Sun Moon Mountain was always creating all kinds of surprises for them, from burning canisters to sharp weapons that could nail people to death a hundred steps away, all kinds of endless methods were something they had never seen before.

Just when Karasuma Nida was stunned, there was another sound of sighing in his ears, and when he turned around, several more people were shot under the horse!

"Withdraw!" Karasuma Nida shouted!

The city gates were closed, and Pu Xiru and the others had returned to the city, so there was no need for them to make fearless sacrifices.

This time, although a few people were lost, it was not for nothing for him.

At least, Sun Moon Mountain, a weapon with a long enough range and enough power, he has seen it!

Moreover, his most important purpose this time had been achieved from the moment Li Chengqian and the others reacted.

Seeing them retreat, Li Chengqian didn't dare to be careless.

He couldn't figure out the purpose of Lou Ning's doing.

It stands to reason that the role played by this Platts old man is not like this, if it is at the critical juncture of the siege, this old man jumps out to persuade the Platts to surrender, it will definitely play an unexpected role.

Therefore, Li Chengqian couldn't figure it out.

"Arrange for everyone to rest in batches, and be alert tonight." Li Chengqian said to Yi Yuanzhen.

Ihara Zhen patted his chest and said, "Your Highness, rest assured!" ”

Li Chengqian nodded and walked down the city wall.

Beneath the city walls, Pucci sat blankly beside the old man's corpse, without saying a word.

hated, and said ruthless words, but when the old man died in front of his eyes, he still couldn't hide his sadness.

"Your Highness, he said that he is not a traitor, not a ......" Seeing Li Chengqian, Pu Xiruo said with a painful face.

Li Chengqian patted him on the shoulder and said, "Mourning." ”

There is only so much he can do about it.

On the other hand, everyone was studying the arrows that Karasuma Nida had taken from the dead soldiers.

"What kind of bow can be so powerful?" Qiu Hao asked with a puzzled expression.

Lou Ning looked at it carefully, then handed the arrow to Dayan Mangjiebo, and said, "Your Highness, do you think this looks like a bed crossbow from the Tang Dynasty?" ”

They were all witnesses to the previous scene.

When the arrow came at a rapid pace, it gave them a great shock.

Dayan Mangjiebo took a closer look and said, "Like, but not very like, as far as I know, the maximum range of the Datang bed crossbow can reach four hundred or even five hundred steps, but you have just seen that although the range is far enough, it is far from the level of the Datang bed crossbow."

It's a bit of a simplified version of the Tang Dynasty bed crossbow, but this thing is a big threat to our siege. ”

Everyone nodded, this range, they have no ability to fight back at all, so they can only fill it with human lives. In this way, there will be heavy losses.

"I wonder if the shield can withstand it?" Qiu Hao asked.

Karasuma Nida shook his head and said, "It's difficult, just now that arrow came over, and it directly shot the person off the horse and nailed him to the ground, this power can't be stopped even if he is against the shield." ”

"Don't worry too much." "Even if they do, it won't be too many, and if there really are a lot of these small bed crossbows, General Karasuma won't be able to come back just now." ”

Everyone nodded, yes.

Immediately, Dayan Mangjie Bo asked again: "General Qiu, how many pairs of cloud ladders are there now?" ”

"More than a dozen pairs, this thing is easy to make and fast." Qiu Hao said, "By the way, I also got a few battering rams, but Your Highness also knows that our craftsmanship is very rough." ”

Speaking of this, Qiu Hao was also a little embarrassed, he went to take a look at it before, how to say it, it can be used, as for the rest, then forget it.

"That's enough." Dayan Mangyu said, "General Karasuma will go to rest first, and tonight after everyone has rested, he will attack at night." Even if they can't take it, they will be tired to death. ”

Dayan Mangjiebo thought more realistically, they had 6,000 men and horses, and they were attacking the city day and night, and they could exhaust Li Chengqian enough to choke when they were tired.

Karasuma Nida nodded, but didn't say anything.

As a soldier, it was his mission to go into battle and kill the enemy.

immediately said hello to a few people and left to rest.

