"So stupid, how can you not be fooled?"

Qing Yunfei grinned, glanced at Han Ju, and a hint of a nonchalant smile flashed in his eyes.

Han Ju also smiled slightly, but for a moment, he turned his head and looked at Qing Yunfei: "You...... What do you mean by Fang Cai's words? ”

"This group of waste, I haven't found any traces of you along the way, it's not what waste is, haha!"

Hearing Qing Yunfei's words, Han Ju's face turned a little green, this was not only scolding the scout of Dali for being stupid, but also talking about himself, he didn't say a word, and then turned his head and walked towards Pingnan.

Qing Yunfei couldn't help but laugh when he saw Han Ju's expression, his current kung fu is not bad at all, following Liu Fa, he didn't learn much good, but he learned a lot of bad things.

Seeing the Dali scouts walking away step by step, Qing Yunfei finally got serious, he took a look, the Dali scouts had already appeared in his field of vision again, and now they had arrived at the iron rope again, seeing that they were about to walk on Xiaoshu Road, Qing Yunfei also turned his head, watching Han Ju slowly walk away, he shouted: "Hey, wait for me, what's the hurry!" ”

At this moment, these Dali scouts have gone far away, and they can no longer hear Qing Yunfei's voice, they just hope to return to the camp non-stop and spread the good news to Mu Qingchen.

Pingnan.

In the mansion where Liu Fa temporarily lived, quietly, in the front hall, it was full of generals under Liu Fa, the two brothers of the Ye family, the three generals of the Southern Prison, as well as Qing Yunfei and An Dongye, all here!

Only Xin He is still running around Hongcheng and Xiangyin, because of Dali's attack not long ago, Hongcheng almost fell into the hands of Dali, and Xiong Jiajun also died tragically in the city, so now only Xin He is struggling to deal with political affairs between the two counties.

Now what they have to face is the pressure of Dali's army, and Dali's soldiers and horses are outside the city, if they attack the city, Liu Fa is not afraid, and the soldiers under his command will not be afraid, but now the news from the cold move has made Liu Fa have to pay attention to it, and the prince of Dali actually chose to take the risk of military action and start from Qinglong Gorge.

I have to say that sending troops to Qinglong Gorge is an extremely good choice, but the premise is that Liu Fa doesn't know, because this road has miraculous effects, so it is accompanied by strange dangers.

"Now although we know that Dali has the motive to send troops to Qinglong Gorge, but now that they are not moving, we can't conclude that Dali will really send troops to Qinglong Gorge!"

Liu Fa looked at the map, his fingers kept tapping on the point of Qinglong Gorge, and his eyes seemed to be a little complicated.

Nangong Zhi's angry eyes were extremely vicious, he looked at Liu Fan's fingers, and suddenly raised his head: "No matter whether Dali really sends troops to Qinglong Gorge or not, we have to guard against them, so in Qinglong Gorge, we still need to set up an ambush!" ”

"That's right!"

Qing Yunfei and the generals all nodded, their eyes were full of approval, they all agreed with Nangong's statement of controlling anger, this was indeed a safe way.

Liu Fa stood in the middle of the hall, walking around, not saying a word, just staring at the map, as if he had not heard the general's discussion.

At this moment, Antonye on the side seemed to be asleep, and he didn't say a word, just lowered his eyelids, and there was no expression on his face.

Suddenly, Liu Fa raised his head and glanced at the people around him, only to see that all the generals were eager to try, and seemed to want to have a contest with the Dali army, only An Dongye, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, but he didn't say a word.

"Brother Higashino, what do you think?"

When An Dongye heard Liu Fa ask himself, he immediately leaned down, his eyes were bright, and he said with a smile: "The general already has a calculation in his heart, why do you ask me?" ”

Hearing An Dongye's words, all the generals were stunned, and then they all looked at Liu Fan, Liu Fan looked at An Dongye, smiled slightly, and said with interest: "Tell me, what do I think?" ”

An Dongye nodded, then pointed to the map, and said loudly: "Since Mu Qingchen has chosen to investigate Qinglong Gorge now, there are no more than two ideas, the first is to send troops from Qinglong Gorge; The second is to break my Pingnan from Qinglong Gorge! ”

Qing Yunfei rolled his eyes when he heard An Dongye's words, and then said lazily: "Mr. An, aren't you talking nonsense, what two, what's the difference?" ”

An Dongye smiled slightly, but did not answer, at this moment, a trace of strangeness flashed in Nangong Zhi's eyes, looking at An Dongye's eyes, it was obviously a little different.

