After the official work is over, Rui Liangfu still does not forget to care about Kui Duoyou's private life: "Ziliang, I heard that my younger brother and sister are pregnant?"

Kui Duoyoujun's face flushed slightly, and he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart when he thought of his gentle wife, and said in a low voice, "How did such a trivial matter still reach Hojing?"

"It's not that I'm troublesome, it's actually Zimu who specially instructed me to ask. It's not easy to say that you have been adrift for many years, and now you have finally settled down in a home. I was afraid that there would not be enough experienced servants in the house, so I specially assigned Uncle Mi to bring a few capable mothers-in-law to help, and they were already on the way."

"If you have a friend like this, what more can you ask for!" Kui Duoyou said with great emotion.

"Who's to say it isn't! Sometimes, I really envy you!" Rui Liangfu suddenly changed his words: "Ziliang, why didn't your book go straight to Wang's study, but to the Prime Minister's Mansion?" The king has already been crowned pro-government!"

Kui Duoyou was stunned: "It has always been like this before, I didn't turn a corner for a while, I thought about letting Zimu see the check first, but I didn't think much about it. What?" His heart tightened: "Isn't it going to cause any trouble to Zimu? I heard that now Rongyi is becoming more and more important to the Son of Heaven in the court, but ------- "If you hand over a handle to your friend's political enemy because of your own letter, then your own sin will be great!"

Rui Liangfu saw that his face suddenly turned gloomy, and suddenly felt that his words were serious, and said with a slight smile: "How can it be so serious? It's just a book. Rong Yi does have to rely on it, but Zimu and the king know each other well, and the teacher-student relationship is heavy, and it is not just a day. I'm just talking about it for nothing, to remind you of it."

"In this way, I am relieved." Kui Duoyou breathed a sigh of relief.

The two armies of Tonglu Mountain have been lined up in their respective camps, and a big battle is about to break out.

In fact, this time, the more than 30,000 elite soldiers brought by Ejun were mainly cavalry, good at riding and shooting, and the mountain defense war had no battlefield of flying horses, so they could only give full play to the strengths of the knights' good shooting, and combine with the infantry bow and crossbow battalion as a barrier, turning the open space under the copper green mountain into a place of death covered by arrow rain.

Eshizikun ordered the ordnance battalion to hoard a large number of bows and crossbows and long arrows in the abandoned mine caves in the mountains on both wings, and stepped up to produce large bows and crossbows that fired long-range shots and large arrows that could pierce through the shield cloud chariot. At the same time, he also ordered the construction of an arrow-making workshop on the left and right hills, and hurried to make and repair bows and arrows at any time. In addition to all kinds of bows and arrows, he also ordered the Liushan miners and the soldiers of the Hubei army to cut down large trees and saw them into rolling wood, chiseled and polished the mountain stones into two kinds of stone weapons - sharp horned stones that can be carried by a single person, and rolling stones that can be pushed by several people, and hoarded as many boulders and logs as possible between the two mountains.

The flank battlefield on both sides of the Ekun was mainly defended and suppressed by bows and crossbows, while the 15,000 men led by Ejun in front were divided into ten battalions and stationed in turn, with 1,500 soldiers in each battalion, and the camps were 500 meters apart, extending backwards one after another, reaching the deep valley of the Tonglu Mountain. E Jun's orders were: every two battalions were a defensive round, the front battalion fought, and the rear battalion transported military food weapons and camera response; Rotate every three days to ensure high morale and full of energy.

Most of the defensive equipment of the Hubei army was concentrated in the 10th battalion in front, and there were organs everywhere along the way, and the roadside was also covered with various barricades and pits, as well as handy throwing weapons, and the walls were very tight.

On the third day of the siege of Copper Green Mountain, the Sui army began its first onslaught.

Sui Hou personally came to the front army and boarded a scout cloud car more than ten meters high, and the commander of the army, Yun Che, stood majestically in the army at the foot of the mountain. With a bird's-eye view of the scout's cloud car, the battlefield situation is clear at a glance. Looking at the two mountains on the outside of the copper green mountain, there is a faint flag fluttering on the top of the left mountain, but it is far away from the hidden army area of the mountain forest, and it is obviously not the command platform of the general.

