Qin Shaoyou was thinking when he suddenly heard several strange muffled sounds.
He took a closer look and saw that it was the defeated soldiers whose heads had been enlarged by witchcraft by the Qingtang wizard and who were shouting and cursing outside the city. Because they could not withstand the witchcraft power, the protruding blood vessels on their heads exploded, leaving their faces full of tears.
It was blood, and it looked like an evil ghost had just crawled out of the blood pool hell.
These defeated soldiers stopped yelling and yelled, holding their big heads and howling in agony.
The defenders on the city wall saw this and were about to shout loudly when they saw the Qingtang barbarians strode forward, brandishing their maces and smashing the heads of these defeated soldiers like watermelons.
The Qingtang wizard on the side didn't know what kind of witchcraft he had unleashed, but he saw that the blood of these dead soldiers had been drained out in an instant, turning them into mummies.
The Qingtang barbarians were already accustomed to this scene. They pulled out a few more people from the broken army. The Qingtang wizard used witchcraft to enlarge their heads and ordered them to replace the ones who had just died.
Those people continued to shout and curse in order to disturb the minds of the soldiers and civilians in the city.
When the defeated soldiers refused to obey, the Qingtang wizard recited a spell, causing the witchcraft in their bodies to take effect immediately, blowing up their heads and tearing off their human skins.
Seeing this scene, the defenders on the city wall were filled with hatred and cursed the Qingtang barbarians and wizards below the city with the most vicious words.
But this was of no use. Instead, it made the Qingtang barbarians and wizards laugh, telling them that the people in the city were anxious and asking them to curse louder. The louder they cursed, the more people they killed.
After Huang Suiqiu led everyone up to the city wall, he asked them to wait on the top of the city while he went to the heavily guarded city tower to report. At this moment, he turned back and took a look at the situation below the city. His face was gloomy, but there was nothing
There are too many ways. After gritting his teeth, he greeted: "Junior sister, brother Qin, master and Yu Shaobao are discussing how to deal with the enemy. I want you to come and have a listen. Senior Wei and Uncle Shui also invite you to go with them.
.The rest of the brothers and Taoist Priest Yuhuangguan, you have worked hard in the fierce battle before, so please rest here for now. I have arranged for people to bring you hot water and meals soon."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Qin Shaoyou gave Cui Yougui and Monk Ma a few words of advice, then took out the mandarin duck pot and handed it to them, asking them to cook the hot pot on the top of the city.
Ordinary meals, how can the spiritual delicacy cooked in this mandarin duck pot restore the consumed blood and mana even if you are full?
If Qi Longfei and Yu Huyue hadn't asked him to go to the tower to listen to the battle arrangements, he would have wanted to stay and cook hot pot so that his excessive consumption of blood could be restored as soon as possible.
Following Huang Suiqiu into the city tower, Qin Shaoyou found that it had been decorated as a former enemy headquarters. A detailed defense map of the Qingtang Acropolis was hung on the wall, and a simple sand table was placed on the large table.
The various situations of the enemy forces in Qingtang that were marked were very detailed, from the approximate number of people to the tribes they belonged to, etc., everything was marked.
In this headquarters, in addition to Qi Longfei, Yu Huyue, Liao Tixue, and Magistrate Xu, there are also several guerrillas, guards, and counselors from the Qingtang Guard.
Although these guerrillas and guards were not the confidants of Dongchuan Hou, when Dongchuan Hou was in charge of the Qingtang Guard, as subordinates, they often fawned over Dongchuan Hou and actively carried out his orders.
Now that the Marquis of Dongchuan has fallen because of colluding with Qingtang and plotting evil intentions, they are afraid of being implicated and will be liquidated afterwards, so they are very active and have a strong desire to fight.
But even so, the suggestions they put forward were to defend the city and wait for reinforcements.
"This time Qingtang is probably a nation-wide attack, and we fought a great victory outside the city, wiping out tens of thousands of our troops. It is a time when morale is high. We should avoid its edge, take advantage of our advantages, and rely on solid defenses.
The city walls and magic circle are consumed by the stalemate with them."
"The Qingtang people are not good at attacking the city. As long as we can't hold on, they won't be around for long and they will retreat on their own."
"Zhao Shoubei is right,
It would be better if the Qingtang people do not retreat. When the reinforcements arrive, we will fight out of the city and cooperate with the reinforcements inside and outside, and we will definitely be able to defeat the Qingtang army in one fell swoop!"
