The Life Through Books of the Salted Fish Family - #726 - Chapter 719 Old Antiquities
As soon as Yan Laoer led his people up the tower, he heard a clear eagle cry in the rain.
Looking up, Jiuxiao spreads its wings and hovers in the sky.
He waved quickly.
“Jiuxiao, come down!”
The sky fell in response, and the eagle’s claws were like hooks, standing on the city wall.
Yan Laoer took the letter from it.
At first glance, it was his brother’s handwriting.
It said that they encountered heavy rain on the way and it was difficult for the prince’s army to march. They had chosen to camp where they were to avoid the heavy rain before continuing their march.
Yan Laoer hurriedly said: “Send it back when I finish writing it.” He added another instruction: “I’ll give this letter to the waiter.”
Jiuxiao nodded.
Yan Laoer stepped forward and hugged it.
Jiuxiao only stared at him with her eyes and did not resist.
Yan Laoer chuckled.
They say they are looking for a place with no wind or rain, but in fact they are looking for a place with no protection from others.
Then he placed Jiuxiao upright in front of him.
“Jiuxiao, record it, go back and show this video to the waiter.”
Jiuxiao’s answer was that the eagle’s eyes were shining.
Yan Laoer knew that this had already begun.
He straightened his back, moved his head a little forward, and lowered his voice to avoid being overheard: “Dabao, has the letter been delivered? Come back as soon as you have delivered it. Dad has made a big discovery here! Let Jiuxiao return to the top of the city. , you know what dad is talking about. It’s really hanging. Fortunately, we used our identity as Prince Qi’s son to deceive the city gate. Otherwise, Zhuyuan City would be really difficult to fight. When dad demolishes this and goes back, he must ask Let me ask your master, they are all border towns. How is our Huju City different from Zhuyuan City? Ah? Why do they have such a big killer and we don’t?”
After Yan Laoer asked this question, his face wrinkled and he asked himself: “Most of them are poor again!”
“Dad has confiscated the blacksmith shop in this city. All the people and things have been sent back. Please remind your master to receive it covertly and covertly. Do you understand? These are things the rear army does not want. They will belong to us in the future.”
He rambled on about his propaganda work again, “…If we give it a few more days, someone will definitely follow us. Now dad is really too busy. Tell me, the prince has also discovered dad’s abilities. He has a sharp eye for pearls.” Oh him, I said I was cleaning the battlefield in Zhuyuan City, but he didn’t do it. Hehehehe, he just fell in love with your father’s post-war job. Dabao, let me tell you, people who know how to fight are good, but not like your father. It’s rare to find an all-rounder who can carry a sword and bring peace to the people!
I tried my best to buy some time, but those losers in the rear army only brought food and weapons. Isn’t that blind? There are many good things, but I didn’t even look at them carefully. I just gave them a quick hug!
Dabao! You said it would be better if you didn’t leave. If we cooperate, nothing that can be taken away from Zhuyuan City will be left to King Qi. It’s a pity that we can’t occupy this city…”
…
Yan Yu finally got away from the King of England and saw the video letter her father sent her through Jiuxiao.
Her little face was as wrinkled as her father’s.
He muttered: “Why can’t we occupy it?”
The child understood why, and sighed as he walked back with Jiuxiao in his arms.
“Xiao Er, what did your father write to you secretly? And you read it behind your back?” King Ying kept looking out curiously. When he saw Xiao Er coming back, he couldn’t help but ask.
“My father said that he found a large crossbow in Zhuyuan City. It was placed on the wall. The base was plastered with plaster. He wanted to dismantle it. It should be on the way now.” Yan Yu replied.
“What?” King Ying’s eyes widened and he stood up, “Your father, did you dismantle the bed crossbow on Zhuyuan City?”
Yan Yumeng nodded, looking at his expression, and asked puzzledly: “Your Highness, can’t it be dismantled? Also, why does Zhuyuan City have big crossbows, no, bed crossbows, we Huju don’t have them, Yongning No, Gu Feng, Chang Ping, Long Xing and Feng Ming are all gone!”