And after he left, Lou Ning said: "Although there are not many people in Sun Moon Mountain, their variety of weapons is breathtaking.

Not to mention the small bed crossbow, not to mention the exploding canister, let's just say that their crossbow arrows, which can fire more than ten arrows in a row, are also something we have never seen before. ”

Speaking of this, Dayan Mangjiebo nodded, although he didn't want to admit it, but he couldn't help but admit the facts in front of him.

"In this respect, we are indeed inferior to the Han Chinese. When this is over, I will propose to my father Khan to increase the research on ordnance when I return.

However, no matter what difficulties you encounter at the moment, I hope that you will be able to overcome them.

It doesn't matter if we don't come, after all, those who don't know are not guilty.

But now that we're here and know that there is a rebel army here, if we still don't do anything, I'm afraid we can't say anything. ”

"Your Highness, rest assured, the Sun Moon Mountain will not break, and my Knowles will never retreat!" Lou Ning knew what Dayan Mang's words meant, and immediately expressed his attitude.

Besides, staying in Sun Moon Mountain was the best arrangement for him.

Then, several people discussed the details of the specific siege.

While they were discussing, Li Chengqian called Fang Yiai and others to his tent.

Although these guys don't have any skills, they are better at home, and it is difficult for them to let them go into battle to kill the enemy, but if they are braggadocio on paper, it is definitely a professional competition!

If nothing else, let's just say that those old guys in their family will get together every once in a while to reminisce about the past, and from time to time they will use some classic battles of the year as talking points to brag.

They have learned a lot of things, but they just don't have the opportunity to put them into practice.

There was a big table in Li Chengqian's tent, and everyone sat down around the table at this moment. Li Chengqian sat at the top and said, "You also know that now that the army is besieging the city, I want to hear your views on the current situation. ”

Speaking of business, everyone no longer hangs on their children, only Fang Yiai has been injured in the buttocks, so he sits there and twists and pinches.

"Okay, we know that your ass has made meritorious deeds, and you are down to business!" Cheng Chuliang teased the second child, who told this kid to pick them up with a long shelf in the past two days?

Anger them enough.

Fang Yiai glared at Cheng Chuliang angrily, and then said: "Your Highness, the army is not afraid of besieging the city, but I am afraid that they will besiege and not attack, first, it will cut off our food, and second, it can also wear down our will to fight."

After all, since ancient times, I have only heard of a thousand days of thieves, when have you ever heard of a thousand days of thieves? ”

"Don't worry about food." Li Chengqian said, "From the time I decided to base myself on Sun Moon Mountain, I have considered today's situation, you have not been here for a long time, you may not know, as far as the grain stored in Sun Moon Mountain is not to mention, eat him for three or five years, there is no problem at all." ”

On the same day, he asked Yang Lin and the others to almost empty the Cui family's grain depot in Jingyang.

So, now he really doesn't worry about this.

Hearing him say this, everyone was stunned, good guy, he had expected that there would be today?

"That's fine." After coming back to his senses, Fang Yiai said, "As long as there is enough food, everyone must still have the confidence to carry on, and the question now is how to maintain our willpower."

As long as they stay out for a day, even if they don't do anything, we have to guard against them for a day, which is extremely bad for us.

After a long time, we can't bear it ourselves.

After all, the energy they consume is not the same as the energy we consume. ”

I have to say that there are still some benefits to family history.

At least the question raised by Fang Yiai exists objectively.

And Li Chengqian has also considered this issue.

There's no such thing as a good solution.

Willpower, it's intangible.

If Dayan Mang's wave is ruthless and stationed on the opposite side for a year and a half, attacking and attacking the city from time to time, even if the Sun Moon Mountain is full of food, it will not be able to withstand it.

In the final analysis, the initiative is not in their hands.

