Yaqing used to be very reluctant to Lu Yingfang, her mother-in-law, but now she saw her coming in a hurry, without pretending to others, and taking care of Wanling in person. My impression of my grandmother has changed.

"Wanling, you drink the porridge first, your mother is rested, she must be very happy to see that you are in good spirits." Yaqing comforted Wan Ling.

Wan Ling looked around, and was a little disappointed that she didn't see Qian.

Yaqing had no choice but to say honestly: "The second sister-in-law heard that you were missing, and she fainted directly, and she couldn't catch up!" You get well quickly, and you can go back to Pingyang Mansion. ”

Wanling's nose twitched, and the tears in her eyes were about to fall.

Yaqing hurriedly changed the topic: "By the way, the hero who saved you last night has already gone to the barracks, and my mother said that I will personally thank you when the time comes!" ”

Wan Ling looked up at Yaqing and saw Yaqing's eyebrows fluttering: "His name is Qiu Ming, I just went to the front hall to see it, he shaved his beard...... The aunt in the kitchen said, obediently, where did you come from such a handsome military master! Haha......"

The mother-in-law, who was feeding Wanling porridge, was a little puzzled, and she glanced at Yaqing again. This little girl is the daughter of the old lady of the Lan family, I heard that the Lan family used to be powerful, why did this girl teach like this?

Lying on the bed, the little face with fair skin and a big palm looked soft and weak. At first glance, she is a girl raised by a big family.

Standing and talking, he looked like he was eleven or twelve years old, tall, dark-skinned, dancing between words, and said that the military master was handsome, she didn't think it was wrong.

Xu felt that her mother-in-law's vision was wrong, and Yaqing's face was pulled down. As soon as the mother-in-law left, Yaqing's words unfolded again: "I heard that the Hui people are going to attack again." ”

Wanling's little face turned white and trembled with fright.

Yaqing comforted: "Don't be afraid! Now General Song has made something called cement, which is very strong! ”

Lu Yingfang met the legendary General Song Guan in Lord Wang's courtyard, not too tall, forty or fifty years old, tanned, with a Chinese face, eyes and eyes, and saluted with fists when they met: "In Xia Song Pass, I first thanked Mrs. Lan for the people of Youzhou City." With that, he bowed.

Even if the title of the Hou Mansion was not lost, Lu Yingfang, who was the second lady, would not receive this full gift. She immediately stepped forward and bowed: "General Song, this is tormenting the old woman." ”

Seeing this, Governor Wang hurriedly said attentively: "General Song, please take a seat, and the old lady, please take a seat." ”

In the living room, all the subordinates were dismissed, and only the three of them were there.

Song Guan sighed and said, "This time, thanks to the old lady's news, we can close these fine works." "Although some of the details have been within their monitoring range, but because they don't dare to startle the snake, they have also worked very hard to follow, and they have not been able to find the final big head.

Lu Yingfang: "This is God bless Tai'an, but is it true that this time the siege of the city is real?" ”

"It's true, the Hui people couldn't sneak attack before, but now the army is overwhelmed. The people on the border have been transferred to Cangzhou Mansion. Song Guan smiled as he spoke, this kind of comfortable smile was the first time Wang Zhifu had seen it.

"With cement and bricks, this time the trebuchet of Hui is useless!" Song Guan laughed, it can be seen that he has suffered a lot of turbidity over the years, and now he can't get by!

In fact, the Hui people were also dumbfounded!

When they attacked at night a few days ago, this city wall was not yet there, and in just a few days, the Tai'an army built a new city wall? And advanced two miles forward?

"My lord, is this wall newly built? How can it be so high from the original position? It's only been a few days...... "A leader couldn't believe his eyes, when he led his troops to attack at night a few days ago, the city wall was still the same height, why didn't he see it for a few days, this city wall was so much higher?"

The leader of the army this time was Qi Tengcha, a stout man about forty years old. He often led troops to attack Tai'an, and this city wall is repaired every year, and now it can be repaired so high in a few days?

Even if the earth is rammed, it can't be firm so quickly?

Qi Tengcha heard that his subordinates around him were talking about this city wall, and he didn't believe that the city wall that had been piled up in a few days could be strong! As soon as their trebuchets smash and stakes hit, this papier-mâché wall will fall!

But when I got closer, I realized that the wall was not ordinarily high. Qi Tengcha calculated, even if this city wall is about four zhang high, it can't stop their trebuchet!

Soon, their trebuchet was activated, and stone projectiles rained down from the sky into the city, and the sound was everywhere.

Qi Teng found that the stone bullet could not smash the city wall, and his heart was shocked! The walls that have been built in the past few days are so strong? What methods did the Tai'an people use to build this wall?

If the wall had been built in a hurry, there would not have been many soldiers in it, and there would have been no grass on the ground, and they would have thrown stones on the wasteland.

"Huh, don't vote?" Captain Wang whistled and looked at the large and small stone bullets on the ground, this was the first time that there were no casualties! It's so cool!

