Chapter 417: The apparent disadvantage

The Xixia people in the rear were also busy. During the few days of truce, the Song army was busy consolidating the city defense, while they were busy cutting down trees.

The Xixia people had many camels and horses, and now they were dragging in countless logs, and the covered space above the trenches was getting wider and wider.

Behind the ballista's attack range, on a platform made of logs above the trench, several huge wooden structures began to be built. The huge base indicated that it would be a terrifying siege weapon.

Adunlie pointed to those locations: "Great witch! What is that? Do you want to send a team out to destroy it?"

Su You was busy tallying up the data sent by the team. He looked up and said, "I'll go! Have the Xixia people made this thing? This is a giant trebuchet!"

Adunlie said: "Then I'll let Qidi set the fire!"

Su You threw the telescope to Adunlie: "Why panic? This thing can't be finished in a day or two. You first use the telescope to take a good look and see if there are people guiding the project nearby, especially those who look at it."

Qi Qi is obviously not of the same clan as the Dangxiang people."

"Keep an eye on those people. When we counterattack, these people will be the focus. Inform the entire army that they must be captured alive by me! Each one is worth the reward of five prisoners!"

Adunlie said in surprise: "So valuable?"

Su You said: "Such a big trebuchet contains not a trace of engineering and mechanics skills. If you don't know it, let them teach you. It won't be embarrassing!"

After saying that, he felt a little worried: "The great witch has given you his life, can you keep it?"

Adunlie sneered and said: "Your village is a hundred times better than the black-hearted one who dealt with Konoha Man! Besides, isn't there a thunder to the sky? I'm just afraid that the Xixia people will run too fast now!"

Su You watched the Xixia people building wooden covers for the trenches in the distance below the city. He touched his chin and said, "Zhentianlei Xixia people don't seem to know yet. That's for the best. We can hide it as long as we can."

"Our crossbows are sharp, so the Xixia people use trenches to avoid the arrows. They are so smart... Well, maybe there is a chance to trick them again..."

After saying that, he stood up and said: "I estimate that the Xixia people will retreat in a few days. You have to beware of their final madness. I will go and say hello to the Tibetan people first, so as not to capsize the boat in the ditch."

Adunlie was quite surprised: "Great Witch, how did you know that the Xixia people were about to retreat?"

Su You tapped his temple with his index finger: "Ariel, when you reach your level, you need to think more strategically about issues."

…

The brutal attack and defense continued for three days, and several terrifying large machines gradually took shape.

The stone bullets thrown out of the village were collected by the Xixia people and put into bamboo baskets together with the boulders collected from everywhere to turn into larger projectiles, one estimated to weigh thirty kilograms.

The trenches were gradually covered with logs, making it more and more convenient for the Xixia people to attack.

The crossbow arrows on the city head gradually became sparse, and the stone bullets became less and less. Everything seemed to be developing in a direction beneficial to the Xixia people.

However, Su You didn't think so. After several days of war, Su You convened the Zhuge Liang Meeting every night with the soldiers participating in the war. The members ranged from senior generals like Adunlie, to commanders at all levels, to the provincial level, and finally to ordinary soldiers.

The science and engineering team went deep into the team to collect in-depth opinions on all aspects of weapons, tactics, operational procedures, and even medical care and diet, with a view to improving it next time.

The city defense war, just as we discussed it again and again, became more and more efficient. It was not as good as it was at the beginning, with random shooting and throwing.

Therefore, it seems that the arrow stones are gradually becoming sparse, but in fact the efficiency has not decreased much.

The two armies of Dun'an and Control He have been accumulated in this way for more than ten years. Although it was difficult at the beginning, they have gradually shown huge advantages.

Almost all advanced technologies began by serving war.

The number of troops on the ground of the Xixia people has significantly decreased. This is the report of the science and engineering observation team. They have long grasped the traces of the Xixia people digging tunnels and hiding their troops underground.

In a day or two, it will be the last moment of Stud.

…

In Weizhou City, Li Ruoyu was extremely anxious.

He was an internal official, originally the deputy envoy of the supply storehouse, carrying royal equipment, and the emperor's personal bodyguard.

