There are flakes of snow, the sky and the earth are vast!
In the wind and snow, the boundless Wu Yue army could be vaguely seen slowly approaching Changzhou City!
On the top of the city, seeing that Li Yu had no intention of retreating, Eunuch Li said softly: "Your Majesty, the son of a rich man, cannot sit down in the hall. You are a man of ten thousand chariots and the leader of a country. You should not take risks!" The implication is that!
It's time for Li Yu to withdraw from the city!
Li Yu patted the armrest, looked resolutely, and said in a deep voice: "The army is pressing forward, life and death are on the line! Only if I take the lead can all the soldiers of the Southern Tang Dynasty be united as one! Only in this way can we achieve this: the general will not be greedy for life, and the soldiers will not be afraid of death.
Heart! Only with the determination to fight for every inch of territory and fight to the bitter end can we, the Tang Dynasty, achieve final victory!"
Eunuch Li's snow-white eyebrows wrinkled, "Although Wu Yue's army has a large number of people, its combat power has never been as good as ours in the Southern Tang Dynasty. Why should the emperor be so worried?" He felt that the emperor had overestimated Wu Yue's strength!
Li Yu pointed at the endless Wu Yue army in the distance, "Strategically, we can despise them. They have little land, a small population, and insufficient soldiers. They are not on the same order of magnitude as us, but tactically, we cannot despise them.
Half a point! Look, they are quite well prepared this time. They have all kinds of siege equipment! Look, there are actually five ladders! "Ladders are not easy to make, they are time-consuming, laborious and expensive! They actually invested in five ladders at one time
, it can be seen that this attack has cost a lot of money!
Eunuch Li looked around and saw five ladders several feet high looming among Wu Yue's army!
He frowned and said: "This ladder is only three feet high, and it can't reach the top of the wall. Aren't they going to die by climbing up there?" After climbing to the top of the ladder, they can't go up or down. What's the point of it other than to be used as an arrow target and beheaded?
Li Yu said: "Their ladder is telescopic, and there is still half of it that has not been explored. The other section can be pulled out when we reach the bottom of the city. The height of the entire ladder can reach four to five feet. It is no problem higher than the top of the city!"
Eunuch Li's eagle eyes were as sharp as knives, and he said in a deep voice: "There's no need to worry about that. We still have a moat. How do they get their ladders here?"
Li Yu said calmly: "They have a trench bridge!"
"Hao Bridge? What is a trench bridge?" Eunuch Li has lived in the palace for a long time and has never participated in a march or war. He really doesn't know many things clearly!
"The trench bridge is also called Feijiang or Flying Bridge! "Six Towers·Hu Tower·Military" has long recorded that the flying bridge crossing the trench is one foot and five feet wide and more than two feet long.
Tools, with a ring and a cable to open it up! To put it bluntly, it is a movable wooden bridge! To put it more simply, it is a long wooden board with wheels installed under it. The wheels are installed for easy pushing! The flying bridge was originally used to deal with trenches
Yes, when they encounter a ditch, they push it forward and build it, and it becomes a temporary bridge! Looking at how aggressive they are this time, they must have built a flying bridge to deal with the moat!"
"Your Majesty is saying that the flying bridge looks like a long and wide wooden board, right?"
"Did you see it?"
"There are several square formations of soldiers surrounding several objects that look like long wooden boards!"
"You have better eyesight than me, so I can't see clearly, but if it's really a long plank, it can't be anything other than a flying bridge!"
Eunuch Li frowned and said: "It seems that they are really well prepared. Your Majesty, are we prepared accordingly?" After hearing Li Yu's words, he stopped his contempt for Wu Yue and gradually became worried!
Li Yu pointed to the top of the city, where many soldiers were still carrying bows and arrows, pine oil, gunpowder, and lime. He smiled and said: "Don't underestimate your opponents too much, and don't overestimate your opponents! These things are enough for them to drink a pot."
It’s over!”
He suddenly saw a faint bruise on Eunuch Li's face, and asked, "Where are my six golden pythons?"
Eunuch Li smiled awkwardly, "I am willing to receive the death penalty!"
"All dead?"
"All dead."
