Generalissimo Li, who had been watching the battle nervously behind the officers and troops, was also surprised now, and there were a total of about 50,000 people attacking head-on, but before he even reached the base of the city wall, he was shot back by someone's bow and arrow. He was about to send another pair of 20,000 people to replenish the manpower, when a partial general with a long arrow feather of conscience in his arm ran back in embarrassment and said to him in pain: "Marshal, we really can't go up, if we rush like this, even if there are a million people who can't shoot." ”

Generalissimo Li looked at this partial general who had lost his armor and immediately understood a little, but he was still a little unwilling. At this time, a few generals who did not participate in the battle hurriedly said to him: "Marshal, let them withdraw quickly." ”

"Yes, Marshal, get down first, and then we'll figure out a way."

~~

Generalissimo Li finally thought for a long time before nodding, and ordered unwillingly: "Immediately Mingjin withdraws the troops~!" ”

"When~~when~~when~~!" With the sound of a gong, the soldiers charging in front of them suddenly felt a sense of relaxation in their bodies, and they all thought in their hearts: 'God forbid, today we have finally saved our lives, and tomorrow if we are fully sure to pretend to be dead.' ’

At night, the people in the city don't sleep very soundly. The officers and soldiers outside the city have not slept yet, and in the big tent of the Chinese army, it is now brightly lit, and Generalissimo Li frowned and looked at the map hanging in front of him.

After a long time, someone finally spoke: "Dashuai, do you think this is good, let's build some anti-arrow vehicles, and then attack the city, so that the consumption of soldiers will be reduced, and we will also rush to the city." ”

Generalissimo Li pursed his lips and thought about it: "How much did you lose today?" ”

"Today we lost 30,000 men because they used bows and arrows, and 20 percent of them could still move." A bias will rush forward to report today's statistics.

Generalissimo Li nodded and looked at the top of the tent: "Hey! The loss is huge, and if we do this, we will fight it out sooner or later. He lowered his head and said, "You can build some anti-arrow cars, but we don't just go to the city, we must go to the city wall." With that, he sat down and asked, "Where is the quartermaster?" ”

"The end will be in ~!" The quartermaster immediately stepped forward.

"Tomorrow, we will cut down more big trees in the surrounding area, and we will not only make arrow blocking cars, but also make some ladders and arrow towers." Speaking of this, he took out a general order and asked, "Quartermaster, you have three days to prepare properly." ”

"The last general obeys the order~!" The quartermaster quickly took the order and stepped aside.

"That's it~! The generals and others who have no defense against the thieves will go and bring me all the carpenters and blacksmiths around me, and then take some more labor. We are ready to besiege the army of thieves. "Generalissimo Lee made the decision to fight a protracted war.

"Dashuai, which is the order of the prime minister?" A well-informed partiacist will suddenly ask this most poignant question.

Generalissimo Li thought for a while and said, "You don't have to care, I will negotiate with you, and I will definitely not embarrass everyone." ”

On the second day, the officers and soldiers did not attack rashly according to their conjectures, and they all huddled in the camp and did something to themselves. Li Ren came to the torture room to visit Liao Kai, and by the way, he asked about the purpose of questioning the officers and soldiers.

After seeing Liao Kai, Li Ren asked his subordinates to bring the tea, and then asked, "Did Mr. Liao sleep peacefully yesterday?" ”

Liao Kai was originally curious about the things in the City of Hope, and today he saw Liren visiting in person, so he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "I don't know if Master Hou has arrived, and Liao Mou can't meet him from afar!" ”

"Haha! Mr. Liao is a guest in our place, where did he come from. It was Yang who should have pulled out early to pick up Mr. Liao for drinking. Alas! It's all your marshal's fault for attacking yesterday, causing them to lose their troops and not enter our city walls. Li Ren said to fight here, turned to look at Dasha, the leader of the guards, and said, "Dasha, go and let someone prepare a few dishes of wine and food, and I will have a few drinks with Mr. Liao." ”

Liao Kai saw that Li Ren didn't treat him as your brother's prisoner now, and he immediately felt a lot of good feelings in his heart, and stood beside Li Ren respectfully. At this time, Liren sat down at the table, and then hurriedly said to Liao Kai: "Mr. Liao, sit down, although it is a little shabby here, Mr. Liao should still regard it as his own home for the time being." ”

Liao Kai looked at the torture instruments around him, sat aside a little crying and laughed and asked, "I don't know why Master Hou is here today?" ”

"Huh! I can't come and see Mr. Liao if there's nothing to do? Li Ren picked up the tea bowl and asked Liao Kai to drink tea.

Liao Kai was a little flattered and took the tea bowl handed to him by Liren and hurriedly said, "Hehe! Hou Ye can come to see Liao, how can he say that Hou Ye should not come at this time. Speaking of this, he saw that Liren didn't say anything again, and immediately remembered what Liren said when he came, and hurriedly asked: "When Master Hou came, he said that it was my marshal, and the soldiers he brought did not come close to the city wall?" ”

Li Ren nodded affirmatively, and Liao Kai was suddenly surprised and hurriedly asked: "Forgive Liao for being disrespectful, may I ask if there are 60,000 people in Hou Ye's city?" ”

Li Ren put down the tea bowl and said, "What's so disrespectful about this, compared to what you have already investigated before you came, no one can hide these little things." The army in my city is sixty thousand men, and one is no more and one is not less. Rihito said with a little pride in his heart.

