Chapter 62: Black Clouds Crush the City

The weather in Saibei is as unpredictable as a girl's mind, and the sun is still high in the morning, but in the afternoon it becomes a black cloud overpowering the city.

The harrier eagles in the sky delivering letters swayed in the wind, and from a distance it looked like a kite with a broken string was about to be blown away.

Looking at the already dark half of the sky, all the soldiers on the city wall hid behind the battlements to avoid the wind.

All of them are now praying that it will not rain, and if it rains in this cold weather, their soaked clothes will quickly freeze into ice cubes.

It would have been nice if it had snowed, but at the moment it doesn't look like the clouds are going to snow.

However, there is also an advantage to rain, that is, the people of the steppe tribe generally do not choose rainy days for siege.

This is because when it rains, the bowstring will loosen when it rains, making it difficult to use the bow and arrow.

At the same time, the siege equipment they originally used to siege the city will also be greatly affected, especially the return cannon noose and bowstring that will be greatly ineffective if they are damp.

The fireballs fired by the return cannon will also be extinguished by the rain, so the lethality will also be drastically reduced.

Outside the big tent of the steppe tribe, Muhua Li Falcon was standing on the watchtower and watching the rain clouds in the distance.

"Lord Shaman, in the past few days, we have frequently mobilized troops between Yunzhong County and Shanggu County according to your plan, and their reinforcements have been running back and forth many times in the past few days."

Wan Qi Haiyin followed Mu Hua Li Falcon's side and said happily.

"Looks like our wolves have driven these sheep well."

Muhua Li Falcon didn't look back, he was still looking at the rain clouds in the distance, and his hand was still tapping on the stake of the lookout, as if he was calculating something.

"Yes, according to our spy report, the soldiers of the two armies of Yunzhong County and Shanggu County are now complaining, and many people have begun to question the command ability of their commander."

Murong Qinyou bent over and said flatteringly.

"Yes! It seems that the sheep are starting to get tired. ”

Mu Hua Li Falcon nodded in satisfaction.

"Then I wonder if the shaman plans to start the official action when the shaman is shaman?"

Wan Qi Haiyin pushed Murong Qinyou away, leaned over to Muhua Li Falcon's side and asked.

These days really make him anxious to wait, seeing that the white plague of the grassland is getting closer and closer, they are still lingering outside the Great Wall of the Dayu Dynasty, and the sons and daughters of his tribe are almost unable to hold back.

"It's already about to start, don't you see the help that the wolf king god has given us!"

As he spoke, he pointed to the rain clouds that were getting closer and closer in the distance.

"The help of the wolf king god? What do you mean by that, Shaman? ”

Wan Qi Haiyin looked at the mountain-like rain clouds in the distance with a puzzled expression, and was very puzzled.

"Shaman, are you planning to start attacking on a rainy day?"

The obsessive black fat man Murong Qinyou roughly guessed Mu Hua Li Falcon's intentions, but he was not sure.

After all, the steppe tribes generally don't start a battle on a rainy day.

"Yes, the next heavy rain will be the best help that the wolf king god will give us."

Mu Hua Li Falcon looked back and looked like Zhizhu was holding it.

"Lord Shaman, if we attack in the rain, our bows and arrows, return cannons and crossbows will be ineffective, how can we attack the city then?"

Wan Qi Haiyin thought that this shaman didn't understand these common senses, so he hurriedly said.

"Our bows and arrows and return cannons can't be used, can their bows and arrows and return cannons be used?"

Mu Hua Li Falcon patted Wan Qi Haiyin's shoulder with a smile on his face and said.

"This ······"

When Mu Hua Li Falcon said this, Wan Qi Haiyin was stunned on the spot for a while.

Wan Qi Haiyin thought about it carefully, and it was indeed as Muhua Li Falcon said, although the soldiers of the grassland tribe could not use bows and arrows and long-range siege equipment, the defenders of the Dayu Dynasty could not use long-range attacks either.

In this way, their cavalry could transport the ladders and siege vehicles to the walls of the Dayu Dynasty in the first place, and they did not have to worry about long-distance attacks from the other side.

What's more, the killer oil they use against ladders and siege engines will also be less powerful in heavy rain.

The gold, juice, fireballs, etc., which they often use to deal with siege soldiers, will also be invalidated.

In this way, the losses of their besieging soldiers will be greatly reduced.