"They all died at Feng Jiuxiao's hands?"
"Five died in his hands, and one died in my hands. That one was hypnotized by Feng Jiuxiao and attacked me. I had to kill it in self-defense!" The golden python chased him for a long time, and was designed by him to
Jiming Temple borrowed the power of several monks to kill him!
Li Yu stared at him for a long time and sighed, "It'll be nice if he comes back!"
Eunuch Li was shocked! The eyes of others also flashed!
Li Yu is really very kind to Eunuch Li, it goes without saying!
Eunuch Li's heart was racing, and he knelt down with a bang: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing me!"
In the past, he only said a few words of relief to the prince who liked to chant the wind and the moon. Unexpectedly, after the prince ascended the throne, he promoted him all the way until he was given a python robe and a golden belt! This is the peak state that a eunuch can achieve!
Eunuch Li sighed secretly: It's a pity that he has already surrendered to the Demon Lord, and his loyal ministers will not serve the two masters!
I can only follow the Demon Lord's wishes and instigate Southern Tang to conquer everywhere. If this road is blocked, I can do the next best thing. When others attack Southern Tang, I must encourage the rulers of Southern Tang to never surrender! They must fight to the end!
If he were not a member of the Demon Lord, he would immediately persuade Li Yu to give up resistance!
Because he knew that Li Yu was no match for the Wu and Yue coalition forces!
There were more than 30,000 living corpses mixed into Wu Yue's army!
Once there is a fight, the opponent will quickly break through the city defenses and then go on a killing spree!
Eunuch Li suddenly frowned again. He was wondering about a question. If Li Yu surrendered, could Wu Yue stop in time?
I'm afraid not!
Eunuch Li shook his head and sighed! Once the Demon Lord starts the chariot, it will not stop easily! It doesn't matter whether the Southern Tang surrenders or not, the massacre of the city must be carried out! The Qian family may try to appease people's hearts in order to stabilize the political power, but the Demon Cult
No! Their goal is to cleanse the world!
Suddenly, a figure flashed behind him, and Mr. Huo, dressed in black, was already standing in front of Li Yu, holding a wild goose feather arrow in his left hand!
The arrow tip is sharp and the cold light is dazzling!
Eunuch Li looked far into the distance and saw that there was indeed a man under the flag of Wu Yue's army who had just lowered his longbow! When the man saw Li Yu's figure revealed, he shot a sneak attack. Fortunately, Mr. Huo took action in time!
Li Yu raised his eyebrows, "This archer is so strong, he can shoot from such a long distance!"
Mr. Huo's eyes flashed, "No problem, I'll shoot him!" He asked the soldier next to him for a bow, and pulled the string as lightly as the full moon. Everyone was expecting him to shoot this shocking arrow, but unexpectedly he let go of the bow.
Come down!
Li Yu frowned and said, "Mr. Huo, what's wrong?"
Mr. Huo sighed: "This bowstring is not strong enough. If I pull it again, it will break!"
Li Yu understood immediately!
If you want to reach far, you must have a good bow!
He looked at the enemy camp and frowned: "It seems that the enemy has a good bow!"
Mr. Huo's face was hidden in the shadow of the hat. No one could see his face clearly, and no one knew what he was thinking.
At this time, Mr. Huo was recalling that on the Yangtze River, the man in white shot an arrow at him. The arrow seemed light and gentle, but it was earth-shattering and natural. He couldn't avoid it, but he was shot by him.
Pierce the left chest! In the end, he forced himself to dive into the bottom of the river and escape through the water!
The Sky-shaking Bow is truly powerful!
If you use the Sky-shattering Bow at this time, you will definitely be able to kill the archer!
Eunuch Li took the opportunity and said: "Your Majesty, please sit back, it's too dangerous!"
Heed the advice and eat enough!
Li Yu was not a fool, he immediately nodded in agreement, and the two young eunuchs quickly moved the dragon chair back a few feet!
Li Yu's face was ugly. The enemy couldn't see him from this position, but he couldn't see the enemy either!
He rolled his eyes at the two young eunuchs.
"By the way, Eunuch Li, let Li Dan and the others come up!"
Li Dan, Wang Jianguo, and Chi Zhi, these are the three newly appointed generals by Li Yu!
