Cross the Sea in the Red Chamber

The next day, sure enough, the vanguard of the Qi army had arrived at the city.

There is an old saying: If you have a thousand people, you will reach the sky; if you have ten thousand people, you will be boundless.

The soldiers and horses are really spectacular. The [-] soldiers standing together look like the end of a superstar concert, and there is no end in sight.

Who are you scaring, I didn't scare you too much!There are also 8 people. During the military exercises back then, planes, tanks, armored vehicles and missiles were all on the scene... I have seen this kind of scene. Are you afraid of those [-] farmers who just put down their hoes?Really think he is made of dough!

I saw a single-handed horse coming, but it was an old man with a white beard.The man bowed immediately and said in a loud voice: "I have heard the name of Sanyuan and Di Jiangyuan for a long time, and I am honored to meet you today. Since you are familiar with changes, know the time of the sky, understand yin and yang, and distinguish between good and bad, why do you stop my king's teacher?"

Sure enough, in ancient times, it was popular to practice ritual before fighting, but what does it mean to "understand changes, know the time of the sky, understand yin and yang, and distinguish between good and bad"?This word sounds familiar, think of him as the four monkeys in Journey to the West?If he was Monkey King, he would solve the problem with a handful of hairs, and he would not need to talk to an old man.

The soldier sent to him by Prince Rui said in a low voice: "Mr. Jiang, that old man is the Prime Minister of Qi State, Emperor Gao was an official, and Emperor Taizong named Han Kang Marquis of Pingning."

Jiang Yuan laughed, and said to the city: "I am ordered to stop the thieves, why not?"

The old man said: "Nowadays, the number has changed, and the magic weapon is easier. A foolish monarch withdraws his domain for no reason, destroys his own virtue, and the world will return to the virtuous. , You can get a high official and generous salary, and honor your ancestors.”

"Rebellious ministers and thieves who are good at wielding weapons, why are you called a virtuous person?" Jiang Yuan shouted and shouted, and he was not the one who was in a hurry anyway. He is a city guard, is he afraid of procrastinating?

"A foolish ruler appoints treacherous ministers and steals money and food from the treasury; he shields thieves and falsely claims the name of benevolence and righteousness. The Yellow River bursts its embankment, and he does not give up to open warehouses to release grain; the northern barbarians invade the border, but kill loyal generals. Urgent. My lord, the king of Qi, legislates internally, farms and weaves externally, protects the environment and the people, and returns to the heart in all directions. Fu, isn't it God's will?" The old man's article was well done, and he knew it was slipping at a glance.

Jiang Yuan almost didn't laugh out loud, "Wencheng Wude, Zebei common people"?Why don't you "Eastern leader, dominate the world"!

The old man continued: "Mr. Today knows the harmony of heaven and earth. Why do you go against the sky and act against righteousness? The ancients said: those who follow the sky will prosper, and those who go against the sky will perish! Today, my king has millions of armors and countless generals. How dare you, the light of the fireflies, dare to go against the fire? If you open the city and surrender, take off your armor and come to pay homage, my king will not hesitate to confer the title of marquis, so you can’t afford to use weapons, wouldn’t it be wonderful!”

Jiang Yuan felt that the old man below looked like Wang Lang in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, so his position was a bit like Zhuge Liang.He smiled and said loudly: "You old man, you are a veteran of the three dynasties. I thought you had something to say, but I didn't expect it to be a bunch of nonsense."

The soldiers behind him laughed in unison, and Jiang Yuan continued: "At the beginning of the world, there were northern barbarians, and the barbarians were despicable. They plundered the Central Plains and robbed countless wealth. They plundered the women of the people and offered them for adultery. Sheep, kill them for food. At this time of national calamity, where is the Prime Minister of Korea? What can he do? I heard that Korea was the magistrate of a border city at that time, and he abandoned the city and fled, leaving the people alone. With the rank of title, and you, you are ignorant of Jingsu, backed up and rebelled, the crime is serious, and the law of heaven will not tolerate it!"

"You! You!" The old man was about to roll his eyes.

