Chapter 457 Ballista and Catapult
After killing two surrender envoys in a row, General Taki of the Frostwolf Army finally came to his senses and was so angry that he almost led the Frostwolf Army to fight up the mountain. He breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Damn you bitch of Zhou, how dare you humiliate me?
The soldiers of the Holy Dynasty are ordered to surround them without killing them. I will let them starve to death on the mountain."
Lin Su on the mountain couldn't help but laugh, "Now the generals in the North are so angry that their noses are crooked. Are they asking for surrender? I really think that people like us in the world are easy to provoke, and they are blinded by their dog eyes."
"Pavilion Master Lin is wise." The envoy forced a smile that was uglier than crying and asked: "Do you think General Taki will become angry because he personally sent his men to discuss with you..."
Lin Su said: "It is inevitable to become angry when the two countries are at war. We killed the people he sent without killing the envoy. This is against the rules. However, the murderer is the master of the pavilion. We are not members of the imperial court. Use
There is no need to follow the rules when dealing with us. Killing their people is to tell them that we will never surrender and will kill them if we dare."
If the messenger's legs become weak, he will collapse.
It's over, it's over, the Frostwolf Army has been greatly offended.
Lin Su added: "It is precisely because we announced this that the Frost Wolf Army dared not attack the mountain. Even though the Frost Wolf Army could not bear the losses of our desperate counterattack."
"They will stay at the foot of the mountain until our food and water sources are exhausted. This is the best strategy."
Luo Qiu shrugged, "My generation of warriors has vast energy and blood. We can withstand half a month without eating or drinking. The Frostwolf Army may not be able to defend for half a month."
Not eating or drinking for half a month...
The envoy was trembling for a while. He had not eaten or drank for three days, let alone half a month, and he was so hungry that he was dizzy. He was not a martial artist at first, and he relied on his status as a "relative of the emperor" to gain the rank of an envoy.
He didn't want to die young and lose his best years on this hillside.
"Is there no other way?" the messenger asked tentatively.
Lin Su glanced at it and said: "It's not impossible..."
The messenger's eyes lit up, as if he saw a lighthouse in the sea.
"This pavilion master has the strength to break through the enemy's siege. If you can hold out for six or seven days, you will be able to report the situation to the capital and bring reinforcements from other places. But, can you do it?"
The envoy immediately shook his head, "Six or seven days? If the enemy doesn't attack the mountain immediately when they see Lin Su leaving, what kind of joke are they? They can defend for six or seven days, and it will be difficult for them to defend for six or seven hours."
"Then there is nothing we can do." Lin Su spread his hands and said, "I pray that the people of Zhou Dynasty will come near here and pass the news to the court."
In fact, Lin Su had another plan, but he didn't say it out loud. Because he didn't know how many of these people were lucky and fearful of death. Once they knew Lin Su's secret, the consequences would be really unpredictable.
When Lin Su was weighing the risks of this matter, he had to eliminate some unstable factors. For example, this messenger, who was called a reward to the three armies, was actually a blatant spy for Lin Su and a group of people in the martial arts world. This person
He is quite flattering and has the ability to flatter others, and his character is also extremely weak.
…
Leizhou.
It has been more than half a month since Monk Yuankong and other martial arts masters arrived at the territory of the Dragon Snake Gang, but these days, they have been having a very difficult time. The Wild Wolf Army and the Frost Wolf Army attacked the city day and night, and they suffered numerous casualties.
Nie Chi was seriously injured, Nie Lin was killed in battle, and the situation was tragic.
The people in the city fled to death. The remaining ones were the old, weak, sick and disabled, and had no ability to survive alone. They finally waited for reinforcements to arrive, but found that the enemy also increased their troops and killed all the masters alive.
Trapped in the city.
Master Yuankong, whose eyes were bloodshot, did not dare to rest for a moment. Even if he just rested for a stick of incense, the Frostwolf Army might send troops to attack the city. He was now in a very embarrassed state, like a tired beast.
"Master Yuankong, the people in the city have settled down, but our reinforcements haven't come yet. I'm afraid there won't be reinforcements for a long time." Yan Han returned from inquiring about the news and reported the situation breathlessly, with a hand on his arm.