"What a plan! Why didn't I think of taking advantage of the rain to attack the city pass! It's no wonder that the shaman has been constantly transferring crossbows and return cannons to Kamiya County recently, and it turns out that the Lord has long planned to attack the city after the heavy rain. ”

Murong Qinyou patted his fat and screamed.

"Now you say that this heavy rain is not the best help that the wolf king god has given us?"

"Your Excellency is wise. Thank you for the gift of the wolf king god! ”

Murong Qinyou immediately knelt down on one knee and shouted loudly at the rain clouds in the distance, putting one hand on his chest.

was shouted by him like this, Wan Qi Haiyin could only kneel down on one knee and shout to the sky.

The corners of Mu Huali's mouth rose slightly.

After watching the clouds and rain for a while, he turned his gaze to the west again, and he looked at the endless grassland with great comfort in his heart.

The vast steppe seemed to be as never-ending as his ambition, and he waited quietly now, waiting for the appearance of the steppe cavalry armed with scimitars.

These cavalry will be the last straw that will crush the three counties of the Dayu Dynasty, as soon as they take advantage of the wind and rain, they will rush into the sheepfold of this group of sheep like wolves in the grassland.

What followed would be their feast, and the seemingly mighty Dayu Dynasty could only tremble or plead under their iron hooves and scimitars.

He loved the wails of the slaves, and to him it sounded like the most beautiful music in the world.

This time, he will personally lead the cavalry into the imperial city of the Dayu Dynasty and plunder.

According to the other shamans of the Wolf Court, the imperial capital of the Dayu Dynasty was full of gold, silk and satin everywhere, and there were many young beauties in every household.

Among them, the palace of the Dayu Dynasty has the largest collection of treasures in the world and the most beautiful women.

He wants to conquer this land that no other steppe tribe has ever conquered, rob the wealth that other steppe tribes have never plundered, and he wants to sleep with all the beauties that the steppe tribe has never slept with.

You must know that he has never let any woman come to sleep in the recent period, he is just to recharge his energy and enter the Dayu Imperial City to have a good time.

In the large camp within the city wall of Yuyang County, except for the soldiers on duty on the city wall, everyone huddled in their respective barracks and burned the fire.

Many people are still cursing the hellish weather, if it rains again on such a cold day, the whole camp will turn into ice.

For the soldiers in the south, the slightest carelessness can cause them to fall on their backs.

When the sun comes out, it will turn into muddy mud, and people will stick to it and there will be mud everywhere.

In the middle of the big tent of the Chinese army in the camp was a burning brazier at this time, and the Pengzhou army led by General Long Lao and the generals of the vassal army of various feudal towns, including the beggar army, were all sitting in the big tent at this time, with a solemn expression.

Because of the cold weather, everyone shrank their heads and looked at General Long, only Mu Fengxun kept stomping his feet in the tent at this time because he couldn't stand the cold.

From time to time, he got up and walked to the middle of the tent and threw two sticks of wood into the brazier.

"In the past few days, we have received information from Yunzhong County and Shanggu County, and sure enough, as expected, the cavalry of the grassland tribe has been constantly moving troops between Yunzhong and Shanggu County, and we can only send reinforcements to support back and forth between the two counties in order to ensure that the two counties are not lost, but after a few tosses, the reinforcements have been exhausted by tossing."

General Long was the first to tell the information he had obtained in the past two or three days.

"We are almost certain that our Yuyang County will be the real breakthrough point for the grassland tribe."

Adjutant General Song Shilong then added.

"In that case, we should tell the imperial court to transfer some of the reinforcements from Shanggu County to our Yuyang County."

The commander of the Hengguo Army below said loudly.

"It's useless, once the reinforcements of Shanggu County support our Yuyang County, the army of Yunzhong County will immediately march towards Shanggu County, and when the time comes, they can immediately break through Shanggu County with their speed advantage, and then we will be attacked on our backs."

The leader of the beggar army under the command of the Zhenhai Jiedu envoy said.

The leader of the beggar army was a native of the Tugu tribe, and he was also a member of the Tugu tribe at the beginning, but later because his father was defeated by Emperor Shengwu, all the men of their family were reduced to slaves by Murong Qinyou, the king of Tugu, and all the women of their family were rewarded to other clansmen as playthings.

He was forced to go to war, where he killed his centurion and defected to the Dayu Dynasty with the rest of his slaves, where he was later promoted to the leader of a beggar army due to his abilities.

This time, like Mu Yizheng, he also heard that Murong Qinyou had come to Yuyang County, so he immediately brought his subordinates to Yuyang County to support.

