"What the general said is ridiculous!"

Just when the generals were shocked, Qian Tang, the general guard of Pingyuan County, suddenly dismounted his horse and stepped forward. He first offered his hands and then raised his voice to fight with good reason. "The deposed dragon thief was indeed well prepared, and the news must have been leaked in the military tent last night, but how can we be sure that there was a traitor among them at that time? When they dispersed last night, did the general have military orders to keep it secret? If not, After returning home, dozens of military generals inadvertently passed the news down below, and it became known to spies somewhere. Isn't it normal?"

Xue Changxiong was startled, and then stared at the person who suddenly appeared in front of him. In fact, this was one of the two most suspicious people last night... This Qian Tang was an old friend of Zhang Xing, and was an old subordinate of Bai Sanniang. , the person promoted by the Bai family; the other one was Cao Shancheng who took the initiative to ask.

Seeing Xue Changxiong's solemn expression and Qian Tang's unruly attitude, brothers Xue Wanbi and Xue Wanquan each grabbed their swords and faced each other with their swords, but Qian Tang took a step forward with his head held high.

But such behavior reminded Xue Changxiong. The general seemed to have thought of something, and waved his hand to stop his sons: "What Mr. Qian Fu said is absolutely true. It was me who didn't think well. Mr. Cao Fu said yesterday When I asked about this matter, the person in the tent was either a general or a prefect, a Sima or a long history officer. If there are people here who have become spies, then it is me, Xue Changxiong, who has no virtue! Let this matter end... Now you tell me, what should I use? What’s the plan to continue attacking the stronghold?”

Everyone was relieved.

At this time, we walked a few more steps down the slope together, away from the place where the arrows missed the encounter.

"With all due respect, my subordinates, this method of the traitor army is well-founded." At this time, Zhonglang forced Zhang Shirang to come out, but he told him an unexpected statement. "When I was in Nanpo in the past, I heard my clan uncle say... When Bai Gong killed Emperor Shenwu of the Eastern Qi Dynasty in a small town in Jin, he seemed to have used this method to deal with Emperor Shenwu Tushan."

Xue Changxiong was startled again: "So, that guy Zhang Xing has obtained the true biography of Bai's art of war?"

"I'm afraid so." Zhang Shirang answered respectfully.

Many of the generals around him looked surprised, as if this gave them great comfort.

But Xue Changxiong thought for a while and continued: "I know what you mean, but in this situation, we must not admit defeat. Besides, I saw that city with my own eyes back then. It was backed by the Fen River and stood on the loess. On top of the hill, the flat ground was two feet high, and there were two hills inside. They rode iron ropes through the air, and until the end of the fight, everyone said that Bai Gong was vaguely echoing the sky and the earth, using the city as a tower, and almost the people, city and army were one. . Now this piece cannot achieve the level of elixir cultivation. At most, it can reflect the vitality of heaven and earth on the objects of visualization, and it can only set up some plain fence camps. How can it compare to the battle with Duke Bai that day?"

Everyone nodded. Although General Xue's words meant that he would not lose in battle, it was also the truth. That battle that year completely reversed the balance of power between Guanlong and Hebei, and almost set the tone for Guanlong to annex the world in the following decades. How can it be compared now?

Of course, the words can always come back. Even if Zhang Xing is far from comparable to the ancestor of the Bai family, can Xue Changxiong be compared to Emperor Shenwu of Eastern Qi? This battle always has a bit of the shadow of that battle. Just like after that battle, the Eastern Qi Dynasty was no longer able to drive the Guanlong forces away from Jin. After this battle, the Hejian camp was still able to prevent the deposed dragon thieves from cutting off Hebei. Land demarcation?

Sure enough, Xue Changxiong continued: "Even if he is not better than those, just say that he has mastered the true inheritance of Bai's art of war, so what? He always has insufficient material preparations, expensive fortification technology, difficulty maintaining composure, and even time. ...So, let’s not worry about that, just talk about what method should be used at this time!”

At the end, it seemed decisive.

