"Your Majesty, the rebels have begun to attack the city. Please retreat to the tower temporarily."
Yeluhu, the general of the Xiong Shang Army, held his sword in his hand and became serious when he heard the trumpet sound outside the city, knowing that what was about to happen was a life-or-death battle.
The Queen thought for a while and then agreed.
She clearly understood that when it came to the imperial art of planning and balancing, even ten Yeluhu might not be her opponents.
However, when it comes to the ability to march and form formations, he is far inferior to generals like Yeluhu.
This means that there are specialties in the profession, and each performs his own duties. If he is not in his position, he will not pursue his own affairs.
Standing on the top of the city by yourself can certainly increase the morale of the soldiers defending the city, but it will also distract General Yeluhu from taking care of his own safety and prevent him from dealing with the enemy wholeheartedly.
Seeing the empress nodding, Yeluhu breathed a sigh of relief. If the empress insisted on staying at the top of the city, he, as a minister, had nothing to do.
"Your Majesty, please come this way. I will report the battle situation to you in time."
"General Yelu, I am not as good as you in marching and fighting. If you focus on defending the city, I will never cause you any trouble. But you must carefully consider and implement what I just told you."
"Don't worry, your majesty. I will do my best to keep the "hit-one-release-one" thing under wraps so that the enemy will not notice anything is wrong."
"Okay, General Yelu, you can take command. I will go up to the tower to watch the battle."
"I obey the decree."
As a general, he was by no means indecisive. Yeluhu went straight to the city gate where he commanded the army and waited for the arrival of the army.
"Damn it, how many people are there?"
Young Master Liu stood on the city wall and stared blankly at the crowds of people retreating in the distance, feeling a little panicked. No matter how powerful his scheming was, it was inevitable that he would feel a little panicked after experiencing such a battle for the first time.
Song Qing checked it out and said: "It is roughly estimated that there are about 80,000 people. It seems that your alienation plan has worked. These people attacking the city are divided into four echelons. They are clearly separated and do not interfere with each other."
"Eighty thousand people? Are these people going to attack the city without testing each other?"
"Testing? If it weren't for your alienation plan, five thousand people might try it. But with your plan, no one of the four is willing to let his team be the vanguard to attack the city. They are all trying to conserve their own strength."
"If you surround us ten times, you will divide it if you do it twice. It seems that these guys are also worried about the arrival of reinforcements and are eager for success."
"This is the best. The more unstable their military morale is, if it is beneficial to the Queen's side, we can be safe and sound."
"Brother, when the two armies are fighting, shouldn't two generals be sent to fight for a while in front of the two armies? It's a bit unconventional to attack the city first, and you don't abide by the rules."
"Who told you that when two armies are fighting, you have to film the generals fighting each other first?"
"The story told by the TV storyteller, the two tiger generals will fight for a while, and then start to attack the city. Isn't this very exciting?"
Song Qing smiled happily: "This is not passion, this is the behavior of a fool. You have to know how much financial and material resources it will consume to train a general. How can you let him fight in front of the battle at will? It is easy to win a thousand armies, but it is difficult to find a general."
That's the truth. The general is the backbone of the army. How could he act so rashly? What you heard is just the conjecture of the storyteller. It's okay to listen to the story, just take it seriously."
"Okay!" Liu Mingzhi nodded knowingly: "Hearsay can really kill people."
If you think about it carefully, how can there be so many generals who would fight and abandon their armies without caring.
"What you said is not entirely true. The storyteller's words are somewhat based on what you just asked him about. When fighting in the wild, the generals of the two sides will have some brief confrontations, but they are all insignificant generals. It is easy to
Cultivate, the real people who command the three armies are those who sit in the military camp and command the overall situation, such as General Yelu of the Jin Kingdom, you can see for yourself."
Song Qing nuzzled his lips in the direction of Yeluhu’s forehead.
Liu Mingzhi looked around and saw a dozen generals and dozens of messengers surrounding Yeluhu, waiting for Yeluhu to issue the order and pass it on.
Sitting in the center and commanding the three armies is the ancient rule of war. Before the war begins, if the army is killed in the fight, it will be difficult to defeat the army.
"Brother, how about I lend this thing to General Yelu for use first?"
Young Master Liu held up the telescope he gave to Song Qing. After all, Song Qing was his master, and he should seek his opinion no matter what.
