the blink of an eye, the feather arrows above and below the city of Lanzhou were galloping, and the offensive and defensive sides entered the initial contact battle. The archers on both sides were riveting with all their strength, shooting wildly at the opposite side, not giving in to each other.

Although the soldiers of the Song army occupied the geographical advantage and condescended to release arrows, but the Liao army was too strong, and they were still able to move forward quickly in the dense rain of arrows, and they could rush out of a distance of dozens of steps in a few breaths, and the momentum was not affected by the rain of arrows at the head of the city.

Seeing that the Khitans were getting closer and closer, and even the archers on the tall nest cart could already see the appearance clearly, Yang Yanzhao, who was watching the enemy at the head of the city, couldn't help but ask in a deep voice: "When will the quick reinforcement division go to battle?" ”

"Well, back to the marshal, the speedy aid division said that they won't go out today."
