Chapter 534: Clever wood can't be carved

The sun is rising.

The golden sun shone across the valley, on the armor of the soldiers, on their weapons, on their reddish faces. The midsummer sun is fiery and irresistible to the heat. In such weather, it was not pleasant to wear heavy armor and thick battle robes, but the barbarian soldiers were still neatly dressed and meticulous.

Because these armors not only protect their bodies, but also their glory.

Wei Ba captured Yuecheng, and Yuecheng had more than 5,000 sets of Wu army armor, all of which were materials accumulated by Yulin County over the years, and now they have become Wei Ba's trophies. Within a few days, there were more than 38,000 people from all tribes who came to help at the invitation of Shi Kuang, and these 5,000 sets of armor were definitely not enough, so Wei Ba proposed a plan to conduct a big competition among the tribes. No matter what tribe you're from, if you finish in the top 5,000 in a tournament, you'll get a set of armor. The person who wears this armor will participate in the battle as the main force, whether you die in battle or not, this set of armor is yours, and after conquering the strict pass, you will also have a share of the division of the spoils, which will be brought back by your tribe and handed over to your family.

The barbarians are born to be brave and ruthless, and no one will show weakness. This competition not only singled out more than 5,000 elites, but also aroused a sense of competitiveness and honor among the barbarians. Now, as the winners of the competition, they refuse to take off this armor, which symbolizes honor and wealth, even if they are sweating.

What's more, there are people who are more dressed than them standing aside to make comparisons.

Wang Shuang and Hei Sha led a hundred heavy armor soldiers to stand in front of the formation, and their whole bodies were covered in polished and shining heavy armor. Holding a long knife with a full length, they lined up in two horizontal lines majestically. They had already pulled down their masks, and no one could see their expressions, but the posture like a halberd and a spear, the arrogance that looked down on the world, and the murderous aura that gave it up was enough to explain everything.

As long as they are seen, anyone will have a feeling: it is better not to make enemies with such people, otherwise they will die an ugly death, and it will be a very happy thing to be their comrades.

The soldiers inside and outside the strict gate are at this moment. All have the same mentality. But it had a very different effect. The soldiers under the city looked at these heavily armored soldiers with excitement, as if they saw the backers, and their sense of security increased greatly; And the soldiers in the city secretly complained to themselves, as if they saw the mountain that was about to be pressed down. The murderous aura that diffused from the bodies of these hundred heavy armor soldiers formed a substantial pressure. Hanging over everyone.

Everything is ready to go. Wei Ba wore a helmet and armor, and climbed the bamboo city. Take a seat at the top. Shi Kuang and Xiahou Xuan sat on either side of him, they did not wear battle armor, but wore Confucian shirts, Eguan Bo belt, which was particularly eye-catching among the crowds of warriors, diluting a little murderous aura, and adding a few points of benevolence and righteousness to Wei Ba, making him look less tyrannical.

Wei Ba waved his hand, and four big flags were raised behind him. Among them, there are two big scrolls, one of which is a flame rising, surrounded by the character "Han" in the seal script of Douda, which is the battle flag of the Han Dynasty. One side is embroidered with five colors connected to the end of the dog, surrounded by a group, in the middle is a big seal script "Wei" character, is Wei Ba's flag. Shi Kuang and Xiahou Xuan each had a big flag behind them, embroidered with their surnames.

Compared with the Han battle flag and Wei Ba's general flag, the raising of these two banners brought a stronger shock to the soldiers in the city.

Scholar? Needless to say, of course, it was a scholar who had ruled Jiaozhou for thirty years. In the eyes of the imperial court, the Shi family was a traitor to one side, but in the eyes of the Jiaozhou people, they were benevolent people who brought peace to the Jiaozhou people. And the tragic end of the Shi family is the sin created by Lu Dai. LΓΌ Dai has been beheaded, but the sins have not been paid off, and his son LΓΌ Kai will continue to face the revenge of the Shi family.

Needless to say, this is a vengeful army.

Xiahou? This compound surname is too special, although in addition to Xiahou of Qianjun, there are many people with the surname Xiahou, but when this surname is mentioned, most people will think of Xiahou of Qianjun, and they will think of the quasi-clan Xiahou clan who is inseparable from the Cao Wei royal family. As soon as I saw these two words, anyone with a little insight would think of Cao Wei. The reason is very simple, Wei Ba's concubine is a member of the Xiahou clan, if it is a Xiahou who has nothing to do with Cao Wei, how can he be qualified to sit with Shi Kuang?

Needless to say, this is Xiahou who represents Cao Wei, and this is a division of kings who represents the Taoist system.

Cao Wei and Shu Han are allied? Want to deal with Sun Wu together? As soon as this thought jumped out of my mind, I could no longer suppress it. Ordinary soldiers don't understand those vertical and horizontal, they only know the three kingdoms of the world, and now the weakest is Sun Wu, and the most unjustifiable is also Sun Wu, if Cao Wei and Shu Han join forces, Sun Wu will die.

Now that it is at the border of Jiaozhou again, the Shi family is standing by Wei Ba's side, and Sun Wu does not have any chance.

There was silence in the city, only heavy breathing, as if they were carrying a mountain, and they were overwhelmed.

Lu Kai's face was like ashes, and he was dripping with cold sweat. He turned his head sideways and glanced at Huaigen in the distance, just as Huaigen was also looking at him, holding the hilt of the knife in his hand. As soon as the eyes of the two intertwined, they immediately let go of the way, and at any time, an ominous premonition surged into the hearts of the two at the same time.

I heard that someone left the city yesterday, it can't be that Huaigen sent someone to contact her husband and want to rebel, right? Lu Kai thought.

