For three days, there was silence at the head of Luoyang City, and Sun Rujun did not attack again in the past few days, and Zhao Fan also arranged for the soldiers to train three shots.

Outside the city, Sun Rujun's camp was brightly lit and in full swing, and Zhao Fan looked at the towering wells, his eyes were gloomy.

These big guys, who are taller than the city walls, have pulleys installed underneath, and they can either move and strafe from a high position, or they can directly build a bridge board and rush to the top of the city. Once these wells are completed, the blow to Zhao Fanjun will be fatal, and the originally impregnable city walls will become undefendable.

With the well, the rebels didn't even have to attack the city gate, but chose to break through from other positions on the city wall, with Zhao Fan's current strength, it was simply undefendable.

What's even more hateful is that when Sun Rujun saw that he had blocked the city gate, he didn't shy away from doing a lot of activities under his nose!

"It's just too much of a deception!" The bearded man punched the city wall hard and said depressedly.

"Lord Wang, you must clean up these bastards well!" Scar said coldly.

"Lord Wang, you must be cautious, cautious, the enemy army is ......" Qiao Xinchao glanced at the excited two, and couldn't help but say with some concern.

Zhao Fan glanced at Sun Rujun's camp and said in a deep voice, "Let's go, go back and talk." ”

……

"Lord Wang, we can't wait any longer."

In the study, the bearded man slapped his palm and said with some excitement, "Wait any longer, the rebels outside the city have built siege equipment, and we have no chance of winning." ”

"Yes, Lord Wang, the reason why the rebels attacked the city so quickly last time was mainly because of lack of preparation, but this time it was different, if the rebels were well prepared, I am afraid this battle would not be so easy to fight." Zhao Wei nodded and said with some concern.

"What are you talking about, why do you always destroy your own prestige and grow the morale of others, they will come when they come, Lao Tzu's Modao is not a vegetarian!" Xu Yong glanced at the two of them dissatisfied, and said with some annoyance.

"Who are you, Lao Tzu?" Zhao Fan glared at Xu Yong and said coldly.

"Huh? Lord, I don't mean you, I am my son's son, your most loyal retinue, yes, retinue! Xu Yong knew that he was speechless, and slapped himself in the mouth and said.

"Okay, generals, don't mess around, get down to business." Zhao Fan said in a deep voice.

"Now that the enemy army is strong, our main problem is that there is no one, and the troops are insufficient, if they build the well well, I am afraid we will not be able to defend."

"What the prince said is right, this well is indeed very tricky." Qiao Xinchao frowned, and said suddenly, "This matter is indeed quite troublesome, we have blocked the city gate now, and the cavalry in the city cannot leave the city, so there is no way to raid the rebel camp, but if we can't destroy their wells, it will be difficult for us to defend Luoyang City." ”

"What's so hard about this, I'll take a thousand soldiers, go to their camp by night, and burn these things on fire." Xu Yong looked indifferent, and the old god said.

"Do you think it's a market, you can go if you want, you can go back if you want?" Zhao Fan kicked Xu Yong's ass, and said helplessly, "You have to figure it out, the enemy has 30,000 cavalry, if you don't make a sneak attack, you will be wiped out if you are not careful." ”

"Mr. Qiao, you are a scholar and have a lot of knowledge, you have an idea!" Xu Yong quickly dodged Zhao Fan's kicking leg, and said a little angrily.

"Yes, Lao Qiao, look at your thief's eyebrows, you look like a cultural person, hurry up and make a move." The bearded man also coaxed.

"The prince has already arranged it, don't worry." Qiao Xinchao paused and continued, "It's not that there is no way, but whether it can be implemented depends on whether the generals have the courage or not." ”

"Old Qiao, don't sell it, there is a way to say it quickly, what dare you dare, it's just a big deal, what are you doing grinding and chirping?" The bearded man glared at Qiao Xinchao dissatisfied, and said impatiently.

