Chapter 742 King Qi Takes the Jujube Pill

"I've looked at the pictures you found, and there seems to be no good way except fire attacks." Mr. Yan turned around and said, "But your uncle also said that we don't have much time. Instead of studying the method of restraint, we might as well Time and resources are spent on replicating those things to offset each other. "

Yan Yu imagined such a scene.

"Smash each other?"

A car-rushing trebuchet or something like that, the main thing is to hurt each other?

Yan Laoer choked, sometimes he really admired his daughter's thinking.

"No, it's a hedging in the literal sense. Oh, what your uncle means is that if they have it, we have it, but if they have it and we don't, then we will suffer. Well, we both have it. If we fight, we will not be short of others. Do you understand what I said?" Yan Laoer asked.

Yan Yu nodded, indicating that he understood.

Others may not understand her father's words, but who is she? She is very perceptive.

Yan Laoer expressed satisfaction with his daughter's understanding and continued: "As for the catapult, it is not possible to play it by just one person. If you want to point out where to hit, it takes a long time to practice. People in Xizhou have already had it. Get ready, we don’t have to rush to cultivate such talents right now. What can we do? Let’s make a few more and put them on the city mainly to intimidate. If the Xizhou soldiers come to attack the city again, we can just smash them. Smash more. It can always be smashed.”

"No, Dad, we also have catapults. They are not unique to Xizhou." Yan Yu objected.

Yan Laoer: "Yes. Is it the same as having an accurate head? I heard from the captured Xizhou soldiers that there are people in the Qi King's army who specialize in practicing this, and they also practice flint bullets."

"Cannonball?!" Yan Yu's eyes widened, couldn't he? ! ! !

"No, no, although there are a lot of explosive ores in Xizhou and the gunpowder is relatively skilled, it is still difficult to use it as a weapon. I didn't let them make a real killer weapon. They just heated the stone and put some iron in it. Tribulus and the like will bloom as soon as you throw them in, which can cause serious damage. "

Yan Yu:......

It is also very impressive in today's battlefield where cold weapons are the mainstay.

"Dad, it's very dangerous for King Qi to have this thing! The siege ladder has to be close to the city wall to be effective. The role of the ram is relatively simple. It is used to break open the city gate. But this catapult, if King Qi really trains it well, If you don't attack the slinger and think of various ways to increase its power, then it is another big threat besides the cavalry. "

Yan Yu frowned: "Resisting based on quantity alone is of no use."

Yan Laoer looked around warily.

As soon as Yan Yu saw his movement, he pulled him to an open space.

The two men squatted down skillfully.

The biggest secret of whispering is to find an open place, lower your level, and whisper in a low voice.

"Why do you want the craftsmen to follow the drawings and toss those from Xizhou back and forth to redeem people? It's all a cover-up! If we have something going on here in Guanzhou, the other side of Xizhou will know about it. Hey, tell me about this. Like a sieve, that King Qi is really insidious. The young man went to our place to spread maggots. The King of England and the Crown Prince were quite helpless. You don’t know, even private letters sent to the imperial army were discovered by spies from Xizhou. Use this matter to show us our strength. You still want to persuade our prince to surrender, how annoying!”

Yan Laoer was very angry.

"Is our prince rebelling against them? Well, if not, he will become a prince. If he rebels, the best result will still be a prince. It would be foolish to think that our prince is stupid!"

"It's so funny. Who came up with it?" Yan Yu deeply felt that the person who proposed this idea was very lacking in IQ.

"No matter who the bastard is, there is no sincerity on either side of this redemption negotiation." Yan Laoer said again: "When I went back to letter this matter, I originally wanted to have a flanking attack with the imperial army. Even if it couldn't be done, at least it could Cooperate, luckily your uncle is being cautious this time! There is nothing crucial in the letter at all, just a casual communication of feelings. Otherwise, it would be terrible if any information is leaked. Do you think we are not afraid of those catapults brought out by King Qi? Dad can't sleep every night and has nightmares. , I dreamed that the flaming stone banged on my head."

Yan Laoer unconsciously touched his head. It was good. His hair, which was slightly cooled by the whooshing breeze, was quite slippery.

"Your uncle said that we should seize the opportunity to fight, use that prince to paralyze them, capture the main force of Xizhou first, disarm them, and then capture their slingers alive and use them for our own purposes. This is called We are on par with Xizhou, so we can have a chance to go back and forth.”

Yan Yu thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "Actually, we have a way to deal with those catapults. As long as we know their whereabouts in advance and let Jiuxiao go over and destroy them, it's a very simple matter. But, this has been exposed, which is very inappropriate."

Yan Laoer was startled and said quickly: "No, no, Dabao, we can't do anything wrong.

"I know dad, just think about it and use Jiuxiao to deliver the letter. I will never take any other risks." Yan Yu solemnly promised.

"It scares me to death, Dabao. This battle should be fought as hard as we can. Don't fight beyond our capabilities. Think about your uncle. He takes one step and sees several steps. "He doesn't do anything else now. He thinks about Xizhou every day. What do you think will happen to King Qi?" Yan Laoer really felt that King Qi made his eldest brother miss him so much that he would be buried soon.

"Then he will be finished sooner or later!" Yan Yu laughed so hard that his eyes went blank.

Suddenly, I felt that the air had become fragrant!

"Uncle said he didn't say when the fight will take place? So what can we do? Will these five thousand recruits go to the battlefield? Has uncle arranged a separate mission for you?" Yan Yu asked a series of questions.

Yan Laoer:......

"What kind of person do you think your father is? It's already amazing that he can listen to so many things. When your uncle and his men were conspiring, no, discussing matters, they had very tight defense. If your father wasn't your uncle's younger brother and the only disciple of your master, he couldn't even get close to him."

Yan Lao Er still answered according to his own judgment: "Our 5,000 new soldiers are considered as reserves. The King of England and your master asked me to come back and train the soldiers well. But your uncle Xue seems to have been reused and is integrating the three frontier armies with the prince. That guy was so excited that he was trembling all over!"

Yan Yu wanted to laugh when she heard the adjective about her father, but Captain Xue did have real military merits. Although his official position was up and down, his own ability was solid, unlike her father...

She looked at her father's face carefully. It seemed that her father had no idea that he was arranged to train in the rear?

"Oh, by the way, Dad, where are my craftsmen? Where are my large group of various craftsmen?" Yan Yu thought of the people she had been looking forward to coming these days.

Rural construction needs them!

"Well, Dabao, those people, maybe you have to wait a while." Yan Laoer lowered his head and drew circles on the ground with his fingers.

Yan Yu thought it was not good at first glance.

"Dad, where are the people? Where are my people now?"

"What do you mean your people? Your name is not written on it, but... your uncle took some away, and your master took some away. Dabao, really, it's all serious business. Your uncle picked a few people to go back and seduce more people from Xizhou. Your master wants to repair the city defense and expand the workshop to make weapons and so on. Really, it's all serious business." (End of this chapter)
