The king behind the empress

Chapter 422

When Tu Yu died in battle, Situ Yao could see clearly from above the tent. Seeing Tu Yu being beaten to death on the spot like a nail, he couldn't help but his eyes darkened and he almost fell down.

But at this time, he was in the tent of the Chinese army, besides him, there were dozens of patriarchs of aristocratic families, so no matter how sad he was, he still had to suppress his emotions.

So even though his fists were about to bleed, he didn't say a word, quietly watching Yang Yanzhang swagger and bring Tu Yu's head back to Guangling City.

After Yang Yanzhang's army returned to Guangling City, Situ Yao managed to calm himself down, and said in a hoarse voice: "Changqiu, go and take your big brother's..."

Situ Yao couldn't help but paused when he said this, then he took a deep breath and said reluctantly, "Bring back your elder brother's body."

"is teacher."

Bai Chengqiu looked at Tu Yu who died in the battle, feeling a little sad in his heart. Tu Yu was very generous to his own people, and as a senior brother under Situ Yao's family, he took care of Hu Ming and himself a lot on weekdays, but suddenly died in battle today. Here, this made it difficult for Bai Changqiu to accept for a while.

He brought the soldiers to Tu Yu's corpse in a dazed manner. After seeing the remains of Tu Yu whose head had been beheaded by Yang Yanzhang, he could no longer bear the grief in his heart and burst into tears.

There are only three of them under the teacher's family. Now the second senior brother Hu Ming died in battle in Yining City. Not long after his body was brought back to Qianjiang, now the senior brother Tu Yu died in battle in front of his eyes. He didn't even have a complete corpse. fall.

Of the three under Situ Yao's sect, only himself, who is the least capable, is left.

With tears in his eyes, Bai Changqiu collected Tu Yu's body. When he returned to the camp, Situ Yao had already been waiting in the tent for a long time.

When he saw the stretcher covered with white cloth brought back by Bai Changqiu, Situ Yao, who was already mentally exhausted, stretched out his slightly trembling right hand, intending to remove the white cloth.

"teacher……"

Bai Changqiu stopped in front of Situ Yao. He lightly pressed Situ Yao's hand and shook his head slightly, signaling Situ Yao not to take off the white cloth.

The scene under the white cloth was too tragic, and he was a little worried that Situ Yao would not be able to bear it after seeing it.

Situ Yao's trembling hand froze in the air, he hesitated for a long time, but finally he did not push Bai Changqiu away, but withdrew his right hand weakly.

He regarded these three students as his own, and now he watched Tu Yu die in front of his eyes, without even leaving the whole body. How could the feeling be described in two words, grief.

"Yang Yanzhang..."

Situ Yao yelled these three words almost like a roar. The second disciple Hu Ming died indirectly at the hands of Yang Yanzhang before, and now his first disciple died tragically at the hands of Yang Yanzhang. For him, this enmity is irreconcilable.

After roaring, he stood still for a moment, then closed his eyes weakly.

With the Red Flame Dragonrider in hand, I can't do anything to him at this time. Even if I want to design and employ people to pile up the Red Flame Dragonrider to death, the heads of those aristocratic families will not agree to send troops when there is little hope, so Wanting revenge is not that simple at all.

Situ Yao walked back to the chair with some staggering steps, and the successive blows made him look old, who was originally a bit high-spirited,
"Changqiu, the revenge of your two senior brothers must be avenged!"

"I understand, teacher."

Bai Changqiu nodded fiercely, but thinking of the Red Flame Dragonrider, he couldn't help feeling a little powerless, "But, Yang Yanzhang has the Red Flame Dragonrider..."

"The Scarlet Flame Dragon Knight can protect him for a while, but not forever."

Situ Yao pondered for a while, and then said: "Changqiu, you will call out half of the craftsmen in the army to make horse traps."

"Create a horse pit?"

Bai Changqiu was stunned for a moment. The horse trap could be done by digging a long and thin deep hole on the ground. Why did it have to be specially built? Could it be that the teacher is confused?
"That's right, it's building!"

Situ Yao said decisively: "The horses ridden by the Red Flame Dragon are not ordinary war horses. Even if they fall into a normal horse pit, they will slow down their speed at most, and it will not do any harm to them, so they must be specially built."

"You let the craftsmen pour it with molten iron, leaving barbs in the hole in the middle to make a metal horse trap."

"Even if it's a Pegasus, as long as it falls into a horse pit, I will make it break its hoof!"

For Situ Yao, the most difficult thing for the Red Flame Dragon Riders was not the marrow-washing soldiers, but the miraculous war horses.