"Since the wood is stacked, it can be set on fire!" The general immediately turned it over and handed it over.

"The wooden houses made from the blocks are limited, and they are not as strong as the earth mountains. They can be stacked arbitrarily. Why not repeat the old trick and let the soldiers continue to raise the earth mountains to shoot at the rebel army without wooden houses in the rear?!" Another general offered advice.

Xue Changxiong nodded repeatedly.

At this time, Cao Shancheng hesitated for a moment, and then came out: "General, while you are working hard on the earth fortifications and fortifications here, why not send me to the west to receive the reinforcements as mentioned before, and then detour around Douzigang?" A pincer attack? There is a report today that some reinforcements have entered Qinghe. If they are organized properly, they will definitely be able to gather them within ten days and launch a pincer attack from behind to force the dragon thief to divide tens of thousands of troops."

"The bandit army is all gathered between the walls. There are twenty-five battalions of soldiers, hundreds of thousands of auxiliary soldiers, craftsmen, and civilians. What's the use of dividing the troops? If they lose, it will greatly dampen their morale." Xue Changxiong shook his head. . "Forget it, let's focus on the present... Following the order, all the auxiliary soldiers and civilians in the army will continue to pile up the mountains with earth, and take turns to raise the earth mountains, and then let the soldiers try to attack the wooden house with rockets."

Cao Shancheng quietly retreated, and another general came forward and suggested:

"The fire of the rocket is small, not enough to ignite the wooden tablets... I think we should gather kerosene, sulfur, firewood, and straw to make serious igniting torches, and then tie them to wooden sticks with branches, and let the soldiers charge in armor. Approach and throw it on the wooden house, hang it on it and burn it.”

"That's right, go get ready and don't delay the Rockets." Xue Changxiong agreed without hesitation. "You can try any method, but you have to be quick, urgent, and leave no gaps."

At the same time, Zhang Xing naturally didn't know that the method he and a group of cobblers in the army came up with actually overlapped with the battle experience of Bai Yousijia, the famous ancestral general... It didn't hurt to know, because according to his usual mentality, he would only feel that , this targeted method itself belongs to the normal routine of soldiers coming to cover up the water and the earth. The more common it is, the more correct it is; the simpler it is, the more effective it is.

It is not the ingenuity of a famous general, but the person who boldly and calmly uses the simplest method to become a famous general.

However, fortunately Zhang Xing didn't know and then thought of this, otherwise he would have secretly promised that he was a famous general.

Therefore, at this time, Zhang Dalongtou was just continuing to discuss countermeasures with many people with the mentality of a primary school student and a cobbler.

"Beware of fire!" Xiao Zhou reminded seriously. "There are too many wooden things, so you have to pay attention to fire prevention... The multi-story wooden houses now piled up are different from fences. Once they burn, they will continue to burn, and the officers and soldiers are likely to set fire."

"How to prevent it?" Zhang Xing asked sincerely.

"Wrap it in felt cloth... pour water on it." Xiao Zhou blurted out.

"Lake mud is also fine." Fan Bao immediately added. "The workshop of Zhangqiu Iron Pot is filled with lake mud to prevent fire."

"It's just that mud can't stick to it." Dou Lide followed immediately. "You need to add wheat straw or water plants... stir it up and it will be easy to float on the lake."

"Look for felt cloth." Zhang Xing ordered without hesitation. "Just in case, first soak a felt cloth in water and hang it up, then bring wheat straw over there to mix with mud, and apply it on the spot. Then everyone will keep fetching water and sending it over..."

"There is a tributary of the Maface River called Qingyanggou. Isn't it on our side?" Hao Yide also reminded. "Just dig trenches and divert the water... I'm afraid there will be a lot of water in the future."

"Then dig a ditch!" Zhang Dalongtou still did not hesitate. “Dig wells everywhere at the same time.”

At this point, the words are somewhat decisive.

In the afternoon, the sun had just set, and arrows were flying across the sky. The officers and soldiers had just fired a few rounds of rockets wrapped in oilcloth, and they were shocked to find that the deposed dragon army on the opposite side had begun to hang up water-soaked felt cloths in a targeted manner. .

