Chen Qiuming was not accustomed to this kind of crooked words with men, so he changed the topic and said: "After returning to Luzhou, the Jinguo College, the Business Academy and the Engineering Academy that I mentioned to you before should immediately start to open, which is the strong cornerstone of a country." ”

Li Cun obeyed the plan, waved his big hand and said: "It's all up to you, ask for money for money, and ask people to give people." ”

Seeing that the "boom" sound finally stopped, the people of Bianzhou City woke up from their confusion and panic, and even Zhu Youzhen, who was hiding from the palace, sent someone to ask, what was wrong?

Some people say that it is "heavenly punishment", some people say that it is "heavenly collapse", and some people say that it is "Lei Gong manifests", only the soldiers who survived from the city wall said that this is a kind of stone thrown by the catapult of the Jin army outside the city, which will make a loud noise like thunder, and can also burst into flames, smoke, and scatter all kinds of hidden weapons to hurt people.

In just ten rounds, hundreds of corpses were lifted down from the front city wall, and countless wounded were innumerable, which of course had a lot to do with the fact that the crowd was too dense.

Because all the Jin troops are at the North Gate, the city wall of the entire North Gate is less than a zhang wide, and the hundreds of meters long wall road is crowded with a large number of Liang troops.

Zhu Youzhen, who didn't figure out what was going on after inquiring for a long time, was furious, scolded a few eunuchs who ran errands, and actually personally brought people to the north gate to investigate.

Just wanted to go to the city wall, but was stopped by Liu Xun and Wang Chongshi, and when the stalemate was over, the people left behind on the city wall came down to report that the Jin army built a wooden bridge over the moat, which should be preparing to attack the city.

Zhu Youzhen was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly ordered to prepare for defense, so many soldiers who had been withdrawn returned to the city wall again.

In fact, where did the Jin army want to build bridges to attack the city, but Chen Qiuming ordered people to cut down some big trees, and simply made a few bridges, pretending to be attacking the city, the purpose was naturally to lure the Liang army to the city wall.

Seeing that the people were almost up, Chen Qiuming ordered again: "Ten consecutive rounds of preparation, launch!" ”

At this time, Zhu Youzhen, Liu Xun, and Wang Chongshi were also on the city wall, or Wang Chongshi reacted very quickly, and as soon as he saw the trebuchet start to launch, he changed color, and hurriedly dragged Zhu Youzhen, who didn't know the so-called Zhu Youzhen, down the city wall.

Just after taking a few steps, the explosion on the city wall began to sound again, Zhu Youzhen was so frightened by the earth-shattering explosion that his face was bloodless, and he actually sat directly on the steps.

Li Cunmiao, who was outside the city, witnessed Chen Qiuming's treacherous side, pointed to the craftsmen who were still "acting" and said, "Don't you can't bear to kill too much?" Why did he use a trick to lure the Liang army to the city wall? ”

Chen Qiuming said calmly: "Soldiers, treacherous. Ci is not in charge of the army, on the opposite side is the Liang army, and he is fighting a life-and-death war with you and me, how can I be allowed to have the slightest compassion? Besides, the more Liang Jun dies, the sooner the peaceful days of the world will come, of course, your enemies are not only Zhu Wen, if you want to pacify the world, there are many, many enemies you will face. ”

Only then did Li Cunmiao really have a deeper understanding of Chen Qiuming, although this person is sometimes merciful, but the objects of mercy are only ordinary people, and those he regards as enemies can also be ruthless.

Zhu Youzhen escaped under the protection of everyone, shivering from afar, and waited until this round of bombing was over, then asked the people around him tremblingly: "Li Thief has such an artifact, what should I do?" ”

Hearing this, all the people around him showed a blank look at this time, and even the bravest Wang Chongshi, whose mouth moved, was speechless.

With a bad idea, it was better to take advantage of the night to secretly evacuate from the south gate at night. But immediately invite reprimands, escape, can you still be faster than the cavalry? Even if a few people escape, how can they be worthy of the emperor's trust and respect?

Liu Xun sobered up and said: "Your Highness, I judge that the bridge just now to cross the river was just a trick by the Jin army to lure our army to the city wall, 20,000 troops crossed the river, where can such a narrow few wooden bridges be?" ”

"In the final analysis, the Jin army is still not good at attacking the city, and will only use this kind of conspiracy and tricks to take advantage of opportunism, as long as our army only leaves a few sentries on the city wall, even if the power of the Li thief artifact is amazing, it can't cause too many casualties."

Zhu Youzhen nodded when she heard this, this can only be the case for now.

Li Cunmiao under the city is worthy of growing up in the battlefield, and his vision for capturing fighters is very unique, he said to Chen Qiuming: "In the evening or even later, let's do another round, and then take advantage of the gap where the other party is dodging, send wolf riders to climb with flying ropes, can we quickly capture the city gate?" ”

When Chen Qiuming heard this, he said: "What if you capture the city gate? There are still tens of thousands of Liang troops in the city, which is not conducive to cavalry combat, and our army will inevitably suffer heavy casualties in short-handed combat, and it is unknown whether it can take Bianzhou, even if it is taken, the price paid is extremely heavy, and it can be drawn? ”

Li Cunmiao had never considered the problem from this angle, and retorted: "How can there be immortals in war? With the powerful combat power of our army, which one cannot defeat two with one? ”

Chen Qiuming looked at Li Cunmiao like a fool, and said with a smile: "There are 50,000 Liang troops inside, even if our army is one enemy and two, when our army is dead, the Liang army still has 10,000 people, you won't count this account?" ”

Li Cunmiao was stunned when he heard this, and he couldn't find any basis for refuting for a while. But he was actually just stunned by Chen Qiuming, fighting a war is never as simple as addition and subtraction, and examples of winning more with less abound.

