Yang Hao raised his eyes and asked awe-inspiringly, "Ziyu sent you here?" ”

Ke Zhen said evilly: "Regardless of the previous suspicions, the festival marshal is still willing to keep Ke, Ke and Humble Jing discussed, this life, will be sold to the festival marshal in the future, how can he be driven by others again?" The fifth prince came to Luzhou, but he was only allowed to enter the secret cave of the back mountain, up and down Luzhou, as far as he could, this is the order of the marshal, how dare his subordinates disobey? When the fifth prince joined our army, his subordinates also immediately reported to the marshal.

Now the subordinates have come down to see the marshal, and they really want to recommend the five sons, that is because along the way, the subordinates have seen the girl and the young son of the fold arguing, quite unique, the family of the family, since childhood, the chest has learned from the non-reckless we can compare, and now I see the marshal facing the dilemma of the city, so I have the heart to share the worries of the marshal, not by anyone. The words of his subordinates can be learned from heaven and earth! ”

Yang Hao hurriedly stood up, stepped forward to support Ke Zhenxi, and said ashamedly: "Yang's siege of the city was blocked, and his anger was depressed, so he was a little anxious, and his words were reckless and rude, and I hope that Brother Ke will not be surprised." ”

Ke Zhen softened his color and said: "The subordinates don't dare, the subordinates just give a word to the marshal, as for whether to ask the fifth prince to help, the marshal has to come up with an idea." ”

Yang Hao nodded, looked over his shoulder, looked at the lights in the camp, and said, "Brother Ke has a golden jade good word, Ben Shuai will go to see her tomorrow." ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw a stream of fire like a dragon, golden drums everywhere sounded in unison, and the shouts of fighting came from afar, Yang Hao frowned and said: "The Yinzhou defenders are attacking the camp again, I attack the city during the day, and he attacks the camp at night, it is really sleepy and tired, there is no time to stop, let's go down the mountain!" ”

When the day dawned, the camp at the corner of the southern city wall was in shambles, some people carried corpses past the side, and some people picked up half an iron pot from the smashed stove, and set it diagonally on the stones, ready to cook. The staghorn trees that had been washed out were being rearranged and reinforced in front of the camp, and the tents that had fallen down were being erected again. The damage caused by last night's attack was not serious, and the defenders of the city did not dare to go out of the city to attack the enemy on a large scale, and the number of people used each time was not large, but since the camp was attacked, the defenders did not dare to take it lightly, and only made a group of men and horses meet the enemy, and the troops slept peacefully, so as not to be taken advantage of by the enemy, so they were exhausted.

If it is light today, it will be their turn to attack again.

Yang Hao patrolled the barracks according to his sword, and just arrived here, a round ball flew from the air, landed not far away, and exploded with a "bang", Xiao Yu's hand was quick, and he quickly stopped in front of Yang Hao, and put down the shield on his back.

"Today, the siege of the city will be suspended, and the catapults and bed crossbows will be mobilized to make a suppressive and uninterrupted attack on the city."

Yang Hao ordered loudly, and said to Xiao Yu, "Go and clean it up." ”

This is a ball of gunpowder launched in the city, at this time gunpowder has been applied to the battlefield, Yang Hao's side has no shortage of skilled craftsmen, and has also made a large number of gunpowder weapons, which can be shot into the city far away with a bed crossbow for counter-suppression.

The gunpowder balls launched in the city are composed of sulfur, flame nitrate, charcoal powder, asphalt, dry paint, bamboo ru, hemp ru, tung oil, small oil, wax, yellow pill and other ingredients, among which sulfur, flame nitrate, charcoal powder, bamboo ru, and marsh are the main raw materials for gunpowder, dry lacquer and yellow dan are burned to produce poisonous gas, and the rest are the adhesive when splashing, which is tightly adhered to when standing on the body and the armor tent, and is very annoying.

Yang Hao was very interested in gunpowder, and once carefully inquired about the production of gunpowder at this time, and found that the black powder at this time had been fully used in warfare, and was developed by skilled craftsmen with a variety of formulas with different functions.