After more than half an hour, when the sun reached due southwest, the wooden house began to flood before the torch team arrived.

The officers and soldiers gritted their teeth and persisted. They rushed forward risking their lives and threw the torches wrapped with igniting objects and with hooks on the wooden house, but they could only bake the mud. As soon as the mud dried, the torch fell off on the spot.

The generals in Hejian stood on the earth mountain, each silent... You must know that the last large-scale fortification confrontation was during the conquest of Dongyi. Not many people present saw it with their own eyes, and Chen Bin directly recalled that year The battle situation when the Chen Dynasty fell was simply a matter of hope... Who would have thought that the local counter-insurgency in Hebei, although the total number of troops and civilians on both sides was staggering, was only to deal with the joint camp, but it would lead to such a battle?

Every day we talk about the coming of troops to cover up the water and the earth. We just talked about Emperor Shenwu and General Bai. But in fact, when a fight actually breaks out, one side usually occupies or temporarily has an absolute advantage and resolves the battle quickly. This kind of war only lasts three days, and the results come and go. They even predicted that there might be spies, including the demonstration of the Zhenqi army at the beginning of the war, which was really unexpected.

After calming down and thinking for a moment, I felt that this was the real battle, a battle to determine the ownership of several counties in one battle.

For a moment, everyone became a little panicked.

"General."

Just when Xue Changxiong looked bad again, Murong Zhengyan came to report another bad news. "Many soldiers abandoned their bags and baskets after throwing soil in the morning, and the military order to temporarily fill in the soil conflicted with yesterday's military order. Many soldiers thought that yesterday's military order was not implemented, so the filling of the soil was slow..."

"Then you have to fill it in," Xue Changxiong replied without hesitation. "Padding the mountains of earth... How many floors can his wooden house be stacked without collapsing? Or can the entire camp be sealed with wooden houses and mud?"

There was already some anxiety in his words.

"This is natural." Murong Zhengyan agreed, but did not leave directly, but tried to persuade him in a roundabout way. "But if this is the case, it is unlikely that we will have any advantage today by raising the earth mountain. On the contrary, will the rebel army notice that we are raising the earth mountain? And then come up with countermeasures in the evening?"

Xue Changxiong was stunned for a moment, then asked seriously: "What does General Murong mean?"

"Forget it for today, let the auxiliary soldiers take a rest. When they have rested tomorrow, we can concentrate on building a mountain of soil again." Murong Zhengyan persuaded sincerely.

Xue Changxiong frowned.

It should be known that Murong Zhengyan not only came from a famous family, but was also one of the three masters of alchemy in this trip. He was considered a backbone of the Hejian camp, so his advice should be taken seriously.

Besides, what the other party said makes sense.

However, after hesitating for a while, General Xue still rejected the other party: General Murong is right, but don’t forget that our time is limited... So the current situation is not a time to act within our capabilities, and we must use all methods, every little bit. There is no need to leave any room for free time. There is no need to leave any room for so-called manpower and material resources. "

Murong Zhengyan seemed to want to say something more after hearing this, but after thinking about it, he gave it up.

In this way, the battle continued, but until the evening, there was not much progress. In the middle, Xue Changxiong specially sent a Zhonglang general who had not been in the battle yesterday to lead his troops to attack and contain the battle from the flank, and used Luo Shu to lead the cavalry to suppress the battle. No obvious effect. This is because after the battle yesterday, the Deposed Dragon Army knew that its troops and horses had limited combat capabilities, and had prepared troops and horses led by leader Cheng Dan to provide support and carry out targeted flexible defense.

However, before sunset, the attacking officers and soldiers had no choice but to withdraw their troops, but tens of thousands of troops were left behind. They only set up simple tents high up on the mountains.

On the third day of the battle, the two sides ended the battle with fortification confrontation.