"May I ask if the marshal of my family attacked in an all-out way yesterday?" Liao Kai still didn't believe it, because he must not have seen it with his own eyes.

Li Ren thought for a while and said, "Yesterday, it seemed that the official army should have attacked on all fronts, and even the rear team was going to be dispatched. ”

"Who! Forgive Liao to ask again, was it yesterday that my marshal besieged the city on three sides, and attacked on three sides? Liao Kai was suddenly making a battlefield in his heart, measuring the routines of both sides.

"That's right! Your marshal is attacking from three sides, and the main side is from the east. Liren calmly looked at Liao Kai in his thoughts with some doubts.

After Liao Kai heard this, he thought for a long time, and waited for Liren's tea to be replaced with a second course, and then said: "Master Hou, is your city of hope this city wall your latest thing?" ”

"Oh! You say this, hehe, it's just one of them. Li Ren replied to Liao Kai without concealment.

Liao Kai suddenly gasped and looked at Liren like a monster. At this time, a guard next to him said: "Hehe, Mr. Liao, these are just a small part of my family's marquis, you haven't seen much." ”

Li Ren smiled at Liao Kai's current expression, and then he said, "I only used bows and crossbows yesterday, and I haven't used anything else. ”

"Bows and crossbows?" Liao Kai knew the range of the bow and arrow and the power of the crossbow arrow in his heart, so he didn't believe it at all, but the facts were in front of him, so he could only ask: "Can Master Hou show me the bow and crossbow arrows you used." ”

Li Ren turned his head to the guards who had just checked Yan and said, "Go, show the longbow and crossbow to Mr. Liao." ”

At this moment, a person came in from outside the door and stopped him loudly: "Slow~!" Immediately everyone in the room looked at him, and this man hurriedly walked up to Liren and said, "Master Hou, how can we show these things to the enemy's advisers, and if something goes wrong, what should we do?" ”

"Huh! It's Mr. Fang, come and tell you, Mr. Lailai, this is Mr. Liao Kailiao, the first strategist next to Generalissimo Li Zhixiao. Li Ren didn't answer Fang Ning directly at all, but instead introduced Liao Kai to him.

Fang Ning was speechless for a moment, and only gave Liao Kai a salute first: "Fang Ning has seen Mr. Liao in the capital." ”

"Mr. Fang is good, contemptible Liao Kai, an officer and military strategist." Liao Kai also introduced himself simply and directly.

At this time, Liren said to the guards who were blocked just now: "Go, quickly bring those two things for me and let Mr. Liao take a look." ”

Fang Ning heard that Li Ren was asking someone to take something again, and just wanted to stop it. Liren was a color to stop him from talking, and he was so anxious that he couldn't sit still.

After a while, the guards took the crossbow and the longbow, Liao Kai hurriedly took it, and took a closer look at the longbow first, and after looking at it for a long time, only the crossbow seemed to be clever, and it seemed that it could shoot a very powerful crossbow arrow. And the longbow is obviously made of a long tree stick that is slowly bent, and if such a thing can shoot arrow feathers, he doesn't believe that it will kill this Mr. Liao.

Holding the longbow, Liao Kai asked Liren with questions: "Master Hou, is it the bow and arrow that your army used yesterday?" ”

"Hmmm! It is~! Rihito didn't hesitate at all.

Liao Kai immediately said: "Master Hou, if I am not mistaken, this longbow is only more than twice as long as the ordinary horn bow, and the whole body is wooden. This kind of thing can also shoot bows and arrows? ”

Li Ren smiled and said to the guard: "Go and shoot Mr. Liao, or Mr. Liao really thinks we are lying to him." ”

The guard took the longbow in Liao Kai's hand with a look of disdain, and pulled out an arrow feather from the quiver next to him. A neat bow and arrow that walked to the house, "Whoosh~!" Flutter~! A sound of breaking the air suddenly came to mind in the room, and this sound was even sharper than the sound of horn bows and arrows that Mr. Liao had seen in the army.

Coming to the direction where the arrow feathers were shooting, Mr. Liao saw a scene that he will never forget. The arrow feather shot by the guard was deeply inserted into the wall that he had seen with his own eyes yesterday, and the arrow feather was still trembling, indicating that he had just landed on the wall.

Suddenly, Mr. Liao neatly took the longbow and looked carefully left and right, and finally he said: "Master Hou, this longbow is really made of trees?" ”

"Didn't Mr. Liao just see it and do an appraisal? What, now suspect that my subordinate tanuki will be replaced by the prince? ”； Rihito suddenly fixed his smile and asked.

Seeing that Hou Ye was a little unhappy, Liao Kai immediately waved his hand and said, "No! No, Master Hou is just that Liao really can't accept it, no matter how Liao Kai doesn't think about that. ”

"Huh! , Mr. Liao, I was just joking with you just now, don't take it seriously. For I will not deceive anyone with my own bow and arrows, or my walls would have been breached yesterday. Rihito immediately smiled with a smile on his face.

Liao Kai is even more curious about this Hou Ye now, and he really wants to follow this Hou Ye to see those artifacts that he has never seen before. But in a blink of an eye, he could only sigh and say to himself: "How good it would be if I hadn't met Li Dashuai~!" Alas~! ”

Li Ren heard Liao Kai's soft sigh and immediately asked, "Oh! Why is Mr. Liao sighing? ”
