Fan Dingyao and they had already made a decision, so they ordered to send all the affairs of the Vietnamese army, and the people in charge of each party were ordered to leave.

Zheng Tianba was in full swing to train his soldiers; Fan Chuyao took people from Haiping County to Haifeng County to transport grain and grass; Zou Zukuan led the township to assist in the management of the city defense; Hu Xianxian borrowed weapons and soldiers from Lei Peng, the general of the right sea.

The navy did not have large-scale siege equipment, only Lei Peng required his subordinates to adapt to amphibious operations, equip infantry equipment, and train two offensive methods.

Hu Xianxian didn't expect to rely on this to attack the city by borrowing weapons, Fan Dingyao meant to intimidate the rebels, making them think that the Pingyue Army and the Right Navy had joined forces to prompt Han Zejiong to surrender earlier.

In terms of Han Zejiong's character, it is easy for this kind of person to surrender, and it is easy to rebel, and to ensure that Yuezhou is truly pacified, he must be given enough deterrence.

As a last resort, Fan Dingyao would not really storm the city, and the imperial court did not want the city to be destroyed.

Lei Peng was not in the General's Mansion, but patrolled the sea in a boat. After Hu Xianxian asked the soldiers in the palace for the approximate direction of his going, he flew over to find it.

In the evening, the sunset over the sea was extremely magnificent, and Hu Xianxian couldn't help but slow down and watch while flying.

The golden glow and red glow at the junction of the sea and the sky spread, and it is impossible to tell where is the sea and where is the sky? It is suspicious that it is the edge of the sky and the end of the sea, and it feels like there will be a palace beyond the earthly world.

The sunset is beautiful, the sea is flat, and several soldiers in armor on a small boat are also amazed, and no paintbrush can paint this natural picture scroll dyed by the sky.

"Huh...... General, is that the dragon girl of the Dragon Palace? She's out to watch the sunset, too......"

Xiao Bing pointed to the diagonal front and said, Lei Peng looked over, only to see a delicate shadow flying in the air.

Her light blue robe seems to be the blue of the sky, and it seems to be the blue of the sea, I don't know if it flew down from the sky or jumped out of the sea?

Lei Peng smiled and said to the little soldier: "It's not a dragon girl, it's a fairy." ”

The little soldier was wondering, the figure was already standing on the bow of the ship, bowed to Lei Peng, and said, "Poor Dao to meet General Lei." ”

"Yuan Jun is Fuhui Tianfei Hu Xianxian? I heard from my father that I mentioned you in a letter. Lei Peng returned the salute with a fist.

Now that the two sides have understood each other, they don't talk nonsense anymore, and Hu Xianxian directly asked for borrowing equipment and soldiers. Lei Peng nodded in agreement, and ordered the rowing boat soldiers to return quickly, and they would discuss again after they returned to the general's mansion.

After returning home, Lei Peng selected 20 soldiers who could skillfully operate the equipment, and arranged five equipment for Hu Xianxian to take to Yuezhou.

Hu Xianxian looked at the soldier and the equipment repeatedly, they were all very good, but was it too little?

"Do you think I'm slamming the door?"

Lei Peng laughed at himself, he smiled very handsomely, unlike Lei Madly Lion's nose and thick lips, his facial features were more similar to Mrs. Lei. Mrs. Lei's appearance seems to be too hard among women, but when she is replaced by Lei Peng, she just looks heroic and masculine.

"The city of Yuezhou is easy to defend and difficult to attack, although the main purpose is to deter Han Zejiong, but it also has to be sufficient, not too perfunctory, and the enemy can see through it at a glance." Hu Xianxian gave the reason.

Her expression was a little unnatural, not because she was nervous unnaturally because she was afraid of Lei Peng, but because her neck was a little uncomfortable. Lei Peng should be more than nine feet tall, and he has to keep looking up when talking to him.

Hu Xianxian thought secretly, fortunately, Cheng Haofeng was only a little taller than her, just raise her eyes, otherwise how tired would it be to often tilt her neck so much?

