Chapter 485 The wooden bird that can soar in the sky for a long time
These days, the training of the Han army camp is going on every day.
Ballistas, trebuchets, military formations, all kinds of battle formations were practiced in various ways.
The Taixi people went out of the city several times to fight with the Han army. If Feiniao had not sent out, the Taixi people, who were weakest in infantry combat, were no match for the Han army. They only charged a few times and were defeated by the Han army.
If the birds move out, the Han army will only use ballistae to meet the enemy, and most of them will huddle in the camp, determined not to show up. They will let the Taixi army shout and curse outside and only use ballistae to meet the enemy.
The Taixi people went to attack the Han army several times, but not only failed to overcome the Han army's camp, but instead turned in thousands of infantry and several new flying birds. After going back and forth, Joseph became angry, and the entire army hid in the city and did not come out, just waiting for the Han army to attack.
City.
The Han army owns 23 new ballistae with a range of 600 steps, 96 new ballistae seized from the Westerners, and 23 trebuchets.
In order to improve the level of the crossbow artillery card, Su Lu spilled the crossbow artillery card in his hand. The crossbow artillery soldiers were pulled to a hillside not far from Xianyang, and they kept shooting at Xianyang City all day long.
As the training progresses, level 2 crossbow artillery cards continue to break through and become level 3 crossbow artillery cards.
As the card level increases, the strength of the crossbow artillery has changed greatly. The indiscriminate shooting at Xianyang City has become whoever takes the lead at the top of the city will die.
For a time, there was a roar at the top of Xianyang City. All the Taixi soldiers on duty huddled under the battlements and did not show their heads despite being fired by the Han army's ballistae.
The two armies have entered a stalemate, and neither can do anything to the other.
Han army camp, inside the Zuo army tent.
The camp was full of lazy sergeants. Since there was no fighting, Su Lu adopted the method of taking turns to rest for each army. Today, the right army was on point to deal with the Taixi Army in the city.
Cao Hua lay on the recliner, squinting his eyes and falling asleep. After fighting for so many days, it was finally time to rest assuredly.
In the front, the wealthy and impoverished general led the army to deal with the Thai-Spanish coalition, and in the back, the master personally took charge of the central army. There is no safer place in the world than here.
"General, general."
Cao Hua's bodyguard Gao Huan entered the camp shouting, startling the sergeants who were sleeping all the way and causing a lot of curses.
Not to be outdone, Gao Huan scolded him while running.
Cao Hua opened his eyes and glanced at the noisy camp. The two guards immediately got up and went out. After a while, the curses and scoldings disappeared, but occasionally a few screams could be heard.
"General, general, that's a good thing."
Gao Huan ran to Cao Hua's couch and said with a smile, his wheat-colored cheeks full of smiles.
Zuo Ning, the deputy governor of the Zuo Army who was also sleeping next to him, smiled brightly: "Xiao Gao Huan, where did you have such fun again? You are making such a fuss."
Gao Huan turned to Zuo Ning and said with joy in his voice: "I heard from Mr. Su Ge that today the Commander-in-Chief is going to Mount Huanglong to offer incense to the Taoist Heavenly Master. The Brigadier General is allowed to accompany him and he can also bring a few guards."
Cao Hua opened his eyes and said, "This is the Taoist temple where the Taoist priests who came to offer food and grass a few days ago are located, right? Hmm, a few young Taoist priests dare to use their evil words to seduce the commander-in-chief. I want to see what they have to rely on."
Saying this, Cao Hua stood up, threw away the towel covering his face, and strode out of the camp.
In the central military tent, Su Lu was riding his horse. Next to him was a Taoist priest in aqua-blue robes, followed by Su Ge Lu Zhan, as well as a group of imperial guards and imperial guards.
Before the horses left the camp, they met Cao Hua who came to question the young Taoist priest.
"Commander Commander, are you going to go to the Taoist temple to offer incense? Since ancient times, Taoist priests have been the main culprits of misleading the public with their lies. Their words should not be taken lightly."
