Chapter 249: There are no rockets yet

Li Yue didn't answer Ming Wenli's words, but said anxiously, "Quickly inform everyone, get ready for battle, the Xianbei army has begun to assemble." ”

Yesterday's lieutenant, who was standing on the side, looked at the Xianbei camp in front of him, and said to Li Yue with some dissatisfaction, "Don't talk nonsense. "Yesterday, because of these two people, the Ming guards took the risk to open the city gate for them (them), and the captain was already a little dissatisfied with the two of them, but now he is still standing on this city tower with the Ming guards, and there are no rules at all for yelling and screaming.

Li Yue listened to the words of the captain on the side, frowned slightly, and directly stuffed the telescope in his hand to the captain on the side, "Look for yourself." ”

The lieutenant looked at the things handed to him by Li Yue suspiciously, and finally took it, followed Li Yue's example, put it in his eyes and looked at the Xianbei camp in front of him.

After Li Yue finished speaking, Ming Wenli greeted the captain, "I'll leave it to you here", and then went down to the city tower to gather the army, he knew very well that Xiao Yue would never joke about this kind of thing, since Xiao Yue said it, it must be true.

The lieutenant took Li Yue's telescope and saw the movement of the Xianbei camp, his face changed greatly, and he immediately returned the telescope to Li Yue, and shouted to the surrounding soldiers defending the city, "The Xianbei army is coming soon, give me a blow and prepare for battle." This lieutenant is specially responsible for guarding the city gates.

Then the captain also began to get busy, commanding the soldiers defending the city to prepare for the next big battle, Li Yue stood on the city tower, watching the Yanxi army under the command of their respective leaders, busy in an orderly manner, and couldn't help but admire in her heart, this Yanxi army is much stronger than she imagined, even in the face of such a situation, the leaders at all levels have no sign of panic, and none of those soldiers flinched.

Looking at those soldiers, Li Yue's expression suddenly became a little dazed, as if she had seen her own past.

"Satsuki?"

When Lin Xiao called Li Yue for the third time, Li Yue finally came back to his senses in his thoughts, looked at Lin Xiao, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Lin Xiao returned the telescope he had just taken from Li Yue's hand to Li Yue, and said, "Let me ask you what is that thing?" ”

Compared with Lin Xiao, who didn't know anything about the war, Li Yue was still a little speechless, looking at the huge cart, Li Yue opened her mouth to explain for Lin Xiao, "It's a city-breaking vehicle, which is used to break open the city gate." ”

Lin Xiao looked at the broken city car and muttered, "It's all wood?" If a fire burns, it's useless. ”

Li Yue's eyes lit up, and she grabbed a soldier next to her and asked, "Where is the archer?" ”

The soldier looked at the two of them, and saw that the two of them were actually the people who were with the Ming guards yesterday, so he pointed in the direction of the bow and arrow camp, and Li Yue pulled Lin Xiao and walked over there.

His bow and crossbow have a long range, and when the time comes, find a few rockets with rocket heads, and burn the siege engines, so that they can't get close to the city gate, and see how they can break the city gate.

At this time, the Xianbei battalion outside the city had already sounded the war drums of the attack.

Li Yue looked at the rows of neatly lined archers, holding a big bow and carrying an arrow on his back, so he walked over quickly, Ming Wenli saw Li Yue coming over and asked, "Why haven't you gone down to the city tower yet?" It's too dangerous up there, Lin Gongzi, you and Xiaoyue go down first. ”

Li Yue ignored Ming Wenli's words, and said directly, "Give me a few rockets." ”

Ming Wenli looked at Li Yue suspiciously, "Rocket? ”

Li Yue looked at Ming Wenli, the corners of her eyes twitched slightly, and she had a bad premonition, "No rockets?" ”

Ming Wenli shook his head and asked suspiciously, "What is the rocket like?" ”

Li Yue sighed in her heart, "If you don't, forget it." ”

Ming Wenli looked at Li Yue's disappointed expression, and couldn't help but say, "We have oil drums." ”

Li Yue just nodded casually, and took a few steps forward to look at the Xianbei army approaching the city gate in front of him, and fell into his own thoughts, thinking about how the rocket was made? Seems simple, right?

Ming Wenli looked at Li Yue standing on the edge of the city tower in a daze at this time, and hurriedly pulled Li Yue over, and scolded lightly, "Are you standing there and using the Xianbei archers as a target?" ”

Li Yue came back to her senses and smiled apologetically at the fourth uncle.

In the end, Li Yue, under the supervision of the fourth uncle, went down to the city tower, because Li Yue found that for these primitive methods of defending the city, she stood on it, except for blocking things, it was really useless, and she had many ideas in her heart, but it took time to prepare, and there was no way to apply it to the current city defense.

Li Yue left Lin Xiao by the side of the fourth uncle, asked Lin Xiao to pay attention to the safety of the fourth uncle, and went to the yamen alone.

At this time, Linzi County is very quiet, the atmosphere is depressing, most of the doors are closed, and there are also people who poke their heads out from time to time to look out, but they are all flustered, even if someone walks on the street, they are all panicked left and right to watch, for fear that this Xianbei person will come out of the side.

Li Yue looked at the current Linzi County, remembered the prosperous Linzi County in the past, and sighed again.

At this time, a person suddenly appeared and bumped into Li Yue's body, and then hurriedly said sorry to Li Yue, but Li Yue's hand suddenly had an extra note.

