"I've looked at the pictures you found, and there seems to be no good way except fire attacks." 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 replicating those things to offset each other. "
Yan Yu imagined such a scene.
“Smash each other?”
Is the rushing stone machine?
Yan Laoer choked. Sometimes he really admired his daughter's brain.
"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. If we fight, we will not be short of others. Do you understand what I said?" Yan Laoer asked.
Yan Yu nodded to show 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's not something that can be played by just one person. If you want to point out where to hit, you have to practice for a long time. People in Xizhou have it for a long time. Get ready, we don’t have to rush to train such talents right 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, but how can it be the same as being able to use it accurately? I heard from the captured Xizhou soldiers that there are people in the Qi King's army who specialize in this, and they also practice flint bullets."
“Cannonball?!” Yan Yu’s eyes widened, couldn’t he? ! !
"No, no. Although there are a lot of explosive ores in Xizhou and the gunpowder is relatively skilled, it is still difficult to use it as a weapon. I 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 don't 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.
Yan Yu pulled him to an open space as soon as he saw this action.
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 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 this. Just like a sieve, King Qi is really insidious. He has been laying maggots on us for many years. 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! "
"Are our princes going against them? Well, instead of being a prince, the best result is still a prince. It's stupid to think that our prince is stupid!" "It's so funny, who came up with it?" Yan Yu felt deeply that he had raised the question. People who think this way are very deficient in IQ.
"No matter who the **** is, there is no sincerity on either side of this redemption negotiation." Yan Laoer said again: "When I went back to letter 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 was cautious! This first letter didn’t contain anything important, just a casual communication of feelings. Otherwise, it would have been really bad if any information had been leaked. Do you think King Qi created those catapults? 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 wind, was quite slippery.
"Your uncle said that we should seize the opportunity to fight, use that prince to paralyze them, capture the main force of Xizhou first, 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 whereabouts in advance and let Jiuxiao go over and destroy them, it's a 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 doesn't do anything else now. He thinks about Xizhou every day. What do you think will happen to King Qi?" 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 would happen? So what can we do? Will these five thousand new soldiers go to the battlefield? Did uncle arrange 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 conspiring, no, when they were discussing matters, they were very defensive. If your father wasn't your uncle's biological brother, your master His only direct disciple can’t 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 and train the troops. But your uncle Xue seems to have been reused and joined the prince's side." 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 about her father, but Xue Baihu did have a solid military record. 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. It seemed that he was not aware of the fact that she was assigned to the rear to train troops?
"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!
“What, Dabao, those people, they 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 at the first sight.
“Dad, where are the people? Where are my people now?”
"Who are you? I didn't write your name, so...your uncle wants to leave some, and your master wants to leave some. Dabao, really, they are all serious business. Your uncle has chosen a few people to go back and seduce more Xizhou." People come, your master wants to repair the city defense, expand the workshop to make weapons, etc., really, it’s all serious business.” (End of Chapter)
