Chapter 1005 Miao Yuefu received the battle report of the fall of Zhi County, Xiangshan County
The military camp is stationed at the rear of You County, Heting County, Cangzhou.
The coach's tent.
"Third uncle actually lost the battle?" Miao Yuefu's brown eyes calmly narrowed after hearing the report of the battle.
Mr. Qi Yang and Sui Li, who were on Miao Yuefu's personal expedition, heard the news, and their expressions became solemn.
The messengers who came to report the battle situation felt the solemn atmosphere in the camp, so they still bravely reported the whole story of the fall of Zhi County, Xiangshan County, Cangzhou in detail.
After reporting the troops, Miao Yuefu asked in a solemn voice: "How many troops were lost in the third uncle's camp in this battle?"
The messenger soldier clasped his fists and replied respectfully: "One thousand, two hundred and fifty-three dead, 531 seriously injured, and those with minor injuries are not counted."
Mr. Qi Yang asked: "Where are the enemy's casualties?"
The messenger then regained some energy, clasped his fists and reported back: "The enemy's troop losses should be almost the same as ours, at most 20%. In the end, General Miao didn't want to continue to fight like this to waste his troops.
That’s why I chose to retreat to Men County.”
"Yeah." Mr. Qiyang stroked his beard and nodded.
Sui Li frowned and said: "General Miao can lead his troops to quickly return reinforcements, and even more so, after leading his troops to return reinforcements, Zhi County has been captured by enemy soldiers and horses, and he fought fiercely with the enemy troops in Zhi County for three days. In the end,
We have just retreated to Fangmen County, which is a good use of our troops."
"Yeah." Miao Yuefu frowned and said, "It's a pity...the enemy has weapons for siege."
"Third uncle was defeated by a powerful siege weapon this time."
"Otherwise, even if Third Uncle's soldiers and horses cannot capture Chuang County of Haiyuan County, they can still lead their troops back to cooperate with the soldiers and horses in Zhi County to surround the enemy general and the more than 10,000 soldiers and horses who came to attack the city.
Strangulation.”
At the end of his words, Miao Yue's voice revealed an unconcealable anger.
Mr. Qi Yang nodded and said softly: "That Wang Ti under King Quan is really a talent."
Suili asked the messenger: "Many people in our army have seen the siege equipment used by King Quan's army with their own eyes. Can anyone draw it?"
The messenger took out two scrolls from the bamboo tube on his back and presented them to Qin Yun who was standing aside.
Qin Yun was Miao Yuefu's guard general and accompanied him every day.
Qin Yun took the scroll from the messenger soldier and first confirmed that the scrolls were the same before presenting the two scrolls to Miao Yuefu for viewing.
Miao Yuefu read the drawings of the climbing ladder and the improved bed crossbow, handed them to Mr. Qi Yang aside, and then said in a deep voice to the messenger: "Go back and tell your third uncle that the defeat in this battle is not his fault. Don't be too selfish."
Responsible for the loss of Xiangshan County and Zhi County, we will take it back later."
"The Honshu Mu is waiting for the news of his victory."
"No!" The reporter who was sent by General Miao Zhangjian had red eyes, clasped his fists loudly, bowed and retreated.
After the messenger retreated, Miao Yue turned his head and said to Qin Yun: "Give this messenger a good horse, prepare fine rations, and a new set of equipment. Don't treat him lightly."
"No!" Qin Yun nodded, walked out of the coaching camp, and asked his subordinates to make arrangements.
Showing kindness in details will most move your subordinates.
Seeing that Miao Yuefu was now well versed in the art of giving kindness, Mr. Qiyang nodded with satisfaction.
Miao Yuefu did this, and the messengers returned to Menxian County, Xiangshan County to report to General Miao Zhangjian. Through this incident, Miao Zhangjian could more clearly understand Miao Yuefu's attitude towards him.
General Miao Zhangjian was defeated in the first battle and lost a city.
Miao Yuefu took care of the messengers he sent in this way, which could be regarded as a reassurance for the general Miao Zhangjian who was fighting abroad. Miao Yuefu did not become discouraged or angry with him.
