before! "

"before!"

The shield player began to move forward, and the crossbowmen who covered his side suppressed it in the rear, and at the same time, supported the advance of the siege hammer.

It is actually not accurate to say that it is a siege hammer, because this thing is different from the shortage of service costs in the film and television drama, and a group of people carrying a log and rushing forward.

This is actually more like a tall chariot. The siege hammer is inside. Above, there is an arrow tower, and below, there is a support surface spread out with leather and wooden boards. Some key positions are even wrapped with iron sheet to enhance protection. .

When attacking, it can accommodate hundreds of people including archers. When the people below attack the city gate, unless they are lucky, they don't have to worry about the threat of arrows from the city wall.

You don't even need to be too afraid of hot oil.

The only thing to worry about is the fire attack, but the people in Tianji Pavilion have also done some fire prevention treatment to make it as difficult as possible to be ignited.

This is just a siege hammer,

rear,

A regular towering arrow tower stands there, which can be moved forward, and a disassembly port is made at the bottom. When the proper position is reached, a key component can be removed directly from below, and then the arrow tower will naturally fall forward. , The arrow tower equipped with a grappling hook at the top will become the most durable ladder. Even if the defender wants to push it down, it is difficult for such a large weight here.

Behind, there is a siege crossbow, that sturdy giant crossbow bolt, that is, Fan Li in armor was shot, and they had to be killed directly.

There are countless siege tools of this kind. Some may be useful, some may be useless, and specific ones can only be made according to local conditions after actual combat.

The most important thing is the catapult.

The catapult of Xueguan Customs was originally designed by San'er, and the people of Tianji Pavilion added something similar to the pattern of the formation in it, so that the catapult has a longer range and higher accuracy when it is launched.

One inch long and one inch strong is the same on the catapult, because the Chu army who wants to come to the city will inevitably have a catapult arrangement.

Now, the soldiers of the Xueguan Customs are under the command of Liang Cheng, directly vacating the city wall on the south side of the Xueguan Customs to conduct siege cooperation exercises.

These soldiers are all cavalry, but you can't let them hit the wall on horseback during the siege, right?

Fortunately, a long time ago, because he saw the weakness of the Yan people's siege of the city, Xuehai Customs focused on practicing the step formation method, so it is not entirely a temporary hug at the moment.

"Are these all made with energy?" Zheng Fan asked Zeng Shulang, the owner of the Tianji Pavilion standing next to him.

"If you return to the uncle, the key parts and accessories will be built in advance with us. When the town is in front of Zhennan Pass, the civilians can be mobilized to cut down the materials. As long as there are enough civilians and enough artisans, it is not difficult to manufacture them in quantity.

Before the war, we can build workshops directly in the camp. "

This is an intention to produce crafting equipment while fighting.

In fact, this is also a very common practice. Siege battles are common for half a year or even more than a year.

How could the Chu army in Yupan City surrender if it hadn't had a shortage of food. If Qu Tiannan was determined to defend himself and had enough food, it would really be a big trouble.

And Zhennanguan...

Unless Chu people's mind is flooded, Uncle Zheng will not naively think that the Zhennan Gate Defender will be short of food.

"Uncle, the villain talks a lot. Uncle's men are all good soldiers. It is too wasteful to use ants to attack the city. What a good soldier."

"We have to be prepared. When we are really attacking the city, who knows which day we will be on the wheel? Run, we can’t get away, push or push. When we really want to bite the bullet, we have to let our sacrifices become more effective. Some value.

Moreover, we have no retreat. "

Although Emperor Yan was determined to attack Chu and let Uncle Zheng have something to do, he didn't need to curl up and draw circles in the northeast corner like an attack.

However, this is indeed Yan Guo's gambling, and it is also his Hirano's gambling.

After breaking the Snow Customs and pushing the strategic area into the territory of Chu State, then the Snow Customs can be truly safe. He said that he could not go to Tian Wujing with his godson.

brother,

Look at this town’s Nanguan,

It looks like the twist that the child likes most.

Of course, the latter is the imagination of Uncle Zheng.

However, if the snow customs cannot be breached, Dayan will exhaust her national power for this, and at that time it is said that the people of Shanxi will not be able to rise up. The people in the territory of Yan are not living, and the people of the country will make no effort to make the Chu people immediately leave Zhennanguan and enter Jindong.

then,

He Zheng Fan can only go to the snowy field to be the next Savage King.

"On these appliances, you have to put more effort into it."

The siege actually relies on these excellent and continuous equipment plus ample food and a stable military spirit. Otherwise, it will become like the savages attacking the snow customs, which seems to be in full swing, but in fact it basically does not cause much threat. It just cost lives in vain.

"Yes, uncle, the villain knows that the villain will definitely not let you down. Uncle you, Tianji Pavilion used to produce for the Helian family, but it didn't use much. This has always been a regret in the hearts of the villain."

Tianji Pavilion is a martial art of Jianghu, but it also has an official shadow.