As long as I can abolish those war horses, make those red flame dragonriders lose their mobility, and carry out siege at that time, the patriarchs of those aristocratic families will not object to me.

"Metal horse trap?"

Bai Changqiu thought for a while in his heart, and instantly understood what Situ Yao meant. He nodded and said, "I understand, teacher. I'll let the craftsman do it."

"I promise, after it's finished, those red flame dragonriders will never be able to step out of Guangling City again."

After speaking, Bai Changqiu went directly to gather the craftsmen.

With an army of 50, there are naturally not a few craftsmen accompanying the army, so the samples were quickly produced.

It was a two-meter-square metal plate poured with molten iron. On the metal plate, there were several fist-sized grooves, and hollow metal columns extended downwards. Inside the metal columns, there were messy It is covered with two or three finger-long metal barbs.

This is a horse trap made of metal. If this metal plate is buried on the ground, as long as a horse moving at a high speed sinks its hooves, its legs will be broken immediately.

Even if the sinking is not deep, those barbs are enough to make the horse's hoof half useless, so it can't be said that it is not vicious.

However, this kind of metal horse pit also has a disadvantage, that is, this thing is made of pure metal. If you want to use it to surround Guangling City, even if it is only to surround the four city gates, you need to use a lot of iron materials.

But when their army went out to fight, there were very few other metal products except for the armor, so for the sake of these metal traps, Bai Changqiu had to pick up the armor of nearly 3000 people to build a building that covered all the four city gates. metal horse trap.

And these horse pits were laid almost under Yang Yanzhang's nose. He naturally saw Situ Yao's vicious intentions clearly, so after this thing was laid, he rarely let Chi Yanlong ride out of the city.

However, it was replaced by Han Qu's mighty army, and Han Qu, who is more of a chicken thief, sent 1 people out of the city each time for training. In addition, it is to dig the horse trap that Situ Yao and the others have worked so hard to lay.

Naturally, Situ Yao couldn't just watch this kind of thing, so he sent elite troops to encircle and suppress these mighty troops who dared to leave the city.

And the generals sent by Han Qu were not greedy for merit. After fighting between the two armies for a while, seeing that Situ Yao had more and more people, he immediately led his troops back to the city.

Then after a period of time, Han Qu sent another 1 people to fight, and this cycle went back and forth, in order to achieve his goal of training troops.

"This, something is wrong."

Situ Yao couldn't help frowning as he watched the ten thousand mighty army walking out of the city again.

These [-] soldiers came out several times a day, they were hardened, they should be tired now, but looking at the mental state of these people, they were all refreshed and full of energy, and they did not look tired at all. This is obviously not normal.

And not only that, the strength of these soldiers is also a bit abnormal. The Shenwei Army comes out with 1 people each time. In order to destroy these 1 people, I mobilize [-] elite troops to encircle and suppress each time.

But the result is that the 2000 mighty troops who came out had almost no losses. On the contrary, the [-] elites on their side, from the loss of [-] at the beginning, to the last several thousand, and now nearly [-] People, the casualties are getting bigger and bigger.

"What is going on with this army?"

Situ Yao was full of puzzlement in his heart. It's not that he didn't think that it was not the same army, but the problem is, if these armies are really not the same, it means that Han Qu has tens of thousands of such powerful soldiers in his hands. Undoubtedly more terrifying.

So even though Situ Yao had guessed this possibility in his heart, he didn't dare to think deeply about it, because such a result would make him feel desperate.

"We have to find a way to keep this army."

Situ Yao put aside those complicated thoughts in his mind, and began to think about how to keep the ten thousand soldiers who left the city, and at worst he would severely injure them.

Otherwise, if you let them go in and out like this, your previous efforts will be in vain, and more importantly, the iron materials in the army have almost been consumed. Armor is not enough.

Thinking of this, Situ Yao couldn't help but feel a little sad, 50 surrounded by [-], obviously he had the upper hand, but the [-] troops left the city as they wanted, and he had nothing to do with them, what is this siege called? City! ! !
Situ Yao has been on the battlefield for half his life, and he has never been so aggrieved to besiege a city. Sometimes he wonders if he is really old.

Then when he thought about it, what would he have done if he faced such a strong and unreasonable army when he was young.

As a result, after he thought about it for a long time, he realized that even when he was young, there was nothing he could do with this army.

After thinking of this, he couldn't help feeling even more sad.

After planning for half a lifetime, I thought I could successfully overthrow the Mo family, but it turned out that a lot of accidents happened, and such an outrageously strong army emerged, God is determined to fight against me ?

