Dajin picked up a god of war

Chapter 359 Throwing Cannons at the Lookout Tower!

Wang Mi gave Liu Yu a chance. You Lao Liu can say whatever he wants. As long as you dare to say it, I will bet on it.

The chance is yours, fair and reasonable.

The enthusiasm of the brothers was immediately ignited!
There is a bet!

Also bet big!
You can take Xiangyang City in one day and one night!

It's so exciting!
Everyone present, especially Tan Pingzhi, a war madman, was shocked by Wang Mi's announcement.

The faster the war is fought, it means that the more investment in the war, the soldiers from Jingzhou have to fight, and the soldiers from Beifu cannot fall behind.

The bigger the war is, the more it shows the need for manpower. In this way, today, just today, Liu Yu and Lao Tan can all be ready to go into battle today!

"Send slave, tell me!"

"What to bet!"

Lao Tan, the toughest buddy, knew Liu Yu's temperament best. Ji Nu was a decent person, so I was embarrassed to be honest with Wang Mi.

At this time, you need the encouragement of good brothers.

"Then bet on the horse!" Liu Yu slapped his thigh and finally shouted.

"Betting on horses?"

"How to bet?"

"The kind that runs laps?"

Wang Mi took it for granted, and Liu Yu had many questions.

"Why run laps?"

Wang Mi was taken aback, Huh?
In this era, it seems that there is no racecourse, and horses do not often run laps. How can I forget.

Wang Mi patted his forehead and quickly changed his words: "Didn't you say you want to bet on horses?"

"I said in advance that horse racing is impossible, and I will never beat you."

"Zhiyuan, that's not what I mean when I say betting on horses. I want to give you a good horse. Of course, if Xiangyang City can be broken in one day."

Liu Yushan's Xiangma, Wang Mi had heard about this when he was in Jingkou. His favorite horse, Chasing the Wind, was carefully selected from among the many horses in Beifu.

Endurance is extremely strong, explosive power is good, and it never pulls across the battlefield.

What Liu Yu said about betting on horses is to bet on a good horse. If Liu Yu wins, Wang Mi should give him a good horse. This is not difficult for Wang Mi, an official of the imperial court and a son of a dignified family. Liu Yu definitely did not make things difficult for him.

In contrast, if Wang Mi wins, although the odds are small, it is not impossible.

Liu Yu wanted to choose a peerless horse as a gift.

Liu Yu's little abacus clapped, a good horse, of course, can't be from Beifu. In Xiangyang City, Di Qin's war horses are lined up in a row, not as many as they want.

It only needs a pair of his old Liu's discerning eyes to be easily identified.

"it is good!"

"That `s a deal!"

"That's a deal!"

On this side, the two generals finally settled on a bet, and on the other side, a soldier rolled and climbed into the military tent.

The flustered expression and the bewildered behavior seemed to be greatly stimulated.

"No... not good!"

"Secretary Wang, something big has happened!"

Hey!
What's the big deal, it has to come out at this time, doesn't this ruin the interest of the old men?
It was only when Wang Mi followed Xiao Bing to the battlefield that he understood that it was a big deal!

Really big deal!
Surprisingly big!

Looking around, about a mile ago, under the city of Xiangyang, Jingzhou soldiers and Diqin defenders were fighting to the death, but a mile away, Wang Mi's successor troops can still be called calm.

Although it is paradoxical, this is also the true form of war in ancient battle formations, especially in the era of pure cold weapons before the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Legend has it that before the famous battle of Changping began, the armies of Zhao and Qin stretched for more than ten miles and faced off for a long time.

A dozen miles away!

Thinking back then, when Wang Mi saw this figure, Wang Mi was amazed, and exclaimed that the records in ancient books were really not credible, so it was not true.

It was only when I came to this Great Jin Dynasty that I realized that although the records in the ancient books were exaggerated, the arrangement of the ancient battle formations and the confrontation situation were still very vivid.

For example, right now, under the city of Xiangyang, the Jingzhou soldiers led by Huan Yi and the few Beifu soldiers led by Wang Mi are separated by more than a mile. You can't see me, and I can't see you.

The fire was in full swing in the front, but in the rear, apart from the occasional heavy sound of stone cannons landing, almost no movement could be heard.

As the chief general of an army, if Wang Mi wanted to understand the battle ahead, he could only rely on the signal soldiers who could go back and forth once in half an hour.

Half an hour!

Think about it, when the news comes, maybe the day lily is cool!

Wang Mi followed Xiao Bing to the back of the battle formation. Xiao Bing jumped into a big pit and said tremblingly, "Secretary Wang, please look, there is actually a note here!"

What note?
where is it?
The stone cannon was too huge, and the side with the note was completely turned away from Wang Mi, so that when he heard this, his head was gooey. What exactly is the "big thing" that Xiaobing said.

I saw one side of the huge stone cannon that was polished very smoothly, and a piece of yellow paper that was one foot square was sticking upright on it.

This piece of paper is hanging very much now.

The bottom two corners have been flying up, completely free from the shackles of the stone cannon, and the two corners that are still barely sticking to the stone cannon are also crumbling.

If it is discovered later, there may be nothing to see.

"This is……"

"The Xianbei Legion cast over?" Liu Yu was a little confused and always felt incredible.

The soldier put his hands together and said, "General Liu, it is indeed from the Xianbei people in the city!"

Wang Mi didn't take the note off the stone cannon, but just tried to read the writing on it.

Half a mile behind Qixia Gate, next to the watchtower, you can throw cannons.

Cannonball?

Seeing these words, Wang Mi was finally convinced that this stone cannon was indeed thrown by the Xianbei people.

The Xianbei people threw that cannon on purpose!

Thinking about it this way, it seems that there are also explanations for those slightly weird, but not exactly weird situations.

No wonder the Xianbei people stopped throwing stone cannons outside the city after hitting this cannon, instead they used archery instead.

It turned out that this stone cannon was used to deliver messages!

Wang Mi patted his forehead, regretful, why didn't he realize the meaning of this layer earlier, if he realized it earlier, he might be able to take the initiative!

How much of the initiative can be put aside for the time being, the focus now is to figure out what the message is conveyed by this note.

Liu Yu is a straightforward person, and with a big hand, he took off the note.

Hey, it's the easiest way to hold it in your hand!
"Yanyou, where is the watchtower?"

"Why did the Xianbei people let our army sling in that direction?"

In this matter, we can only turn to Cui Yanyou, who understands the internal structure of Xiangyang City.

Cui Yanyou waved his hand and pointed: "Watching Tower, it is about half a mile away from Qixia Gate. Can Secretary Wang see the three-story building behind the corner tower?"

For a gigantic city like Xiangyang City, a three-story building is not so tall at all. It is blocked by the city wall and cannot be seen at all.

Wang Mi jumped onto the mound and looked in the direction that Cui Yanyou pointed. Sure enough, he saw a small building with a sharp corner on the top, and a battle flag was erected.

"Is that the place in the city to look out?" As the name suggests, since it is called the Lookout Tower, the function is probably this.

Cui Yanyou nodded: "It is true, but it is only responsible for observing the situation in the city, not outside."
