The flag painted with the dragon has been hanging on the chariot outside the shogunate of the Jiangdong Division, probably the temporary flag is not strong, the north wind blows and blows and scratches the flagpole, fortunately, the flag man is quick to move, grabs the flag that is about to fall to the ground, and the flag is helped back, and then grabs the flag and no longer dares to move.

The flag is the sign of the king, and it is not a good sign to be hung up by the wind, as if it has come true, Huang Yong, the master of Wu Di, who is worthy of the Fu Festival in the military curtain, shouted: "This is a fake festival, left and right, take Li Yuan down!" ”

Huang Yong is the second son of Huang Xie, he is also the fief Sima, according to the tradition of the Chu State, during the war, the Sima of the counties and fiefdoms was automatically transferred to the positions of military leader, general, general and so on. Huang Yong, who has more than 32,000 people under his command, is now raising his eyebrows, and there is some blame in his anger - his father was killed, of course he praised Xiong Han as the king, but Li Yuan was too unreliable.

"Fake Festival?!" Li Yuan's face, which was originally flushed with excitement, turned black in a second, and finally turned white, his hand was stretched out, and the gambler looked at it and stretched his neck like a dice and argued: "This section is ...... It is taken from the right bed, how can it be a false feast? ”

"If it doesn't get along, it's naturally a fake festival." Before the other general, Yang Xu, could speak in a sneer, Huang Yong's Sima Zhouwen opened his mouth first. He and Huang Yong are actually the same mind, but they can't get along with the Dragon Festival.

"It must be, it must be that this talisman has not been used for a long time......" Li Yuan still wanted to argue, but when he saw Zhou Wen show the talisman that could not be matched, he suddenly lost his voice, and the coolness rose straight up from the soles of his feet.

Li Yuan's troop transfer talisman was given by the Marquis of Qin, and the colorful patina on the surface made some golden inscriptions loom on it, making it difficult to read the full text. At that time, he thought that it was stolen by Qin Hou from Zhengyu, but he didn't expect that this talisman was actually forged.

"It is a capital offense to transfer troops with false festivals." Zhou Wen continued to say things that made the soles of Li Yuan's feet cold, but he looked left and right, especially at the other general, Yang Xu, "However, the situation is critical, the thief Jinghua killed the eldest son Ling Yin, and Ziyuan gave me a fake festival for the sake of quelling the rebellion without investigation, and he can be temporarily exempted from the death penalty, and after this incident, Zuo Yin will sentence him to death." ”

The troop transfer talisman that Li Yuan brought was fake, but the prince he brought was real. Zhou Wen is also Huang Xie's protégé, so he is naturally willing to make Xiong Gang the king of Chu, and this arrangement can be regarded as giving Li Yuan a step down.

"What Sima said is reasonable, what does Zixu think?" Huang Yong pushed the boat according to Zhou Wen's words, and his eyes also looked at Yang Xu.

"General Ziyong, we are on the order of the Great Sima to help Chengyang, if you stay in Yingdu for too long......" Yang Lu did not answer, it was his Sima Zigu who answered, this person is a Yue person, but not a royal family, and the decoration is also a Chu person.

"Yingdu is the rear of our army, Yingdu is lost, the army will be chaotic, we can send people to Xixian County to ask for their lives, if the general has an order, when leaving Yingdu." Jun Sima and Jun Sima always talk to the point, and the meaning is all in the words.

"If the rune is false, can its words be true?" Zigu continued to ask questions, and as soon as he looked at Li Yuan, he felt that this person was not credible.

"The crime of plotting against the Zhu clan. If the East Palace is still there, the general can send someone to protect it and make him king, and we will not stop it; If the East Palace has been killed by Jinghua, he should be the king of Ligang Prince. Zhou Wen argued. You and I agreed, after punishing Jinghua, the master of the meeting can enter the palace first. ”

"Really?" Zigu hurriedly asked, he and the main general Yang Lu were actually in the same mind: they were worried that they would be used by the Huang family.

