Chapter 910 tacit understanding, cooperate with each other (Happy National Day!)
"It's another poisonous smoke ball! Be careful!"

Shi Bao took the lead and was climbing up the ladder bravely, when he saw a dozen burning balls thrown down from the wall, emitting thick yellow smoke, and suddenly changed color and roared.

Du Wei, who was not far behind him, immediately made a move, and several cold lights shot out, and the small ball flew out with flying knives, his reaction was extremely fast.

But even so, most of the poisonous smoke balls smashed into the crowd of soldiers who were besieging the city, with a bang, and thick smoke exploded.

This thing is called poison smoke ball, also known as poison smoke fire ball. It is a Song Dynasty weapon recorded in "Wu Jing Zong Yao". Toxins such as external application thick coating seal.

When using it, first use a red-hot welding cone to burn the spherical shell thoroughly, and then use a trebuchet to throw it into the enemy group to burst, and with a snap, the poisonous gas disperses.

Compared with golden juice, this kind of poison smoke ball undoubtedly has a longer range and a greater range of lethality. However, because Xiangyang City is condescending, there is no need to use a trebuchet at all, and it can be directly operated by experts from the special attack department.

At this time, Xie Zhen came to Xiangyang in person, stood on the top of the wall, and with a big wave of his hand, the second batch of poisonous fireballs shot down at a tricky angle, causing screams one after another.

Later generations of the Internet describe the poison smoke ball as a chemical weapon that dies when touched, which is definitely an exaggeration. The ancient poison is far from reaching this point. If you take arsenic directly, you will not die for a while, let alone the second-processed smoke. ball.

But even if it is not directly fatal, it can also cause coughing and tearing, difficulty breathing, itchy skin, and blindness. It can basically be regarded as a smoke bomb, and it is very fatal in this situation.

The formation of Fang La's army was instantly disrupted, followed by arrows raining like rain, and strong bows and crossbows began to pour down, submerging the siege team directly in the raging waves.

"Hoo-hoo-!"

Shi Bao led the crowd out of the range of the smoke, his eyes and nose were red, he gasped heavily, and there was a shrill cry behind him.

Some were shot and killed on the spot, some yelled and swung their weapons at their companions under tension, some lost their heads and fell directly into the moat and were washed away...

And Du Wei rushed out with several arrows stuck in his body. Fortunately, he was wearing armor, and he shot an ordinary bow, not a god-armed bow that could break armor within seventy steps, otherwise he would have to shoot Little life left there...

There was the sound of Mingjin withdrawing troops from behind, and the two generals looked at each other, and they both saw the dazed and helpless faces on each other's faces: "This Xiangyang is too difficult to fight!"

The reason why the poison smoke ball can play such a powerful role is not only that the special attack department is responsible for the attacks of these special equipment, but also has something to do with the terrain.

If the moat is not filled and encircled from multiple sides, Xiangyang City will not be able to attack from the north, south, south, east, and south. Only the west side has a siege route. In fact, it is the road that the common people enter the city on weekdays. It can be attacked by a thousand people at most. In such a terrain, the standard one man guards the gate, and ten thousand men can't open it.

Not to mention an army of one hundred thousand, even if it is an army of one million, there are only about a thousand people who can really use their strength.

As for filling the moat...

The troops led by Li Tianrun had tried it before, and then were stunned by the rain of arrows from the tower. Shi Bao was still deeply impressed by the low tone of voice when he returned to the camp.

"How many arrows does the Yan army have in stock? How dare they spend so much..."

Other armies may be bluffing and deliberately attacking the morale of the enemy, but behind the opponent is the entire Central Plains. Even considering that the Yan army took Bianliang peacefully, all the workshops under the military supervisor took over, and now they are continuously producing all kinds of equipment , Arrow reserve is really a trivial matter.

Therefore, it is obviously impossible to fill up a moat with an average width of [-] feet against the condescending arrow attack on the city wall...

Seeing Shi Bao and Du Wei returning to the camp with the remnant soldiers, Fang La frowned into the word "Chuan" and sighed imperceptibly.

After Xiangyang City is reinforced, it will become more and more difficult to attack, which is expected.

The Yan army is backed by strong national strength, which is also expected.

But the two are truly one, and the strong oppressive force displayed is still unbearable.

The strength of the performance of the Yan army and the Song army in the field is completely different, and now they have perfectly inherited the opponent's defensive advantages. The endless defensive equipment has already been transferred to a large number of people in Luoyang, and there is no shortage of food, grass and supplies. , clearly fighting a protracted war of attrition.

Fang La didn't want to fall into the opponent's rhythm, but couldn't find any way to break the situation...

Until the news came from outside the camp.

"Chuan Shu Yang Tianwang sent an envoy here?"

Fang La raised her eyebrows in surprise.

When he was planning to establish a kingship system, he sent envoys to Sichuan to express his willingness to form an alliance with King Yang.

The other party didn't drive away the envoy directly like Yan Yun did, nor did he respond positively. He agreed, and then there was nothing more.

From then on, Fang La knew that the so-called Heavenly King Yang had no ambitions at all, and only wanted to use the advantages of Sichuan and Shu to defend one side.

The opponent does have this capital. The land of Shu is too difficult to attack. The terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack like Xiangyang is placed in Sichuan and Shu. Will be buried under the fishing city.

