Wang Xingxin, who was beaten by Cheng Yanjin for a very powerful reason, lay in pain and depressed in the tent.

Although Cheng Biting Jin's personal soldiers showed mercy, these twenty military sticks also made his skin open, and it is estimated that it will take at least five or six days to get off the ground. In addition, Cheng Chumo was very unhappy and came over to let people remove the only remaining jar and two pots, and then told him that this military stick was not because he tortured and killed the guide officer, but because his father took revenge on Wang Xingxin for breaking all the wine before going on the expedition, and even made his father hungry all the way......

Wang Xingxin, who was sad and indignant, said to Cheng Chumo: "Your father beat me for this? Now that the army has just arrived, I will let you come to the master to get wine and drink, he is the boss! Taking the lead in drinking in the army, is there any heavenly reason, is there a military law, is there a royal law? ”

Cheng Chumo looked at Wang Xingxin very embarrassed and said helplessly: "Brother Xin, let me tell you a story!" The story about my father's drinking, after telling it, you will know whether he has a royal law or not. ”

"Come on, what else can your father do besides messing around and pretending to be crazy and stupid."

"I heard that when Your Majesty was still the King of Qin, I once caught my father drinking in the army, and he was just about to be punished. My dad said he wasn't drinking wine, he was drinking medicine. When the king of Qin asked him how this wine became medicine, and asked him what disease he had? My father said that he was suffering from hunger, and this wine was the medicine to quench his hunger...... In the end, my father drank a jar of wine and led people to attack the enemy army, and returned with a great victory, and since then my father has been drinking in the army, as long as he is not drunk, it is not considered a violation of military rules......"

Looking at Wang Xingxin, who was stunned by his story, Cheng Chu Mo said again: "Your Majesty doesn't cure my father for drinking in the army today, do you think he has a royal law?" ”

Wang Xingxin, who was lying in the military tent after Cheng Chumo left, was hit by this little story, and could only lie on his stomach in pain and depression......

Reasoning with Cheng Biting Jin? You might as well be happy to play the piano to the cow, and even Li Er's pen generally doesn't reason with this old thing. Even Cheng Biting Jin sometimes messes around in the face of Qin Qiong, who has always been respected, let alone his junior.

It seems that in addition to the ultimate goal of living happily in this Datang, he also has to add a way to stay away from the Great Demon King Cheng, if he doesn't stay away, he will be killed by this demon one day.

was thinking about how to stay away from the devil and cherish life, first after hearing a creepy laughter like a night owl, and then saw Cheng Yanjin, who was full of alcohol, striding into the account, and then patted his ass with the big hand like a fan, almost not letting Wang Xingxin jump up from the bed.

Biting Ya, he looked at Cheng Biting Jin with resentful eyes and said: "Uncle Cheng, you also drank this wine, and you also beat the little nephew, this anger should also come out, don't come over, the little nephew has practiced dripping ......"

"If you want to pit the old man, just you kid? It's still tender! Listen to Huai Dao that you want to attack the city with thunderbolts? ”

Seeing that Cheng Biting Jin was asking about the military, Wang Xingxin had no choice but to reply: "The little nephew really wants this thunderbolt to attack the city, in this way, first, it can quickly break the city, second, it can minimize the casualties of my Tang Dynasty soldiers, and the other thing is that it can deter barbarians!" Let the barbarians be frightened, this thunderbolt is like thunder, and it is a divine object in the eyes of the barbarians!"

After hearing this, Cheng Yanjin felt that it made sense, so he said: "It's very good to use this thunderbolt to attack the city!" Just how to throw it on top of the high city? ”

"Didn't Brother Huai Dao tell you that the little nephew is thinking about getting some trebuchets and big slingshots, and making the lead longer, so that it can be thrown on the city wall or on the city gate! If Uncle Cheng thinks it's not enough, get some cans full of alcohol and throw them together, then the alcohol will catch fire when it sees the fire, and we can also learn from Zhuge Zhiliang to burn the barbarians! ”

After hearing this, Cheng Yanjin smiled and said: "I also have this trebuchet in the Tang Dynasty, but it is cumbersome and difficult to move, and the projection speed is very slow, it is generally used to cover the siege, what trebuchet can you muster?" ”

"The trebuchet and slingshot that my nephew is thinking about now are not only light and can move quickly, but also have a fast projection speed, but now there are still some elastic things such as bamboo and beef tendons......"

