On this day, Yuan Tan did not attack the city again! Speaking of which, although this siege cost him nearly 5,000 soldiers, he did not suffer a loss! His purpose is to test the reality of Juxian County's defense, and to test the will to fight after yesterday's incentive!

As a result, he was very satisfied! The soldier's will to fight is very strong, and he thinks he has tested the city defense of Ju County!

Tian Fan allowed him to rein in the bones of the dead soldiers, which made him very puzzled! However, it's not always a bad thing! If the bones of the dead soldiers have been at the city wall, it will inevitably cause obstacles to the siege in the future, first, the siege equipment is not easy to transport, and second, the soldiers step on the bones of their robes, and the heart will definitely have a feeling of sadness and sadness of the rabbit and the fox, which will affect morale!

After cleaning up the corpse, Yuan Tanjun immediately returned to the camp and did not stop!

In the camp of Yuan Tanjun's army, in the big tent, Yuan Tan was smiling and sitting in the position of the main general! The generals under the rank are somewhat apprehensive! The first battle was ineffective, and they did not complete the task they promised to climb the city wall, and they were afraid of Yuan Tan's punishment in their hearts!

Yuan Tan laughed and said, "The six captains in charge of the siege are out of the ranks today!" ”

The six of them came out of the ranks, glanced at each other apprehensively, quickly knelt down, and said in a loud voice: "The subordinates are unfavorable in the first battle, please punish Lord Shi!" ”

Yuan Tan got up with a smile, turned to several people, helped them up one by one, and patted them on the shoulders cordially, then returned to his position and said loudly: "Wait for the six people to listen to the order!" ”

The six of them were so frightened that they hurriedly knelt down again, but they heard Yuan Tan say: "Today, the six of you led your men to fight, although there was no result, but they played the momentum of our army!" You're all good! Well, where is the main book? ”

The marching master hurriedly got up and said, "The subordinates are here!" ”

Yuan Tan said: "Hehe, good! Give six people a first credit, each of them will be rewarded with 500 gold, 200 brocades, 500 silk silks, and 100,000 copper coins! ”

The six of them were stunned when they heard this, and after they figured out what was going on, they immediately kowtowed and said in a loud voice: "Thank you for the reward!" ”

Yuan Tan held his hands in his hands and said, "Hehe, a few people, please hurry up, you have a lot of credit!" Well, the soldiers under your command will be rewarded with a thousand dollars each, ten catties of meat, and five catties of wine! You and a few other people, today's casualties are not small, take a break for the time being! Hehe, the marching master listened to the order, and spread the reward given to them by the history of this assassin to the whole army, telling the soldiers that as long as they use their lives, there will be a reward! ”

The sluggishness caused by the unfavorable initial battle of the people in the tent immediately disappeared, and one or two with red eyes roared: "Assassin Shi Yingming! ”

Yuan Tan nodded with satisfaction, and then coughed, and everyone immediately put away their elated expressions, with a serious face, sitting upright, waiting for Yuan Tan's order!

Yuan Tan's face also sank, and he said loudly: "Today's battle has made this assassin see one thing clearly!" After a pause, he continued: "The morale of our army is like a rainbow, and the soldiers use their lives!" Haha, that's a great thing! The heart of the soldier is available, the heart of the general is available! Tomorrow, continue the siege! ”

Everyone clasped their fists and shouted, "No! ”

Yuan Tan nodded and shouted loudly, "Where is the marching Sima?" ”

The marching Sima came out of the column and said, "The last general!" ”

"Can the siege ladder be built?"

"Tell Lord Assassin Shi, the siege ladder will take a day to complete!"

