Chapter 103 Qingyang

After talking about the book, Song Yang followed and instructed Liu Hou: "Qingyang can't release the finch, you need to order someone to take the finch away from the city thirty miles away before releasing it." ”

Liu Taishou was stunned when he heard this, can't you release the letter sparrow in Qingyang City? This order of Chang Chūn Hou is a little too strange.

Song Yang explained with a smile: "It's not that you can't let it go, it's that you don't dare to fly even if you release the finch, there are eagles in the sky." As he spoke, Xiao Jiu, who had always been behind his son, walked away a few steps, came to the side of a fierce-looking and ugly-looking barbarian in the Hou Ye's personal entourage, patted the barbarian on the shoulder, and then Xiao Jiu raised his beautiful little finger and pointed to the sky.

The barbarian nodded knowingly, bit a bamboo whistle in his mouth, puffed out his cheeks and blew hard, the sharp bamboo whistle was raised, and a string of loud eagle cries fell and echoed in the sky......

The sky was dark, and Lord Liu didn't know that almost when Song Yang arrived, there was a black giant eagle hovering in the sky above Qingyang; He didn't even know that since the big eagle was in the air, all the finches in Qingyang City had become anxious, and their two wings were tightly clamped around their bodies, even if they were thrown into the air by their masters, they would not spread their wings and fly fast, they would only flutter their wings and fall back to the ground.

Before visiting the Uighurs, Amber in the wilderness sent the Eagle Lord, who brought the Giant Eagle.

The birds of prey from the 100,000 flood famines, not only can be used as messengers, but also have another ability: to deter ordinary birds, under its coverage, no bird dares to fly!

I didn't even find this heavy skill amber, but after the eagle lord settled in Yanziping, the letter manager in the Hou Mansion inadvertently noticed it.

Liu Hou was still worried that Jiān in the city would contact the enemy army and notify the other party of the arrival of reinforcements in Qingyang, but at this moment, after listening to Xiao Jiu's explanation, he knew that Song Yang had already taken this precaution, and immediately nodded with joy.

The Black Eagle simply blocked the communication in the air, Jiān couldn't send the letter out, and Qingyang couldn't communicate with the outside world, so he had to set up a sentry post in the rear outside the city, and Liu Taishou would arrange these things, and Song Yang didn't have to worry about it anymore after only reminding him.

After Liu Hou clarified the matter, Ren Churong, who had just returned to Song Yang's side, said to Taishou again: "There is another thing, the battle on the front line is abrupt, and Chang Chūn Hou was also a little hurried when he came out with his troops from Fengyi, and the report of the expedition went to Phoenix City and has not yet been replied. ”

At least until now, Song Yang is not the 'Marshal of the Expedition to the West' appointed by the imperial court, let alone the 'Inspector of War' appointed by the emperor, although he is a marquis, but according to the wartime laws of Nanli, he has no identity in this big battle, at best, he can only be regarded as a volunteer who spontaneously serves the country, and he has no command power in defense or combat.

No matter how old Liu Hou Taishou was, he could really hear that Ren Chu Rong was just saying a kind word. Who is Song Yang? In terms of prestige, he is the most magical marquis in Nanli, and everywhere he goes, everyone pays attention to him, and he raises his arms and calls for followers to gather; In terms of identity, he is the son-in-law of the Red Bō Mansion, and it is an exaggeration to say that the entire Western Xinjiang is the territory of his father-in-law, not to mention that he did not come by himself this time, he was accompanied by the princess and the county lord, look at the sky-high red smoke not far away, everyone understands that it will not be long before the scattered armies of the Western Xinjiang will gather, and those people are all coming to the Red Bō Mansion and Song Yang; Speaking of strength, the group of demons and monsters brought by Song Yang, if Lord Liu really took them over, he couldn't even command them...... What's more, Song Yang is still followed by an Ananda Golden Horse, Mo said that the old general only lost two tuǐ, even if he has no whole body, only one head left, and when it comes to fighting with the Tubo people, it is much stronger than all the large and small military officials in Qingyang City combined

Liu Taishou hurriedly shook his head, and said beautifully and clearly, he refused to accept this command, and Song Yang must preside over the overall situation, and the whole of Qingyang City only had to obey and cooperate, and there was no other word.

Cheng He smiled, of course he would not shirk, the war is imminent, how long it can last, whether it can survive is still unknown, and now Ren Churong doesn't want to talk nonsense, but if he can really win, Chang Chūn's family will naturally not treat this Liu Taishou, who knows how to advance and retreat.

At this moment, the sky is almost dawn, everyone disperses and takes time to rest, but Liu Taishou still can't take care of sleeping, returns to the Taishou Mansion, finds a brocade, wraps his Taishou seal and the tiger talisman military order together, holds it in his hand and walks out.

