Chapter 189 Talent

This was the first time that Yanshan Camp tried to take the initiative to seize the land occupied by the government army, and it was a border pass. The reason why Li Chi dared to persuade Yu Chaozong like this was because he had nine parts of trust in Yu Chaozong. The reason was very simple. If Yu Chaozong had not had that intention, he would not have let Zhuang Wudi take the troops of the camp and Li Chi to Daizhou Pass.

Yu Chaozong was just too much restraint. He had not thought of any reason to convince the others in Yanshan Camp. Li Chi asked Zhuang Wudi to bring him this reason.

No matter what Bi Datong is thinking, he must first consider his life and death and prepare a way out for himself. So at this point, Li Chi is sure that Bi Datong and Yu Chaozong will have the same judgment and decision.

In fact, in Li Chi's opinion, Yu Chaozong has all the factors that heroes should have. He is an upright and righteous person, a person who is trustworthy, honest and shameful, and has great ambitions, but he is just a hero. In terms of personality, if Bi Datong's ruthlessness and insidiousness are given to Yu Chaozong, then Yu Chaozong is a standard hero.

So all the constraints in Yu Chaozong's heart were just because he was a hero, and they all came from his own personality. When he could become ruthless, could Bi Datong really affect Yu Chaozong's status in Yanshan Camp?

So when Li Chi thought of this, he also made a decision in his mind. If he had to assist someone in the future, then this person would be Yu Chaozong.

Li Chi thought that the shortcomings of Yu Chaozong's character could be supplemented by him. This was the first time Li Chi took the initiative to think about such things. He even thought about other people carefully, such as Prince Yu, Jiedu, and everyone he knew who could compete for the world. However, in his mind, the appearance of a benevolent king did not fit these people, and the only one that fitted was Yu Chaozong.

Li Chi had more thoughts in his heart. People like Prince Yu would not look down on the people. People of their kind rely on the same kind of people. They would think that the people are worthless grass.

So Li Chi thought, why did Brother Yu, who was like this, compete with someone like Prince Yu to compete for the world?

Only the people’s hearts.

Prince Yu has the support of major forces in Jizhou. Those big families will provide Prince Yu with continuous gold and silver funding. When the situation is clear in the future, they will not only participate in gold and silver funding, but will also participate in it in person.

But Brother Yu has no other place to compare with Prince Yu except for the people's hearts.

But what is the world?

Really a thousand miles of land?

No, it is the people, all the people.

This is the first big life goal set by Li Chi, who was fourteen and a half years old, for himself. He wants to help Yu Chaozong make the world come back to the bright world.

Yu Jiuling has always been by Li Chi's side. He watched the changes in the sky from late night to early morning, and also watched the changes in Li Chi's face from heavy to bright. At that moment, Yu Jiuling knew that Li Chi had figured it out.

"Go to have a meal, it's time for us to pay."

Yu Jiuling stretched out his hand, and Li Chi also stretched out his hand.

After pulling Li Chi up, Yu Jiuling tried to smile and said in a relaxed tone: "After what happened last night, the black warriors may not come to sneak attack at night again. They are going to attack openly, which seems better."

Li Chi nodded. When all the threats from the enemy are on the surface, even if the enemy is strong enough, it seems relatively better. When an equally powerful enemy threatens himself with means not on the surface, the weak side will always appear helpless and uneasy.

Life and death are all in the clear, which is great.

After breakfast, Li Chi and Yu Jiuling returned to the city wall with food. Xiahou Zhuo had not slept for a night, and there was a faint blood in his eyes. Li Chi handed the food to Xiahou Zhuo and said, "Gen. Tan was fighting, General Liu was seriously injured. Now we have to divide the team into three batches. Yu Jiuling and I will take one batch, and you will take one batch, so that Zhuang Wudi will take one batch."

Xiahou Zhuo nodded and simply replied decisively: "Then I'll go back and rest. I'll be on duty in the second half of the night. Let Zhuang Wudi come up in the first half of the night. You can stare at it now."

Li Chi said: "I won't call you to come to the city wall. You don't have to come up with a big deal, just have a good sleep."

Xiahou Zhuo's mouth raised slightly and nodded: "I know."

He trusted Li Chi, and Li Chi's feeling of trust will make people ignore his real age.

On the city wall, Li Chi summoned Tan Qianshou's subordinates. In fact, there were not many veterans of Tan Qianshou, most of whom were brave and brave.

"I'll take over the command of General Tan Qianshou. You may not know me, or you may think that I may not be able to lead a good team when I am young, but I don't plan to say more to prove that I have this ability. No matter how beautiful I say, it's useless, so I'll only say two things."

Li Chi stretched out his hand: "First, I will not stand behind you when the enemy comes. Second, you can run away after I die."

He turned around and looked out of the city, and after a moment of silence, he said, "My name is Li Chi."

The enemy is really coming.

An hour later, the overwhelming black warrior army came up, almost filling the entire mountain gorge and the main open space outside the border. Standing on the city wall and looking into the distance, it seemed that it was a group of people, but a group of dense black dots.

Li Chi put the quiver beside him and turned to Yu Jiuling and said, "I asked someone to make a nail shot a few days ago. Now I have used it, and I will bring it all up."

