The night outside the city was dark and quiet.

Less than five hundred meters from the county seat of Pingcheng, an army stood silently, without lighting any lights, just waiting, and it looked like it was ready to continue waiting.

As far as their eyes could see, there stood a city that was not tall but actually stood in front of them, and there were no lights flickering on the top of the city, but it was bright enough to make it the focus of the whole night.

These are the troops of the Xianbei people, the group of Xianbei troops from the northern grasslands who made the defense system arranged by Li Shushi like paper paste, and made the border people in the north look frightened.

Although these northern residents could not be said to have been completely calm in the north even in the past few years under Li Shushi's rule, and had often been harassed by raids from the north in the past, there was never a time when they brought such great fear to these long-tested border residents -- in fact, anyone would feel this way when they saw a group of "madmen" who were not afraid of death and were rushing forward.

Before there is a fundamental gap in weapons, such an indomitable army that has truly put life and death aside does seem invincible, because even a group of gangsters know that in their dictionary, the most powerful kind is called "don't die".

However, the Xianbei army, which had shown an almost frantic fighting style in the previous battle, stopped outside the city, and did not choose to attack in the first place, nor did they choose to leave the march towards the hinterland of Yanmen - even if it was only to mobilize the enemy's troops, they did not do so. Just waiting, waiting for news from nowhere.

On closer inspection, they were quite different from the usual Xianbei troops - most of them did not ride on war horses, or they did not have war horses to ride in the first place, just like the infantry of the Han Chinese, standing on the ground and withstanding the cold wind of the night, but they were as motionless as a group of javelins stuck in the ground, and from a distance it even made people suspect that this was a bush.

Of course, it can't be said that there are no Xianbei cavalry in this team, but they definitely can't occupy too much of the team in terms of numbers. And it seems that the Xianbei cavalry is not only gathered together. It is not as scattered among the infantry as the commanders, and it even seems that there is a clear "gap" between the cavalry and the infantry phalanx, which is far from being compared with the infantry phalanx, as if it were two armies, or that one side instinctively harbors fear of the other.

All in all. This army stood outside the city of Pingcheng County. No matter how you look at it, it has a strange atmosphere.

"What do you think is the chance of that plan?"

In the heart of this team that feels weird no matter how you look at it. The two men in the circle and embrace of a group of cavalry made people feel extraordinary just on the surface, not only because they were the only group of people riding horses in the infantry phalanx, but also because the faces of the two generals who were dressed in Xiongnu aristocratic costumes and suspected of being Huns had a faint black aura on their faces.

All right. It is impossible to observe this in this dark night, after all, this humble army has no desire to shine even a light source, they are like fierce beasts that hide outside the city and are accustomed to coming out of the day and night, except for the eyes that shine, you have no way of knowing what kind of explosive muscles and terrible minions they have.

"I don't know, I don't know about you, I'm just a 'thing' that you're imprisoned, so I can't know the outcome."

"I've heard that a good hunter has a keen intuition about the future, and in fact you can be a good hunter just as well, so I value your feelings, which are often better than your mind to see through the traps behind the fog."

“…… If it were me, I would definitely not consider such a stupid mention yì. The reason why the Han people were able to assassinate the leaders of the Xiongnu or Xianbei people was either because the two sides had intimate exchanges before, or there were traitors who were confused by the smell of copper and became accomplices of the enemy. Your people have a power that is completely incomprehensible, but you have no understanding of your opponents. ”

"But you should also know that several of the most famous generals of the opponent you said we didn't know about had been turned into ruins under our arrangement, and we had no such concerns at all, and this is a gap that will be difficult to bridge."