In the eyes of these generals of the Qingtang Guard, although the Qingtang people are strong in the field, they are not good at attacking the city. This is the experience they have summarized from their past experiences with the Qingtang barbarians.
Only this time, their experience didn't work.
"Qingtang is not good at attacking the city, that's because of Lao Huangli."
Qi Longfei took out a jade pendant from his arms and activated his blood energy, causing it to release its radiant brilliance.
"This jade pendant was delivered back by my secret sentry who was lying in ambush outside the city just now at the risk of his life. It records some of the things he discovered in the barbarian camp in Qingtang. Take a look."
As Qi Longfei finished speaking, the light released from the jade pendant converged into an image.
The content of the image is not complicated. It is a group of craftsmen, whipped by Qingtang barbarians, cutting wood and making siege equipment in the darkness outside the city where no one can see.
There is also a group of Qingtang wizards guarding the side. Whenever a siege equipment is completed, they will step forward and release witchcraft to enhance the power and durability of these siege equipment.
In addition, there is a group of Qingtang soldiers who have obviously received corresponding training, sitting on the ground to rest and receiving pre-battle baptism from the Qingtang wizard.
The generals in the city tower all have rich practical experience. One look at the appearance of the siege equipment, and you can tell that they are specially used to target the Qingtang Acropolis, because there are various arrangements on these siege equipment to prevent the attack.
Measures of the Qingtang Acropolis Array.
It was obvious that the Qingtang barbarians knew more about the magic formations and defenses on the city than they did the defenders!
They don’t know if this information was revealed to them by Marquis Dongchuan, or if they had sent spies to spy on the city early on, but they themselves never discovered it?
After a brief moment of surprise, the generals all made a decision in their hearts. If the court wanted to investigate the matter afterwards, they would insist that it was Marquis Dongchuan who leaked it!
Anyway, Marquis Dongchuan is dead, so let him take the blame.
The faces of the generals were very ugly, and the counselors became even more panicked, and they opened their mouths and said:
"Qingtang actually learned how to make siege equipment? It must be the previous trade exchanges that allowed them to find opportunities and secretly learn this knowledge. I have said before that we can't let the craftsmen follow them..."
"It's over, it's over. Look at these siege equipment. They are all targeted. Our last support is gone. How can we fight this battle? There is no way to fight it."
"How about we abandon the city and break out of the siege? While the Qingtang barbarians have just arrived, uukanshu.com www.uukanshu.com may not have a stable foothold, so we might be able to rush out! Wait until we gather the defeated army, join up with the reinforcements, and then come back to drive out the barbarians.
Kou, regain the lost ground..."
Good guy.
Qin Shaoyou glanced at these counselors and thought to himself, are these defeatist counselors? Now they are shouting that they can't be beaten and want to escape, and they are not afraid of being pushed out and executed by Qi Datong and Yu Shaobao for disturbing the morale of the army?
However, defeatist strategists have always been poisonous in the opposite direction. They say defeat is inevitable, so does that mean they should win?
At this time, Qi Longfei and Yu Huyue also saw Qin Shaoyou and others brought in by Huang Suiqiu.
Especially after seeing Wei Tu, who was carrying a sword on the door panel, and Bai Qingjiang Shuibo, who was wearing a large silk suit and looked like a silly son of a landlord, they hurriedly stood up to greet them.
After all, these two are not only the same as them, they are also semi-god-level masters, and their identities are also very simple. One is the master's direct disciple, and the other is the true god Shui Bo, so etiquette must not be lost.
Of course, they did not forget to express their hard work and praise to Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer.
Seeing Qin Shaoyou's half-drawn head in his hand, Qi Longfei motioned to him to put his head down and stop carrying it around, making people mistakenly think that their red-clothed envoys had some weird hobbies: "Is this the head of Marquis Dongchuan? Put it away?
Step aside. You have made a great contribution this time. Once we clear the siege of Qingtang Guard and return to the capital, I will personally ask Your Majesty for your merits."
Qin Shaoyou said sincerely that I can also draw this cake, but he still wanted to thank Qin Qiaoer together.
After this brief interlude, the military discussion continued. Yu Huyue turned his attention to Qin Shaoyou and others and asked: "Did you hear everyone's discussion just now? Do you have any opinions?"
