The Summoning World of the Great Qin Empire

Chapter 821
The soldiers of the Kingdom of Heaven boasted that they were protected by heavenly skills and were invulnerable to swords and guns. Before going to the battlefield, they had to drink talisman water and recite mysterious skills. As long as their beliefs were firm, they would be invulnerable to weapons and guns. Such an approach can turn a group of peasants who are usually submissive into bloodthirsty warriors.

It's ridiculous to say that this practice of using religion to fool the people has happened countless times in official history.

As long as the people are not afraid of death and the law, they can go to battle even with sticks and hoes.

It is also true of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, and it is also true that in the last years of the dynasties, all walks of life rebelled against the king.

Ma Di looked outside the city, seeing a vast expanse with no end in sight. This was the real change in just a few days.

"General! The state of Jin is probably trying to attack Chen Liu by force. I don't know what the general has planned?" When Ma Di was worried, he suddenly heard a voice coming from behind. It's Zhang Jiao.

"Hmph!" Ma Su had always been at odds with Zhang Jiao, and he attributed all of Hong Xiuquan's obsession with womanizing and ignorance of government affairs to Zhang Jiao.

In Ma Su's heart, Zhang Jiao is a complete sycophant.

Suffered, Ma Di rolled his eyes, Zhang Jiao didn't care, and smiled lightly: "The general sees that I always present beauties to the king, so he thinks that I am suspected of deceiving the Lord, and I have my own painstaking efforts to accuse me."

"What pains do you have?" Ma Di sneered, pointing to the barracks of the Jin army outside the city, and said angrily: "At this moment, hundreds of thousands of Jin troops swarmed in, and with overwhelming momentum, they were wiped out in just over a month. I am half of the country, if you don't always sacrifice your women in front of the king, killing the ambition of the king, why is the king doing this?
Back then, the great king had great ambitions, and within half a month, he appraised the Kingdom of Heaven. He was forcibly born under Lu Bu's hands, and took away this vast country. Only then did he have the Great Kingdom of Heaven today. Thinking about it now, how sad it is? "

"I have a strategy to govern the country, but there are too many people here, so I invite the general to come to my mansion to discuss. According to me, the Jin army will definitely not attack at this time." Zhang Jiao said seriously.

"A joke! It's a big joke!" Ma Di sneered: "I once said that Aliba people said that a sow could fly in the sky, and that the courtiers also have good strategies for governing the country. It's really a big joke!"

"Ma Di! You are presumptuous!"

A group of generals behind Zhang Jiao glared at each other, wishing they could rush forward and tear Ma Di away!

"So what if you are presumptuous? I'll be afraid of you at first?" Ma Di sneered coldly. Behind him, there was still a group of generals surrounded by him, all of whom were about to unsheath their sharp swords hanging from their waists.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Jiao's face changed slightly, but he suddenly smiled: "The general said that I am a courtier, and I have no good words to govern the country, but why don't you come to my mansion for a while? Listen to my words for now. Not too late."

Seeing the lingering anger on Zhang Jiao's face, but there was a bit of sincerity on his face, Ma Su thought to himself: "It doesn't matter whether what he said is true or not, the national crisis is already at the head of the situation, and I'm taking into account those personal grievances and grievances." , really shouldn't..."

At that moment, Ma Di cupped his hands and said: "Since the general said so, Ma Di will go to the general's mansion in person tonight. Now is the time when the country is facing a crisis. It is best for you and me to put aside the past, and the county will overcome the current difficulties sooner rather than later." .”

Then, Ma Di pointed to the aisle of the city wall on one side and said: "The general patrolled from here, and I patrolled from here. The turrets and horses need a lot of arrows to remember the enemy. This is very important." Supplies cannot be underestimated.”

Zhang Jiao nodded and said, "Not just arrows, but also things like rolling logs and rolling stones. We should also prepare our army's material reserves in the city as soon as possible."

"Don't worry about this, general. I'm ready. Now I'm just doing an inventory to prevent the soldiers from slacking off." Ma Su seemed to be disdainful, but he still hid his emotions well.

"Okay!" Zhang Jiao nodded, and led a group of generals to patrol the city wall in one direction.

Ma Di looked at the backs of Zhang Jiao and the others, not knowing what was going on in his mind, so he gave a slight cold snort, then thought of another direction to inspect the past.

"General, are you really going to General Zhang's mansion tonight?" A general asked worriedly.

"What are you afraid of?" Ma Di asked back: "I am the duke who was conferred by the king himself, how dare he mess around?"

"Yes! Yes! The last general just asked casually."

Ma Su turned his head and returned to the edge of the city tower. Through the walls, he looked at the camp of the Jin army outside, and looked around at the generals around him. When the Kingdom of Heaven encounters a national calamity, it is up to you whether you can keep this last piece of land."

"We are willing to fight to the death with the general. People are in the city, and the city is dead!"

"People live in the city, but people die in the city!"

On the city tower, there were shouts one after another.

Ever since Hong Xiuquan presided over the knighting ceremony, although there was still a lot of noise in the palace, the morale of the soldiers in the city was already very high.