"Well, you don't tell me all the lies we all know anymore. Otherwise, you wouldn't have asked for my opinion at such a time. Maybe the survivors are lying and you can try to attack, because even if the man narrowly escaped the assassination you arranged, he would be surrounded by nothing more than a pile of cripples, and at best a bluff. ”

“…… Don't you think it's funny for both of us to be uncooperative? ”

"No, I think I'm just talking about things, I've given you the answers to all the questions you want to ask, and the rest is just a giveaway. The man seemed to like this very much, and his shop used to do it a lot, and when I was a student, I didn't run around for those expensive and scary extracurricular books to be able to have more money left, but I have to say, even though I am like this now, I still miss the taste of those days, which is very good. ”

"Well, I'm not going to have such a pointless quarrel with you. Now you tell me how the other side will react if our action fails, such as the wise man named Jia Xu, you should know more about the methods of that wise man. ”

"Reaction? I don't know why you could have solved this problem in an easier way......"

"Boy, stop talking to me about that extra nonsense! You just have to tell me what they're going to do, I don't need a 'giveaway'! As if he had had lost his patience, the more mature Hun finally interrupted his companion's words in an angry voice.

"Stalling for time, waiting for the assembly of troops inside the city and the arrival of reinforcements from outside the city." This time, the answer was more concise and to the point.

"Good. I just like your answer, I don't want to hear any more nonsense. You can resist our existence from the bottom of your heart, but you also have to remember that we are not something you can resist. In addition, I am sure that you will not want to know what kind of means we will take to make you obedient to uncooperative people like you, who are always unwilling to recognize what is in front of you. ”

It was not as if such a threat had been uttered for the first time, as neither the person who said it nor the listener seemed to care much about it, or that the younger fellow had far more value than the threat.

Anyway, after saying these words as usual, the older fellow called in the subordinates who were gathered around him, and it seemed that he was planning to arrange something. Maybe it's preparing to encircle the point and send reinforcements? After all, the steppe people are very good at this kind of thing.

It's a pity what happened outside the walls. But the people on the walls knew nothing.

However, despite the help of the firelight, the enemies outside the city were equally ignorant of what happened on the city.

In fact, if they can predict the future. Now those commanders will definitely bet on a qiē siege. Because......

"Roar ~ Wenhe. Bet you don't want to be surprised by my masterpiece this time. ”

"The lord has given enough 'surprises' to Xu, so even if he comes up with anything, it won't surprise Xu even more. No. If possible, you may be very surprised when the lord takes over the 'wordless book of heaven' that you treasure. ”

Well, for Jia Xu's strong acid and not rotten, strong alkali and stainless steel, thicker than the face of the city wall, Li Shushi knows that he is just a mortal, and he probably won't be able to see the day when he is broken by himself, so instead of fighting with the old fox, Li Shushi feels that it is still interesting to appreciate the enemies outside the city being destroyed by himself - although he is not a tough creature like Shake S, he also wants to rise up a few times.

In fact, although it is also a trebuchet, other trebuchets must fire live ammunition if they want to get the most attack effect, because then they can get enough kinetic energy through the huge mass of guò to provide maximum damage to the target - the cost of this is obvious, unless it is a relatively dense army, this thing can only cause very serious damage to a single body. And if the target is a person or even a team, then you can only expect the target to have a last resort to dodge the cannonball that can hit the target after a long trajectory, in fact, in many cases, you don't even need to deliberately dodge, and rushing forward with your head down is the best way to dodge.

On the contrary, if the Golden Cannons want to cause the most damage, the best shells are small stones of a certain size - which can have enough quality to obtain enough kinetic energy, and at the same time, it can also exert the almost miraculous power of the Golden Cannon, so that the hot, liquid metal that came out of nowhere has more surface area to adhere to.

Therefore, when Li Shushi took out spherical objects the size of a human head from the bean bag, everyone felt that it was a bit of a waste of the use value of the golden fire pot cannon to launch this thing.

Of course, no one will say this kind of thing, after all, Li Shushi and Su Xiaololi, the murderous husband and wife "inventors", have brought enough horror to everyone, so in this state that even if it is a real failure, no one will care about such a "small thing", not to mention that many people know that there is a hidden valley outside Jinyang City that thunders every day.

While leisurely directing his guards to make the final adjustments to the Golden Fire Cannon, he took out a handful of fried beans from the bean bag...... Then he pulled out another handful of fried beans...... Take out another handful of fried beans...... He also took out a handful of fried beans......