At this moment, Liu Fan's brows finally relaxed, he nodded with a smile, first motioned for An Dongye to sit down, then looked at the generals who were full of fog, cleared his throat, and then smiled: "Mr. An's thoughts coincide with mine, for Pingnan, presumably Mu Qingchen knows better than me, so starting from Qinglong Gorge is definitely Mu Qingchen's idea, not the prince of Dali, sending troops to Qinglong Gorge is definitely a miracle, if I don't know, then Pingnan is in danger, but I know, that is his danger." ”

He paused, then looked at Qingyun Fei and said: "What Mr. Fang Cai'an said, in fact, this is the case, it should be imperative to send troops to Qinglong Gorge, but where is the main battlefield, this will make people think deeply!" ”

Saying that, Liu Fa stopped and patted Han Ju's shoulder, and a trace of seriousness flashed in his eyes: "If the Dali scouts are just to seduce Han Ju, let Han Ju mistakenly think that they want to attack from Qinglong Gorge, and our army is ambushed in Qinglong Gorge, and they are in Pingnan City, or ......"

At this moment, the eyes of all the generals in the hall were a little heavier, and the cold move was even more sweaty, and he was also ashamed at this time.

Those who can sit here are not fools, Liu Fa's meaning, they are very clear in their hearts, if the prince of Dali takes Qinglong Gorge as a real breakthrough, it will be fine, but if Dali is just to confuse the public and interfere with the thinking of the generals in Pingnan, in fact, it is still to Pingnan as a breakthrough, it will be extremely dangerous, Liu Fa's words, there is another meaning, that is, Dali did not choose to send troops in Qinglong Gorge, if they feint to attack Qinglong Gorge, the army from other places in Pingnan to exploit loopholes, then Pingnan, It can be regarded as falling into the hands of the prince of Dali.

Hearing Liu Fa's words, the first one to change his face was Han Ju, and the second was An Dongye, he was always conceited, and he really had some goods in his belly, but he really didn't think as much as Liu Fa thought, at this moment, he was also a little ashamed in his heart, and his admiration for Liu Fa was also a little more.

"General, the last general is guilty......"

Han Ju gritted his teeth and stood up, then blushed a little and said half a sentence, but he couldn't say a word.

Liu Fa shook his head, motioned for Han Ju to get up first, and then said in a deep voice: "It's just my guess, it doesn't have to be like this, you get up first!" If what I expected, today is the day of the siege......"

He raised his head and looked into the distance, as if he had broken through the city wall, he had already gone out of Pingnan, and stared straight at Dali's soldiers and horses.

"Gurgle...... Gurgle......"

The sound of horses' hooves is like thunder, the autumn wind is bleak, Dali's soldiers and horses have gradually approached Pingnan, today is cloudy, the weather is very cold, cold some winter taste.

"Report ...... There is a large army haunted, holding the banner of Dali, fifty miles away, and is marching to my Pingnan! ”

Just when Liu Fa was pondering, suddenly a sharp shout sounded, and everyone woke up like a dream, only to see a scout kneeling on one knee, sweating profusely, anxiously reporting the military situation.

"Let's go!"

Liu Fa smiled slightly, waved his big hand, got on the horse, and ran towards Pingnan City, everything was going towards what he thought, maybe Dali would really choose to do it in Qinglong Gorge, at this moment, what he wanted to see was how the son of Dali was delicate and pretentious, and put on a look of not breaking Pingnan and not giving up.

"Woo woo woo ......"

The drums whimpered, the war drums beat, the iron flags stood up, and the war horses neighed.

In the crowd, the Dali army has come to the city, and at the head of the city, Liu Fa stands proudly, and the golden armor is sacred like an inviolable god.

Quiet!

Suddenly, the Dali army under the city stopped, the army slowly separated, and with the sound of horses' hooves, a man in a brocade robe strode out, under his brocade robe, a pair of pitch-black iron armor, looking extraordinarily heroic.

