The rainstorms ended in the past few days, and the clouds were sunny. Pingyang, Chu, Qi and Zhou dynasties were still in a confrontation.

The Chu army, whose troops continued to increase, was not in a hurry to attack, but continued to dig trenches, build turrets, and expand the scope of the camp.

Many charcoal kilns were built to cut wood and burn charcoal, but for some reason.

To the west, the Qi army guarding Pingyang did not dare to act rashly.

To the south, the Zhou army was also continuing to build a base and no longer hindered the Chu army camp.

A war that will break out sooner or later, all parties participating in the war are on the battlefield, but the war has not broken out for a long time, just like the brief tranquility before the storm comes. Its depressing atmosphere makes people feel a little breathless.

Huangfu Ji, who was ordered to transport military supplies to the front line, talked with his grandfather and the marshal Wei Xiaokuan about the current battle situation.

In fact, he came to the front line for the ruling Yuwen Hu to urge the generals to "be proactive".

"The enemy can be exhausted, or wait for our army to attack." Wei Xiaokuan replied, "They think they are more sure and defeat our army, so they are waiting."

"This..." Huangfu Ji felt a little embarrassed, and this answer obviously could not satisfy Duke Jin (Yuwen Hu).

Wei Xiaokuan continued: "The main purpose of this Chu army is to block our army from heading north in Pingyang. The opponent's strength must be very strong. Our army is really not sure to win the field battle."

Huangfu Ji died of both his parents since childhood. He grew up in the Wei family and had a good relationship with his grandfather Wei Xiaokuan. However, his current identity is an envoy of the court, so the two of them talk about official affairs.

Wei Xiaokuan judged that the purpose of the current Chu army was to be stuck in Pingyang, not allow the Pingyang Qi army to go north, nor did the Zhou army to go north.

If the other party wants to do this, it does not necessarily require a decisive battle. For example, now, large-scale confrontation can still achieve the goal.

Of course he didn't want to waste here, because the Chu army would inevitably have another army attacking Jinyang. Judging from the Chu army's previous record of breaking the city quickly, if Jinyang had no foreign aid, it would not be long.

Attack, you must attack, but there are some considerations to attack.

As he taught his young grandson back then, he explained the war to Huangfu Ji, who is now an adult:

"According to the military information provided by Qi, there are some powerful weapons in the Chu army. One of the weapons is like thunder. It can be used when the two armies confront each other, which can disrupt the morale of the army."

"The second weapon is similar to a large crossbow. It can shoot a blood groove directly into a crowd. The flesh and blood body cannot resist it. It can shoot directly into the city wall and destroy it."

"So, if our army lined up a large array in the wilderness to fight against it, it would probably be defeated soon under its assault, and the opponent would release cavalry to cover it and kill it. How many people could escape these tens of thousands of soldiers?"

Huangfu Ji knew the news that his grandfather said, and the Duke of Jin also knew it.

So although Yuwen Hu was a little anxious and asked him to come to the front line to urge him, he also explained that everything was more important than the coach's judgment.

The reason why he, his grandson, urged his grandfather to be the head coach was actually to relieve Wei Xiao.

Wei Xiaokuan continued to tell his views:

"Now, our army can only approach the enemy camp with step-by-step strategies, and fight against the opponent in the form of melee as much as possible."

"Fight in trenches and camps, fight with each other, rather than setting up a large formation in the wilderness."

"As long as the soldiers of both sides fight together, at least the opponent's big crossbow-type weapons will be useless."

"And our army has catapults to use, and we can shoot stones and fireballs with each other, and we can fight with each other."

Huangfu Ji asked again: "What about the enemy's weapons that looked like thunder? What should I do?"

Wei Xiaokuan replied: "I can only resist, but it seems that this weapon is just a big deal. In fact, there are not many people who directly kill and hurt them."

"More casualties are caused by being frightened and trampled on each other...

"Just tell the soldiers that this is a weapon thrown by the Chu army, not a magic trick, not a thunder attack. I think the soldiers can block it."