"If you want me to say, just force them to do it." Li Jingren said, "If they keep besieging and not attacking, we will go to touch their nest at night, and the living can still suffocate their urine to death." ”

"Siege they will definitely siege the city." Li Chengqian shook his head, "The problem now is not whether they attack the city or not, but if they stay stationed here, we will be in a passive situation." ”

"And it's not a good idea to steal camps." Fang Yiai said, "There are five or six thousand people in their camp, how can they steal it?" Don't forget, our troops are already small, if the whole army presses up to steal the camp, the risk is too great, and the slightest mistake will make our Sun Moon Mountain fall into a state of no return. ”

Li Chengqian nodded and said: "Yes, it doesn't matter if they lose once, even if they lose twice or three times, it doesn't matter, because this is their territory after all, and they can still mobilize a steady stream of troops at any time." But we can't, we lose once, and we may have nothing.

In this battle, the margin for error is not the same for both of us. ”

"At the end of the day, we still have to force them to fight quickly." Someone said, "If you want to fight, don't burn." ”

Li Jingren said: "That's what it means, if you really want to consume it, it's very bad for us, as soon as they block here, we have no connection with the outside of the mountain." ”

"But how do you get them to do it quickly?" After Fang Yiai asked, he stopped talking.

There is no solution to this problem.

There are only two reasons for a quick victory, either the Sun Moon Mountain is gone, then it will naturally be a quick decision, or Dayan Mangjiebo and the others will lose, and it has to be the kind that has lost very thoroughly, which can also be solved quickly.

But the problem is that the former is not the result they want, and the latter they simply can't do it.

"Then you can only rely on Jiancheng to grind with them." Cheng Chuliang said, "Every time we attack the city, we must destroy their living forces to the greatest extent and slowly close the gap in our numbers......"

In an instant, everyone began to discuss.

And this discussion, everyone directly discussed until the second half of the night.

Not to mention, after discussing these, a group of people were full of interest, no one felt tired, and no one shouted sleepy.

And at this moment, there was a huge movement outside the valley.

The crowd, who were still blushing and thick-necked, suddenly stood up.

Li Chengqian walked directly towards the outside of the tent, and he guessed what this movement was.

Dayan Mang's wave is besieging the city!

As soon as he arrived at the tent, there were also many people who were also awakened outside the valley, Li Chengqian said: "It's none of your business, go to rest, on the city wall, there are the bravest warriors of the Ming Dynasty, don't worry." ”

Seeing Li Chengqian say this, everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and the relationship between them during this period of time made them trust their highness very much.

"If necessary, His Highness can simply command us." Someone said, "Although we are women's families, we can always help." ”

Li Chengqian said with a smile: "If you really get to that point, you naturally have to let them see the heroines of our Ming Dynasty." Now it's okay, everyone goes to rest first. ”

Although he said that, Li Chengqian was actually nervous to death.

He never thought that Dayan Mang's wave would organize an attack on the city in the middle of the night, although he had explained to Ihara Zhen before, but he didn't know what he did.

When they heard him say this, they did not say anything more, and soon the group went back to their respective tents to rest.

But Li Chengqian went directly to the valley.

Fang Yiai and others naturally followed.

After a short time, everyone passed through the first city wall and saw that everyone was killing the enemy in an orderly manner, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

They were afraid that Ihara Zhen didn't hold it!

Before they had reached the city wall, they heard a word from above, and they fired arrows...... The sound of commands such as opening the bow sounded rather urgent, but it was quite safe.

"What's the situation?" When he went up to the city wall, Li Chengqian grabbed someone casually and asked.

The man saw that it was Li Chengqian, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "Back to Your Highness, the other party is attacking the city, probably trying to use the night to carry out a sneak attack, but they have too many soldiers and horses, and the movement is too big, so the centurion asked us to give them some color to see." ”

Li Chengqian nodded and said, "Go get busy, be careful." ”

"No need, the centurion has explained, if His Highness comes down, whoever touches His Highness will get out of the battle and protect His Highness." As the man spoke, he shouted a few more people, and he really broke away from the battle and protected Li Chengqian.

said that it was a blessing, but in fact, it was just to block in front of Li Chengqian as a meat shield to prevent stray arrows.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian didn't say much, this was their kindness, and refusing to do so chilled people's hearts.

"Your Highness, I'm ......" Fang Yiai rubbed his hands and looked eager to try.