The arrow is still stuck on it.
Sighing, Yuankong said: "How is the situation with Hall Master Youzhou Lin?"
Yan Han shook his head, "The Frost Wolf Army sent 30,000 elite troops and was said to have defeated a hundred thousand Tiandu Army. The situation in Youzhou is not optimistic either."
Yuankong said: "Count the number of people in the city who can fight and give me an accurate number. Whether it is casual cultivators, government soldiers or Jianghu forces in Leizhou City, I need accurate numbers."
Quanzhen Juedian said: "Master Yuankong plans to have a showdown with the enemy?"
"No." Yuankong shook his head bitterly, "More than half of our people were killed or injured, and the number is not large. We should let the people in Leizhou City use their spare energy to shoulder part of the responsibility. There is no reason for us to fight desperately on the city wall while they hide.
Eating out a living in a cellar."
Quanzhen Juedian said: "I'm afraid some people won't listen to the dispatch."
Yuankong's tone was firm, "They don't need to obey the dispatch. Count all the people who can fight. If anyone disobeys, kill him as a warning to others."
Quanzhen Juedian said in surprise: "I thought Master Yuankong would say something like compassion."
Yuankong shook his head, "Buddha has a compassionate heart, but also has angry eyes. He does extraordinary things in extraordinary times. Although I believe in the mysteries of Buddhism, I am not a soft-hearted person."
Shaolin and Quanzhen all took action together, killing a group of people who did not obey orders and intended to incite the people, and Leizhou City was completely under their control.
Nie Chi, who woke up from a serious injury, heard what Yuankong did. He was silent for a while, and then said, "Master Yuankong is indeed the leader of Shaolin."
Thirty miles away from Leizhou City, the Frost Wolf Army and Wild Wolf Army were stationed, with a total number of 110,000. The rest of the miscellaneous troops were transferred to Youzhou to retake Youzhou City.
Dark clouds are pressing down on the city, threatening to destroy it.
It was this scene that I was talking about.
Master Yuankong invited the generals who guarded Leizhou City. Although this general was promoted by Nie Chi, "General Fu, many of the ballistae in the city are somewhat damaged, and several trebuchets are also damaged. We in the martial arts do not know these things."
I understand, I still need to trouble you. If you need any help, just ask and there is no need to tell anyone."
General Fu handed over his hand and said, "Thank you, Master Yuankong. With your words, I feel relieved."
There are skilled craftsmen who repair catapults and trebuchets, but there are not many in the military. Some people who are responsible for trebuchets and catapults will simply repair them. This kind of large equipment is an important reason to ensure whether Leizhou City can be defended.
Not even half an hour later, General Fu came and said: "Master Yuankong, we have already started repairing the crossbow cart and trebuchet, but one of the steps requires the help of Shaolin disciples with unparalleled physical strength."
Master Yuankong waved his hand, and several Shaolin disciples who were excellent at practicing Henglian Kung Fu stood up and said, "These are the most powerful disciples in Shaolin. Please give me the general's orders."
One of the chains on the ballista could not be installed because it was broken. Ten or twenty soldiers could not lift the ballista, which weighed several thousand kilograms, and one person was injured. In desperation, General Fu had no choice but to invite people from Shaolin.
help.
Not to mention, it was quite useful. Six or seven Shaolin disciples lifted the ballista. Even if it was very reluctant, it was enough to prove that their strength was not in vain.
Just after repairing one car, one of them fell into a coma from exhaustion, and the rest were panting heavily. A young disciple of the Longhu Taoist Sect sighed: "If Pavilion Master Lin was here, he would definitely not
Even Master Huineng praised his strength when something like this happened."
Even if Lin Su needs to take action personally, even Lei Hu or the three brothers of the Yu family can handle it. They have been practicing the Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu for some time, and they cannot say that a ballista weighing several kilograms can be handled with ease.
It's okay to lift one or two sticks of incense.
What he said was unintentional, but Master Yuankong heard that it was not the case. Are the people in Shaolin inferior to Liuchen Pavilion?