The gunpowder list that is closest to the proportional configuration of the composition of the standard black powder, they also have it, but the purity of the gunpowder at this time is not enough, and the particles produced cannot be uniform in size, and the combustion and explosion effect is not very ideal, only the production of the most explosive gunpowder, the input and output are not proportional at all, in order to make up for the defects, the craftsmen have invented a variety of gunpowder weapons focusing on different attack capabilities after countless tests, and this kind of poison gas bomb is a kind of gunpowder used by the defenders of Yinzhou.

In addition to knowing the relatively standard ratio of the three basic components of black powder, Yang Hao didn't know anything about how to solve the purification of nitrate and sulfur in gunpowder production, and he didn't know how to make gunpowder with uniform particles and full combustion, and even some safety measures in the production process, he didn't know as well as the craftsmen, as a normal ordinary person, he didn't have time to understand the detailed production process of gunpowder in his previous life, especially this kind of black powder that has been eliminated by the times, so he can't make a big leap forward. It can only rely on the craftsmanship and wisdom of the craftsmen at this time.

As soon as Yang Hao gave the order, some soldiers pushed a stone thrower forward from the Chinese army, and at this time, the bed crossbow was also carried out to suppress the fire, and the crossbow arrows and flame balls were fired. In addition to gunpowder, their poison gas bombs also added grass aconite, croton, wolf venom, and arsenic, and when they burned, they made people feel sick, and once the smoke was dense, it was enough to make the population bleed from the nose and lose their combat capability.

There was no wind today, so both sides invariably used gunpowder weapons, and the shooters, masking their faces with wet wipes, fired at the city, which soon became silent and filled with a cloud of poisonous smoke...... When Yang Hao returned to the Chinese army, the sky was already bright, Xiao Yu brought him a basin of water, and went to eat and drink for him, Yang Hao took off his armor, just wanted to wash his face, and suddenly looked at the reflection in the water and did not move.

He stood next to the wooden basin, looked carefully into the water, touched his chin and pondered for a moment, turned around and walked to the couch, and put the armor back on, without Xiao Yu's help, the armor was worn crookedly, Yang Hao walked to the basin and looked at it carefully, then nodded with satisfaction, raised his legs and walked out.

Xiao Yu walked back with the food, and when he saw Yang Hao out of the account, he said strangely: "My lord, where are you going?" ”

Yang Hao said: "I'll go out for a walk." ”

Xiao Yu hurriedly said: "Wait, my lord, I'll ...... with my lord."

Yang Hao smiled: "You eat first, you don't have to accompany Ben Shuai." "Along the way, he has gone...... Ke Zhenwei was in the left camp, Yang Hao went straight into the camp, and then went to Ke Zhenevil's military tent to the left, and did not let anyone report, spared Ke Zhenevil's military tent, and rushed to a felt tent behind his military tent.

In the tent, many square circles were drawn with a sword on the ground, and Zhen Ziyu was dressed as a captain, holding the hilt of the sword in his hand and looking at the intricate graphics on the ground, and there were words in his mouth, and he didn't know what she was talking about. In the corner of the big tent, Zhi Wei was holding a big bowl of food and eating a little bit, not paying attention to what the little aunt was busy with.

Yang Hao coughed outside the tent and said loudly: "Fifth son, can Ben Shuai come in?" ”

"Huh?"

Zhi Weizheng raised his head with a mouthful of rice in his mouth, and said vaguely: "Taiwei Yang? ”

Zhe Ziyu hurriedly erased all the graphics on the ground with his boots, Zhe Wei was looking at her in surprise, Zhe Ziyu rushed to him, looked at an empty bowl on the ground, and said strangely: "Where is my rice?" ”

Zhi Weizheng squeaked and said, "Didn't the little aunt say that she had no appetite?" I...... Fold it into a bowl......"

Zhen Ziyu glared at him angrily, and reprimanded: "Like a pig, you can eat it, take it out, and stain my account." ”

"Whoa, whoa." Zhi Weizheng hurriedly put the empty bowl on the rice bowl, picked it up and left, and when he went out to meet Yang Hao, Zhi Weizheng laughed dryly and said, "Uh...... The little nephew is ...... Ever seen...... Third Uncle ......"

