That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 1234 There Are Women in the Temple

After nearly half a month of siege battle, Huang Xiao's army in Zhuolu City has already lost all morale and lack of food and arrows, so Wei Wuji is determined to win this siege, just as he wrote in this chapter of the imperial court, must Conquer the city before the end of the month!Regarding this move, there is no shortage of objections in the commander-in-chief, because after all, Huang Xiao's army is not in the minority, and he has the advantage of the city. It may be difficult to conquer it in a short time. Even if it can be done barely, it is nothing more than killing a thousand enemies The result of losing eight hundred.For the current situation in the south of the Yangtze River, where the victory is already determined, this move is extremely unwise. The best way is to besiege the city slowly, and the damage will undoubtedly be much smaller. Even if the attack cannot be completed before the end of the month, at most The city of Zhuolu can also be conquered in the middle of next month.

However, considering the overall situation, Wei Wuji still tried his best to overcome all opinions and decided to attack the city ahead of time, and the result was just as he expected. After the news of Wei Wang Xiaojin's death came, the soldiers of Huang Xiao were distracted and had no fighting spirit at all. , it is impossible to make an act of defending the city, and the defeat is only an instant.

Wei Wuji stepped out of the tent and rode to the position of the catapult. At this time, the catapult had stopped throwing stones. Apart from the fear of accidentally injuring the siege soldiers, the huge stones stored by the army had also been exhausted. How many boulders fell in Zhuolu City, just these "fire meteors" falling from the sky were enough to destroy the morale of Huang Xiao's army, which was not much.

Wei Wuji got off his horse and stood in front of the formation, listening to the constant messages from flying cavalry about the progress of the siege and the casualties.

In the two hours just now, at the cost of nearly [-] casualties, the Great Qi army attacked the top of the city and broke through the city gates. The most brutal street fighting followed, and the number of casualties would continue to increase.

However, for Wei Wuji, a veteran of the battlefield who has experienced ten years of competition, he doesn't have too many ups and downs, how many injuries and deaths are just a cold number, even if he himself is within this number, it is nothing accident.

Wei Wuji sighed softly, and raised his eyes to look at Zhuolu City, which is only one letter away from Zhulu. There are only two last places in the Jiangnan battlefield, one is Zhuolu City, and the other is Peng Lao Town, let alone Peng Lao Zhen, as long as he wins Zhuolu City, he can go to Jiangling City first and start preparing for the aftermath of the Wei Wang Rebellion.

At this time, the two armies in the city had already started street fighting.

In this kind of battle, it is not the cavalry that is most likely to be used, but the firearms battalion of the Wei State. If it was placed at other times, Wei Wuji might not be so optimistic that the overall situation is settled, but at the moment, he dared to make a decision in advance. conclusion.

Since ancient times, the war between the two countries has been a competition of national strength in terms of the overall situation.But from the perspective of a certain local war, it is nothing more than the general's decision-making, the quality of the soldiers, the armor and weapons, the right time and place, and the morale of the people.As the saying goes, attacking the mind is the most important thing, and morale is the most important thing. Today's Wei army has lost morale and lost people's hearts. Even if there is a sharp weapon in hand, it may not be stronger than a fire stick.

These things did not come from military studies, they were realized by themselves after a series of brutal battles. This is the benefit of a veteran, so he, a sinner, was sent here to redeem his merits .

After all, after decades of peace and prosperity in the Daqi court, in terms of the inheritance of generals, it is indeed a bit out of date.

Among today's young generals, Min Chun from the Min family counts as one, and Bai Yu barely counts as one, but it's a pity that she is a woman.But then again, today's Daqi Emperor must be a woman, so there may not be women in the court.

It was also a coincidence that when Wei Wuji was thinking about this, Bai Yu in purple padded armor rode his horse and rushed to Wei Wuji's side after getting off his horse.

Wei Wuji collected his thoughts and said softly, "Bai Yu."

Bai Yu asked, "What orders does your lord have?"

Wei Wuji pointed at Zhuolu City with the whip in his hand, "Huang Xiao is in this city, this man is an old man of Jianzong, so there is no need to recruit him to keep him alive... Do you understand?"

Bai Yu was taken aback, and asked cautiously, "Is that what the general meant?"

Wei Wuji smiled, "The general didn't say anything, nor did he give any hints, but for some things, it's the best thing to do first, and it's the worst thing to wait until the general speaks and then follow orders. "

Bai Yu was stunned for a while, and after understanding Wei Wuji's words, she looked serious and responded respectfully.

Wei Wuji restrained his smile, and said in a deep voice, "For the sake of your being my subordinate, I will teach you a word, you must remember it."

Bai Yu stared blankly at Wei Wuji.

Wei Wuji said: "Whether you are an official or a general, in the final analysis, you still have to deal with people. It is best to spend some time trying to figure out people's hearts. It is not harmful to think about everything."

Bai Yu showed confusion on his face.

Wei Wuji smiled and said: "The reason why I tell you this is because you have made great achievements in this Jiangnan war, and you will probably be able to make further progress. Besides, we old guys are already old, and you young people will definitely take the stage in the future. Let’s turn the clouds over and over again. Seeing my strength, the throne will belong to Her Royal Highness the Princess sooner or later. When that day comes, Her Royal Highness the Princess should use some female officials. By then, you will have a lot to do. It’s just that the officialdom is dangerous, and many things will be easy. It takes a lot of thinking. If there is a day when Her Royal Highness the eldest princess sits on the dragon chair, this commander will still rely on you."

Bai Yu knelt down at once.

Wei Wuji waved his hand, signaling her to get up, and took out a long wooden box about three feet from the horse's back, and handed it to her.

The wooden box was made of the finest rosewood, it was slightly cool to touch, and the chill almost pierced the skin, Bai Yu looked at Wei Wuji in surprise.

Wei Wuji explained with a smile: "In the Dark Guard Mansion, there are special arrows to deal with monks. They are made by the Goldsmith Workshop of the Dark Guard Mansion together with the Ministry of Industry. They are painted with talismans and poisonous. They are divided into nine grades. This is what I have learned in the past." When I was the right governor of the Dark Guard Mansion, I left behind a god-killing arrow, the first class, which can kill monks in the twelfth floor of the earth immortal."

Bai Yu held the wooden box in both hands, trembling slightly.

Wei Wuji smiled and said, "Okay, I don't have a second one, even our Daqi court only has seven."

This man-mao looked straight at Bai Yu, and for the first time did not hide the coldness in his eyes, "You are a good shooter and a martial artist. You can kill earth immortals and monks with your own fists. Now, my commander-in-chief Put this god-destroying arrow into your hands, you find a suitable aura, shoot Huang Xiao, and then bring back his head."

Bai Yu put the wooden box into the quiver behind her back, and clasped her fists in agreement.

Wei Wuji's murderous intent was fleeting, his expression returned to peace and calm, and he got on his horse, "When Chen Qiong was the left commander of the rear army, you were ordered to ambush the general. In the future, people won't make a big fuss about it, so you go and kill Huang Xiao, take the initiative to remove a disaster for the general, that is, let the general owe you a favor, and if someone makes a fuss about it in the future, the general will naturally will speak for you."

After finishing speaking, Wei Wuji rode away.

Bai Yu was silent for a long time, got on his horse, but ran in the opposite direction with Wei Wuji, and headed for Zhuolu City.