He is Mu Qingchen.

After many years, they met again, but Pingnan had changed hands, Pingnan, which originally belonged to Mu Qingchen, is now the world of Liu Yuan.

"Attack!"

There was no rhetoric, Mu Qingchen just waved a cold iron gun in his hand, pointed to the location of Pingnancheng, and then stopped talking, and the herald quickly passed on Mu Qingchen's order, and in the earth-shattering shouting and killing, the siege began.

The Dali army took the lead in rushing to the city of Pingnan, the cloud ladder hit the city wall, banging, and then, the cloud ladder was erected high, and the Dali soldiers swarmed up, and the heavy wheezing sound was matched with their hideous expressions, like a group of savages.

Liu Fa stood at the head of the city, pulled out his sword with his hand, and on the one hand, he let people continue to release arrows, and on the other hand, he made people smash down the wood and stones, and at the same time, the herald beside him said: "Let Qingyunfei lead the Pingnan defenders to come up to resist the enemy!" ”

"Yes! Checkmate! The herald agreed, and quickly ran to the other side of the gatehouse, waving the command flag to the Liufa soldiers in the city.

After seeing it, Qing Yunfei in the crowd straightened his waist and shouted to the surrounding Pingnan defenders: "Brothers, now it's our turn to go into battle, all copy the guys for me, and follow me to the city to kill the enemy!" ”

"Kill—"

The Dali army had already attacked the city of Pingnan, and the ejection of the heavy stone throwing machine finally stopped, and the two sides launched a more fierce direct conflict. The city defense of Pingnan City is very perfect, rolling wood, rolling stones, fire oil and other things are well prepared, when the Dali army erects the ladder and rushes upward, countless rolling wood and stones fall down, the sound of heavy objects hitting the armor is endless, and the Dali soldiers who climb the ladder fall down from the air like snowflakes.

However, the Liu Var soldiers were not so smooth when throwing the rolling wood and rocks, and the archers of the Dali army had already stood in a long row under the city, and when the Liu Var army smashed the rolling logs and stones into the Dali soldiers, they were also pierced through the chest by arrows from below, or fell on their backs screaming, or fell directly down the city wall. Of course, the Liufa army will not let the enemy army put cold arrows comfortably outside the city, many Liufa soldiers raise their bows and keep firing back, and the archers of the Dali army outside the city often do not even shoot an arrow, they first become the target of the arrow, and they are nailed full of arrows, and fall down in a pool of blood.

On the battlefield, the arrows flew back and forth, the middle arrows in the city and under the city came and went, and the soldiers on both sides were shot down row after row, of course, compared with the Dali army outside the city, the casualties were still much less.

The Dali army fought bravely, and the Dali army behind was gradually advancing to the front, Qingyunfei grabbed a herald and asked him to immediately give the order, so that the stone thrower arranged in the city threw stone bullets outward.

Liu Fa poured all the strength of the city to defend Pingnan City, and it is conceivable that there are many burdens, and there are hundreds of stone throwers hoarded in the city. Heavy weapons like the stone thrower cannot be moved to the city wall, and they cannot be used, so they can only be arranged in the city, and the stone thrower must avoid the blocking of their own city wall when they fire stone projectiles, so the location is far away from the city wall, and because of this, the stone thrower in the city just dodges the blow of the heavy stone thrower of the Dali army.

With Qing Yunfei's order, the Liuhua Army's stone thrower in the city began to start, and dense stone projectiles were thrown out of the city, drawing arcs in the air, flying over the city wall, and then falling into the camp of the Dali army.

Although the stone bullets thrown by the stone throwers of Liu Fajun are not as huge as the stone bullets of the heavy stone throwers, they are enough to kill people, even if it is Mu Qingchen in iron armor, once it is smashed by the stone bullets, it will turn into meat cakes in an instant.

What's more, many of the towers hauled up by the Dali army were hit by stone bullets and several were damaged. The tower is a siege weapon, several times larger than the stone thrower, the whole is trapezoidal, made of hard wood, seven or eight meters high, directly in front and on both sides is a thick wooden shield, which can block enemy arrows, there is a ladder behind it, for climbing, there are two rows of wooden wheels on the bottom, which can be moved, and the top is a platform.

