Wanyan Chizha's face was silent and speechless, staring blankly at the miserable death of the soldiers under his command in front of him.
The little cutie suppressed herself from trembling, biting her lips and looking at the bloody corpse of the soldier in front of her.
"Uncle, what's going on? Why did Dalong's cannon fire under the city wall?"
Wanyan Chizha shook his head silently and glanced at the Dalong soldiers who were extinguishing fireworks on the Yingzhou city wall: "It's not artillery shells, but another explosive item with terrifying lethality."
"It's still unclear what it is, but my uncle speculates that it is most likely your father's handiwork!"
The little cutie was startled, her hands tangled together and she became speechless.
Wanyan Chizha sighed silently and looked at the bodyguards on the side: "Chi Zemu, Wanyan Tong, have they returned from Chongwu Port after clearing the battlefield?"
"Go back to the deputy commander. He hasn't returned yet. I'll inform them immediately!"
""Ask them to come quickly and leave the matter of cleaning up the battlefield to the deputy general first.
"Got the order!"
The little cutie looked at Wanyan Chiezha with confused eyes: "Uncle, what should we do next?"
"Commander, don't worry. It's just a small sudden change. Once you understand the cause and effect, you can naturally come up with strategies to deal with it."
"All right!"
Over a cup of tea, six or seven middle-aged generals in armor were sitting around Wanyan Chiezha's large tent, looking at Wanyan Chiezha who was silent and silent with serious expressions.
Wanyan Chizha glanced at the little cutie who was sitting upright, intending to listen quietly, and tapped the table gently.
"Tell me what's going on."
"Deputy Commander, when the general led his brothers to attack the city wall, the enemy troops on the city wall dropped thunder stones and rolling logs as usual. The general thought it would be the same this time, but he didn't expect that the thunder stones and rolling stones were mixed with some dangerous weapons.
Smoky iron lumps!"
"The thing that caused heavy casualties to the brothers was this iron bump. The brothers didn't care that those iron bumps would cause a violent explosion when they continued to move forward."
"The brothers were caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties, narrowly escaping death."
"The situation on General Mo's side is almost the same as that on Chi Jiangjun's side."
"None of us were prepared for these iron lumps. After these things exploded around us, many brothers were frightened by the huge explosion and were stunned. Before they had time to recover, they were dropped one after another on the city wall."
"I still don't know what the name of this hugely damaging thing is, but one thing we can tell is that these things are small cannonballs."
"It's just that it was fired from the barrel instead of thrown by the enemy soldiers' hands."
"What Chigun said is right. Compared with the powerful artillery shells, this kind of iron lump is very small and difficult to guard against. It can easily slip through the gaps in the shield and fall under the feet."
"Once unfolded, the steel balls inside will scatter in all directions, making it impossible to avoid them."
Wanyan Chizha thought for a moment with a solemn expression: "How many people have been counted?"
"Not counting other losses, the number of casualties among the brothers under the iron knot is at least 3,000."
Wanyan Chizha's pupils shrank, and the fists placed on the table were clenched suddenly, and the joints were a little white.
"More than three thousand soldiers were killed or injured in just a few breaths?"
Chi Zemu and the other seven looked at each other and nodded helplessly.
"Deputy Commander, it's not that we are incompetent, it's just that these things were too sudden. They exploded into a large area and the brothers had no time to react."
"Especially when they gathered under the city wall, the sword and shield soldiers all gathered together to use their shields to defend against the thundering rocks and rolling logs on the city wall in order to cover the brothers carrying the ladders as they attacked the city."
"All the iron lumps were thrown into the dense phalanx of brothers, and then..."
Wanyan Chizha sighed silently and scanned the faces of the seven people.
"Is there any way to deal with it?"
“I can’t think of how to deal with it yet.”
"This is the first time for brothers to see this kind of thing. I really don't know what method to use to contain it."
"The size is too small. It is difficult to detect without careful observation when it falls under your feet. Moreover, most of the brothers' minds are focused on facing attacks from above, which makes it even more difficult to deal with."
Wanyan Chizha nodded silently without saying any words of reprimand.
Seeing this kind of thing for the first time immediately reminded them that how to deal with it was indeed a bit difficult.
Even though I don't have the slightest clue right now.
The little cutie held her chin with one hand and glanced at Wanyan Chizha and the seven generals and said softly: "Kick the shuttlecock!"
Wanyan was stunned for a moment and looked at the little cutie in confusion: "Commander, what are you talking about playing shuttlecock at this time? It's a war now!"
The little cutie looked at Wanyan Chiezha quietly: "Uncle, what would you do if these iron lumps were shuttlecocks?"
"Kick back...kick back!"
Wanyan Chizhahu stared at the little cutie with wide eyes: "You mean, use a shield to push back these iron bumps?"
The little cutie pointed at one of the generals and nodded: "General Wan Yantong said that those iron lumps will smoke for a while before exploding. If there are agile kung fu masters among the shield hands, they should be able to push those iron lumps far away with their shields.
Go everywhere.”
"Maybe you can pick it up and throw it on the city wall."
Wanyan Chizha thought for a while, looking at the cutie holding her chin with bright eyes, and chuckled.
"Okay, what a great idea. Shuttlecock kicking can reveal a way to use soldiers. Only you, Xiao Yue'er, in the world can come up with it."
"You are right. As long as the traces of these iron bumps are found out in time, they can retaliate in kind and let them taste the horror of these iron bumps themselves."
The seven generals looked at the little cutie in surprise. They and others had not thought of such a simple reason.
Wanyan Chizha murmured for a while and suddenly slammed the table, startling the little cutie.
Wanyan Chizha smiled awkwardly, pretending not to see the little cutie's reaction and looking at the seven generals.
"Instruct the three armies to temporarily suspend their troops."
"The commander's three hundred soldiers are all top-notch kung fu masters. They can disguise themselves and temporarily blend into the shield hand!"
"You guys will describe the general appearance of the iron lump later, and let the auxiliary weapon craftsman carve the same shape out of stone."
"no problem."
"Wanyan Duo listens to the order."
"The end will be here."
"After you lead the three hundred Guards to secretly evacuate to Yingzui Rock in Shanhaiguan, wait for the craftsmen to carve out the iron-shaped models, and immediately distribute them to the Guards, allowing them to evolve their offensive and defensive capabilities."
"Got the order!"
After Wanyan Chizha gave the order, he stared at the sand table for a while: "I don't know if the two armies in Fuzhou and Jezhou have encountered the same problem as us."
"Commander, you should immediately send a letter to the generals of the other two armies to inform them of this incident. Also, inform them of the precautionary measures so that they can prepare in advance to prevent any unexpected events!"
"Yes, yes, yes, I will fix the book right away."
Watching the little cutie grinding ink, Wanyan Chizha looked at the seven generals and waved his hands.
"Instruct the three armies to repair for a day."
"Send two lines of elite cavalry to patrol in a roundabout way to prevent Yingzhou City's Dalong defenders from leaving the city for a surprise attack."
"It's an order."
Glancing at the little cutie, Wanyan Chizha slowly walked out of the tent, took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and waved to a guard with a golden eagle standing on his shoulder.
Putting the note in the bamboo tube on the leg of the golden eagle, Wanyan Chizha raised it with all his strength, and the golden eagle made a long cry and circled away.
The direction is directly towards the capital of the Kingdom of Jin.