Yuan Tan frowned and asked with a little unhappiness: "That means that you won't need it tomorrow?" ”

The marching Sima shrank his neck in fright, swallowed a mouthful of foam with difficulty, and said astringently: "If Lord Thorn Shi is in a hurry to wait for it...... Tomorrow you can have two parts to complete! Well, if you don't sleep tonight, you might be able to complete three parts! ”

Yuan Tan frowned tightly, and after a long time, he said a little dejectedly: "Forget it!" Slow work and careful work, I can't joke with the lives of my soldiers! ”…,

Glancing at the marching Sima, he said, "Can it be made into six the day after tomorrow?" ”

The marching Sima nervously calculated, and said astringently: "Master Thorn Shi, I don't have enough manpower under my command to pick so much wood!" ”

Yuan Tan nodded and said to Jiang Yi: "Old Jiang, you send two thousand soldiers to help him pick some wood!" ”

Before the battle begins, it is customary for the defenders to burn all the trees within a range of ten or even twenty miles around the city! One is to have a clear line of sight, and the other is to create trouble for the besieging side! Many heavy siege equipment, due to its large size and weight, cannot be brought from a distance, and can only be made on the spot after it arrives at the place! If the trees within a radius of twenty miles are burned, then the other party can only look for wood from a distance, which is a great waste of their manpower and material resources!

War is attrition! The more enemies consume, the more comfortable I am, that's all!

Jiang Yiqu clenched his fists and responded!

Yuan Tan groaned slightly, and said to the marching Sima: "Forget it, I'll wait for three days!" You build a few more ladders, and in addition, build a few building cars, and do it earlier! ”

Marching Sima clenched his fists and responded to the order!

As the saying goes, plans can't keep up with the fast changes! Yuan Tan originally planned to wait for three days before attacking the city, and Tian Fan also planned to save his so-called secret weapon "poisonous water" for a critical moment before using it, but a gust of north wind hit, and the two of them had no choice but to change their plans!

That night, the north wind howled!

Tian Fan arranged the night defense, surrounded the city wall with a whole circle of "Nai He Mu", and arranged the soldiers to defend it, and then returned to his residence!

Nahe wood is also a kind of city defense tool that embodies the wisdom of the ancient Chinese! Nahe wood, used to block the enemy from landing the city at night, and also has the role of an alarm to defend the city!

At the position of the battlement of the city wall, two columns are erected, and the top of the column is connected with a horizontal beam with a rotating shaft, that is, a miniature version of the flat pole, one end of the flat pole stretches out of the city, and the other end is on the inside of the city wall. On the two sides of the outer side, hang a rope on the head, the rope is the same length, and tie a crossbar at the end of the rope! There are sharp bamboo thorns everywhere on the horizontal log, and at the same time, put a few three-foot-long ropes on the horizontal log, and tie a small stone at one end of the rope, and tie a tiger and a thorn at the other end, and the weight of the two ends is equal.

Two flat poles on the inner side of the city wall are tied to one large stone each. The weight on both sides of the flat arm is equal, so that the flat arm is balanced!

At night, after the officers and soldiers defending the city fall asleep, if there is an enemy who sneaks up at night, they will scratch their heads very much!

The first thing I encountered was the tiger's fear! This thing belongs to the thorn category, and all thorns, they are thorny! And the tiger is the best of them, the thorn is about two inches long, extremely sharp, and extremely tough! If the enemy soldier reaches out, he will be stabbed! If you use a knife to remove or cut off the tiger thorn, the weight of the two sides of the two flat poles will be unbalanced, the weight of the outer side of the city wall will be reduced, the stone on the inner side of the city wall will fall immediately, and after the inner stone falls, the outer side of the horizontal wood will also fall. At the same time, the sound of the inner stone falling to the ground sounded, and the officers and soldiers defending the city would be awakened immediately! So, the thunder stone went down, and the guy who sneaked up below died tragically!

Because there is nothing to be done, this thing has a name of "Nai He Mu"! After Tian Fan saw it, the only feeling was - worthy of the name! Seeing this thing, he naturally no longer worries about being attacked at night! So, he rushed back to his residence with peace of mind!

When Tian Fan was eating and preparing to sleep, Gao Shun and the others ran over in a hurry!

Pushing the door into the bedroom, Gao Shun panted and shouted, "Boguang, get up and ...... The wind is blowing! ”

Tian Fan was stunned for a moment, he looked at Gao Shun who was panting in confusion, and asked, "The wind is blowing?" Get up, what are you excited about? ”…,

Wei Yan, Hao Zhao and the others didn't care about the difference between up and down, and said hurriedly: "My lord, the wind is blowing!!! ”

Sun Guan and Yin Li also shouted in unison: "Boguang, the wind is rising!!! ”

Tian Fan was completely stunned, why could one or two of them only say one sentence?