After the cement and bricks were developed, they were dried in less than two days. Their walls were rebuilt with bricks and cement, but General Song said it would take at least half a month for them to be fully solid.

Now there is no time, and the Hui people are attacking.

Cement has just been developed, in short, it can be blocked for as long as it can.

There is not much cement on the city wall, it dries quickly, and the sword is cut down, and there is no trace left, which is really amazing!

However, the newly built cement city wall outside may not have dried thoroughly, and I don't know how long it can withstand it.

Qi Tengcha saw that the trebuchet could not be used, and waved his hand to let another equipment come on.

- Live broadcast, the other party used a three-bow bed crossbow, also known as the "eight-bull crossbow".

Lu Yingfang: What's that?

——The arrows are made of hard wood as the shaft and the iron sheet as the feather, the size of the javelin, and the range can reach more than 1,000 meters. It's a spectacular thing to fire at close range, nailing straight into the walls. When the salvo was fired, hundreds of "javelins" were driven into the city wall, and the siege soldiers could climb the edge of the city.

Lv Yingfang: Can the newly built cement wall still hold up?

- Qi Tengcha prepares to use a rushing car, also called "Linchong" or "opposite building", which is an armored siege tower, that is, to destroy the city walls and gates with the force of the collision. To put it bluntly, this thing is to hit the rammed city walls and wooden gates with its own weight acceleration. I'm afraid the newly built city wall will not be able to hold up.

Lu Yingfang's heart came up again: Ah, it's a pity that this cement has been developed for too long. Hey, I have accumulated merit points later, and I should buy the origin of the coal mine, etc., so that the cement can be developed quickly.

- Dear, you give too much, and it's not good for you! Even if you give everything, it is difficult to speed up the development of cement according to the current level of technology. The setting of this book is a time when even iron tools can't be arbitrary! It can be seen that it is quite backward. Even if the cement has not been developed this time, this battle will be won, but it will be a heavy loss.

Lv Yingfang: What if I invented ** to resist the enemy?

- Dear, this is not going to work. This is obviously a product of a higher era than this era, and you can't buy a recipe for a thousand merit points.

Lv Yingfang: Sulfur accounts for about 10%, charcoal accounts for about 15%, saltpeter accounts for about 75%, or saltpeter accounts for about 60%, sulfur accounts for about 20%, charcoal accounts for about 20%.

- How do you know?

Lu Yingfang: Are a lot of them good in the novel?

- Ahhhh......hh Don't do that, you'll be wiped out.

Lu Yingfang: I'm just talking.

——…… Are you teasing me?

How does it sound that the system is angry?

Lv Yingfang: I invented the black ** today, and the secret recipe of the other day will definitely be stolen, and the enemy will also use the black ** against Tai'an in the future. In this book, Song Guan has been able to guard the frontier for so many years, so it can be seen that black ** is not a necessity!

Song Guan sat in the city, listening to the military reports sent from all over the country.

Icheon Castle was actually attacked by Hui Hui at the same time!

Like Cangzhou City, Lichuan City is located on the border, but the difference is that the Hui people go to Lichuan City on a long detour, and they usually attack Cangzhou City first.

Lan Ronghe has been sent to Icheon City to instruct the cement fortifications, calculate the time, those cement piles should be dry!

Yes, the cement piles a mile away from the city gate are dry, and the trebuchets of the Hui Hui can't get past at all!

The Hui people were dumbfounded, these cement piles were as thick as a person's thighs, the top of the head was pointed, and the pillars could not tell what they were made of, not like stones. These pillars are about half a foot high, and people can move around at will, but horses can't walk over them, even if they can cross this obstacle, unless it's a bloody horse like the leader. Their ordinary cavalry horses can't go that high! If you can't jump over, the horse's belly will be pierced by the hard thorns on the pillar, and you will die.

The difference between Icheon Castle and Cangzhou Castle is that Icheon Castle is built on a mountain, with two stone mountains on the side, and the main gate of Icheon Castle is only a few miles flat. Therefore, as long as these few miles blocked the trebuchets and cavalry of the Hui Hui, the victory or defeat of the battlefield was largely determined.

The leader of the troops was Qi Tengcha's younger brother Saitenha, who was ten years younger than Qi Tengcha and was eager to make a contribution. Although Icheon City was difficult to attack, he got the news that the garrison on the side of Icheon City had not been very good, and besides, Hui had been attacking Icheon City for several years, and this side had long relaxed its vigilance.

"My lord, this Icheon Castle has been prepared for a long time...... "Why don't we retreat!" The subordinates didn't dare to say it, but the meaning of the words was already obvious. Their trebuchets were unable to move past and cause damage to Icheon Castle. The cavalry's horses could not pass, and if the infantry attacked the city directly, the losses would be too great.

Saitoha didn't want to withdraw directly, so he was stationed on the spot.

Lan Ronghe frowned and looked at the camp in front of him, he didn't expect his mother to be so accurate! Fortunately, General Song asked him to prepare, otherwise this Lichuan City would have suffered heavy casualties.
