Chapter Ninety-Three: Where the Sword Points
"The moth thieves don't attack the city, they don't besiege the city, they don't want to leave, what are they doing?
Wei De took a large group of staff and disciples to climb the city tower, looking at the Baibo army formation outside the city, and he was puzzled.
"Lord, it seems that they are building an altar?" The doorman who answered was also a little unsure, the Baibo army was on an expedition, and Wenxi and Anyi along the road were not captured, and the grain road was actually broken, and now for them, the most important thing is to grab time, and there is really no reason to build any altar here.
"Build an altar, what do you do?" Everyone looked at each other, not knowing why.
"It is said" for a long time, someone continued: "A certain is from Jizhou, when the three brothers of Zhang Jiao raised troops in Jizhou, every time there was a big war, I heard that they also wanted to set up an altar. ”
"Is that really the case?" Chapter 93 Where does the sword point Wei De doesn't believe much, his family is a scholarly family, when the two sons inscribe, they are named after Confucianism and Taoism, Confucianism is respectful of things like chaotic forces and strange gods, where will they believe that there is really any magic?
"There should be no spell to move mountains and reclaim the sea and withdraw beans into soldiers, but that spell still has some effect." The staff member heard the meaning of the master's family, so naturally he would not go against Weide.
"The so-called Yellow Turban Lux of the year became famous with this altar"
"Oh? Please tell me more about Zhao Xianzhi and solve our doubts. ”
The name of the Yellow Turban Lux was also loud for a while, and the momentum of the Yellow Turban Uprising was like a bamboo, especially on the battlefield in Jizhou, it was very majestic for a while, and the officers and soldiers from all walks of life also heard it, but where the specific strength of this army is, then there are different opinions.
It is more commonly said that after Zhang Jiao casts the spell, these wrestlers will become infinitely powerful, covered in steel and iron bones, and invulnerable: there are also sayings similar to Zhang Jiao's withdrawal of beans into soldiers, so the Yellow Turban wrestlers are endless. The credibility of these statements is not high, with the death of Brother Zhang Jiao, the main force of the Yellow Turban Army was wiped out, and no one mentioned it anymore.
"The first statement is relatively in line with the facts, the Yellow Turban Lux is actually Chapter 93 Where is the sword pointing is the relatively strong soldiers among the moth thieves, the usual combat power is not stronger than the ordinary county soldiers, and the equipment is also very poor, and those who have leather armor are already handsome. However, every time the Zhang Jiao brothers ascend the altar, they will turn into a bunch of monsters..............."
"Monsters?"
"Hmm." The Jizhou people looked like they were feeling palpitations: "It is impossible to be invulnerable, slashing and stabbing them will bleed and be injured, but unless they are mortally wounded, they will not fall, but more crazy fighting: even if they are seriously injured and fall to the ground, they will desperately crawl forward until they completely lose their breath......"
"Phew!" Including Wei De, everyone gasped, looked at the barracks altar outside, and then imagined the scene of the Yellow Turban wrestlers fighting frantically.
Although the legend is also terrifying, but the horror is too much, there is not enough "true" reality, and it does not seem so scary. On the contrary, the truth is more terrifying, what soldier can be more terrible than a madman who is not afraid of death or injury?
"Could it be that the white wave thief will also be good?" Weide panicked.
"Don't worry, don't worry, don't say that the moth thieves don't have the ability of Brother Zhang Jiao, even if they do, how can they have the Xiongcheng of my Wei clan? Didn't the Zhang Jiao brothers also suffer setbacks in front of the fortified city back then?
If not, they will not run out of room and will be cornered.
"Brother Zhao is right, the moth thieves in various places will also try to sacrifice on the altar before the war, but I haven't heard of any special effect, it is nothing more than to boost morale. This time, the altar is particularly large, presumably because the moth thief found that he was cornered, so there is no need to worry about it. ”
Everyone was relieved, and Weide's face gradually improved. He turned his head and looked around at the staff behind him, slightly drunk, the Wei family has so many talents, a family fortune of trillions, and it is in troubled times, can it also accumulate thick and thin, a ,...
Just thinking about the proud place, but seeing that one of the staff members frowned deeply, looking worried, Wei De was shocked at the moment, if it was someone else, he might not be moved, but this person was the resourceful Wu Lou Wu Zhongming who offered his plan a few days ago!
Wei De asked nervously, "What did Mr. Wu see?" The moth thief has another cunning plan? ”
Wu Yefeng arched his hand and said in a deep tone: "I can't talk about what I have seen, but Wu does have doubts in his heart." ”
"Sir, why don't you speak up."
Wu Ye didn't shirk, pointed to the altar outside the city and asked, "Lord, gentlemen, don't you think that altar is too big and too far forward?" ”
"Huh? Brother Wu didn't say it, I really didn't notice it, it seems that at a distance of five or six hundred paces, the bow and crossbow just can't shoot. ”
"There's something else in this?"
"Could it be... Is it a plan to repair the plank road and secretly cross Chen Cang? ”
There is no sign that the Wei family has become a prince, but the Hedong Wei clan has long been a fait accompli. Therefore, those who can be regarded as guests by the Wei family, even if they are not celebrities, are also well-known and valued and recommended by celebrities.
It is not an exaggeration to call such a group of people a think tank, I didn't think much about it before, but at this time, I was reminded by Wu Ye, and I quickly came to a similar conclusion.
