Chapter 29: The Prince's Tactics of War Reveal His Might

The night gradually covered the mountains, Zhang Yin went up the mountain to collect medicine, and came back with a full load of medicinal herbs.

Zhu Cijiao took the basket and put it down, immediately brought a basin of washing water, and said attentively: "Master has worked hard, you wash your face, and I will beat your back." ”

"Disciple, if there is anything, tell me." Zhang Yin knew that Zhu Ci always had something to ask him when he was courteous.

"Master, can you teach me the Invisible Skill? Now that Guilin is the enemy, I especially need the Invisible Skill to help. "Zhu Ciyi really has something to ask Zhang Yin.

"Apprentice, it's not that the master doesn't teach you, it's that you can't learn the invisible skill now, and it's too late to learn it now, what are you doing practicing the invisible skill?"

"Tomorrow the enemy army will attack Guilin, I want to stealth into the enemy army and call for poisonous bees to kill the enemy."

Zhu Cijiao could only tell the master truthfully, and perhaps the master felt that this matter was important and would take special action.

"The idea of the apprentice is really good, but it's too late to learn the invisible skill now, I'll do it for you!" Zhang Yin actually understood the righteousness so well and stepped forward.

"Of course it's good that Master can do it on behalf of the apprentice, but although you know the invisibility skill, you don't know how to call bees." Zhu Cijiao was a little disappointed after being moved.

"Who said I don't know how to call bees, this little trick can't be difficult Master! Don't worry, I'll go to Guilin to implement it. Zhang Yin said confidently.

"Master really can summon bees?" Zhu Cijiao looked at Zhang Yin with wide eyes.

"Of course." Zhang Yin nodded.

"Thank you, Master!" Only then did Zhu Cijiao remember that the dragon protection system had not yet fully awakened, and he could not leave the deep mountains, but fortunately, the master helped him at the critical moment.

"However, the enemy army will attack the city tomorrow, and the bee sting battle will be carried out the day after tomorrow, will Master rush to Guilin?" Zhu Cijiao thought about it and asked again.

"It's about two hundred miles from here to Guilin, so I'll leave tonight and arrive tomorrow night." Zhang Yin calculated the distance and said.

"With such a long distance and such a short time, can Master catch up?" Zhu Cijiao couldn't believe it.

"I can catch it, I have my own way." Although Zhang Yin is over the age of six, he has a spirit of not admitting defeat.

"Boy, I'm leaving." After dinner, Zhang Yin picked up a hat and set off.

"Master, stay safe, Senior Sister and I are waiting for you to return safely!" Zhu Cijiao and Buckwheat sent Zhang Yin to the mountain pass, and Zhu Cijiao waved his hand gently, feeling so sour that he couldn't do it.

"Apprentice, don't worry, Master will definitely complete the task successfully and come back safely." Zhang Yin's figure shook for a moment and disappeared, and he didn't know whether he was taking the water road or the mountain road.

The night gradually deepened, and Zhu Cijiao lay on the bed tossing and turning. He knew that tomorrow the enemy army would attack the city with a large army, and although Zhu Youlang had deployed according to his three major tactics, whether he could cooperate with the operation was very crucial.

"No, let's tell my father how to cooperate with the three major tactics." Zhu Cijiao thought like this in his heart, and consciously fell asleep.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Youlang was more anxious than him, and was already waiting for him in his dream.

"Cijia, when will the enemy attack the city? Do you have any intelligence? Zhu Youlang asked as soon as he saw Zhu Ciyu.

"Tomorrow morning, the Qing army will attack, and we must tell the officers and soldiers defending the city not to take it lightly." Zhu Cijiao replied.

"What will the enemy do to attack the city?" Zhu Youlang asked again.

"The enemy first took artillery strikes, then a rain of arrows, and we had to dislocate our defense."

"What is a misplaced defense?"

"That is, when the Qing army shelled, the officers and soldiers of the city guard first hid and waited for the shelling to pass before going up to the city wall. When the enemy is attacking the city with a rain of arrows, the archers borrow arrows from the planks on the city wall, and the gunners attack the enemy archers with dark bullets. ”

"Will the enemy launch a second round of attacks?"

"After the enemy archers were severely damaged by the shells, they will not be able to launch a second siege tomorrow."

"Will the enemy attack the city the day after tomorrow?

