Chapter 110: Painting for Love
Tancheng was stormy, and the people were panicked, and they didn't dare to go out even if it was daytime.
Compared with the solemn and solemn atmosphere, the sky is excellent, and the warm sun shines down, and there is a feeling that spring is approaching.
Outside the city, the city was crowded, all kinds of defensive facilities had been prepared, and 50,000 riflemen were the main force of defense.
Zhao Mu went to the city to inspect, corrected some small mistakes, and suddenly asked the generals around him: "Where has Chen's army arrived, why haven't you attacked yet?" ”
"General Hui, since the 300,000 troops of the Chen State left Yicheng, they have been stationed twenty miles outside the city, and there is no sign of attack."
Zhao Mu frowned, as the so-called soldiers are fast, if it is him Zhao Mu, he must attack quickly, so as not to give Tancheng more time to build defensive facilities.
"In that case, let the soldiers rest, let the craftsmen continue to build defenses, and keep a close eye on the enemy's movements."
"Yes!"
Zhou Tianwen originally had the intention of attacking, but Ling Husu stopped him.
In the tent, Zhou Tianwen was very puzzled and asked, "Your Majesty, why don't you attack, but camp here?" ”
Ling Husu sat on the top and drank tea, and replied: "Our army is 300,000, the enemy army is 200,000, and there are 50,000 riflemen, plus Tancheng is hard, how to attack?" Is it possible to fill it with human lives? If our army has 780,000 troops, it can be attacked, but only 300,000 troops can attack 200,000, and it is not advisable to attack by force. Don't worry, wait a few more days, I have my own way. ”
Artillery is a secret weapon, and no one in the army carries it, for fear of being detected by the enemy. He sent another army with twenty guns to pretend to be logistical and secretly marched to arrive in three days.
"That's 50,000 riflemen!"
Linghu Su knew how powerful the defense of 50,000 rifles would be at the head of the city, although the Northwest Army had 80,000 riflemen, but they lacked cover and could not shoot at the opponent. With the soldiers' nine marksmanship, I'm afraid most of the bullets will hit the city walls.
In this way, the Northwest Army besieged but did not attack, and only went to the city every once in the middle of the night to beat gongs and drums to harass the defenders at the head of the city, which was Bai Xiaoxiang's idea.
Shu Qin was in Rongcheng, and after getting the news, he looked inexplicable, and after meditating hard, he could only let Zhao Mu improvise.
"I don't know what Ling Husu is thinking, there must be a conspiracy."
At this time, the Qin army had taken the northernmost Bacheng, a small city that had been abandoned by the Wei State.
After taking Bacheng, the Qin State no longer continued to send troops, but stationed troops in Bacheng, and I don't know what to do.
Inside the tent, Ling Husu was painting, and Bai Xiaoxiang quietly came in and poked his head over to peek.
"Don't be sneaky, look!"
There are three people depicted on it, a bearded man on the left, a seductive woman on the right, and a beautiful girl in the middle.
"Hey, you're the one in the middle."
"Yes! I was afraid that I would forget them, so I drew them as a memento. It's a pity, if my father can hold on for a while longer, I will ask Zhang Wenyu to build a camera. ”
"Tsk, do you still need a camera, you're not bad."
"I wanted to learn everything in the first place, but I knew why I was learning so many things, except for the main class?"
"Pickle girl!"
"How do you know?"
"We've all seen your information, changing girlfriends is as fast as changing clothes, but I admire you a lot, you can find a common language when you meet any woman, and you can always come up with matching skills to flirt with your sister."
"Haha, it's embarrassing to think about it now. Thirty years ago, I fell in love with a beautiful painter, and this time I really liked it, not on the spot, nor on the joy of greedy fish and water. So, I spent more than half a year practicing painting, and finally I learned something, and when I went to see her again, she had stopped drawing and had changed to singing. It turned out that she was the same as me, and that was my first failed flirtation. ”
Bai Xiaoxiang brought over a plate of plums and handed a piece to Ling Husu, who put it in his mouth, which was sweet and sour, dispelling his tiredness.
"I'm curious, why do you like men, I've heard you talk about it, it's because of emotional sadness."
Bai Xiaoxiang smiled and said, "In those days, life was better than death, I wanted to become a woman and feel the pleasure of harming men, so I desperately took the medicine that transformed into a female." However, I am a super martial artist, and ordinary drugs are too slow for me to act. If an ordinary person takes this dose of medicine, I am afraid that it will completely transform into a woman. ”
Ling Hu Su was very curious, and asked again: "You are super martial!" , transcendent from the world, will also self-harm for women? ”
"Oh, if it wasn't hurt too deeply, why bother. But now it's okay, I've let it go, let it go, it's none of my business. ”
The two were talking quite interestingly, and when they heard a commotion outside, they knew that it was Duguxue and Fei Yan.
The door curtain was lifted, Dugu Xue walked in with a tired face, and Fei Yan followed behind with a radiant look.
"Your Majesty, can you not send me to protect Miss Fei Yan, I am protecting you."
Hearing this, Fei Yan immediately pursed his mouth and kicked Duguxue behind him.
Dugu Xue stood still and ignored it.
"What's wrong with you? Fei Yan, you can't stop it, and if you make such a fuss, I'll send you back to the capital. ”
Fei Yan's face became solemn, and he immediately shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, don't send me back, I'm going to the battlefield to fight!" At most, I won't trouble Brother Su anymore. ”
After speaking, she looked lonely and wanted to cry, as if she had suffered a great grievance.
Dugu Xue looked back, her head suddenly swelled and hurt, and said, "Okay, I'll go with you, okay, I'll go with you." ”
Then he turned his head and apologized, and left with Fei Yan.
Bai Xiaoxiang asked, "You want to match the two of them?" ”
Ling Hu Su replied indifferently: "It's not a match, but go with the flow, if it's intentional, it's okay, if it's unintentional, don't force it." Dugu Xue has a good nature, it's a pity to stay here with me. ”
"Heh, don't you have three palaces and six courtyards, how about letting Duguxue be a princess, tsk, interesting, very interesting."
Ling Husu gave her a slap mercilessly, without using internal force, but this palm was quite strong, and Bai Xiaoxiang was directly knocked out of the camp.
"Even though I am a daughter, what I like is still only a woman, never a man."
Thinking about it, I thought of Chu Miaoying inexplicably, to be honest, it is better to cross the mountains and rivers with Chu Miaoying than to be the emperor with power.
"Alas, how good it would be if I was really a man, I would definitely be able to take down Chu Miaoying."
Chu Miaoying's Taiyin faction is east of the Chen State, facing the sea, and will not be affected by the flames of war.
Finally, in the afternoon of the third day, the troops with artillery arrived.
Linghu Su went to receive it in person, and the defense was tight, so that no enemy spies could detect it.
After three months of renovation and upgrading, the artillery named Zhenwei Cannon has been greatly improved.
It is about five meters long, weighs 5,000 catties, and the range is still 10 kilometers, and the stability and power have been greatly improved. Today, three shells can destroy the gate of Tancheng.
Twenty artillery pieces were temporarily managed by Cheng Jin's pro-guard army, and some of the 5,000 pro-guard troops practiced artillery firing, precisely for today.
Linghu Su quickly summoned Zhou Tianwen and other generals to discuss the attack, and he couldn't wait any longer.
