Chapter 389: Combat Readiness
Ruan Qing's methods also began to gradually show their effects over time, more and more people began to find Luoyan Town and pointed out that they wanted to fight with me, but none of these people from the Bai family appeared again, but Wei Junyao's crush came a lot, with the attitude of waste utilization, Princess Wushan, who was pretended to be Yingchen, came forward, so that the guards at his door began to change from one man in Tsing Yi to five, and the miscellaneous garrison in the town also changed from 2000 to nearly 4000.
The increase in the number of people under his hands did not make me feel how much less difficult the things I had to face next, the victory or defeat was all about whether Aunt Jinyue's Nine Bull Abyss Method could work, and how effective it was, as for these rabble, as Wu Jiyun said, in a real war, only soldiers who have experienced the baptism of blood and tears can really laugh at the end.
There were many people in chaos, and seeing that more and more conflicts began to occur in the small town, I discussed with Wu Jiyun for half a night, and decided to adopt the screening law of survival of the fittest, leaving only a group of worthy of reuse will be handed over to him for training, and when the time is ripe, he will be directly incorporated into his army, which can be regarded as filling the patrol of Luoyan Town, as for the rest, all the fucking go to plant trees, and after the completion of the Great Forbidden Mountain Forest Law, we will arrange a place to go depending on the situation.
Time passed day by day, and finally on the 5th day, Boss Jiang finally drove out 5 iron bulls whose weight and size met the requirements of Aunt Jinyue in the case of extreme shortage of resources, and the iron bull and the personnel did not pull over at the first time, but waited in Luoyan Town, and the remaining four continued to step up the time forging, and Aunt Jinyue and I explored the road first, just waiting for an order, and then we could join the division to go south.
Three hundred kilometers of waterway, downstream, almost two days of hard work to reach the boundary of Wuyuan City, and along the way I also noticed a problem, from entering the Wuyuan City of Belle, the towns on both sides of the Yellow River began to increase, its population and area from the outside are much larger than Luoyan Town, there are even many small ports busy with trade, which can't help but make me secretly worried, the transportation of thousands of people is impossible to complete by dart boats alone, Now there are a total of four large warships that can accommodate 500 people, including the Black Dragon Warship, docked at the ferry port of Luoyan Town, and they are so blatantly passing along the river, I am afraid that before they enter the boundary of Wuyuan City, they will be intercepted halfway, and the whole plan will be ruined.
After Aunt Jinyue told her all concerns, she didn't show too much worry, but carefully observed the situation on both sides of the strait, and said: "There is a method of the Nine Dragons Sea Water in the lower volume of the Luban technique, coupled with a small iron bull hiding spell, which can hide most of the ships in the frenzy of that night, and at that time, I will arrange for my junior sister to prepare the big trick of the Three Immortals Returning to the Cave in advance, not to mention that no one notices, but at least it will not attract people's attention."
After Aunt Jinyue finished speaking, she went into the canopy of the ship and took out a golden eagle, wrote down all the things to be prepared on paper, and let the golden eagle go back to deliver the message.
In charge of guiding me and Aunt Jinyue in rowing was an old dart master in the dart board, and the fifth generation was in this area, even if the river had experienced the cataclysm, as long as he looked at it, he could tell what direction and position he was currently in.
The dart master directly carried the two of us along the river, stopping at the ferry port of Wuyuan City, the whole ferry was a busy situation, large merchant ships came and went, the porters on the wharf carried large and small goods bare-chested and kept moving back and forth, pedestrian and passenger boats kept coming and going, and the endless stream of horse-drawn carriages rushed between the ferry and the city, splashing bursts of yellow dust and smoke.
After the three of them got off the boat, they did not take the car, and walked directly along the official road to the city, although the distance between the wharf and the city gate was not far, but probably because the war had not subsided, the sight was everywhere the soldiers in armor and knives staring solemnly at the pedestrians, and there were a few passers-by and porters who seemed to have disputes over the cost in the middle, and before the voice was raised, they were directly put on their arms and dragged into the distance and disappeared.