Hong Xiuquan had been preparing for various materials since the beginning of the Jin Kingdom's attack on the Kingdom of Heaven.

Perhaps it was Zhuang Jia who led the army to go north. After encountering the disastrous defeat of Guan Yu and his son in Fencheng, he himself learned his lesson, shrank his troops, did not fight the Jin people, and set the place for the final decisive battle in Chenliu!
The midwinter has come to the end, the sky is rarely clear, the setting sun hangs in the western sky, and the gorgeous rays of light sprinkle the city, and the Jin camp outside the city seems to be coated with a layer of color.

Ma Di got off the tower, got on his horse, and brought a dozen or so soldiers with him, and trotted the horse down the street.

Zhangjiao Mansion.

Behind the screen, all the swordsmen were hidden, and in the main hall, there was a banquet, and the fragrance burst out one after another.

A middle-aged scribe came in and said to Zhang Jiao, "My lord, everything is ready."

This scholar is Zhang Jiao's staff.

Zhang Jiao nodded: "What I'm going to do this time is a big deal. If Ma Su refuses to cooperate, I will definitely kill him at the banquet!"

"Everything has been ambushed. Behind the screen, there are [-] swordsmen and [-] guards in the courtyard. Even if that Ma Di is superb in martial arts, he will definitely be able to kill him here!"

Zhang Jiao nodded, walked around behind the screen, and said to the many swordsmen:
"I'll use this general's throwing cup as a pretext, and then I'll jump out and kill that Ma Di together and chop it into meat!"

"Here!"

A dull voice echoed.

"General, Ma Di has arrived, just outside the gate of the mansion."

A military general hurried in and came to report.

Zhang Jiao asked in a low voice, "How many people are here?"

"There is only Ma Di alone, and a dozen or so personal guards."

"This is really God helping me!" Zhang Jiao laughed, originally he was worried that Ma Di would bring the group of generals beside him, so things would be a little tricky.

Now that Ma Di was entrusted with the big one, and he was rescued by himself, wouldn't he understand that he came here to give away his head?

"Let's go! Let's go out together to meet Ma Di! Let's see if Ma Di knows who he is!" Zhang Jiao laughed and walked out in big strides.

After going out the door, he took a closer look and saw that Ma Di was wearing a military uniform, and there was still some dust on his face. This means that he had come straight to him after he got off the city wall!
"Your guest is here, please!" Zhang Jiao stood at the door, laughing and making a gesture of invitation.

A few smiles appeared on Ma Di's face, and he said with a faint smile, "Please!"

The two entered the mansion, only to hear Zhang Jiao say: "The banquet has been prepared. I had some misunderstandings with the general before. I hope that all these misunderstandings can be resolved during this banquet."

After Ma Di heard this, he only thought that Zhang Jiao had the intention to work together with him to deal with Jin, so why would he think elsewhere?
My heart was also a little moved, and I followed Zhang Jiao's words: "The previous things are over, now the enemy's soldiers are approaching the city, and the only ones who can provoke the leader are a certain and envoy, you and I should naturally work together! "

"Exactly!" Zhang Jiao smiled and invited Ma Di to take a seat. After Ma Di took his seat, Zhang Jiao began to persuade him to drink.

The two began to talk about the city defense. According to Zhang Jiao, the city defense should not only have arrows, the enemy will definitely have ladders, and even large siege weapons such as wells. To deal with these weapons, you need to use similar weapons the corresponding thing.

After hearing this, Ma Di felt a little guilty, so he asked for advice: "What's the best plan for the envoy?"

"Gao Ce didn't dare, he just said it out and discussed it with the general." Zhang Jiao cupped his hands, "Now the weather has passed the coldest period, when the water was sprinkled into ice, but not now, if the enemy's ladder, if Boil the sesame oil, then pour it down, burn as much as you want, as for the Jinglan, this thing has already been eliminated, if the people of Jin really want to use Jinglan to attack, then it will be their downfall."

Ma Di disagreed. Although the Jinglan moves slowly, it can be as high as the city. If it retreats to the front, the Jin people can jump directly from the Jinglan to the tower. The general's words are unavoidable. Suspected of underestimating the enemy. "

"The Shijun also said that the moving speed of Jinglan is slow. I heard that when the people of Chu State and Qin State were at war at sea, they used to make fire oil jars, which were filled with boiling sesame oil into a clay pot, and then The mouth of the clay pot is slender, leaving only a piece of linen, which is infested with sesame oil. After it is ignited, a trebuchet will be launched, and it will be shot down on the enemy's battleship, and the battleship can be burned. Jin people's well fence destroyed?"

As he said that, Zhang Jiao got up and clapped his hands, and the staff who appeared just now led two people up, and the two people were holding a map in their hands.

Zhang Jiao signaled Ma Di to come over to check it out, and took a closer look at the map. Ma Di could see clearly that this was the topographic map of the entire Chenliu city!
"Please look, general. Since the establishment of our dynasty, there have been two inner and outer walls built at the east, west, south, north, and four city gates, and the two layers of walls are not connected to each other. Inside the inner city, an additional layer of urn walls has been built. , as a defense..."
