At this time, everyone in the entire northern city was shouting and stamping their feet. The sound was like thousands of troops roaring: "Hey, hey, Huo!"
The sergeants beside the war drums at the top of the city all put down their weapons at this moment, picked up the drumsticks, and imitated Liu Yu, and started beating. Brothers Zhu Lingshi and Zhu Chaoshi even shouted while beating, which sounded slightly...
The immature children's voice mixed with the drum sound was actually deafening.
Accompanied by these rhythmic drums, accompanied by the south wind, strong winds and huge waves rolled up, heading towards the Qin Army's camp in the north, and instantly silenced the Qin Army's war roar.
After Liu Yu played like this for more than ten rounds, he laughed and threw the drumstick to Dao Yanzhi who was beside him. He immediately started playing. The Qin army camp opposite had gradually quieted down. It was still shouting just now.
The tsunami-like roar of the Hu cavalry and the roar of the army can no longer be heard. Occasionally, there are a few golden sounds. Between heaven and earth, only these "Hey, Hey, Huo" at the head of Shouchun City are left.
The sound is still echoing.
Murong Nan's voice sounded behind Liu Yu: "It's really you, I can think of all this for you."
Liu Yu smiled slightly, turned around, and said to Xu Yuanlang on the side: "Building Master Xu, I leave this to you. Everyone's morale is good. If we keep this momentum, we will definitely be able to defend Shouchun."
Xu Yuanlang laughed: "Zhu Liu, you really opened my eyes today. I will definitely promote this method in every city. Oh, by the way, when are we going to mop the mud?"
Liu Yu nodded: "The sooner, the better. You can start with the plasterers now. Paint the city head first, and then the residential buildings in the city. Those are wooden houses and can easily catch fire. Don't be careless."
A moment later, Liu Yu stood at the head of the secret barbican city from the beginning again, leaning on the battlements. His eyes fell on the Qin army camp in the distance, with a calm expression. Brothers Zhu Lingshi and Zhu Chaoshi were following Xu Yuanlang at the head of the city.
Carrying a few buckets of mud from the bottom of the well, he followed the plasterers and applied the cement on the wooden pillars. More than half of the wooden buildings at the top of the North City had become gray and gray.
Murong Nan sighed softly: "Liu Yu, where did you learn these tactics of war and defense? Looking at your appearance, you can't even read a few Chinese characters. How can you read so many military books?"
Liu Yu smiled slightly and straightened up: "You don't need to know many words to understand the art of war. Since ancient times, generals have not been like those masters of Confucian classics and metaphysics, because military books are written for generals to read.
How do you lead troops in battle? You face many peasants who cannot read a single word. What you want is simple and easy to understand."
Murong Nan's eyes were shining: "Then where did you get these military books? It seems that you don't have many books at home."
Liu Yu smiled and said: "Why, have you been to my house?"
A trace of panic flashed in Murong Nan's eyes, and he shook his head: "I have never been to Jingkou, and I have never been to your home. It's just that no one in the army knows about your family's situation. They say they are too poor to open the door.
You, Liu Yu, are not that kind of poor scholar. If you really had a collection of books or something, you would probably have exchanged them for money."
Liu Yu nodded: "Yes, it is because I am too poor that I have to go out to fight for wealth. But to be honest, those military books are not from my family, but from Fatty Liu. Also, since I joined the army, Marshal Xuan
He also gave me a lot of military books and tactics from their family collection, such as the Six Taoist Strategies, which were very useful to me."
Murong Nan smiled and said: "Could it be that what you just said, hey, hey, Huo, are also recorded in the military book?"
Liu Yu shook his head: "That's not true. When we Jingkou people fight in groups, we all shout like this in unison before taking action. To be precise, it is the chant we shout in unison when we are farming in Qili Township."
Murong Nan opened his eyes wide: "What, the chant during farming? Can you still shout like that?"
Liu Yu smiled and said: "That's right, brother Murong, you have never planted rice. You don't know how troublesome and painful it is to bend down to plant rice in the paddy field. Those muddy fields are full of blood-sucking leeches. Sometimes
Once the leg was pulled out, there would be ten or eight stings on it, and it would be bloody. I don’t know how scary it is.”
As he spoke, he lifted up his trouser legs. On the hairy calves, you could see many small and numb gashes, which were shocking. Even Murong Nan, who had experienced countless fights, couldn't help but change his color when he saw it.
Liu Yu sighed and said: "I just don't want to farm, so I started practicing martial arts since I was a child. Instead of bending down and working all my life to suck the blood of these leeches, it's better to go to the battlefield and kill a lot. Brother Murong, are you here?
When we were on the grassland, grazing cattle and sheep, it wasn't so miserable."
Murong Nan sighed softly: "There are difficulties in the grassland on the grassland. Liu Yu, in fact, when I was born, our Murong family had already occupied the Central Plains. My understanding of the grassland was through my elders in the family. However,
They said that when you herd cattle and sheep on the grassland, you have to suffer from wind and rain. Mosquitoes and gadflies are as big as your little finger. There are many venomous snakes and worms in the grass. The weeds half as tall as a man are full of all kinds of poisonous insects.
Wild beasts, sometimes they will be attacked by snakes and insects when they dismount to urinate, and their lives will not be saved. Therefore, on the grassland, even three or four-year-old children must learn to ride horses and archery, and try not to get off without dismounting.
, as for bows, arrows and knives, they are sharp weapons for self-defense and life-saving."
Liu Yu said with a smile: "No wonder you have to live on horseback your whole life. It turns out to be because of this. It seems that the grasslands are not as comfortable as those in the Central Plains."
Murong Nan curled up his lips: "It's more than that. You Central Plains people work at sunrise and rest at sunset. Although it is hard, it is not life-threatening, and you don't have to look at the weather for food. Unless there is a big disaster, it won't last a year.
If there is no harvest, even if there is a major disaster, we will still have the food stored in previous years to eat and we will not starve to death."
"But on the grassland, if there is a heavy snowfall in winter, hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep may freeze to death, and then people in the tribe will die in droves, because beef and mutton cannot be stored for more than a year, or that kind of
A large-scale disease among cattle and sheep may cause a tribe of hundreds of thousands of people to fall apart in an instant."
Liu Yu nodded: "So if you don't have anything to eat or drink, if you don't want to starve to death, you have no choice but to rob? Is this the reason for your predatory nature?"
Murong Nan nodded expressionlessly: "That's one reason. You have big rivers in the Central Plains, and water sources have never been a problem. But on the grasslands, if you want to feed cattle and sheep, you need pastures with rich water and grass."