What a coincidence, she has been to all the big cities in Guanzhou.
The King of England thought for a moment and said hesitantly: “It’s not impossible.”
“It was left by the previous dynasty, not made by this dynasty. Xirong once built a royal court in the previous dynasty to unify the outside world. At that time, Xizhou Mansion was the main battleground. The king’s tent was destroyed by the army of the previous dynasty and massacred. The king’s branch and the tribes were scattered in all directions, so that the pattern of Xirong and Beirong existed.”
“When this dynasty was founded, foreign barbarians were ready to move and often came to harass the border, so they granted the princes a fief and stationed themselves on the border…”
The old King of Qi is His Majesty’s elder brother. He was sealed off from Guanzhou Prefecture, following the example of this imperial uncle.
At that time, the ministers in the court proposed that he be the oldest among the princes in Xizhou, and he was granted the title of King of England and held Beiguan.
“Your Majesty, the rear army doesn’t want that bed crossbow. My father worked so hard to dig it down from the city wall, and it belongs to us. You can’t worry about it.” Yan Yu looked at the King of England warily.
The picture sent back by Jiuxiao was super high-definition, and she saw it really. Let’s call the bed crossbow, the correct name should be called the three-gong bed crossbow, or the eight-oxen crossbow.
But if you are not the boss, no one can play it, and it takes eight or nine strong men to practice it.
Its name has been left in many novels, and it is a weapon for attacking and defending cities. Before artillery became popular, it was undoubtedly a super killer weapon on the battlefield.
The King of England didn’t know whether to laugh or cry: “Your father dismantled it and could not reinstall it. The drawings of the bed crossbow have been lost long ago. If it is still there, why would the cities of Guanzhou not use it?”
“It all depends on the person. You won’t know until you try.” Yan Yu is full of confidence. She has the strongest support and it is only a matter of time before she can reinstall herself.
Try it on your own first, but if you really can’t figure it out, you’ll be able to figure it out when the platform opens and connects to the uncle!
“Your Majesty, is there a big crossbow at the top of Wangxiang City? Can it still be dismantled?” Yan Yu asked with her little face raised, her eyes full of expectation.
“Why dismantle it? I didn’t lie to you, it really can’t be installed.” The King of England said helplessly: “If you want, just dismantle it. The bed crossbow needs to be trained by a dedicated person to use it, fill the crossbow with a length of ten feet, and shoot one shot at a time.” Fill in, the gap is long, it is difficult to form an array unless there are too many. Since the map was lost, it is difficult to copy the crossbows left by the previous dynasty. They are discarded after use. This dynasty has not used them for a long time. It is only troublesome to dismantle them, so they can be erected in the old city. superior……”
I didn’t expect your father to dig up this old antique!
“Okay! We have decided that the prince will take it down and it will all be ours!”
“Here you go, here you go!” the King of England said with a fond smile.
“Your Majesty, I want to go and greet my father.” Yan Yu showed two rows of white teeth and smiled cutely.
“It’s not successful now. The King of Qi has probably realized that he may send troops at any time. The prince is going to visit his hometown… I hope everything goes well, waiter, feed Jiuxiao some fine water, deliver the letter in the rain, and go back and forth several times. Thank you for your hard work.” “
The King of England couldn’t help but stretched out his hand, but Jiuxiao didn’t touch him and touched it!
He was surprised and excited, and carefully touched it two more times.
Be satisfied and stop when you are good.
“Then they are quite dangerous, and they need me to deal with them even more!” Yan Yu nodded heavily, as if convinced by this powerful reason. “My lord, please send me some troops. I will ask my master to borrow a few more men. If we go back and forth in this city, we can get a lot of them together. Don’t worry, I will only respond and not rush forward.”
Yan Yu promised swornly. (End of chapter)
