Chapter Seventy-Nine: For a while, the wind and sand rose in the city tower

The Lonely Bamboo City, where Xu Ao is located, is located at the northernmost point of the entire urban agglomeration, and once Beidi attacks here, it must be a bitter battle. Just like the point where the shield first comes into contact with the enemy's steel sword, if this point can't hold up, then it is only a matter of time before the entire shield shatters.

Xu Ao actually has one thing in his heart that he doesn't understand, according to the propaganda of various countries, Beidi is just a group of savages who can shoot bows and arrows. Even if you have some masters like when you fight arrows at sunset, there are only a few masters after all.

The Qin army plus the Yan army, the number of cavalry is not less than that of the Beidi people, and they still win in quality, why not camp outside the city, such an empty plain, even if it is a little muddy, but which team of the Qin army and the Yan army is a treasure held in the palm of the hand, presumably even if it is bitter, it can be overcome.

Isn't it a fool's errand to give up the advantage of heavy cavalry in the battle against them, and instead turn the cavalry into foot soldiers defending the city? Even the students who have just entered the Yanwutang are afraid that they understand what a foolish act it is to use their shortcomings to fight the enemy's strengths.

But after some discussion between the leading generals of Qin and Yan, they actually placed hundreds of thousands of cavalry reinforcements in Guzhu City and the surrounding two cities.

It is completely a posture of waiting for the enemy to attack. In the words that I have often seen in my previous life, that is, this group of slave owners never thought that the residents of the northern part of the Yan Kingdom were living in dire straits at the moment, waiting for their compatriots to help.

Qin Jun can still understand, after all, no matter how many Yan people die, they are Yan people and have nothing to do with Qin State. But the attitude of Le Niu, the leading general of Yan State, is a little intriguing.

Le Niu obviously understands how stupid it is to arrange a large number of cavalry to be stationed in the city, once the enemy comes to attack, the swarming cavalry is crowded at the city gate, that is the live target sent to the door, with the archery skills that Beidi has cultivated immediately for many years, he is afraid of taking advantage of this negligence, and it is not a problem to completely annihilate the two armies of Qin and Yan.

But Le Niu did just that, just sent two thousand scouts to the north, Xu Ao didn't understand, two thousand scouts were distributed in such a vast land, what role could it play, not to mention, if the other party still had a master to snipe, wouldn't these two thousand cavalry be sent to death.

It's just that he was suspicious of the main general during the war, and it was not something Xu Ao dared to do, so he hid this matter in his heart, and just mentioned it at a small gathering of Xu Hu and a few people from Iron and Blood Road.

Speaking of the people of the Iron Blood Road, there are more than 90 disciples of the Iron Blood Road who came with him this time, including high-achieving students who are still alive after more than a year of enrollment, and there are also unlucky people who have been involved in the new Yanwu Hall in the last imperial doctor incident.

Before this departure, Xu Ao exchanged a box of gold and silver from the captain for one of their armor, one person and one steel knife, and the most basic life-saving medicines.

And these, in exchange for the people of the Iron and Blood Road, are a gratitude.

As for the merits mentioned by the Cocktail Daoist, Xu Ao didn't feel it at all.

However, it can be regarded as a gain to have a little favor with several outstanding talents on the Iron and Blood Road.

As often said in those travel novels, either the protagonist himself is strong against the sky, or the protagonist has formed a strong team against the sky. Or the protagonist is lucky against the sky.,You can always get some treasures similar to hanging.。

It's a pity that Xu Ao thinks that he is not a practice wizard. Judging from the fate of the first five or six years of reincarnation, it is estimated that luck is not much better. The only thing left is to form a strong team against the sky.

Therefore, Xu Ao plans to be able to protect one of these truly talented people in the Iron and Blood Road, even if he is only a half-baked second-grade master. But with the foundation of thinking logic thousands of years ahead of them, it can somewhat increase their hope of saving their lives.