Although he is a eunuch, he is also highly skilled in martial arts and proficient in tactics.

Nowadays, the authority to station soldiers and horses on the first road is given to the outside world, and it is also responsible for the official affairs of the Tibetan tribe on Qinfeng Road. In addition, it is also responsible for an army stationed in the field.

In Beijing, I heard the big guys boasting about Su Mingrun's clever tricks to plan Zhi Ya and Zhuge, but when I arrived in Weizhou, I realized that it was not the case at all.

Su Tanhua was surrounded by Xixia people in Dun'an Village!

The Zhenrong army, which was clearly supported by troops more than ten miles away, was willing to make a small trial and refused to send troops to rescue them on the pretext that the enemy's defense was very tight!

Cai Que, the civil servant of Weizhou City, adhered to the order given by Governor Xiao Su when he left, to appease Weizhou, manage logistics well, and not allow the military to interfere!

Several promotion officials, they wish Su You had died outside!

Xue Xiang and Cai Ting, one went to Huanzhou and the other went to Qingzhou!

Opposite Weizhou is the main force of the Xia army! Liang Zuo is right there! Do these people know anything about military affairs? What are they doing?!

Thinking of the scene before leaving the palace, Li Ruoyu couldn't help but tremble.

Knowing that he was coming to Weizhou, the Queen Mother specially summoned him.

In fact, he didn't say anything. He just said that Xiao Su Tanhua was doing well in Kuizhou, but he summoned him back to Beijing on the spur of the moment. He expected him to enjoy two years of happiness and marry a housewife, but he encountered the rudeness of the Xia envoy.

He was immediately sent to Weizhou.

Now that things are urgent in the West, the Queen Mother is kind-hearted, so she is worried that the Meishan monkey will not end up. This wife has not yet been married, right?

The harem was full of turmoil, a place where people would eat without spitting out their bones. The Queen Mother's gossip seemed to be nothing, but beside her sat the Queen, Prince Ying.

This is the will of the royal family, at least the will of the two palaces and the crown prince!

We cannot let Su You die! This is the bottom line!

There was also a little girl, dressed plainly, standing quietly on the side, with a pair of bright eyes.

The confident and calm look on her face is completely different from that of the maids who serve people in the palace.

To put it bluntly, many first- and second-grade princesses are not as calm as she is in front of the two palaces and the prince.

Is this Mr. Xiao Su who is responsible for the education of the royal children?

Li Ruoyu understood immediately!

A charity lottery won 160,000 yuan, and then the glass workshop and the match workshop flourished.

In Futian Courtyard, Yuci Courtyard, and in Bianjing City, widows and widowers are all supported.

As soon as winter arrives, snow-bearing radishes and cabbage are on the market.

Rich people are busy opening cellars, while poor people are busy making pickles.

Plus the bean sprouts on the stove, the chives on the official village...

As long as you pick up the rice bowl, you can see the kindness of the royal family.

During this year's great flood, the Huangsong Charity Federation donated 300,000 yuan to the imperial court at one time for special relief for the victims. Even the chief ministers and political officials came to express their praise.

If the imperial censors dare to talk about something to win people's hearts, in a house with bright windows and clear windows, the Taixue students who have eaten their fill of Taixue steamed buns will dare to come to the door with books in hand.

What does it mean that the heart of heaven is the heart of the people!

The Queen Mother said more than once that Emperor Renzong's decades of hardship had been in vain, and that only cutting expenditures was not enough, and that the right way was to increase revenue.

Today's empress dowager, empress, and the entire royal family have a growing reputation in Bianjing City that is unknown to other places in the Song Dynasty.

Yao, Tian, ​​and Shun!

With everyone benefiting, the Queen Mother selected two imperial estates with a wave of her hand to build glass greenhouses and grow off-season vegetables!

You care about the health of the official family and the royal family, and you don’t have to spend a penny from the imperial court. What’s wrong with growing some green vegetables?!

The supervisors of Huangzhuang are several internal officials, and the one who presides over this matter is an old lady. If the censors dare to talk about the incompatibility of yin and yang, they should be asked to come to the old lady to talk about whether they should take care of the oldest person.

The disharmony of yin and yang moves out of the palace!
