The monk is hanging up

Chapter 459 Ballista and Catapult
After killing two envoys who wanted to surrender, Taki, the general of the Frostwolf Army, finally came to his senses and was so angry that he almost didn't lead the Frostwolf Army up the mountain.He breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Damn it, you dare to humiliate the warriors of the Holy Dynasty and order them to be surrounded but not killed. This general will let them be trapped and starved to death on the mountain."

Lin Su on the mountain couldn't help laughing, "The generals in the North have their noses crooked now, right? Surrender? I really thought that we people in the world are easy to provoke, so I blinded them."

"Governor Lin is wise." The envoy forced a smile that was uglier than crying, and asked: "What do you think General Taki will become angry with embarrassment? He personally sent his men to discuss with you..."

Lin Su said: "It is inevitable to become angry from embarrassment. If the two countries do not kill the envoy, we killed the person he sent. This is against the rules. However, the murderer is the owner of the pavilion, and we are not from the court. 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 we will kill them if we dare."

As soon as the messenger's legs are weak, he will be paralyzed.

It's over, it's over, the Frostwolf Army has been greatly offended.

Lin Su continued: "It is precisely because we announced this that the Frostwolf Army dare not attack the mountain. Even the Frostwolf Army cannot bear the loss of our dying counterattack."

"They will stay at the bottom of the mountain until our food and water sources are exhausted. This is the best policy."

Luo Qiu shrugged, "Martial men like me have 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 messenger was trembling for a while. Not to mention half a month, three days without eating or drinking, he was so hungry that he felt dizzy.He was not a martial artist in the first place, and relied on his status as a "relative of the emperor" to reach the rank of envoy. He did not want to die young and lose his good years on this hillside.

"Is there no way?" The messenger asked tentatively.

Lin Su glanced at it and said, "It's not impossible..."

The messenger's eyes lit up, as if seeing a lighthouse in the sea.

"The master of this pavilion has the strength to break through the enemy's encirclement. If you can last 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 messenger immediately shook his head, six or seven days?If the enemy sees Lin Su leaving, they don't immediately attack the mountain. What a joke, it's difficult for them to defend for six or seven days, even for six or seven hours.

"Then there is no other way." Lin Su spread his hands: "Pray that the people of Da Zhou will come here and pass the news to the imperial 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, but they were greedy for life and afraid of death. Once they knew Lin Su's secret, the consequences would be really unpredictable.

Lin Su was weighing the risks of this matter and had to rule out some unstable factors.For example, this emissary who served the purpose, in the euphemistic name of rewarding the three armies, was actually blatantly placing eyeliner on Lin Su and other members of the martial arts circle.

……

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 are living very hard.The Wolf Wolf Army and the Frostwolf Army attacked the city day and night, causing countless casualties. Nie Chi was seriously injured, and Nie Lin was killed in battle. The situation was dire.

The common people in the city fled to the death, and the rest were old, weak, sick and disabled, unable to live alone, and finally waited for the reinforcements to arrive, only to find that the enemy also increased their troops and killed all the masters alive. Trapped in the city.

Master Yuankong, whose eyes were bloodshot, didn't 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 is also very embarrassed now, looking like a tired beast.

"Master Yuankong, the people in the city have settled down. It's just that our reinforcements haven't come. I'm afraid there won't be any reinforcements for a long time." The arrows are still stuck in it.

Sighing, Yuankong said: "How is the Master Lin in Youzhou?"

Yan Han shook his head, "The Frostwolf Army dispatched [-] elite soldiers, and it is said that they have defeated [-] Tiandu Army. The situation in Youzhou is not optimistic either."

Yuan Kong said: "Calculate the number of people who can fight in the city, and give me an accurate number. Whether it is Leizhou City's casual cultivators, government soldiers, or Jianghu forces, I need accurate numbers."

Quanzhen Juefeng said: "Master Yuankong plans to fight the enemy?"

"No." Yuan Kong shook his head bitterly, "More than half of our people were killed or injured, and the number of people 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. They hide Get by in the cellar."

Quanzhen Juedian said: "I am afraid that some people will not obey the assignment."

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 was surprised and said: "I thought Master Yuankong would say something like compassion."

Yuan Kong shook his head, "Buddha has a compassionate heart, and also has vajra's angry eyes. He does extraordinary things in extraordinary times. Although I believe in the profound meaning of Buddhism, I am not a soft-hearted person."

Shaolin and Quanzhen took action together and killed a group of people who were disobedient and intended to incite the people, and Leizhou City was completely under their control.

Nie Chi, who woke up from serious injuries, heard what Yuankong did, and was silent for a while, then said, "Master Yuankong is indeed the leader of Shaolin."

Thirty miles away from Leizhou City, the Frostwolf Army and the Wild Wolf Army were stationed, with a total number of 11. The rest of the miscellaneous troops were transferred to Youzhou to retake Youzhou City.

The black cloud overwhelms the city and wants to destroy it.

It was this scene he was talking about.

Master Yuankong invited the general who guarded Leizhou City, even though this general was single-handedly picked up by Nie Chi, "General Fu, many ballistas on the city are damaged, and a few 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, don't look outside."

General Fu handed over his hand and said, "Thank you, Master Yuankong. With your words, I feel relieved."

There are also skilled craftsmen who repair ballistas and catapults in the military, but there are not many.Some people in charge of trebuchets and ballistas would simply repair them. This kind of large equipment is an important reason to ensure that Leizhou City can be defended.

Not even half an hour later, General Fu came and said: "Master Yuankong, we have already started repairing the crossbows and trebuchets, but one of the steps requires the help of Shaolin disciples with unparalleled physical strength."

With a big wave of Master Yuankong's hand, several Shaolin disciples who practiced horizontal exercises stood up, "These people are the most powerful disciples in Shaolin, please give orders to the general."

One of the chains on the crossbow could not be installed because it was broken. Ten or twenty soldiers could not lift the crossbow, which weighed several thousand kilograms. One person was also 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 just for nothing.

Just after repairing one, one of them passed out from exhaustion, and the rest were gasping for breath.A young disciple of the Longhu Taoist Sect sighed: "If Pavilion Master Lin were here, this would never happen. His strength is even praised by Master Huineng."

Where Lin Su can do it himself, even Lei Hu or the three Yu brothers can handle it. They have practiced Dragon Elephant Prajna Kungfu for some time, and a ballista weighing several thousand catties can't be said to be light. Lifting up one or two sticks of incense is no problem.

What he said was unintentional, but Master Yuankong didn't think so after hearing it. Could it be that people from Shaolin are not as good as Liuchen Pavilion?

"I'll do it myself." After taking off his cassock, Master Yuankong raised the ballista with one hand, put it on his shoulder, and shouted, so frightened that General Fu was stunned for a moment.He hurriedly put the chains on before he was done.
