Chapter 320 Resolute Counterattack
After passing the star and cutting the feathers, not only did he not shock the little girl, but he took the lives of dozens of brothers, which was a great regret, but he was helpless at this point.
Dalang bandaged himself and was so depressed that he dared not speak anymore. Things were originally caused by himself. If he hadn't been anxious to show off and encouraged the commander to fight, how could there be such a consequence of losing troops and losing generals? What else do he have to say now? He followed Guo Tianxing back in a depressed manner. On the road, he was approaching Chen San's military inspector who came to inform the King of Chuang to discuss matters. Dalang became even more nervous, afraid that his uncle would catch him and take his expenses.
When he saw Dalang shrinking, he didn't dare to move forward. He knew his thoughts and patted his chest and said, "This matter is to be borne by himself, so Dalang should not be too worried."
After entering Huluyu, Dalang ordered Dalang to settle his subordinates, treat the wounded, and went straight to Zhaoxing's office. Dalang wanted to take the opportunity to escape, so he quickly agreed to hide away.
Guo Tianxing thought that his ugly daughter-in-law would inevitably meet her parents-in-law, and was ready to accept Lu Shi's punishment.
But he talked about the whole process and waited for the following words with trepidation. He saw Lu Shi just frowning and stood up, and started walking slowly in the middle of the ground with his hands behind his back. He didn't punish or complain to him. He felt even more uneasy. He knew that since Lu Shi went up the mountain, he always felt compassionate. Not to mention that his brothers were killed and injured, even in the face of the enemy, he kept asking everyone to try to kill as little as possible. This time he sent troops privately and killed and injured more than 30 people. Lu Shi must be heartbroken, how could he remain indifferent?
But seeing that Lu Shi was just walking without saying a word, he suddenly realized that he thought it was difficult for the King of Chuang to punish him.
For the future development of the base, Guo Tianxing gritted his teeth and abandoned his old face. He stood up with a loud voice, walked to Lu Shi and knelt down on one knee and bowed. "It's all my fault that I don't listen to the command of the King of Chuang, which has caused a defeat today. Please don't hesitate if the King of Chuang wants to fight or kill. I'm just carrying it here, just don't be angry."
This scared Lu Shi, who was thinking about something, was worried about something, and was too devoted to it. He suddenly saw Tianxing kneeling in front of him with one leg, why didn’t he be shocked? He hurried forward to help him up and said with a smile, “Why do you say this? Please get up quickly, let’s sit down and talk about some things.”
Everyone followed and persuaded each other. Guo Tianxing stood up with shame and found a seat, and sat like a young wife.
Lu Shi smiled and said, "Just just now, I remembered that something was too devoted, which caused the misunderstanding of the commander. It shouldn't be. In fact, this time the commander was reckless and shouldn't have sent troops without discussing with everyone."
Guo Tianxing quickly stood up again and said ashamed to Lu Shi: "It's all mine, please--"
Lu Shi quickly shook his hand, pulled Tianxing down, and then comforted him: "But it is not wrong to send troops. If we don't use the sword against the landlords and powerful people who dare to disobey ours, then let other landlords and powerful people think we can be bullied. It's still necessary to knock on the mountain and the tiger. It's just that the commander made the mistake of blindly sending troops without any plans, so that today's defeat will be achieved. The commander and you all will write down today's lessons."
Everyone hurriedly bowed again and said that they would be taught.
Lu Shi continued: "Don't blame yourself, the commander, there are mine here, after all, I have been too busy with the construction of the base area these days and have ignored the military affairs of the village. If Brother Chen had not asked me for something important, I wouldn't have known that something big happened outside the base area."
Wu Tao hurriedly said with a smile to change the topic, "Don't push it around, I, as a military advisor, have mistakes first. King Chuang is busy with the construction of the base area. I should have been in charge of the parish to share the worries of King Chuang and the commander. I was dereliction of duty, and I should be punished."
Geng Kui also wanted to stand up and speak, Lu Shizhan smiled and said, "Okay, we are not holding a review meeting, let's go first. After this battle, it is also a lesson and an experience."
"What the King of Chuang said is, but why did things just now make you fascinated and forget about what you are around you?" Wu Tao asked.
"This is really a big deal. We must fight this Zhaojia Fort. One is to shake the mountain and shock the tiger. The second is that this Zhaojia Fort and Zhang Yuanheng are in a state of anger and are particularly arrogant. We have captured the Zhaojia Fort in advance, which is also a warning and deterrent to other landlords and powerful people who are engaged in Zhang Yuan. At the same time, we have to cut off one of Zhang Yuan's arms. This is a defeat for each one, and the two things are integrated. Therefore, if we don't fight, we have to fight quickly and not delay."
Wu Tao interjected: "What the military advisor considers is that this is indeed an urgent task." Then he frowned, "But it is not easy to attack a fortress like Zhaojia Fort, which is guarded by a large number of village heroes and Zhuang Dings. Don't say that our spearmen are not good at siege cities, let alone the explanation of the commander, there are still many elm sprays in Zhaojia Fort, so after the battle, we will be killed and injured when we capture Zhaojia Fort. This is inconsistent with the original intention of the King of Chuang and our army when we founded the army."
