"Meng Ying, you take Master Jia to the mansion to rest."

Meng Hui didn't wait for Jia Nidao to speak, he had already seen some signs, and he directly blocked Jia Nidao's words that he wanted to follow him upstairs in the city.

Looking at Meng Heng, who was looking at him with a wary face, Jia seemed to know that this time Meng Hui would not give in no matter what. However, he had not planned to go up to the castle tower so early.

At this time, when he went up to the city tower, he would not say whether the effect on motivating morale was big or small, at least it would disrupt Meng Heng's command. Meng Heng would definitely be distracted and worried about his safety.

"Meng Shuai, this thing is for you, maybe it can give you some help."

Jia Rudao said and handed the only two remaining monoculars in his hand to Meng Heng. The telescope that was given to Jiang Hai before, Jia Rudao naturally wouldn't really take it back. The role of the water army, Jia Yidao is the clearest. Not to mention that Jiang Hai, the Xiangyang Sailor, will be his person sooner or later, so he naturally won't be stingy with this little telescope that is still very precious and will be everywhere soon.

Meng Hui took the telescope handed over by Jia Yidao suspiciously: "What is this?" ”

"Dashuai, this is a good thing."

Jia Rudao hadn't opened his mouth yet, and Jiang Hai couldn't wait to say on the side.

"Oh? Do you know the way? Meng Heng looked at Jiang Hai in surprise.

"This ......" Jiang Hai's old face turned red, but he didn't know how to answer Meng Heng.

The thing in his hand, he really can't say how he got it. Such a precious thing, he didn't dare to accept it, he couldn't bear Jia Yidao's order, and Jiang Hai really wanted it.

With this thing, anticipating the enemy's first opportunity will not be an empty talk. Detect your opponent's movements in advance, especially in water fights, so you can prepare in advance. After all, the movement of a naval warship on the water will certainly not be as convenient as that of a human.

"Hehe, when I came, I was taken care of by General Jiang all the way, and I happened to be worried about the sneak attack of the Mongolian sailors, so I also sent a telescope to General Jiang." Jia Rudao smiled and relieved Jiang Hai and said, "With General Jiang here, I can tell Meng Shuai how to use this gadget." ”

Gadgets?

Meng Hui looked at Jia Yidao, and then looked at Jiang Hai with a guilty face, and did not continue to delve into it, after all, now he doesn't know what kind of gadget this thing is Lu Dao, but looking at Jiang Hai's appearance, Meng Hui knows that Lu Dao is not as simple as a gadget.

The sound of trumpets outside the city continued, and it was clear that the Mongol army was still gathering.

"Then Ben Shuai is going now, Meng Ying, you take care of Master Jia, if there is a half-point difference, come and see you."

Meng Ying is still not at ease, with Meng Ying's status, as long as Jia Nidao thinks about it, Meng Ying will definitely not be able to look at him, not to mention that there are two thousand forbidden soldiers around Jia Nidao, including five hundred forbidden troops in front of the palace. So he had to use Meng Ying's head to blackmail Jia Nidao.

After speaking, Meng Heng urged the horse to leave.

"Wait for Meng Shuai!"

"Seeming to be the ...... Can you go to the house to rest with peace of mind? Meng Hui really couldn't do it, so he turned his horse's head and said helplessly. He thought that Jia Rudao had changed his mind again.

"Meng Shuai, I promise that I will definitely not go up to the city tower today. It's just that there are some things I want to ask Meng Shuai. Is there a weapon craftsman in Xiangyang City? How much gunpowder is available in the city today? ”

Jia Rudao also knows that this is not the time to talk nonsense. The military situation is urgent, and Meng Heng is bound to take charge.

Hearing Jia Yidao's words, Meng Hui hesitated for a moment and said: "Naturally, there are weapons craftsmen in Xiangyang City, and gunpowder is also available, and the specific quantity is ...... I really don't know this handsome. ”

"Then can you ask General Meng Ying to help you count the statistics?"

"Good! Meng Ying, except for Lord Jia, who can't go to the city, everything else you have to do is at the command of Lord Jia. ”

"The last general obeys!"

Meng Hui nodded to Jia Yidao, and rode his horse to lead the generals to gallop away.

"Lord Jia, please come here." Wait until Meng Heng and the others leave, and clench their fists and please.

When the horn sounded outside the city, the crowd gathered in front of the city gate had already dispersed the soldiers responsible for maintaining order. They must also be ready to send rolling stones, sassalwoods and other equipment to the city at any time.

"General Meng, is this good? You can let someone else take the official to the resting place, what about you, now go and summon all the ordnance craftsmen in Xiangyang City to the resting place of the official, and then help the official count the gunpowder geometry in the city by the way, if you rush to make it, the materials are enough. How is it? ”

Jia Rudao looked at Meng Ying Zhengsedao.

Xiangyang City can't be lost no matter what. This time he lost it, and if he recaptured it again next time, he didn't know when Lu Dao would have to wait, and more importantly, he didn't know whether the Mongol side's war against Xiangyang City this time was a lukewarm act to vent his anger, or whether the main direction of Mongolia's domestic conquest had changed, and he gave up continuing to attack westward to conquer Europe, and put the main direction of attack on the Great Song Dynasty, then Xiangyang City was a fortress that had to be defended.

Although he hadn't asked Meng Heng how many soldiers there were in the city now, just by looking at Meng Heng's expression, it was clear that the battle damage in the city must be extremely serious.

Kou Wen Buhua summoned all the 60,000 Mongolian cavalry in the Huaixi and Huaidong theaters to Xiangyang City, either he really wanted to solve Xiangyang City before the reinforcements from the Huaixi and Huaidong theaters arrived, or he already had another way to contain the Song army in the Huaixi and Huaidong theaters.

If it is the second type, Xiangyang City will still have time, but if it is the first type, then Xiangyang City will be worried.

Whether it is for the Great Song Dynasty or for Jia Yidao, as long as Xiangyang City can be held, then it will be a big victory. And in order to solve the trouble of Xiangyang City, or to force him to retreat without spending money, then he must first realize that if he wants to capture Xiangyang City, he must be prepared with enough chips, even including the preparation of taking the 60,000 Mongolian cavalry into it.

Dealing with the Mongol cavalry, gunpowder weapons, seemed to be the only viable solution.

“…… My lord, the armory craftsmen are all in the armory prison of Xiangyang City......"

Meng Ying was a little speechless, since she is an ordnance craftsman, don't say that it is still the time when the war is still in full swing, even if it is in peacetime, it must be in the ordnance prison, right? Can't you still run around?

Could it be that this Lord Jia really wants to go to the city for a walk? Otherwise, how could he not even know such common sense?

"Oh? That gunpowder must also be in the armory prison? In that case, then we'll go straight to the ordnance superintendent. Jia Rudao's old face flushed, and he actually made such a common-sense mistake.

"This ...... Adults are tired from the journey, why don't you go and rest first? The marshal has already prepared food and drinks for the lord and the forbidden army brothers in the mansion......"

"Then send the food and wine directly to the ordnance prison, and the officer happens to eat it with those ordnance craftsmen." Jia Rudao interrupted Meng Ying's words and said with a smile.

Looking at Jia Rudao, who was still smiling, Meng Ying was shocked. At that moment he felt the pressure from Jia Yidao that he only felt on his brother Meng Heng. It is a prestige that can only be cultivated by those who are in power after years of being in power.

Obviously, the uncle and the ambassador of the army in front of him, who has always been smiling and looking kind, is really not a good person.

"The last will obey! Adult, please. ”