However, this does not mean that the battle is not fierce, nor does it mean that there is a lack of casualties... In today's battle, both sides still had a reduction of more than a thousand people, and if we look closely, the reduction of the official army was smaller, but because there was no Yesterday afternoon, there was a scene where the Qianlong Army camp fell for a time, and then some of Xue Wanbi's troops were surrounded and either died or surrendered. The majority of the casualties on both sides were still wounded.

Of course, the most critical thing is that the official army did not achieve a breakthrough, nor did they find an effective way to break through the stronghold and advance, while the deposed dragon army held the line.

Back at the camp, both sides naturally gathered their officers for military discussions to discuss attack and defense methods.

Let's not talk about the deposed dragon army for now, just talk about the officers and soldiers. They were surrounded by generals and discussed for a while. Most of them were prepared to wait for the military order to be reiterated. Most of them will raise the earth mountain in a large scale tomorrow... that is, most of them did not make any initiative.

After all, everyone is afraid of taking the responsibility for things not going right.

But there are exceptions.

"General Murong has something to say?" Xue Changxiong glanced around and immediately noticed that one of the people in front hesitated for a moment and immediately shouted.

"It's like this. The general thinks that since he has started building mountains of earth and erecting houses, to the point where water and fire are intertwined, it's time to let go." Murong Zhengyan solemnly ordered and handed over his hand. "But I'm worried about things."

"It's okay." Xue Changxiong was slightly refreshed and comforted slightly. "In the daytime, it's not that your strategy is wrong, it's just that as a coach, you have to make choices... If the general has any concerns, Xue will only be grateful."

"The general's meaning is actually very simple...that's why we only attack the stronghold and not the heart?" Murong Zhengyan felt relieved before answering.

Below Xue Changxiong, all the generals in the camp were stunned.

"Since the beginning of the war, when everyone was discussing the military situation, the general has been thinking about this. Today, after learning that there seems to be a spy in the army, he is even more confused... Why are the thieves not afraid of spies? We also have a large army to suppress the border, and they are alone in carrying a large river. Defending to death, logically speaking, should make them panic more easily, but why don't they waver? Is it not that we were too harsh on the rebels in the past two years and killed them so cruelly that they were afraid?" Murong Zhengyan asked seriously. "Is the current situation still so harsh?"

Xue Changxiong nodded slowly, and everyone in the army understood what Murong Zhengyan meant.

"The thieves cannot be trusted." Cao Shancheng said slightly helplessly. "Don't forget about Mr. Zhang."

"That's true." Xue Wanbi unexpectedly stood on the same side as Cao Shancheng.

"It's not just thieves who can't be trusted." Luo Shu also smiled. "What's more important is that the thieves may not believe you if you surrender on the spot."

"It's not really about recruiting a large number of traitors to surrender, nor is it hoping that a large group of traitors will sincerely surrender, but it's about using a pre-battle method to shake their military morale and seduce a few unsteady traitors in order to obtain information." Murong The truth is spoken with sincerity. "Of course, if someone really comes to surrender, why don't we protect him while giving him real treatment and setting an example so that the bandit army can collapse?"

"What General Murong said is right." Xue Changxiong nodded immediately after hearing this. "It's just a strategy before the battle. We should try everything... How to operate it specifically? As General Luo said, even if it is just before the battle, the thieves may not believe us."

"Let's pretend that someone has taken refuge with us first." Murong Zhengyan blurted out. "Tomorrow I'll go to Tushan Mountain and give him a position of gold, silver, silk, and silk. I'll make a show of it. At the same time, I'll imitate Zhang San across from him by writing leaflets and shouting... to lure the thieves to surrender."

"Okay." Xue Changxiong nodded immediately.

Then he paused and suddenly came to see his confidant Chen Bin: "Chen Sima, please remember General Murong's meritorious service and reward him with ten pieces of brocade!"

Everyone's spirits were lifted.

No matter what, General Xue's gesture was always good, and many people praised him for a while.

Seeing this situation, Qian Tang hesitated for a moment and then simply said: "I have a plan."