At first, it was established by a certain generation of Jin emperor, but slowly, with the decline of the Yu family, it was stripped out, and finally gradually became a quagmire.

As for the regret that Zeng Shulang said, it was probably that Tian Wujing and Li Liangting had moved to Qianli on the tenth to directly destroy the two elites, and also destroyed most of the people's hearts in Shanxi. The field battle solved most of the Jin people. After the main force, the city is basically determined by the pass.

Therefore, the appliances that Tianji Pavilion had built for these two families were actually useless.

"Don't worry, this time, there are some for you to play."

"Uncle Xie."

Zheng Fan went down the city wall. On the south side of the city, Liang Cheng was commanding soldiers and horses to practice siege, while on the east side of the city, blind men were organizing a mobilization meeting.

Most of the people who listened to the meeting were civil servants. These civil servants are not counted as bidders in the snow customs, but they are indispensable on the battlefield, and they may become supplementary soldiers to join the battlefield at any time.

Basically, they are young people at home, with ears and eyes. After propagating them, they can go to their respective homes to communicate, and the effect can be easily revealed.

The opening of the conference was a social drama that the people of Xuehai Customs liked the most.

The main plot is a group of actors wearing wild fur clothes and Chu people's armor. They rushed to kill the people in Shanxi, killed children, and insulted women.

During this period, the voice of the baby should be stern, and the voice of the woman should be tragic;

After doing this,

These actors then walked to the edge of the stage to face the audience below, laughing extremely arrogantly.

Acting,

Really exaggerated;

But even though the audience below has watched it countless times, they still itch with hatred.

It is true that most of the Jin people here have blood feuds with the savages and Chu people.

At the same time, some audiences were too deeply involved in the play, which also caused several professional households who played bad guys to be slapped on the street and sent to the hospital for treatment;

After the anger is lifted up,

"Uncle Zheng" appeared.

The actor who plays Uncle Zheng is carefully selected and very handsome.

Before he fled to Xuehai Customs, he used to be a famous niche in the local troupe.

After "Uncle Zheng" came out, he led a few Barbarian actors and Jinbing actors,

Shout out first:

"Where to escape!"

then,

Cover up the past.

The scene of the fighting is very beautiful. Although it is a joke, there is actually some real kung fu in it.

After defeating the enemy,

"Uncle Zheng" walked to the center of the station and began to say something loudly, "Love the people like children", and then the curtain ended.

immediately,

The audience burst into enthusiastic cheers.

Last year, when the social drama first started rehearsing, in order to better set off the atmosphere, at the end of each scene, two savage slaves who did hard labor were specially selected to come over with disability and beheaded on the stage.

Open,

That scene, that atmosphere, don't mention it.

Only at the beginning of this year did it stop and let the stage return to the stage.

After the social opera performance,

The blind man first brought everyone to recall, who was eating, and who allowed everyone to eat and wear warmth now, not to suffer from freezing in winter, and to take medicine if they are sick.

Then the audience who has listened to it many times and knows how to cooperate will raise their hands and make fists together and shout:

"Uncle Hirano!"

"Uncle Hirano!"

"Uncle Hirano!"

When I first saw this scene, Uncle Zheng, who was standing behind watching the play, really wanted to raise his finger and yelled in response to the atmosphere:

"Rock and roll is not dead!"

But the eyes of the masses are actually discerning. They can tell who is really good to them.

Next, the blind man began to explain to them the significance of the upcoming war to the big guys. The theme was one, only victory could not be defeated, and Zhennan Pass must be won.

Uncle Zheng did not disturb the busy blind man, but went to the ice cellar.

It's actually starting to get hot in the sky. The hot season at Snow Customs is actually very short.

Uncle Zheng poured himself a glass of wine, personally knocked two ice cubes into the ice cellar, and walked to a coffin while drinking.

Reach out,

Knock knock.

quickly,

The coffin lid was pushed open,

A Ming lying inside was revealed.

Ah Ming's gaze fell on Uncle Zheng's wine glass.

Road:

"Master, that is the best quality batch of wine."

The implication is, Lord, if you want to drink grape juice, don't spoil the good stuff.

"stingy."

Uncle Zheng sat down by the coffin.

When he took the princess away from the snow customs, Ah Ming was lying in the ice cellar, and Liang Cheng poured blood on him every morning and evening.

When he came back, Ah Ming had actually recovered most of the time.

"You have to recover completely quickly." Uncle Zheng said with concern.

Faced with this concern, Ah Ming didn't feel much moved, because he knew that there was going to be a war.

"Lord, you promised not to drink my wine again. I will probably be able to recover before the war begins."

"So realistic?"

"Because, if you are in a good mood, the injury may recover soon."

"It makes sense."

"Ok."

"Then if I say that unless you fully recover tomorrow, or I will distribute all your wines to the soldiers the day after tomorrow, will the effect be more obvious?"