Just like Xu Ao is teaching them now, in the outermost layer of the armor, use cloth bags and sand to sew sandbags and hide them inside, although it will affect the action a little, but most of these people are some think-tank characters, presumably they don't need to go into battle in person, as long as they can prevent cold arrows.

In Xu Ao's time, sandbags could withstand machine gun fire, and they must have some protection against arrows.

Under the arrangement of Le Niu and Qin Baili, the Lonely Bamboo City, which was originally stationed with 100,000 people, was forced to cram 300,000 people, and the whole city seemed a little crowded. The area around the originally empty school yard was also covered with newly built wooden houses, and the dense horse sheds also occupied the originally somewhat desolate horse farm.

However, these 300,000 people were finally settled, although the smell of mixed human and animal life is really flattering, but after all, these 300,000 people are elite, but no one complains about anything. At least it shows that no one is complaining about anything.

At this moment, Le Niu with a few lieutenant generals is standing on the city tower overlooking the city, the school is crowded, and the two armies of Qin and Yan are still doing run-in training: "These Qin troops, if they are all my Dayan's army, how good it would be, even if it is only half of the number, I Le Niu can take them to recover the lost territory and reshape the prestige of Jihou, it's a pity, it's a pity, alas"

"My lord, my Dayan and Qin army have no less than one million, and it is said that there are only less than a million people in Beidi going south, why don't you try to wave the army north, instead of waiting for Beidi to go south?"

"Stupid, the heart of the tiger and wolf of the Qin State has wanted to invade my Great Yan Land many times, what is the alliance between the two countries at this moment, I am afraid that only the king and the queen mother know, but you and I, as courtiers, have to guard against the Qin State. Regardless of whether they are sincere or not, even if they are sincere, once they reach Yanbei, after a few battles, all the terrain in Yanbei will be mastered by the Qin people. All the natural obstacles that might be used against the Qin State would also be clear to them. This is a blessing and a curse for Dayan. ”

"Thank you for your guidance, the small ones are still unclear, and I hope the adults will teach you. The adjutant general arched his hand and continued to ask: "My lord, most of the reinforcements from Yan and Qin are cavalry, why don't you let them be stationed outside the city, but instead stuff them into the city, if Beidi suddenly attacks at this moment, isn't it all wrapped in dumplings?"

"I don't dare to let the Qin army be outside the city, even if my brother Le Yang is here, he doesn't dare either. As for the sudden attack of Beidi, it takes an hour or two for the best horses to get here from the first beacon, and one or two hours is enough for us to line up outside the city and set up our army. Le Niu touched his nose: "Vice General Wang, the food for those reinforcements is still abundant, is there a shortage of forage to feed the horses?"

The deputy general who asked the question just now hurriedly replied: "Lord Hui, the grain and grass in the city are estimated to last for half a month, and the forage is a little insufficient, but it should be able to last for more than ten days." The convoy carrying grain and grass from the south is only seven or eight days away, and there should be no shortage. ”

"I hope so. By the way, have you figured out the identities of those dolls in the Qin army?"

"After the test of the last general, they should all be disciples of the Qin State Yanwutang, and this time they were arranged here to observe and learn and experience the atmosphere of actual combat. ”

"It should be like this, it should be like this, it's a pity that the king is young and soft-hearted, if I send all the disciples of Da Yan to experience it、、、 alas"

Le Niu's words are a bit rebellious, his younger brother is a general with millions of soldiers, so he naturally has this confidence. But they are just lieutenants who have no real power, who dares to answer, who can answer, and who is qualified to answer.

"That's it, don't look at it, go to Feifeng Tower to arrange, I will have a banquet for General Qin and many young talents in Yanwutang in the evening. A personal servant said yes and ran to the largest restaurant in the city.

Le Niu was a little sullen and took the lieutenants down the city tower.

For a while, the wind and sand in the city tower covered up a little competitiveness.