Because there will always be official and military affairs to discuss, Lord Sima is also temporarily living in the Taishou Mansion now, and the old man of the Taishou is looking at the actions of the Taishou and said in surprise: "What is this doing, my lord?" ”

Liu Houying said: "The right to command, send it to Chang Chūn Hou." ”

Ge Sima coughed, shook his head and said: "What is the identity of the Hou family of Chang Chūn, how can they accept your Taishou Great Seal, this is obviously to look down on them, not to mention that you gave the seal away, what should you do when you want to mobilize people in the future?" For example, Hou Ye said to you: Please send a thousand people to the city, what should you do? Go to Hou Ye again to borrow the big seal? ”

Liu Hou frowned: "Then what should I do?" ”

Ge Sima said: "Your Excellency signs a military order and sends it to the officials at all levels of the garrison in the city, telling them that when they see the orders of the Marquis of Changchūn, Princess Xuanji, or the lord of Chenghe, they must carry it out as if they were too guarded by the order, otherwise they will be punished by military law." "Nanli has wartime laws, like the current situation in Qingyang City, the power of the city guards will be greatly improved, maybe not to the level of 'arbitrariness', but as Lord Sima said, it is no problem to pass down such an order.

Liu Hou patted his head and said with a smile: "I was confused for a while, I was confused for a while, I didn't even think of such a simple method, thank you Lord Sima for reminding me." ”

The next day, when Song Yang got up, Chu Rong had already come back from a circle, she was in charge of the placement of the feudal army, and she didn't dare to take it lightly, so she only slept for a while and went to inspect. Xiao Yu, who has always been sleepy, gritted his teeth and got up, and when he was having breakfast with Song Yang and the third sister with his eyes closed, Lord Liu came to visit and reported the military order, saying that in Qingyang City, the seal of the Hou Ye is the military order.

Song Yang nodded in thanks, and pulled Taishou, Sima and others to eat breakfast together...... After eating, the group left the post house and went to the top of the city. Ren Churong didn't go to patrol the city, and asked Taishou for the officer in charge of military supplies in the city, and he didn't explain what he did for the time being, so he took people and left......

The city was busy, and the sergeants and laborers together sent a steady stream of rolling logs, stones, fire oil and other preparations for war to the city wall, and placed them in an orderly manner under the command of the soldiers; The craftsmen were also not idle, seizing the last moment, either to fortify the city below, or to repair and inspect long-range ordnance such as ballistas and stone arms at the top of the walls.

Liu Taishou and Ge Sima shook the god of Jīng, followed behind Song Yanghe, and introduced the city as they walked, the Qingyang city wall is two zhang five high, and the base thickness is also two zhang five, according to the weights and measures of the previous life, it is almost eight meters long, and the top of the city wall is five zhang wide, which can be used for three horsemen to calmly parallel; There is an enemy tower every fifty zhang on the city, and the enemy tower is outside the city wall, and the soldier can kill the enemy who climbs the wall with a bow; The four mén are divided into the main building, the arrow tower, and the gate building, and the urn city is square and can be tun hundreds of jīng rui; There is a moat outside the city, two feet wide and two feet deep...... After all, it is one of the largest cities in Western Xinjiang, and Qingyang City is stable and built without sloppiness.

Seeing that Chang Chūn Hou listened with relish, Liu Taishou was more divine, and talked about the city and went to talk about defense, explaining the operation principle, shè process and power of the ballista and catapult arm erected at the head of the city.

I have to say that Liu Hou is not a famous general in Nanli, but at least he is a qualified Taishou, he knows everything about the city defense, and he is serious and meticulous in his introduction, which is his 'professional', and now he is pouring out the inventory in front of the two nobles, which also hides Liu Taishou's idea of selling nòng.

Song Yang and Xiao Yu gained knowledge, so naturally they couldn't help but praise Liu Hou a few words, and Lord Taishou was overjoyed. However, Ge Sima is an old-fashioned xìng son who is one and two is two, and he can say whatever he wants, and he has to pour cold water on everyone: "In terms of the city alone, Qingyang is not much different from Hongkou Town, and when it comes to defense and the effect of resisting the enemy, it is really far away, and there are only two reasons for one internal and one external." ”

Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows: "Please ask Master Sima for advice." ”

The old man hurriedly bowed down, and first hurriedly said, 'Adults dare not be, and even more dare not be', and then turned to the topic: "Hongkou is guarded by mountains and rivers, the environment is dangerous, and the whole city is like a wedge rammed into the gap between heaven and earth, and the enemy can only attack from the front, and there is no way to encircle or bypass it, and the difference in terrain is an external cause; As for the internal cause, it is very simple, Hongkou is the only mén household behind the Kushui border pass, leading to the inland of my Nanli, how important the location is, under many years of operation, the city is not only heavily garrisoned, but also all kinds of ordnance and heavy weapons are sufficient. ”

As he spoke, the old man casually patted a crossbow beside him: "As far as I know, there are hundreds of such huge machine crossbows in Hongkou, but there are less than twenty in my Qingyang City, and there are even fewer slings." Hongkou only had to consider the frontal garrison when defending against the enemy, and all these big guys could only move to the western city wall, and Qi shè was enough to break a fierce attack at a time; Qingyang had to defend on all sides, and on average, only a few big crossbows could be distributed on a city wall, and when the enemy rushed over, he would ...... Not very useful. ”

How many people can an eight-foot giant crossbow kill when it goes out? How many people can be killed if a stone the size of a wellhead is thrown out? A city wall is full of no more than ten such large ordnance, and the effect is really limited.