Cheng Yanjin didn't wait for him to finish speaking before interrupting: "These are all easy to do, even if there is no one in the army, the old man will let people rob you, from the barbarian tribe!" You just have to figure it out as soon as possible! ”

With the cooperation of the craftsmen who accompanied the army, Wang Xingxin finally came up with a new type of trebuchet two days later, although the range was not very far and still needed to be transformed, but it was enough to throw the not very large thunderbolt onto the city wall occupied by the barbarians.

After Nong Jiangyi in the city learned that the Tang army had a lot of reinforcements, he looked at the leaders of the various departments standing below with a dirty face and said: "The Tang people have come to reinforcements again, it is the army of the Tang people's Cheng Yanjin, you can talk about it, how should this be." ”

The leaders of each heart immediately chattered and discussed, some said that they wanted to surrender the city, some said that they wanted to fight to the death with the Tang people, and some sat silently and watched......

Looking at the leaders of the various tribes below who were arguing about whether to fight or surrender, Nong Jiangyi sighed and shouted: "Shut up for this king!" Are you timid before the war begins? It's a loss of the glory of my black barbarians! Whether it is a battle or a surrender, the Tang people only have less than 20,000 soldiers and horses, and there are tens of thousands of warriors of our clan in the city! Besides, there are many more warriors scattered in various departments! This palace built by the Tang people has high and strong walls and a moat. As long as we and the rest of us are determined to be able to block the Tang army coming from the original path, once they run out of food and grass, the Tang people will retreat! When the time comes, we will go out of the city to chase and kill, and we will definitely be able to kill all these Tang people! This is the land of my barbarians, how can I tolerate the Tang people to be the masters! If this king hears of anyone who wants to surrender the city, hang him at the gate. “

Nong Jiangyi looked at the leaders of the various departments below who were silent and frightened, and nodded with great satisfaction: "In this mountain forest, the Tang cavalry is useless at all, if the city is really broken, we can retreat to the mountains and forests and continue to fight with the Tang people!" In the mountains and forests, it is the world of my barbarians, and the Tang people are powerful on the flat land, but in the mountains they are just a group of ant-like reptiles. ”

As soon as the words fell, a black barbarian leader stood up and said: "King, I heard that the Tang people can attract thunder to help in the battle, if the Tang people can really summon thunder, I'm afraid it will ......."

"Humph! It's a bunch of nonsense, presumably the Tang people don't know how to make something that can be the same as the sound of thunder, if it can really summon thunder, can you and I still be safe in this city today? That's just a scary thing made up by the Tang people, don't take this matter seriously! We must not spoil the morale of our warriors! ”

Hearing what Nong Jiangyi said, the leader had no choice but to withdraw the letter suspiciously, and Nong Jiangyi saw that there was no objection and waved his hand to let those leaders retreat, but the hand did not seem to have much strength......

Thunder! Others didn't know the power of the thunder, but Nong Jiangyi knew that the 3,000 warriors led by his nephew died under the terrible thunder. There are more than 500 people who attacked secretly, and he is very unwilling to surrender at the moment, but it is better to plan early......

Nong, who was full of worries, summoned his henchmen and whispered a few words, and then went up to the city wall in person.

Standing on the tall city wall, Nong General Yiyun had enough eyesight to vaguely see that the Tang army camp in front of him was busy, building siege equipment with trees that had been cut down a long time ago. Enraged, he struck the bricks with his hand and then turned to go down.

At night, the sky seemed to be a little gloomy, there was not a trace of moonlight, and the few starlights were also flickering in the dark night sky, which could not show a way for those who walked forward in the night.

"Squeak... Squeak..."

After the west gate was half opened, a group of barbarians quietly left the city with several carts, and the leader was none other than the confidant of Nong Jiangyi's confession......

At this time, although it was almost the third watch, Wang Xingxin and the others were not sleepy in Cheng Biting Jin's big tent under the illumination of a few butter giant candles.