Many people secretly criticized Li Yu for not knowing common sense and actually changing his generals at the last moment. He is simply a fool!
In fact, only Li Yu himself knows that changing opponents before the battle is the best strategy for him!
The three replaced generals not only had their military power reduced, they were even secretly imprisoned by him!
Changing generals on the spot is indeed a taboo for military strategists!
If the soldiers don't know the generals, the generals won't know the soldiers! It's impossible to realize the unity of "commanding thousands of armies, like arms and fingers"!
But now that Li Yu is on the front line in person, all generals and generals have become redundant for Li Yu!
No matter who is the general, his military power is given by the emperor, or is temporarily loaned, and the emperor can take it back at any time!
All soldiers are the emperor's soldiers! If the emperor is present and the soldiers still only obey the general's words, this is actually not a good thing!
The general is so strict with his subordinates that the soldiers only know the general but not the emperor. It seems that the general is running the army well, but in fact he has violated the emperor's taboo!
For Li Yu, the ability of generals is not important. What is important is to be "obedient" and listen to yourself! Lack of ability can be cultivated!
What he needs is "loyalty first, ability second"!
The greater the ability of a disloyal person, the greater the destructive power!
Have both ability and political integrity, be reused for special purposes!
There is no talent but virtue, cultivate and use it!
Talented but not moral, supervise the use!
If you have no talent or virtue, you will definitely not use it!
For people who are talented but not moral, how can they have time to "supervise their use" now that the troops are swarming the country? Just don't use it!
Li Yu has this confidence that all the soldiers in the city are loyal to him! Especially after the three generals were "hidden" by him, even if some people had other ideas, they would never dare to have them now! Those who were once prepared to follow the generals
Soldiers who want to change dynasties have become much more honest now!
They have only one choice now, fight to the end!
Li Dan, Wang Jianguo, and Chi Zhi came up quickly! According to Li Yu, although their abilities are average, their loyalty can be learned from the sun and the moon!
"How are the preparations going?"
The three of them replied in unison: "Ready!"
Li Yu said: "Then you three go and get busy."
"Yes!" The response was thunderous!
When the three of them went down, there were already archers standing on top of the city! Someone had already lit a torch!
It was snowing heavily and the sky was vast. It was hard to see how many phalanxes there were under the city, but there were vaguely dozens of them! From the nearest few phalanxes, it could be seen that there were about a thousand people in each phalanx!
At this time, Ye Xuan rode a black horse and slowly walked behind a square formation. He waved his hand gently, and the dozens of square formations linked to it immediately started to move!
Suddenly I heard Qian Long say: "Master Ye, wait a minute, our infantry will go up first, and you will come up with a surprise force later!"
Ye Xuan looked at Qian Long and hesitated to speak!
He wanted to tell Qian Long that in addition to the army of zombies, there were also strange soldiers!
But then he thought, since he was a surprise soldier, he might as well hide it until the end!
Anyway, General Yi Zhi lets himself adapt to the situation! He will be outside, and you will not give him any orders!
General Yi Zhi said that the army of living corpses only helped Qian Long deal with the soldiers of the Southern Tang Dynasty, with the purpose of wiping out the living forces. As for the hard work of siege, let the Japanese pirates do it!
Ye Xuan waved his hand gently, and the army of zombies immediately stopped!
Qian Long was shocked!
How did Ye Xuan control the army of zombies? He especially wanted to know!
Because once you master this secret, you have mastered the power that can sweep the world and sweep through the universe!
On top of the city, Mr. Huo suddenly said: "I'll give it a try with the three-bow bed crossbow!" The power of the three-bow bed crossbow is naturally able to penetrate clouds and crack rocks, and is indestructible!
Li Yu's eyes flashed, and he actually stood up, walked a few steps forward, looked out from the crenellated wall, stared at the position of the flag of Wu Yue's army, and said: "Mr. Huo, it's up to you!"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Suddenly, dozens of fireballs shot out from the army below the city and hit the city of Changzhou!
Li Yu frowned, "Trebuchet?"
Thanks to Benbenlong, Yudong, and Insound 6 for their strong support!