"..." A Ming.

"It's alright, I know, next time I squeeze some orange juice or something, I'm still not used to drinking grape juice."

Helping Aming to cover the coffin, Uncle Zheng walked out of the ice cellar holding a red wine glass.

It stands to reason that he should be very busy now, but in fact, he is really not very busy.

Siniang is in charge of the material reserve, the morale of the city is in charge, the blind is in charge, and the training is in charge of Acheng.

Someone has already done what he should do, and he can only do it better than himself;

But this kind of leisure before the war,

Let Uncle Zheng have a great sense of emptiness.

and so,

He came to the back house,

Came to Liu Ruqing's house.

Because here,

No matter how big the emptiness is, it can be completely filled with that "uncle ah~".

However, what disappointed Uncle Zheng was that Xiong Liqing was actually in Liu Ruqing's house at this time.

This made Uncle Zheng hesitate.

Standing at the gate of the yard, he did not enter.

At exactly this moment, Xiao Yibo came over:

"Lord, the one said he is looking for you."

That one refers to the Savage King. In this mansion, there is only the Savage King and cannot be called directly.

Zheng Fan nodded and walked into the other side of the back house.

After going to the city of Yanjing with Zheng Fan, the treatment of the Savage King has been greatly improved. He no longer lives in the underground secret room and lives in the house.

But in this room, there was still an iron cage, but a bed, a coffee table, and even a sink were added to the cage for the Savage King.

When Uncle Zheng came in, the Savage King was sitting at the coffee table reading a book.

The book is taken down.

Uncle Zheng knew that the other party deliberately wanted to laugh at himself, but he deliberately didn't make a joke.

"Have you eaten?" Uncle Zheng asked.

The Savage King put down the book and said with a smile: "If you go back to your uncle, Coyotito has fixed meals for three meals this day. It's very regular."

"What do you want me to do?" Zheng Fan sat down on a chair outside the cage.

"Uncle, I want to discuss with you, uncle, how to command when my soldier arrives."

"Soldiers and horses, I haven't seen them yet."

"The letter, since it has been sent out, it is estimated that the news is only two days away. Please don't worry, uncle, if it is not absolutely reliable, I would not dare to take my head and uncle. Lord, you are joking."

"I'm very curious, there are only eight hundred soldiers and horses you left."

A tribe of 800 people is nothing at all in the snowy field.

"Uncle did not know that what the 800 people guarded was a cell, a cell much larger than the place where his subordinates now live.

When the subordinates were kings in the snowfield, they forced many tribes to send their young patriarchs to me, that is, to be protons. Those people are still being guarded by my most loyal eight hundred men. "

"The most loyal?"

"They won't believe that I am dead."

Zheng Fan shook his head.

"At least, their loyalty can be maintained for more than ten years."

"But I don't think those protons can have any effect. You can give birth to something like a young patriarch. For some tribes, the original patriarch may have already died, and they have long since changed their heads."

"Uncle said, so you need your cooperation. These protons are in the hands of your subordinates. Unless your subordinates are in the snowy field, it will be difficult to exchange for enough chips. But now your subordinates have handed them over to you. You can go and have a good talk."

"trouble."

"Uncle, if you are afraid of trouble, you can let the dog out. UU reading www.uukanshu.com will be done by the dog and me. When the time comes, let alone 30,000 wild people and horses, it will be a hundred thousand. Dog I am confident that I can do it, after all, I am your loyal dog, uncle."

"it is good."

"Huh?" The Savage King himself felt that he had misheard.

He just said casually.

"Ben, I can send you on the road."

"..." Gou Moli.

Uncle Zheng stood up, walked to the cage, looked at Gou Moli, and said every word:

"I know that you still have something to hide from me. You can talk about the eight savages and one hundred warriors, and I will listen, but when the day comes, I didn’t see thirty thousand savages coming over, your head, I'll bring it to the big army sacrificial flag that I'm about to draw."

Gou Moli lowered his head and said, "Don't worry, my dog, I haven't lived enough yet. I can live in a sunny house now, and I want to have my own yard in the future."

"Ah."

Gou Moli knelt down,

Shouted with a smile;

"Uncle, I want to hear the dog, what can you get for the life of these 30,000 wild people?"

"Now, do you want to make terms with Ben?"

"Gouzi dare not, it's not a condition. I have already thrown that shoe on the road, dog. I want to hold a new shoe now."

"Oh? That uncle wants to hear, what do you want?"

"Guozi heard from Mr. Bei that we now have a lot of business teams in Xuehai Customs, but there will only be more in the future. These teams need people to look after them. After all, Xuehai Customs will point them to milk production in the future."

"Go on."

"Gouzi wants to apply for an official position."

"What job?"

"Snow Customs, Lieutenant Guarding Merchant."

...

at this time,

More than 70 miles away from the north wall of Xuehaiguan Customs, a savage tribe with a population of nearly 30,000 is migrating to the south.
