Chapter 306: Siege
At this point, Wen Wen is not wrong.
Rob saw from afar that Gentle had come to toast him, so he found an excuse to hide. Just because he had listened to Su You's words before, he didn't want to say anything more to the second elder of the Wen family before the siege, so he was dissuaded from staying in the rear before the siege. And Rob is still angry about gently intercepting his miner in Shakoye's capital, even if the two have been friends for many years, they don't want to deal with him at this moment.
With a gentle sigh, he turned to his brother and winked at him.
Wen Lan understood, and excused herself from the side of the throne and walked over to the gentle side. Seeing his brother's worried face, he said curiously, "Is something wrong?" ”
"Brother...... I know that the military council has arranged everything well today, but my younger brother still can't help but want to say, after capturing the north city gate, can my brother just stay in the north of the city and not go any further. ”
Wen Lan knew her brother's ability, and she would never dissuade herself for no reason, and asked in a deep voice, "What did you secretly find?" ”
Wen Wen hesitated for a moment, and finally didn't dare to tell his brother that he sent someone to sneak into Linzhou City, shook his head and said: "It's easy to hide from open guns and difficult to defend against dark arrows, I just think there are a lot of weirdness in this Linzhou City, if my brother rushes into the army, I'm afraid that if I ...... it."
Wen Lan saw that he was out of concern and did not have conclusive evidence, so she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I have more than 20,000 troops to protect my body, how can there be a difference." Besides, it's not the first time that your brother and I have gone to the battlefield, so I'll be careful about everything. You also know that the attack on the West City Gate with Luo Bu's troops may not be as smooth as Qi Lie's, if I don't rush to his aid, if the war is stalemate, won't I be blamed by the lord of the country for being ineffective? ”
"However, my brother doesn't know everything about the situation in the city, so how can he not take precautions first......
"Okay, I know you care about my brother and me, but marching and fighting rely on open swords and guns, which is very different from the secret things you do. If I were to be as careful as you are, I would only make the soldiers hold back and miss the opportunity. Wen Lan shook her hand, obviously having no intention of continuing to listen to her brother.
Seeing that the persuasion was not successful, Wen Wen sighed and said: "Well, since the elder brother thinks that the younger brother is unfounded, the younger brother will not say anything more." But there is only one thing, I hope that the elder brother will promise the younger brother no matter what. ”
"What?"
Wen Wen took out a bag of things from his sleeve, which was the cloth bag that Lin Tongsheng had just handed him.
"Please take this with me, just in case. The younger brother also hopes that the elder brother will not need this thing. ”
Wen Lan was surprised and asked, "What is this?" ”
"There are a lot of people here, so it is not appropriate to show it, as soon as my brother returns to the camp, he will know as soon as he opens it. How to use it, when to use it, presumably the elder brother knows better than the younger brother. With that, he nodded slightly, turned and left.
It was obviously a night of laughter and laughter, but Wen Lan felt that her brother's face was full of gloom.
Is it because my brother is too careful, or is there something about me that I am not careful enough?
Wen Lan flipped the cloth bag, which was so light that it barely weighed. Or not...... Take it with you.

Three days.
Three full days passed. Since the last time the hundreds of troops who had come to shout for war had retreated, the Imurans had not made any moves.
At dawn, Hu Ying stood at the head of the north city gate, looking at the enemy camp in the distance with the lights faintly shaking in the wind and snow, and his doubts became heavier and heavier.
The soldiers sent to the sentry replied that the Imurans had not done anything in the past few days, except for drinking wine and eating meat, and had not even seen their daily drills.
It's so quiet, it's unusual.
The previous "Yellow Water Dragon" broke the enemy, at most, it was a setback to the momentum of the enemy, and it could not hurt the fundamentals, and the Imulans had absolutely no reason to need to rest for such a long time, they must be planning a bigger game!
Hu Ying looked back at Linzhou City behind him, the city was covered in silver and snow. Only she knew how many plots and murderous intentions were hidden under the seemingly white snow.
In the middle of the city in the distance, the Qianshou Pavilion stands proudly, and the lights in the pavilion are bright. Under the pavilion, the Golden Feather battalion surrounded in a circle, and there was not even a gap in the guards.
Two days ago, Emperor Ming finally summoned Hu Ying.
This was the first time that Emperor Ming had been willing to see her since he left Taiye City.
But he hadn't seen it for more than a month, and the aging face of the Ming Emperor surprised Hu Ying.
Despite the majesty, the anxiety on his face speaks for itself.
It seems that Linzhou City is no longer difficult to hold......
But since you know that Linzhou City can't be defended, why don't you defend Taiye City in the first place, which is far better than Linzhou? Why did Emperor Ming come to the distant realm to risk his life?
Hu Ying didn't understand at first, but she soon understood.
The Ming Emperor was also planning his own battle situation, and for this game, the Ming Emperor even did not hesitate to throw himself into it as a chess piece, and his expectations for Hu Ying were also very straightforward.
"Hu Ying, for the sake of the blue sea, you should know that this Linzhou City is the place where you are buried."
Although this sentence goes straight to my heart, it is not sudden.
Since the four generals of Bihai were summoned to Taiye, Hu Ying faintly felt that it would be difficult to return to this trip, and after Deng Ning died at the East City Gate, she was even more convinced.
Emperor Ming didn't mind the life and death of the four generals, she only cared about how much they could hit the Imulans before they died.