"But... Drumming gathers to swear to each other. Zhou Wen looked at Huang Yong again as he spoke, and saw him nod before finishing the whole sentence.

According to the military practice of this era, the march was mostly in the early morning and early morning, and the camp generally stopped after noon. In this way, the army could only travel thirty miles a day. These 30 miles are converted into kilometers in Chu rulers, which is 12.15 kilometers, and the longest Qin ruler among the countries is only 12.47 kilometers. As for the selection of Wei Wushu's requirements, 'the middle of the day and the hundred miles' - in the Spring and Autumn Period, many countries still used a ruler of 0.197 meters, such as the "Examination of the Work Record" compiled by Qi Guo, which used the Zhou ruler, and later the ruler system of Qin and Chu and other countries gradually became larger, and the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao and Wei followed to change the ruler system - in fact, it was only 35.46 kilometers.

Wei Wushu is Wei Wushu, and the marching speed of the selected trainees is naturally completely different from the marching speed of ordinary armies. The so-called 'a hundred miles and the one who is interested in the profit will be the general, and fifty miles and the one who is interested in the army is half to the end', which is what it says.

At noon, the Jiangdong division, which had traveled 30 miles, camped 25 miles north of Yingdu. Together, the north wind blew over, and the drums sounded at the head of the Yingdu City. Rao is palace has sent a messenger to inform the people of the current situation in the market: Ling Yin rebelled for the sake of the powerful prince, and is now leading his private soldiers to attack the city, and the people are also in chaos when they hear the sound of drums in the city. The Qin people attacked Chengyang, and all the men in the family went west to resist Qin, and now the Yue people are attacking the city, can this empty city still be defended?

"Why the drums?" Xiong Jing also heard the sound of the drums.

The materials brought out by the big treasury and the mansion are being transported into the royal city, and at this time, Xiong Jing, who is standing on the palace wall, is watching dozens of craftsmen use rolling wood to transport trebuchet counterweights - this thing was made for the recovery of Chengyang after the fall of Chengyang, but I didn't expect Huang Xie to rebel, and what was originally used to siege the city was used to defend the city. The weight of the distribution is about ten tons, and it is very difficult for the oxen to pull people, but fortunately, this thing is cast of pig iron, and the volume is very small, and the palace gate is more than three meters wide and more than four meters high.

"Why the drums?" Xiong Jing asked left and right, left and right can only ask outside the palace, and it took a while before news came, saying that the rebels outside the city were beating drums, but fortunately there were no enemy soldiers, probably gathering generals and preparing to attack the city tomorrow.

When he heard about the siege of the city, Xiong Jing began to be silent. He never thought that the war would happen in the place where he lived, it should be on the Chu-Qin border or the Chu-Qi border. The war happened in Yingdu, and it was the people of Chu who died, and he was really at a loss.

"Your Highness, the wind is strong in the city, please go back to the palace." In the eyes of everyone, Xiong Jing was already the king of Chu, so Wang Yin followed Xiong Jing closely since the morning and became one of the many followers behind him.

"Nope." Xiong Jingtou didn't reply, he pointed to the Sheji Sect Temple in front of the Maomen and asked, "How many steps is Maomen from the Sect Temple?" ”

"Your Highness, with the establishment system, Maomen is one mile away from the Sheji Sect Temple, exactly three hundred steps." A man from the Great Sima Mansion replied.

"Three hundred steps ......" Xiong Jing silently calculated the range of the gravity trebuchet, but he couldn't estimate it. He said to himself, "What if it is broken? He had to turn his head to look at Wang Yin: "I'm worried that the rebels will burn my temple, please ask Taibu, can the ancestral tablet be moved to the palace?" ”

"Yui." Wang Yin immediately agreed, and soon a temple man trotted away.