"Generals, the only way to do this now is to go out of the city and steal the camp, but the rebels are mostly cavalry, if they rush out of the city and are found together, I am afraid that they will be dead and lifeless, even if they are not discovered, it will be difficult to return to the city."

Everyone's faces sank and they couldn't help but nod.

Qiao Xinchao glanced around at everyone and continued, "However, the prince is a genius and has invented the three-stage shooting method, which is our biggest secret weapon. ”

"Three-stage shooting allows the crossbow machine to have the possibility of continuous combat, the only drawback is that the mobility is too poor, and because the Exocet crossbow is limited, it cannot be assembled in large quantities."

"But arrows can! And the improved flying fish crossbow, the requirements for arrows are not high, these days the prince has let people process 50,000 crossbow arrows overnight, plus the original 45,000, there are nearly 100,000 crossbow arrows, enough for the rebels to drink a pot. ”

"But the enemy can't stand still and wait for us to shoot him with crossbow arrows, right?" Scar, who had been silent all along, suddenly interjected and expressed his doubts.

"That's right, I've thought about this question for a long time." Qiao Xinchao glanced at Scar appreciatively, pointed to a point on the map, and said with some pride, "We can solve this problem here!" ”

Everyone looked at it, and the place Qiao Xinchao was pointing to was a valley, just southeast of Luoyang.

"Taking advantage of the heavy snow tonight, we will arrange three thousand crossbowmen, the former giant shield bearers, hanging from the city wall, to ambush here, tomorrow morning, we will arrange for the cavalry chief Xia Gate to rush out, lead the enemy to this place, and then use bows and crossbows to annihilate them! After destroying the enemy's main force, we will fight the rebels again! ”

"This place is indeed suitable for ambushes, the valley is long and narrow, the trees on both sides are thick, and there must be no problem hiding thousands of men and horses." Zhao Wei saw that everyone was still a little suspicious, and hurriedly explained.

As a native of Luoyang City, what he said was still very effective, and as soon as he finished speaking, everyone showed a look of understanding.

"But if the enemy doesn't come to pursue us, but instead takes the opportunity to occupy Luoyang City, what can we do?" The bearded man glanced at Qiao Xinchao and said with some suspicion.

"So what does the general think the enemy wants more than Luoyang City or our Xiangshang's head?" Qiao Xinchao glanced at the bearded man with a smile and laughed softly.

"That's naturally..."The bearded man suddenly realized, and he wanted to slap Qiao Xinchao on the shoulder with some excitement, and then thought of his fragile shoulder, and withdrew the bear paw with some embarrassment.

"But if we fail, we'll never recover!" Qiao Xinchao retracted his smile and said, "Generals, danger and opportunity coexist, there must be risks, do you want to do this, what the prince means, listen to everyone's opinions." ”

"Mom, it! The head fell off the bowl and the big scar! The bearded man patted his chest and was the first to shout.

"The prince's clever plan, his subordinates admire, but listen to the prince's orders!" Xu Yong also immediately followed suit.

"From the moment the prince stayed in Luoyang City, my Zhao Wei's life was the prince's!" Zhao Wei did not hesitate at all, and hurriedly saluted.

Scar's reaction was simpler, just one word, "Kill!" ”

"Then it's decided, Xu Yong, you and Mr. Qiao will take people out to ambush, Scar, you and I will lead people to lure the enemy, Zhao Wei, you and the bearded man will guard Luoyang City, and after we go out, we will block the city gate." Zhao Fan glanced at everyone with satisfaction and instructed with satisfaction.

"Lord Wang, no, you are a golden body, you must not easily get into danger, or will I and Scar lure the enemy?" When the bearded man heard this, he hurriedly said loudly.

"Do you think if I don't go out, the enemy will believe that we really want to escape?" Zhao Fan smiled lightly and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, whether you are dead or alive, it depends on this battle, I wish you all good luck and prosperity!" ”

"Martial arts are prosperous!"