"Shut up, you cunning old thief!" Jiang Yuan yelled, "You treacherous villain, a flatterer, shrinking your head like a turtle, living without food, how dare you mention the destiny in front of us and other loyal people? You bastard, you son of a bitch, you villain! Under the Nine Springs, how dare you meet Gaozu Taizong, how dare you meet the ancestors? You old man lived 70 years in vain. Shaking your head, looking like a dog, how dare you bark here! You are such a shameless and shameless villain, I have only seen you in my life, and you still don’t want to go back and lick your master’s toes!"

"You! You! Don't say it...don't say it..." The old man rolled his eyes and fell off the horse.

Are you dizzy?All the officers and soldiers looked at Jiang Yuan with adoring eyes, but they didn't know Jiang Yuan was there and said in his heart: "I don't know how to bring some water to the uncle. After talking so many words, the uncle is dying of thirst."It is said that Zhuge Liang killed his anger directly, but he just passed out his anger, and his level is still not enough.

The Qi army made a commotion, but quickly calmed down. Jiang Yuan knew that there were many Qi soldiers, and if there was no way to break their morale today, this group of desperadoes might cause trouble.He first looked at the king's car of the Qi army. It was five hundred steps away from the city tower. This distance was out of reach in this age without artillery. The bed crossbow was not very powerful at this distance, but the army flag of the king of Qi unexpectedly Quite abnormally wandering around two hundred and fifty or sixty steps away from the city tower, there is a guy who looks like an officer next to him.

Sure enough, if you don't die, you won't die.

Jiang Yuan took his seven-stone strong bow, bent the bow and set the arrow, and shot it out!The officer didn't care about it at first, but who would have thought that the arrow could shoot two hundred paces away, heading straight for him!The officer hurriedly raised his saber to block it, but unfortunately it was too late to resist because he was too careless just now, and was pierced by the arrow cluster.

Jiang Yuan didn't let anyone go, he opened his bow and shot another arrow, which hit the flagpole of the military flag, how could the flagpole withstand the arrow shot at the stone tiger, it broke into two pieces at once, the king's flag fluttered just like that Everyone's face fell down...

"The general is mighty, the general is mighty!" The soldiers on the tower shouted loudly, and the sound was transmitted for several miles.And King Qi, who was sitting in the king's car, was in a complicated mood, which was called a sour feeling, and all his emotions were gathered into one word, which was-"Nimma!"

Before the war, the Wang Qi was folded, so his grandfather can't fight anymore!

That's good, before the siege started, a prime minister was stunned, a lieutenant was shot dead, and his army flag was knocked down!Is this Jiang Yuan born to restrain him? !

Jiang Yuan said that he hasn't played enough and doesn't mind single-player PK.

The biggest siege scene that Jiang Yuan saw in his last life was when he was watching the old TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Only now did he realize that siege is not as simple as rushing up with an extended ladder.

Nest car: A lookout car specially used to observe the enemy's situation. The bottom of the car is equipped with wheels and can be pushed. Two long posts are erected on the car with solid wood. A pulley shaft is set on the top of the post, and a small wooden house is tied to the pulley with ropes. Above, the plank house is 9 feet high and 4 feet square. There are 12 observation holes on all sides. The outside is covered with raw cowhide to prevent damage from enemy arrows. The house can accommodate two people. The situation of the enemy soldiers in the city.

Ladder car: There are wheels below, which can be pushed and driven. It is equipped with shields, winches, grabbing hooks and other appliances, as well as equipment such as pulley lifting.

Throwing cart: trebuchet, which can throw stones and fireballs, is equivalent to the existence of cannons in this era.

A boulder was thrown into the air, but it was a pity that the aim was not accurate, and it just hit the city wall in the end.Hundreds of kilograms of boulders were polished into a spherical shape. If they hit the city wall, they would roll down the road along the wall, killing countless soldiers.Fortunately, trebuchets these days are really not accurate at all. It would be fatal if they had a scope like a mountain cannon and pointed at where to shoot.

The Qi army had trebuchets, and so did the Jing army. Although the number was not as large as that of the Qi army, the effect of throwing boulders from a condescending height on the tower was much better than that under the city.With a wave of Jiang Yuan's hand, more than a dozen boulders fell from the sky and hit the crowd directly, causing blood and flesh to fly everywhere in an instant.

