This is also Wang Xuance's clever method of raising war with war. The labor expedition must be difficult for logistical supplies, especially from the mud Bora country and the Tubo country. Therefore, after capturing the city, the first thing is to collect the original military rations in the treasury, and plan in detail for this long-term plan!

And this Kishnag's secret agent, the detailed investigation of the news is exactly this.

When Kulena heard that the grain and grass for the army in the rear of the king Xuance were all supplied from this Brahmana country. It has been felt that the chain of food and grass supply is too long.

So he asked Kashinag to probe more carefully, and after learning the law of his grain transportation, he personally commanded these 3,000 elite soldiers. His purpose was to burn his grain and grass, so that Wang Xuance and the others would retreat without a fight!

As soon as he saw the grain convoy enter the ambush circle, with a greeting from Kulena, in the moonlight, three arrows echoed loudly in the silent night.

Just when the 1,000 grain soldiers were wondering, they saw the 3,000 elite soldiers pouring out of the nest in the dense forest, and they immediately wrapped them in dumplings. Because he was also working for others, he saw such an embarrassing situation, and basically didn't resist much, so he surrendered.

So Kulena ordered the soldiers to collect their weapons and dismiss them;

On the other hand, the soldiers were ordered to pour palm oil on the grain and grass, and with the fall of a spark, accompanied by a "Teng" sound, the fire burst out in an instant. I saw a sea of fire one after another, and the crazy waves of fire accompanied by the wind, swallowing all the grain and grass with teeth and claws.

As a result, Wang Xuance's grain and grass were all destroyed! Looking at the fire, Kulena was satisfied, and under the background of the flames, his face was bright and dark, and the smug color complemented each other perfectly!

Early in the morning of the second day, Wang Xuance was still thinking about how to break the city in the big tent. At this time, a soldier hurriedly came and announced: "In the middle of the night, Kulena attacked the grain convoy and burned the grain and grass!" ”

Hearing this bad news, Wang Xuance felt like a pour of cold water for three or nine days, and he was instantly stunned! And Chen Maocai, who was on the side to participate in military affairs, was also shocked.

"According to the current supply of grain and grass, we can only last for half a month, and if we transport grain from the rear, it will take nearly a month to come and go at the earliest! In this way, we can hold on for more than 20 days at most, and then we can only retreat to the Brahmana country! Chen Maocai said to Wang Xuance after careful calculation!

Wang Xuance, who was sitting next to the military case, held his head, and after calming down a little, he felt that this matter was quite tricky: if he didn't want to retreat, he could only capture the king city of Qubishuang within ten days; Otherwise, they will run out of food and, worse, be unstable.

If he hastily retreats from the army, since he has burned grain and grass, he will definitely know that he is short of food, and he will inevitably wave his troops to cover up and kill him, and his situation will be even more difficult at that time!

It seems that there is only one way to capture the city. So, he said to Chen Maocai: "Let's go, let's go to Li Zhengji, Mr. Li to take a look, see how the siege equipment he built is!" ”

This Li Zhengji, since he arrived in the country of Nibora, has been carefully preparing this siege equipment. Because the large siege equipment is inconvenient to transport, it is usually built with local materials and selected places! In the cities they attacked before, because they were not used for the time being, they did not show their prominence for the time being! In the face of such a magnificent and solid Qu Bi Shuangna King City, Wang Xuance would naturally fight hard, so since he received this Cangyun Pass, let them prepare more!

At this time, Li Zhengji was responsible for coordinating these many craftsmen to make this siege equipment in a hurry and order! When he saw the two of them coming, he hurriedly bowed down and saluted.

"Sir, we don't have to be so polite, let's just come and see, how are our siege equipment prepared?" Wang Xuance asked modestly and forcefully.

"General Qiyu, this crash car will be completed in three or four days. Now the nest car has been made a complete one, the stone throwing machine has been made two complete, and the others are also in accordance with the original progress, as soon as possible. Li Zhengji replied seriously.

Speaking of this nest car, because it looks like a bird's nest in the air, it is named the nest car, which is an indispensable equipment for siege. When you use it, it's like a pair of heavenly eyes hanging in the air, condescending, and constantly monitoring all the movements of this enemy!

I saw that this nest car carefully polished by Li Zhengji, on top of the eight wheels of about one and a half feet, a flat plate was placed, the flat plate was two zhang long and seven feet wide, and in the middle of this flat plate were two Optimus Pillars, about seven or eight zhang high.

At the top of the pillar is a reel axis, and below this reel axis is a small house three feet square with a rope two inches thick. The outside of the small house is all wrapped in cowhide, which looks thick and safe.

There are only small windows half a foot square around this little house! When it is used, the nest car is first fixed in the approximate position, and the small house is dropped, and there are soldiers sitting in it, and then some strong soldiers pull up the small house with ropes, so that you can observe all the movements of the enemy.

Wang Xuance's purpose in asking Li Zhengji to make this nest car was precisely to observe all the movements in the city of King Qu Bishuang, and to guide the precise strike of this stone thrower.

Speaking of the nest car, let's talk about this stone thrower. In short, it is a stone-throwing tool that uses the principle of leverage to launch stones. It is mainly composed of a cannon frame and a cannon rod placed on top of the gun frame.

I saw that this stone thrower polished by Li Zhengji and the craftsman together, the cannon rod was short in front and long in the back, and there were dozens of hemp ropes one inch thick hanging down in the front section of the cannon rod. At the back of the cannon is a large leather bowl connected by a rope. This leather bowl is exactly what you need to fill the stones!

Before the stone is fired, the stone thrower has a rope at the front end to provide enough power for the stone thrower, and in the leather bowl behind the cannon pole, there are several strong soldiers who are responsible for placing siege items such as stones.

At the same time, there is an aim, according to the direction prompted by the nest car, instructing the drag hand to adjust the direction and prepare for launch. After receiving the order to fire from the sightman, the dragging hand pulls the rope sharply, causing the gun shaft to swing. The stones in the leather bowl at the back end of the cannon shaft were thrown out under centrifugal inertia and smashed into the enemy with the momentum of ten thousand troops.

The small collar attached to the back of the cannon will also come out so that the bowl can be pulled down again to fill the stones. On the side of the frame of this stone-throwing machine hangs a cowhide bag that is easy to access, and I saw that in this bag, there are axes, shovels, pickaxes, ropes, wood and other maintenance tools; On the other side, there are cotton blankets, buckets and other utensils, which are the only way to prevent enemy fire attacks!

This is the wisdom and strategy of the Tang people, and it is also the peak of the development of combat power in the era of cold weapons, can Wang Xuance use these tools to defeat the enemy? Please see the next ......

The editor said: China's era of cold weapons is not the era of wisdom that decides everything, but more of the world of advanced siege equipment, with the purpose of cherishing soldiers, and this is also the foundation of the Mo family~