Lu Kai looked at me like this, didn't he really want me to be a substitute for the dead ghost and borrow Wei Ba's knife to weaken my Liliang? Huaigen thought.

The two of them have their own ghosts, and they both speculate about each other in the most vicious direction.

Above the bamboo city, Shi Kuang was as calm as water, quietly waiting for the battle to begin. Xiahou Xuan's face was expressionless, he should have been calm, this was a battle that had nothing to do with him, but now he wanted to scold someone. Wei Ba rushed to control his battle flag, he had just learned about it, and he knew very well that he couldn't refuse, but he was very dissatisfied with Wei Ba's blatant use of him.

"Ziyu, you're too much." Xiahou Xuan gritted his teeth and whispered.

"Use your fame for it, what's too much." Wei Ba didn't think so, and pouted: "You don't want to think about it, if the morale of the city is low because of your prestige, end the battle as soon as possible." How many fewer people will die? These are your yin virtues, and you will be blessed in the future. You don't thank me for giving you such an opportunity, and you still accuse me, you are excessive. ”

Xiahou Xuan rolled his eyes and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "Clever words make the color fresh." ”

Wei Ba sneered: "Rotten wood can't be carved, and dung can't be on the wall!" ”

Xiahou Xuan was so angry that he almost vomited blood. You have praised me to heaven in front of Shi Kuang, and now you have reduced me to rotten wood and dung in front of Shi Kuang?

"I've told you many times that before attacking the city, what are we doing now? You can't even understand this? I think you're much worse than Yuan Rong, is it after your father passed away. The family business is sluggish. ”

Xiahou Xuan closed his mouth tightly. Arguing with Wei Ba again will only make it even more embarrassing. The victor cannot be blamed, he does not have enough merit, even if it is a lotus flower. is not as good as Wei Ba, a young man who is better than blue. If you want to fight back against Wei Ba. Only to establish a greater merit than Wei Ba. And to get to this point, he had to listen honestly to Wei Ba's lessons, even though it was really difficult.

"Beat the drums and prepare for the siege!" Seeing that Xiahou Xuan confessed. Wei Ba waved his hand and gave an order.

The heralds waved the buntings, and the naked drummers waved their arms and beat the cowhide drum vigorously.

"Knock knock...... Knock Knock...... Knock knock ......" The majestic war drums sounded, echoing through the narrow valley, converging into a torrent and rushing towards Yanguan. The strong beat of the drum should match the heartbeat of the person, as if every stroke is hitting the heart.

"Knock knock...... Knock Knock...... Knock knock ...... "Countless barbarian soldiers raised their heads, looked at Wei Ba on the bamboo city, listened to the passionate war drums, their hearts were surging, and they pumped streams of blood to their limbs and hundreds of remains, making their hands and feet numb, their skin swollen, and their bodies full of liliang, eager to fight.

"Knock knock...... Knock Knock...... Knock knock...... "The soldiers at the head of the city turned pale and trembled. Under a series of psychological blows, whether it was the Wu army soldiers under Lu Kai or the Xiongxi tribe under Huaigen, they all felt huge mental pressure. Although they were on top of a fortified city, and though they numbered eight thousand people, they had no confidence in the battle that was about to begin.

Before the battle even began, everyone was already gripped by the frustration of defeat.

That's when something even more horrifying happened. Accompanied by the rhythm of the drums, a neat sound of trumpets sounded on the opposite side, as if thousands of people were exerting their strength, and the sound of the trumpets was so majestic that it even overpowered the sound of war drums. In the overwhelming sound of the trumpet, the bamboo city, which was taller and more majestic than Yanguan, actually moved, approaching Yanguan little by little, although slowly, but extremely resolutely.

Lu Kai was dumbfounded.

A city that can move?

This city is twice as high as Yanguan, and if this city is approached, Wei Ba's crossbowmen will be standing on the top of the city and suppressing the city, and the consequences will be unimaginable. No wonder Wei Ba waited under the city for more than half a month and didn't attack, originally he was building this incredible bamboo city. With this bamboo city, attacking Yanguan is no longer an impossible task, but as easy as a hand.

I see.

Lu Kai Khan was raining down, and his eyes were blackened for a while. He speculated for so many days, but after all, he still didn't guess Wei Ba's means. A city that moves, my God, what kind of brain can come up with an idea?

Lu Kai suppressed his fear and raised his hand: "Rocketeer, prepare-"

When he saw Wei Ba's Bamboo City, even if he didn't know that this city could move at that time, Lu Kai had already thought of a way to deal with it. Bamboo is light and strong, but it also has the disadvantage of being flammable, as long as you shoot it with a rocket, Bamboo City will soon become a New Year's firecracker, and Wei Ba will be in ashes in the sound of firecrackers. Today, the unexpected movement of the city is astonishing, but it also makes it easier to attack by fire.

Lu Kai did not hesitate to give the order to prepare to shoot.

The defenders in the city were stunned by what they saw, and they couldn't react in time when they heard Lu Kai's order. Lu Kai raised his hand and gave another order, but before his order could be issued, the personal guard next to him pointed to his head and shouted: "General, look! ”

Lu Kai subconsciously raised his head, but saw that the blue sky suddenly writhed strangely, and before he could react, a heavy rain poured down on his head, drenching him into despair.

No, it's a sunny day, why is it that there is no warning at all, and it suddenly rains heavily? Lu Kai's mind went blank. (To be continued......)

PS: On Monday, ask for a recommendation ticket.

Continuing to ask for a monthly pass, the task is very arduous, and Lao Zhuang has to grit his teeth and insist and ask for monthly ticket support.
