As long as the generals above can risk their lives to fight the enemy to the death, how can the soldiers below not move forward bravely?

When Lin Haotian heard this, he laughed in his heart, but his face showed helplessness, he deliberately sighed, nodded, and said, "That's ...... Let's do what you want first, and when this battle is over, if the pass city is still not breached, I can only sell it to the Red Kingdom. ”

"My lord, there will definitely not be that day!" said all the generals present in unison.

Lin Haotian's attitude of planning to sell Guankou City successfully lifted the hearts of the generals of the Jin Army, and now, they are no longer fighting to conquer this mere city, but to save their face and honor, and to prove their strength, these two points are more important than their lives in their eyes.

After Yin Xiang lived in the Jin camp, she wandered around the barracks without hesitation, with the men in black by her side, the powerful entourage of the martial arts, and the guards of the Jin Kingdom, and she was not afraid that the soldiers of the Jin Army would dare to be rude to her.

Jin Jun was reinforcing the stone throwing machine in large quantities, which surprised Yin Xiang secretly, and she also specially asked Liu Lie, who was in charge of reinforcing the stone throwing machine, why she wrapped the stone throwing machine with steel armor.

Liu Lie didn't hide it, and said frankly that he wanted to push the stone thrower to the bottom of the pass city and directly hit the city lord's mansion in the city.

The speaker has no intention, the listener has a heart, after understanding the intention of the Jin army, Yin Xiang secretly inhaled, the information of the Jin army is really amazing, and he actually perceived the key point of Guankou City, but unfortunately, they only know one thing, but they don't know the other......

A few days later, he returned from the flying pigeon of the Red Country, bringing with him a handwritten letter from the Red King Yin Ji. said that he accepted Lin Haotian's offer and was willing to buy the small city of Guankou for five million taels of silver.

After receiving the letter from her father, Yin Xiang relieved herself and went to Lin Haotian's dormitory overnight to meet Lin Haotian.

At this time, Roland was guarding outside the bedtime. Hearing Ming Yinxiang's intention, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she said proudly: "The adults have rested, no one is seen, if the princess has something, just wait until tomorrow dawn!"

At the first meeting, Yin Xiang sensed Roland's hostility towards her, and it continued until now, at first she didn't understand what was going on. But through the observation of the past few days, she has somewhat figured it out.

She rolled her eyes, and suddenly said, "Miss Roland likes General Lin, right?"

Her sudden words made Luo Lanyu's face crimson, she subconsciously looked at Shao Lin and Tong Lei, and was about to speak, Yin Xiang calculated: "Miss Luo Lan doesn't have to explain anything to the palace, don't worry." This palace will not snatch your lordship, and this palace has already had a sweetheart!"

Hear her say so. Roland was stunned and looked at her blankly.

Yin Xiang continued: "There is indeed an urgent matter in this palace, and now we have to meet General Lin in person, Miss Roland should go in and say hello!"

Knowing that Yin Xiang asked to see her, Lin Haotian sat up from the bed and asked Roland to invite her in.

Yin Xiang walked into the bedroom. After seeing Lin Haotian, she first gave a blessing, and then said with a smile: "Yin Xiang is really sorry to disturb your lord late at night! I just received a rumor from my father, who has agreed to buy Guankou City for five million taels." ”

Lin Haotian yawned. He sighed indifferently and said: "Although His Royal Highness King Yin has accepted Ben Shuai's bid, Ben Shuai still has to discuss and discuss with the generals under his command about the sale of the city. ”

Yin Xiang frowned secretly, five million taels was the price that Lin Haotian himself proposed, why did he have to discuss it again now? She asked, "General Lin has repented?"

"Of course not!" Lin Haotian said with a smile: "Ten days!" The princess will give Ben Shuai another ten days, and when the ten days are over, Ben Shuai will give the princess an explanation. ”

He proposed a ten-day deadline, mainly because after ten days, the reinforcement of the stone thrower could be basically completed, and his side would be able to launch the most ferocious attack on the pass city. It is good to be able to fight down, but if he can't fight again, Lin Haotian has no choice, and selling it to Chiguo is also a way out.

"Ten days?" Yin Xiang was stunned, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in her mind, and she suddenly remembered that Liu Lie had told her that the date when the Jin Army's stone throwers would be fully reinforced, and from now on, it will be almost the same in ten days.