Cheng Chuliang and they are also staring at Li Chengqian, this is a good opportunity to make meritorious contributions!

These guys even brought their own bows and arrows just now, and if they refuse them at this time, they will probably be able to suffocate them to death.

"Stay safe." Li Chengqian said.

As soon as they heard Li Chengqian's words, Fang Yiai and the others suddenly said excitedly: "Okay! ”

"Cheng Lao Er, Li Lao Er, you each bring three people, let's compare, who killed the most enemies tonight!" Fang Yiai suddenly shouted.

Cheng Chuliang also waved his hand: "Compare and compare, who is afraid of whom?" ”

With that, several people went their separate ways.

Fang Yi loves this guy, he is as powerful as a cow, and a huge bow is on the city wall, which also makes everyone speechless!

With his bow, ordinary people can't pull it open.

Li Chengqian walked up to Fang Yiai and looked down, black and rumbling, and couldn't see anything clearly.

"Where are you centurions? Go and call him. Li Chengqian frowned, this is not a method.

With only the light of the fire on the city wall, people can't see anywhere, how can this battle be fought?

As for Karasuma mud to reach them, hehe, they really don't mind.

Anyone who walks at night knows that even if there are no street lights in the middle of the night, it doesn't mean that you can't see your fingers.

Moreover, the terrain outside the valley is relatively flat, and there is still fire on the city wall as a guiding light, which really has no effect on them.

However, this is distressing for the people on the city wall.

They can't see it.

They are already in an environment with a strong light source, and there will be a visual bias in the place where the light source is weak.

This deviation makes it difficult for them to see everything under the city walls clearly.

"Your Highness looking for me?" Ihara asked.

"Huh......" Li Chengqian sighed, Yi Yuanzhen is good at everything, but he is inexperienced, and he still has a long way to grow, "Arrange two chiefs, let them take turns to shoot rockets for me, the black rumbling below, how to fight this battle?" ”

After Li Chengqian finished speaking, Yi Yuan Zhen slapped his head and said, "Why didn't I think about it?" Your Highness, don't worry, I'll make arrangements. ”

Soon, more than a dozen rockets soared into the sky, and since then, rockets have continued.

Through the faint light of the rocket, Li Chengqian also roughly saw the situation below.

And Fang Yiai is a thief, hearing that Li Chengqian asked people to release the rocket, he kept waiting, and after the light of the rocket illuminated below, Fang Yiai seized the opportunity, gathered an arrow, and hit one person in the neck impartially.

Li Chengqian, who happened to see this scene, was suddenly shocked, gave Fang Yiai a thumbs up, and said, "Your archery skills are good!" ”

"Your Highness has a good reputation." Although Fang Yiai is modest on the lips, his face is quite proud.

Li Chengqian smiled and didn't mind.

This guy has the capital to be proud.

And at this moment, the trebuchet roared and threw two fireballs at the enemy.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian smiled.

Ihara Zhen is not stupid, he knows that he can draw inferences from one another.

If the alcohol jar is lit, it will be much stronger than the light of the rocket, Li Chengqian quipped: "Did you see those two fireballs?" Can they be shot before they hit the ground? ”

When Fang Yiai heard this, he immediately pulled his bow and arrows in one go.

After a moment's effort, I only heard a bang, and the fire soared into the sky!

And Ihara Zhen, who had just turned back, saw this scene and immediately praised: "Good archery!" ”

Fang Yiai smiled, but didn't say anything.

"Your Highness, why don't you let this brother shoot those jars for us? If you get a few more, the guys below will have nothing to hide later. Ihara said.

Li Chengqian nodded and said to Fang Yiai: "Can it be done?" ”

He didn't ask Fang Yiai's opinion, but asked him if he could do it, man, no matter what age a man is, there is only one choice in the face of such a question.

"Of course it works!" Fang Yiai said without hesitation.

Originally, he was a little unhappy that he couldn't kill the enemy, but he could refuse the question of whether he could do it?

------Off topic------

I may just change it today, and I'm afraid of a power outage tomorrow, so I'll write another chapter tonight to prepare for tomorrow.
