Vol 3 Chapter 48: Surprise for Qingzhou

"Why are you so sure?"
Miao Youfang was not convinced, leaning on the knife, chewing on Wowotou:
"I like to attack others at night, because sleep is the most relaxed time at night."
Xu Xinnian patted the wooden barrel filled with kerosene on his feet, and smiled:
"Our oil is not just for burning the enemy, it can also be used for lighting at night. Throw them down with a catapult, and when the fire is bright, the soldiers can stand on the head of the city and see the situation below. It's clear.
"The enemy army couldn't see the arrow shot from the city. How many people came to die.
"Your move is only applicable to pre-emptive sneak attacks before the start of the war."
But now it is an offensive and defensive battle where both sides are prepared.
Miao Youfang felt that what the scholar said was reasonable. After thinking about it, his eyes lit up:
"Then what if the other party sends a master?"
Xu Erlang looked at him silently: "I ordered the military master night patrol, what's the defense?"
Miao Youfang was convinced and gave a thumbs up:
"As expected of Xu Yinluo's younger brother, he is like a brother."
The corners of Xu Erlang's mouth twitched lightly, and he said in his heart that you, like my eldest brother, have a vulgar style.
He knew that Miao Youfang was his eldest brother's follower. Last time the eldest brother returned to Beijing, the two had a relationship. On the eve of his order to be stationed in Songshan County, Miao Youfang suddenly came to the door and wanted to fight with him.
Xu Erlang asked if it was sent by the eldest brother. .
Miao Youfang shook his head and said, defending the family and the country is what a man has done.
A Wufu with a five-grade vigour took the initiative to seek refuge, and his identity was no problem. Of course, the military welcomed it extremely, so Miao Youfang followed him to Songshan County.
"But there are too few masters in the defending army, and there is only one fourth rank." Miao Youfang shook his head.
"Rank 4 masters are all high-ranking generations, so the number is naturally scarce." Xu Erlang responded.
"Is it rare? I followed Xu Yinluo's southward and northward wars, and the trash fish in the fourth-rank realm couldn't look down on it."
Miao Youfang said with an air.
You also know that it was following my eldest brother.........Xu Erlang put his hands on the female wall and slowly said:
"For me, the princes of the court are not rare, they are all over the hall. But Brother Miao has seen a few scarlet robes."
The level that the eldest brother is currently involved, the opponents he faces must be the highest level of a certain force, and the high level of the big force is naturally the top group of people in Kyushu.
The fourth grade is of course not rare.
But in a Qingzhou, a small Songshan county, the fourth grade is a superior figure.
Among the defenders of Songshan County, there was only one fourth-rank commander, who was of the same level as Xu Erlang.
The commander is responsible for guarding the north gate.
Xu Erlang didn't plan to dwell on this topic, took a breath of the cold night breeze, and said:
"I remember my eldest brother said that your goal is to become a famous generation of heroes. But in war-torn places, your good deeds of chivalry and justice are difficult to spread. Because the person you save today may die tomorrow.
"The refugees were either rescued by the army or by the rebels. They turned upside down like goods. They would not deliberately remember a knight who helped them.
"If you want to be a hero, you have to go to a peaceful place, wherever you can rob the rich and help the poor, there will be your legend in the arena."
Regarding Xu New Year’s question, Miao Youfang scratched his head and thought for a while:
"I must be a hero.
"But this hero is in his youth, and he won't get in the way a few years earlier and later, but Dafeng is already very old. If he can't continue his life, then he really needs to change his dynasty.
"Actually, as far as I am concerned, it is up to me who does the emperor.
"But for the people of the Li people, this is a catastrophe. If Qingzhou cannot be held, the war will burn to the north and spread to the capital, tens of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains along the way, all turned into scorched earth.
"So I wondered if I could suppress the rebels in Qingzhou and stop the war in Qingzhou."
Xu New Year was a little surprised, and smiled:
"Brother Miao really made me admire. In the arena, there are very few chivalrous men like you who love the country and the people."
Miao Youfang shrugged:
"No, I actually don't have a good impression of Dafeng court, but Xu Yinluo said something to me when I parted with Xu Yinluo.
"The reason why he nurtured me and guided me to practice is because someone gave him a chance. What he wants is only hope that he can become a useful person to the court and the people in the future.
"Xu Yinluo did not disappoint that person's expectations.
"So, I don't want to disappoint Xu Yinluo either."