"But brother has any other way?" Chen San also interfered. "Isn't it like this in ancient times? Even if you use the right time and place, you can only flood Tu Lei and siege. However, no matter which one will cause heavy casualties and injuries, which will involve time."
"But, in order to survive, our brothers in the village will not be afraid of death." Cao Meng said boldly for a while. Everyone nodded in agreement, with a look of perseverance on his face.
Yes, can't life be better now but the fighting spirit is exhausted?
Seeing everyone's fighting spirit, Lu Shi was overjoyed, but it was only if he didn't die or fewer people were what he should do, so he stood up and started to turn around, and smiled confidently while turning around. "Actually, everyone doesn't have to worry. I have a way to go down the city quickly and reduce the casualties of my brothers."
Everyone's eyes lit up. King Chuang has always been resourceful. Since he said that there is a way, it is a method that is unpredictable to gods and ghosts, everyone looked at Lu Shi with eager eyes.
"We can consider bombing the city." Lu Shi smiled and said calmly.
"Yes. Blasting the city is indeed a way." Everyone immediately started to talk excitedly, but they were all silent after a while when they were happy.
Lu Shi asked suspiciously, "Do you guys have any objections to this method?"
Wu Tao coughed and closed his mouth, saying, "The method of breaking the king is not impossible, but the method of bombing the city has existed since ancient times, but it also has several disadvantages."
"Speak and listen."
"The first thing to do is to dig tunnels under the city to explode the city. This is a big project. If the tunnel is close, it must not be known to the enemy. Once the enemy knows, the enemy will dug in the approximate position of our tunnel, or smashed it with a big stone, then our tunnel will collapse and all previous efforts will be wasted, so far away, and the enemy from far away cannot see it. This is a huge project. This is not desirable, and the two are not desirable. Now everyone knows that there is a method of bombing the city, so when the city walls are being built, they are all known that there are methods of bombing the city, so the walls are being built.
After considering this factor, deep foundations are laid with huge rocks under the city wall. When you dig the city, you are often blocked by huge rocks and cannot be blasted. Third, it is not advisable that there are very deep moats outside the city wall. When our tunnels are dug here, we must deepen them, and second, we must prevent water permeability, which is even more difficult. Fourth, it is not advisable that the explosives are too large. Generally, if a section of the city wall is to be blown up, there are no hundreds or thousands of kilograms of explosives. This is why the King of Chuang sees how many people have been there in the past few hundred years.
Have you used the City Blasting Method?’
Lu Shi didn't expect that he would get Wu Tao and other things after he came out with one method. He was really frustrated. He also recalled that China had gunpowder for the past 5,000 years. In the past 5,000 years, countless cities were broken, and few of them were destroyed by explosives.
But when I thought about it, I thought of the crux of the problem, and I said with confidence; "That was when I was not here, but now I am here. I have three treasures. The problem of bombing the city method will not be there, hahahaha."
When everyone saw that Lu Shi was confident, they became interested and asked again.
"My first treasure is my mountain-opening explosives. This thing can be worth hundreds of kilograms of gunpowder, so we don't have to worry about the amount of explosives, and we don't need such a large medicine room. In this way, we can reduce a lot of kung fu."
Everyone's eyes lit up, yes, the yam invented by King Chuang is indeed extremely powerful. It will blow half of the mountain wall if it falls a few dozen kilograms, no matter how the city wall is. But how can you transport it up if you don't want to be authentic?
"My second treasure is the watered quilt." Everyone's eyes lit up again. Yes, during several battles, Geng Kui and Guo Tianxing all saw the power of watering quilts. The two layers of quilts were even the lead emitted by elm, but this thing was too heavy. A man held dozens of kilograms of explosives and then pushed a hundred kilograms of quilts, and he could not move at all. Only Guo Tianxing Geng Kui could do such a strong man like the village. Guo Tianxing Geng Kui understood what everyone meant and stood up and said, "I will do this job, and I will definitely not make any mistakes."
At that time, Lu Shi smiled and stopped him, "Can the commander pretend to be a dangerous person? What if there is a mistake or a mistake, I am not a criminal offender?" Before Tianxing could say anything, he waved his hand. "The commander has his own way, and the commander just takes charge of the command."
"What else can I do with the military advisor?"
Lu Shi smiled and knocked on the table. Everyone didn't know why Lu Shi was just knocking on the table and not talking. While he was wondering, Wu Tao and Chen San suddenly shouted together, "I understand, the military advisor is such a good idea."
The rest of the people saw that their brother understood and hurried forward to ask.
"Is it very simple? After pouring several quilts on water, covering the table and carrying them by four people, then putting them down at the edge of the city, let's dig the soil together?" Everyone suddenly realized that they all cheered for the military advisor's method. But Zhao Xing found that this method was insufficient. That was, although it could withstand the bows, arrows, leads, but it could not withstand the multiple smashings of big stones. As long as the people in the city aimed at the table and smashed them continuously, the people under the table would be unlucky, and the excavation room could not be pushed out. Just by tying the bricks and stones on the city walls could not be done in a short time.