Su Lu glanced at Cao Hua in astonishment. This girl had a lot on her mind. She glanced at the little Taoist priest next to her and Su Lu explained:
"You are overthinking it. Taoist Master Qingfeng came to Laojun on behalf of Huanglong Temple. He saw the flying birds of the Westerners. He said that the old Taoist Master Zhenyuan had the skill of carving wooden birds. He said that the wooden birds were injecting inner breath.
After that, I can fly in the sky for half a day, so I want to go and see it."
Cao Hua glanced at the little Taoist with a stern look: "How could I know that the little Taoist is not lying? I, Cao Hua, have never heard of a wooden bird that can fly in the sky."
The little Taoist priest Qingfeng slapped his head and said in a dissatisfied voice: "The general doesn't believe it, so he won't go. Even if he is the commander-in-chief, we are not begging the commander-in-chief to go. The Taoist temple should not be a quiet place."
If the barbarians weren't so cruel to me, how could my temple master have let me work for the army?"
Su Lu waved his hand and stopped Cao Hua who wanted to continue, "Okay, if you want to go, just come with me. If you don't want to go, just go back to the camp and have a good rest. As for Gao Huan, did she talk nonsense again?
Next time, be careful if I hit her hard."
Cao Hua didn't dare to say anything anymore, but he didn't believe that there was any flying wooden bird in Huanglong Temple, so he simply called a few personal guards and followed him.
The little Taoist priest Qingfeng frowned when he saw a few more people following him, and said with a dissatisfied look on his face:
"Your Majesty, my Taoist temple doesn't have much food. If you bring so many people, you can feed us all in one go."
Su Ge, who was next to him, ordered: "Cao Huachun, go, take your people, and hunt down dozens of yellow sheep and deer. We don't care about eating the Taoist temple's Lao Shizi green vegetables."
Cao Huachun was the leader of the imperial guards. Hearing this, he whistled and led a dozen or so imperial guards to ride away towards Huanglong Mountain.
The horses galloped, bringing up a yellow dragon. A guard in the middle stretched his bow and set an arrow, and suddenly shot an arrow. The arrow flew straight into the sky as fast as a meteor. A moment later, a wild goose fell from the sky.
In front of Cao Hua's horse.
The little Taoist priest Qingfeng glanced at the wild geese on the ground, gurgled in his throat, and said in a thin voice:
"It's summer now. The geese have little meat on their bodies and are not fragrant, but they are chewy. The meat on the buttocks is the best, followed by the wings..."
Su Lu clapped his horse and moved forward.
"Taoist Master, when we arrive at your Taoist temple, I will treat you to a barbecue."
Qingfeng was overjoyed when he heard this, and chased after Su Lu, "Your Majesty, you are true to your word, and you are not allowed to go back on it."
Su Ge in the back looked stunned and asked Cao Hua next to him: "Shouldn't Taoist priests be vegetarians? Why, they also eat meat?"
Cao Hua shook his head: "There has always been a saying among the people that the poor are rich in culture and rich in martial arts. This little Taoist priest's eyes are like lightning, and the way he holds the horse's back with his legs is very similar to the broken wooden leg method of the Lu family in the Qin Dynasty. Judging from his movements, he is at least 60%
He is a master at his level.”
"Such a master wouldn't be able to reach this level if he didn't eat meat."
Su Ge looked at the little Taoist priest's back and suddenly spat: "That stinking Taoist priest actually eats meat."
As everyone walked along, they kept seeing the scout guards stationed beside the horse road, saluting Su Lu.
When traveling on Su Lu, it is natural to do a good job in protection. Lu Zhan has sent out guards and scouts in advance. The area around Huanglong Mountain is full of people. There are two flying birds in the sky at the same time. Although these flying birds cannot defeat the Taixi flying birds,
It is a sharp weapon used for reconnaissance. When it rises into the air, no one within a radius of ten miles can escape the observation of flying birds.
Huanglong Mountain is a dirt mountain. Green bushes can occasionally be seen on the hillside, but they are all low trees, and big trees are rare.
Going up the winding mountain road, at the end of the stairs, you can see the glazed tiles hidden behind the hillside, where is Huanglong Temple.
The sweet wind chimes slowly flowed along the mountain breeze, calming everything around.
