Fifteen asked for a lot of barbecue seasonings from the princess and was the chef today. He was squatting by the fire and sprinkling seasonings on the meat skewers when he saw a homing pigeon flying away in the night: "Quickly, add more vegetables."
Got it!"
Thirteen quickly stopped adding firewood, and a few of them jumped on the treetops to catch up. They took out the darts and shot the 'adding vegetables' down. First, they took off the bamboo tube tied to the pigeon's leg and put it away, and then pulled it out.
Mao disembowelled her in one go.
"There are a lot of 'additional dishes' tonight." Fifteen took the pigeon handed over by Thirteen, skewered it with bamboo skewers, and grilled it together on the iron rack.
"If I had known there were so many, we wouldn't have needed to prepare any additional meat." Before Fourteen finished speaking, he saw another pigeon flying into the sky and quickly chased after it.
"Don't be afraid of more. It will be roasted soon and I will give Boss and the others a few to try." Fifteen happily flipped the ingredients on the grill. The princess has long said that there is nothing that a barbecue cannot solve. If there is,
Then two meals!
On the first night when I camped fifteen miles away from Hutou City, I could always smell the tantalizing smell of barbecue near the outskirts of the camp. Many people fell asleep smelling the aroma, and of course, many people stayed up all night.
Hard to sleep.
Early the next morning, the soldiers conducted daily drills, and the foremen made fire to make food. In the early morning morning, everything was in order in the military camp.
Mingruo liked the military camp very much in the morning. It looked prosperous and full of vitality.
Mingruo and Si Haochen had breakfast together, then went to her camp to start refining medicine. The city would be attacked tomorrow, and there would definitely be casualties. All she could do was prepare more emergency medicine.
Si Haochen discussed the siege plan with several generals, and everyone felt that a night raid would be more effective. The old military advisor sat there and listened, looking as if the mountain was collapsing but his expression remained unchanged.
"What does the military advisor think?" Si Haochen said solemnly.
Being suddenly called upon, the old military advisor was stunned for a moment. Since Prince Yun led the troops alone, he had not asked for his opinion for a long time.
"I think it might be better to fight in the daytime to observe the situation," the old military advisor said slowly.
"Why don't you say that Beichi Dazi shoots arrows from a high position, so it's easier to aim!" Vice Admiral Xue has a straight temper. Even if you are an experienced military advisor, you can still shoot him. #@$&
"What Vice General Xue said is absolutely true. I also think that a night raid is better." Vice General Chen quickly agreed.
"Then take a good rest today and make adequate preparations. Attack the city the next day!" Si Haochen made the decision.
Several people discussed some specific matters regarding troop formation and then dispersed.
The old military advisor slowly walked out of the Chinese army's tent. After walking a long way, he turned around and looked around. Then he continued to walk forward. Many times, once you take one step, there is no turning back.
Mingruo finished refining a batch of medicine and went outside to get some fresh air. He saw Lu Qiaojiang, who was leading the soldiers in the agency battalion to maintain the chariot weapons. Mingruo had never seen ancient weapons, so he stood on the side and looked at them curiously.%&(&
Lu Qiaojiang was like Bai Shen. When he saw the princess, he saw a treasure, and he always wanted to come up with good ideas. He quickly stepped forward to salute, and in order to get some constructive opinions, he began to introduce the functions of these weapons to the princess——
"This is a catapult, which can bounce stones off the city wall. This is a ram, which can ram into the city gate, and also use its height advantage to shoot rockets into the city..."
In Mingruo's opinion, these weapons are not very reliable: "Have you ever thought about blowing open the city gate?"
"Explode..." Lu Qiaojiang's eyes suddenly lit up. He had studied gunpowder before. The purpose was to use it as a defense when defending the city, or to make fire thunder and throw it directly into the enemy camp. He had never thought about directly using it to break down the city gate.
use.
Mingruo also gave Lu Qiaojiang a plan to "group charges to prevent the explosion speed from being too low", which was to make it look like an explosive pack to increase the blasting strength.
Lu Qiaojiang felt that the princess had opened the door to a new world for him. He stopped paying attention to the maintenance of the equipment and went into his workshop to get busy.
When Mingruo thought of gunpowder, his alarm bells rang loudly, and he rushed straight into the tent.
Si Haochen was writing a letter behind the desk. When he saw Mingruo coming in, he smiled and stretched out his hand: "Come here."
Mingruo walked to Si Haochen and said eagerly: "I thought of something."
"Don't be anxious, speak slowly." Si Haochen also saw that something was wrong.
"The Beichi envoys bought a lot of gunpowder jars in Luo City before. I suspect that this is not the first time they bought gunpowder!" If it hadn't been agreed, as foreign envoys, how would they know when the Persian merchants would arrive in Luo City...
…
"They also planted fire mines outside Hutou City!" Si Haochen also thought of the seriousness of the matter.
"That's what I think." Mingruo didn't have any evidence for this and relied entirely on intuition.
Beichi's army had a geographical advantage in defending the city. If they buried jars filled with gunpowder outside the city and set fire to it when Donghuan's army moved in, the mere sound of the movement would scare people away, not to mention how lethal it would be.
.
Si Haochen took this matter very seriously and quickly sent people to investigate.
Seeing that Si Haochen had made arrangements, Mingruo felt relieved for the time being and continued to go back to refine the medicine.
The day passed peacefully, and everyone dealt with the matters at hand in an orderly manner. However, after nightfall, Fifteen and his friends ate a lot of roasted pigeon.
Fifteen threw the bones in his hands into the fire: "The roasted pigeons are so sick of them. I really don't know where they got so many carrier pigeons. They didn't finish them in two days."
"How about instead of roasting one, let's make soup." Fourteen suggested.
"Okay." Fifteen thought it would be good to change the taste. It is meat after all.
A streak of white fish belly appears on the horizon. The gang leader got up very early today and has basically prepared breakfast. Today's breakfast is full of oil and water. In addition to whole grain pancakes, there is also mutton soup.
The conditions in the army were not good, and meat was only available on war days. Therefore, when the soldiers saw the mutton soup served in the morning when eating, they knew that there would be a war soon.
After breakfast, Si Haochen ordered that he personally led 80,000 elite troops to attack the city.
Didn't you mean to launch a surprise attack at night? How could it be so far in advance! When the old military advisor heard the news, he was completely stunned: "His Royal Highness Prince Yun, attack the city in daylight... The target is too big and inappropriate..."
"I have thought about it for a long time and feel that what the military advisor said yesterday is very true. It is better to attack the city during the day." Si Haochen answered calmly.
After all, the old military advisor had been with Si Haochen for many years, and he still keenly saw the secrets in his eyes. The old military advisor's heart skipped a beat. In this case, the information he sent last night would be inaccurate. This is not okay!
The old military advisor felt that he had to do something: "Your Highness, Prince Yun, please think twice. It is indeed not a good time to attack the city during the day."
"The military advisor has changed this day, and I am overwhelmed." Si Haochen was too lazy to pay attention to him, and rode to the front of the team, raised his arms and shouted, "Let's go!"
