Chapter 198 Festival
Today’s experiment was very successful, and Huang Lao packed up his things with satisfaction and left with the people from the craftsmanship. Although General Wei was depressed about the thunderbolt, he finally gave him some comfort when he saw the catapult that was left behind and improved.
Tuoba Ren was walking around in the tent, and he did not expect the heavy casualties today.
He was calm and did not speak, and the people next to him didn’t dare to let out the air, but Song Lian let out a chuckle. Tuoba Ren looked up and said coldly, “What can Mr. Song say?”
Song Lian casually arranged her robes, and finally waved her sleeves and said, “Why should you worry about this, Your Highness? From the following point of view, it’s not worth mentioning at all.”
“What do you mean by Mr. Song? Do you have a way to deal with this thing?” Before Tuoba Ren could speak, Cha Chaqi asked.
Chachaqi’s heart is still bleeding now, and today’s thunder-like things have caused him to lose a team or two. What’s more important is that what they have seen before is very small, and the casualties are not too big. Now that this thing has a large number of casualties, and if this thing is lost on the battlefield in the future, how many of their 50,000 soldiers and horses will be left?
Song Lian shook her head, “Although there is no way to deal with it at the moment, we can find a way to prevent it. Moreover, I think, they may not have many of this thing.”
Tuoba Ren raised some interest, “How do you say this?”
“My lord, think about it, they have not used it once in the battle for so long before, but today it seems more like a temptation.”
Tuoba Ren frowned, he didn’t speak, he folded his hands in thought.
Chachaqi thought for a while, and said uncertainly: “Who knows how many ghosts they have, even if it’s not much, if we give you one or two times a day, our troops can’t stand it.”
Song Lian smiled slightly, “So, we have to take precautions. Even if they have this weapon, there is nothing they can do.”
Tuoba Ren coughed a few times and said solemnly, “How to prevent it?”
“I had a little understanding of this thing before, but this time it’s just bigger, but the truth is the same. In general, its damage and destructive power is such a wide range, our people can be spread out, and such casualties would come. It won’t have much impact.”
Song Lian spoke in a very methodical manner, and the group paused, Tuoba Ren nodded, with a gloom in his eyes, “Let’s do this, we will attack again tomorrow, but I want to see how much they are hiding. In addition, Chachaqi General, you go and capture the people in the border areas, and when our army is attacking, you should put these people in the front first to reduce the casualties of our people.”
Cha Cha Qi was overjoyed when he heard the words, patted his palms and smiled: “Yes! Why didn’t I think of this method, this minister will do it now.”
Song Lian’s face was a little unbearable, she opened her mouth, but in the end she didn’t say anything.
There are both Han and Yi people in the borderlands, but most of them are mainly Han people. Tuoba Ren ordered these people to be cannon fodder.
I am also a person with a lot of fate, how can I have pity on these ants?

160 Chapter 160
The next day, the barbarian army really changed its strategy. Seeing the bound frontier civilians in the front army, being detained by the army behind, stumbled forward, everyone fell silent.
The defenders of Shi Chongguan have been here year after year, and they have long been familiar with the people in the border areas. Seeing the familiar faces coming from outside the pass, everyone is full of resentment.
General Wei clenched his fists even more, these **** are simply not human.
How to do? If the people are spared, then the attack of the wolves behind will only make more people in Dayan suffer. General Wei gritted his teeth, “Never let them come here.”
There was someone next to him who couldn’t bear it, “General!”
General Wei waved his hand, “Think about Liangzhou, think about the people behind us!”
Everyone dared not say anything. Indeed, if they broke Shi Chongguan, the people of Liangzhou would be wiped out.
A lieutenant gave his heart and shouted, “Let the arrows go!”
No one dared to disobey the order, even though everyone couldn’t bear it, they still raised their bows, set up arrows, and shot!
They vented all their resentment on this, even though their hands were still shaking slightly, they still shot the arrows out.
The slinger looked at General Wei, “General, are we still throwing thunderbolts?”
General Wei looked at the few thunderbolts and shook his head, “Using stones, try to throw them into the pile of barbarians in the distance.”
However, the formation of the barbarians has been changed. They are sparse and not dense, and the cobblestone thrown by the enemy does not take much damage. The effect is much worse than yesterday.
General Wei frowned when he saw this scene, and only ordered in a deep voice: “The enemy has already prepared, everyone be careful.”