Although the two are about the same age, Yang Hao is his father's sworn brother, and he can call the third uncle, Yang Hao nodded, pointed to the tent, and Zhi Weizheng also nodded, and then shook his head and pouted and walked aside.

Zhen Ziyu wiped the traces on the ground to see that there were no flaws, then he sat on the edge of the bed, took out a small cloth bag from his arms, opened it, and carried a few pieces of delicate snacks, Zhen Ziyu picked up a piece, took a bite lightly, and then said: "Come in." ”

Yang Hao stepped into the big tent, and when he saw her appearance, he said, "Isn't the food delicious?" You're a distinguished guest, so I'll have someone bring you some vegetables alone. Ziyu, I ......"

Excerpt Yu Xingxing's eyes widened, and he said angrily: "I want to beg for a beating, didn't I say that you are not allowed to call my name." ”

"Oh, the fifth son......" Yang Hao was as good as a stream, and immediately changed his words.

Excerpt Ziyu said with a straight face: "Captain Yang is busy with military affairs, why do you have time to come to see me today, but is there anything wrong?" ”

Yang Hao smiled, he didn't regard himself as an outsider at all, he walked over, and sat on the couch next to Zhe Ziyu, Zhe Ziyu was like a spring under his buttocks, jumped up and glared at him angrily, Yang Hao didn't realize it, and said with a smile: "I came, in fact, there is nothing to do, because of the busy military affairs, I have no time to come to visit." Last night, our army was attacked by the enemy, and the camp that was attacked was too close to the camp of the fifth prince, and I really couldn't rest assured, so I came to visit. ”

"That's Captain Lao Yang."

Zhe Ziyu said coldly: "My Zhe clan master and Yang Taiwei have married Jinlan, attack and defend each other, and each other is an ally." Of course, my Fuzhou also has to have an understanding of the military strength of Luzhou, yes, the little woman brought her nephew to the army here, we came this time, only with a pair of eyes, will not interfere with Captain Yang's military aircraft affairs, as for self-protection, as long as Captain Yang's three armies do not collapse, it is expected to be no hindrance, Captain has many important things to do, so there is no need to be distracted. ”

Yang Hao touched his nose and sneered: "Of course I ...... I won't be suspicious of you, I'm just worried about your safety, and now that I'm okay, I'm naturally relieved. ”

Zhen Ziyu glanced at him, seeing that his armor was crooked, and his face was full of dust, he couldn't help but move in his heart, and then looked at him carefully, Yang Hao usually pays attention to appearance, especially after becoming the commander of the three armies, but he is full of dust at the moment, and it seems that he went directly to her from the battlefield, Zhen Ziyu's tone gradually softened, and asked, "Last night...... What about the damage? ”

Yang Hao shook his head and said: "The enemy has repeatedly attacked the camp, all of them are harassment tactics, they run after a while, but they have not caused any major damage, but it is really not easy to chase, the city wall, the city gate, the urn city, the horse face, the crossbow platform, the enemy ......building, the dense shooting net formed by crossing, once my chasing soldiers get close, it will become a living target, and the enemy is eagerly pursued at night, and can not use large equipment to cover the body, alas, it is really a headache." ”

Yang Hao sighed lightly and said heavily: "I thought that I could be at ease in the court, and I was also competent on the battlefield, but when I got here, I realized that there must be no falsehood on the battlefield. How to arrange troops, how to dispatch troops, how to mobilize all armies to do the most perfect cooperation in combat, if accurately and timely seize the fighter plane, this is by no means a little clever can be done, that is from countless predecessors with life to write the strategy of the war, is the battlefield personally experienced countless successes and failures in exchange, I am still too far behind, but my Luzhou soldiers and horses, can not afford such a huge consumption, to wait for me to become a good general with good planning. ”

