154 burned the new city
"Su You is very good, he actually knows how to take advantage of the right time and place, and he is quite handsome." Yang Guang looked at the city that was gradually taking shape in front of him, and immediately saw the secret of Su You's construction of the city. As the so-called layman looks at the excitement, and the insider looks at the doorway, Yang Guang and the messengers around him are essentially different in terms of vision and mind.
The city built by Su You and the Liuhe City built by Yu Wenkai are actually the same in essence, to put it bluntly, the materials have been prepared for a long time, and they can be arranged and combined skillfully at critical moments; The city built by Su You is as big as dozens of Liuhe cities, and it requires more materials, and it will be more difficult to coordinate the characters, but this city was built to be destroyed, so Su You is even more casual than Yu Wenkai in command.
What's even better is that Su You had already transported a large amount of supplies through the Guò Sanggan River, which was also the key to building the city quickly.
As the sound of gold remembered, the new city was completed, and the soldiers who were still busy just now left slowly and methodically, but the gates of the new city were closed, and there were still many guards standing on the city walls; When everyone looked closely, they found that those people and horses were clay pottery, with various shapes, but they were all lifelike.
"What is this for?" The envoys were a little puzzled when they saw that after the new city was built in a short period of time, the soldiers who built the city left behind these clay figures and mud horses.
"Ladies and gentlemen, how should this city compare with the Liuhe City?" Yang Guang listened to them whispering but didn't know the point, then laughed, and then pointed to Xincheng and asked.
"Back to the Son of Heaven of the Great Sui, the speed of the construction of this city is like the power of gods and ghosts, and it is really an eye-opener for us." The envoy of Silla was not close to Yang Guang, but he and the envoy of Baekje now had a request for the Great Sui, but they waited for nearly ten days without a response, so as long as they had the opportunity, they would say a few words of sycophants to Yang Guang.
However, what he said at this moment was indeed from the bottom of his heart, and at this time, the envoys of other countries around him listened to his answer, and they all echoed it, although they did not dare to say that the speed of construction of this new city in front of him was definitely unprecedented, at least unprecedented.
"Is it just that it's built fast?" Yang Guang nodded, just now he asked about the comparison between Xincheng and Liuhe City, obviously the Silla envoy did not grasp the point, if it is faster, how can the city that was built in more than half an hour be compared to Liuhe City, which was completed in a few breaths?
"Not only was it built quickly, but it was built majestically and tallly, and it was a fortified city that was rarely seen in the north; If there are 10,000 people in the city, even if there are millions of foreign enemies, it will be difficult for them to bear it. Mo Heduo, the chief of the Murwei Division, was blessed to the heart, and immediately grasped the point of Yang Guang's question, which made the latter nod his head.
"How about the capital of your country?" Yang Er was by Yang Guang's side at this time, and when he heard Yang Guang talking to him, he couldn't help but interject.
"His Royal Highness the King of Qi doesn't know that our tribe lives by water and does not have a fixed city, but the scale of the national capital is comparable to this new city." Mo Heduo was a little depressed and a little self-cherished when he talked about the current life of his people, and many of the envoys next to him were also gloomy, obviously it was difficult for their country to find a strong city.
"Each place has its own way of life, so step aside." King Qi interrupted, but Yang Guang did not look unhappy, but immediately expressed his intention to provide financial assistance to these distant younger brothers, which made these people secretly shout that the trip was worthwhile, and they praised Yang Guangfang again.
"Almost, let's go to the show." Yang Guang didn't pay attention to the impromptu act of sending out a few sweet dates, and when the drums sounded again, he shifted everyone's attention to the direction of the new city.
The drums stopped, and the rumbling sound sounded, but it was the last two hundred catapults on the field during the parade just now that they appeared first, and these catapults slowly approached the new city under the arch of the two more than two infantry in front of them, and finally stopped outside the moat of the new city, and then light cavalry, heavy cavalry, archers, manual soldiers and other troops appeared one after another.
In just a few breaths, more than 20,000 tiger and wolf armies have surrounded the three gates of the new city, and the siege battle is about to break out.
"Put!" With the herald's move, 200 catapults threw mud balls at the new city at the same time.
"Is this going to be a trebuchet?" Yang Guang shook his head and waited to see what happened.
In Yang Guang's cognition, trebuchets are used to defend the city; The catapult in the game that Su You played in later generations was an indispensable artifact in the siege battle, and it was obviously unthinkable to attack the city without using the catapult, but this was obviously not the point.
"This trebuchet uses mud balls, not stone balls." Yu Wenhua was standing on the dirt slope at this time watching the first round of test firing of the catapult, and couldn't help muttering,—— those mud balls broke after hitting the target, and the lethality of the stone balls was really different.
"Attention catapults, now unify the ruler, two feet and two inches, calibrated and ready to launch." The heralds played the flag with the chess, and the catapult riders quickly calibrated the rulers, but in fact it was just a given procedure, and it didn't matter if they didn't understand the flag language, because today's performance had already been rehearsed yesterday.