"In that case, do the North Division and the Ministry of War have any countermeasures? Are there any new instructions from the imperial court? ”

A feudal army commander asked.

"I reported it to the Northern Division as soon as I found out that the steppe tribe was frequently mobilizing cavalry, but I haven't received any news until now."

Father-in-law Zhou's shrill voice immediately sounded.

"We don't have any news from Yuyang County, whether it is the two counties of Beisi and Shanggu that have received news from Beisi and the Ministry of War."

Someone still asked.

"Our family doesn't know much about this, Shanggu County and Yunzhong County haven't sent us any news."

Zhou Gonggong once again gave a negative answer.

"What's going on, this shouldn't be, according to the practice of the North Division and the Ministry of War, they should give instructions as soon as possible."

Yuan Anyuan muttered quietly below.

"Uncle Yuan, did you say that the group of guys from the Beisi and the Military Department didn't receive the information reported at all?"

Mu Fengxun said in a low voice.

It's just that although he lowered his voice, the people at the scene still heard his words clearly.

"At this point, we can tell you very responsibly that it is impossible, not only our Yuyang County has reported the situation, but Yunzhong County and Shanggu County have also reported intelligence, even if someone can intercept the information of our Yuyang County, it is impossible to intercept all the information of all the three counties."

Gonggong Zhou shook his head and said that Mu Fengxun's guess could not happen.

"Is it because after carefully studying the information, the people of the Northern Division and the Military Department thought that the focus of the grassland tribe's attack could not be Yuyang County, so they simply ignored us?"

Yuan Anyuan arched his hand towards Gonggong Zhou and asked.

"Our family has been thinking about it for a long time recently, and we think this possibility is relatively high."

······

Just when the discussion among the generals in the camp was in full swing, Li Yi was walking back and forth in his barracks at this time.

At the moment, he was like an ant on a hot pot, going back and forth all the time.

"I said junior brother, you have been dangling back and forth in front of me for more than an hour, and my eyes are going to be dazzled by you, what's wrong with you?"

Keiko put down the book in his hand, and finally couldn't help but speak.

And Ansu next to him was holding a boring and constantly polishing with a knife stone.

The boring weapon is similar to a gun, except that it has two curved tips on the sides, similar to a fork.

And Ansu's original weapon was a fork, so boring was perfect for him.

Because the boring was not built by the blacksmiths in the alien weapon army, his boring was made for him by Li Yi himself.

To say that Li Yi learned a variety of things in Guigumen, but each of them was learned very deeply.

When it comes to crafting weapons, he is much more skilled than the blacksmiths in the barracks.

Even Qi Ning and Qi Chao pestered him to build weapons for themselves.

Li Yi created an Emei thorn for Qi Ning, which is small, light, and lethal, and very suitable for her to use.

And because the Qi Dynasty was born with great strength, what Li Yi created for him was a glaive knife.

These two weapons are also rare in ordinary times, and even when Li Yi said these two weapons, the blacksmiths in the army were all confused and said that they had not heard of them.

"I always feel that something is wrong, have you confirmed with Brother Ziyi that Beisi and the imperial court haven't sent any news yet?"

Li Yi suddenly turned around and asked Jing Zizheng.

"I've confirmed it many times, and at this time all the generals of their armies are gathered in the big tent to discuss this matter."

"It doesn't make sense, I must have overlooked something."

Li Yi said and walked back and forth in the barracks again.

"Boy, are you thinking too much about yourself, maybe the North Division and the Military Department have already sent a message to Yunzhong County and Shanggu County."

Qi Ning was fiddling with the Emei thorn she had just gotten, and she also thought that Li Yi was annoying walking back and forth.

"But if Yunzhong County and Shanggu County receive the news, they should also let Yuyang County know!"

Li Yi scratched his head and still couldn't think of a clue.

"It's not simple, the North Division and the Ministry of War are all high-ranking officials, they can let whoever they want to know, and they still need to care about Yuyang County?"

Qi Chao held the Glaive Knife with a disdainful face, his perception of officialdom was that the officials in the painting book were corrupt, bribery and oppression of the people.

"Let whoever you want know!"

Li Yi kept recalling these words, and suddenly Li Yi stood still.

A moment later, he crouched down again, scratching his head and muttering in his mouth.

"But why did they want to keep the people of Yuyang County from knowing? Why is that? ”

In this way, Li Yi squatted on the ground and muttered for about a quarter of an hour, when he suddenly stood up, and then pushed open the door of the barracks and ran towards the city wall like crazy.