"Hey! I said that you guys are endless, and your lord can't eat yet! Sure enough, as a great man said, 'If you want to eat a handful of fried beans, you have to have a bag of fried beans.'" ”

Of course, Li Shushi knows that the original words are to describe milk powder, but in this era of this plane, if you want to explain to the group of people around you what "milk powder" is, this difficulty is estimated to be either "hell" or "nightmare", and then it is "ultimate", which belongs to the kind of ten-star and almost impossible to complete the level, anyway, it is not a mortal like Li Shushi who can challenge.

"Yes, yes. However, if you are honest in other aspects, you can only be regarded as average at best, and we all have to bow down to you when it comes to eating alone, so even your 'snacks' are so delicious. ”

Xiaoqiang's income is so reasonable, it makes Li Shushi feel speechless.

As a result, everyone except Xiaoqiang was given two handfuls of fried beans for a supper before the start of work.

As for our little strong children's shoes, they wiped a handful of sad tears and ran to the side to drink the northwest wind.

Unconsciously, the bean bag has been restored from a single functional product that can only be filled with beans. It has become exactly like the Sumeru mustard seed that can be loaded with heaven and earth in the legend. Although it will not be worn on his body from time to time, it will also be placed on Dian Wei's body, and anything can be thrown into it, and then found from it when needed. As long as you don't forget the appearance of something. Basically, it's much easier to find something in a bean bag than in a Sumeru mustard seed - after all, it's a home-made treasure. Be the friendliest to yourself.

Speaking of which, I have to thank Su Xiaololi again for her strong support, if it weren't for her in-depth understanding of the characteristics of bean bags, Li Shushi really didn't know how to wait until the Year of the Monkey to get the advanced function of bean bags so quickly. The earth is desolate.

Naturally, many dangerous goods are also packed in bean bags, after all, no matter what happens outside that strange space, it will not affect the stability of the space, so whether it is to put freshly baked dishes or various dangerous goods inside, it is guaranteed that there is no problem - but if you don't pay attention to the dishes, maybe the plate will be upside down in your hand when you take it out, in that case......

Li Shushi won't tell you anyway that a certain Lori was once cheated by him like this.

Of course, the consequence of that is that Su Xiaololi, who laughs dangerously, makes Li Shushi go on a cooking training journey that is said to be more difficult than hell - in other words, I don't know if Cao Ling's unspeakable experience at the beginning is similar to his experience, but looking at Cao Ling's willing appearance, it should probably be not as difficult as himself.

In this way, after some quasi-preparation, it was finally time to give the enemy a hard blow.

In the first test firing, in line with the principle of not wasting it, Li Shushi was only ready to fire one shell.

Of course, there is one more preparation to be done before the test gun, and that is to find the specific location of the enemy.

So, Tianhuo, go!

"Use a strategy you've never seen before? It shouldn't have much effect on you. ”

"Humph! Not 'you', it's 'us', and I hope you remember that! ”

The power of Skyfire has indeed increased, but correspondingly, it takes a little time to go from brewing to forming an attack, even if the gap is not a spell or other preparation like the magician needs to cast a spell, or simply a reading note, and the coverage of this strategy spell is large enough that most enemies in the core area of the attack cannot escape its effective attack range, but the slowly forming appearance will still give the enemy enough warning - unless the enemy is asleep.

But the Hu generals, who were accustomed to the various tactics of the Han people, did not take this kind of thing to heart at all.

They knew very well that there were not enough civil officials in Heicheng who could deal a fatal blow to them, so even if this spell seemed to be powerful, the actual damage it could do was very limited, and even for an army of more than 10,000 people, it was not an exaggeration to consider it a negligible loss.

For them, such an attack is the same reason that Li Shushi used this strategy spell - it can only be used as a flare.

Even if the flare looks louder and more lethal than a normal flare, it still can't change the fact that it is still the fundamental property of the flare.

Therefore, as far as war is concerned, once the number reaches a certain level, there is basically no room for courage in many excellent small means, and this is why we must treat guerrilla warfare and movement warfare differently as two modes of warfare.

