Exile opening: I won with the Universal Maker

Chapter 144 Strengthened Anti-Arrow Vehicle
"Qiang Lin, you traitor," Xiu Muye rode to the front of the battle, angrily pointed his whip at Qiang Lin on the city wall, "I knew you would betray."

Qiang Lin didn't answer. He picked up his bow and swished an arrow.

His right arm was injured, the bow could not be fully drawn, and the arrow just stuck obliquely on the ground in front of Shumuye.

But Xiu Muye was startled, turned his horse back, and shouted loudly: "Don't forget, your family is still in the north. Since you dare to betray us, your family will all be beheaded by the king."

When Shen Yuexi heard this, her heart couldn't help but hang up.

Xiu Muye is right, everyone has parents, Qiang Lin and the family members of these Xirong soldiers are all in the north, and this move will obviously kill them.

But thinking of the scene just now, Qiang Lin really had no way out.Xiu Muye didn't let them wear armor and take shields, he made it clear that he wanted them to die.Attacking is also death, not attacking is still dead, Xiu Muye has no plan to let these 5000 people live.If the ladder hadn't been put down here, the last 1000 people would have been killed or injured.

Qiang Lin said: "Look around you, they were all your clansmen once."

Xiu Muye didn't listen to Qiang Lin's words, looked around him, and shouted: "If you dare to betray the king, you will be allowed to live on your last breath. When the city is captured, I will personally chop off your head with a knife."

After shouting, without waiting for a response, he turned his horse and ran to the front of the formation, ordering: "Attack, attack!"

All the generals persuaded one after another: "Commander, although the opposite city wall is not high, we don't even have ladders here. Even if we attack the bottom of the city wall, we won't be able to climb up."

There is no ladder, even if you are under the city wall, there must be rocks waiting on the opposite side. I heard that this is how the commander of Danmuji was killed before.In addition, these Xirong troops just killed many of their own people with bows and arrows, and their fighting spirit was low.The Xirong generals didn't want to continue attacking anymore.

Xiu Muye froze in the air for a while holding his whip, his eyes swept over the generals, seeing that everyone was very depressed, so he put down his whip and said:

"What you said makes sense."

Just now the soldiers were forced to attack their own people, and everyone felt resentful.If the attack is forced again, in case the soldiers mutiny, it would be bad to kill him.

"Then let's go back to the camp first, and wait for the rear army of General Su Mo Nai to bring the anti-arrow vehicles."

He reckoned that the baffle of the anti-arrow vehicle was almost exactly at the height of the city wall, as long as two ladders were tied behind the baffle of the anti-arrow vehicle, this would not only protect the crossbow arrows, but also serve as a ladder for attacking the city.

Xiu Muye withdrew his troops and returned to the camp, and ordered the scout Pegasus to inform Su Mo Nai's rear army to speed up their advance, and at the same time installed siege ladders for the anti-arrow vehicles.

When Qiu Liming saw the Xirong army returning to camp, he arranged for soldiers to monitor the movement on the opposite side of the city wall.Let everyone also withdraw from the city and return to the camp on the mountain to repair.

After Qiang Lin bandaged his injured arm, he hurried to the handsome tent to find her, and said to her:
"Crown princess, Qianglin's failure to attack is not because he is afraid. He is waiting for General Su Mo Nai's rear army. The rear army has anti-arrow vehicles, which can withstand crossbow arrows."

"An arrow-proof vehicle?"

Shen Yuexi felt unlucky when she heard this name.But in her eyes, how Qiang Lin's family will be is more important.

"Qiang Lin, you swear allegiance to me, but what about your family?"

Qiang Lin was not panicked, and said to Shen Yuexi: "Prince Princess, you don't have to be distracted by your subordinates. Xiu Muye doesn't dare to do anything to our family members directly. He must report to our king, and our king will not only listen to his one-sided words. Now Defending the city is the most important thing."

Seeing that he understood in his heart, Shen Yuexi returned to the topic of the anti-arrow vehicle: "Then tell me about the anti-arrow vehicle."

After Qiang Lin explained to her that the wooden boards of the anti-arrow cart were thick and tall, and the crossbow arrows could not penetrate, Shen Yuexi suddenly lost her mind.