Xue Changxiong was slightly surprised, but he also raised his hand and sincerely asked for advice: "Qian Fujun, please speak."

The rest of the people also listened with bated breath.

"Actually, from our point of view, the root cause of the stalemate in this battle is not only the excessive killings in the previous two years, but also another thing, which is that the Hejian army has always looted excessively... so much so that the soldiers, auxiliary soldiers, and All the people have resentments." Qian Tang said seriously. "Please make a proclamation from the general, admitting the crimes of the Hejian Camp, and punishing several Xue family members as a gesture, and then declare that if this battle is won, the entire Hebei province will be exempted from military supplies next year, and military supplies will only be obtained from Ji County. Promise not to disturb the people again... In this way, the people's hearts will return, and Zhang Xing's previous publicity will naturally be ineffective, and this battle can be won!"

After saying this, there was a moment of silence in the military tent.

Many people didn't realize what was going on... and those who did didn't know what to say? Call this person pedantic, does he seem to have some truth? You might say this person is being sarcastic, but he seems to be somewhat upright? But it is even more nonsense to say that this person’s words are appropriate and not mixed with resentment and emotion!

Xue Wanbi and others wanted to criticize them for "punishing the Xue family's children", but they seemed to feel that the atmosphere was not right.

Xue Changxiong was stunned for a long time, and then slowly said: "Is Mr. Qian Fu serious?"

"Does General Xue think I'm here to be sarcastic?" Qian Tang raised his hand in response. "This is what I have wanted to say for a long time! What I have wanted to say since I took office! And it is not just me, but what many people want to say. It is only today that I have the honor to see General Xue and encourage me to say it. General , it’s never too late to clean up people’s hearts.”

Xue Changxiong had no expression on his face. He didn't know what he was thinking in his heart. He was silent for a long time before speaking: "What Mr. Qian Fu said makes sense, but doing so before the battle will actually frustrate oneself and shake the morale of the army. Let's talk about it after the war." .”

Cao Shancheng immediately came to persuade Qian Tang: "Master Qian Fu, as the general said, we will talk about it after the war."

Qian Tang nodded and didn't care. He just handed over and returned to the queue.

The next moment, Xue Changxiong suddenly turned around and asked: "Chen Sima, that Zhou Prefect of Bohai, why hasn't he arrived yet? Does he regard my military orders as nothing?"

Chen Bin quickly bowed his head: "I will write a letter to urge you."

Then he turned around and left in a hurry.

The people around him reacted, but they didn't look at Chen Bin. Instead, they only looked at Qian Tang. As for Qian Mansion Lord, he just stood there with his head held high and his chest upright, and everyone could only remain silent.

At the same time, the Deposed Dragon Gang was also having a military meeting, but there was no priority here. Instead, a group of people sat around, surrounded by a group of young officers and clerks who helped summarize and analyze information.

At this time, Wang Shuyong, who came back from the front line, reported the situation as a matter of course: "The officers and soldiers are still raising the mountain, and we cannot sit idly by."

"We will also raise the height of the wooden house." Shan Tonghai blurted out.

"No, it's not that simple." Zhou Xingfan explained immediately. "I have no experience in making this type of building, but there is a statement about siege towers in military books. According to the above, if the siege tower is half as high, the entire tower must be three times as wide and the wood used must be replaced with the best wood. The house is similar without having to think about it.”

"I'm just afraid of collapse." Shan Tonghai immediately woke up.

"Actually, those three-story houses on the front line today are obviously not strong." Wang Wulang quickly added. "It stands against fences and trenches."

"The ditch became the foundation and the fence became the support." Dou Lide said seriously. "The principles are the same. It's no different from building a house or building a building."

"Then can we dig a hole to make a foundation?" Xiong Bonan also asked seriously. "After stabilizing, continue to build the fourth and fifth floors? The upper two floors are narrower."

"Sure." Shan Tonghai waved his hand. "That's how it all works."

Many people around me nodded relaxedly.