The soldiers of the Qi army rushed towards the city wall with their ladders and carts. They yelled loudly to strengthen their courage and move forward bravely!It's a pity that these people are destined to be cannon fodder.

Arrows rained down on the city wall, and those ladder carts were pushed down by the bamboo poles at the top of the city wall after finally being put on the city wall. The 1000 people who had just rushed to the city wall lost hundreds of lives in this fierce resistance and had to retreat. go down.

"Go! Go! Go!" The officer who was supervising the battle behind him waved his whip and drove the retreating soldiers up again. He also knew that most of these soldiers who rushed forward would never return.

The city was so big that it was impossible for all [-] soldiers to rush up at once, which gave the soldiers on the city wall a chance to counter them.The walls of Tobu City are so tall that shooting arrows upwards is basically useless, but it is different when the defenders on the walls shoot arrows downwards.What's more, there is Jiang Yuan who is on the top.

Jiang Yuan shot two pots of arrows before he put down his strong bow, and these two pots of arrows plowed through the officers who could be seen as officers within [-] steps in front of him, and passed a sniper's addiction.

Although there were a lot of arrows in Tobu Castle, considering how long the city would be defended, the speed of the archers on the wall slowly slowed down.The Qi army under the city took advantage of this moment to push the ladder and rushed up again, trying to rush up the city wall!

Some people say that the ladder is not made of wood. Isn't that just a fire?Ideal is full, the reality is very skinny.In order to prevent it from being burned, the ladder car is covered with fire-resistant and fire-resistant cowhide, and ordinary rockets and the like cannot be ignited at all.Qi Jun thought so too, who knew that the ladder had just been put on the city wall before the rebels had time to climb up. Tou Tou just didn't know what liquid fell from the sky, scattered everywhere on the ladder, and even splashed them all. The head was all over the face, and then a torch flew down, which actually set the ladder on fire, and ignited a fire that soared into the sky.

Jiang Yuan smiled, just jokingly, the special lamp oil was sprinkled just now, it is not easy to put out the fire with a fire extinguisher, isn't it the easiest to catch?

In this way, five or six ladder vehicles were ordered in a row, and the Qi army's offensive stopped immediately.Just kidding, so many ladders have been destroyed at this moment, and how many more may be burned after fighting for a while, and the Qi army will not have to attack the city after they are all burned.

Those lamp oils were "transformed" by Jiang Yuan the day before at the Bodhi Court, the largest temple in the city... The old monk at the Bodhi Court didn't want to give it to him at first, but Jiang Yuan asked, "Is the Buddha to save all living beings?"

The old monk quickly replied: "Exactly."

"If the rebels attack the city gate, then the whole city people and you monks will be killed, so in order to protect all living beings, I will take a little lamp oil and think that the Buddha will not blame me, so I will help the Buddha to save all living beings. I want to come to Bodhi The reason why there is so much lamp oil in the courtyard is that the Buddha is using the hands of the great monk to save the suffering."

Jiang Yuan's words almost made the old monk very angry. Those lamp oils were donated by faithful men and women, not from the Buddha.It's a pity that his anger is useless. Jiang Yuan directly copied all the lamp oil in all the temples and Taoist temples in the city. There are dozens of barrels. If you add more soybean oil, vegetable oil and the like, it is enough to burn the ladder. up.

The Qi army attacked the city from morning to night, and attacked the city late at night with torches, but the Jing army on the wall had only so many people. Although Jiang Yuan divided the soldiers into three groups and took turns to defend the city, the soldiers were inevitably tired. .When the last wave of enemy soldiers retreated, the soldiers on the city breathed a sigh of relief, and fell asleep there directly. This day is over, and the next day is still unknown...

But they didn't know that Qi Wang Situ Heng was also furious in the camp below the city.In one day's siege of the city, more than 5000 people were killed and injured, seven ladder vehicles were burned, and more than a dozen generals were shot to death. How was this battle fought? !

He gritted his teeth and said through gritted teeth: "I will give you an order to fill up the moat tomorrow!"
