In the dark yellow tent, Li Xuan sat alone in front of the low table, looking solemn.

The green bamboo pen in his hand quickly sketched on the paper.

A miniature version of a catapult, a high and upward parabola, and a green hill sketched in a simple stroke, all appeared in his pen.

"The fireball still has to be half a pound lighter, and the throwing arm pole has to be a foot longer."

Li Xuan muttered to himself, a long dotted line had been drawn out, and finally it was only more than twenty meters away from the peak of Qingshan......

"Lord Wang!" A voice rang out at the door.

Li Xuan subconsciously raised his head, his expression slowed, and said, "Come in."

Yu Ze lifted the curtain and walked in, and the corner of his eye swept over Li Zhu in the corner of one side.

Li Zhu was hidden in the shadows, as if he couldn't see it, but he was there.

Walking up to Li Xuan, Yu Ze arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, the soldiers of the Huiji Mansion attacked for a day today, but at most they only attacked the mountainside, and they were smashed down by rolling stones and trees...... There are so many rolling stones and trees on the mountain that it's like there's no end to it."

"How can there be no end." Li Xuan put the bamboo pen aside, looked at Yu Ze with some amusement, and said, "At most, there are people who keep transporting it from behind, and the constant attacks are always consuming on the top, but at this time it is manpower that is consumed."

Li Xuan looked up at the door and said with a serious expression, "Today, what Duan Dudu used was actually just a false shot."

Yu Ze suddenly understood: "It turned out to be the prince's tired strategy."

Li Xuan picked up the rice paper on the table and threw it into the basin on the side, which quickly soaked the rice paper.

A bamboo pole stretched in, and in the blink of an eye, everything in the basin was completely stirred into a mess.

"Let's go, let's go out and have a look."

Li Xuan picked up the eight-sided Han sword placed on the table, then straightened his clothes and armor, and walked out of the camp.

As soon as the curtain was lifted, a commotion suddenly came into my ears.

Li Xuan looked up, and suddenly saw a black object being thrown into the air, and then smashed on the mountainside.

It exploded with a "pop".

"Those are long shields!" Yu Ze stood on one side and introduced to Li Xuan, "Duan Dudu threw the long shield halfway up the mountain, so that after the soldiers rushed halfway up the mountain, they could easily use the long shield to stabilize their position; In the same way, because of these long shields, the top of the mountain has to keep smashing down rolling stones."

Li Xuan nodded lightly, the usefulness of these long shields is not difficult to see.

When he was in Meiling Pass, Fang Fengjin used this method,

On the mountainside in the distance, a dozen soldiers were very careful to avoid the rolling stones overhead, then grabbed their long shields and immediately retreated to the sides.

The long shield was placed diagonally, and the rolling stone wood on the top of the mountain fell, and immediately rolled towards the center.

All of a sudden, all the rocks and logs were confined to a small area in the center, and the speed of the follow-up soldiers rushing up the mountainside immediately increased greatly.

"Lord Wang, more than a hundred meters, can you rush up?" Yu Ze looked at Li Xuan with some hope.

Li Xuan shook his head slightly and said, "If you don't care about it, you can rush up, but what about after you rush up?"

"Huh?" Yu Ze didn't understand what Li Xuan meant.

"After rushing up, everything is no different from the original Meiling Pass." Li Xuan turned around and walked out towards another place where the craftsman was.

Yu Ze's face immediately became solemn.

When it was in Meiling Pass, the Tianyin Sect killed and injured thousands of people.

Although Meiling Pass was finally broken, it was also burned clean by Li Xuan.

If they follow the example of the Tianyin Sect of that day, they will inevitably fall into the same fate today.

Once their forces are too badly damaged, it is difficult to say whether they can continue to encircle and suppress, and if they are not, they may even be forced into Muzhou by the Tianyin Sect's counterattack.

Yu Ze followed Li Xuan closely and looked back at the front of the camp in the distance.

Standing among the countless soldiers

Before, Duan Baoxuan looked like he was in command, and he couldn't tell that this was covering for Li Xuan at all.

Yu Ze knew in his heart that Duan Baoxuan and Li Xuan had the same concerns, so this battle to attack the mountain seemed lively, but in fact, the troops used were not even one-twelfth of the entire army.

Duan Baoxuan was counting on Li Xuan, in fact, the other people in the entire camp were not counting on Li Xuan in the same way.

"Three-stage thrower." Li Xuan pointed to the newly improved catapult and said in a deep voice to the many catapult soldiers, "The short arm is used to throw boulders, the middle arm is used to throw rolling stones, and the long arm is used to throw fireballs.

There are three types of fireballs, one is a fireball made of wood fireballs, one is a fireball made of tung oil grass, and the other is a fireball made of soaked grass, and three types ......."

Li Xuan told the time and method of different fireballs one by one, and before he knew it, it was already sunset.

The surroundings suddenly fell silent, Li Xuan raised his head, and at a glance saw Qiu Shenyu standing on the side, extremely solemn.

is also serious, as well as Huai Jin, Xue Qianfeng, Li Ji, Pei Xuan and others who are standing not far away,

A burst of pressure has come silently.

Li Xuan stopped his movements and turned around and handed over: "Zhonglang General!"

"Twenty-seven!" Qiu Shenqi looked at Li Xuan with a rare solemnity, and asked solemnly, "Have you prepared for tonight's offensive?"

Li Xuan glanced back at the many soldiers and catapults, turned to look at Qiu Shenqi, and replied seriously, "It will start in an hour."

