Chapter 108 This prince uses his head to apologize to the Northern Yan army
For defense purposes, city gates are generally built very high, especially in mountainous cities, as they serve as barriers for mountainous cities.
Therefore, as long as we defend the city gates and repel the enemy, the city can be defended as long as the gates are not broken.
But it would be different if we could attack directly into the city.
Once the city is attacked by a rain of rockets and kerosene, the inner city will be in chaos, and there will be countless casualties.
Everyone spoke out and discussed:
"The fire attack is indeed very clever. If we were to attack the city from outside, the garrison would be unable to hold on."
"If they escape then, this Chongshan City will be ours."
"But the question is, how can we climb the cliff mountains?"
"Yes, Princess Wang, this is the most important thing."
"I've already thought about this." Cui Si narrowed her eyes. "Yesterday, my military advisor and I went to watch the battle. Standing on the top of the mountain, I felt the wind was a bit strong. For a moment, I thought of the kites I played with as a child."
"I thought, if the kite flies up into the wind, and the wind is strong enough, could it carry people to a high place, like the top of a steep mountain range?"
Use a kite to carry people up?
This is the first time I've heard of this idea.
Everyone was a little confused.
If I think about it carefully, it seems possible, but it also seems unlikely.
Someone asked, "Wang Ji, is it really reliable? You must know that if someone goes up there, it would be very dangerous if they fall down. If they move, they will die."
"that is."
Cui Si said, "Don't worry, everyone. Let's try it out first. Then fill a few baskets with dirt and rocks and tie them to the kite.
If it's safe, we'll send a few people with strong Qinggong skills up there. If it's not safe, we'll continue to improve it."
Experimenting with dirt and rocks?
This is safe... At least if it falls down, it won't hurt anyone. If it can really go up...
Everyone's eyes lit up.
If we can get up there, we don't need a lot of people, just a few dozen or a hundred people, and some kerosene and arrows, which will be enough to give Chongshan City a lot of water.
In this way, they can avenge the hidden arrow attack from Chongshan City and the harm done to their master.
"Princess Wang, this is a brilliant plan!" Xu Dazhi slapped his thigh. "If this works, Chongshan City will be too busy to take care of itself, and the siege will be much easier."
"Exactly. If they are defeated, Chongshan City will be ours."
Shangguan Tong nodded: "It's just that this matter needs to be done as soon as possible. It's not good for us to keep deadlocked at the moment. Moreover, if the court sends more reinforcements, it will be disadvantageous to us."
"And there's also Jiang Shao. He's nowhere to be found, but we have to consider him as part of the incident. Furthermore, the first person to go up there must investigate one thing."
"We can find a way to climb the cliffs. The enemy has occupied Chongshan Pass for many years, so this may not be impossible. If we find any traces of people, we will retreat immediately and discuss it later."
Shangguan Tong added a few omissions, and now it can be considered foolproof.
Cui Si nodded: "Of course it has to be done as soon as possible. I need the help of craftsmen."
Yan Xingchuan said, "Whoever you want, just go and send him."
After saying this, Yan Xingchuan asked everyone, "Do you have any other method that is more reliable than this?"
Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.
"So now, who's for and who's against?"
Everyone looked at each other again. Even though some people were dissatisfied with Cui Si, a woman, meddling in the battlefield, they could not come up with a better solution and dared not say a word.
Yan Xingchuan continued, "Then the battle for Chongshan City will be handed over to Princess Wang and the military advisor. Princess Wang will be in charge of the cliffs, and the military advisor will be in charge of the siege outside the city. The two of you will cooperate, and all the soldiers will await orders and deployments."
Everyone stood up: "I obey your command!"
When the meeting was over, it was already noon when we came out.
Cui Si ate little and was a little hungry now. She hurried back to the tent to eat a few bites, and then took people to select craftsmen.
In the following days, Cui Si was busy making kites.
Fearing that the kite was not suitable, she also had people make huge Kongming lanterns and hot air balloons. As long as one of them could send people to the top of the steep mountains, the task would be half done.
Chongshan City still tightly guarded its gates and refused to fight.
The Northern Yan army persevered and shot and killed ten people in one day.
If there is no one defending the city, then send people to attack it and retreat after killing ten people.
And half a month later, on a dark and windy night, under the cold moonlight, a huge kite landed on the mountain...
......
"Waste! Waste!" The soldiers defending the city were killed every day, and General Fei became increasingly irritable.
The longer he stayed in this place, the more uneasy he felt, especially in recent days, he often dreamed that he was killed by a sword and his head and body were separated.
Can't stay here any longer.
Go, go quickly.
General Fei was extremely panicked. He gritted his teeth and made a decision. He asked his personal guards and servants to pack up some things and leave under the cover of night.
But before he could walk out of the door, a sword suddenly appeared in front of him.
Fei Jianjun looked up along the sword tip and saw a man with a gloomy and cold face.
He was so frightened that he stepped back repeatedly.
"Jiang...Jiang Shao...ghost...ghost——"
Before he could finish his words, a sharp sword was placed on his neck.
The scream that was on the tip of his tongue stopped abruptly.
Jiang Shao was wearing a dark black robe, with the sleeve of his right arm empty. He held the Yellow Dragon Sword in his left hand, with a cold expression on his face.
Being stared at like this, Fei Jianjun felt a chill running down his spine.
"Jiang...Prince Jiang...you're still alive. It's truly a blessing that you're still alive...The Northern Yan army is truly daring, threatening to 'kill ten people a day if the gates aren't opened.' You..."
Jiang Shao threw the Yellow Dragon Sword into the hands of his personal guard, then stepped forward and grabbed Fei Jianjun's face.
"Who told you to close the city gates? Who told you to close them?"
Previously, when Jiang Shao led the army to fight, he brought 20,000 Jiang family soldiers with him. After being locked outside the city gate, at least 10,000 of them were slaughtered by the furious Northern Yan army. The remaining scattered soldiers who were recalled by him were only 3,000.
"Tell me, who told you to close the city gate?"
"I, I, I..." Fei Jianjun was terrified when he saw the coldness in Jiang Shao's eyes.
It looked like a demon crawling out of hell.
He didn't dare say that he ordered the city gates to be closed because he was afraid that the Northern Yan army would break into the city.
At that time, Jiang Shao had disappeared, and the deputy general and the Jiang family army were all outside the city. Naturally, he, as the military supervisor, was in charge of the situation in the city.
"It's really a thing that can only do more harm than good."
Jiang Shao reached out and took the Yellow Dragon Sword from his personal guard, then with a cold flash of the sword, Fei Jianjun's head and body were separated immediately.
A head rolled to the ground with its eyes wide open.
Die with eyes open.
"Go, take the head of General Fei to the Northern Yan army and tell them that the treacherous minister was the one who launched the attack that day. This prince will use his head to apologize to the Northern Yan army."
"As for the battle between this prince and the King of Northern Yan, since this prince has not yet conceded defeat, there is naturally no need to open the Chongshan Pass. If you have the guts, have Yan Xingchuan come out and fight this prince again..."