He looked at the horizon with unprecedented hope in his eyes. I wonder how the lord and the others are doing now. It has been so long, has their plan been successful? Withdrawing his gaze, he cast his gaze on the battlefield in front of him. In any case, he could not be entrusted by the prince, and Shi Chongguan would never be allowed to lose it.
The battle is getting fiercer day by day, Tuoba Ren and the others want to fight quickly, and the offensive is getting fiercer day by day. The thunderbolts they had been worried about were rarely fired, and so far, only three in total were fired. It seemed as Song Lian had guessed, this thing was not a popular thing.
Moreover, their soldiers spread out to attack, and the casualties caused by this thing are not as heavy as the first time. Although there are damages, they are still within the acceptable range. This time Tuoba Ren was completely relieved, and since that was the case, they didn’t have to be afraid of anything. Looking at Shi Chongguan so close at hand, Tuoba Ren’s mouth curled into a smug smile, thinking that it won’t take long to get his wish.
The corners of General Wei’s mouth were burned to death, although they were defending by virtue of their geographical advantages. But they couldn’t stand the ferocity of the enemy, the juncture had been broken several times, and their people tried their best to block the opening.
“Let’s hold on for a few more days, and the prince and General Xie will be back soon. As long as the army returns, the barbarians outside the customs will not be afraid. If we attack from front and back, we will definitely be able to defeat the barbarians and capture Tuoba Ren alive!” General Wei is cheering for everyone. Although he has no idea in his heart, he believes that the prince and Xie Yi can come back later.
I don’t know what everyone thinks in their hearts, and whether they believe his words, but everyone understands that they must stick to it. Everyone’s faces were exhausted, and the pressure on them could be imagined. They can’t collapse, and even if there is still a breath left, they will block the Yiren out of the gate.
Seeing that Shi Chongguan was in jeopardy, but from the west, a horse came at a gallop, and went straight to Tuoba Ren’s tent.
When the day was twilight, Dayan’s soldiers stood up straight again one by one, and those who were injured supported their bodies with their dicks, and also made themselves stand upright.
A new day has begun, and they are about to usher in a new round of attack by the barbarians. The broken wall was repaired last night, and I don’t know how many times it can withstand the enemy’s attack today.
Everyone is ready, they draw their bows and are ready to go, and the last thunderbolt is also equipped, just waiting for the enemy to attack.
The sun gradually rose, and the space outside Shi Chongguan was empty, not a single person was seen. This is not right, at this time in the past, the barbarians would have launched an attack long ago. But what’s the situation today? Could it be that Tuoba Ren, the sick seedling, is dying? Yesterday, I saw him riding on horseback with pride!
General Wei frowned, took out the clairvoyant hanging on his waist, and looked at the enemy’s camp, and he could see it clearly even from a height.
The patrolling guards in the enemy camp were not chaotic together, which showed that Tuoba Ren did not have a short life, nor did he have any abnormal state. But they were not in chaos, and they were not dead. Why did they suddenly stop attacking today? Could it be that they are discussing a better way to attack Shi Chongguan?
Shi Chongguan was already crumbling, and they knew in their hearts that they would not be able to hold on for long, but they never dared to think that the Yiren would give up the attack on their own.
General Wei’s brows were furrowed, and he couldn’t take it lightly. Clairvoyance did not know that only General Wei was available, and that all high-ranking generals were also assigned. A lieutenant said what he had observed from his clairvoyant eyes, and the soldiers looked at each other, wondering whether they should be happy or anxious at this moment.
“They are starting to pull out the camp!” Someone shouted in surprise.
“What?” Everyone squeezed forward to look, but it was so far apart that the naked eye could see clearly.
“Where is it?” “Is it true? Did they withdraw their troops?” “How is this possible? Did you read it wrong?”… For a while, the voices were noisy, and everyone believed it or not. , I don’t know who to listen to for a while.
General Wei naturally saw it too. The Yi people were really pulling out their camp. Are they preparing to retreat? For no reason, victory is at hand, why did they suddenly decide to retreat? Is it… is it…
Thinking of a possibility, General Wei began to breathe quickly! is this real?
The hand holding the clairvoyance trembled slightly, and he aimed the clairvoyance in his hand at the western horizon.
The sky is bright, smoke is faintly rising on the horizon, and a black line is getting thicker and rolling toward this side.