She sneered secretly, and understood why Lin Haotian had to give him an answer ten days later, it turned out that he still wanted to storm Guankou City again and make a last stand.

Yin Xiang blinked, smiled, nodded and said, "Okay! Since General Lin has proposed a ten-day deadline, Yin Xiang can only stay in your military camp for another ten days." ”

Lin Haotian looked up and smiled, and said happily: "It's not bothering to talk, being able to entertain the princess of the Red Kingdom is also a blessing for my Jin Army!"

"General Lin is too polite. Lin Haotian and Yin Xiang each had ghosts, and chatted for a while, and Yin Xiangfang got up to say goodbye.

As soon as Yin Xiang left, Lin Haotian called Luo Lan in and said, "Immediately inform Shao Lin and Tong Lei, let our army spies keep an eye on Yin Xiang and the entourage she brought, and I will keep track of the actions of any of them at any time." ”

"Yes, sir!" Roland hurriedly agreed, turned and walked out.

Let's talk about Yin Xiang, after returning to his tent, he paced back and forth inside, his eyes kept turning. The Jin army wants to use reinforced stone throwers to directly attack the city lord's mansion at the pass, which is not without vigilance, but how can the Jin army crack these armored stone throwers?

Seeing Yin Xiang walking back and forth, the three middle-aged people guarding the side looked at each other, and then asked in a low voice, "Lord Princess, General Lin didn't agree to sell the city right away, did you...... He's got other plans?"

"Of course! He wants to attack Guankou City again! The location of Guankou City is important, and our country understands it, how can Jin Guo not understand that Lin Haotian will not sell Guankou City to China unless it is absolutely necessary. ”

"If the Jin army breaks through the pass city, then the princess's previous efforts will be in vain. ”

"Hmph!" Yin Xiang snorted and said, "Fortunately, this time we have gone deep into the Jin Camp, so we can know what the Jin Army is doing now." ”

Speaking of this, she paused suddenly, looked at the small oil lamp in the lampstand, her eyes suddenly lit up, she stopped, and said to one of the middle-aged people: "Mr. Xing Lei." This palace needs you to return to our camp immediately. ”

"Now?"

"Yes! right now. ”

The middle-aged man named Xing Lei had a straight face, walked forward, and asked, "What does the princess command?"

"Mr. Xing Lei, after returning to our army's camp, you immediately go to General Zhang Feng, the commander of the army, and tell him to prepare for the ...... immediately" Yin Xiang whispered in Xing Lei's ear. Xing Lei nodded while listening, his face unconsciously showing a confused look.

After Yin Xiang finished speaking, he asked, "Princess, this is ......?"

"Don't ask more, Mr. Xing Lei just do what the palace tells him. The corners of Yin Xiang's mouth were raised, and he said quietly: "The praying mantis catches cicadas, the yellow finch is behind, and the Jin army thinks that they can break through the pass city with a stone-throwing machine with armor, but in fact they are killing themselves!"

Xing Lei nodded. He saluted Yin Xiang again, turned around and walked out of the tent.

According to Yin Xiang's order, Xing Lei left Jinying overnight and returned to the mainland of Chiguo, twenty miles away.

It can be said that as soon as he left the Jin camp, the spies of the Jin army passed the news back to Shao Lin and Tong Lei, and the two of them did not think much about it, and ordered their respective spies to keep an eye on Xing Lei, but not to startle the snake.

There was nothing to say that night. By the evening of the next day, the Jin army spies returned to the camp of the Jin army.

Shao Lin and Tong Lei then found Lin Haotian. The former is still holding a jar in his hand.

After seeing Lin Haotian, Shao Lin spoke first: "Last night, after Yin Xiang left the adult's sleeping tent, he sent a personal guard to the Red Army camp not long after he returned. ”

"En!" Lin Haotian, who was checking the topographic map of Guankou City, didn't raise his head and said, "Last night, I postponed the sale of Guankou City for ten days. It is normal for Yin Xiang to send people back to Chiguo to report. ”

"But today, there is a change in Chiying. ”

"What kind of move, are you going to attack our army?" Lin Haotian asked casually, still absent-mindedly.

"That's not it, the Red Army is collecting robe cans in the surrounding villages and towns near the barracks. Shao Lin whispered.

"What?" Lin Haotian thought that he had misheard, and finally looked away from the topographic map. raised his head and looked at Shao Lin with a blank face.