He smiled bitterly and said, "I'm physically and mentally exhausted now, alas! It was in front of you that I was willing to say these words. ...... out of this door, not to mention, I am now riding a tiger, no matter what, I have to grit my teeth to hold on. ”

He got up and said, "There are too many things at hand, since you are fine, I will be relieved." ”

He walked to the tent, suddenly turned back and instructed: "Go back and move to the back, I will arrange a few fast horses for you, if there is really anything wrong, leave early when you see the opportunity." ”

Zhe Ziyu stared at him, his face was obviously much thinner, there were a few drops of blood on his right cheek, the stubble under his chin was not shaved clean, the sun was reflected on his face, his eyes were full of bloodshots, but there was no lack of concern for her, Zhe Ziyu's heart softened, and blurted out: "Now I know that I can't be the commander of one party?" Which of you, including your generals, is the most serious general? Relying on such a group of rabble, no matter how well equipped the weapons are, how can you give full play to your strengths, and you are still so full of ambition when you swear to be a master. Hum! If I were in command, these people would still be much more clever than you. ”

Yang Hao's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Really?" That...... Can Ziyu help me? ”

Excerpt Ziyu turned his head angrily and said: "This is the soldier personally commanded by your Luzhou Taiwei Yang, what kind of identity am I, how can I help you take charge of the army?" Besides, let a girl's family take charge of the army on your behalf, aren't you afraid of being ridiculed by the heroes of the world? ”

Yang Hao said: "How can it be, since ancient times, women have not allowed their eyebrows, Li Xiuning, the princess of Pingyang of the Tang Dynasty, gathered 70,000 troops as a daughter, Li Yuan has not yet wielded a halberd into the customs, Li Xiuning has first laid a big country for him, at that time several of her brothers have not made an inch, although I have not seen this Tang Qi woman, but I believe that with Ziyu's Wentao martial arts strategy, if it has to be displayed, no matter what, it will not let Li Xiuning be beautiful." ”

Jie Ziyu rolled his eyes angrily, and said in his heart: "Look at the example you cited, the heroes among the daughters of the ancients, like General Pan and Mrs. Xian, they are all heroines who do not let their eyebrows, you cite a Li Xiuning, Li Xiuning helped her father, am I your daughter?" ”

Thinking of this, she suddenly remembered General Pan and Mrs. Xian, who were all husbands who helped them, and she couldn't help but feel hot on her cheeks.

Yang Hao walked up to her and said sincerely: "Ziyu, there were some places that couldn't stand you before, and they were all the sins of Yang Hao alone, but now I share the blessings and woes of Luzhou and Fuzhou, advancing and retreating together, this is a great righteousness, a little personal grudge, let it go." If...... You are still haunted by Yang Hao's past mistakes, so ...... You can slash me three times, as long as you are willing to help me, this is nothing, you are angry! ”

"Who rarely stabbed you three times, I ...... I...... Well? ”

Zhen Ziyu looked at the knife that Yang Hao pulled out and couldn't help but be dumbfounded, the knife was very sharp, very small, it was used to cut meat pieces when eating meat, if you use it to stab people, maybe it can also cause some damage, use it to cut the ......, Zhen Ziyu racked his brains, and couldn't imagine how to cut it with two slender jade fingers on the handle of a knife.

She couldn't help laughing, snorted, quickly held back again, and said coquettishly: "Why are you so scoundrel? ”

Yang Hao said seriously: "If you use a big knife to cut, the injury is serious, I can't hide it, I'm afraid it will hurt the harmony of the Yang family, you can use this knife to vent your anger, seriously, what kind of hatred do we have......"

Excerpt Ziyu said angrily: "Flamboyant tongue, it's not a thing anymore!" ”

She said that, but her gaze softened. She glanced at the ridiculous slashing knife, and said with a straight face: "Send these three knives for the time being, when this girl wants to cut you, you can just pass your head obediently." ”

Yang Hao smiled and said, "Cheng, let's make a decision." ”

Zhen Ziyu felt a lot more comfortable in his heart, and said: "There must be a capable person in Yinzhou City who is good at attacking and defending the city, I have carefully observed in the past few days, carefully figured out his tactics, and have some experience, but I am not sure to defeat him, at most a little bit better than your current chaotic command, it is so strong that it is seven or eight points, as for whether the city can be captured, you don't have too much hope, we still have to wait for the fighter plane to ......."

