As soon as Luo Rucai asked his subordinates to move a big stool and sit outside the handsome tent, he hugged the two beautiful girls in his arms, and looked at the city with a smile.

When he saw that his soldiers took the lead and successfully climbed the city wall one by one, he suddenly laughed and said to Song Zuzhi, the military advisor beside him: "Song Junshi's method is really good, and our soldiers have really climbed to the top of the city." ”

"The minister doesn't dare to take credit!" Song Zuzhi bowed down flatteringly, his face was full of smiles, the old skin was like a chrysanthemum blooming, and when he spoke, he unconsciously pushed Luo Rucai into the position of the monarch, and called himself a minister: "Boss, you wait and see, once the city starts to fight, the speed of the follow-up soldiers to the city will be greatly improved, so that in a moment, Shangqiu City will undoubtedly fall." ”

"Hahahaha!" Luo Rucai touched his beard and laughed: "Who said that useless is a scholar, and a reader has the benefits of a scholar, Ben Shuai only saw it today." ”

"Dashuai!" Song Zuzhi said again: "When we fight the world, we rely on military generals, and we have to rely on our civil officials to govern the world." If the marshal captures Shangqiu City and takes his wealth and goes straight to Nanjing, he can go south and become the king, and then he should open up his speech and recruit more civil officials, so that he can gradually encroach on the world step by step. ”

Luo Rucai laughed, took out the clairvoyant mirror and looked at the west gate of Shangqiu City, and secretly wondered: "What's the matter, it's been in the city for so long, why haven't you killed these girls who are guarding the city?" The more he looked at it, the more wrong it became, although his soldiers went up a lot, it seemed that compared with the defenders of Guide Mansion, they did not have the strength to fight, often people punched and kicked each other, and the sword was slightly raised to force their own soldiers to the city.

What's going on?

"What's going on?"

Luo Rucai's clairglass mirror moved from the top of the city to the bottom of the city, and he saw that his soldiers were still climbing towards the city, and when he looked down, a layer of dead bodies had piled up on the ground.

Not good!

Luo Rucai was taken aback and said, "Strategist, this is not right. Then he shouted to the side: "Lu Xiong, Lu Xiong, hurry up and come back to me." ”

The Metropolitan Governor Lu Xiong ran over like a gust of wind.

Luo Rucai jumped up and asked, "Look at what's going on at the head of the city, why can't our soldiers take the city for a long time after they landed in the city?" ”

Lu Xiong's eyes followed Luo Rucai's fingers, and after only one glance, he frowned and said: "Marshal, the last general has reported to you yesterday that the defenders of the Guide Mansion are really evil, they are all uniformly configured Japanese knives in their hands, and the bayonets are extremely sharp, although they can't sharpen iron like clay, but they are far better than those knives smuggled from Japan. ”

"Where's the knife?" Luo Rucai asked.

Lu Xiong said: "The subordinates will take it." ”

Yesterday he listened to Lu Xiong's report but didn't pay attention to it, but now he wants to see what happened to this sword.

After a while, Lu Xiong came back with six knives, handed them to Luo Rucai and said: "Dashuai, this is the day and night attack, we grabbed a few knives, our subordinates have tried it a few days ago, and our ordinary weapons can often cut our weapons in two, and under the vigorous swing, we can break three layers of bamboo armor at once." ”

"Buzzing ......" Luo Rucai held a Japanese knife in his hand, and made a chopping motion in the air.

"Good knife, this can be said to be a treasure knife." Luo Rucai's eyes lit up, then dimmed again, and asked, "You mean, everyone in Su Baiyi's subordinates is this kind of treasure sword?" ”

"Yes, Dashuai!" Lu Xiong bowed and replied.

"Well, you're going to make a horse leg!"

Horse legs are made of bamboo poles, simply put, several bamboo poles are tied together and buried deep in the ground, leaving one person tall outside, looking at the horse's legs from a distance, so it is called a horse leg, sometimes called a cow leg.

After Luo Rucai waited for Lu Xiong to lead people to finish the horse's legs, he slowly raised the sword with both hands, and then from the top right to the bottom left, he slashed down cleanly, and the one-person-high horse's leg was cut off from it, leaving an oblique incision.

"Damn, it's so sharp?" Luo Rucai stared blankly at the oblique incision of the horse's leg, his face full of shock.

If everyone in the hands of the enemy army has this kind of sword, then their own soldiers ......

He hurriedly threw the knife in his hand on the ground, picked up the clairvoyant mirror not far away and looked at the ground under the city, and suddenly felt cold in his heart, and hurriedly said to Lu Xiong: "Go, Mingjin collects the troops." ”

……

The siege battle, which lasted for an hour, ended, and many soldiers were instantly paralyzed to the ground.

Su Baiyi also went to the city at this time, looking at the city walls stained with red blood everywhere, and his brows were tightly locked.

"What about the casualties?" Su Baiyi asked the four generals.

"We counted it just now, and there are more than 300 baby soldiers who died!" Mao Chenglu's face was gloomy.