"There are only so many people and weapons in our army, it's not that I don't want to help." Lei Peng frowned.

The reason why he frowned was not only because the matter itself was difficult to handle, but also because Hu Xianxian's demeanor made him feel uncomfortable. He thought she should be different from other women, why was he still reluctant to talk to him?

He himself did not know that his height was oppressive to others, and it was not until someone reminded him a few years later that he sat down whenever he talked about things, and sat a little away from the guests.

Hu Xianxian took two steps back and looked at him with questioning eyes. He walked out of the house, and she followed.

"What do you see on the other side of the sea?"

There is no rockery pavilion in Lei Peng's mansion, there is a high pavilion similar to an observatory, and he led Hu Xianxian to walk up to the high pavilion and point to the junction of the sea and the sky.

The twilight is getting thicker, and there is no beautiful scene at sunset, only a dark blue cloud vaguely resembling an island.

"Is it an island?" She replied uncertainly.

"It's an island, the island of my Dafa Dynasty. Dongying has long coveted that island, and has been repeatedly provoked, but I have been defeated many times. The DPRK and China decided to use the reserve army as the main force to counter the rebellion and not to use the border army is very correct. There are foreign countries in all directions, and I have to guard against them. ”

Hu Xianxian's hometown is not very far from the sea, but she has rarely been to the sea, and she does not understand how important the sea border is. It's just that Lei Peng's appearance looking at the sea from afar was full of affection, which shocked her very much.

The land is not only "soil" is important, but "water" is also very important, and she should not embarrass him.

Hu Xianxian thanked him and took people to Haifeng County overnight.

The five instruments are five ladders, and unlike the common ladders, this ladder can be folded and stored, and it does not need to be carried by people, but is pulled by a horse-drawn cart.

The ladder is collapsible, but heavier than the usual ladders, made entirely of copper, and extraordinarily wide.

What's more different is that the top of the ladder vertical bar is two copper balls, the copper balls seem to be hollow, with thin seams, and there should be hidden mechanisms in the thin seams.

"You're here to get up to enemy ships, aren't you? It may not work if it is used outside the city wall......" Hu Xianxian said worriedly after taking a closer look at the equipment.

"It is indeed for the purpose of getting close to the enemy ship, and we jumped directly onto the enemy ship several times, and used this ladder to kill the enemy by surprise. Hehe, you can climb the city walls just as well......" replied the accompanying creep proudly.

"It is estimated that it can only bluff the enemy, the head of the ladder is round, how can it be erected firmly on the city wall? Also, this bronze ladder is too cumbersome, how many people do you have to carry it under the city and erect a ladder? ”

Hu Xianxian saw that before the cloud ladder reached the city wall, the soldiers defending the city shot the siege soldiers. It's easy to shoot arrows from above, and the enemy is not stupid, it is impossible to watch the opponent slowly transport equipment to the city, and then slowly open the folding ladder, slowly assemble it, and then slowly erect it to attack the city......

"Haha, Hu Xianfeng doesn't believe us? No matter how much we explain it to you, it's nonsense, and when it comes in handy, you'll understand. ”

The little soldier smiled heartily, not at all angry at Hu Xianxian's suspicions, he firmly believed that these siege equipment could show their skills on the battlefield.

Due to the bulky equipment, they arrived at the outskirts of Dehaifeng County before February 12. Fan Dingyao had already sent someone to greet him in the suburbs, and after the two sides briefly exchanged information, Hu Xianxian took the soldiers and equipment borrowed by Lei Peng to the direction of Yuezhou City.

Fan Dingyao received the news that they had set off, and also set off as a team. He asked Zheng Tianba to lead two hundred elite cavalry to be lightly armed and simple, as the advance team, and he took the rest of the people to follow on foot.

Fan Chuyao stayed in Haifeng County, going back and forth to Haiping, Haifeng, and Yuezhou City to deliver news and escort grain and grass.

