Chapter 353 What do they want to do

Decisive closing.

Standing on the city tower, Chen Tianfang looked at the generals Chu Wudi and Chu Feng and asked: "Two generals, do these Silver Moon soldiers want to trap us in this decisive battle?"

Chen Tianfang looked at the Silver Moon army setting up camp outside the city and said with a wry smile: "Isn't that what they mean?"

Chu Feng looked at Chu Wudi and asked: "General, how about the last general leading his troops out of the city to fight with them?"

Chu Wudi glanced at him, pointed at the siege vehicles lined up in a long snake formation outside the city, and said, "What can we do to fight them head-on? Use iron cavalry to charge?"

He understood that at a distance of three hundred feet, before his cavalry started to exert force, they had become a target for other people's bow and arrow chariots, and they didn't even have to take aim.

"What should we do? We can't just stay in the city and wait around?" Chu Feng replied bitterly.

Chu Wudi looked at the anxious look of the two people and said with a smile: "Why are you so anxious? Let's go back and talk to the princess and the generalissimo and see how they respond."

Chu Feng thought for a while and said: "I will go back to find the Generalissimo and see what to do."

After saying that, he turned around and walked down the tower.

...

Outside the city, Ye Hui, who had set up camp, looked at Ye Wuming and said, "Send the soldiers to dig two deep pits one foot deep two hundred feet outside the city."

"Does the general want to imitate the marshal of Chu in digging holes?" Ye Wuming said with a smile.

Ye Hui looked at him and shook his head, saying, "Of course not. The princess asked us to build two stone buildings outside the city to cover when we attack the city."

"Shilou?" Ye Wuming was really confused this time.

"The princess has long sent thousands of soldiers to break stones in the mountains, and they will soon be able to reach the outside of the decisive battle pass. We will build two unprecedented stone towers outside the decisive battle pass outside the city!"

When Ye Hui thought of what Qingyue told him and looked at the scene outside the decisive battle pass, he had already anticipated the battle in the near future.

Just imagine, under the suppression of the bows and arrows of the two stone towers, what could the Chu army at the decisive battle have to do to fight against the Silver Moon army?

Maybe, as Princess Qingyue expected, if the stone tower is not completed, the general who will win the battle will choose peace talks to end the war. This is what he and Princess Qingyue hope for.

Just like Princess Qingyue told him: The most powerful one is the one who can make the opponent surrender without taking risks to attack the city.

If our side can win the decisive battle without spending a single soldier, it will be the best result for the enemy and our side.

Ye Wuming did not ask further questions, but turned around and left after receiving the order.

In the late afternoon, the soldiers of Dachu who were on the upper floor of the decisive victory gate found that Yinyue's army started to dig holes under their noses, and they all started to curse. This Yinyue soldier actually followed the marshal's example of digging holes and burying people.

After hearing the news, Li Xiuyuan took Chu Feng to the tower. He looked at the Yin Yue soldiers who were digging enthusiastically and shook his head lightly.

His trump card was no longer a human force, and he had dismissed these tricks, waiting for the moment when the opponent attacked the city and launched an attack.

"Let them go, as long as they don't get close to us." Li Xiuyuan looked at what the other party was doing, shook his head and sneered secretly.

Chu Feng was stunned, looked at him and asked: "Why is this? Isn't the Generalissimo afraid that they will suppress us after they build it?"

Li Xiuyuan looked at the Silver Moon army two hundred feet away and replied calmly: "You want them to try?"

...

The decisive battle is over.

Qingyue stood in front of the lined-up chariots and shields, looking at the decisive battle tower with a solemn expression.

In order to deal with the Chu army, she prepared two hundred siege chariots. In his opinion, if Chu Feiyan was unwilling to surrender, then the decisive battle would be captured.

After the ten-mile trench war outside the decisive victory pass, the Chu army retreated to the decisive victory pass.