Ge Sima and Liu Taishou sighed at the same time, the atmosphere was slightly heavy, and the topic changed from their own defense to the enemy's offensive, Liu Hou said: "Since the beginning of the war, the last general has begun to pay attention to the battle report, try his best to collect the news of the battle in front, and roughly understand some of the fighting methods of the Tubo people, two of which cannot be ignored. ”

Song Yang was interested: "Let's hear it." ”

Liu Hou was just about to speak, and the city suddenly became busy, and Xiao Zhumian was happy and said with a smile: "It's here!" Xing Chong rushed to the head of the city to look down, Song Yang also smiled apologetically at Tai Shou, and signaled that he would say something later......

First of all, Zheng Ji personally led the team, leading hundreds of cicada yaksha to the open space behind the city, not by himself, each cicada yaksha brought a monkey, and without the help of laborers, they set up a huge tarpaulin shed by themselves, and followed hundreds of people into it, and no one outside could see what they were going to do;

The cicada Yaksha had just set up a shed here, and not far away, the county lord brought a large number of people and drove a row of carts over. Another open space was selected, a large cauldron was erected, a fire was made to boil water, and bags of yào wood were unloaded from the car and put into the cauldron to boil according to the measurement ratio.

Half of the yào materials come from Fengyi, and the other half comes from Qingyang inventory, and if it is not enough, it is purchased from various yào shops in Qingyang City, and by the way, the doctors who sit in the hall for consultation are also invited. Each of the doctors was given a prescription by the county lord in their hands, and almost every two or three catastrophes had a doctor in charge to ensure that the amount, heat, and ratio of yào could be strictly implemented in accordance with the yào side.

Song Yang pointed to the cloth shed built by the cicada Yaksha, and said to Lord Liu: "They are digging the ground, it may not be useful, be prepared, anyway, the earth monkeys are idle." After speaking, he turned his hand and pointed to the cauldron that the county lord was responsible for: "In refining poison, it will be done by this time tomorrow, and I will smear the blades and feather arrows on the brothers." ”

On the occasion of the war, Song Yang's housekeeping skills of course came in handy, and the poison prescription was prescribed by him, and all the materials used in it were ordinary yào materials, but after being combined and boiled, they would become poisons, and they would take effect when they saw blood.

Due to the limitation of materials, the poison yào is not as domineering as seeing blood seal the throat, but even just injuring the skin can cause severe pain, and if you don't rinse the wound with a lot of water in time, you will be weak and flustered and short of breath after half a pillar of incense. In the midst of a fierce battle, how can there be time for soldiers to deal with minor injuries?

What's more, after a battle is fought, generally speaking, there will definitely be more people who are disabled and seriously injured than those who are killed, and the people who are slightly injured and hung the lottery that do not affect the battle are far more serious injuries. What kind of blow will this move have on the enemy's combat strength, Liu Hou himself is a military general, how can this account not be calculated.

Ge Sima was still 'puzzled', frowned deeply, and hesitated: "Ordnance feeds poison...... It's good, but it's such a taboo thing......"

Although there was no treaty, but the weapon can not be smeared with poison during the war, it is an early consensus in the world of Middle-earth, there was such a precedent in ancient times, A and B went to war, and country A used poison on the blade, and then the defeat attracted the attack of Bingding Wuji and other countries, and finally defeated...... As Old Man Ge said, this is a taboo thing, and it may lead to bad consequences.

Without Song Yang opening his mouth, Liu Taishou couldn't listen to it first, and said: "Pedantic, we don't need to be poisonous, I'm afraid that if we can't wait for all countries to attack, we will be wiped out by Tubo first." ”

The princess also felt that this old man was inexplicable, but she didn't scold, just smiled: "It's okay, let's not admit anything, they don't have a problem with us!" ”

Song Yang laughed at it, and in the middle of the way, all countries attacked in groups? The dog Rong can't fight if he wants to, and the Uighurs won't come to deal with Nanli, except for Tubo, there is only one Dayan left, and now Dayan and Tubo have become one country at all, once the war is unfavorable on the Tubo side, Yan will join the war at any time, Jingtai wants to come to fight Nanli, do you still need to find an excuse?
