Hearing that Ming Ho came up with a way to come up with a way in one night, Li Buqi couldn't help but prick up his ears, and heard Ming Ho say: "The difficulty of attacking the city lies in ascending the city, so the old man decided to build a few 'Qucheng' outside the city, high and the city, my soldiers can directly ascend the city from Qucheng, so they don't have to suffer from the thieves Lei Shi and the ash bottle." ”

Li Buqi understood as soon as he heard it, this is also a common method used in ancient sieges, that is, to pile up soil. You have a wall, and my mound of earth is as high as your wall, so your wall loses its barrier effect. Although this method is a little slower, there is a good chance that it will work. Now that the surrounding area is the Song army, there are absolutely no reinforcements from the Maitreya Sect, and it is not impossible to take it slowly.

However, the military generals are doing specific work, so they naturally have to pay attention to the problem of engineering quantity, probably to negotiate the price with Ming Ho in time, Wang Xin asked: "Pacification, now the ground is frozen hard, digging is only afraid of being very laborious, and it will take a long time to build Qucheng." ”

Who knew that Ming Ho stroked his beard and smiled conceitedly: "The old man has already thought that it is not easy to break ground in winter, so this time there is no need to take soil, just use grass and trees to pile up and the city is high." In this way, as long as there is enough grass and trees, it can be completed in a few days. ”

After speaking, he smiled and glanced at the generals, and his expression was: The old man has such a clever plan, why don't you praise the old man?

Sure enough, Kochishu took the lead in getting up and said, "Pacify the plan." In this way, it not only saves the sergeant the labor of carrying the dirt, but also can take Beizhou as soon as possible, which is really the best of both worlds.

”

Mai Yunyan and Wang Kai also said: "There is really a way to appease. ”

Li Buqi was stunned for three seconds, and when he saw that no one from the generals objected, he had to stand up: "Pacify, I'm afraid that this method is inappropriate." ”

"Huh? What's wrong? ”

Li Buqi was very helpless. If he doesn't open his mouth at this time, I'm afraid that Myeongho's stupid idea will affect his reputation. "Winter is dry and easy to catch fire. It is impossible for the thieves not to know this truth, and as long as the thieves set fire to this city, it will be wasted. ”

At this time, all the generals looked at Ming Ho, and Ming Ho's face was a little unbearable: "As long as you take strict precautions and don't give thieves a chance to set fire." ”

Li Buqi said: "There will always be a day when Qucheng will be repaired to the head of the city, and then the thieves only need to set fire to the city, but I am afraid that it will be impossible to prevent it." ”

Seeing that Ming Ho was already a little bent on going his own way, Li Buqi took out his idea: "Actually, if there is enough wood, Xiaguan has a way, which is much faster and safer than building Qucheng." ”

Myeongho had to ask, "What is the method?" ”

Li Buqi said: "You can build a building car, make the car higher than the city wall, and use oxen to push people close to the city wall, and condescendingly suppress the thieves in the city." The building cart can carry the suspension bridge, and when it is close to the city wall, the suspension bridge will be lowered, and the city wall will be hooked, and our army can rush up the city wall from the suspension bridge. ”

Myeongho squinted his eyes and thought for a while and said, "If Qucheng is easy to be burned, then the building car is also wooden, and thieves can also set it on fire." And this building car is taller than the city wall, naturally bulky, slow moving, thieves must bombard with stone cannons, what should I do? Moreover, how to cross the trench? ”

Li Buqi said: "Then build more building cars, as long as a few can reach the city, and then cover the cloud ladder to attack the city, it will work." After crossing the trench, they can only fill it with negative soil. ”

Ming Ho thought for a long time and said: "This method is not good, it is safer to use Qucheng, the old man decided to build Qucheng from now on." ”

Li Buqi had no choice but to retreat: "In this case, Xia Guan thought that this building car still had to be built somewhat, so he put it in the south of the city, and let the thieves watch it every day, so that they thought that we were going to attack from the south of the city, and it was good to disperse its troops." ”

Ming Ho said: "A large amount of wood is needed to build Qucheng, how can there be any extra to build a building car?" ”

At this time, Wang Xin suddenly said: "Xia Guan thinks that it is good to build a few building cars, which can lead thieves to come and destroy them, and it may not be impossible to ambush him again." ”

Ming Hao's eyes swept Wang Xin's sharp glance, and Wang Xin was so frightened that he hurriedly lowered his head. But Ming Ho knew very well that he still had to rely on Wang Xin to command the troops, and changing the battle would be a taboo for soldiers, so he still gave Wang Xin a little face. "Well, then according to the king's words."