Brother didn't read the wrong person...Xu Erlang nodded silently. Just when he wanted to speak, he heard Miao Youfang's face change next to him, and he shouted:
"The enemy is coming with artillery!"
Xu Xinnian's heart stunned, staring intently, the night was deep, and he couldn't see anything, but he knew that Miao Youfang was a fifth-grade martial artist with far better vision than ordinary people, so he didn't question and shouted loudly:
"Beat the drum!
"The artillery is ready, the bed crossbow is ready."
The soldiers who rested against the female wall and those who were sleeping on the horse track in light armor were awakened one after another. They started to move in an orderly manner, filling shells and crossbow arrows.
Miao Youfang pushed a gunner away, calibrated the angle, and ignited the fuse.
Boom!
A ball of fire expanded, illuminating the distance, allowing the defenders at the head of the city to clearly see the enemy forces pushing the artillery closer in the dark.
The flames of the explosion had not subsided, and the crossbows and artillery at the head of the city opened fire one after another, pouring firepower at the enemy.
The superiority of the defending army was immediately highlighted. Because of its condescending position, the guns at the head of the city had a longer range than the enemy's artillery.
If the enemy wants to bomb the city wall, they must first accept the baptism of the defenders' firepower.
Miao Youfang returned the artillery to the gunner, looked sideways at Xu Xinnian, and said angrily:
"Didn't you say that the enemy will not attack at night?!"
"Ah? What did you say?" Xu Erlang puckered out his ears and said loudly:
"The sound of the gun is too loud, I can't hear it."
Miao Youfang exploded, saying that the face of a scholar is not weaker than that of Wu Fu.
At this time, the enemy's artillery team lost three artillery pieces and two crossbows, and finally rushed into the range of fire. The intensive artillery sound immediately sounded, and the sound was endless.
Balls of fire exploded continuously on the city wall and the city head.
During this period, there was the clear sound of the crossbow.
The destructive power of the bed crossbow is far less than that of the artillery. Whether it is the destruction of the city wall or the lethality of the soldiers, it is inferior to the explosion of gunpowder.
But one function of the crossbow and bed crossbow keeps it in line with the artillery and has never been eliminated, that is, the single-to-single lethality of the crossbow.
The artillery may not kill the copper-skinned and iron-boned martial artist, but the armor-piercing power of the crossbow can severely injure and kill the masters in the army.
Takeo caught in the battlefield, the premonition of crisis will become "numb", because crisis is everywhere on the battlefield, which makes it easy for Takeo to ignore the terrible crossbow arrows and cannot avoid it in advance.
With good luck, it is a good thing to be able to kill or severely injure a martial artist among the enemies.
In the course of the confrontation between the two sides, more than a thousand pawns wearing rattan armors carried siege hammers, ladders, shields and other tools to charge.
These pawns are refugees gathered by the Yunzhou rebels and are dedicated to consuming the firepower of the city defenders.
The two guards were holding shields and guarding Xu Xinnian's side, while he himself kept running around the city to command operations.
"My lord, go down first, if you are endangered by artillery, the gain is not worth the loss."
The guard persuaded loudly.
"Compared to my personal safety, the military spirit is more important."
Xu Xinnian pressed the sword with one hand and ran back and forth, commanding the soldiers to fill their seats, commanding the militia to clean up the dead bodies and treat the wounded.
These things are not for him, but they are for him.
As the supreme commander of Songshan County, as long as he stands at the head of the city and fights shoulder to shoulder with the soldiers, the defenders will never waver.
The offensive and defensive battle lasted until the latter half of the night, when the enemy troops dropped their corpses and evacuated.
............
Southern Xinjiang.
By the water pool, Luo Yuheng dressed in feather clothes, sitting on the smooth rock by the shore, with Xu Qi'an's robe under his buttocks.
The hem of the feather robe, protruding white and well-proportioned feet, soaked in the cold pool water.
Her cheeks were flushed, her eyes narrowed slightly, she didn't know if she was enjoying the cool water or the aftermath of the spring tide.
Standing in the pool, Xu Qi'an reached out and picked up the white belly embroidered with lotus patterns, and played with it in his hand.
Luo Yuheng glanced at him with even clearer eyes than Tan Shui, flashing an imperceptible embarrassment.
Xu Qi'an rubbed his belly with the smooth texture of his belly, recalling the delicate and softness of the crisp breast, and said with a smile:
"Master, will you get pregnant?"
Luo Yuheng's eyes were cold, but his cheeks were flushed, and his white jade-like feet kicked, "Splash", the splash was like the sharpest sword in the world, and it hit Xiaoyin Gong's face with his head.
