Chapter 527: Your Majesty! Fan Xu, please be a pioneer!
Under the night sky, the burning birds are particularly conspicuous. Don't say that a thousand steps away, even ten thousand steps can be seen clearly.
Below the Xuanniao, there was no longer a group of ants that could not be seen clearly, but the clear faces of the Qin people who were illuminated by the firelight.
They held torches high, solemn and resolute, like stone carvings and wood sculptures that have no emotion and can stand for thousands of years.
Zhou Shi listened to Qin Feng and looked at Xuanniao.
After a while, he smiled lightly, frowned at his side, and wore a short beat.
"Does this group of Qin dogs know that your Chu State is here, and make a phoenix bird that is reborn from the fire to celebrate the restoration of your Chu State.
The phoenix bird is the totem of the Chu country, which belongs to the fire, and the rebirth of the phoenix bird has always been the legend of the phoenix bird.
Holding shields around him, guarding against the flints in the sky at any time, the soldiers who protect the safety of the general laughed together.
This not-so-funny joke didn't touch their laughing point, but the general's relaxed attitude really made them less nervous.
Chu Ren didn't laugh, he couldn't laugh.
The totem of the Qin State is the Xuanniao, and the Xuanniao belongs to the water, so the Qin State worships black and is called the water virtue.
Fire and water are incompatible.
The Chu people couldn't imagine that the Qin people would use fire to shape the Xuanniao because of some important event.
"If the generals of the Qin army don't want to burn themselves to death with this fire, this Xuanniao will definitely cause big trouble to the generals."
"What's the trouble?"
Zhou Shi's smile did not decrease, and his voice was much louder.
He pointed to the huge and friendless flame bird under the city, and said with sarcasm:
"They think this Xuanniao can break Linji? Even if it's a real bird and can fly, it can't do it! ”
"Hahahaha......"
A burst of laughter erupted again, and the relaxed atmosphere here completely dissipated some of the tension on the city wall.
The general can still talk and laugh, what can be the problem?
The Wei soldiers breathed a sigh of relief and turned their heads to look around, dodging what seemed to be more and more flints in the air.
They picked up the stone and smashed it hard at the place where the song was loudest.
Although there are more flints at night than during the day, the Qin Dog at night is far less fierce than the day, only the ugly Qin Wind is still loud, but what is the use of this?
No matter how loud the song is, it will also sing about the collapse of the high wall.
The Wei army, which was much easier than the daytime, was throwing stones and shooting arrows, and leisurely glanced at the burning bird.
Qin Feng, who is singing, is just like this burning bird, which is extremely ridiculous.
The louder the Qin wind, the more blazing and ridiculous the Xuanniao became.
"The general has an order! Defend tightly! Don't slack off! Beware, this is Qin Gou's arrogant strategy! ”
Dozens of heralds spread the orders of Zhou City throughout the city walls.
The contempt that had just budged in the hearts of the Wei soldiers was gone, and they cheered up again one by one.
The whole process was by Zhou City's side, and the Chu people who saw all the responses of General Wei were silently admired.
[A few words, a few actions, first go to the panicked heart, and then the contempt, Linji has Zhou City, and it is difficult for Qin Dog to enter. ]
He clenched his fists at Zhou Shi and said solemnly:
"After returning to Chu, the villain will make every effort to persuade me to join forces with Wei to resist Qin and support Linji in the fastest time!"
The general of the Rinzai garrison is such a cautious, knowledgeable soldier, and good use of soldiers. The Chu people believe that before the grain, grass and ordnance in the city are consumed, none of the Qin dogs outside can enter!
The two didn't notice that among the flints in the sky, a batch of "flints" took off slowly and lifted into the air......
After the tail of the Xuanniao, the second emperor and the generals all looked at the sky.
The young general Zhao Tuo swallowed his saliva and said what the generals wanted to say.
"What is this? How can you fly......"
A big basket.
A small tripod with a one-meter-high wall is fixed in the basket, and a large pile of black to shiny honeycomb coal is placed in the small tripod, and the two emperors call it refined coal, and the soldiers stand next to the small tripod.
On the basket is a large piece of animal skin, which has been treated by the Mo family and cannot see what beasts were covered before birth, and it is more impermeable, lighter, and thinner than before birth.