Tong Lei nodded and said, "General Shao is right, the Red Army is indeed collecting clay pots everywhere. As he spoke, he handed the jar he was holding in his hand to Lin Haotian and said, "My brother also quietly stole one back. ”

Lin Haotian twisted his eyebrows, took the jar with a smile and a smile, took it in his hand, first looked at it repeatedly, then tapped with his fingers, and finally raised his nose to smell it, he shook his head and said: "This is an ordinary wine jar, nothing special?"

"Yes, my lord, the targets of the Red Army's recruitment are also ordinary people of the Red Country. ”

"How many are there?"

"There are countless of them, and the exact number is impossible to verify. Shao Lin replied.

"What can this thing be used for?" Lin Haotian raised the wine jar in his hand and played back and forth, and finally he sneered and said, "Is it used as a urinal?"

"Pounce!"

Shao Lin and Tong Lei both laughed out loud, yes, what can this kind of thing be used for? The Red Army's actions are really incredible.

Shao Lin restrained his smile and asked cautiously, "Could it be that the Red Army has already noticed the surveillance of our spies and intends to play tricks?"

Lin Haotian thought for a while, nodded, and said, "Well, of course there is this possibility, but it seems that there is no need for the Red Army to do this, it is really ridiculous to collect this by working hard to collect this!" As he spoke, he threw it away casually and directly threw the wine jar aside.

"Whoa!" the jar fell to the ground, shattering and splitting into several pieces.

The corners of Shao Lin's mouth curled, and he looked at Tong Lei with a smile, just such a ghost thing and brought it back to the adults to see, it was really too much.

The guards on both sides came forward and were about to collect the fragments of the wine jar, when Lin Haotian's figure suddenly shook and said urgently: "Wait a minute!"

Shao Lin and Tong Lei looked at him puzzled. I saw Lin Haotian slowly walk to the broken wine jar, then squatted down, picked up a piece of the wine jar from the ground, his eyes fell on his face, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Shao Lin and Tong Lei's hearts moved, and they immediately came forward, and the two of them also picked up a piece of fragment each, but no matter how they looked at it, this was an ordinary crockpot, and they couldn't see anything strange.

Shao Lin asked, "My lord, is there anything wrong with this wine jar?"

Lin Haotian shook his head slowly thoughtfully, the wine altar is very normal, there is nothing wrong, the key is that the Red Army's actions are too extraordinary. He stared at the fragment in his hand and asked, "You say, if these crockpots fall into the hands of the gateway city." What will be the consequences?"

Shao Lin and Tong Lei didn't understand what he meant, the two looked at each other blankly, and asked in unison, "What will happen?"

Lin Haotian stood up violently, walked back to the table, pointed to the topographic map of the case with tiles, and said, "Our army's stone thrower is going to hit the city lord's mansion in Guankou City. The best location is five zhang in front of the city. The stone thrower is here, you can hit the city lord's mansion, and you can avoid the obstruction of the city wall. The distance of five zhang can not be poured directly from the head of the city, but if you have these clay pots, it will not be the same, if you fill the fire oil in it, even an ordinary soldier can throw it five zhang away, you two can think about it, when our army is attacking the city. If tens of millions of bottles and cans filled with fire oil were to be thrown down from the city, and only one rocket would be needed to shoot at the end, all these stone-throwing machines that our army had worked so hard to put on armor would be destroyed. ”

After Shao Lin and Tong Lei heard this, they gasped in unison, the tent was very warm, but at this time, the two of them felt a burst of cold.

Yes, these seemingly insignificant crockpots, but at the time of the siege. But it is a sharp weapon that can restrain one's own stone thrower.

After being silent for a while, Shao Lin and Tong Lei reacted. The latter muttered, "But the Red Army is all in the Red Country, and it is impossible for them to send the collected clay pots to the Pass City!"

Lin Haotian's eyes froze, and he was silent in thought.

Tong Lei's mind turned, and he continued: "Unless the Yan army invades Chidi and forcibly supports the ...... of Guankou City."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Haotian's eyes suddenly lit up. Raise your hand and stop him from talking.