Cheng Yanjin looked at the generals below and asked Wang Xingxin first: "Ming Shen, how many trebuchets are made now?" ”

"Back to the general, now the craftsmen have made more than thirty trebuchets in shifts day and night, and they will definitely be able to make fifty before dawn tomorrow, and it is enough to siege the city."

"No! Let the craftsman speed up again, and he will see a hundred trebuchets before the day after tomorrow! And the dozen slingshots you said also need to be made more quickly, but the thunderbolts are enough? ”

Sun Chong, the commander of the army, hugged his fist at Cheng Yanjin and said: "General Hui, from the time our army went out to the present, the craftsmen who made thunderbolts with the army have not stopped making, and now there are more than 8,000 thunderbolts in the Chinese army!" If you step up production now, you can have 10,000 pieces in the early morning after tomorrow! Just ......"

"Eldest Sun Chong, don't swallow, just what?"

Changsun Chong smiled bitterly at Cheng Yanjin and said, "General, the clay pot and iron pot used in this thunderbolt are gone!" ”

As soon as Cheng Yanjin heard this, he shouted at the eldest grandson like thunder: "Why is it gone?" Ben remembers how many clay pots he brought with his army! ”

"General, this clay pot is fragile, the long march is long, and the road is not very smooth, and this clay pot has lost more than thirty percent."

Cheng Yanjin, who wanted to attack the city in a day, had to change his mind when he heard Changsun Chong's words: "Ben will allocate 1,000 soldiers and horses to your Changsun Chong, and you will search all the clay pots and other items that can be used as thunderbolts in the nearby barbarian tribes within three days, if you don't see 10,000 thunderbolts after three days, you will definitely have to deal with them by military law!" ”

The eldest grandson glanced at Wang Xingxin helplessly, but found that his brother-in-law didn't look at him at all, so he sighed and stepped aside.

Wang Xingxin, who was a little sleepy, just yawned and was seen by Cheng Yanjin.

"Pioneer officer, do you have any objections to the general's arrangement?"

This objection scared Wang Xingxin suddenly lost his sleepiness, he was afraid! This ass is not good yet, it has just been able to go to the ground, and it would be very bad if this old goblin found a reason to beat it again.

"Back to the general, the last general has no objections."

"No objection, what are you yawning for? If you can't give a reason, I will punish you for the crime of disrespect! ”

As soon as he heard this, Wang Xingxin hurriedly made up a reason and said: "General, the last general is thinking about what to do with the rebellious barbarians after our army breaks through the city?" ”

Cheng Biting Jin's eyes turned a few times, he looked at Wang Xingxin with bad intentions and said, "Hmph, I will see that you are still very good at changing your intentions, very good!" What do you say to do about it? It is said that Ben will not be satisfied, and the ten military sticks are indispensable! ”

Wang Xingxin looked at the brothers who were a little gloating, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "General, the last general thinks that we have to kill a group, release a group, appease a group, and win over a group." ”

Cheng Yanjin listened to the ingenious answer and said curiously: "Be clear, be specific." ”

"After we break the city, we can kill a group of barbarian diehards who do not surrender and are guilty, release those inconsequential little leaders, appease some centrists, and then win over other barbarian tribes except the black barbarians. Let them contain each other, divide and rule, and we will beat whoever is strong, and help whoever is weak......"

The more Wang Xingxin spoke, the more energetic Cheng Biting Jin became, and finally Cheng Biting Jin was overjoyed: "Ming Shen, what is in your kid's head, you are more shrewd than your father-in-law's old fox!" Hmph, now I will look at those civil officials and say that we and other military generals will only fight and not govern the country! Good! After the city is broken, everything will be left to you! ”

Hearing Cheng Biting Jin's words, Wang Xingxin hurriedly said: "General, we are here to quell the rebellion, not to govern the place, and it is better not to do this matter!" ”

"Bastard! Ben will let you do it, you will do it! You still want to take that baton! ”

Looking at Qin Huaidao, Cheng Chumo and the others, Wang Xingxin said indignantly: "Okay! But in the end, I will need a few helpers. ”

"Say, I'll give it all to you!"

After finishing speaking, Wang Xingxin named a few names of his friends, now it's okay, I want to trouble everyone together, and let you laugh at the master.......