This was originally Da Chu's territory. When they returned to Sa, Da Chu seemed to have never thought of counterattacking and taking back the ten-mile trench. Unexpectedly, this became the reason why Qing Yue attacked the city and built buildings.

Although Yinyue spared no effort in manpower and material resources and had been investing continuously for more than half a year, after all, the line was too busy and the supplies in the city were limited.

Hundreds of thousands of Silver Moon cavalry have not found any supplies in the city since they occupied Black Salt City, and they can only rely on the rear to supply supplies to the army.

The most troublesome thing right now is the issue of food and grass supplies.

There is a lot of food stored in Black Salt City, but with the addition of 50,000 horses, the pressure on it is increasing day by day.

They can barely sustain it for a while now, but if the food and grass from the rear cannot be transported in winter and they are unable to conquer the decisive battle, then Black Salt City will be in danger of running out of food.

All kinds of problems and troubles emerged one after another. Neither Princess Qingyue nor Qin Miaoyu dared to imagine what Black Salt City would look like after food was cut off.

At this critical moment, she just made a desperate move and attacked this isolated city with all her life.

Because she was frightened by the shocking fire outside the decisive battle, Qingyue felt that Li Xiuyuan and Chu Feiyan in front of her were incompetent, and she wanted to use her own wisdom to defeat these two proud people.

"Your Royal Highness, the stones needed to build the stone tower have been transported to the decisive gate today, and construction of the stone tower can begin tomorrow." General Ye Hui said quietly while looking at Qingyue.

Qingyue looked at the Dachu soldiers standing at the top of the city not far away, looking at her quietly, and said with a smile: "They will not look back until they hit the south wall, and they will never surrender."

"What should I say?" Ye Hui looked at her and asked.

Qingyue looked at him, thinking about what Li Xiuyuan told her, and said coldly: "Only by beating them up will they think of surrendering and negotiating peace."

"Their bottom line is that we destroy the Black Salt City, and our bottom line is to win the decisive battle. In this way, we will not sit down and negotiate until we finish this final battle."

With her own side having an absolute advantage, Qingyue couldn't figure out the reason for leaving Black Salt City. This was also the idea of ​​several generals.

In their view, even if they fail to reach the decisive stage, it is still a very easy thing to hold on to the black salt.

When the time comes, they will use Black Salt City as an excuse to blackmail the Chu Kingdom, which will at least squander them for decades.

As long as the two huge stone buildings in front of us are completed, it will be the day of the siege.

Watching the commanding army set up formation outside the city, Qingyue once again realized the power of taking the initiative in war.

"In the face of our heavy weapons, they will die as long as they go out of the city to fight. Starting from tomorrow, the army will go all out to build these two stone buildings, and we will attack the city as soon as possible."

In her opinion, this war must end by autumn at the latest, otherwise delaying it until winter would be courting death.

Neither Da Chu's army nor Silver Moon's army could face the severe cold in the north.

She felt deeply powerless about this.

He didn't even have the energy to go hunting with Qin Miaoyu.

Just because she knew that as long as she didn't see these two stone buildings completed, she would not be able to sleep all day.

After all, once the stone building is completed, the initiative will be in your own hands. What can the other party use to negotiate terms with you?

"Remember, we have to send out a large army to stay on duty at night. We can't let the other side launch a sneak attack. We'll start building the building tomorrow." After thinking twice, Qingyue said to General Ye Hui.

Ye Hui, who was full of confidence, looked at her without saying anything. The two of them had the same mind and did not need too many words.

"Judging from the current situation, it's only early summer. If it had been winter, I believe they would have opened the city gates and surrendered long ago." Ye Hui looked at her and said with a smile.

...

Li Xiuyuan sat in the city lord's mansion, quietly looking at Xiao Long'er who lowered his head and wrote.

Xiao Qing followed Chu Feng to go shopping and buy food. Li Xiuyuan left Xiao Long'er in the city lord's mansion and stared at her writing. If she didn't complete the task today, she wouldn't be allowed to eat.