"Ming Xiu plank road secretly crosses Chen Cang?" Weide's reaction was not so fast, his strength was to accumulate wealth and use people, and he knew nothing about the affairs of the battle array: "What is light and what is dark? ”
"The altar practice is in the light, and it is both true and false: the cave attack is in the dark, nine times out of ten!" Wu Ye said a word.
"Cave attack? Are they digging tunnels? So what to do? ”
"Don't worry, my lord, although I didn't see through the moth thief's cunning in the first time, but I didn't wait for a few days in vain, the arrangements that should have been made have been done, please see, the canal is specially placed for breaking holes."
"The method of attacking the hole, mainly lies in attacking its unpreparedness, Yuncheng is located between the rivers and lakes, there is no shortage of water, only need to lead water into the city, after finding the exit of the tunnel, directly lead the water to irrigate, discipline the moth thief has no return."
There were many guests in the Wei family, but no one was designated to be in charge. It's not that Wei De doesn't want to, it's just that the reputation of these people is about the same, and it's hard to distinguish between the superior and the inferior, and if you just promote one person, it will chill the hearts of others.
This is also a kind of trouble, and there are too many celebrities and gentlemen.
So far, this trend has also reflected benefits.
The arrangement of the city, the crowd of people work together, no matter how big or small, are all in order: there are problems, everyone works together, picks up each other's shortcomings, and perfects the strategy and tactics: coupled with the sense of competition, it is to drive everyone to spare no effort.
There are so many benefits, so why change?
However, Wei De still has some emphasis, and he has offered advice twice, and every time he talks about Wu Ye at the juncture, he attaches great importance to it. He nodded, in response to everyone's relief, and then asked Wu Ye, "Mr. Zhongming, you still seem to have doubts?" ”
"Don't hide it from the lord, I do have doubts at night."
Wu Ye raised his finger and pointed to the altar outside the city, and said in a deep voice: "It is reported that when the moth thief attacked Wen Xi, he also used the method of cave attack, but he was diverted by the defenders in the city and poured water, and returned in vain. The night thought that they would mobilize the people to come, and they would have something to rely on, and the key was in this altar and the method of attacking the cave! ”
Weide asked, "What is the method?" ”
"I don't know at night." Wu Ye shook his head.
"Then, in the opinion of the gentleman, how should it be broken?"
Wu Ye didn't answer, he muttered for a long time, and suddenly raised his head, his eyes flashed, and said, "Send troops!" Tear down the altar! ”
The city fell into a deathly silence all of a sudden, and the next moment, all the staff shook their heads and sighed in unison.
"Sending troops? Is it just for Brother Wu's imagination? ”
"Who can guarantee that the moth thieves are engaged in these mysteries, not to lure the Lou army out, set a trap, and take the opportunity to counterattack and seize the city? This is a big mistake. ”
"There must be a limit to being different, there is a strong city to defend, but you have to go out of the city to fight, isn't this a joke about the safety of the Wei family?"
Wei De didn't agree, but a look of suspicion flashed in his eyes, and the proposal to send troops was indeed not generally unreliable.
"It's not that Wu imagined it out of thin air, Bai Bo came here, he didn't stop all the way, and the soldiers pointed directly at Yuncheng, how could there be no reason? Now that the thief army's food route has been cut off, he is not in a hurry to attack the city, but is busy building altars, and secretly digging tunnels, obviously putting success or failure into this move. It doesn't matter what the enemy wants to do, as long as it is destroyed, the thieves will have only one way to rout, so why not? ”
Wu Ye argued: "What's more, the cave attack may not be static, and it is not feasible to enter the city and sneak attack.
They may have the idea of hollowing out the foundation of the wall, and the method of water irrigation can prevent the enemy from sneaking into the city, but it may not be able to prevent it......"
"Brother Wu Chalou."
The other staff members refused to show weakness, and immediately retorted: "If it is the city wall of an ordinary county town, as long as the moth thief makes up his mind, it is not difficult to hollow out the foundation of the wall, but the thickness of the wall of the city is more than three zhang!" The moth thief is not a real ant, how can he complete such a large project in a short time? ”
"As Brother Zhao said, although the altar of the moth thief is large, it can only hide one or two entrances at most, and with a tunnel, how easy is it to hollow out the foundation of the wall? When they dig under the wall, our army will naturally not sit idly by, release water and smoke, dig in reverse, and kill and wound with armored soldiers, how many restraint methods are required in the military book, why do you have to risk going out of the city? This is not advisable. ”
"In short, no matter how cunning the moth thief is, the wind and rain are bitter, the lord only needs to sit in the middle army, and we will work together, and the city will be as stable as a mountain, not to mention the moth thief, even if it is the rumored Wang Pengju who was lifted to the sky, he can only hold his head under the city and bleed."
"Exactly!"
Wei De was still a little hesitant, but when he heard Wang Yu's name, he rushed up with a sullen breath in his chest, stood up suddenly, waved his arms vigorously, and shouted: "There are Lao Zhujun to inspect the city defense, defend against the enemy for me, and after the big moth thief, my Wei family can not borrow military merits to rise, save no one in the world, and let the child be arrogant!" At that time, De will not forget the kings, and will not live up to the kings! ”
"Yes!" Everyone was overjoyed, and they all got up to answer the order, and their morale suddenly rose!!