Among the people, only Gong Yin Dao and Gong Zhijian knew why Xiong Jing asked about the distance between Maomen and Zongmiao. The trebuchet threw two or three hundred pounds of iron bullets, if that thing hit the temple, don't think about it, it must be a wall gone, if it hits the pillar in the middle of the temple, maybe the whole palace will collapse.

"Your Highness, where is this trebuchet installed?" Gong Zhijian asked.

"It's loaded—" The trebuchet was brought into the palace and had to be assembled, ten in all. Let's put it in front of the pilgrimage. ”

The thatched door comes in is the inner screen, and behind the inner screen is the palace. After all, it is a country and a dynasty, and the foundation of the dynasty is very high and the area is extremely large, otherwise hundreds of courtiers waiting for the king of Chu to look at the court every morning can't stand at all.

"Your Highness, if the Maomen is broken for the rebels...... in the end, it is a technician, and Gong Yijian did not shy away from making suggestions.

"Then five are here, and five are inside the road gate." Xiong Jing is as good as a stream. In case in addition to the accident Nao cunning can not rush back in time, the Mao Gate can still guard the pheasant gate, the pheasant door can still guard the road gate if the pheasant door is broken, if the road gate is also broken in the end, then I, my mother, and my sister will all be explained here.

"Your Highness, you should also fill the trebuchet with anointing oil, in case our army retreats." Gong Yin Dao also suggested at the right time.

"Good. Arrange it down. "Trebuchets only throw iron bullets, not fireballs.

"The minister greeted His Highness, and General Deng asked, what kind of weapons should our army use to resist the enemy?" Deng Sui was fully responsible for the guards of the royal city, and at this time he was dispatching troops and arranging various things, and Cai Bao, who went to build the mansion, came back soon, and he was with Ou Yezi and Tieguan Kong Su, holding a cavalry knife in his hand. The shape of this knife is Xiongjingding, about one meter long, the blade is bright and slender, and there is a slight arc.

Xiong Jing guessed his mind when he saw him holding a cavalry sword, compared to a short and thick bronze sword and a sword and shield short sword of no more than sixty centimeters, this cavalry knife is really sassy, as long as it is a martial artist, there is no one who does not want one.

"This sword is used by cavalry, and it is not suitable for battle." Xiong Jing spoke before him.

"Not suitable for battle?" Cai Bao couldn't put it down, holding the cavalry knife and slashing a few times, "Your Highness, this knife is made of huge iron, extremely sharp, and the blade is narrow and long, it is a sharp weapon in battle." ”

The cavalry knife relies on cutting rather than chopping, the cavalry has speed, the knife can be dragged on the person, if you give the infantry a battle, I don't know if it's good or not, but it's definitely not suitable, thinking of this, Xiong Jing said: "This knife can be used by the temple people." ”

"Temple people?! Such a treasure knife for the temple people? Not only Cai Bao, but Ou Yezi, Kong Su and others who finished the salute were also surprised.

"The palace armor uses a spear, and the sanitation uses a sword and shield, and this knife is not used at all." After nearly two months of hard training, the new formation finally came in handy.

"Your Highness, the last general thinks that this knife can be handed over to the sanitation. The sword used in sanitation is too short, if you can use this sword...... Cai Bao almost said that he would give another one to the palace armor, but fortunately, he knew how the Yi Spear Formation fought, so he didn't open this opening.

"Nope." Xiong Jing didn't even think about it, "The gap between the sword and shield array is limited, and this knife is too long, so it is inconvenient to use it at all; Besides, its shape is not right, the knife is not for chopping, and the sword is mostly used for stabbing, holding a big shield, how do you let the red-clothed sanitation cut? ”

"Your Highness, how should this thing be used?" As if offering treasures, all the mature and immature weapons were delivered. Cai Bao asked about the wolf stalk that the armor had just brought up, which was the weapon used by Qi Jiguang's mandarin duck array, and he made a hundred of them experimentally.