Xu Qi'an's skin was hot and painful.
Luo Yuheng snorted coldly: "You and I are just a deal. I borrowed you to calm the karmic fire, and you can borrow my combat power. Don't even think about the issue of heirs."
After finishing speaking, seeing him staring at his lower abdomen, his humiliation became heavier.
The mouth is very hard, but during the double repair, he has to cooperate more than last time.............Xu Qi'an muttered in his heart.
Whether a woman likes you or not, how deep she likes it, can be felt during double repairs, don't look at Luo Yuheng's stiff mouth, but her body has completely accepted him.
I really don't have any affection for him, but I can't lift my hips and twist my waist.
You and Munanzhi are really good girlfriends. They don't admit it, but they are very honest... Xu Qi'an said cheekily:
"I'm not worried that one day I will be slaughtered, anyway there will be incense left behind.
"Speaking of business, this time I came to southern Xinjiang and discovered a big secret."
At the moment, the Gu God Baidi, who told him Granny Tiangu, asked Luo Yuheng about the question and answer process.
After listening, Luo Yuheng's delicate and slender eyebrows frowned, and he pondered for a long time:
"If you figure out three things, you will know the secrets behind each of the three questions.
"One, the reason for the fall of the ancient gods and demons; two, the symptoms of the three cultivation methods of heaven, earth and man; third, why would Gu Shen think that Confucian sages are the gatekeepers."
The three events correspond to "The Great Era Is Over", "The Whereabouts of Dao Zun", and "Who is the Gatekeeper"
Luo Yuheng took the opportunity to raise his hand, snatched his belly pocket back, put it beside him, and then gathered Yuyi. After all, she was only wearing this piece of clothing.
In order to prevent Xu Qi'an from snatching, she said quickly:
"The age of gods and demons is too far away, there is no clue to find, but if you can talk to Baidi and Gu God, you can know the inside story. I don't recommend you to try. People nowadays have not had an equal dialogue with the two. Qualifications.
"For the Dao Sect, when I am promoted to the first rank, I will go to Tianzong. Then I will wait for my news. As for the gatekeeper, you can ask Zhao Shou or Jianzheng.
"These two people, one is the successor of the Confucian system, and the other can spy on the secrets of heaven."
"It's worthy of being a national teacher, Bingxue is smart." Xu Qi'an gave a thumbs up.
Luo Yuheng's expression is cold, but there is a smile in his eyes~EbookFREE.me~ For a woman with a high position and a strong personality, this is the most popular style. Of course, it must be Xu Qi'an's flattery.
Because he is Luo Yuheng's "nominal" double monk, no matter how flattering other men are, they can't make her feel cool.
"Unfortunately, those who know the secret of heaven will be bound by the secret of heaven. Even if the supervisor knows it, he can't tell me."
Xu Qi'an shook his head regretfully: "No matter, this matter is not urgent, the Qingzhou war is the most urgent thing. The national teacher has just returned from Qingzhou, how is the fighting situation there."
Luo Yuheng said:
"Never pay attention."
After thinking about it, he added: "Your cousin seems to have been sent to guard Songshan County. This is one of the most important strongholds in Yang Gong's second line of defense."
What she meant was that the Qingzhou war was temporarily stable, but Xu Erlang would be in danger...........Is this not paying attention? Guo Shi, you are too arrogant. You obviously pay attention to my family........ Xu Qi'an complained in his heart, with a slightly heavy expression.
"The Nine-Tailed Fox is returning to the mainland soon, and the demons in southern Xinjiang are also gathering. I must ensure that the southern demons' rebellion can be successful, so as to hold the Western Region Buddhism. I'm afraid I cannot intervene in the Qingzhou war.
The victory or defeat of Qingzhou will affect the balance of victory in this war, but the battle in southern Xinjiang is more important. If the southern demon cannot retake the 100,000 mountains, it will not be able to contain Buddhism.
And once Buddhism is allowed to vacate his hands to cooperate with Yunzhou, it will not affect the balance of victory, but will directly gg.
"You can let the Gu Clan send troops to reinforce Qingzhou." Luo Yuheng said.
"Well, give Qingzhou a surprise." Xu Qi'an nodded.
Although the transcendents of the Gu clan cannot leave, the members of the seven tribes can participate in the battle. Heart Gu, Poison Gu, and Corpse Gu are the darlings on the battlefield. Dark Gu is the top assassin.
This should greatly ease the pressure on Qingzhou.
