Chapter 691: Simple Catapult
Of course, Xiao Bao was reluctant to take the beast hunters and the border army as bait, although the lives of all the Xuanjun brothers were equally important, but he seemed to have a special preference for these brothers brought back from Yuanyang Mountain!
Sitting down on the chair, Xiaobao waved his hand and said to Feng Lie: "What the Ya Junshi said is right, don't act rashly first, let's think of a way, the army will not move tonight, and recuperate in peace!"
The night before the war was always quiet, and this silence made people feel even more terrifying! It seemed that hidden in the darkness was a fierce beast with a bloody mouth, which would run out at any time when people were not looking, and then bite their heads, and chew and swallow people into their stomachs one by one!
The lights are still on in the big tent of the Chinese army, Xiaobao and several generals have not slept, the war will start tomorrow, how to fight this battle well, try to reduce the casualties of the Xuan army, is something that everyone is thinking about!
The map sent by the beggar brothers was spread out on the table, and Ya Wubian stared at it for a long time without blinking, and from time to time he lit something on it, and there were words in his mouth, but as long as he didn't greet him, everyone wouldn't bother him.
Compared with Shi Wuce, Ya Wubian's tactical strategy is much inferior, this is not to say that he is not as smart as Shi Wuce, but he is just a disciple of the Jianghu sect, not like Shi Wuce, he belongs to the children of soldiers, and he has been exposed to fighting since he was a child, so he is very familiar with the formation of troops!
He also knew that this time it was Shi Wuce who deliberately exercised his ability, so he also cherished this opportunity and wanted to fight this battle well, so he had to be cautious and exchange the smallest casualties for the greatest victory!
"Emperor, generals, I have thought of a siege plan, let's discuss it!" Shi Wuce suddenly straightened up and greeted Xiao Bao and the others.
Everyone had been waiting for a long time, and they all gathered around one by one, and the dragon horns rubbed their hands together and said, "What kind of strategy? How to fight?
Ao Yi laughed and said, "Why should General Long be anxious, and listen to the military advisor slowly, he won't start fighting tonight anyway!"
Ya Wubian clapped his hands and said to the crowd: "My plan is very simple, since the enemy will use trebuchets against us, we will return the way of the other!
"It's... It's a little unrealistic, isn't it?" As soon as he heard that the military advisor's strategy was to use trebuchets to respond to the other party, Mancang was a little disappointed, looked at Ya Wubian and said: "The military advisor doesn't know, our Xuanjun only has two catapults, even if we are in a hurry to do it, at most we can make three cranes a day, what can we do with others?"
Everyone nodded together, this is a fact, the battle is only ten days at most, the march alone has been a day and a night, and today there is no fighting, it has been delayed for two days, then use a lot of time to make a catapult, and the ten-day deadline will pass in a flash!
Even if the number is considerable, if you want to use catapults to attack each other, everyone's casualties will not be less, and the gains will outweigh the losses!
Ya Wubian smiled slightly, shook his head and said to Man Cang: "General Man, don't worry, listen to Wubian's words! Actually, catapults are not that complicated, we don't need to be as strong and flexible as the two we have now, we just need to throw the stones far away! And here we are..."
Following his fingers, everyone looked down at the map, only to find that he was referring to Paektu Mountain! That place, almost intersecting with Tuwan City, according to the scale on the map, the foot of the mountain and the north gate of Tuwan City were about ten miles away.
"We set up a large number of improvised catapults on Mount Paektu, use the height of the mountain to drive stones into Tuwan City, and destroy their city walls and city defense equipment! Then turn the Chinese army into the vanguard, shrink from both sides to the middle, break into Tuwan City from here, and attack the north gate on the flank!"
Everyone looked at the map without blinking, and one by one they even stopped breathing, and their minds were quickly imagining the feasibility of this plan, and I have to say, it was invulnerable!
This is equivalent to bypassing the traps laid by the enemy outside the city, and condescendingly covering the enemy's defenses in the city, which is the most effective means of attack for the Xuan army, and for the Tuwan defenders, it is simply a catastrophe!
Xiaobao didn't speak, just looked at the boundless end encouragingly. Since he is now a military advisor, then give him enough rights to deploy the whole army! This is to give him confidence, and confidence is a prerequisite for a person to realize his potential!
"General Wind!" Ya Wubian shouted as he watched Feng Lie.
Feng Lie hurriedly faced Ya Wubian and arched his hands: "The end will be!"
Ya Wubian said in a deep voice: "General Feng has to work hard tonight, lead 50,000 troops up the mountain overnight, and set up catapults on Baitou Mountain, the more the better! My requirements are simple and effective! The animal skins or wrappings that are needed, if the armament is not available, use tents, and everything is mainly for fighting!"
Feng Lie hesitated for a moment, he understood the meaning of boundlessness, for the beast hunters, making this simple catapult is a very simple thing, as long as the two sides are fixed, a crossbar is placed in the middle, and the bottom is a vertical rod tied with a cloth, and the vertical pole below is pressed down by manpower, or pulled up with a rope, as long as the cocked end hits the crossbar, the stone in the cloth will be bounced out!