This is a good phenomenon. This group of people who lack high-level war experience have gradually gained confidence in the war itself through trial and error, and have also gained a certain degree of professionalism... To put it bluntly, everyone is gradually letting go.

Zhang Xing also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this scene.

But immediately, a thought flashed through his mind, and then he suddenly laughed: "We are in trouble."

Everyone looked at it in surprise.

"Why do we need to dig the foundation?" Zhang Xing said with a smile. "Why don't we just build soil outside the house?"

Everyone suddenly realized that it was indeed the case. It was Hutu before, and this was just a matter of turning a corner.

But soon, the leader Fan Wang became a little uneasy: "No... Longtou, if we build the soil, isn't it equivalent to building a mountain of soil for our own house? And then building a house on the mountain of soil?"

"Yes." Zhang Xing thought for a moment and immediately admitted this statement.

"If this is the case, will the officers and soldiers follow our example and build houses on the hills?" Fan Wang expressed his worries.

"They have already started." Xia Hou Ningyuan, another leader who was rotated to the front line today, suddenly interrupted. "They built a barracks on the mountain when they left tonight...it was only a matter of time before they built a building."

"Then no matter what the other party does, let's just do this." Zhang Xing made up his mind.

"But if they build houses on such a high mountain, aren't they afraid of it collapsing?" Another leader, Cheng Mingqi, interjected. "Let me tell you, why not use the building to cover it and dig a tunnel at the same time? Then suddenly support it and collapse the mountain of earth? They just piled up the earth to form a mountain, and they only compacted it slightly with the help of practitioners at the time. It will definitely not be strong!"

Everyone was startled.

"It's feasible." Cheng Zhili was the first to respond.

"No... if the earth mountain collapses." Cheng Minqi suddenly denied himself. "Didn't it collapse directly in front of our camp? Our fences, trenches, and bungalows are all gone."

Everyone was silent again.

"So what if it collapses?" Zhang Xing spoke again. "As long as we are prepared, nothing will escape our hands... When the fence is destroyed, we prepare it in advance. When the earth collapses and they don't have time to attack immediately, we will take advantage of the situation to make up for it; we will also send people to the house in advance. To withdraw is... If you can kill the people on the mountain in one fell swoop and destroy their mountain at the same time, I would say that it doesn't matter if you abandon the first row of camps and only continue to set up defenses on the second row of camps! You can even set up the second row of camps now! Get up early to build houses and build mountains in the second-story camp!"

The people below came up with ideas and the coach made the final decision, so everyone was naturally relieved.

"No." At this moment, Dou Lide suddenly said with a frown and his arms in his arms. "At this time of year, if you don't go up or down, I'm afraid it's often frozen down below. It would be too difficult to dig a hole."

It was hard to tell clearly how many times the barracks had become quiet.

"Don't be afraid!" After a long pause, Xiong Bo Nan slapped his gum and said. "I will personally lead people to dig the soil! What kind of soil can't be dug if I use my true energy?"

Everyone in the barracks was surprised for a moment, and they all admired King Xiongtian's boldness regardless of his status.

But soon, Zhang Xing spoke again, but then looked at Cheng Zhili and Shan Tonghai: "You two... With all due respect, there is no more suitable person for digging the earth than Duanjiang Zhenqi... I am the coach, if If you are not at the general station, you will be discovered. Can you please ask two masters who lead the army to cut off Jiang Zhenqi to do this together?"

Cheng and Shan looked at each other.

Immediately, Cheng Zhili immediately agreed: "What did the leader say? In a battle of life and death, how can you care about these things? Just give the order."

"Of course it doesn't matter to me...it's all for the sake of the overall interests of the Dragon Gang." Shan Tonghai also answered with arms in his arms, but he couldn't help but point out one thing. "What do you mean by just Zhang Longtou? Why do you say that you can't get away from the general platform? Are you also Duanjiang Zhenqi?"

Zhang Xing said nothing, just waved his hand like a knife, and then an obvious pale white Duanjiang Zhenqi flashed through, directly cutting off a corner of the table in front of him, surprising everyone.