"Yo~ There are really a lot of people, and it's my favorite dense formation~"

Just as Makqin liked the Cossack cavalry of the echelon charge the most, what the artillery liked the most was naturally the phalanx!

Whether it's the kind of solid cannonball that likes to roll on the ground, or the kind of bomb that blooms on the ground. The Phalanx is capable of providing maximum damage to artillery shells - both in theory and in practice. Although such a formation may be a nightmare for cavalry, for artillery, or even for the rather historical trebuchets and bed crossbows, the Phalanx is also a good formation for the record.

As long as the operator does not suffer from such a situation as "dense phobia", no matter how you look at it, you can only stay away from the existence of war - whether you live or die, you can boast after the war: Lao Tzu has sent hundreds of enemies to heaven in this battle, who is ruthless with me!

Well, how can such a shout sound a bit of some unlucky guy's "who dares to kill me" roar, it's really unlucky.

"If you're all ready, test fire for the first time, fire!"

At this time, shouldn't you shout "fire" to make it more imposing? It's like all the little pot friends who play gunplay games will have a feeling of subconsciously looking for the root of the wall when they hear the famous phrase "fire-in-the-hole"?

All in all. That period of high school and college life has become a past that is almost completely forgotten even by reminiscing, but some fragments can still be vaguely remembered by Li Shushi now, and they are things that he will probably never forget.

Well, nothing can be called eternal. These include those precious metals and new lattice structures formed under high temperature and pressure.

Li Shushi was thinking nonsense here. The first cannonball had already been fired from the Golden Flask—an attack that was not a surprise to the Xianbei people. Except that they couldn't figure out how Li Shushi brought this kind of thing from distant Jinyang to Pingcheng, the intelligence did not say that Li Shushi and his party also brought a big guy.

However, for the power of the Golden Fire Cannon, although the Xianbei people also feel a headache. After all, even if you can't die, it is extremely painful to be burned by those liquid metals with extremely high temperatures, and it is not an exaggeration to say that life is better than death.

In fact, Li Shushi has always felt that this is the most terrifying part of the golden fire cannon-who can watch his comrades-in-arms around him wail and roll around themselves, but they can't help, and in the end they can only watch their good friends who suffered and frolicked together in the past die in the resentment of the desire for life and death, leaving only a corpse that can't see its true face clearly.

Morale Strike Effect MAX Yo~!

Meanwhile......

"Don't, don't keep me away from my beloved dissecting table, don't keep me away from my beloved workshop hut, you're all a bunch of !!"

"Boom!" So the world was finally quiet.

"Really, you're getting weirder and weirder, you used to take the initiative to come to me to share such fun things, but now you secretly hide and 'enjoy' by yourself, hum~ Do you know how sad I feel as a sister?"

While gently covering her pale but round lips with her hands, she braided Su Xiao Lori's beautiful black long straight hair into various interesting hairstyles, although it was only one hand, but it didn't seem to have any effect on the action, almost in the blink of an eye, a new or funny or bad hairstyle appeared on the top of Su Xiao Lori's head, and then changed into a new shape in the next moment.

For this terrible situation, Su Xiaololi can only deal with it in silence in addition to silence, she can't resist the "violent suppression" of a certain royal sister at all, not to mention that her body has been "tied up" by a certain royal sister with some unknown material.

As for the assassin who originally tied up and planned to give Li Shushi a "second blow", he was being watched by a young girl and two little lollipops biting lollipops at this time.

Although they did not carry out all kinds of inhumane dismantling work with various surgical equipment and even sharp fire axes like those mad scientists, they also chatted and discussed, and even poked the assassin who was still unconscious with their fingers from time to time, and then showed expressions such as "so powerful".

However, probably because they were worried that the force they used was too large, the extremely fragile body of the guide was irreversibly damaged and dismembered, and their movements seemed to be very careful, as if they were dealing with some delicate and fragile treasure.

For such a few cute goods that look more like they are selling cuteness, even if it is Su Xiaololi, the expression on her face at this time has become very cruel.

Although any of the people who can be alive and kicking here are better than her, for some things, it should really be done by professionals!