It was such a strange thing, the flame in the small ding was ignited, and the meter-long refined coal burned a meter-high flame, and the shriveled animal skin swelled up in front of the generals' eyes.
And then, flew.
Carrying the Qin soldiers wearing special armor, they flew.
"I call it a hot air balloon, it's useless."
The second emperor was unimpressed.
All the generals smiled bitterly.
People can go to heaven, and they say it's useless......
The most proficient at war was only the first time they saw it, and they thought of the role of hot air balloons on the battlefield.
Not to mention anything else, fly to a high altitude that can't be shot by sharp arrows, overlook the enemy, and know at a glance the arrangement of its troops, and can't hide it at all, which takes the lead!
"Disposable, calm."
The second emperor was very calm, and glanced back at Lu Sheng, Hou Sheng, Han Zhong and other Yin and Yang doctors standing behind him.
"Gentlemen, everything is ready, only the west wind is owed. Now that the time is near, where is the west wind? ”
The hot air balloon is automatic with the wind and cannot be manually controlled in direction.
Recently, the Yin and Yang Doctors who have been monitoring the heavens every day have pinched their fingers, or looked at the sky, or painted talismans in the air that only they can understand.
In a moment, Hou Sheng, who was good friends with Xu Fu before his death, stopped smiling.
Then, one by one, the Yin and Yang Doctors slowly stopped their operations.
They faced Linji City, and the wide robes and big sleeves suddenly floated forward in unison, frivolous and slightly trembling.
The sixteen Yin Yang Doctors clasped their fists together, bowed their heads together, and said in a loud voice:
"Your Majesty, the west wind has arrived."
The words fell, not for a moment.
The bird on the ground flapped its wings to the east, and the flames swished forward, as if they had come to life!
Hot air balloons in the sky swung towards Linji like flints with added power.
The west wind rises.
"Your Majesty! Fan Xu, please be a pioneer! ”
Standing side by side with Liu Bang at the end of the generals, among the generals, Fan Xu, who was the farthest away from the second emperor, walked in front of the second emperor and bowed down to ask for his life.
General Li Xin's anger swelled up, and his face sank like water.
Li Xin is a vanguard general, and Fan Xu's act of asking for a pioneer is more excessive than slapping him in the mouth.
[This butcher is so deceitful to read the letter!] He is a close confidant of His Majesty, and this is at the behest of His Majesty......]
"Not really."
The second emperor didn't think twice, and then turned his head to Li Xindao, who looked better:
"The pioneer that this butcher is talking about is not your pioneer, he wants to be a pawn and charge to the front line."
This explanation is very bad, but Li Xin didn't dare to believe it, and nodded with a face of "so it turned out to be like this".
How can anyone do it and the general still think about charging? The sword has no eyes, and the general and the last pawn are treated equally.
All the generals also thought about it, and they all thought that either Fan Xu was ignorant, or the second emperor was beating Li Xin.
Fan Xue raised his head and shocked the generals with a word.
"Fan Xu doesn't compete with His Majesty for the first merit, and His Majesty doesn't want to compete with Fan Xu for the first success, but what?"
Ying Chengchan: "......"
Generals: "???"
A quarter of an hour later, under the city of Rinzai.
Fan Hao put on armor, looked up at the city, and held a terrifying knife with a wide face and a palm-wide in his left hand, which was his dog butcher knife.
In his right hand, he held a wooden shield, and on top of the wooden shield was a dense straw. Stained with gold juice and foul-smelling straw, there were bad arrows and stones.
After nightfall, the Qin army did not attack the city at all, the siege was the straw above their heads, they just hid under the grass under the wooden shield and sang.
In the dark night, standing on the three-zhang high wall, the straw and people are all black, like ant colonies.
Bang~!
It's like a spring thunder!
Thousands of people singing can't hide this loud noise!
Fan Xu smiled, and the scene of the second emperor raising his gun to the sky during the drill and smoking from the muzzle of the gun appeared in front of him.
The face full of horizontal flesh formed a hideous face, and the time for the siege had come!
He held a wooden shield, shook off the straw, and erected a ladder, and all the Qin soldiers under the Linji city wall were also doing the same thing as Fan Xu.
They kept their mouths shut and riveted.
When attacking a city at night, it is indeed common knowledge that the location of the sound will be exposed.