If you are a little smarter, you ...... seven or eight points stronger?

Yang Hao knew that this little girl was angry with him, and the capital was not going to go, and when he found an opportunity, he always had to ask him for some interest, so he had to smile bitterly: "I naturally understand that as long as we can give full play to our combat power and suppress the arrogance of the defenders in the city, there will be more opportunities to show up." ”

Only then did Zhe Ziyu turn his anger into joy, and said with a smile: "Finally, you Yang Taiwei is interested, okay, I promise to help you, but ...... I won't show my face, Captain Yang wants to worship the general and take charge of the army, so I will recommend another person. ”

"Who?"

"Of course, it's your eldest nephew of Taiwei Yang, the eldest son of my family."

She paused, and said word by word: "Fold, only, right!" ”

Zhi Weizheng took a big bowl of rice and walked in, and said blankly: "Aunt called me?" ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ "If you want to attack and defend first, you can stand firm in the foundation, so that you can advance and retreat freely, otherwise, the soldiers in the city can still rest, you are attacked every night, the camp is on guard, the people are sleepy and the horses are lacking, and the first to be dragged to death is yours." You don't know how to set up camps, and the famous king of the Southern Courtyard, Yelu, is even more good at attacking but not good at defending, and he has never worked hard to set up camp at all. Consult with Jerod and suspend the siege for three days, and I will rearrange it. The defenders of Xicheng withdrew and concentrated on attacking on three sides. ”

"Open the net?"

"Yes, open the net. Three turns around the city, the water is impassable, do you want to force the defenders to resist to the death? On the side of the city, whether it is the defenders or the people in the city, with a glimmer of life, they will no longer be as resolute as they are now, even if they know that it is a plan, their belief in death will be shaken. ”

"This ......, Empress Xiao will never allow King Qing to have another chance to flee west, I'm afraid that Yelu Xianzhen would rather lose his troops and lose his generals, and surround him for a year and a half, rather than ......"

"Let go of Xicheng, it's not like he goes west, hum! Your two brothers-in-law are much closer to you than your two brothers, and you won't fail to ask them for help this time to attack Yinzhou, right? ”

"Well......, well, I'll go and convince King Jerod."

Yang Hao personally rushed to the camp of the Khitans, and discussed with Yelu Xian for a whole morning, Yelu Xianzhen finally took his plan, suspended the siege, let go of Xicheng, gathered the army, and prepared to redeploy the camp according to the method provided by Yang Hao.

Soon, Yang Hao sent someone to send him a detailed plan, relying on long-range attack weapons such as bed crossbows and stone throwers to suppress the firepower of the city, and the army on three sides began to rebuild the camp.

Yang Hao began to build a large number of buildings in front of the camp. A camp is not just a place to rest and sleep, a perfectly designed camp can not only prevent enemy attacks, but can even be used as a barrier for counterattack and defense when the attack fails, a well-built fortification system is difficult to break, just like the Yinzhou City in front of which is not very steep, but it is as strong as a copper wall, Yang Hao and Yelu Xianzhen have a great understanding of this, so they accepted this suggestion without hesitation.

The first trench, nearly seven meters wide, and the second and third trenches five meters wide, are centered with stakes and then diverted water, followed by berms, breastworks and pheasants, and sharpened wooden piles diagonally outward. An arrow tower was built every twenty-five steps on the berm, and between the first two trenches let people cut down a lot of thorns, and between the berm and the first trench, Ke Zhenevil, who was good at trapping traps, was all over many killing traps, saying that the night was coming, even if it was broad daylight, it didn't take a day's effort, and it didn't take a day to eradicate these obstacles under the rain of arrows on the other side, unless there was a passage four feet wide, otherwise the small attacking army would be completely useless, and only a few archers only needed to guard it, and the soldiers in the battalion could rest in peace.