Kong Youde smiled and said, "My lord, it's worth it for us to die more than 300 soldiers, look at the city, they have at least one or two thousand dead." ”

Su Baiyi had already seen the situation below, but he was not as happy as Kong Youde.

More than 300 people died in a single siege, while the other side only killed 2,000.

If Luo Rucai dares to fight, and just keeps letting his soldiers come to death, how long can this Shangqiu City be defended?

He only has 6,000 soldiers in his hands, and this siege can only last half an hour!

If Luo Rucai attacked for a day, then the Guide Mansion really didn't have to defend it.

"What the hell is going on, how did they get to the top of the city?" Su Baiyi was not in the city just now, so the real situation was not very clear.

"It's a crowd tactic!" Mao Chenglu said: "This surnamed Luo has some ability, relying on the advantage of a large number of people, he did not hesitate to kill or wound the archers behind him to suppress the formation, and constantly put pressure on the defenders at the head of our city, so that we couldn't raise our heads." Then their siege soldiers climbed and came up. ”

Geng Zhongming nodded and said, "In the final analysis, the walls of our Shangqiu City are too short, if we can build a big city as high as ten zhang, those siegers will not be able to attack it in a short time, and the archers will not be able to press the formation, so there will be no such many problems." ”

"Isn't that nonsense?" Su Baiyi said: "It's our Shangqiu City, do you think it's Beijing City?" He turned his face to Li Suo and said, "You go and organize the soldiers to change their guards." He waved his hand at Kong Youde and the others: "The three of you come here, we have to come up with a way." ”

Su Baiyi found a slightly flat place, and the three of them sat down on the spot and began to discuss.

Although the content of this discussion is simple, it is indeed an important military meeting, and it is of milestone significance in the history of the entire Ming Dynasty, because from this day on, a method of defending the city that makes the eggs of the non-artillery siegers hurt to the lungs has been developed.

"It's easy to do!"

Su Baiyi looked at the three of them and said this confidently.

Through some in-depth discussion, he now understands the whole thing.

Isn't it that there is no vision when defending, you can't defend when you have a vision, and you can't take care of defense when you work?

One glass of glass will do it all.

The use of glass as a shield is not a fantasy, but because there are too many examples in later generations.

For example, the helmets of the explosion-proof armed police, and the explosion-proof glass shields in their hands.

If you put a glass shield at the head of the city, it will not only defend against the attacks of archers, but also observe the movement of the besieging soldiers at all times, and you can shoot arrows by staggering a gap between the glass and the city wall.

The only trouble is that it only takes two people to cooperate.

"Easy to do?" Kong Youde's eyes widened and looked at Su Baiyi.

Su Baiyi said with a smile: "Isn't it just invisible, I asked the students to make a shield made of glass, and the soldiers defending the city are in groups of two, each group distributes a piece, one is responsible for raising the shield for defense, and the other is responsible for archery attack, isn't this a perfect solution?" In this way, Luo Rucai wants to go to our Shangqiu City, which is very impossible. ”

"My lord, this is a good idea!" Geng Zhongming is more able to speak, he didn't accuse at the first time, first said a flattering word, and then vaguely pointed out the shortcomings of his method: "But there is a point, the glass is too brittle, how to resist the bow and arrow?" ”

Su Baiyi smiled: "You don't know this, not all glass is brittle, and some are also very strong." Don't worry, you can watch the defense of the city, and in the afternoon you can let the soldiers go to the warehouse to get the glass. ”

After lunch, each soldier was given their new weapon: a wide, thick transparent glass shield.

Kong Youde smiled, took the shield in his hand and looked at it over and over, and erected it on the city wall.

Suddenly thinking of something, he grabbed Mao Chenglu and said, "Uncle, you wait." ”

Mao Chenglu glanced at Geng Zhongming deeply, shook his head and said: "Ruitu, at the beginning, we were working under Mao Shuai, and you should call me uncle, but now that you are under Master Su, all kinds of things in the past should be regarded as a dream, and we will all be brothers in the future, you can call me brother." ”

"Ah......" Kong Youde was stunned.

"Ahh Mao Chenglu patted him and said, "What's the matter, you say!" ”

"Hmm!" Kong Youde handed the shield in his hand to Mao Chenglu: "You take it, I'll try it with a bow and arrow, I always feel that this thing looks brittle, and my heart is not steady." ”

Mao Chenglu took the shield and said horizontally in front of him: "You are not down-to-earth, but I believe in adults, come on." ”

Kong Youde walked more than a dozen steps away, pulled the sandalwood hard bow for a full moon, and suddenly thought that if this glass couldn't bear it, wouldn't it be to shoot Mao Chenglu to death with an arrow, and quickly loosened some bowstrings a little, and shot towards the part outside Mao Chenglu's body.

With a "dang" sound, the long arrow fell to the ground, but the glass was intact.

Mao Chenglu laughed, threw the shield at Kong Youde, and said, "Are you relieved now?" ”

Kong Youde looked at the shield in his hand in a daze, surprised and surprised, and muttered in his mouth: "Amazing, Lord Su is worthy of being Lord Su, even the emperor calls him Su Zi, he is really not an ordinary person." ”