After talking for a while, Wei Xiaokuan said to "Yuwen Hu" (Huangfu Ji was Yuwen Hu's ears, eyes, and mouth at this time):

"Pingyang is very important to Qi State, and to our country. Once our army is destroyed in Pingyang, it is equivalent to opening the door of Guanzhong."

After saying this, Huangfu Ji was moved: "I understand."

Wei Xiaokuan was right. Although the current mission of Zhou’s army is to “rescue Qi”, it is also to save himself.

According to the military system, the Zhou army stationed in Pingyang was commanded by the commander-March Marshal, several marching general managers, with a force of nearly 50,000, which can be said to be strong.

But once something goes wrong, your side will be defeated or even wiped out, which means that the gateway to the northeast of Zhou State will be opened.

The Chu army's siege skills were very powerful, and the counterweight slaughter machine showed that Wei Xiaokuan believed that once his army broke here, Yubi City could not be defended at all, and Puban could not be defended at all.

At that time, once the Chu army in front of us moves south and heads straight for Guanzhong, how will the Zhou Kingdom, which is disposing of troops everywhere, assemble troops to defend Chang'an in a short time?

In Luoyang, if you have to defend against Chu's king Li Li, the army must not be short of it.

In the Shangluo area of ​​Wuguan Road, we must defend against the attacks of the Jingxiang Chu army, and we must not lack troops. Therefore, there are actually not many available troops in the Chang'an area.

Wei Xiaokuan knew that his army was the key to saving Qi State and an important force in defending Chang'an. Where could he take risks easily?

The grandparents and grandchildren were talking in the tent, and suddenly there was a noise outside. In the eyes of Wei Xiaokuan, who was rigorous in the military, this was intolerable.

However, he believed that there must be a cause, so he walked out of the tent to find out.

I was about to ask why the noise in the left and right camps, but I noticed that something was wrong in front of me and was stunned.

Huangfu Ji, who followed him, saw his grandfather being stunned, so he followed his eyes and was also stunned.

In the northeast, several huge "heads" appeared above the Chu army camp.

These huge heads have eyes, nose, mouth, and look ferocious, with wide eyes, as if monsters poked their heads out of the clouds and looked down at the ground.

Search for living people on the ground, then open bloody mouths and pounce on them to swallow them.

This scene was beyond the scope of Huangfu Ji's understanding, and he felt a chill on his back and his scalp numb.

"The Chu army does have flying equipment." Wei Xiaokuan suddenly spoke, causing Huangfu Ji to look at him in a panic.

"It was said that when Hou Jing besieged Liangdu Jiankang, he encountered Feitian's huge head." Wei Xiaokuan looked at his left and right and slowly said what he knew.

"Later, Gao Yang, the leader of Qi, led his army to besiege Hanshan, Xuzhou, and encountered Feitian's huge head. Obviously, this was some kind of equipment, not a magic trick."

After he said this, he calmed down and looked at the big head in the sky again, but his face began to become solemn.

If this is a device, it means someone is on it.

By being condescending, you can see clearly the situation of their camp.

Wei Xiaokuan looked at the huge heads floating in the air and thought of a possibility.

This is an unprecedented enemy, and some combat methods are incredible and unpredictable.

But fighting is actually that's the case. No matter how fancy the methods are or how many changes are, they will never be separated from the essence.

The opponent releases this thing and floats in the air, which is very likely to be preparing for the attack.

The Chu army could have confronted each other, but chose to attack. Wei Xiaokuan believed that the head coach of the Chu army was very sure of winning.

"Don't think that the Chu army will be able to deal with the Chu army without the imperial commander in person."

After Wei Xiaokuan finished speaking, he looked at his grandson. The next thing he wanted to say was actually for Yuwen Hu to listen to.

"The enemy released this thing to see the reality of our army, so we will attack soon. If this attack is victorious, the next battle may not be stopped in Pingyang, and may go south."

"You will return to Beijing immediately, and you must not delay it. Please mobilize the army immediately to defend Kawazu to prevent accidents!"

Huangfu Ji was shocked when he heard this: My grandfather's words seemed to be explaining his funeral!
