Chapter 363: The Oriental Flag, The Oriental Arrow
Lu Ruisheng knew all about the flag language, but he really didn't understand the flag language for the Xianbei people.
"My subordinates don't understand, how to use this semaphore?"
"Only people from Xianbei can understand?"
Ancient battle formations also had soldiers who were responsible for signaling flags. Although the number was small, in an army of tens of thousands, this unit was absolutely indispensable.
Whether the general mobilizes his soldiers to attack or retreat, or even move in different directions, he requires the cooperation of the flag soldiers.
However, the semaphore also has certain limitations, because it is for family members to see, so it is necessary to ensure that the movements of the semaphore, the color of the flag, and even the movements of raising the flag have fixed habits, and this can only be done by soldiers of the own army.
Only then did I know.
It must not be known to the enemy, so that it can be kept confidential.
He seems to be a very smart person, but why is he so slow to react?
"Isn't this easy?"
"You just do this!"
Wang Mi shook his hand, and Lu Ruisheng hurriedly came over. Wang Mi whispered a few words, and a new world opened before Lu Ruisheng's eyes.
I go!
There is still such an operation!
…………
"Enter the city!"
"Bros!"
"Follow me!"
Under Qi Xia's sect, the Jingzhou soldiers' brothers had already shouted the slogan of climbing the city. They took the lead and climbed up the Lingyun Ladder.
The Qixia Gate Tower is right in front of you!
"General Murong, look at the situation, the Jin army is really going to attack the city. If they really come up, what should we do?" Yang Xiu, a man of two feet tall, was scratching his head, with a big word written on his forehead: "Sorrow!"
He couldn't understand how Murong Chui could still be so calm and collected when he was already worried like this.
With the protection of the shield, the condition of the Xianbei soldiers has improved a lot. Although they are occasionally injured, the injuries are not serious.
Murong Chui judged that the Jin people had also seen some clues to the goodwill he had shown, and their offensive was obviously not as good as before.
"Whose is this Xiangyang City?"
It's inexplicable, why would the general ask such a question?
Isn’t this asking knowingly?
"Of course it's from Di people!"
"Since it belongs to the Di people and has been taken over by the Jin people, what does it have to do with me?" Murong Chui looked back with a matter-of-fact expression.
Yang Xiu realized this, and Murong Chui smiled: "Not only can we not stop them, we also have to help them."
A good man goes to the end and sends the Buddha to the West. Murong Chui is a good Buddha.
Just below Murong Chui's sight, some of the Jin troops who were the first to climb the city had climbed to the top of the Lingyun Staircase. Behind them were the arrows of the Beifu soldiers. In front, the Xianbei people were resisting again. It was such a good opportunity to climb up without any effort.
City wall, when will it be updated?
You know, in the Jin Dynasty's military merit system, the first soldier to climb the city can also receive a heavy reward!
"Brothers, come on!"
"There are still a few steps left, and we will be successful soon!"
Victory is close at hand, and the reward is right in front of you!
The Jingzhou soldiers seemed to have been injected with chicken blood. They were all very motivated, with roots growing on their soles, and they seemed to be flying on the Lingyun Ladder step by step.
"Brothers of the Jin Army, come up!"
The Jingzhou soldiers were still intoxicated with the excitement of attacking the empty city, with the big prize in front of them, and were about to drag themselves up the parapet of Qixia Gate.
When I looked up, I saw hands appearing right in front of me.
Not one!
Beside a string of city walls, carefully counting from left to right, right to left, there are actually more than a dozen!
this……
Which one was sung again?
"Come up!"
"General Murong ordered that the Xianbei people not attack the Jin people."
"We'll pull you up!"
The Xianbei soldier's big, bearded face actually showed a smile. His teeth were quite white, but his smile was stiff, unnatural, and even a little scary.
The scene was a bit awkward for a moment. Those who wanted to climb the city and those who wanted to defend the city were all frozen there, no one wanted to take another step forward.
"General Murong!"
"Look, what is that?"
Yang Xiu was greatly shocked by the spectacle in front of him. Before he could recover from the first wave of shock, he was forced to accept the second wave of shock.
Murong Chui looked in the direction pointed by Yang Xiu and saw a person suddenly rising up in the middle of the neatly arranged battle formation at the farthest end of the visual range.
That man was far taller than the other soldiers by about half a person. This height obviously could not be the difference between normal heights. The soldier must have stepped on a high platform, a small stool or something like that.
The reason why this man caught Yang Xiu's attention was of course not just because he stood higher than other ordinary soldiers.
It was the movements of his hands that actually raised two small flags!
In full view of everyone, he suddenly turned back and started waving the flag.
"What semaphore is this?"
“I’ve never seen that before!”
As a legendary general of a generation, Murong Chui was experienced and well-informed. There was almost no matter in the military that he did not know about.
But this so-called "flag language" of the Jin army also confused Lao Chuizhui.
The flag soldiers of the Jin army held a small flag. They did not wave the flag up and down in complicated movements, but raised the flag high, and then moved it to the west. What next?
There's no after that.
The small flag was held like this by the flag soldiers, facing west. At the same time, sparse arrows flew out from the formation of the Beifu soldiers again and flew towards Qixia Gate!
"coming!"
"The Jin army started firing arrows again!"
"Get out of here!"
As soon as the arrow was released, Murong Chui noticed the movements of the archers and immediately subconsciously led the soldiers to retreat to the east.
Although they were protected by tall and thick shields in front of them, both Murongchui and the Xianbei soldiers subconsciously moved closer to avoid the arrows.
The Xianbei Army's defense is tight, and the shields are airtight, making it quite safe.
Compared with some of the panicked soldiers, Murong Chui's posture can be said to be calm and calm.
Soon, he discovered something unusual among the sparse arrows.
These arrows were actually shot from the same direction.
And that direction is to the west!
What’s even weirder than the fact that the arrows all come from the west is that there aren’t even any arrows from other directions except the west!
How is this possible?
What kind of new trick is this?
Murong Chui suddenly felt that the leader of the Jin army, who had not yet shown his face, was making all kinds of strange moves, making it hard to guard against.
Just when Murong Chui was confused, Wang Mi from far away thoughtfully sent him the answer.
Seeing that the arrows in the west had almost been shot, the flag-bearer finally shot the small flag to the east again.
At this time, the archers of the Jin army standing in the east direction raised their bows and arrows in cooperation, and for a moment, the arrows flew straight out.
The archers on the east side also put down their bows and arrows, rested on the spot, and did not release another arrow.
"There must be something wrong with this!"
Murong Chui hurriedly fled to the west, and suddenly a thought flashed in his mind. He seemed to finally understand!
If the flag points to the west, arrows will be fired in the west, and there will be no arrows in the east. Similarly, if the flag points to the east, arrows will be fired in the east, and the west will be safe.
"This is the Jin army cooperating with us!" He shouted and called Yang Xiu: "Keep an eye on the Jin army's flag. Wherever the flag points, arrows will be fired there, and our army will shoot in the opposite direction.
Just dodge in the direction."
"Let us cooperate with the Jin army and put on a good show!"
