Chapter 239: The Great Army Has Arrived
Xiao Jiu nodded and left after reading it, and the three of them returned to the room of the original headquarters and saw that the dinner that had been prepared was placed on the table. Xiao Jiu beckoned the eldest sister and Rong Rong to hurry up and eat, and took a break after eating. The eldest sister and Rong Rong didn't understand why, Xiao Jiu smiled and said: "Today, because the other party arrived late, I just attacked tentatively for a while, and if I wait for a while, I will definitely withdraw my troops and rest." Tomorrow will be the time for the real hard battle. Let's get some rest, and tomorrow it's time for us to take command of the war. ”
The eldest sister and Rong Rong were suspicious, and they didn't even let them go today, and I'm afraid it will be like this tomorrow. Xiao Jiu didn't explain, just smiled and urged him to eat and sleep.
Early the next morning, Xiao Jiu and eldest sister Rong Rong were just finishing practicing martial arts in the courtyard when they saw the two generals walking in with bitter faces. Everyone came to the room and sat down, and the general who guarded the pass said, "Thank you for Childe's magic to connect my severed arm." Yesterday the other party only tentatively attacked, early this morning, the whole army was put on a posture of not stopping, the two of us discussed for a long time, and there was no good way, to meet the requirements of the son, this two of us may not be competent. ”
Xiao Jiu looked at the eldest sister and Rong Rong, and then said to the two generals: "Then I will go and see it today, the new formation and use are also commanded by people, and you two will go with us." Then he said to the general guarding the pass: "You immediately go over and prepare something to set up a pot on the defensive wall to burn the fire, and then bring up the long spoon of the rice with you, as fast as possible, we will go up to the high wall first" After speaking, he said to the general of the forbidden army: "You bring the 10,000 soldiers who did not move yesterday and the 10,000 people who will participate in the battle today to the high wall, and then organize the supply of crossbow arrows." After the two generals left, Xiao Jiu grimaced at the eldest sister and Rong Rong, took the lead out of the room, and walked towards the tall wall. Standing on top of the towering high wall, Xiao Jiu looked at the endless plain in front of him and nodded secretly. It is no wonder that the other party wants to do everything possible to get the Broken Sky Pass, and occupying the pass is a natural barrier. Advance is a solid support point. Xiao Jiu looked at the topography of the pass, and couldn't help but secretly admire the magic of nature's creation, the endless plain, just here abruptly towered up a continuous high mountain, leaving the avenue sandwiched between these two high mountains, the mountains on both sides are like two huge doorposts, which are inserted on both sides of the avenue, the entire pass is built according to the mountain, and the huge project has built a huge gate. Xiao Jiu looked at this gate-like gate, and the span on both sides was nearly ten miles. But due to the limitations of the terrain. The opponent could only launch a force attack in front of the three or four miles in the middle of the pass. Xiao Jiu looked at the structure of the pass again, and saw that the entire pass was built with huge stones, which was incomparably solid, and the wall was wide enough to catch up with the middle avenue of the imperial city. Standing at the pass and looking into the distance, there are countless military tents standing like stars on the endless plain, and the soldiers as small as black dots are walking in an orderly manner. The entire army has been deployed, and the army that is connected to the horizon at a glance is very spectacular. Seeing this, Xiao Jiu understood that although the two generals had experienced a hundred battles, it was the first time that such a huge battlefield and number of people had been encountered. A big war like this may not happen once in a professional soldier's life.
Xiao Jiu looked at the scene in front of him and understood the difficulties of the two generals, after all, they were two armies that belonged to different countries. Each has its own concerns. At this time, the general guarding the pass led the soldiers to the wall of the pass, and began to support the pot according to the position and distance specified by Xiao Jiu. Xiao Jiuyi looked at this cauldron. If you are the size of yourself, you can go in ten and take a bath. Xiao Jiu watched the general command to set up four or five large pots in front of each pot, the animal oil in one large pot just turned into two large pots, one pot followed by the one that lit the fire, two held long spoons, and one added oil to the four people in charge.
This is the forbidden army also ran up, according to Xiao Jiu's arrangement, there were six soldiers standing in the open space between each cauldron five steps away from the back wall, each in groups of three. The five-step distance behind him serves as a passage for transporting troops and supplies. Three people are formed, one shoots, two covers. The soldiers guarding the pass were also in groups of three, one with a long hook and two with short weapons, standing in front of the cauldron and dealing with the treatment after being shot, and the archers stood closest to the outer wall, and behind them were two soldiers with weapons. At this time, the general of the forbidden army was commanding the rest of the forbidden army, carrying the stone thrower he brought to the high wall, and saw Xiao Jiu running over and said: "It's all my fault for being confused, I brought so many good things, and I forgot to use them." Childe this thing is installed there. ”
Xiao Jiu asked, "You bring this thing up, and the stones used are there, if they are transported from behind the pass, they can exhaust a soldier in one trip." ”
The general guarding the pass said: "If you can't do it, use the stones on this pass, and finish repairing." ”
Xiao Jiu smiled and said: "You are a robber who has not yet arrived, and you will demolish your home first, which is not good, and the wise man will not do it." That is, if you move up, you will put the ones that come up separately, and you don't need to move the ones that come later. The stones used should be pulled by a car, and the stones should not be pulled large, because it would be very tiring, so just use a big head. ”
Watching the two generals turn around and arrange, Xiao Jiu said to the eldest sister and Rong Rong: "You should go back during the war, it's too cruel." The two glared at Xiao Jiu, Xiao Jiu smiled helplessly, and followed the two generals to the command platform at the pass. When I came to the high platform, I saw that the situation on all sides was clear at a glance, and the movements of the other party in the distance were also unobstructed.