"I'm not hiding anything from you either." Zhang Xing spoke frankly. "I have a strange experience. Although I am not skilled, I can actually use some other Qi to make it...but I have always felt that this is a bit unfair. If I use it too much, it will be harmful...Only if I fight like this, what scruples are there? They shouldn’t be there. If there is really a shortage of people, I can dig holes with you!”

The generals suddenly understood. On the one hand, they were surprised and remembered it in their hearts. On the other hand, they couldn't do much to investigate... Hundreds of thousands of troops were facing each other outside.

In this way, everyone just continued to agree on how to deal with the next battle front fortifications, and then dispersed with their tasks and ideas.

Only Jia Yue hesitated for a moment and followed Zhang Xing to the latter's military tent.

"What?" Zhang Xing asked seriously, but he was not too surprised.

"I want to ask something." Jia Yue said sincerely. "If it rains, snows, or freezes suddenly, will the army be defeated this time?"

"That's natural." Zhang Xing said with a smile. "Are there few cases of this kind of warfare since ancient times?"

"That's the case..." Jia Yue hesitated. "Why not pray to Black Emperor or Lord Tunfeng? Ask them to send rain and snow?"

"The Black Emperor directly showed his holiness in the land of Hebei?" Zhang Xing asked with narrowed eyes. "What do people in the world think of her?"

"That's why I said Lord Tunfeng. Lord Tunfeng has this ability. The cold air in the world comes from her... Even in the North, she has never been afraid to show her body in front of others." Jia Yue said seriously. "The Northland often seeks him to offer sacrifices and pray for him to increase or decrease the wind and snow."

"Can Lord Tunfeng capture Hebei?" Zhang Xing was still puzzled. "With his actions in the north, how long will it take for it to snow in Hebei?"

"That's true." Jia Yue thought thoughtfully. "However, the main reason is that I think you are someone who has the care of the gods. Lord Tunfeng will probably take more care of you and is willing to help even though we are far away. That's why I said this."

Zhang Xing thought for a moment and then reminded him seriously: "Actually, if the defeat is imminent and there is a saint in front of me, I don't have any burden. I can also ask for the price... But now the manpower is not exhausted, or in other words , the manpower is clearly available, so just praying to the gods and true dragons is a bit lenient. Not to mention, Lord Tunfeng is too far away, and you and I have hundreds of thousands of brothers from the Deposed Dragon Gang who can lift mountains and move rivers on our side. , there is no need to put the cart before the horse.”

"Yes." Jia Yue nodded and turned around.

"After we finish this battle, we can have a good chat." Zhang Xing suddenly grabbed the other person's arm and reminded him again. "But in this battle, I only want you to be the leader of the Deposed Dragon Gang, and work together with the others to accomplish great things!"

"This is natural." Jia Yue blurted out, his expression unchanged.

ps: Tushan Lake has been painted... I haven’t settled the accounts for a long time... It has been repaired... But to excuse me, it’s really not my fault. The siege mountains in ancient books often rise ten feet high, so I wrote it without even thinking about it... According to the twenty-first century Thirty to forty thousand square meters of land for ten thousand people, divided into five hills, each smaller than 10,000 square meters. Calculated by the cone volume, five or six feet high seems reasonable... Of course, it must not be continuous, and it should be changed to allow practitioners to Then ram the soil.

As for why I wrote this, it really wasn’t the Battle of Jade Wall, but Zhuge Liang captured Meng Huoli seven times to take Sanjiang City in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Zhuge Liang waited outside for three or four days without doing anything. That day he saw the wind blowing. Feeling that it was time to destroy the city, he gave an order, and each man had a bag of soil, and the city wall was flooded. I was very impressed... He didn't even use a bag. The original text is "Each army's lapel is covered with a bag of soil." "One hundred thousand soldiers of Shu" "In an instant, mountains of soil were piled up, reaching up to the city"... It was very impressive, and it could be regarded as an expression of war in DNA.

All I can say is that if you engage in geometry and physics, it will easily destroy classical romanticism.
