"Do I need to lie to you? Your life or death depends on my backhand."
"Don't be too happy too early. The ghost soldiers sent by Wu Sheng are extremely cruel. There are not many people left in the Acropolis. Your family is likely to be killed."
Long Chen doesn't tell lies, he doesn't want to tell lies, and he can't tell lies.
The higher the status, the more honest people must be.
The reason is simple. If you tell lies, your subordinates will no longer believe you after being deceived, and you will not be able to lead your subordinates.
If you want to enforce orders and prohibitions, every word must be true and every word must be implemented.
This is also the reason why the emperor is asked not to joke.
If the emperor wants to have absolute authority, he must be absolutely honest.
Feng Yang's excited face dimmed, and he sighed slightly: "I understand, we all saw the tragic situation in the city at that time."
Feng Yang is neither deaf nor blind nor stupid. He knows exactly what the ghost soldiers did in the Acropolis.
When he was in the ice field, he said he hated Long Chen because he wanted to cooperate with Li Chengdao.
Of course, Feng Yang actually hated Long Chen. He hated Long Chen for not defending the acropolis and not protecting his family.
"This is your chance for revenge, it's up to you."
Long Chen patted Feng Yang on the shoulder and told Han Ziping: "Take him down."
Han Ziping stepped forward and said: "Brother, during the war, if you feel wronged, come with me."
Feng Yang bowed and said, "Thank you very much, King Wu, for not killing me."
If you take him down and lock him up, you won't kill him. Feng Yang is overjoyed.
"You know something about the ghost soldiers, is King Wu willing to listen?"
Feng Yang reciprocated the favor and took the initiative to hand over intelligence about the ghost clan.
Of course, this is also done to show loyalty and increase one's chances of survival.
"Oh, tell me."
Long Chen said lightly.
The purpose of catching Feng Yang back was to get some information from him, but Long Chen didn't want to press him, as the information he would get out of that way might not be true.
"General Li...Li Chengdao has 30,000 men, all of whom were captured from the Acropolis."
"In addition, there are more than 8,000 barbarians, the three tribes that were deceived last time. After being killed by King Wu for a while, the rest were also led by Li Chengdao."
"We have three lieutenants, I am one of them, and there are two others. The one who captured King Wu was Han Hu, and the one who was kicked away by King Wu was Ma Chenglong."
"The ghost tribe has assembled more than 90,000 ghost soldiers. The leader is the ghost tribe's high priest Mo Ling. He has three-month-old ghost generals under his command, namely Yue Ling, Yue Yue and Yue Xi."
"One more thing. This time, the ghost tribe formed a crossbow camp according to Li Chengdao's suggestion. Their bone bows have a very long range. King Wu must be careful."
After hearing so much, the last sentence is the most useful.
Long Chen asked: "How many crossbowmen are there? How far is the range of the bone bow?"
Feng Yang said: "The number of people was originally five thousand, but later expanded to eight thousand. The range is up to a thousand steps at a distance and more than 500 steps at a close range."
The bone bows of the ghost clan are not made uniformly, and the range is unstable. It is normal for them to range from far to near.
The crossbows of the Zhou army came from Linglong Pavilion, were manufactured in batches, and had a very stable range.
"Why is it so messy?"
Han Ziping couldn't help but complain.
Han Ziping commanded the Long Family Army's crossbow camp. He was an archer himself. The range difference between the ghost bows and crossbows was so large that they were completely useless.
During a battle, if you calculate that the enemy has entered the shooting range, and when you order the arrows to be released, you find that half of the crossbow arrows do not have enough range, it would be a mess.
"The bone bows of the ghost tribe are not made uniformly. It is normal for the range to be different. I just find it strange that the ghost tribe makes a living by fishing, so why do they have crossbows?"
Long Chen thought carefully about what was wrong. The ice field was frozen for thousands of miles, and the only source of food was fish under the ice.
The tools they use should be harpoons and the like. What are they using crossbows for?
