Chapter 238: Breaking the Ground and Conquering (7)
The plan drawn up by Le Yang for the second day of attack was declared bankrupt before it lasted until the afternoon, for the simple reason that when the heavily armed soldiers climbed to the top of the dirt slope again, the bright reflection in the open space opposite directly dispelled their desire to continue advancing.

In that flat land, countless thistles were hidden in the grass, and if it weren't for the help of the scorching sun in the sky, which made those sharp weapons hidden in the shadows refract the light, these dazed and ignorant soldiers would have stepped on it with one foot. It can be imagined that when the tall building cart is traveling on such a road, and the soldiers pushing the cart below are suddenly pierced through the feet by thistles, then these behemoths that have lost their power will become fixed targets, and the defenders at the head of the city can adjust their bows and crossbows, so that they can concentrate their firepower for roll call, and then completely disintegrate the opponent's offensive.
These endless little tricks can't stop the advance of the army, and they won't even cause too many casualties, but it is these small tricks that make Le Yang's rhythm completely disrupted, and he has to separate soldiers to deal with such and such trivial matters, because if you don't deal with these small trivial things, it is very likely that the other party will use it to form an advantage, and then expand the advantage into a victory step by step, which will affect the entire battle situation.
At the same time as the guards outside the city were nervously mobilized, the defenders of Qingyun County were not idle, the armory workshop in the city transported the bronze cast sassato to the city wall, and dozens of masters were nervously installing the noose, this kind of sassato is heavier than the log, and the lethality is greater, and even the ladder can be broken, but its shortcomings are also obvious, that is, the weight is too heavy, and the two soldiers who were originally equipped with it cannot lift it up again, and must send an additional person to do it. Therefore, while installing it, those masters explained how it was used to the soldiers next to them, so that the soldiers who operated it could form combat power as soon as possible.
Compared with the tense atmosphere in Qingyun County, Guiling County is much calmer, and the people are not disturbed by the war and still live their own peaceful lives. The meandering waters of the Fen River still flow quietly, and a small sentry tower is hidden in the greenery among the trees not far from the river, and the shirtless sentry leans against the pillar, his eyes far away to the end of the Fen River.
Suddenly, a small black dot jumped to the horizon, if the lookout person did not observe carefully, he would not be able to find such a small change at all, the sentry rubbed his eyes, stared carefully, only to see the continuous black dots appear one after another at the end of the Fen River, and soon connected into a black line, the sentry suddenly realized, it was a boat! A very large number of ships! The sentry slid down the sentry tower quickly, jumped on the war horse that had been prepared for a long time, and ran quickly in the direction of the county town.
The varnished boat broke through the waves and flew forward with the help of the water, Wu Zhe sat in the bow of the boat, and his mood was not calm yet. Thinking that Yingguang asked him to open up the trade route with the Yue clan at the beginning, he just thought that he wanted to make some money in case of emergency. It wasn't until today that Wu Zhe suddenly discovered that things didn't seem to be what he imagined.
Money is only one purpose to open up trade routes, and the other purpose is to borrow troops!
Feng Zhuang in the first time after receiving the letter from Yingguang, began to vigorously build ships, although these ships are made according to the use of merchant ships, but the specifications are completely more than ordinary merchant ships, the bottom of the cabin in addition to the crew's living quarters, there is a large livestock area, weekdays are locked in some cattle and sheep, and in wartime, it is a war horse!
Yue's family started by relying on cavalry, their iron cavalry combat power is extraordinary, Ying Guang has seen it when Yue's family was a general of the Proton Mansion, as early as when Feng Zhuang seduced Mu Wutu, Ying Guang started the idea of Yue's iron cavalry. Feng Zhuang has been mixed in the Yueshi in the past few years, in fact, he has done one thing, that is, on the basis of the original Yueshi cavalry, he has trained a cavalry under his control, although the number of this cavalry is not much, only 1,500 cavalry, but all of them have mastered the essence of cavalry combat, which can be regarded as the real elite. Therefore, when Feng Zhuang received a letter of help from Ying Guang, he immediately ordered his cavalry to assemble, and at the same time told the head of the Yue clan to Yu Yi, with the support of Yu Yi, Feng Zhuang ordered his elite cavalry and went to Guiling County with Wu Zhe by boat!
"Old Wu, what are you doing here!"
Feng Zhuang got out of the cabin, and saw Wu Zhe in the bow of the boat in the shape of a bag, and immediately felt very unhappy, to say that he was the first in the army at the beginning, and now there is such a competitive fat man, how can Feng Zhuang be balanced in his heart!
"The bow of the ship is hard, even if you want to show your plump figure, you have to change the direction, you talk about this limelight, directly cut out the edges and corners of your fat robe, you see you are like a dough in a circle, what is an old man doing so round!"
It seems that Feng Zhuang has made a lot of progress in the Yueshi for a few years, he was just a cheap trick before, and now he has a poisonous tongue.
It's just that Wu Zhe didn't have the heart to tease him, before he left, he had already expected that the defense would definitely raise troops to retaliate, and now that it has been so long, the battle should have started. On the river, the source of information is scarce, so he doesn't know what it has become now, but one thing is certain, that is, the sooner his group arrives, the better.
"Feng Zhuang, don't be embarrassed, now the generals are full of talents, and the generals have recruited a few new people, and their combat power is not worse than yours! I see that you have been enjoying happiness in the Yueshi for a long time, and if you lose your original heart, you will have to fall sooner or later! It was really unbearable to be beaten by Feng Zhuang, and Wu Zhe finally began to fight back: "Tell me where you look like a general now, and you even brought a dog to the battlefield, I really don't know what you think." ”
"Dogs?" Feng Zhuang suddenly laughed, tapped the bilge with his finger, and said to Wu Zhe with a smile: "What kind of eyes do you old boy have, it's not a dog, but a wolf!" That's the trophy we won at the Colosseum! Another word of advice, don't speak ill of it in front of it, that beast is shrewd! ”
As he spoke, the wolf walked out of the cabin with steps, the rickety merchant ship made the wolf very uncomfortable, it preferred to run on the wide grassland, but it should be almost there, just at the bottom of the ship, it heard the noise of the shore in the distance, driven by curiosity, it came to the deck to take a look, by the way to breathe.
Wu Zhe and Feng Zhuang changed the topic very wisely, and before they could say a few words, they saw a group of soldiers appear on the ferry in front of them, and they should all be soldiers from Guiling County. Wu Zhe turned around and said to Feng Zhuang with a smile: "Although I have quarreled with you all the way, I still have to say a word to you - welcome home." (To be continued.) )
