Chapter 440: Willful?
Fire attack?
This must be a joke, right?!
First of all, they do not have specially made rockets.
Secondly, they didn't have rosin, tung oil, or saltpeter for rockets.
Besides, now that the town gate is crumbling by thieves, what should be done is to take advantage of the break in their attack to reorganize the team and prepare for it.
Not only did the first four people feel that Lord Shen was acting rashly, but the seven strong men who were temporarily summoned to the tower were also full of suspicion.
Lord Shen didn't care about everyone's gaze.
He took out four arrows from the wounded and said to those present: "The thief has four kinds of arrows, and one of them is more special. He took out one of them and showed them the arrows, "These arrows, hollow, with fine holes on both sides, have the smell of saltpeter and sulfur. ”
He handed the arrow to the little flag commander, motioned for him to let everyone present look at each other, and then continued: "This kind of arrow is needed by this officer, and the task of the first team is to find this waste arrow. ”
Everyone looked at each other, wondering what he wanted for this waste arrow, and then shoot it back?
But if so, wouldn't it be better to find those ordinary arrows with little damage than those that have burned and damaged the shaft?
Lord Shen did not explain, but then ordered: "The second team, the third team, go to the nearby alleys to collect grease, cotton yarn, artillery and oil cans...... Also, pick one or two people and go to the pharmacy to find saltpeter - the faster, the more the better. ”
The Mid-Autumn Festival has passed for nearly a month, and there are not many artillery battles left in ordinary people's homes, and saltpeter is also medicine, but the pharmacy generally does not store too much.
Hearing this, Lu Wujin seemed to understand a little and asked, "My lord, do you want to remake the rocket?" ”
Lord Shen nodded slightly, but did not say anything else.
Lu Wujin got a positive answer, but he didn't think it was a good idea.
Now the thieves have been temporarily suppressed, but they will soon fight back. Moreover, the number of such special rockets must not be large, and even if they are found, the arrows that have been burned will not be usable, and even if the arrows are not damaged, the arrow shafts will have to be reconfigured. And when they deploy the arrows, the thieves may break the door.
He disagreed: "My lord, this plan is too time-consuming, and besides, once the thief crashes into the town gate, what role can a few rockets play?" ”
Lord Shen didn't think it was a pestle, and said, "Want to break the door? Then we'll have to ask again, our arrows. ”
As soon as these words came out, the strong men in the room turned pale, and they once again respected Lord Shen.
Only in the short time that the little flag commander gathered the personnel, Lord Shen shot Ma Huaide with an arrow, and led the first year of junior high and Lu Wujin to sneak attack the thieves who hit the door, forcing the thieves to retreat temporarily, so that they could discuss here.
However, even so, everyone still felt that the so-called fire attack plan was too hasty.
"My lord, whether we are in numbers or weapons, we are all inferior to thieves, if we just shoot each other with homemade rockets in the city, how can we win? It is better to go out of the city with a heavy shield, as in the south gate, once you get close, the opponent's arrows will lose their effectiveness, and we will have a chance to win. Yu Dongshan suggested.
Chu Yi immediately stood up and took over the conversation: "Master, the little one, I think this method is feasible." It's better to let the small one be the striker this time. ”
But Lord Shen just glanced at him silently.
Chu Yi was a little depressed, and couldn't help but glance at Jiang Han, who was in the corner, helping to apply medicine to the wounded.
Dr. Qiu, who was looking at Uncle Niu's injuries, also looked at Jiang Han, who had his ears pricked up, and sighed softly.
Knowing the entanglement between Jiang Han and Lord Shen, he sighed, and obviously felt that Lord Shen's painstaking arrangement had something to do with Jiang Han.
Jiang Han's suppressed and frantic shouts were heard by many people inside and outside the tower.
It is no longer a secret that she is a woman, and Lord Shen's subsequent reaction, the people outside did not see it, but the people in the tower saw it in person.
At this time, they all guessed something, and couldn't help but cast subtle glances at Jiang Han.
Although everyone admired Jiang Han's wisdom very much, at this time, they only thought of one word, "red face and troubled water".
Even Uncle Niu, who endured the pain to the point of almost falling into a coma, opened his eyes and glanced at her by coincidence.
And Xu Xiucai, who originally agreed very much with Lord Shen's initiative to attack, saw that everyone's eyes were glancing at her, and remembered the scene where Lord Shen and Jiang Han were facing each other, and her reaction was not so subtle as everyone else.
He was already a little embarrassed about Jiang Han being a woman, but at this time, he was even more angry, and accused: "Lord Shen, do you want to learn from the King of Zhou You, the princes of the Beacon Opera?" Fire attack, hmph, you want to fulfill this woman!" He arched his hand towards Yu Dongshan and continued, "I think this brother's strategy is much more reliable than your fire attack!" I hope you think twice, the lives of the whole town are in your hands!"
In fact, Jiang Han couldn't tell why he would shout those words to Lord Shen on the spur of the moment.
Since seeing Uncle Niu hit the arrow, she has a resentful air in her heart, when she heard someone shouting "Lord Shen is coming", her tense nerves were loosened, and this gas was mixed with some grievances and fear, and then Xu Xiucai roared madly in front of her, her head buzzed, and the dark thoughts in the bottom of her heart rushed out.
But she didn't think Lord Shen's decision had anything to do with her.
Lord Shen's temperament has one thing that not only she understands, but also everyone who has come into contact with him - that is, he is not a person who will be swayed by others.
Although there is some ambiguity between them, she doesn't think that her charm can reach the level of trouble.
She stood up suddenly, crossed her waist and said angrily: "Xu Xiucai, what are you blind? What tactics do you know, and if you do, you'll be scared almost crazy by a few dead people? And you, if you were all so good, would we still be beaten to the ground? Give me a good listen to Lord Shen, and then arrange three teams!"
Hearing this, Lord Shen looked straight at her, his heartstrings were loosened, and his eroticism couldn't help but eased - he still liked her spicy and energetic appearance.
Everyone was scolded by Jiang Han, and they also woke up.
That's right, Lord Shen is not a reckless person, so this arrangement must have its intentions.
Lu Wujin stood up first and said respectfully: "My lord, in this case, please continue to arrange." ”
Only Chu Yi didn't believe Jiang Han's words at all, and when it came to understanding, he was the one who knew Lord Shen best.
To say that his father's decision was not affected by Jiang Han at all, and he didn't believe it when he was killed.
However, for the time being, in order to maintain the majesty of his grandfather, he must echo this view.
He moved his body and waited for the battle, his brain began to run at high speed, wanting to think of a good idea, so that he could help Lord Shen fill the hole at any time.
Chu Yi guessed the reason correctly, but for this fire attack plan, Lord Shen was indeed serious.
He said: "Four or five teams, all archers, heavy shields, do a good job of covering, and the remaining two teams ......"
"Throw the oil cans into the crowd of thieves."
