Chapter 442 The Art of War (Part 2)
This plain is facing the Yellow River. The water is mixed with the residual heat from the ground. The dryness and heat in the air fade away. The cold mountain breeze blows from the mountains to the south, which is refreshing and pleasant.
The top of the mountain was still the big rock that I watched last night. Qianqian sat beside Ye Qing, concentrating on detecting the changes in the city, and choosing some useful ones to talk to her husband.
Her eyes were clear and Huili, and she had her own understanding. She analyzed: "They continued bombing and no longer had the extra power to maintain the shield, which means that the mana loss is very serious."
This is exactly what he expected... Ye Qing smiled and said briefly: "Okay."
"Husband, what's the mystery here? Why don't you tell me?"
"The way of military strategy is nothing more than using force to destroy sharpness or using sharpness to destroy strength. It cares about one's own heart - actually I have already said it."
"If I had to say it again, I can only say that there was a man named Li Shimin. Some people commented on him that this was the most capable emperor since ancient times."
"This person is the best person to defeat his strength."
"Li Shimin, who is this?" Qianqian was confused, but there were hundreds of dynasties on the earth and thousands of emperors. It was normal that she couldn't remember it for a moment. She stopped thinking about it, but she kept it in her heart and prepared to return to the ground and read it.
After a moment, Guo Jia came up and reported a summary of the statistics: "...All two hundred enemy stone throwers were destroyed, but except for five hundred of our 1,200 stone throwers were destroyed during the shooting, and there were still one hundred and fifty complete ones, most of the other arms and pivots were seriously worn and difficult to use, and all standard stone bombs had been cast. Will they be withdrawn together?"
"Retract, the bad stone thrower is asked to be dismantled on the spot, bringing the core metal parts back... There is no need to reorganize, they will no longer be used in the future." Ye Qing thought about it and spoke again: "Although it is not necessary, there are still 150 left. Continue to attack, be sure to keep these words - continuous."
"Also, I've been here tonight, but I can serve some side dishes. Thank you for your hard night fight, so let's light them up."
Qianqian immediately transmitted the voice to the front line, and the huge army formation was busy in the torch light. The assembly line production standard was standard. Basically, one or two people in each team of ten people who were involved in the assembly, and the order of disassembly was clear, and everything seemed in order.
On the city of Guan, Hu Zhen took a few generals to look at him while inspecting, all of whom were silent.
Facing such an army alone, no one knows how long it will last... Fortunately, there is still ten days left and there is still a chance.
"Set the lights--" Suddenly, the Qing and female voices spread throughout the audience again.
What was that... Hu Zhen's eyes widened.
Thousands of bright red lanterns lit up, rising from a military formation in the southeast, advancing along the southeast wind in mid-air, and the bright red light further reflected the city...
Ye Qing looked from afar, his eyes slightly converged. Zhuge Liang was only a ten-year-old boy inventing this thing in history. Of course, this season is not called Kongming lantern, but only the Heavenly Lantern.
"shoot--"
Arrows were falling like rain, and they continued to suppress Guancheng in the night attack. Five hundred thousand coalition forces were rotated into battle. The fourth round had already arrived at the Jiangdong Army.
Yu Fan had some predictions when supervising the arrow tower. At this time, it was impossible to say that he would not even shoot arrows, so he could only secretly order the water to release...
It is hard to say how much it takes to take effect. The large-scale coverage of the arrow array does not depend on the accuracy of a single arrow. It can only be said that it is useful, and it can be used as much as it can be released - it can be pushed to the darkness of the night, isn't it good to be accurate?
Until I saw millions of lights floating in the night sky against the wind, my face looked ugly: "Go and check what's going on with this light?"
The head of the sect leader observed and quickly responded: "It is a paper lantern flying through the expansion of heat... Well, there is a sign on the paper, which seems to be produced by Mijia Paper Floor, with military paper marked on it, keeping it dry?"
"Damn it, damn..." Although Yu Fan didn't know how the paper lantern was effective, when he saw this, an ominous person appeared in his heart, as if he saw Ye Qing's sneering expression - this guy must have calculated all the factors.
Combined with the two years of papermaking in Yuzhou, it is not clear that this is preparing for Shangluo in all aspects... Maybe even the Empress Dowager has been booked long ago
This thought was so heartbroken that I had to prepare for it.
"Check it out, what's going on with this paper lantern?" Yu Fan roared angrily, at a loss. Ye Qing's endless means are really terrifying and terrifying.
Hulao Pass
"Go and check the flying lights." Hu Zhentong roared on the city of Guan: "Go quickly."
Many plans of the coalition forces have been discussed in a targeted manner, including the intention of deciding to consume the energy of the guard guards with their physical strength, which is not difficult to predict, with the support of spells and a large number of night war materials.
During the day, the stone-throwing machine gave the Xiliang army a surprise. Now at night, I found that the stone-throwing machine was gradually declining. I thought I could breathe a little, but I found that the "surprise" was coming again.
At this time, the Xiliang Army also took off the revolver to the field, but found that the attack on the city was at a disadvantage... The brighter the light on the city, the more obvious the target itself, and the darker the light and darker it was impossible to see outside the city, so the accurate head was greatly reduced.
But...how do these lights fly?
"The secret report came from the opposite side - this is the newly made sky lantern by Liu Bei."
Hu Zhen covered his forehead with his hand, stared at the red lights all over the sky for a while, then moved his eyes to several nearby walls, and sighed: "Go and invite some real people from Taiping Road to come..."