Situ Yao took a deep breath. He didn't believe in fate. If he believed in fate, he could go directly to the then emperor Mo Congyi, and he didn't have to take huge risks to plot against Tang Shuyu.

Therefore, even if this fate is determined by God, he has to fight against the sky.

"The strength is strong, but the battle formation is a bit messy, and the formation when retreating is even more scattered. This is obviously a new recruit."

Situ Yao thought for a while, and then called Bai Changqiu, "Changqiu, when you send out troops, bring ten thousand auxiliary soldiers."

"Bring ten thousand auxiliary soldiers?"

Bai Changqiu didn't know what Situ Yao wanted to do, so he couldn't help but startled for a moment, and then asked, "Why do you need to bring auxiliary soldiers, teacher?"

"Han Qu wants to use our people to train soldiers. In this case, I will let him 'crash.'"

Situ Yao looked at the [-] mighty army fighting outside the city, and said calmly, "In addition to bringing auxiliary soldiers, you also have to try your best to feign defeat, so that Han Qu can slowly relax his vigilance."

"Teacher, you mean to paralyze Han Qu by feigning defeat?"

Bai Changqiu understood Situ Yao's plan in an instant. He brought some auxiliary soldiers on his side, and poured water on the other side, so that the other side thought that their strength was strong, and slowly paralyzed them. After they gradually got used to his weak combat power Afterwards, replace them all with elites, and fight unintentionally with intention, then it will be easy to keep the soldiers who left the city.

"only……"

Bai Changqiu thought for a while, and he couldn't help hesitating. This plan is good, but it will lose a lot of innocent soldiers. He is afraid that the coalition forces of those noble families will disagree, "Would they agree to let those subordinates of the noble families go to die?" ?”

"It's okay, I'll talk to them about it."

Situ Yao nodded indifferently. There is no one who can survive in a war. As the leader of the three armies, he can still have the final say on this matter, "You just go."

"clear."

Seeing what Situ Yao said, Bai Changqiu didn't say any more, and directly dispatched [-] auxiliary soldiers to fight with the [-] Shenwei troops who had just left the city.

He didn't know that he had changed his opponent's Shenwei army, but he felt that the fight was handy this time, and he didn't feel that the opponent was weak at all, so he directly killed nearly ten thousand people before returning to Guangling City.

In the next two battles, the results of the Shenwei army's battles were similar every time they went out of the city.

In this case, it is reasonable to say that Han Qu and Yang Yanzhang on the city wall are difficult to find, but the last time, Han Qu sent out the rookies who played for the first time, and as a result, they killed so many people at once. It made the two of them realize something was wrong.

"That's not right."

Han Qu frowned and looked at the Shenwei army who was withdrawing troops under the city, his eyes were full of doubts. Based on previous experience, it would be good for soldiers who left the city for the first time to kill 2000 or [-] soldiers, but this time they killed [-] or [-] soldiers , and there is no loss in itself, which is obviously something wrong.

"It's not true."

Yang Yanzhang glanced at the place where the two sides were fighting was getting farther and farther away from the city gate, and suddenly understood Situ Yao's plan, he couldn't help laughing, "It seems that the old man Situ Yao is trying to show his weakness to the enemy. "

"Show weakness?"

Han Qu was startled for a moment, and then immediately understood Yang Yanzhang's meaning, "You mean, he wants to eat my Shenwei army?"

"That's right, show the enemy weakness and lure the enemy to go deep."

Looking at the soldiers who died in Situ Yao's army, Yang Yanzhang couldn't help but shook his head, and said, "This old man is really cruel. The lives of so many soldiers were just taken as bait by him."

Han Qu didn't think too much about Situ Yao's method. After all, kindness does not command soldiers. When the two armies are at war, sometimes it is inevitable to sacrifice one's own soldiers as bait, although Han Qu would not use this method. means, but he will not belittle such means too much.

"Then what should we do?"

"These two times, Situ Yao buried more than 1 soldiers. Thinking about the number of his coalition forces, he should feel a little distressed, right?"

Yang Yanzhang pondered for a moment, then said softly: "Situ Yao has laid the bait twice, and if I'm not wrong, it should be time for him to catch the net next time."

"In this case, then General Han, you should choose the five thousand strongest Shenwei troops to fight, as for the remaining 5000 people..."

Yang Yanzhang turned his head to look behind him, and ordered: "Geng Qi, Xin Yan, you two take the Chiyan Dragonrider and put on the armor of the Shenwei Army, and leave the city with the Shenwei Army later."

"This time, I'm going to let him, Situ Yao, steal a chicken without losing money!"