He said with a bright eye: "No, if the Yan army wanted to reinforce Guankou City, they would have sent troops a long time ago, and they would not wait until now." What's more, the Yan army didn't need to collect these crockpots at all to reinforce the pass city, just call them directly. ”

Speaking of this, Lin Haotian suddenly laughed on his back, and sighed: "I understand, why did the Red Army not confront our army head-on before, but blindly retreated, and continuously used delaying tactics, why is the grain and grass in Guankou City so abundant, why are the city defense resources so abundant, no matter how it is consumed, it will not only be consumed......"

Shao Lin and Tong Lei blinked and asked, "What do you mean by ......?"

Lin Haotian said: "If my speculation is correct, there must be a secret passage to the Yan Kingdom under the underground of Guankou City. The more than 200,000 Red troops stationed on the border of the Red Country are not here to attack the Red Land, nor are they to defend the Red Country itself, it is just a trick, it is this group of Red Army that is continuously transporting grain, grass and city defense resources into the Pass City through the secret passage, and the exit of this secret passage is in the City Lord's Mansion of the Pass City!"

After Shao Lin and Tong Lei heard this, they also burst into flames. Yes, with this secret passage, everything makes sense.

The small city lord's mansion has hoarded the military rations of 100,000 troops, as well as the city's city defense resources, no matter how you calculate it, it can't fit it, but with this secret passage to the Yan country, it is different, the resources of the Yan country can be transported into the pass city day and night through the more than 200,000 red troops, and even the wounded soldiers of the red country can be sent to the Yan country, get timely treatment, and then return to the city and return to the battlefield. And it is not difficult to dig this secret passage, Guankou City is located on the border, and it is only more than ten miles away from the Yan Kingdom.

No wonder the princess of Yanguo will come to Yankou County in person, no wonder the head of Yankou County dares to carry the banner of anti-gold alone when the court of the Red Kingdom is destroyed, no wonder Yankou County has so much money to attract the world's lower heroes to come to help in the war, and no wonder a small pass city can not defeat hundreds of thousands of troops on its own side, it turns out that all this has Yan Country behind them as a backer, the battle of Guankou City, not so much that they are fighting with the Red Army, it is better to say that they are at war with Yan State.

"What a bullshit shrub, this shrub is actually Yanguo!" Shao Lin figured everything out now, and couldn't help but be angry, from the moment he entered Yankou County, he was played by Yanguo in the palm of his hand.

Tong Lei took a deep breath and said faintly: "Yan Guo is now unwilling to have a head-on conflict with our country, so on the one hand, he secretly supports Guankou City, so that our army will not be able to attack it for a long time, and on the other hand, he comes out to make peace, and wants to spend some silver to buy Guankou City. ”

If it weren't for Yin Xiang's own cleverness, I'm afraid we would still be kept in the dark!"

Lin Haotian sneered, Chi Guo is really talented, I don't know who came up with such an idea for Yin Ji, if he knew who it was, he really wanted to meet this person.

Shao Lin took a deep breath and asked, "My lord, what should we do now?" Yin Xiang is a spy of the Yan Kingdom, staying in our army's barracks, the main purpose is to find out the intelligence of our army, and according to the opinion of the general, he should be arrested immediately!"

Lin Haotian waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry! Expose her now, that's too boring......" As he spoke, he lowered his head, looked at the topographical map of Guankou City, and fell into deep thought.

Tong Lei said in a deep voice: "Since the existence of this secret passage has been deduced, the last general thinks that it should be destroyed immediately, so that the defenders in the pass city will not be able to hold out for a few days." ”

"I'm afraid it's too late to destroy it now, and the crockpots collected by the Red Army may have already been transported to Guankou City. Lin Haotian muttered to himself, his fingers were also drawing the terrain map, and muttered: "Our army's attack can only be changed." ”

"What do you mean by ......"

"Give up hitting the City Lord's Mansion and focus on the inner city wall instead!" Lin Haotian showed a firm look on his face and said: "Fight the snake and hit the seven inches, the seven inches of the pass city, one is in the city lord's mansion, and the other is on the inner city wall." ”

When he raised his head, his eyes shot with a brilliant brilliance, and he raised his head to Shao Lin and Tong Lei and said, "Immediately go and gather all the generals and go to the Chinese military tent to discuss matters." ”

Shao Lin and Tong Lei hadn't fully figured out Lin Haotian's specific intentions, but seeing his radiant appearance, the spirit of the two of them was also raised, and the two of them simply intervened neatly and responded: "Yes......!