"Good!" Qiu Shenqi immediately breathed a sigh of relief, he bowed his hand slightly apologetically, and said, "Today, a total of 200 soldiers from Huiji Mansion and Huangshan Mansion were either injured or killed, if we can't take Heilongling again, the price we will pay will be even greater."

Li Xuan nodded solemnly, and then looked straight at Qiu Shenxuan: "It's not difficult to attack the Black Dragon Ridge, and it's not difficult to set up a bridgehead, it's rare to hold it under the counterattack of the Tianyin Sect, and then take the entire Black Dragon Ridge in one fell swoop, it depends on the efforts of General Lang and the others."

Li Xuan is at most a person who comes to give ideas, and the one who really fights the Tianyin Sect head-on still has to rely on these people in front of him.

"As long as you can stand on the top of the mountain, then next, if you can't take it down, the prince can directly cut off the heads of us." Qiu Shenqiu's expression was extremely cold, and although his voice was not loud, it spread far away.

Suddenly, everyone not far away had clearly heard Qiu Shenyu's words, and their faces changed slightly.

"Don't dare, taking the Black Dragon Ridge is only one of the battles, and then there is the Tianyin Sect General Altar, and the Empress Yuan, everything depends on you." Li Xuan bowed slightly to everyone.

At this moment, everyone's faces couldn't help but change slightly, and they hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Don't dare, everything is within the duties of the lower officials."

If the previous sentence was said by Li Xuan as a member of the army, then in the latter sentence, he said it as the king of the current dynasty, and even faintly represented the entire royal family.

None of the people present were deaf, and they had heard some rumors.

Not to mention, the two in front of him, one is the former Jin Wuwei Zhonglang General, and the other is the inspection Qianniu Wei Zhonglang General.

Just these two people, before this incident, took office in Wuzhou and Shezhou on both sides of Muzhou at the same time, which is enough to show that the sage is looking at it.

Li Xuan stood up, looked at everyone solemnly and said, "This king still needs to make a little preparation, please take care of yourself."

"Excuse me!" Qiu Shenyu immediately surrendered his hand, and then turned to leave.

The others left with them.

Li Xuan turned back to gather a large number of pitchers for a nervous set-up.

Now almost everyone's eyes fall on them, and they can't help but not be nervous.

Huai Jin followed Qiu Shenyu into the distance, and finally lifted the curtain and flashed into a tent.

One water tank after another was placed directly in the tent, and more than a dozen soldiers buried their heads deep in the water tank.

After sixty breaths, there was a "bang", and more than a dozen soldiers raised their heads one after another, and then took a big breath.

The soldiers quickly retreated to one side, tight

Followed by more soldiers from behind, they stepped forward from behind, and buried their heads in the water tank.

Huai Jin and Qiu Shenqi watched all this, at this time, Huai Jin looked sideways at Qiu Shenqi and said in a low voice: "The training method of the King of Nanchang is very simple, it is a simple breathing training, and then hold your breath, hold your breath, and if you can hold it, he will stay."

"Why is he practicing breath-holding?" Qiu Shenqi suddenly opened his mouth and looked at Huai Jin, as if a trace of doubt suddenly flashed: "It is said that sneaking in the dark, even if you don't make a sound, you don't even need to breathe, what can you do within a hundred breaths?"

"Who knows, the king of Nanchang must have his own ideas." Huai Jin shrugged indifferently.

Qiu Shenqian waved his hand, and said with a solemn face: "King Nanchang is not the kind of person who is careless, he has his own ideas and designs for everything, his mind is extremely fine, and if he doesn't notice a small place, he is likely to suffer a big loss."

Huai Jin seemed to be woken up all of a sudden, he sighed slowly, and said, "Indeed, the king of Nanchang is not that simple."

Thinking of the losses he had suffered at the hands of Li Xuan, Huai Jin was heartbroken, but he also had to admit that what Qiu Shenqian said was reasonable.

"But what is his intention to do this, rest, rest, these two days are not like rain, the wind is also a west wind, the fire attack is not at all, what does he want to do?" Huai Jin looked at Qiu Shenyu with a puzzled look.

Qiu Shenqi thought about it for a long time, and he didn't know how many explanations he had in his mind, but it didn't make sense after all, he finally shook his head and said, "You still need to keep an eye on King Nanchang to see how he arranges, there are always clues."

"Not bad." Huai Jin's face revealed a hint of ruthlessness.

Two middle-aged people in their forties, calculating that Li Xuan, a child less than twenty, did not feel embarrassed at all.

Half an hour later, the two men returned to the place where the catapult had been placed.

However, everything has been put in place, but Li Xuan is missing.

There was only Qiu Zhenmu beside the catapult, standing on one side in red clothes and gold armor.

Qiu Shenqi stood there very steadily, and did not come forward to ask, but Huai Jin, looking restless.

The time soon came, and suddenly, Qiu Zhenmu didn't wait for Li Xuan to appear, and directly raised her right hand and shouted loudly, "Throwing stones."

Twelve fireballs had been thrown halfway up the mountain in an instant, and the firelight instantly illuminated the halfway up the mountainside.

At the foot of the mountain, a group of black-clothed soldiers had begun to climb the mountain slowly.

"Shiro, King of Nanchang, why didn't you come?" Qiu Shenqi finally couldn't help it and looked at his own nephew.

"Uncle, it's been a whole night tonight!" Qiu Zhenmu turned her head sideways and looked at Qiu Shenyu, feeling a little helpless and a little funny.

But then, he said with a serious face: "Back to General Zhonglang, the prince is recuperating at the moment, and he will appear in the second half of the night."

In the second half of the night, recharge your energy.

Huai Jin immediately understood that he was tricked by the king of Nanchang.

All of his methods were useless.