Along the way, looking at the strict military discipline of Wuyuan City's city defense, I couldn't help but worry in my heart, Aunt Jinyue on the side also frowned, and kept muttering something in her mouth, and then stopped and said: "Don't go into the city, please go and inform the people in the town to gather in Gucheng tomorrow night, and Xiao Yi and I will naturally go to answer at that time." ”
Gu Cheng is the closest to Wuyuan City, a lonely city with no towns around, the town is not big, it is the meeting point we agreed to capture Wuyuan City before, but the nine iron oxen needed in the Nine Bull Abyss Law have just been built so far, and there are four more It is estimated that it will take four days at the earliest, and it will be too early to gather to attack the city tomorrow?
Seeing that my face was full of doubts, Aunt Jinyue looked around, then pointed at the city wall with her hand, and said: "The walls of Wuyuan City have not been completely repaired after the war, but according to the current situation, it can be completed at most the day after tomorrow, so we must take advantage of this wave of east wind to capture it before it forms an iron and copper wall!" ”
Following Aunt Jinyue's fingers, I noticed that the mighty walls of Wuyuan Castle seemed to have been vigorously destroyed at the junction near the pier, an irregular gap connecting the two city walls, but the gap had been filled by huge wooden piles, and at this moment there were many coolies erecting ladders, constantly transporting stone bricks towards the gap.
I couldn't help but be moved when I saw this, and hurriedly ordered the dart master to go back, and when I saw Aunt Jinyue staring at it, she still didn't feel very relieved, so she said, "Wait for me for a while", turned around and walked to the river, squatted down and grabbed a handful of wet mud on the ground, and kept kneading it with her hands.
I watched her plunge into the coolie pile in such a big way, and I was a little worried, but suddenly found that good-looking people seemed to be particularly popular no matter where they were, especially Aunt Jinyue's porcelain baby face, as soon as she appeared in the crowd, all the coolies around her stopped their movements, and then I saw her pointing at the city wall with a childlike look as if asking something, and the strugglers next to her rushed to talk and gesturing, but at that moment, a boulder brick hanging in the air just let go and smashed into the gap, Immediately afterwards, I saw Aunt Jinyue holding the hand of the clay man and suddenly threw it towards the city wall with lightning speed, the clay figure passed through the crowd and fell on the foundation of the city that was about to be smashed, and the boulder above also fell at the same time, smashing the clay man to pieces.
When Aunt Jinyue came back, I still looked at her in confusion, but I saw a strange smile in her eyes that was not easy to detect, and whispered: "Remember the location of this brick, and use it as a breakthrough tomorrow night, and it will be broken." ”
After doing all this, according to the previous guidance of the dart master, the two bypassed the lengthy wall and came to the entrance of the side gate of the city, at this time the gate of the side gate was closed, but they could see from the ground the traces left by the long-term rolling and walking, the traces extended along the city gate to the invisible position in the distance, but the end point must be the acropolis with 8,000 garrisons.
The distance range of less than ten miles is the key point to distinguish the victory or defeat tomorrow night.
The two of them lingered for a moment under the city gate, and began to walk forward following the traces, this area was deserted, there was no grass, only a shallow dirt road marked on the ground that could be distinguished, and there was nothing around to hide their whereabouts, which meant that before the siege of the city tomorrow night, we might need to lay a Nine Bull Abyss Array under the noses of the enemy, the difficulty of which was great, and the risks that might be taken, were self-evident.
In order to avoid attracting attention, Aunt Jinyue and I didn't dare to approach the Acropolis directly, but we could see the outline of the city from a distance and stopped. ”
"But if you want to transport such a big piece of iron as nine heads under the nose of the enemy, and then complete the formation, even if there is a trick, I'm afraid it's not easy, right?" I groaned.
Aunt Jinyue didn't speak, her eyes kept sweeping back and forth between the two cities, and then she looked at the river and said, "How far do you think it is from here to the riverbank?" “
I frowned, looked at it and said, "It's less than three hundred meters." “
Aunt Jinyue suddenly laughed and said, "I have a way." “