But he miscalculated, and E Jun stood there and saw the tall cloud car standing abruptly above the flat ground.

"If you go out with the marquis, you will give the army a headache!" Looking at the cloud car from afar, E Jun resolutely ordered.

Before the herald Sima returned, the war drums of the army had already thundered.

This time, 30,000 troops were dispatched with the army, and their deployment for tackling key problems was: strong crossbowmen of 5,000 people on each side of each flank, pouring arrow rain into the woods of the two mountains to suppress the defending Hubei army in the two mountains; The attacking army in the central valley was divided into three formations from the back to the front: the rear formation was fifty large long-range crossbow machines; One row for every two large crossbow machines, arranged in twenty-five rows in a row; The phalanx in front of the crossbow machine is a sharp warrior with three thousand shields and short swords, one column for every three soldiers (fifteen people), lined up in a long snake formation of two hundred columns; Foremost

It is a large siege equipment to clear the passage of the canyon, mainly trench carts and large ladders.

This is the first battle, and the soldiers swear to avenge the seizure of Tonglu Mountain, and the morale is even stronger.

The sun climbed to the top of the mountain, and the early summer mountain breeze still filled the cool air. The thin morning mist had dissipated, and the red army formation on the plain and the brown banners of the two mountains were clearly visible. What is unusual is that the two sides did not make the slightest sound, as if the tiger and the lion met in a narrow way, and they were quietly judging each other in the confrontation.

"From—"

Just as the hour came, the attendants on the cloud car roared.

Suddenly, the war drums thundered and the horns whined, and the three strong crossbow and arrow arrays of the army were launched together, and the sound of the wooden bangs was as dense as a torrential rain, and the long arrows in the sky roared towards the mountains on both sides and the front pass.

At the same time as the salvo of the crossbow was fired, the attacking infantry army in the center of the army was immediately launched. The first row is the trench wagons, clearing the barricades, scraping off the ground and leveling the ground, and then quickly laying the trench wagons all the way through the dark canyon. The passage was opened, and the ladders and key soldiers rumbled forward, and the large crossbow machines that followed also continued to advance, pouring arrows and arrows into the mountain repeatedly. In less than half an hour, the red entourage gradually approached the pass.

The terrain under the pass opened up slightly, and the accompanying troops immediately converged into a siege formation.

Rao is situation is so critical, the two mountains of the Hubei army and the oncoming Guancheng are still not moving.

"Rocket—" With Hou Yaoyao's roar, the cloud car immediately swept three waves.

The three major arrows suddenly stopped, and suddenly the sound of bangs resumed, and a large area of spears and arrows tied with fierce fire oil rushed straight to the two mountains and Guancheng with whistling fireworks, like a fire dragon flying in the valley. In a moment, the two mountains and forests were closed to a sea of fire on three sides, burning the entire valley red.

"Attacking the mountain—"

The war drums of the army sounded again, and the ten ladders in front of them rumbled in a row towards the city, like a big red wall as high as the wall of the gate. At this time, there was a remnant of fire and smoke at the head of the bronze green pass, and the ten ladders were already two feet away from the wall, and the soldiers in the rear had already launched a charge and climbed the ladders one after another.

At this moment, a terrible trumpet suddenly sounded, and a brown wall stood behind the battlement.

The Hubei army began a fierce counterattack. A rain of arrows mixed with rolling logs and rocks shot at the besieging soldiers and smashed into the large and small ladders. There were also a few terrible furnaces wandering in the battlements, and when they saw the ladder approaching, they poured red copper water on their heads, and the towering ladder immediately rumbled and collapsed in the smoke of the fire.

The furnace walker can push the walking furnace also. It is set up at the head of the city to smelt copper or molten iron, and when it is launched at a critical moment, it pours red copper and iron from the mouth of the furnace, and even if you are well-equipped, you will immediately see it burn and collapse.