Li Yue pinched the note in her hand, and saw that the person who bumped into her had already left in a panic.

When the man left, Li Yue picked up the note in his hand and opened it, but there were only three words on it, and those three words were quite familiar, and the note was actually written on Xiaoyaolou.

Li Yue's heart instantly tightened, was there something wrong with Xiaoyao Tower, turned the direction, and Li Yue quickly walked in the direction of Xiaoyao Tower.

When he arrived at the door of Xiaoyao Building, Xiaoyao Building was the same as other stores, and now the door was closed, so Li Yue went directly to the back alley, loaded the bow and crossbow on his arm with arrows, and knocked on the back door of Xiaoyao Building.

"Who?"

Li Yue knocked for a long time before a voice came from inside, but it was actually the voice of the shopkeeper Qu from inside, Li Yue breathed a sigh of relief and answered, "Uncle Qu, it's me, Xiaoyue." ”

Shopkeeper Qu opened the door, looked at the door wearing an ill-fitting soldier armor, and said in surprise, "Xiaoyue, why did you come here?" You're here? ”

Li Yue responded, "Uncle Qu, let's go inside and talk about it." ”

Only then did the shopkeeper Qu remember that Li Yue was still standing at the door, so he hurriedly got out of the way and beckoned, "Come into the house." ”

The location of this Xiaoyao Building is already in the city, but you can still clearly hear the sound of war drums and shouts outside, the shopkeeper Qu beckoned Li Yue to sit down in the study on the first floor, poured Li Yue a cup of hot tea warm on the small stove in the study, and then asked with a worried face, "Are you here?" You came from the gates? Do you know what's going on out there? ”

Li Yue responded, "The Xianbei army has launched an attack on the city, but don't worry, with the Yanxi army guarding it, they can't attack it." Li Yue said as best as she could, so as not to worry about the shopkeeper.

Immediately, Li Yue remembered that she had only seen the shopkeeper Qu alone, so she asked, "Uncle Qu, you are alone in the teahouse?" ”

Shopkeeper Qu got up busily, and answered as he walked to the courtyard outside, "I almost forgot, you all came out to take it, you are acquaintances." ”

After calling the shopkeeper Qu, he came in and continued to sit down, and said, "There is a cellar on the other side of the kitchen, and I heard a knock on the door for fear of any danger, so I told them to hide in the cellar." ”

Then Li Yue saw Qu Yi enter the door, and the person who followed behind patted the dust on his body with a disgusted face, this person was none other than Yan Shisan.

Li Yue stood up and said in surprise, "Why are you here?" When did it come? ”

Yan 13 saw that Li Yue had already pounced excitedly, Li Yue hurriedly dodged away, frowned and said, "What are you doing?" I ask you, why are you here? ”

Shopkeeper Qu looked at the scene in front of him and said with some surprise, "You guys, do you know?" ”

Without waiting for Li Yue to speak, Yan Shisan took the first step to speak to the shopkeeper Qu, "She is my cousin-in-law." ”

Shopkeeper Qu looked at Li Yue suspiciously, then saw Li Yue nodded helplessly, and then looked at Yan Shisan, waiting for Yan Shisan to explain to himself, why he was here alone, and who was the person who sent the letter just now?

Yan Shisan winked at Li Yue innocently, and didn't say anything, Li Yue knew that Yan Shisan must be because the shopkeeper Qu was there, and it was not easy to speak, so he didn't continue to ask why Yan Shisan was here, but said, "Clean up yourself, and go back with me in a while." ”

The shopkeeper Qu saw that Li Yue was so fierce to Yan Shisan, thinking that this Xiaoyue was not very old, but she really looked like a sister-in-law, and took the initiative to explain for Yan Shisan, "Zhou Gongzi came to visit relatives, just arrived in this Linzi County, and just happened to live in our Xiaoyao Building, he was trapped in this county, since Xiaoyue is your cousin-in-law, you must have come to visit your relatives, Xiaoyue don't blame him." ”

Yan Shisan had already obediently gone out and went to the front guest room to pack his things.

Li Yue asked the shopkeeper Qu, "Aren't Aunt Qu and Sister Nanying here?" ”

Shopkeeper Qu replied, "They are all in Nanying's house, and they are closer to the yamen." ”

Li Yue stood up and said, "I'll just come over and take a look, see if you're okay, since you're all good, then I'll go back first, I went to see the gate of this city, Uncle Qu don't worry, this Xianbei army can't get in, I'll take my cousin back first." ”

Shopkeeper Qu saw that Li Yue was in trouble, so he answered, "Okay, be careful on the road." ”

Li Yue went out, stood in the courtyard and waited for a while, and then said a few words to the shopkeeper Qu, and then Yan Shisan took a package and came from the front of the teahouse.

Li Yue looked at Yan Shisan's voice, frowned, and said, "Let's go." ”

Then he said goodbye to the shopkeeper Qu, and took Yan Shisan out of the door.

After going out, Li Yue didn't speak, and quickened her pace to walk in the direction of her own yard, Yan Shisan didn't speak, and followed behind Li Yue.

It wasn't until he arrived in the courtyard that Yan Shisan took off the headkerchief on his head in disgust, observed the courtyard that Li Yue brought him into left and right, and said, "This place is just like it, and the mountain is too simple." ”