Just because Xiao Longer was too young and lacked the willpower to control himself.

He was helping her develop this willpower, so he could only sit aside and wait quietly.

He knew that there was a woman outside the city who was testing his willpower, waiting for him to send someone to open the heavy city gate, sue for peace and surrender to her.

"I'll stand here and trap you from summer to autumn, and then from autumn to winter. I don't believe you can defeat my sword from the sky!" Looking at the decisive victory gate tower, Li Xiuyuan laughed lightly.

.

Xiao Longer, who was sitting beside him, was puzzled and looked at him with confusion. He couldn't help but reached out to touch his forehead and said with a smile: "Brother, do you have a fever again?"

Li Xiuyuan looked back at Xiao Longer, who had a drop of ink on his face, and said with a smile: "Sister, you will get ink on your face just by writing."

After saying that, he took out the hand towel and wiped her gently with the water in the pot.

When Xiao Long'er heard this, he looked at him and chuckled: "It was my brother who asked Xiao Long'er to write, otherwise I wouldn't have turned into a little cat!"

Li Xiuyuan looked at her and said with a smile: "How is your sword practice going with Sister Xiaoqing?"

Xiao Long'er lowered his head and thought for a while, then said after a while: "Some time ago, Xiao Long'er was worse than Sister Xiao Qing, but now, Sister Xiao Qing seems to say that I am almost the same as him?"

Li Xiuyuan looked at her confident look and said softly: "Try another day and see if you make any progress? After all, you will go to the Shura battlefield with me next year."

Xiao Longer pretended not to see it, lowered his head, held the wolf hair in his hand and continued to trace the words one stroke at a time.

...

Suddenly, a strange phenomenon occurred before the decisive battle between the two armies.

The army under the city was busy building the stone building belonging to the Silver Moon Army. While shouting slogans, they moved the huge stones one by one, mixed the mud, and then patiently built the house.

The Dachu An army on the tower city was at ease and content, as if the army outside the city were their hired help. They didn't even want to take a second look at it. It was too hot today, and most of them were hiding in the shade to enjoy the coolness.

There was even a rare harmony between the two sides. They were at peace with each other and there was no voice of abuse.

Ye Wubei, who had recovered from his injuries but was missing an arm, came to the front of the formation, looked at the two stone buildings that had been built several feet high, and shook his head gently.

Looking at Ye Wuming, he said: "I don't understand. Is the marshal of Da Chu a pig-brained person? He allows you to build buildings here but doesn't go out to start a war. Is he that cowardly?"

Ye Wuming looked at Ye Wubei and said proudly: "We have no retreat. We can only build these two fortresses as soon as possible and then launch an attack."

"Do we need a retreat? It seems that the day we set off from the Imperial City, our retreat was cut off." Ye Wubei looked at him and said with a wry smile.

Ye Wuming looked at his thin body and asked softly: "What do you think, Her Majesty the Princess? Can you ask the eminent monk of Thousand Buddhas Temple to find the elixir for arm regeneration for you?"

Ye Wubei looked at him and smiled bitterly: "We'll talk about this later. What should we do if we're not used to it? We are all soldiers. When we go to the battlefield, we will think of such a day."

"Being able to recover is always a good thing and is worth looking forward to." Ye Wu understood him and thought, "I also know your difficulties. If it were me, could you treat me like this?"

"Two generals, please invite me to the princess palace." The guard behind him came over and said to the two of them.

"I know, let's go down." Ye Wuqi waved his hand, then looked at Ye Wuming and smiled: "I guess the princess has come to us to discuss the attack, and it's almost time."

At the thought of the upcoming attack, Ye Wubei was in a good mood and started teasing Ye Wuming.

"General, if you can conquer the decisive battle in this battle, you will have made a great contribution!" Ye Wubei glanced at him and said with a smile.

Ye Wuming pretended to be a little surprised and replied: "Sir General, don't you know how to participate in the siege?"