Dugu Jiali finally understood and said: "Yes, the ghost tribe doesn't hunt, why do they need crossbows?"
This question stumped Feng Yang.
"King Wu, the younger one was also arrested. I don't know the situation of the ghost clan."
Feng Yang only dared to say what he knew and didn't dare to talk nonsense about things he didn't know.
"It's okay, just keep talking."
Long Chen did not continue to ask, it was normal for Feng Yang to be unclear.
If you want to find out why the ghost clan has bows and crossbows, you may have to catch the ghost soldiers to find out.
"There is another one. Li Chengdao got a very powerful weapon from Wu Sheng, called Xuanwu Sword. It is said to be the weapon of his Li family ancestor Li Yuanba."
Long Chen nodded slightly and said, "Well, I know. I saw it when I was in the east of the Black Forest that day. It's really good."
Feng Yang was a little surprised and asked: "Is it really King Wu who captured the holy beast that day?"
At that time, it was Feng Yang who followed Li Chengdao into the black forest to search.
When he arrived with his men, the battle was already over.
Afterwards, Li Chengdao was beaten until he was covered in blood, and Feng Yang heard that Long Chen had captured the holy beast.
This is what Li Chengdao said, and it was confirmed today by Long Chen.
"Don't you know?"
Long Chen asked back, could it be that Li Chengdao concealed such a big thing?
Feng Yang replied: "I know that Li Chengdao reported this matter to the Martial Saint, and was beaten until he was covered in blood. He stayed in bed for a long time before he recovered."
Long Chen smiled and said: "Being beaten so badly? It's my fault, I really didn't mean it."
This happened in the ice field, so it was impossible for Feng He to find out, and neither did Long Chen.
Hearing that Li Chengdao was beaten badly, Long Chen was quite happy.
"Li Chengdao brought the blame on himself and deserved to be beaten."
Feng Yang followed suit and scolded Li Chengdao for what he deserved.
Long Chen smiled, he didn't like people like Feng Yang.
Leaving Li Chengdao was not considered a betrayal, because Feng Yang was arrested, but as soon as he got here, he scolded Li Chengdao like a dog, which was really inappropriate.
"Is there anything else?"
Long Chen asked.
Feng Yang thought about it carefully and said: "There is nothing else, just these."
Long Chen nodded, and Han Ziping took Feng Yang down to be imprisoned.
"Husband, the ghost tribe has a crossbow camp. We need to change our strategy and not let their crossbowmen get close."
Dugu Jiali is in charge of the crossbow camp. He knows that random arrows are the most terrifying during a battle.
The bone bow has different shooting ranges, but its lethality is definitely still there, and it cannot be shot.
"Well, first target the crossbow camp and destroy them, or at least disrupt their formation."
Long Chen thought the same way. He must first destroy the crossbow battalion to reduce the casualties of soldiers.
"I think we can use a catapult to throw the explosives."
Long Chen thought for a while, and the most suitable one was the catapult. Put the explosive package on the catapult, so that it can be thrown the farthest.
"The catapult... must be established on both sides."
Dugu Jiali glanced at the catapults behind the pass. For safety, these catapults were arranged behind the positions to prevent them from being destroyed.
If you want to deal with the ghost bow and crossbow camp, you need to move forward, and the forward positions on both sides can be used just right.
Of course, positions placed on both sides can also be easily destroyed.
In the last battle, the ghost tribe attacked from both sides.
"Build it now and finish it before the ghost tribe attacks."
Long Chen felt that Dugu Jiali's suggestion was feasible.
"The ghost clan has arrived outside, is it too late?"
The catapult is more responsible and takes a day to complete, so Dugu Jiali was worried that it would be too late.
"I estimate that the Martial Saint will rest for a day and attack again tomorrow. It's too late to set up now."
The ghost clan's morale has been hit by a sneak attack just now, so the Martial Saint should take a rest.
Dugu Jiali immediately gathered people to install the catapult.