Xiao Jiu looked at the eldest sister and Rong Rong standing beside him, knowing that this was the best position to protect him, the two generals stood next to the two princesses, and there were two rows of soldiers of the forbidden army standing on the steps below in front of him, turned to look at the second brother who was leading the soldiers standing behind, and couldn't help but smile and said: "This can make the second brother anxious enough, look at that face has become the bottom of the pot." Xiao Jiu stood here, carefully looked at all the defenses, adjusted the positions of a few defenses, and asked the two generals: "Have all the soldiers had breakfast in the morning?" Both generals began to hesitate, because they had not eaten breakfast. Xiao Jiu said: "Let all the soldiers remember their respective positions, and start to take turns to eat, or let the cooks be delivered, the time of the war is very long, we can't let our soldiers fight hungry, let the cooks deliver the meals on time." After speaking, I saw that the second brother arranged for the soldiers to pass the order. At this time, Xiao Jiu and all the soldiers standing saw that the other party had already set up the formation of the front army and was heading towards the pass. As the army marched in, a very tense atmosphere suddenly permeated the pass. Everyone was so nervous that they didn't even bother to look at the food delivered, and even the two generals nervously began to wipe the beads of sweat on their heads and faces, and the whole pass was enveloped heavily.
At this time, a crisp children's voice said: "What are you nervous about, let's beat them up." Now we will start eating, let the fools stand up, and wait until we are full, and then we will sit down and rest, and take care of our spirits, and when the fools will come to us with their hair rising and their legs weak, and hum, if they don't beat him, they should fall. Come to dinner, is it worth being nervous about these fools. As he spoke, he picked up the rice and started eating, and the eldest sister and Rong Rong also picked up the rice and began to eat under Xiao Jiu's eyes. Xiao Jiu's voice caused all the soldiers standing to burst into laughter, looking at the appearance of the son and the princess safely, everyone also picked up the meal and ate it, and everyone who didn't eat said that this was also a fool, and suddenly the heavy atmosphere at the pass was swept away because of Xiao Jiu's words. Since then, all the soldiers at the pass called the other party's soldiers stupid, and finally even the entire army called the opponent stupid, which became a special name in the Wuling national army. A few years later, when the title spread to the other party's country, and finally learned the origin of the title, the monarch and ministers and all the generals in the country were ashamed and unable to do anything, which became a big joke on the mainland, and the morale of the country was gone. As soon as they appeared, people shouted: Look at these fools.
Under Xiao Jiu's arrangement, after everyone finished eating, they began to sit on the ground and rest in the formation set by the opponent. As far as Xiao Jiu's words and arrangements were concerned, even the two generals felt that the soldiers they led had completely changed. That kind of domineering spirit of despising the opponent and treating the enemy as if it were nothing has slowly spread in the army.
The two generals couldn't help but secretly admire, and said in their hearts: Gongzi is really a god, and with one sentence, the entire army has changed its appearance. Leading such an army, they are also confident, and the two of them suddenly feel that they are also a lot younger.
At this time, a hissing horn sounded in front of the opponent's formation, and the soldiers guarding the pass also stood up, looking at the other party's appearance and about to start attacking. Some of the soldiers on this side have already mounted their bows. At this time, Xiao Jiu said: "You guys also look up to these fools too much, is it still very good for us to beat them, everyone just needs to practice according to the prior arrangement, just these people, there is enough for us to practice for a few days." ”
Everyone laughed, and the two generals asked, "Childe, do we want to raise the fire under the pot?" Xiao Jiu shook his head and said: "No, you see which of them is stupid, they have been standing here for a long time, and there is no movement, just stupid, I don't know when this is going to happen, now make a fire, we are not wasting firewood, it is not cost-effective, and when the time comes, let others say that we have dealt with a few fools and spent a lot of firewood, then we have no face, waiting to watch them perform." ”
At this time, the soldiers were already laughing and watching each other form a whole army, and they were still making suggestions while watching. And so it was until the other side began to advance towards the pass as a whole, and the soldiers were still talking and laughing. At this time, Xiao Jiu said: "All the soldiers pay attention, we are going to start practicing now, stand in a good position, don't let the fool make us laugh." With Xiao Jiu's voice, the soldiers were all in high spirits, and suddenly a majestic and majestic atmosphere emerged. Xiao Jiu looked at the approaching army, waited until it was within enough range, and shouted: "Archers prepare, release." "The archers began to rotate and began to shoot arrows. Then he said, "It's time for you to practice the target for a while." At this time, the general of the forbidden army saw that several head-sized stones were thrown out this time, and several were knocked down, and the effect was really good. As the opponent pounced on the pass, gradually the opponent began to build a ladder to climb the wall, Xiao Jiu let the prepared long pole resist the opponent's long ladder, and a few soldiers pushed the long ladder straight over. At this time, Xiao Jiu said: "Make a cremation and turn oil." After a while, the soldiers on the other side had already begun to show their heads on the wall, and Xiao Jiu said: "The soldiers in front of them retreat and rest." Hearing this order, everyone was stunned. (To be continued......)
