Chapter 67: Ice and Fire

When Huo Xian, Liu Chu, and Tie Yi came to the City Lord's Mansion, Tie Xinyuan was standing in the courtyard building a house with pieces of ice that had been cut into bricks. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Huo Xian and Liu Chu were both extremely intelligent, but they just glanced at what Tie Xinyuan was doing, and thought about the purpose for which Tie Xinyuan summoned them.

Huo Xian immediately frowned and said, "Frozen as a city, Mu Xin, a barbarian, can actually think of this trick?" ”

Tie Xinyuan dropped the ice brick in his hand and said with a smile: "Not only that, he also used ice cubes mixed with gravel blocks to cast ice bombs, and used trebuchets to violently bombard Loulan City, and he also built countless ice walls outside Loulan City to besiege Loulan City, and gradually advanced with ice roads."

According to this morning's report, Mu Sin's ice city has begun to take shape, and Meng Yuanzhi personally led the cavalry to charge and kill several times, but the effect was not good.

The destroyed ice wall and the ice tunnel will be restored to their original state after a night.

The worst thing is that Mu Xin also froze the corpses of the frozen people in the ice wall, making the ice wall stronger, and the power of gunpowder bullets and light oil is greatly reduced. ”

Liu Qi hurriedly asked, "How does General Meng deal with it?" ”

Tie Xinyuan said with a smile: "Meng Yuanzhi is very smart, he has learned the same, he takes water from the city and waters it on the city wall, and now, Loulan is also an ice city. ”

Huo Xian said: "Bingcheng has effectively reduced the damage of gunpowder and light oil, and even reduced the damage of these two weapons that I am best at Hami to the minimum.

In this way, they can only rely on their real combat power to solve the problem. ”

Tie Xinyuan said with a smile: "The most terrible time is when the bow is not fired, Mu Sin's long arrow has been shot, all we can do is resist."

I wonder if you have any good strategies to break the enemy? ”

Tie Xinyuan invited everyone into the hall.

The hall was naturally very warm, but Wei Chi Zhuozhuo, who was a female official of the City Lord's Mansion, did not come forward to greet the guests today, and those who remained in the room were a few Isaith women who were extremely obedient.

Yu Chiwen had a feeling of sudden realization, and felt that this was very suitable, her sister had become the concubine of the king, so it was naturally not good to show her head.

Tie Xinyuan was also slightly stunned for a moment, and then quickly returned to normal, sitting on the top chair and waiting for his courtiers to come up with ideas.

Liu Chu hugged the tea bowl and warmed his hands and smiled: "If General Meng can maintain the current situation, within two months, Mu Xin will definitely retreat before the river thaws." ”

Huo Xian shook his head and said, "It's too passive." ”

Wei Chiwen spoke for the iron who couldn't speak: "The Great Food Cavalry is brave and fierce, and the name of being fearless of death is spread all over the world.

The Black Warrior is an invincible pawn, and if you are not careful, you will be worried about overturning, and it is not a good strategy to be passively stubborn. ”

Liu Chu frowned and said: "The old man always feels that this Mu Xin is forcing the king to fight with him in the field, forcing the king to go to Loulan to reinforce General Meng. ”

Tie Xinyuan nodded and said, "Field warfare is the strength of the Great Cannibal, if the army attacking Loulan City is a Qarakhanid, I may still be able to fight."

Since it's a big cannibal, I still think it's better to stick to it. “

Tie Yi continued to borrow the mouth of Lieutenant Chi Wen: "The most ferocious of the Great Food Cavalry is not the war horse cavalry, but the camel cavalry.

The whole army is equipped with dromedary camels, this kind of camels are half a horse body higher than war horses, once they engage with the cavalry, they are very fierce and condescending, and dromedary camels run on the desert Gobi without losing war horses, and even surpass.

At the same time, the skin is rough and the flesh is thick, extremely resistant to blows, and it is difficult to deal with. ”

Huo Xian said: "So, the only one who can deal with this guy is Chengchi?" ”

Iron a little head.

Huo Xian continued: "In this case, our cavalry should not go into battle, but we must not let Mu Xin surround Loulan City, we must open a passage, with a passage, the people and soldiers in the city can defend the city with peace of mind, and the army will not be in chaos." ”

Liu Chu said with a smile: "The so-called strong and undefended, soft can not last long, the combination of rigidity and softness is to defend the city, General Meng should have to defend and attack, and when it is time to go out of the city, he must resolutely go out of the city." ”

Huo Xian glanced at Liu Qi and said: "The king has handed over the responsibility of guarding the city to General Meng, so we must have enough trust in him, we don't know about Qingxiang City, we don't know, we don't know, we don't know the actual situation there, just a few words to infer that commanding the front army to fight, it is irresponsible to talk on paper, and the Great Song Dynasty has suffered countless such hardships."

When it comes to knowing soldiers, none of us is as good as General Meng, he stands at the head of Loulan City, knows everything there, knows how to deal with Mu Xin, he can find the most suitable way to defeat Mu Xin, and knows whether to send troops outside the city.

The old man thought that as long as we gave General Meng enough supplies, enough soldiers, and enough weapons, we would do everything we could, and the rest would be up to General Meng.

If he returns victorious, we will celebrate his achievements, and if he loses his teacher and humiliates the country, we will punish him for his crimes.