"This..." The two Taoist priests who followed the protection and emergency contact hesitated.
Originally, the mana of Guancheng Formation would have an advantage, but this was completely offset by cluster attacks such as Yehuoth, oil tanks, stone bombs, etc., which made Taoists of Taiping Road have to go to the battlefield in advance. Later, they received secret reports and reinforced the city walls again to prevent water attacks. The mana was consumed greatly throughout the day, but the magic power of the coalition forces was consumed very little, and Liu Bei's direct lineage did not play at all.
At this time, he looked at each other and couldn't help but shook his head: "The imbalance in mana reserves is already very dangerous. How can we give up the recovery time to consume it? If this continues, the situation will worsen..."
"I know you need to rest and restore your mana, but please be sure to send a small part to drive away these sky lanterns, otherwise the arrow formation will be suppressed and dispersed, and Liu Bei will dare to directly suppress the ant support to attack the city."
Hu Zhen pointed to ladders standing in the darkness in the distance: "He is ready for everything, do you understand? This possibility must be blocked at this time."
A moment later, a strong wind blew, and finally blew millions of sky lanterns into the city. As soon as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, another wind blew the lights back, and another wave of arrow rain made no one in the city dare to emerge, and crossbowmen hid in the arrow tower...
The envoy who rushed over was in a hurry and his heart sank. The worst mana consumption situation began. The enemy's core intention was finally revealed - exhausting the magic power of the defenders' magician group, and then carrying out a surprise attack.
"Isn't Yu Fan the one who attacks now?" Sun Zhenren lowered his voice: "Can you..."
"It's useless, it's just a gust of wind. If this is not possible, the princes will question it. Ye Qing will take the opportunity to turn against him."
The envoy shook his head and glanced at Yu Fan with a pale face in front of the formation in the distance: "Although these people on the ground have their own plot to stab, they also pay attention to the timing of stabbing, and will not be so stupid as to get the chestnuts for us."
On the far hill, Ye Qing stretched out his hand to caress Qianqian's soft waist, and looked at the group of lamps, arrows, and concluded: "...Whatever stabbing is, when we have strength, we can't put it on the table, unless the Governor, Yu Fan has decided to take a risk... Well, or when you are alone, you dare to take risks, but with the Governor, haha... There is no good thing for many people, everyone is afraid of fighting between snipes and clams, and the fisherman will benefit."
Qianqian pursed her lips and smiled slightly, looked back at her husband, her eyes full of water: "You are not afraid."
"I'm afraid too... I'm just focusing on my own things." Ye Qing smiled and kissed her cheek.
"Stop making trouble, this is outside..." Qianqian's face turned red. She was not suppressed by her temperament, but she couldn't help feeling shy in front of others.
She was about to ask which solution to choose next, but suddenly she looked back.
On the quiet mountain road, a middle-aged man with serious appearance came up with Xun You. A team of Bai Er soldiers on duty came forward to ask, stared at the stranger, and looked back and asked his lord for instructions.
The middle-aged man was a little hesitant, and saw Ye Qing intimate with his wife in public, so he frowned and turned around and left: "What kind of decent thing is this? It's not the appearance of a ruler."
Xun You was unrestrained and pulled him back, laughing: "Lord, I am reminiscing with Tian Yuanhao, and I am talking about something and can't fight. Please ask your lord to judge."
Tian Yuanhao...Tian Feng, this guy has been under house arrest. Wouldn't he rather die than surrender?
Ye Qing laughed, judging was a pretext. The Xun family had a connection with some aristocratic families in Hebei, so Xun You could be considered a deliberate recommendation.
Tian Feng, whose courtesy name is Yuanhao, was from Julu.
Tian Feng was smart and intelligent since he was young. He was bereavement when he was young. Although the time for mourning was over, he did not show his teeth, so he was valued by his neighbors. Moreover, Tian Feng was knowledgeable and talented, and was very famous in Jizhou. He was initially recruited by the Taiwei Mansion and recommended as Maocai. Later, he was elected as the Censor. Because he hated the eunuchs and the wise ministers were killed, he abandoned his official position and returned home.
Soon, he became a subordinate of Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou, and was unsuccessful because of his integrity. Yuan Shao heard that Tian Feng was famous and brought valuable gifts. He humbly recruited Tian Feng and appointed him as a different leader. He trusted and valued him very much.
But he was still upright and had made many suggestions to Yuan Shao but refused to be adopted. Xun once commented that he was "strong and offended the superiors" and was disliked by Yuan Shao. He was ordered to imprison him for admonishing Yuan Shao for his advice to block Yuan Shao from conquering Cao Cao. After the Battle of Guandu, Tian Feng was killed by Yuan Shao.
At this time, he saw that this man was a little yellow, but he was standing upright and had a straight personality. Such ministers often found it difficult to end up in a good life. Ye Qing thought this way and said with a smile: "Since Yuan Hao is here, what can I teach me?"
Tian Feng was unhappy and stared at Ye Qing with his neck straight, and suddenly said, "The death period of the man is coming."
As soon as these words were finished, Xun couldn't help but change his color slightly.
Ye Qing lit him and said to Xun: "Look at this person, being upright is a good thing, but he will be offended when he opens his mouth. I heard that Yuan Shao is not happy, but there is a reason for this."
Xun said, "Yes, even if you want to your father, you can't speak like this, let alone the lord, but he has such courage."
Ye Qing smiled and said, "Extremely yes, very yes."
He turned around and said to Tian Feng again: "Yuan Hao, let me tell you the truth, and be ready to listen."
