Chapter 1476: A surprise for Qingzhou (1)
Miao Youfang was unconvinced. He leaned on his knife and chewed on his cornbread.
“I like to sneak attack people at night, because I need to sleep at night. It’s the most relaxed time.”
Xu niannian patted the wooden barrel filled with kerosene by his feet and smiled.
“Our oil is not only used to burn the enemy, it can also be used as light at night. They were thrown down by the catapults, and the soldiers could see the situation clearly from the top of the city wall.
“And the enemy soldiers can’t see the arrows that are shot from the top of the city wall.
“This move of yours is only suitable for a sneak attack before the battle.”
But now, both sides were prepared for an offensive and defensive battle.
Miao Youfang felt that this scholar’s words made sense. After thinking for a while, his eyes lit up.
“What if the other party sends out an expert?”
Xu Erlang looked at him silently. I ordered the military experts to patrol at night. What are they guarding against? ” he asked.
Miao Youfang was convinced and gave him a thumbs up.
as expected of Xu yinluo’s younger brother. He’s like an older brother.
The corner of Xu Erlang’s mouth twitched slightly. He thought to himself, ” you’re just like my big brother. You have a vulgar style.
He knew that Miao Youfang was his brother’s follower. The last time his brother returned to the capital, the two had met a few times. On the day before he was ordered to guard Songshan County, Miao Youfang suddenly came to his door and wanted to fight with him.
Xu Erlang asked if he was sent by his big brother.
Miao Youfang shook his head and said, ” protecting the country is what a man should do.
A rank-5 huajin martial artist had taken the initiative to join them, and his identity was not a problem. The military naturally welcomed him with open arms, and so Miao Youfang followed him to Songshan County.
“However, there are too few experts in the garrison. There’s only one rank-4.” Miao Youfang shook his head.
“Fourth-grade experts are all in high positions, so naturally, there are very few of them.” Xu Erlang responded.
“Rare? I’ve followed Xu yinluo to the north and south, and I don’t even care about fourth stage realm trash.”
Miao Youfang said smugly.
You also know that she was following my big brother … Xu Erlang placed his hands on the parapet and said slowly, ”
“To me, I don’t care about the officials of the court. But brother Miao has seen a few of you before.”
At the level that his big brother was involved in, the opponents he was facing must be the highest level of a certain force, and the higher level of a big force was naturally the top group of people in the nine states.
Rank-4 was naturally not rare.
However, in Qingzhou, a small county like Songshan, a rank-4 was a high and mighty figure.
There was only one rank 4 commander in the defense Force of Songshan County, the same rank as Xu Erlang.
The commander was in charge of guarding the north gate.
Xu Erlang didn’t want to dwell on this topic. He took a breath of the cold night wind and said, ”
“I remember big brother saying that your goal is to become a famous hero of the generation. However, in the land of war, it was difficult for good deeds of you serving justice to spread. Because the person you save today might die tomorrow.
“The refugees were either saved by the great fengjun or the rebel army. They were tossed here and there like goods, and they would not deliberately remember a certain swordsman who had helped them.
if you want to be a hero, you have to go to a peaceful place. Just rob the rich to help the poor and there will be legends about you in the Jianghu.
Regarding the question of New Year’s, Miao Youfang scratched his head and thought for a while.
“I’m definitely going to be a hero.
“But I’m still in my Prime, and it doesn’t matter if it’s a few years earlier or later, but Da Feng is already old. If I can’t extend its life, then there will really be a change of dynasty.
“In fact, as far as I’m concerned, who the Emperor is is none of my business.
“But to the common people, this is a calamity. If Qingzhou could not be defended, the flames of war would spread to the North and all the way to the capital. Tens of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains along the way would be turned into scorched earth.
so I was thinking, could we suppress the rebel army in Qingzhou and stop the war in Qingzhou? ”
Xu niannian was a little surprised. He smiled and said, ”
“Brother Miao has really made me see you in a new light. In the pugilistic world, there are very few chivalrous people who love their country and people like you.”
Miao Youfang shrugged his shoulders.
“No, actually, I don’t have a good impression of the Imperial court of great Feng. It’s just that when I parted with Xu yinluo, he said something to me.
“The reason why he nurtured me and guided me in my cultivation was because someone gave him a chance back then. All he wanted was for him to become a useful person to the Imperial court and the people.
“Xu yinluo did it. She didn’t let that person down.
so, I don’t want to disappoint Xu yinluo.
Big brother didn’t pick the wrong person … Xu Erlang nodded silently. He was about to speak when he heard Miao Youfang’s expression change and he shouted, ”
“The enemy is pushing the cannons over!”
Xu niannian’s heart trembled. He looked into the distance, but the night was dark and he couldn’t see anything. However, he knew that Miao Youfang was a fifth-grade martial artist, and his eyesight was far better than ordinary people’s, so he didn’t question him. He shouted, ”
“Beat the drum!
“Prepare the cannons and the ballistae.”
The soldiers resting against the parapet and the soldiers sleeping on the horse track in light armor were all jolted awake. They moved in an orderly manner and loaded the shells and crossbows.
Miao Youfang pushed away a Cannoneer, personally adjusted the angle, and lit the fuse.
BOOM!
A ball of fire expanded and lit up the distance, allowing the guards on the city wall to clearly see the enemy who pushed the cannons closer in the dark.
The flames of the explosion had not subsided, but the ballistae and cannons on the city wall opened fire one after another, pouring fire on the enemy.
The advantage of the defending Army was immediately apparent. Because the cannons on the city wall were on high ground, their range was further than the enemy’s cannons.