It is very inappropriate to stand here irresponsibly pointing at the soldiers in front of you. ”

Tie Xinyuan was a little embarrassed, the old guy spoke too ruthlessly, and even spoke very viciously.

The old guy had said something similar long before he became Hami Xiangguo, but that time he was talking about Xiangguo's position.

He wanted to be a real authorized minister, not to act as a scapegoat for an emperor.

If the royal family and the people benefit from this, he should be rewarded, and if the royal family and the people suffer losses because of improper governance, even if he is divided by five horses, he will never shout wrong, because he did it.

He believes that the best emperor or king should be the Bodhisattva statue in the temple, and the people know who their own king is, they all know that their king is noble, high, and they all know to respect the king.

However, the premise of a good emperor is to talk less, do less, don't speak, and naturally there is nothing wrong with not doing things, as long as you follow Xiangguo and the general's ass and supervise their affairs.

His words often reminded Tie Xinyuan of the word puppet, but he had to admit that what he said was very reasonable, very reasonable to the people, but it was just a little unfair to the emperor.

had a good military seminar, and Huo Xian's-stirring stick made the chickens and dogs jump over the wall and broke up unhappily.

Tie Xinyuan decided to write to ask his father-in-law, what should he do when he encounters this kind of thing?

After all, he has been the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty for decades, so he should be very experienced in this area.

Tie Xinyuan actually wanted to go to Loulan to see the ice city cast by Mu Xin, but he didn't have a chance to say this at all.

Huo Xian, Liu Chu, and the officials of the Great Song Dynasty who stayed in Qingxiang City were more slippery than the other, and they didn't give Tie Xinyuan a chance to say this at all.

In the early morning, Tie Xinyuan, who was excited to show off his skills, returned to his room very depressed.

The jujube red horse was obviously very puzzled, and kept snorting beside Yu Chi Zhuozhuo, and the iron fox also jumped around Yu Chi Zhuozhuo's side and was very affectionate.

It didn't matter if the fox came to the room, the huge body of the jujube red horse entered the room, making Tie Xinyuan immediately dissatisfied with the height of his room.

Seeing Yu Chi Zhuozhuo crawling onto the back of the jujube red horse, he hurriedly shouted: "Be careful, that guy has a strong temperament!" ”

Yu Chi Zhuozhuo gave Tie Xinyuan a big roll of his eyes and climbed onto the horse, very strange, the jujube red horse did not react.

Yu Chi Zhuozhuo slipped down from the back of the jujube red horse and said: "No wonder the jujube red horse will let the princess ride, but I won't be allowed to ride, it turns out that as long as it is stained with your taste, the jujube red horse will not refuse."

I thought she was born noble and could make the jujube red horse recognize the master. ”

"You didn't take a shower, did you?"

Yu Chizhuo's face flushed, he took a sip of Tie Xinyuan, and hurriedly went back to take a bath.

Tie Xinyuan put a large plate of fried beans on the table, Tie Xinyuan pinched a small handful, and then sent them to his mouth one by one, the fox rolled it with his tongue, rolled several at once, and the bite rattled, as for the jujube red horse, the skin of the mouth turned up and down, and a large piece of fried beans on a plate was missing.

Mu Xin chose to fight hard in the end, which made Tie Xinyuan let out a long breath, although Bingcheng was very peculiar, it was not to the point of despair.

Tunnels made of ice can be insulated from the incineration of light oil, and castles made of thick ice blocks can reduce the power of gunpowder explosions.

So what? The cavalry siege was a big joke in itself, unless Musin could build a horse road leading to the city.

Meng Yuanzhi was not as optimistic as Tie Xinyuan, the ice chips at the head of Loulan City were splashing, hitting his armor and popping, dense ice bombs flew out from the ice city not far away, each piece was heavily bombarded on the city wall, and the entire city wall had been bombarded with thousands of holes by these ice bombs mixed with stones.

Large chunks of ice covering the city walls fell off, and in less than one night, ice bullets would fall directly on the rammed earth walls.

If Loulan City is a world of ice and snow, then the city made of solid ice is a world of fire.

Orange flames burned on the ice, and the flames would swim around with the melting ice, and from time to time a person covered in flames would run out of the ice wall, roll on the ground like crazy, and then go silent.

"General, all the injured are the people of Qiuzi who built the ice city, there are not too many cannibals, and there are not even a few Qarakhanids."

Zhang Tong came to report with a black and gray face, and the killing effect of gunpowder bullets and light oil was not good.

"Didn't you say Shanshan, there is no one in the land of Yanqi? I don't believe that Musin has so much grain and grass to feed these people who are more than their own army. ”

Meng Yuanzhi hated these people who didn't even want their lives to help Mu Xin build the ice city.

Zhang Tong pointed to the steady stream of people entering the ice city and said, "You see, those people carrying ice cubes are all Qiuzi people.

These people have never been poisoned by the army, thinking that they can sing and dance, and if they can make money, no one will hurt them, and now I am afraid that they are about to die of regret.

Also, how could Musin possibly supply them with food and grass? After the ice city is built, it is time for these people to die.

The last general thinks that Musin is using these men to consume our weapons. ”

Meng Yuan patted the ice at the head of the city and said: "If you don't consume it, you can't do it, these people want to build the ice city higher than our Loulan City." (To be continued.) )