Yu Jiuling immediately took people to carry nail pats. Before this, the city defense weapons had never used such tactics. After Li Chi thought about it a few days ago, he asked Tan Qianshou and Liu Mu's people to help build them.

Each nail slap is about five feet long and is made of new wood. There are many long nails nailed down one side of the nail slap, and the exposed part of the nail is about three or four inches. These nail slap are used to help hang on battlements with thick ropes. In the past few days, there have been about twenty pieces.

"Bring the water in the big pot to a boil!"

Li Chi gave another order.

More than a dozen large pots were supported on the city wall, filled with snow. The firewood under the large pot was lit, and the snow gradually melted.

"Listen to my order and shoot the arrow!"

Li Chi shouted loudly: "My feather arrows are limited, hang the prepared wooden boards outside the city wall!"

In addition to nail pats, Li Chi also asked someone to split countless wooden boards and hang the boards outside the city wall, especially the walls with a few more pieces.

The sound of horns siege outside the city sounded, and the black warriors began to push forward neatly. As they approached the city wall, their speed increased, and the neat square formation dispersed, looking like ants that had exploded.

"Shoot the arrow!"

Li Chi shouted violently.

The feathered arrows on the city wall were brought by Xiahou Zhuo, and the number was quite small. However, God knew how long the border would take to defend, and God knew whether reinforcements would be arrived, so every feathered arrow could not be wasted.

He put the enemy in about twenty feet before he started firing arrows. Wherever the arrow went, the soldier in the front of the black warrior fell down neatly as if he had been knocked down by a sickle.

The black warrior's arrow formation began to cover the city wall, trying to beat the defenders to the point of being unable to raise their heads. The feather arrows were dense, and they bumped into the head and faced like a locust plague.

"The enemy has arrived at the city!"

A Chu soldier asked Li Chi in a hoarse voice: "Do you want to put the nails on it?" Li Chi shook his head: "Listen to my orders and let it go!"

After holding on for about a while, the city was already crowded with people. Li Chi held up his shield and looked down, then shouted: "Let go!"

Amid the whistling sound, more than twenty nails fell down, whistling over the heads of the black warriors. Below the nails were nailed three or four inches long, and they were nailed directly into the head of the black warriors. On the other hand, they slapped down, and at least four or five black warriors were killed.

"Pull it up and put it!"

Hearing Li Chi's shouts, the soldiers pulled the rope hard and slapped the nails up, and then suddenly let go. The nails slapped and fell down again. Countless nails poked in from the heads of the black warriors. When they were pulled up, the blood and brain plasma on the nails were still dripping down.

The black warriors suffered a lot of losses, but their troops were even more powerful. More and more people came to the bottom of the city wall and began to push the ladder upwards.

"Have the water boiled?!"

Li Chi turned around and shouted.

"alright!"

Yu Jiuling answered loudly.

Li Chi stretched out his hand and pointed: "Splash these bastards!"

The soldiers carried a large iron pot and poured it down at the black warriors on the ladder, pouring it down on their heads. The hot water poured down and thick white air came out. The smoke swept over the black warriors' wailing sound seemed so shrill.

"Burn again!"

When Li Chi shouted, his voice was broken.

The soldiers carried the iron pot back and shoveled the snow that had been transported in advance into the iron pot with a shovel. The fire below was still strong and the snow melted quickly.

This cold winter weather, especially in the mountains in the northern border, is even more cold. It won’t take long to pour boiling water to turn it into ice chips. Li Chi is trying to turn the outside of this pass into an ice city.

The black warriors under the city cried and howled. Some people fell directly from the ladder with boiling water. They reached out to wipe the splashed face. The skin on their faces fell off a layer. Some people reached out to pull the person who fell down, grabbed their hands and pulled them up. The skin on the back of their hands was rubbed off.

When the nail was pulled up, some corpses were taken away from the ground, their heads were hung by nails, and the corpses were swaying. The dead people were turning their eyes upwards, as if they wanted to see what was in their heads.

The siege lasted for an hour. The black warriors left a large number of corpses and had to retreat. When the trumpet of the black warriors retreated, everyone on the city wall cheered. They looked at Li Chi. No matter how old the man was, there was no doubt in their eyes when they looked at Li Chi, only admiration and trust were left.

Li Chi felt this trusty look, he clasped his fists and glanced around, then leaned over and bowed.

He stood up and said loudly, "Retrieve the wooden boards outside the city wall, pull out all the feather arrows, put them back, pat the nails, and the black warriors will come up. We don't have much time to be happy."

"yes!"

Everyone responded.

At the end of the city wall, Xiahou Zhuo, who came up quietly, looked at this scene and smiled like a relieved old mother. He trusted Li Chi. He knew that Li Chi could fight this battle well, but he was just worried about Li Chi's safety.

On the other side, Zhuang Wudi also relaxed and breathed a long sigh.

While everyone was cheering, Xiahou Zhuo quietly left the city wall. He returned to his place where he lived, threw himself on the kang in a large shape, and for some reason he cracked his mouth and laughed.

That way, it was like seeing the little leopard raised by his mother leopard, who was finally able to hunt alone, and the little piglet raised by his mother leopard, who was finally learning to give him cabbage.
