Nie Chen turned around and took out his knife, started digging on the ground, and said while digging,
"Two people go back to the camp and ask them to bring cloth bags and iron catalpas to hold these flowers. Bring more people up."
"As you command!"
Prince Nie started digging himself, so the people behind him couldn't sit idle. The generals turned into gardeners and old farmers, pulled out their knives and started digging too.
The cavalrymen also dug together with the generals.
Nie Chen said while digging,
"Wet the towel under your helmet and cover your mouth and nose. If you smell this smell too much, you will feel dizzy. I don't want to endanger all our senior generals just because of digging."
"Hahaha……"
Everyone burst into laughter, and then followed Nie Chen's example, wet the face towel with water, and then covered their mouth and nose.
"We have finished digging them today, and we have to attack the city tomorrow, so we won't have time to do these. Let's do it while it's still early in the day.
Remember to dig out the roots without breaking them, and keep watering them on the way back to the capital. They can be transplanted directly after returning to the capital.
When the time comes, let Wang Hao find a piece of land belonging to a rich and powerful person and plant it there. These flower seeds can also be planted. Find some craftsmen who are good at flower planting to guide you.
Every flower you dig now can save many lives in the future. "
While Nie Chen was directing, he would check how others were digging from time to time.
From the matter of digging flowers, we can see the character of everyone.
Zhou An and Ma Niubai were impatient and impatient with digging, Yue Dongwen was the liveliest and ran back and forth, Lin Guangning Wushuang Renjun had a steady character, and Zhou Long and Zhou Hu got into a fight over grabbing a flower.
The one who dug the best was Ouyang Ming.
Nie Chen said to Ma Niubi,
"Old Ma, dig more carefully. Look at Ouyang, every plant you dig is broken. Every plant you dig out is very complete, with roots intact."
Ouyang Ming smiled and said,
"I am a commoner, working hard in Longxing thatched cottage..."
"You want to live your whole life in troubled times, and don't seek to learn and reach the princes?"
Nie Chen raised his head and said in surprise.
"Ah? What? These two sentences, my lord, really express my previous indifferent attitude."
"it's okay no problem."
Nie Chen was shocked, thinking that Ouyang Ming was also from time travel, and he even said a few words about being a teacher.
I tested it and found that it wasn't.
Slightly regretful.
Ouyang Ming continued,
"I used to live in a thatched cottage with my two children, Xiao Lan and Azhu. I often grew food, vegetables and flowers. I am very good at pastoral things."
Nie Chen smiled and said,
"It's a leisurely hermit life. When the world is settled, I will go with you to find a thatched cottage to live in seclusion and live a life like a paradise.
Not now, now we have to fight. "
"My lord is in a high position, but he is not dazzled by the wealthy life. He has a heart for the people of the world, but he still yearns for a leisurely and secluded life. It is really rare."
"To tell you the truth, I never thought about conquering the world before. I just wanted to be a rich man, have some spare money, buy a house, and live a leisurely and unrestrained life.
But things didn't work out as I wished. After being tied up the mountain by my wife, I embarked on this road step by step.
It feels like there is a big hand pushing me forward. As I walked, I got to where I am today.
Although it has only been more than a year, it seems like a lifetime ago. "
"Then why did Madam tie you up to the mountain?"
"Hey, it's not just because I'm handsome that you just fall in love with me."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
…
Soon, the soldiers came over with large iron catalpa bags and other items. Five thousand people came, and the manpower was suddenly sufficient.
Nie Chen and others were also liberated, but Nie Chen was not idle either, directing the soldiers to dig flowers.
At first, the soldiers didn't know what these flowers were used for. After the commanders explained, they all knew, and they dug harder one by one.
After all, no one can guarantee that they will never be able to use this thing on a battlefield where countless people are killed and wounded by swords and swords.
Maybe one day, the flower I dug can save my life.
With more people and strength, the flowers all over the hillside were dug out in two hours. Nie Chen took everyone back to the camp and directed the flowers to be loaded into trucks and sprinkled with water.
Then, he personally wrote the prescription and a letter to Weng Qiuchan, asking her to give it to Li Yuanjun.
After doing this, Nie Chen asked people to get ready and set off the next day before falling asleep.
It has to be said that the mandala flowers are very energetic. Not only Nie Chen slept until early morning, but also all the participating commanders.
When they woke up, the army had already assembled in the camp and was preparing to attack the city.
Nie Chen shook his head in a daze, ate with a group of commanders who were also in a daze, and then commanded the army to leave the camp and prepare to attack Yuemen Pass.
Yuemen Pass is a military pass, built very high, like the city wall of the capital.
But it is not straight, which means that only the front part of the An army can attack the city first, while it is difficult for other An army to attack.
The group of Anjun at the front also had to withstand the most intensive attacks from the city.
If the attack is from east to west, then the advantages of this city wall can be brought into play, but if the attack is from west to east, it becomes very passive.
When this city wall was being designed, the emperor and officials of that year had already thought about the situation that after the enemy occupied Yuemen Pass, they would counterattack and recapture Yuemen Pass from the capital, creating convenience for this kind of battle situation.
Such a city wall is destined to be unable to exert much power no matter how many people there are.
As for the Feng Army, they were determined to open a breakthrough from the middle of the front. The army-breaking crossbows and trebuchets under the city frantically bombarded the front line of Yuemen Pass, hitting An on top of the city. The army could not lift its head and suffered heavy casualties. When the general on the city drove the soldiers forward to consolidate the middle line of defense, many people did not dare to pass.
Hiding in the back, the two ends of the crescent moon are so safe, why go to the front and die?
While the Feng army suppressed the enemy with heavy firepower, they sent infantry to attack the city in a mighty manner.
The first battle to attack the city was the Wind Blade Army.
The Wind Blade Army was the latest army established under Nie Chen, and its only achievements were in the battle to attack the capital, and most of them were surrendered troops.
Nie Chen sent Ren Jun to the army this time, mainly to let him adapt to the heavy weapons of the Feng Army, to adjust his strategy according to the rhythm of the Feng Army's siege, and at the same time to let the Feng Blade Army make some contributions to convince the public.
This was also the first battle after Ren Jun took refuge with Nie Chen, so Ren Jun fought Ye with extra care and hard work. The two regiments directly pressed forward and advanced towards the Yuemen Pass city wall in a mighty manner.
Ren Jun did not use a siege truck, but only used a Mohist ladder to push forward.
Under the heavy firepower, the An army on the top of the city could not raise their heads to fight back. Those who could fight back were too far away to hit them.
