"Well, many of you are seeing me for the first time, I am Yu Qingyao, the seventeenth disciple of the Guan Lord, and the new elder of Guan Zhong. From now on, he will be your master. What I ask of you is faithfulness and obedience, and faithfulness and obedience do not hesitate to reward. If you are not faithful and obedient, I will make your life worse than death. ”

She wasn't all threats, the Lord of the House had a lot of power. If Wang Guan is the emperor, the branch master is equivalent to the princes.

Yu Qingyao said a few opening remarks and looked at the four people standing at the front.

These four were the deacons of the Monastery, and were in charge of the armed forces, foreign affairs, finances, and internal affairs.

Xu Da is the apprentice of the original courtyard master, about forty years old, looks very strong, and has two beards. Yu Qingyao attaches the most importance to him. The most powerful disciples in the branch are in his hands. He is the eighth layer of Qi cultivation. After the death of the master, he intended to take over the master of the courtyard. If he rebels, Yu Qingyao will be in trouble.

Tang Kang, who is almost fifty years old this year, is slightly chubby, and has a beer belly. He is a confidant, and he looks more like a successful businessman, full of wealth. This man is good at dancing with long sleeves and is very familiar with people in the city.

Xie Lijun, in her thirties, is a rare female deacon. has a dignified and beautiful face, but her temperament is biased towards a strong woman, and her face is slightly sad. She controls the financial power and warehouse in the courtyard, and has won the trust of the original owner, and it is rumored that she is the secret lover of the original owner.

Liang Shenxing, in his fifties, is the deputy of the original head of the hospital, and he looks like he is kind and wealthy, managing the daily affairs of the hospital. He and Tang Kang are both old fritters here.

The four of them were watching Yu Qingyao carefully, they had heard of Yu Qingyao a long time ago, but she rarely appeared in public. Among these four people, only Xu Da had seen Yu Qingyao once from afar.

Knowing that it was Yu Qingyao who took over as the head of the hospital, the feelings of the four of them were a little complicated. For them, the highest position they can get after a lifetime of struggle is the head of the hospital. Suddenly, a sixteen-year-old girl parachuted in and became her top boss, how could they be embarrassed?

Yu Qingyao is a master of foundation building and an apprentice of the master, with a deep background and can be used as a backer. She is young and foolish, and in the past, they will inevitably join forces and give her a dismount first, so that she wants to cry without tears. and then woo her with small profits, so that she can make profits.

However, now is wartime, and continuing to do so is tantamount to killing oneself.

Faced with the crisis of war, they had to pin their hopes on Yu Qingyao, a sixteen-year-old girl. At this time, they really didn't want the owner of the courtyard to be an ignorant little girl, but they wanted to be a strong man with strong experience in the prime of life.

But there is no way, the above appointed. They really hope that Yu Qingyao's ability can match her beauty.

Yu Qingyao said: "The war is coming, and the copper drum is one of the three directions of the enemy's attack. I've just been here, I'm not familiar with the situation, Deacon Xu, what's going on now?"

Xu Da said: "The advance of the Wuzhou army is less than 100 miles away from the city, and it is expected to reach the city within three days. The army coming here was 10,000 men. We have three thousand defenders in the city. ”

Yu Qingyao listened to it and felt that relying on the city wall, three thousand against ten thousand, there was still a lot of hope to hold it. She relaxed a little and asked, "Can you organize some more young people to help defend the city? Is the ordnance ready to defend the city? Is there enough food?"

Tang Kang said: "Returning to the courtyard master, I mobilized the heroes in the city and organized 1,500 young people, who can go to the city at any time to assist in the defense." There is enough food in the city for a year. As for the ordnance, we have 500 bows, 100 crossbows, and 20 crossbows to defend the city. Swords, guns, armor are sufficient. ”

Tonggu is a relatively wealthy city in Baishan.

Yu Qingyao thought for a while, and then asked, "What about the wound medicine?"

Tang Kang said: "We have prepared five truckloads of wound medicine. ”

Yu Qingyao nodded with satisfaction, feeling that the situation was much better than she expected. She has watched several movies and television of ancient wars, and she has also watched the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and in her previous life, in order to have something to say to boys, she also deliberately played a war strategy game. I know a little bit about ancient warfare.

She remembered some of the ways she knew to defend the city. "Lime, oil, log, fork rod, is the gold juice ready?"

Tang Kangqi said: "What are you doing with those things?"

Yu Qingyao sighed and asked, "Don't you use these things to defend the city?"

Tang Kang shook his head and said, "I haven't used it!"

Yu Qingyao was happy and asked: "When attacking the city, does the other party have arrow towers, siege vehicles, and trebuchets?"

Everyone looked at each other, looking like they didn't understand.

Yu Qingyao was even happier, there were no three things that she was most afraid of defending the city in ancient times, so what was she afraid of?

Xu Da said: "The arrow tower that the courtyard master said, but what is the thing that erects a high platform and allows the archers to stand on it and shoot arrows?"

Yu Qingyao nodded.

Tang Kang patted his forehead and said, "This one has, it's called Arrow Tower." ”

Yu Qingyao sweated, it turned out that he meowed in a different way.

"So, did they have a cart that hit the city gates?"

"Yes!" said Tang Kang.

"Is there a machine that can throw boulders at the city walls?"

"No, but during the siege, we often help cast spells to attack the walls. Xu Da said.

Yu Qingyao was speechless, okay, I was too happy too early, I forgot that there are Taoists in this world, and Taoists put spells, which are more convenient and difficult to prevent than trebuchets.

The trebuchet is bulky and difficult to move and easy to break, the Taoist hides among the soldiers, and suddenly puts a spell over, which is really unguardable, and the spell is varied, much more deadly than the trebuchet.

Yu Qingyao said: "Let people prepare more lime, oil, rolling wood, fork rods and gold juice, and then gather carpenters to build bamboo and wood sheds above the city wall." ”

Xu Da asked, "Master of the Courtyard, what are you doing with those things?"

Yu Qingyao explained: "When lime is hot when it comes to water, it will burn people when it is poured down from the city. If the oil is hot and poured down, it will also burn people, the gold juice is dung, and if you burn people, you will get sick, and the fork pole can push away the stairs of the enemy to climb the city. Large logs were placed on the ramparts, tied with ropes. When the enemy climbs up, roll down the log to smash people. Pull it back after smashing, and you can use it next time. Wouldn't it be possible to block a lot of arrows by building a shed?"

Yu Qingyao couldn't understand the bare city walls in ancient China, you have the strength to build a city wall, will you die if you seal the city wall? In this case, the enemy shoots arrows from the bottom up, and he can't shoot a few people from exhaustion, right?

And the defenders of the city can shoot out through the window, how much advantage does this have to take?

How stupid is it for both sides to stand stupidly in the open space and shoot at each other?

Xu Da and Tang Kang glanced at each other, and felt that what the courtyard master said didn't cost much, and it didn't hurt to prepare, in case it was useful, it would make a lot of money.

Tang Kang went to let people prepare.

A banquet was prepared in the courtyard, and everyone invited the new master to dinner. Yu Qingyao hurriedly ate and went to inspect the city wall.

When General Wu, the defender of the city, heard the news, he hurriedly ran to the city wall to meet Yu Qingyao.

General Wu was in his forties, with a square black face, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a frightening beard. Wearing a tiger helmet armor, it looks very majestic.
