Chapter 252 Wooden Round Cake
Bingsan drove the carriage out of the city with Sun Liangyuan.
It was pitch black outside the city and shrouded in fog. The snow had not yet melted completely, so the road was icy and slippery, and everyone walked very slowly.
When they arrived at the expected designated location, Su Chengnan had already reached the top of the city wall.
"Miss, why are you here so late?" The deputy general beside Zhong Yinghan hurried over and asked.
Ever since Su Chengnan effortlessly controlled the Second Prince of the White Bear Kingdom and Han Liping, Zhong Yinghan and his subordinates have respected her very much. In addition, what she did in the City Lord's Mansion was enough to demonstrate her ability, and she cooperated very well with Zhong Yinghan, so the relationship between them was pretty good. The warriors believed in her.
"I'm worried about Mr. Sun leaving the city to lay mines, so I asked someone to protect him while he's out of town."
"Well, this is all thanks to you, sir. I heard that this thing is very powerful. I hope it can come in handy."
"It will definitely be of great use! Don't worry." Su Chengnan said this with great confidence.
She thought that as long as Ningguta could annihilate the enemy troops when they arrived, the people behind would be terrified, which would be a powerful blow to the morale of the White Bear Country!
Fear is like a spark that can start a prairie fire. Once it starts to appear, it will spread quickly among the crowd, silently but deeply into the soul, and it is indestructible.
…
Outside the city, Sun Liangyuan got off the carriage.
Everyone else has already started picking up shovels and starting to work.
"Sir, is there anything special about this pit?" Qingshan asked.
"Of course! There's a pit every ten meters, and we need to dig three rows in a row. The arrangement must be neat and orderly." Sun Liangyuan rolled up his sleeves, ready to do it himself.
Bingsan quickly snatched the shovel from his hand and said respectfully, "Sir, let me do it! We are good at these physical jobs! You just stand by and watch. If you have any questions, just let me know."
Sun Liangyuan didn't bother to be polite with them and let them go.
When the first row of pits was almost dug, Sun Liangyuan carefully took out a round-cake-sized wooden simple mine from the box and prepared to put it in.
"Is this round cake a landmine? How powerful is it?" Qingshan squatted down and took a closer look.
Sun Liangyuan curled his lips and smiled, "This thing needs to be activated by weight. If a child steps on it, there is a high chance that they will escape. But if a warhorse carrying an adult man steps on it, it will explode immediately."
Qingshan raised his eyebrows, his breathing stagnated, his pupils gradually dilated, and he said excitedly: "Such a treasure is really unexpected! You are so talented, it is a blessing for Ningguta! It is also a blessing for Dayong!"
Sun Liangyuan put the mine into the pit and slowly straightened his back. "Thank you! This thing was Miss Su's idea. If it weren't for her idea, I wouldn't have thought of making it like this."
"Ah?" Several secret guards were stunned and extremely surprised.
"Miss Su, she is a truly talented person!" Sun Liangyuan sighed.
The secret guards knew the eldest lady's character and talents, and although they were surprised, they quickly accepted it. However, the other busy people did not know Su Chengnan, so even though they heard Sun Liangyuan's words just now, they did not feel much in their hearts.
Not only that, they even felt that Sun Liangyuan was exaggerating just to please the young lady. Could this unprepossessing wooden round cake really be so powerful? Not really.
"What are you thinking about! Be careful with what you have in your hands!" Sun Liangyuan scolded.
"yes!"
Everyone came to their senses and quickly steady the slightly tilted cake in their hands.
Sun Liangyuan was so angry that he frowned and yelled, "How many times have I told you! This thing must be handled with care! If you guys fail to control it properly and it explodes and you lose your life, you will have no place to cry!"
"Yes, sir, we were wrong. We will be careful." The man bowed his head and apologized.
Sun Liangyuan glared at him fiercely, suppressed his anger and said: "When you bury it, you must also leave a good fuse!" He demonstrated it again in person.
"Okay, got it." Everyone answered in unison.
After what happened just now, everyone became more cautious. No one talked anymore. Everyone focused on their own work and worked faster.
About an hour later, the group finally finished their work and went back.
Su Chengnan, standing on the city wall, finally felt relieved.
…
Inside the camp of the White Bear Country’s army.
"Report!"
"Come in."
"General, there's movement in Ningguta. They sent some people out, and they're digging something three miles away from the city gate. It's too dark to see. I only know that these people stayed there for about an hour."
"The Yong people are cunning, and they always have some strange prayer tricks." General Lei Shi said.
“Do we need to send people over to harass and investigate?” Zuo Xianfeng asked.
"No need! In the face of absolute power, any action they take will be in vain! Ningguta, we must win." Lei Shi was extremely confident. He had attributed the last failure to the problem with Zuo Xianfeng. He believed that he would definitely win.
In Lei Shi's mind, Ningguta was like a weak chick that could flutter a few times but would never be able to make any big waves.
pity……
He was wrong.
Even a chicken can change its fate.
…
Woo——
As soon as the sky was getting light, the White Bear Country army blew the horn and began to attack!
"Oh no! Oh no!"
“They’re calling!!”
"Outside the city, a large army is approaching! Someone just reported it! There are five thousand of them!"
After hearing this, Su Chengnan felt relieved.
Just five thousand people, not many.
She waved her hand and said, "Come here! Pass the order! The supply of wooden arrows and stones cannot be cut off. Everyone else, take your positions!"
"yes!"
Su Chengnan took a look inside the space. The countdown hanging high above the space had stopped at twenty-five days and there was no change. She thought to herself, this would definitely not be the final battle.
"Miss, you can stay in the City Lord's Mansion today."
"Yes, the front line is dangerous!"
The people in the yamen kept persuading her and stopped her from going out.
"During the Battle of Beiling, I was on the city wall the whole time! In terms of experience, I may have more than you. You don't have to be too nervous."
"But……"
"No buts! Everyone is not too familiar with the operation of large crossbows, so I'll go and supervise it myself. You stay in the city to coordinate the personnel arrangements! Make sure to ensure good supplies and treatment for the wounded!"
"Yes! We obey your orders!"
"Please stay safe, Miss Su!"
"Okay! I will!" Su Chengnan bowed to everyone!
Then she waved her hand!
"Let's go! We will win this battle!"
“We will win!!!”