What she relied on was nothing more than city walls and continuous crossbows.If the enemy uses anti-arrow vehicles, the crossbow is useless.Besides, there were [-] troops on the opposite side at that time.

Or run away first?
This idea just flashed in her mind, and then she shook it out vigorously.She had already decided to protect Xiaogang Village for her husband Xiao Zhuo, how could she be easily shaken.

She turned her questioning gaze to Qiu Liming: "Does General Qiu have a good strategy?"

The three cobblers are like Zhuge Liang, they don't have any ideas, so they ask everyone for their opinions.

"Since the anti-arrow vehicle is made of wood, it must be afraid of fire," Qiu Liming suggested, "Mistress, remember the last time the opponent's Vanguard Thousands ambushed at the Wolf Fang Pass?"

"Remember," Shen Yuexi nodded repeatedly, "My husband asked everyone to provide a lot of oil for ignition."

"Now we can also prepare fire oil. The arrow-proof vehicle has a huge target, and the arrows are easy to hit, so we can prepare rockets in advance."

Shen Yuexi felt that this idea was good, and immediately went down the mountain and returned to Xiaogang Village to gather everyone and ask them to donate oil for the defense of the city.

Who knew that everyone was frowning this time.

Last time, the villagers actively supported and donated all the oil. Every family ate boiled vegetables, and there was no oil for use in the house.Shen Yuexi spent the whole afternoon collecting a small batch of oil tanks.Qiu Liming felt that it was not enough, so he sent soldiers to Dongji Town to purchase food and fuel urgently.

At night, the weather changed suddenly, the north wind roared, and thick dark clouds covered the sky.If you don't wear thick clothes outdoors, you can shiver from the cold.

The weather outside the Great Wall is erratic and changing so quickly, even though it was only a few degrees above zero before... Is this a cold air coming from the south?

A charcoal basin was set up in the handsome tent, and the tent shook violently in the cold wind.

Wrapped in a thick cloak, Shen Yuexi stretched out her hands to warm herself by the fire, and stamped her numb feet.I thought in my heart that if the weather was colder, it would be great to freeze the Xirong army in the north to withdraw.

This is just a fantasy, and the other side is not stupid, and he must know how to warm up.

In the middle of the night, the sergeant who had gone to Dongji Town came back with good news.

They happened to meet a group of oil dealers in Dongji Town, and immediately spent a lot of money to buy the other party's oil and brought them back.

Shen Yuexi heaved a sigh of relief after the urgent need was relieved.It seems that it is not impossible to copy Hushaokou of my husband Xiao Zhuo.

It's not the material of a famous general, but you can learn the tactics of a famous general.This is an essential skill for a researcher, who can improve himself by learning from others.

There is also good news.General Wei at the border gate learned that the Xirong army was about to attack, so he decided to lead his soldiers to practice how to carry grain and grass. Unexpectedly, the soldiers lost their way accidentally after leaving the customs for a long time, and threw a batch of grain and grass in front of Xiaogang Village.The villagers of Xiaogang Village found out and informed Shen Yuexi.

There was also a piece of paper in the car that said "Gift of the Gun."

Shen Yuexi was very moved.At the beginning, I adhered to the principle of courtesy and reciprocity, so I let Da Xiong make a gun, and I used materials from the border warehouse.I didn't expect General Wei to send charcoal in a timely manner at this time, he is really a good person.

All was going well until a scout on patrol to the north delivered bad news.

Su Mo Nai's rear army arrived here after a day's hasty march, and joined Su Mo Ye's army.

Qiu Liming said to her: "Mistress, don't be surprised. The weather was suddenly cold, and they were freezing badly on the road, so they just marched faster."

"Mistress, General, there is another piece of news," the scout added nervously, "The enemy army brought in a lot of anti-arrow vehicles, and added ladders on them to attack the city."

Shen Yuexi is not surprised, the enemy must prepare something like a ladder if they want to attack the city.They have also prepared oil to deal with the enemy.

"Also, they have wrapped iron sheets on the front of the anti-arrow vehicle..."

Qiu Liming jumped up when he heard this: "Why didn't you tell me such important information earlier!"