Xiangyang City has a sense of existence in other dynasties, Diaoyu City is nothing, but there are many such important military places in Sichuan and Shu, so Yang Tianwang is really shrunk in Sichuan and Shu, and there are really not many people who take him outside The way is to consume it slowly until the hearts of the people inside are in turmoil and the regime weakens, and then take advantage of the situation to attack.

Because of this, Fang La did not expect Yang Tianwang to lend a helping hand, but at this time the other party sent an envoy...

Are you enlightened?

This unexpected joy made Fang La subconsciously want to greet her, but she quickly put aside her impulsive thoughts, looked at the left and right guards, and ordered: "Go down and rest, and change to another team."

"Yes!"

During the process of changing the guards, Fang La straightened her clothes, rubbed her cheeks, and sat down on the main seat.

Soon, under the leadership of the young general Zheng Biao, the two envoys walked into the big tent, and what caught everyone's eyes was a sea of ​​jewels.

Compared with Fang La's acquisition of property, which is often rewarded to the generals to buy people's hearts, Yang Tianwang especially likes jewels, and the high-ranking officials he conferred are all decorated with jewels, which is a bit like the style of Tubo, where high-ranking officials are matched with big churros.

At this time, a rough man walking in front was dressed like this, with eye-catching gems inlaid on his body, he bowed and saluted in the tent, and said in a Shu dialect: "Foreign minister Meng Yue, I have seen Sheng Gong!"

The person next to this person was also wearing jewels, with a tall and straight figure, a long sword hanging from his waist, sharp eyes, and said in a Jingxiang accent: "Foreign minister Li Zhu, I have seen Shenggong!"

Fang La took a look at the temperament of the two of them, and said directly, "There is no need to be too polite. I wonder what the two envoys are here for?"

The two straightened their waists, and Meng Yue said: "I heard that the Yan army is going south to invade, the king thought about the alliance between the two families, and sent me to come here. If the Holy Duke needs something, the king will send troops to help!"

There was a bit of condescension in this tone, and Zheng Biao, who led the two people in, changed his face slightly, but Fang La said in a calm and authentic tone: "Yang Tianwang Gao Yi, thank you for me, Xiangyang is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is famous all over the world. In the stalemate with them, we also hope to surround the spot for reinforcements and defeat Beiyan's spirit, and it is not yet time for a decisive battle..."

This understatement made Meng Yue a little surprised. When he thought about it, facing his group of reinforcements, the other party's attitude must have been overjoyed. He didn't expect to calmly decline?

He looked at the guards around Fang La with shining eyes and high spirits, and his attitude suddenly became respectful: "So that's it, it's the foreign minister Meng Lang!"

Fang La's eyes flickered slightly: "How is this Meng Lang? In the past, Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty said, 'Take Bashu first, and then reach Guangnan and Jiangnan, and then the country will be rich'. King Yang knows the truth of dying lips and teeth. I am very grateful for it! "

In fact, there is a sentence before Zhao Kuangyin's original words: "Since the Five Dynasties, China has been plagued by wars and disasters, and the funds are empty." That is to say, the wars in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms have made the Central Plains poor. There is wealth to complete the great cause of reunification.

But now Fang La's omission has become the Central Plains coveting the richness of Bashu. How could Zhao Kuangyin be like this more than a hundred years ago, and when King Yan wants to rule the world more than a hundred years later, how could it be so?
Meng Yue's complexion changed slightly, he subconsciously touched the gem on his body, and said dryly: "Shenggong Mingjian, my king really thinks so..."

Fang La was concerned about the situation in Sichuan and Shu, looked at the sky, and said in an approachable way: "The camp is simple, and I hope you can take care of it. The two envoys can go to rest first. I will talk about it later when we share dinner."

Meng Yue and Li Zhu clasped their fists together: "Thank you Sheng Gong!"

Watching the two retreat, Fang La called Zheng Biao in front of him: "Treat the envoys from Sichuan and Shu, and make them feel at home."

Zheng Biao understood, this is to set up a set of words, to see why the other party came here: "Yes!"

When the tent became quiet again, Fang La's expression changed again, he was surprised instead of happy, stood up and paced slowly: "The atmosphere in Sichuan and Shu hasn't changed, so why would Heavenly King Yang come to help suddenly? He is coveting the land of Jingxiang... …still……"

After murmuring for a while, the Holy Duke stopped, showing a dignified expression: "King Yan?"

Fang La has always been curious, did King Yan see his intentions, and if he saw it, how would he treat Wang Qing, or even fight back?
He didn't know if he was too suspicious, but when Chuan Shu stepped forward, the first thing he suspected was what role the Yan army played in it. If Chuan Shu's Yang Tianwang army came out, was it because the other party deliberately lured snakes out of the cave...

But after thinking about it carefully, the corners of Fang La's mouth slightly raised again, and he picked up an empty wine glass.

In order to clean up military discipline, alcohol is not allowed in the army, and Fang La himself has never violated it. When he is addicted to alcohol, he uses an empty glass to comfort him.

At this time, he lightly raised his wine glass, and raised it towards the north: "If it is really Your Excellency who gives me reinforcements, and Sichuan and Sichuan join the battle, this battle is about the dispute between the North and the South, and I will cooperate!"

"If I win, the king's career will be established, and the north and the south may be divided!"

"If you win, the dragon and snake will rise to the ground, and you will be invincible in the world!"