It's easy to make, but there's a problem, if their Orc-Hunters are tasked with making this tonight, they won't be able to act as a vanguard after the fight starts tomorrow!
However, since the military advisor has given the order, it means that his men are more useful in this regard than charging into battle! He can only obey unconditionally! "Yes!" Feng Lie bowed his hand.
Xiaobao smiled slightly, looked at Feng Lie and said, "Don't worry, I'll go up with you and see if you can cast the enchantment!" When you set off, you must remind your brothers that no one drinks some spirits, wear thicker clothes, and it is best to take everything you can to keep out the cold, because it will be very cold on it!"
People who have never climbed Mt. Paekdu at night cannot imagine this kind of unbelievable weather! Xiaobao has experienced it, so he has experience.
As soon as he heard that Emperor Zun was also following, Feng Lie grinned. No matter how tired you will be tonight, as long as the emperor is there, you can let the brothers sleep comfortably and make up for all their spirits!
Ya Wubian turned to look at Wen Chengdui and said, "General Wen, you immediately lead 10,000 people to light torches outside the camp, one by one, in five steps, change them at any time, and the torches will not be extinguished until the sky is light!"
Wen Cheng Du arched his hand and responded: "Yes!" Ao Yi next to him smiled slightly, looked at Ya Wubian and said, "Is the military advisor trying to use the whole army camp fire to cover up the movement on the mountain?"
"That's right!" Ya Wubian nodded and said, "I want Yin Jun to know how many people they are facing, so that they can't even sleep and close their eyes steadily!"
This night is very sweet for the main force of the Xuan Army, because they have all been able to train, the more the big battle is coming, the more careful sleep must be, only by sleeping well, can they survive, this is the truth that has been confirmed after countless battles!
Compared with the Xuan Army, the Tuwan defenders simply suffered a great crime, and every move of the Xuan Camp in the distance frightened them! Looking at the long torches with no end in sight, even on the top of Baitou Mountain, there was a kind of desperate horror on the faces of all the defenders!
On Baektu Mountain, 50,000 Xuan soldiers, under the command of Feng Lie, began to cut down trees and move stones, and rushed to build catapults. Starting at a height of fifty zhang from the foot of the mountain, it is a waste of resources if it is too low, and it can't even hit the city wall!
Xiao Bao stood on the top of the mountain, the wind and snow fell, closed his eyes, and felt the aura tilting down from the sky, and most of it was sucked away by the cave, but it doesn't matter, Xiao Bao's current cultivation has entered the realm of the spirit god, and he can absorb the aura between heaven and earth all the time, and keep the aura in his body full at all times, so it is already easy to arrange the enchantment!
Now what Xiaobao wants to overcome is to constantly enlarge the enchantment to reach the point of doing whatever he wants, setting it wherever he wants, and accommodating as many people as he wants!
With both hands stretched out, as if pulling a rope in the air, Xiaobao pulled a stream of aura over and poured it on the time enchantment he had just arranged.
With the help of this aura, Xiao Bao tried to expand the enchantment, and slowly included all of this mountain wall! And with the expansion of the enchantment, the corners of Xiao Bao's mouth also showed a smile full of confidence, cultivation is improved in practice, many things, only by doing it with your own hands, do you know that the things that you didn't dare to imagine are actually very simple!
Now, the front south slope of Baektu Mountain has been set up by Xiaobao Time Enchantment, which is not very long, one hour is equivalent to four hours inside, which is the limit that Xiao Bao can achieve after trying to set the time enchantment to such a large range for the first time. It takes time to improve, but for tonight, it's enough!
After arranging all this, Xiaobao walked out of the enchantment, he didn't need to stay here, he wanted to take advantage of the night to go into the city to have a look!
Even if there is the help of the beggar brothers, it is not as detailed as what I have seen with my own eyes! I shouted the red rainbow and the clouds, jumped high over the city wall, and was thinking about finding a place to stay, but I saw that outside the far north city wall, there were several black shadows, desperately running in the direction of Xuanying!
Who are these people? Judging by their appearance, they must have just been taken out of the city! Could it be the beggar brothers? Why are they out of the city so late?
Xiaobao hurriedly urged the red rainbow to fly over, and from above, it was indeed the beggar brothers, there were three of them, covered in dirt, drenched as if they had just been fished out of the water, and on the shoulders of the person in front of him, he was carrying a big sack!
Suddenly, countless torches lit up on the city wall, and the soldiers who were still napping tiredly just now were woken up by a group of men, pointing to the three beggar brothers who had already run away and shouting: "There they are!
The two beggars in the back approached, blocking the man in front of him with their backs and pushing the man in front of him to the ground!
Xiaobao slapped Chihong Liuyun's neck, rushed down, suddenly appeared in the crowd, and kicked the archers with joy, and when everyone panicked, they rose into the air and flew to the side of the beggar disciples!
At this moment, the two beggar disciples were dead, and the person carrying the sack was also hit by an arrow in the back, but he puffed up his breath and ran wildly with the sack, using his body to try to block all the arrows and not let the sack be hit by an arrow!