Emperor Ming has never shied away from this, not so much that she takes it for granted that she is loyal to the country, but that she herself puts life and death out of the way. Such frankness made Hu Ying feel that he had never voted for the wrong monarch, although the empresses of the Zhu family were suspicious, but there had never been a cowardly person.
Since then, Hu Ying has known the intentions of Emperor Ming, but he has swept away distracting thoughts, and his heart is as clear as a mirror.
She glanced at the horizon, the snow was continuous, and the Jueling Peak in the distance towered into the clouds, leaving only the gray-white half-section of the mountainside standing in the west of Linzhou City.
"Report! There is an enemy movement ahead! Suddenly, an urgent report interrupted Hu Ying's thoughts.
"What's going on?"
"From the camp of the Imurans, many wells and artillery wagons have poured out, and they are marching towards our Linzhou City!"
"Many? How much is many? How can it be so unclear. Hu Ying asked sharply.
"The artillery cars are thirty, and the wells are ...... It's too much, plus the wind and snow weather, the dawn is not clear, and I really can't see clearly......"
The artillery car can still be dealt with by the water dragon team, this well ......
Hu Ying thought for a while and understood the enemy's intentions. Presumably, he wanted to use the archers to go up to the well to deal with the water dragon soldiers at the head of our city and protect the artillery carts.
"Immediately order the water dragon Qianhu to lead the team to the city tower! Wait until you go ahead and explore! ”
As soon as Hu Ying gave the order, the entire Beicheng Tower seemed to be awakened, and all the soldiers were dispelled from sleepiness and began to sit in place nervously, all eyes fixed on the wind and snow fog ahead.
The time for the decisive battle has finally arrived!
In the siege battle, the Imulan army dispatched all its troops, and the entire battalion was not absent except for a few thousand soldiers who were modestly led to garrison it.
Su You wore the obsidian purple gold thousand-chain armor made for him by Rob, wore the crown of thorns with the eagle head flame pattern symbolizing the Lord of Imuran, and carried the golden bow of the unicorn double-stringed treasure on his back. In order to boost morale, he abandoned the royal ride of the lord of the country, and only rode a horse to stand in front of the battle, which was the dark cloud lion that Qi Lie sacrificed. At this time, he suddenly heard an eagle roar in the air, Su You stretched out his right arm, and a vigorous eagle circled down and stood on his arm, his eyes as sharp as a blade.
Seeing that the time had come, Su You slowly pulled out the sword in his hand, pointed forward, and shouted: "Kill the master general, seal the marquis of ten thousand households!" If you don't break Linzhou, you vow not to look back! ”
Seeing that Su You ordered the siege of the city, Rob raised the golden sword, and shouted in response: "Well artillery, up!" ”
Both the wells and the artillery wagons were huge siege weapons, and although they were extremely powerful, they could not be fast.
As soon as Su You gave the siege order, the army was like a lit oil, and the crowd was boiling. Especially the cavalry in Qi Lie's array, they were already itching and couldn't stop their horses, and wanted to rush out to fight for a while.
However, Su You's order was to take the well of the Blade Clan as the headline, and Qi Lie did not dare to disobey the military order, so he only ordered the cavalry not to enter without permission.
The five horses of blood and smoke are not difficult to endure on the side, and Ultay is the most anxious. He and Alihai are in the same iron rope cavalry formation, because Qi Lie ordered Alihai to go out of battle and was rewarded by Su You after his meritorious service during the last siege, but he didn't have a chance to show his face, so he couldn't help but beg to fight again.
"As far as the turtle-crawling chariots of the Blade Clan are pushed to the city gate, our horses are about to fall asleep! Does the Blood Flame King really want us to follow behind that dead fat Rob to pick up the leftovers? Ulethai pointed to the distance with indignation.
Qi Lie frowned and thought for a while, then nodded: "Okay, then let's help Rob." Ultay, untie all the chains from your iron rope riding array. ”
Ultay was stunned for a moment and asked, "Without the iron cable, how can my cavalry charge?" ”
"I'll borrow it for a while, and I'll pay you back when the city is broken. The matter of the charge will be handed over to Wodar first. ”
"What? Let Wodar charge? Ultay opened his mouth full of yellow teeth and shouted: "Wodar's cavalry is as slow as an ox, how can he let him charge?" ”
Qi Lie's face sank, and he reprimanded: "Hugh wants me to say it a second time, go and untie the iron rope quickly, go!" ”
Ultay didn't say anything more, and hurriedly turned his horse's head to give the order.
"Wodar step forward!"
"In!"
"How are you injured now?"
"No problem." Wodar is dull by nature, even for Qi Lie, he is like gold.
"Alright, after the Ulethai has untied the chains, have your cavalry tie one end of the chain to the well or artillery cart, and the other end to your cavalry's hand shield, and drag Rob's big guys to the front as soon as possible!"
"Yes!"
Wen Lan was by Su You's side at this time, and according to his arrangement, he had allocated hundreds of catties to Alihai's cavalry the small gray stones that he had taken out a few days ago and showed to everyone.
He looked at Luo Bu's artillery cart in the distance and said to Su You with a smile: "Qi Lie can be patient this time, and let his cavalry follow Luo Bu's artillery cart." ”
Su Youyao pointed and said, "Not really, Qi Lie still thinks Rob is too slow, so he didn't find a way?" ”