Jian Yong's voice rang out, like an extremely cold ice! I only heard him tremble and say: "North wind! If Yuan Xiansi lets out smoke, we will be miserable! ”

Hearing this, Tian Fan was taken aback!

He hurriedly got up and led everyone to the living room!

As soon as he sat down, Wei Yan hurriedly said, "My lord, what should I do?" ”

Tian Fan shook his head, his face was solemn! This is really not easy to do, if Yuan Tan lets out smoke, then the range of the archers will be greatly limited! When the time comes, due to the lack of sight distance caused by smoke, the role that archers should play will be greatly reduced! Inevitably, the number of enemy soldiers who can reach the city walls will increase many times! I'm afraid that at that time, thunder stones, flying hooks, etc., will no longer be able to suppress them!

Headache!

Seeing that Tian Fan didn't have any ideas, everyone couldn't help but feel frustrated! Gao Shun's face changed a few times, and he said in a deep voice: "Since Boguang has no good way, then he can only fight to the death!" ”

Everyone nodded expressionlessly! Fight to the death, if it is a death battle, I'm afraid that it will not be far from the city breaking!

Gao Shun said to Sun Kang in a deep voice: "Botai, tomorrow's battle is bound to be very dangerous!" In the south and east cities, they each left a thousand soldiers to guard, and sent the rest of the rest to the west and north cities! The archers in the west and north cities have been reduced by half, and in addition to a few archers on the tower of the city on each side, only six hundred are enough! In this way, in each city wall, there are about 3,500 soldiers who can participate in melee combat, which should be enough! ”

After a pause, he continued: "However, if Yuan Xiansi fights hard tomorrow, these more than 3,000 people must not be enough!" When the time comes, you'll need reinforcements! ”

Sun Kang nodded without hesitation and said, "Zhengqing, just rest assured, I'll take care of it!" ”

Suddenly, Tian Fan's eyes lit up, and a creepy smile appeared on his face again! Belch...... Wei Yan and Hao Zhao only felt that this smile was too beautiful and reassuring! This is a smile that makes the enemy creepy, not his own people!

Wei Yan and Hao Zhao had been observing him, expecting him to come up with an idea, when they saw each other, the two of them asked in unison, "Mr. Tian, what did you think of?" ”

When Gao Shun and the others heard this, they hurriedly stopped and turned their gaze to Tian Fan!

Tian Fan smiled incomprehensibly, turned his head and asked Jian Yongdao: "Xianhe, you are the governor of Langya, you must be very interested in what Juxian has!" Well, let me ask you, Ju County, is there a big bamboo? ”

Jian Yong was stunned after hearing this! In the blink of an eye, his face showed helplessness, and he shook his head with a smile and said, "Boguang, when is this?" Are you still thinking about setting off firecrackers? ”

Firecrackers are the predecessor of firecrackers, made of bamboo. During the Chinese New Year, throwing firecrackers into the brazier and listening to the sound of the explosion is also quite lively!

Tian Fan rolled his eyes and said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about?" I'm looking for bamboo useful! Tomorrow the city defense will be used! ”

Jian Yong was stunned for a moment, and in a blink of an eye, he said in ecstasy: "Got an idea?" Hahaha! That's great! Well, by the way, Maozhu...... Now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, many merchants should have stored bamboo! I just don't know, did they saw the bamboo into firecrackers! ”

Tian Fan hurriedly said, "Then what are you waiting for?" Let's go, our soldiers will be divided into several roads, and all the bamboos in the city will be requisitioned, and then go to the county government to meet, by the way, Zhongtai, don't go, you are responsible for finding all the craftsmen in the army! Tonight, we're working overtime to build the secret weapon we're going to use tomorrow! Hey, hey, Yuan Xiansi, it's okay if you don't come tomorrow, if you dare to come, keep you scared! ”