"Quick Throw, Target, Twenty Mud Balls!" The herald then gave a third order.
In the next half of the tea, 4,000 mud balls were thrown out and fell into the new city. The sound of a catapult's noose, the sound of a ball of mud breaking through the air, and the sound of a ball of mud breaking after hitting its target were heard in the city.
"This ...... I hope Su You doesn't mess up! Yang Guang stood on Liuhe City, looking at the dusty mud balls in the new city, but he was a little inexplicably worried about this big scene.
Su You, Su You, you're not a tease soldier sent by a monkey, are you?
They defend the city with trebuchets, but you attack the city with trebuchets; People are loaded with stone bullets on trebuchets, but you use mud balls to save costs; Even if you use a trebuchet to attack a city by surprise, even if you use mud balls instead of stone balls to be unique, do you know what the key to siege is?
Attack the city gates, dear!
It's better to use a trebuchet to smash people and houses, than to release rockets!
Yang Guang watched the trebuchet slowly retreat, and there was something uncomfortable in his heart. He didn't expect that this military exercise would be like this, if it weren't for the construction of the city and the siege of the city, even if it was just a phalanx, it would be unsatisfactory, after all, those envoys just now had already praised the military appearance of the Great Sui, but you just did it when the dog's tail continued to marten, and it could have ended perfectly......
With no hair on his mouth and no way to do things, maybe he should have communicated with these young people a long time ago. Thinking so, Yang Guang subconsciously turned his head to look at Yang Yu on the side, but the latter's face was full of anticipation and eagerness.
"There are two demons living in every man's heart, one is to kill and the other is to set fire." Su You muttered to himself, and then gave another order. Su You is like a director at this time, but he can't do whatever he wants, because not only does this director not have an actress to sleep with, but he will lose all his money if he messes up; But he has this confidence, and he believes that the script he wrote is flawless.
"Archer, prepare!"
Yang Guang watched the archers come forward and finally breathed a sigh of relief, but the bows and arrows shot by these people were obviously not aimed at the city gate.
"Ignition, suppressive shooting!"
With an order, thousands of rockets were fired at the new city at the same time, and the sappers erected a pontoon bridge over the moat with wooden planks under the cover of bows and arrows, because the city was originally used for drills, so the moat was not flooded, and the pontoon bridge was only a matter of moment.
At the same time, after a few rounds of rockets, Xincheng was already billowing with black smoke, and Yang Guang couldn't help but nod and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The mud balls thrown by the catapult just now were not real mud balls, but oil balls stained with animal fat, and the guards standing on the city walls in the new city were also scarecrows with mud pasting the surface, and many of the building materials in the new city were flammable, so the city was already thick with smoke and burned at this moment. - What Su You wants to show is actually a fire attack!
"Wonderful performance, just in line with my wishes!" Yang Guang looked at the thick smoke covering the sky, and couldn't help but praise Su You in his heart.
The foreign envoys on Liuhe City watched the fire in the new city, and they were a little overwhelmed for a while; The new city was built in half an hour, but it was only half a cup of tea that the fortified city was turned into a sea of fire with the cooperation of catapults and rockets, and it seemed that the city would collapse in a blink of an eye.
The catapults had now withdrawn from the battlefield, and the sappers were playing a game of blocks between the walls and the ground with wooden boxes under the cover of bed crossbows, and in just a few moments, a triangular slope had been built on the head of the city with the close cooperation of the sappers.
The first to rush to the city were the light cavalry wielding swords and shields, who rushed into the city and seized the city gate as soon as possible, and then the heavy cavalry drove straight in, crushing directly through the city gate, and the new banner was raised in the flames of battle.
"The overall situation has been decided, and the envoys will go back with me for lunch." Yang Guang saw that the battle situation was decided, and said to the envoys around him in a commonplace manner, and then asked casually, "What do you think of this siege scene?"
"The attacks are dizzying, it's really too fast, it's too exciting." The Baekje envoy immediately took over Yang Guang's topic, obviously he had done a good job of writing and had long wanted to talk to Yang Guang, so his idiom was used decently, but the last two exclamations caused everyone to laugh.
In fact, the mood of the envoys of various countries is similar to the mood of the Baekje envoys, looking at the big scene directed by Su You, they are inexplicably excited, but they are a little afraid of imagining, if these armies are attacking their own country? - So they ended up trembling, and even felt a little wet on their backs, and they broke out in a lot of cold sweat in this hot day.
"Haha, you have all seen the combat effectiveness of my Great Sui Guards, and you will tell each other when you go back." Yang Guang paused, his tone was calm, but with endless deterrence, he paused and then instructed Wang Yidao, the chamberlain beside him, "Before the banquet, summon the Huya General Yang Shanhui and the Great General Lai Hu'er to the Imperial Palace, it's time to give a satisfactory answer to the envoy of Silla Baekje." ”
Wang Yi replied and recited it silently a few times in order to remember.
However, the Silla Baekje envoys knew the meaning of the song and fell to the ground together, sincerely thanking Yang Guang.