Of course, Li Cunmiao is just talking, he has now made up his mind, to fight, he still listens to Chen Qiuming, this guy has unpredictable opportunities, the ability to turn clouds and rain, and even the artifact of "Thunder in the Sky" can be created, even if someone says that Chen Qiuming is the reincarnation of an immortal, he believes it.

In the evening, more and more wooden bridges were erected over the moat, and a small number of Jin troops had crossed the river and were assembling by the river.

Liu Xun, who got the report, was suspicious, how could there be a siege in the evening? After taking a look at the city wall, he ordered: "Go to the other half first, and then quickly go to the other half when the Jin army really starts to attack the city." ”

Chen Qiuming didn't have the patience to act a full set, and when he saw a lot of people, he directly ordered: "First ten consecutive shots, after a quarter of an hour, all the 'thundering thunders' will be killed, and then quickly retreat!" ”

The tragedy was staged on the city wall of Bianzhou again, and what was even more tragic was that after ten rounds of launches this time, the Jin army stopped launching again, and the Liang army habitually thought that this wave was over, not to mention that even the Jin army on the side of the moat went back to the other side, so a large number of soldiers were sent to treat the wounded or carry the corpses.

Seeing this, Chen Qiuming ordered again without hesitation: "Shoot all the 'thunder in the sky'!" ”

This scene, even Li Cunqiao on the side couldn't stand it, and said secretly: Bad guy! It's so treacherous, Lao Tzu likes to kill, but when don't you kill it above board?

This night must be the longest night in Bianzhou City, and countless people can't sleep. Zhu Youzhen and the others sat together in the middle of the night to discuss how to deal with the attack of the Jin army tomorrow, and finally discussed it, but when it was dawn, they found that the 20,000 Jin troops outside the city had disappeared without a trace.

The city gates in the four directions of the southeast, northwest, and northwest all reported that no trace of the Jin army had been found. Zhu Youzhen and the others had stayed up all night and were in a state of malaise, which would make them feel that their brains were a little insufficient, what kind of conspiracy was Li Cunmiao's dog thief playing?

After being frightened for a whole day, there was still no movement, and it was not until the second day that he carefully opened the city gate and sent some scouts out to inquire about the news, but he learned that there was no trace of the Jin army within a radius of dozens of miles......

At this time, Li Cunqiao and Chen Qiuming were already sleeping in Huazhou City.

It was almost effortless to capture Huazhou, at dawn, Chen Qiuming personally climbed the city tower and put down the drawbridge, the wolf rider bundled together with a large number of explosives, and blew the door open with a wild and indiscriminate bombardment, and the cavalry swarmed in, and the small city of Huazhou was in the hands of the Jin army.

After that, the Jin army copied the affairs of the Acropolis, confiscated the officials' family properties, plotted against the scholars, and recruited talents. A few days later, the Jin army, which had gained a lot, went all the way north under the farewell of a large number of family owners in Huazhou, and continued to march in the direction of Lanzhou and Weizhou.

When resting on the road, several generals of the Jin army gathered together to chat, originally from Luzhou, these people were still a little nervous, after all, it was a lone army deep into the hinterland of Liang State, there was not much food and grass, there were no reinforcements, it was inevitable that they were a little uneasy.

But who knew that the Jin army captured Weizhou all the way, shocked Bianzhou, and captured Huazhou, almost as easy as visiting your own backyard. 20,000 people entered the enemy territory, such as entering the realm of no one, even the Liang army's exploration horses, did not dare to approach within five miles, which made this group of Jin troops, how to call it a cool word, and shouted that the Liang army was a bunch of wine bags and rice bags.

In addition, the only thing that makes people a little unhappy is the military teacher, who invented a new thing called "General School Study Class", which makes people study, read, memorize maps, write experiences, and discuss and exchange at every turn.

Someone complained: "Lao Tzu joined the army at the age of fifteen and has fought for more than ten years, and I haven't heard of the matter of making lieutenants and lieutenants at all levels study and read all day long. The prince just trusts the military advisor too much and lets him do nonsense. ”

Some people also followed: "The military advisor is resourceful, but the whole person is also scheming, the last time Lao Tzu committed a crime in Huazhou, locked me in a small black room for two days and nights, no one spoke and had nothing to do, they were about to suffocate Lao Tzu, it was better to beat me with twenty military sticks." ”

Someone immediately retorted: "Guan Xiaohei is a bird, Lao Tzu learned last time that he was caught by the military advisor by finding someone to write on his behalf, and asked Lao Tzu to write 10,000 words... What a 'letter of repentance', 10,000 words, straight thief! Lao Tzu didn't even have time to go to the Qinglou in Huazhou for three days and nights, his hair was almost wiped out, his head hit the wall, and he didn't write 3,000 words. ”