Li Buqi glanced at Wang Xin, thinking that this person still has some sense of responsibility, and he can win it over in the future. Then he said to Ming Hao: "The lower officials invited the governor to the south of the city, and they also happened to instruct the construction of the building car." Seeing that Myeongho was stupid and upset, Li Bu gave up and could only see what was clear.

Ming Ho nodded immediately: "Okay, then there will be Lao Li Military Supervisor in the south of the city." ”

Out of the big tent, Li Buqi deliberately walked to Wang Xin's side and whispered, "Thank you, manager." ”

Wang Xin's face flushed: "The military supervisor said this, but he killed me." He glanced around and then said, "Don't blame them, the military supervisors are really warriors like me, and they don't dare to talk casually." ”

Li Buqi said: "I am also a martial artist, so I can understand. I only hope that Manager Wang will not let his subordinates be used as cannon fodder. ”

Wang Xin sighed: "Alas, it's difficult! ”

I don't know what kind of difficulty he said, Li Buqi didn't ask again. After returning to the camp, he took the Zhenwu army to the south of the city to camp again and summarize the battle last night. At four o'clock in the morning of the next day, Chen Quan suddenly entered the tent and woke up Li Buqi: "Official, appease and send someone to pass the official to the big tent to discuss matters." ”

Li Buqi hurriedly put on his clothes, put on a cloak of seal skin and walked out of the big tent, and a guard had already led the horse. He got on his horse and went out of the camp with Shan Dong, the commander of the army in the south of the city, and ran to the camp in the south of the city, and when he arrived at the big tent of the Chinese army, he saw that the main generals had arrived.

There were a few feather arrows and a few silk books on Ming Hao's handsome case, and Ming Hao picked up one and gave it to Li Buqi and said: "Someone shot the arrow book here tonight and agreed to sacrifice the city." Li Junjian, do you think this matter is true or false? ”

Li Buqi looked at the silk book, saw that the names of seven people were written on it, and agreed to dedicate the city from the south city wall at the third watch tomorrow night. Li Buqi raised his head and asked, "Immediately ask the scouts if the thieves are as well guarded in the city tonight as they were yesterday?" ”

The star officer immediately ran out to give the order, and after waiting for more than an hour, someone reported that the scouts all said that there were few people in Beizhou City tonight, and it seemed that the guard was lax, and the whole night was calm. After a big war, it is normal for people to be prone to relaxation, and Li Buqi said: "It seems that this matter is still somewhat credible." ”

Then he shut his mouth. Ming Ho is the chief official, and it is his business to make a judgment and make any decision in the end, and he will also shoulder the responsibility. It's nothing to have a good relationship with you, who will carry this pot if the relationship is not good? Anyway, if someone really sacrifices the city, it means that Li's method of persuading him to surrender is effective, and this credit cannot be escaped.

In the end, Ming Ho still chose to believe in the silk book, so he asked Wang Kai to select the strong and strong to form a death squad to prepare to enter the city at night, open the city gate to receive the brigade into the city.

For the sake of secrecy, the matter was not publicized much during the day, and the order was not transmitted to all the soldiers until the evening. At the second watch, Ming Ho led Li Buqi and others out of the camp to observe the movement of the city, and the news from the front kept reporting.

"The enemy army at the head of the city is slack, and there is no movement."

"The first team has already laid an ambush under the city, just waiting for the code."

"Report! Ropes are roped down from the city, and the first team to start climbing the city! ”

"Report! The thieves found out that I had joined the team first, and they had already started fighting! ”

In fact, at this time, you don't need to report to see a fire burning at the head of the city, and you can see fierce fighting in the firelight. Ming Ho hurriedly ordered: "Ordered to go to the city later!" Be sure to open the gates! ”

But the report that followed was cold. "Report! The ropes that came down from the city were broken, and the follow-up teams were not allowed to go up to the city! ”

At this moment, a terrible thought appeared in everyone's hearts: "Is this a trick?" ”