At about noon on 14 February, Zheng Tianba took the lead in sending troops to camp next to a small dirt slope six miles outside the city of Deyuezhou. Their arrival alerted the rebels in the city, but both sides were only on guard and did not start a battle.

At around midnight, Zheng Tianba led his troops to arrive. Because the advance team had already prepared camp tents and dug stove pits, they camped directly without making much noise. After the rebels watched and probed, they did not know exactly how many people were in the follow-up team.

When they arrived in Deyin, due to the bulky equipment, Hu Xianxian, who was the first to leave, arrived last.

As soon as he approached the camp, Fan Dingyao sent someone to bring a straw curtain to quickly cover the equipment on the bare carriage. The carriages then entered the camp and were parked in a specific order next to the other carriages.

Hu Xianxian curiously lifted the straw curtain of the carriage that had stopped here first, and saw that there were only branches and big stones on it, and couldn't help laughing, and also understood that Fan Dingyao's grass curtain wanted to confuse the enemy.

The most common thing is to overstate the number of participants and exaggerate the war input. For example, this 1,200-strong Pingyue army declared to the enemy that "the DPRK and China will send 30,000 Pingyue elite soldiers."

This is not an exaggeration, those wars that take a state city and kill millions of soldiers and horses at every turn are blown.

The French Dynasty has more than 20 provinces, a total of more than 300 states, and one state will invest millions of soldiers and horses, how many people will be enough?

The population of the Central Plains is about 50,000, and from the Taoist Dynasty to the French Dynasty, there are only more than 20 battles of one million soldiers and horses. Even if it was only more than 20 times, the population of the Central Plains dropped to less than 20,000 when it was the most scarce.

It is not only the soldiers who are killed or injured in the war, but the tragic consequences outside the battlefield are equally terrible. It is no wonder that some warlike nations were completely wiped out in the end.

On the 15th of February, they proceeded according to the predetermined premises.

Zheng Tianba led his troops to the East Gate City, which was not far from the camp, and they all had bright armor and sharp swords and guns.

"Shrunken turtle Han Zejiong, hurry up and get out of the city to fight with grandpa for three hundred rounds! Come out quickly, there should be no more fighting, grandpa set foot on Yuezhou City......"

Zheng Tianba made people shout and curse loudly under the city, and scolded a few words and beat gongs and drums, which was so lively that it was a bit like singing a big opera.

However, Zheng Tianba did not take this matter as a child's play, he rode on a tall horse, hidden behind the formation of the formation, and observed the reaction of the enemy troops on the city tower seriously and meticulously.

Two miles outside the west gate of Yuezhou City, Fan Dingyao led his troops to the bottom of the city. He didn't scold, just set up a formation and methodically did the thing of transporting siege equipment.

He stood on top of the chariot and used a clairvoyant mirror to look at the tower. From time to time, a soldier came to his car to report, he gave a few words, and continued to look into the distance.

On the hillside not far from the city on the other side of the west gate, there was a group of men and horses lying in ambush. Perhaps they were not good enough in concealment, and the people on the towers could see them hunched around.

However, all this is just a suspicious formation, and the purpose is to use Zheng Tianba to make the rebels panic; Fan Dingyao made the rebels think that they were going to attack the city in a big way; And outside the West Gate, where only a hundred people ran around, the rebels thought that there was a large army in ambush.

All this was done in order to direct the rebel forces to these three gates, and to weaken the defense of the south gate.

At the south gate, Hu Xianxian led more than a hundred soldiers to line up listlessly. However, the main force to attack Yuezhou City at night was not these hundred or so people, but the people and equipment borrowed from Lei Peng.

Hu Xianxian really didn't know the bottom in her heart, although Fan Dingyao said that as long as they could attack suddenly, they would be afraid of the rebels, and they didn't need to really attack the city, she still didn't know the bottom in her heart.

Her worried expression fell in the eyes of the rebels defending the city, and she was even more sure that her road was the weakest in Pingyue.
