"I've looked at the pictures you found, and there seems to be no good way except fire attack." Mr. Yan turned around and said, "But your uncle also said that we don't have much time. Instead of studying the method of restraint, we might as well
Time and resources are spent on reproducing those few things to offset each other.”
Yan Yu imagined such a scene.
"Smash each other?"
Car-ramming trebuchet or something like that, the main thing is to hurt each other?
Yan Laoer choked, sometimes he really admired his daughter's thinking.
"No, it's a hedging in the literal sense. Oh, what your uncle means is that if they have it, we have it, but if they don't have it, we will suffer. Well, we both have it. In a fight, we won't be short of others.
Do you understand what I say?" Yan Laoer asked.
Yan Yu nodded, indicating that he understood.
Others may not understand what her father said, but who is she? She is very perceptive.
Yan Laoer expressed satisfaction with his daughter's understanding and continued: "As for the catapult, it is not possible to play it by just one person. If you want to point out where to hit, it takes a long time to practice. People in Xizhou have it for a long time.
Prepare, we are not rushing to train such talents now, what can we do? Let's make a few more, and put them on the city mainly to intimidate. If the Xizhou soldiers come to attack the city again, we can just smash them. Smash more.
It can always be smashed."
"No, dad, we also have catapults. They are not unique to Xizhou." Yan Yu objected.
Yan Laoer: "Yes. Is it the same as having an accurate head? I heard from the captured Xizhou soldiers that there are people in the Qi King's army who specialize in practicing this, and they also practice flint bullets."
"Cannonball?!" Yan Yu's eyes widened, no way?!!!
"No, no. Although there are a lot of explosive ores in Xizhou and the gunpowder is more skilled, it is still difficult to use it in weapons. They didn't let them make a real killer weapon. They just heated the stone and put some iron in it.
Tribulus and the like will bloom as soon as you throw them in, which can cause serious damage to people."
Yan Yu:……
It is also very impressive in today's battlefield where cold weapons are the mainstay.
"Dad, it's very dangerous for King Qi to have this thing! The siege ladder has to be close to the city wall to be effective. The role of the catapult is relatively simple. It is used to break open the city gate. But this catapult, if King Qi really trains it well,
If you attack the slinger and think of various ways to increase its power, then it is another big threat besides the cavalry."
Yan Yu frowned: "Resisting based on quantity alone is of no use."
Yan Laoer looked around cautiously.
As soon as Yan Yu saw his movement, he pulled him to an open space.
The two men squatted down skillfully.
The biggest secret of whispering is to find an open place, lower your level, and whisper in a low voice.
"Why do you want the craftsmen to follow the drawings and toss those people from Xizhou back and forth to redeem people? It's all a deception! If there is something going on here in Guanzhou, the other side of Xizhou will know about it. Hey, tell me about it.
It's like a sieve. That King of Qi is really insidious. He has been laying maggots on us many years ago. The King of England and the Crown Prince are quite helpless. You don't know, even private letters to the imperial army have been intercepted by the West.
The spies from the state have found out, and they use this matter to show us their strength, and they also want to persuade our prince to surrender, how annoying!"
Yan Laoer was very angry.
"Is our prince rebelling against them? Okay, otherwise he will become a prince. If he rebels, the best result is still a prince. It would be foolish to think that our prince is a prince!"
"It's so funny. Who came up with it?" Yan Yu deeply felt that the person who proposed this idea was very lacking in IQ.
"No matter who the bastard is, there is no sincerity on either side of this redemption negotiation." Yan Laoer added: "When I went back to write this matter, I originally wanted to have a flanking attack with the imperial army. Even if it couldn't be done, at least it could
Thank you for your cooperation. Fortunately, your uncle is cautious! This first letter didn’t contain anything crucial at all. It was just a casual communication of feelings. Otherwise, it would be really bad if any information was leaked. Do you think King Qi made those catapults for us?
Don't be afraid, dad can't sleep every night and has nightmares about the flaming stones hitting my head."
Yan Laoer unconsciously touched his head. It was good. His hair, which had been slightly cooled by the whooshing breeze, was quite slippery.
"Your uncle said that we should seize the opportunity to fight, use the prince to paralyze them, first capture the main force of Xizhou, disarm them, and then capture their slingers alive and use them for our own purposes. This is called
We are on par with Xizhou, so we can have a chance to go back and forth."
Yan Yu thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "Actually, we have a way to deal with those catapults. As long as we know their location in advance and let Jiuxiao go over and destroy them, it's a very simple matter. But, this has been exposed and is very inappropriate."
Yan Laoer was startled and said quickly: "No, no, Dabao, we can't do anything wrong.
"I know dad, just think about it and use Jiuxiao to deliver the letter. I will never take any other risks." Yan Yu solemnly promised.
"It scares me to death, Dabao. This battle should be fought as hard as we can. Don't fight beyond our capabilities. Think about your uncle. He takes one step and sees several steps.
, He is not doing anything else now, he is thinking about Xizhou every day, what do you think King Qi will do well?" Yan Laoer really felt that King Qi made his eldest brother miss him so much that he would be buried soon.
"Then he will be finished sooner or later!" Yan Yu laughed so hard that his eyes went blank.
Suddenly, I felt that the air had become fragrant!
"Uncle said he didn't say when the fight will be fought? So what can we do? Will these five thousand recruits go to the battlefield? Has uncle arranged a separate mission for you?" Yan Yu asked a series of questions.
Yan Laoer:......
"What kind of person do you think your father is? It's amazing to be able to hear this. Then your uncle and the others were very tight when they were conspiring, no, discussing matters. If your father hadn't been your uncle's biological brother, your master would have been
His only direct disciple cannot even get close."
Yan Laoer still relied on his own judgment and replied: "These five thousand recruits are regarded as reserve forces. The King of England and your master asked me to come back to train the troops. But your uncle Xue seems to have been reused and joined the prince's side."
When it came to integrating the three border armies, that guy was so excited that he was trembling all over!"
Yan Yu wanted to laugh when she heard the adjective "her father", but Xue Baihu was indeed a real military veteran. Although his official position was up and down, his own ability was not as strong as her father...
She looked at her father's face carefully, and it seemed that he was not aware of the fact that she was assigned to train in the rear?
"By the way, dad, where are my craftsmen? Where are my large group of craftsmen of all kinds?" Yan Yu thought of the people she had been looking forward to coming these days.
Rural construction needs them!
"Well, Dabao, those people may have to wait a while." Yan Laoer lowered his head and drew circles on the ground with his fingers.
Yan Yu secretly thought bad about it when he saw it.
"Dad, where are the people? Where are my people now?"
"Who are you? I didn't write your name, so...your uncle wanted to leave some, and your master wanted to leave some. Dabao, really, they are all serious business. Your uncle picked a few people to go back and seduce more."
When the people of the state come, your master will repair the city defenses and expand his workshops to make weapons and so on. Really, this is all serious business."