"At noon the day after tomorrow, when the enemy storms the city, I will summon tens of thousands of poisonous bees to attack the enemy, and when the enemy is attacked by a swarm of bees, the archers on the city wall will shoot thousands of arrows, and victory or defeat will be in one fell swoop."

"Okay, that's how I'll do it."

……

In the early morning of the next day, as Zhu Cijiao expected, the enemy army brought six cannons and opened fire on the city wall, and the rumbling cannons resounded throughout the city.

The enemy launched an artillery attack on the city, and the officers and men defending the city immediately retreated to avoid the shelling.

The enemy thought that the officers and soldiers defending the city were frightened away, and the six cannons fired at once, thinking that the heavy artillery could open a gap in the city wall.

Unexpectedly, the repaired walls were unusually strong, and gunpowder shells fell on them, only occasionally blowing up a wall brick.

The enemy bombarded indiscriminately, until the ammunition was exhausted, the walls were unharmed, and the cannonfire finally stopped.

"Archers, go up to the walls and borrow arrows."

Qu Shiyun gave an order, and more than 1,000 archers, holding bows and arrows in one hand and wooden planks in the other, climbed the city wall and pretended to shoot a few arrows.

Seeing this, the enemy hurriedly ordered 10,000 archers to step forward and shoot arrows at the city walls.

Suddenly, tens of thousands of enemy arrows flew up the walls, and the archers raised planks to catch the enemy's rain of arrows.

"Prepare the gunners and fire the guns." When the enemy fired the second round of arrows, there were not many arrows left in the quiver, and Zhang Yi, who commanded the hidden cannon inside the city wall, gave the order.

Suddenly, thirty-six artillery throwing points, and at the same time shells were thrown outside the city walls, and the shells formed a parabola in the air, which landed exactly in the enemy's bow and arrow array.

As the specially crafted cannonballs wrapped in chili noodles exploded, some of the enemy's archers were killed and some wounded.

Even if they weren't injured by the explosion, the chili noodles flew away, and they couldn't open their eyes, and they rubbed their eyes with their arms, and the more they rubbed them, the more they rubbed them, the more they became spicy, and they completely lost their direction.

More than 1,000 chili cannonballs were thrown, and the enemy outside the city walls was killed and wounded, blinded, and blinded, and became a pot of porridge.

"Shoot at the living." Qu Shiyun sensed that the fighters were coming, and ordered the archers on the city wall to fire arrows at the enemy.

Seeing that it was no longer possible to carry out the next round of siege, the enemy immediately ordered the withdrawal of troops.

Suddenly, the defeated enemy fled like a receding tide, and retreated five miles outside the city.

The enemy retreated, and Qu Shiyun ordered the soldiers to immediately open the city gates, clean the battlefield, and mainly collect the arrows left by the enemy, because tomorrow's battle of life and death will still be needed.

The soldiers who cleaned the battlefield picked up the arrows on the ground, and one by one pulled out the arrows that were shot at the enemy, each arrow still had blood on it, and tens of thousands of arrows were collected.

As night fell, Guilin City gradually regained its tranquility, but this tranquility is a palpitating tranquility, and no one knows if they will wake up tomorrow and will be under the city again.

However, today's results were almost zero casualties, and Zhu Youlang and all his officers and men were excited, cheering on the city wall, and their morale was unprecedentedly high.

It's a pity that Zhu Ciyu, who proposed the three major defensive tactics, failed to see the scene of the battle, and Zhu Youlang thought of telling him the results of the battle in his dream.

In a dream, Zhu Youlang met Zhu Ciyu.

"Ci Yao, my father told you that your tactics of borrowing arrows and hidden artillery were very effective, and we repelled the enemy's attack with zero casualties." Zhu Youlang happily told Zhu Ci about the battle.

"Okay, but you can't take the enemy lightly, although the enemy has been heavily damaged, they still have tens of thousands of troops, and they will launch a more fierce attack tomorrow." Zhu Cijiao did not forget to remind Zhu Youlang.

"Tomorrow's play, just as you said earlier! Still need to adjust? Zhu Youlang thought about it more carefully.

"If you don't adjust, there is no better way to fight, the enemy is strong and I am weak, so I can only do my best." Zhu Cijiao gave Zhu Youlang a hint that was not optimistic.

"I see. Tomorrow's bee sting battle is up to you. Zhu Youlang did not forget the promise of Zhu Ciyu in the previous dream.

"Okay, my master has passed, he will fight a good battle." Zhu Ciyu said this, which made Zhu Youlang feel a little more at ease.
