The empress is also very hot today

Chapter 76 Crossbow Arrow
Since it is an unavoidable fact that the prairie people are coming, apart from watching what happens, Ran Tong needs to arm the front and back of the manor. This kind of arming is not just about the casting of the city walls and towers. A concrete stone wall that can withstand trebuchets, but a huge manor cannot be beaten all the time.

While Ran Tong was preparing to protect himself, he took the initiative to attack!

As for the things that people were ordered to search for, Ran Tong was going to do something...

"Crossbow arrows?"

In the early morning of the second day, the lord's mansion in the center of the manor was still under construction in an orderly manner. Ran Tong looked at the foundations that had been laid, and at the same time saw all kinds of brothers starting to build houses and walls, although their faces were full of worries.

Looking at Ran Tong standing above the tower, Zhang Peng asked in disbelief.

"My lord, are you... are you planning to really fight the prairie people?"

The items that Ran Tong ordered his brothers to search for were actually for making bows and crossbows.

Ran Tong nodded: "Well, if the prairie people really attack and see that they can't break through the city wall, they will definitely break down the door by force. At that time, the brothers will stand on the tower, holding crossbow arrows..."

Zhang Peng obviously had some mood swings. He thought about it, and then asked, "But how do we go to war with an empire? As long as we shoot down a crossbow arrow, that... means we're ready to fight."

Ran Tong looked up at the direction of the grassland in the distance, she suddenly smiled, and turned to look at the military adviser.

"Second brother."

Ran Tong hadn't called Zhang Peng his second brother for a long time, and Zhang Peng couldn't bear it when he said that second brother came down.

"Second brother thinks that after the prairie people come over, our manor can only be beaten passively?"

As a military strategist, Zhang Peng has a keen insight that even Ran Tong appreciates. How could he not know the truth? Hearing Ran Tong's questioning, he opened his mouth to say something, but he couldn't say it.

Ran Tong went on to say: "How long does the second brother think my city tower can be a prairie man? One day? A week, or a month? In their eyes, our manor may be just a piece of fish on the board, but it also belongs to the territory of the Central Plains. We are on the road they are going south... When their catapults hit the city wall day and night, and the wall is broken, the second brother thinks that the prairie people who rushed in will treat me lightly because I am a so-called oracle? "

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Peng was dumbfounded.

Yes, the manor is such a big place, if you live inside, you may feel that the manor is huge and complete.But not to mention an empire, as far as a city is concerned, such a large place is nothing more than a grand government office.

The Prince Liang Mansion of King Qi Tianzhe in Chengjing is bigger than this manor.

In this way, if the prairie people really intend to capture this place, how long can the eight-meter-high tower be able to withstand.

So they have only one choice.

"Fight, and beat hard. Abu Aqin said that the grassland people are fierce, and they usually obey the strong and bully the weak. If they come to attack, we must show them that we are not easy to provoke!"

When Ran Tong said these words, he was full of energy, and a gust of wind blew by, and the image of this girl at this moment rose from the ground in Zhang Peng's heart, towering into the clouds!
"If the city gate can't last and is broken, we also want the brothers to carve some tooth marks on the body of the comer!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Peng didn't have the slightest doubt. At this moment, Ran Tong looked like a strategizing general... Oh no, at this moment, Zhang Peng already regarded Ran Tong as another more noble existence in his heart.

like...

like...

"Second brother?"

Ran Tong patted Zhang Peng, who was a little distracted, and the latter nodded in response: "I'm here, I'm here."

Ran Tong thought of something: "Second brother, I have a task for you."

Zhang Peng clasped his fists together immediately: "My lord, please speak!"

Ran Tong: "It will take time for the grassland people to call. In the past few days, I want to invite my second brother to go south."

"Going south?" Zhang Peng turned his head and glanced at the south, where was Chengjing where Ran Tong had gone. "The lord wants me to go to Chengjing?"

"No, to be precise, it is the second city of Bianzhou in Youzhou. If it is true as Master Meng said, the people in these two prefectures should be living in dire straits. I want my second brother to bring some food and go to these two cities to exchange for...money .”

Zhang Peng was taken aback for a moment, the war was about to start, and when food was scarce, Ran Tong asked him to exchange food for money...

In Zhang Peng's eyes, money, that is, silver, should be the most useless thing.

But he couldn't imagine what Ran Tong was thinking at all, he hesitated for a while, and then nodded: "When shall I leave?"

"Now."
