Doting the evil king and foolish concubine

Chapter 308: Xue Shu’s Strategy (4)
However, Xue Shu's mind was not as complicated as Lian Qi thought, she did all this because she wanted to seduce Qin Birou.She knew Ji Wuye's words well in her heart. If she wanted to take down Yundu City without bloodshed, she was sure that Qin Birou would definitely submit.

Seeing that the sky was about to darken, Xueshu saw that the torches were lit on the Yundu city wall opposite, she immediately said calmly, "Let's go."

As soon as Hu Hai waved his hand, the soldiers of the army battalion bowed their bodies and held the shield on top of their heads with one hand, and rolled the poplar wood with the other hand. Several people formed a small group, and everyone walked in unison. Bow and stay close behind.Under the cover of night, everyone could only hear the sound of rumbling logs rolling, but when they looked around, they could only see a mass of darkness.Presumably, it is impossible to see clearly what is going on on the walls of Yundu City.

At this moment, on the city wall of Yundu, the soldiers in the watchtower noticed something strange and hurriedly reported to the general who guarded the city. After a while, Qin Birou climbed up the city wall.In this way, it has already spread in the city, saying that the Princess Ming of the Principality of Meng came to destroy Yundu City in person, and the people described the Princess Ming as a miraculous one. There is only nothing in the sky and nothing on the earth. Unable to stop, Qin Birou's teeth itch with hatred.

A few days ago, she knew that the soldiers of the Duke of Meng were cutting down the Populus euphratica. At that time, Qin Birou didn't even think about it. She said mockingly that the soldiers of the Duke of Meng must have been mad by them, and they had all vented their anger on the Populus euphratica.Now listening to the rumbling sound from the tower, Qin Birou seemed to understand Xue Shu's intentions, and she couldn't help but hate her silver toothache, "Come here, the archers are ready."

Although the soldiers of the Meng Dukedom had no special training in rolling logs, when felling, Xueshu ordered no one to use a cart to pull the logs, and asked the soldiers to cooperate and roll back by themselves.At that time, the soldiers complained and complained, but the Populus euphratica near the camp was fine. In the end, the princess ordered them to be cut down in the distance. As a result, rolling logs became the heaviest work for everyone in a day.But after this training, at the moment when everyone is rolling the wood, they are very familiar with driving the car, and their coordination is surprisingly good.I couldn't help but secretly admire the intelligence of the princess.

Arrow feathers swished from their heads, and the soldiers hurriedly raised their shields to the top of their heads. At this moment, when they bent down, the branches and leaves of Populus euphratica on their backs became their best cover. The archers on the Yundu city wall were obviously missing. Accurate, the arrow feathers either missed or were all inserted into the shield, and the soldiers under the shield had almost no casualties.

The archers behind also took advantage of the cover of the Populus euphratica branches on the backs of their comrades in front, and pulled their longbows one after another.This time, the archers selected by Xueshu not only require good archery skills, but also require great strength.Therefore, the arrow feathers that Xueshu equips them are all long arrows, which are almost twice as long as the previous arrow feathers. In this way, although the shooting range is increased, the requirements for archers are stricter. superior.

At this moment, it was pitch black under the city wall, and the archers on the Yundu city wall had to leave the cover of the crenel, stand upright and shoot down, so that they became like rakes.There were only miserable howls on the city wall, and the sound of rolling logs under the city wall was still incessant, Qin Birou's angry face turned blue.After doing this three times, the archer was severely damaged, and Qin Birou had to order to stop shooting.She called in the trebuchet, and asked the soldiers to drop boulders based on the distance of the ravine.

While Qin Birou was busy mobilizing the trebuchet, the soldiers of Duke Meng had already pushed the logs into the ravine, and when the trebuchet dropped stones, they had already quietly withdrawn from the danger zone.On the second day, when Qin Birou looked at the city, her seven orifices were filled with anger.

It turned out that Xueshu asked people to roll Populus euphratica to fill the gullies, but not all the gullies were filled, but only selectively.Unexpectedly, last night the trebuchet dropped boulders according to the distance of the gully, and it was a coincidence that it filled all the places that Xue Shu did not choose to fill with stones. There is no more danger.

Xueshu stood in front of the tent and looked at Yundu City from a distance. She could imagine Qin Birou's dismay at this moment, and she couldn't help but curl her lips.She was sure that with Qin Birou's pride, she would never be reconciled.However, she still has a trick waiting for her.

When Lian Qi excitedly asked what to do next, Xue Shu just smiled confidently, "Let the soldiers make the remaining logs into floating bridges, and then put them on the moat at night."

Lian Qi smiled, "That's very good."

Lian Qi admired the princess's cunning.

At this time, with Xueshu's order, the people in the camp no longer dare to neglect, and everyone's morale is at an all-time high.The gully was filled last night, and there were no casualties.Moreover, their archers obviously injured many of the enemy's archers, and everyone jumped up excitedly, relieved of the birds' anger they had suffered during this period of time.As soon as they heard that a pontoon bridge was going to be built over the moat, all the generals couldn't sit still any longer, and they all rushed to Xueshu's handsome tent in unison.

When Lian Qi saw them, he couldn't help but turn his face down, "What do you want to do?"

Wang Chang salivated with a wretched smile, "Hey, General Lian, it should be our battalion's turn to build the pontoon bridge this time, right?"

Filling the gully this time made Hu Hai's army battalion show their faces. Now they walk in the camp with their noses turned upside down. This makes Wang Chang very dissatisfied in the military camp where the comparison is so strong and the heart is overweight.Therefore, he incited the soldiers to question him again without knowing his life or death.

Lian Qi straightened his face, "Nonsense, Wang Chang, you are still stubborn, right?"

"General Lian, we have come a long way this time. We have seen that everyone has put in their best efforts. As for our hussars battalion, we are still standing still. If the princess doesn't send us missions, I can't guarantee that my brothers won't snatch them..." Wang Chang's words were rascal .

"You..." Lian Qi pointed directly at his nose and was speechless angrily.

"General Wang, come in!" At this moment, Xue Shu in the handsome tent gave a soft voice, Wang Chang raised his eyebrows, glanced at Lian Qi triumphantly, and opened the curtain to go in.

It was reasonable for Xueshu to choose Wang Chang, the hussar battalion led by him was as cunning and treacherous as his people, this time it just came in handy.

Within a few days, rows of pontoon bridges were ready. Xue Shu repeatedly urged the soldiers to make all preparations and started to act at night.

When it got dark, Qin Birou was standing on the city wall, wondering how Xueshu had been honest these two days?Could it be that filling the gap last time taught her a lesson and made her quit?Not only did Qin Birou have a vain and smug smile on his face.

She really healed her scars and forgot the pain, but she was too proud and arrogant, and she didn't think about the last time she ordered people to throw huge stones to fill the ditch, but it helped Xueshu a lot.Because she wanted to do meritorious service in front of her father so much, she ignored her own fault and only thought that she had hit Xue Shu.

Qin Birou was proud of herself when she suddenly heard horseshoes shaking in front of her, as if a thousand troops were attacking Yundu City, she immediately changed her face and shouted anxiously, "Archers, trebuchets, get ready."