Even when the relationship is close, don't make decisions for others at will. This is Liu Mingzhi's policy in life.
"Where's yours?"
Song Qing looked at the telescope in Liu Mingzhi's hand with some reluctance. If it was damaged by Yeluhu, where would he go to reason with it?
Liu Mingzhi's face turned gloomy, and he murmured at the city: "The girl accidentally threw her down, so she lost ten taels of silver, just like she was sent away to beg for food."
Song Qing nodded helplessly: "Okay, tell Yeluhu to be careful. If he breaks it, I won't be done with him."
"I know, I'm so angry."
"Mingrui, when the vanguard of the rebel army reaches fifty steps below the city, the archers will shoot in three columns. Try to save arrows. When they are thirty steps closer, your hand crossbowmen will coordinate with the archers to shoot.
Rebels holding a siege ladder."
"It's an order."
"When the rebels put the ladder up on the battlements, don't release the thunder, stone, rolling wood and golden juice right away. Start dropping it when the rebels are more than halfway up the ladder. If you can't kill them, you have to throw them to death."
"It's an order."
"General Yelu, I have something that can help you."
Yeluhu, who was assigning tasks to his generals, was stunned and looked at the telescope handed to him by Master Liu in surprise.
"Your Majesty, this is"
"General Yelu, you will understand when you put the telescope in front of your eyes."
As expected, Yeluhu looked at the siege army in the mirror with a delighted expression, and naturally understood the mystery.
"Mingrui."
"The end will be here."
"The archers extended the distance of eighty steps, climbed over the enemy's front army, and shot at the enemy's center. Most of the enemies in the center were covered with cloth armor and lacked complete protection."
"It's an order."
"Yutai Road."
"The end will be here."
"The hand crossbow shooting also needs to change the distance, extending it by about forty steps. The archers will let the front army go, and you will bear the brunt of the pressure. You must proceed with caution."
"The general will obey the decree."
"Get to your positions and prepare to meet the enemy."
"kill."
"kill."
"kill."
When the rebels attacking the city reached a certain distance, the weapons in their hands began to align with their shields, shouting deafening killing sounds, which put a lot of pressure on the defenders on the city wall.
The governor of the rebel army waved the command flag, and the rebel army suddenly became faster: "Charge"
The sword and shield bearers began to cover and watch the soldiers on the siege ladder rush forward desperately.
The command flag in Yeluhu's hand suddenly flicked: "Fire the arrow."
Suddenly, whizzing sounds could be heard on the city wall, and arrows flew towards the rebels.
In the blink of an eye, many rebel soldiers began to suffer casualties.
"Archers, fight back and suppress the archers on the wall."
Liu Mingzhi held up a shield in his hand and looked at the scene below the city with a pale face. There were the wails of the rebels everywhere.
"Forehead"
Liu Mingzhi was stunned when he saw a Jin soldier next to him had his throat pierced by an arrow. He died on the spot and blood was spread everywhere.
It was just the beginning. Both sides began to suffer casualties. There were already more than a dozen corpses piled up around Liu Mingzhi.
His stomach was churning, and Liu Mingzhi pursed his lips to endure the discomfort.
"Isn't it cruel?"
"Yes!" Hearing Song Qing's voice, Liu Mingzhi nodded gently.
"It's like this for the first time. There's no shame in it. Just get used to it. There's no such thing as undead in war. This is just the beginning. In the end, corpses will be piled up like a hill. There will be blood dripping under your feet. I hope you will do this.
Be mentally prepared.”
"Prepare the thundering stone and rolling wood."
While Young Master Liu was stunned, the rebels desperately attached the ladder to the city and began to climb.
Song Qing protected Liu Mingzhi behind him and drew out the horizontal knife from his waist: "Brother, be careful."
Young Master Liu took a few deep breaths and drew out his sword: "I know, I will take care of myself."
Both sides are attacking and we are defending, and groups of rebels have begun to climb up the city wall despite the hail of swords and arrows.
The rebel Liu Mingzhi looked at the probe and was stunned for a moment.
Song Qing shook his head slightly, grabbed Young Master Liu's wrist with his left hand and violently exerted force on him. The cold light of the Heavenly Sword flashed, and a head flew into the air.
The Heavenly Sword was not stained by blood, and the enemy's blood sprayed all over Liu Mingzhi's face.
Song Qing put down Young Master Liu's wrist: "Third brother, from now on, you will be considered a real man."