Yang Hao and Yelu sent people to the upper reaches of the moat to cut off the water source, divert the water to flow, although there is living water in the city, but the moat water that is twenty meters wide and more than three meters deep once it dries up, after filling in a number of river sections, all kinds of giant siege equipment can be directly built on the city wall, and at the same time the moat is gone, and it is easy to dig tunnels, of course, the defenders in the city can also dig tunnels to counteract, but digging tunnels does not necessarily have to sneak close to the city, if you want to destroy the city wall, then you have to solve this moat first.

After the regiment was surrounded by three sieges, the siege equipment in the army in the direction of each city wall began to be concentrated, Yang Hao and according to the suggestion of Zhe Ziyu, the siege equipment was further concentrated, a large number of siege equipment was concentrated on a city wall, more than two hundred ladders if they were built on the same city wall at the same time, it was enough to cover this city wall, and countless soldiers and ants attached to it, which largely offset the geographical advantage of the defenders.

Folding bridges, goose cart holes, wooden oxen, attack cars, wooden curtains, dust trucks, and ...... also began to slowly move, according to their functions, re-deployed, assembled, Khitan and Yang Hao's army such a huge move immediately attracted the attention of the defenders in the city, the city stopped firing stones and poisonous smoke balls and other attack weapons, Yang Hao stood on the watchtower erected in the camp more than ten zhang high, you can clearly see that a team of soldiers and horses in the city come and go like soldiers and ants, as if in response to their reaction, is making new deployments.

Yang Hao said vigilantly: "The city has already noticed it, and I don't know what kind of response the city guard general will do." Brother Ke, you go and invite the fifth prince to come, let her take a look at the movements of the enemy army in the city, and see if she can detect anything. ”

"Yes!" Ke Zhenwei agreed, and walked down the wooden ladder, Mu En waited for Ke Zhenwei to leave, angrily pounded the railing of the watchtower, and snorted: "Fold girl...... This transfer and deployment, looking at it as a layman, seems to have a great way, and I am convinced of her ability. Can...... Anyway, this is our Luzhou soldiers and horses, and I recognize it as just the banner of the young master. If the girl readily agrees to help and plans for the young master behind the scenes, I will definitely miss her kindness in Luzhou, but what conditions does she have to offer. ”

Yang Hao didn't think it was annoyed, and smiled: "Ziyu, she ......, hey, when does she care what others think?" How can I take my gratitude to heart in Luzhou? If you have the idea of repaying the favor, it won't be her. ”

Mu En was still not angry, snorted heavily, glared at him, and said: "It's just that she promised to help, but she still wants to bring out her nephew to serve as the nominal military advisor, hey!" Isn't this using our soldiers to raise his prestige? After this battle, if you really win Yinzhou City, I am afraid that the prestige of the Fuzhou family will be even higher than that of the young master, and the subordinates will ...... The more his subordinates thought about it, the more angry they became. ”

Yang Hao smiled and said, "Busy, people helped; affordable, let you occupy; Don't give anyone a little benefit? How can you achieve great things by eating alone like this? ”

Mu En blushed and said thickly: "But the young master still has the great task of recovering Xiazhou, if he can always maintain the supreme glory of the first person in the northwest, there will definitely be more heroes and heroes who come and go." ”

Yang Hao smiled slightly, turned his head to look at the head of Yinzhou City, and said in a low voice: "This city is not only a strategic place, but also a steady stream of soldiers and horses, grain and grass, if we have that ability, we should stand up, sooner or later, what are the urgency?"

In Daze Township, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rose up, but it was the head of a pavilion in Surabaya who sat in the world. Wagangzhai, the eighteenth road anti-king, the thirty-sixth road rebel army, the wind and fire, but the one wearing the dragon robe is Taiyuan Li Yuan. can only stretch, can't bend, and refuse to eat even the slightest loss, can it become a big thing?

But...... After this battle, I realized that although you are loyal, brave and good at fighting, but you are all a hero, it is difficult to be the commander of the three armies, I Luzhou, I really need a general who is well versed in the art of war, and has a strategic mind. ”