After the messenger and Qin Yun both left the commander's camp, Suili said: "My lord, let's find skilled craftsmen to imitate these two siege tools as soon as possible. We can't keep suffering from them."
Miao Yue nodded and said with a deep eyebrow: "In the past, the Honshu Mu only focused on strengthening military training, but ignored the development of weapons. King Quan actually taught me a good lesson this time."
Sui Li cupped his hands and said, "Master, let Li handle this matter."
Miao Yuefu turned to look at Suili and asked calmly: "Does Lingming have any talent for good work?"
Suili listened to Miao Yuefu's detailed inquiry and replied respectfully: "The Zhang family from the last-class aristocratic family just transferred from Haiyuan County of Kuzhou is good at work. It is not difficult to imitate the shaped attack weapon when there are outline drawings."
"Yes." Mr. Miao Yuefu nodded, and then added: "The construction of this attack weapon is urgent, so don't leave the treasure to one family."
"The aristocratic family cannot be trusted."
Especially the aristocratic families who defected from Kuzhou.
He not only wants to use them, but also needs to guard against them.
Just in case they are actually still the powerful king, or they want to play power, and finally disperse his power.
There was a cold look in Miao Yuefu's brown eyes: "There are also many poor people and common people who are good at doing things. Find them among this group of people, and you can better control them."
Suili Dun ordered: "Yes!"
When Miao Yuefu and Sui Li were talking, Mr. Qiyang had been looking at the drawings of the climbing ladder and the bed crossbow and thinking quietly. When the two of them finished talking, he said: "The two siege weapons, the climbing ladder and the bed crossbow, are different."
It’s not that there’s no way to contain it.”
Miao Yuefu turned to look at Mr. Qi Yang and asked, "How to stop it?"
"Fire." Mr. Qi Yang spit out this word from between his lips and teeth.
Sui Li was stunned for a moment, thought for a while and shook his head: "Even if this thing is hit by a flaming arrow, it won't be completely burned for a while."
"Pour oil on it and shoot it with rockets. The ladder and the soldiers in the ladder will all be safe in an instant." Mr. Qi Yang said evenly.
"Wonderful!" Sui Li high-fived.
Thinking of this fire, Sui Li then said: "General Jiang Yuehe under King Quan and his eight thousand naval troops are preparing to raid several counties along our coast. This method can also be used."
"As soon as their ships dock, we will attack them with fire and burn their ships, and these soldiers must go ashore..."
"When these naval forces come ashore, why don't they let us do whatever they want?"
Miao Yue's brown eyes flashed with joy, and he nodded: "Yes, let's do it like this."
An hour later, Mr. Qi Yang and Sui Li, who had finished discussing the matter with Miao Yuefu, left the coach's camp and went to their official camp as director.
Sui Li entered the big tent, and first went to the tea place to drink several cups of tea for himself: "My throat can't stand it when I talk too much."
Seeing Sui Li's appearance, Mr. Qi Yang shook his head in a funny way: "You should do it whenever you need it. Don't drink water just to avoid being anxious when discussing matters with the lord."
Sui Li made a bitter face: "As soon as Li drinks water, he feels like urinating, so forget it. I'd better drink less tea when discussing things with the Lord."
"So that the lord and other colleagues will not have to wait for me to come back from urination, which will be really embarrassing and waste everyone's time."
Mr. Qi Yang smiled a few times while stroking his beard, sat down opposite Sui Li, and poured himself a cup of tea.
Mr. Qiyang drank a cup of tea and wanted to pour himself another cup. He quickly filled Mr. Qiyang's cup with tea.
"Sir, Li is here. How can you fill the tea yourself? Let Li come."
Mr. Qi Yang did not delay, and said with a kind smile: "Ling Ming seems to be in a very good mood today?"
Sui Li did not hide anything from Mr. Qi Yang. Seeing that there was no one around him, he confided in his heart: "Seeing that my lord can separate important matters from personal affairs so well during the war, I feel relieved."