During the siege, the archers stood on the platform of the tower, and could engage in face-to-face fire with the enemies on the wall, and the tower could also be used as a ladder, attaching the tower to the wall, and the soldiers standing on the platform could jump directly onto the wall without effort.

Towers are used for many purposes in siege, and have long been widely used in actual combat in Dali. Liu Fa has not yet used this kind of weapon, and it is quite scary to see Leng Ran seeing the Dali army dragging one behemoth after another to the battlefield.

However, the tower can block the arrows, but it can't stop the impact of the stone projectile, if a stone projectile hits the front wooden shield, it can immediately hit a large hole, if it hits any of the four pillars of the tower, the tower is basically useless.

Fragility is the tower's greatest weakness. Stone bullets, arrows, crossbow arrows, rolling wood, stones, and fire oil are continuously poured out of Pingnan City, and under such a dense attack, the Dali army outside the city wants to successfully climb to the top of the city, which is even more difficult than climbing to the sky. When the fierce battle between the two sides gradually evolved into a stalemate, the thunderbolt of the Dali army was pushed up.

The Thunderbolt is a powerful weapon used to strike the city gates, and the whole car is a sturdy wooden shelf, on which are hung large wooden stakes that can only be held by one or two or three people, like a giant hammer, and the hammer head in front is made of solid iron, inlaid on the wooden stake, and wrapped in a thick layer of iron.

At this moment, the Dali soldiers on both sides of the thunderbolt pulled the rope locks, causing the giant hammer to pull backwards, and then released it in unison, using the inertia of the falling giant hammer to hit the city gate, and so on. As the thunderbolt was successfully pushed to the city gate, the morale of the Dali soldiers was greatly boosted, and hundreds of soldiers raised their shields and gathered on both sides of the thunderbolt to grab the ropes.

At this moment, a commander jumped onto the car, commanded the soldiers on both sides, and shouted, "Pull-"

At the shouts of the commander, dozens of ropes were pulled in unison, and the giant hammer was suspended backwards.

When it reached the limit, the commander waved his arms and shouted, "Let's-"

"Boom!"

The falling giant hammer slammed into the city gate of Pingnan City, the sound was loud, deafening, and the strength was so strong that the city gate made of pure copper was knocked out of a pit, and the entire city wall seemed to tremble, especially the city wall above the city gate, many Liu Fa soldiers involuntarily fell to the ground.

After the first impact, the second and third impacts followed, and in the city, several wooden stakes that held the city gate were shattered, and stone chips continued to fall from the gaps in the border of the city gate, and the originally strong and unusually strong city gate became precarious in an instant.

Qingyun in the city was sweating profusely, and while commanding his subordinates to carry more wooden stakes and hold the city gate, he shouted at the city: "Quickly knock out the enemy's rushing car, the city gate will not be able to bear it!" ”

Qing Yunfei's shout reached the city, and the soldiers of the Liufa soldiers in the city were also anxious, and many soldiers leaned out and released arrows, but for the Dali army with shields, the lethality of the arrows was really limited, not enough to limit the impact of the thunderbolt.

Soon, many Liu Var soldiers jumped on the arrow stacks with rolling logs and stones, aiming at the Dali army below, to smash the rolling logs and stones, but at the same time they threw down the heavy objects, the Liu Var soldiers were also shot by the enemy outside the city, and they fell off the arrow stacks one after another.

The Dali army that pulled the thunderbolt car was killed and injured by falling rocks and rolling logs from time to time, but there were too many Dali troops around, one was injured, one was filled, one died, and two were on top, and the impact of the thunderbolt car continued to continue. Seeing that his own soldiers were overwhelmed by the opponent's arrows, one of the commanders jumped on the arrow stack and shouted at the soldiers behind him: "Give me a stone!" ”

At this moment, Liu Fa also frowned, could it be that Mu Qingchen really wanted to find a breakthrough from Pingnan City, he was a little puzzled.

In the past, when he attacked Pingnan, the army was like locusts, and he broke through Pingnan in one fell swoop with morale, so although the city wall of Pingnan was repaired, it was not very strong, but Liu Fa knew that it was not easy to break the city by relying on these soldiers and horses under Mu Qingchen's command alone.
