The Reborn Wife is Farming

Chapter 353 Defending the City (2)

Mu Yangling's face darkened, "Father, there will be no leader who is so stupid as to expose himself to the range of the bow and arrow."

"The general has a four-stone bow, and the range is much farther than what we use now..."

"Father," Mu Yangling interrupted him, and said seriously: "Even if you use yourself as a guide, the opponent will never stand within 600 meters. With a bow of four stones, even if I draw the bow to the full, the range is too short. Only about 400 meters, in the end you will die in vain."

Mu Shi's face darkened slightly. He also knew this truth, but he just couldn't help thinking that if he could shoot the leader of the opponent, then the predicament of the siege might be solved.

Wu Jin on the side blinked and asked, "Does a heavier bow have a longer range?"

Mu Yangling nodded, "But the general bow is only two and a half stones, and the four-stone bow in the general's hand is already considered a good bow."

Wu Jin asked excitedly: "Then how many stones can you draw?"

Mu Yangling shook his head, "I don't know, but my strength is much stronger than ordinary people." Mu Yangling pondered for a while, and said: "Eight stones should be no problem, and if there is an eight stone bow, I almost don't need it." How can you lure me, I should be able to shoot at a range of 700 meters."

Wu Jin was a little disappointed, "You can't draw the ten-stone bow? Even if you do it now, you can't make an eight-stone bow."

Mu Yangling narrowed his eyes and asked, "Do you have a ten-stone bow?"

"I don't have one, but one of my classmates has it at home. His grandfather had someone make a ten-stone bow twenty years ago and kept it at home."

Mu Yangling became slightly excited, "You go and get it, I'll try it, maybe I can pull it apart."

There was also some hope in Mu Shi's eyes.

"That bow is in my classmate's hometown, in Changju County, and it's already dark at this time..." Wu Jin hesitated.

"You have to go even when it is dark. You go and invite people here now. I will give you a warrant. You can order people to open the side door and enter the city. It is best to get the bow back before dawn. By the way, I will send ten more people." A guard for you."

Mu Yangling directly stuffed him with two buns and let him set off, "The road is cold, you should bring some carbon, and you can change horses when passing through Mingshui County."

Wu Jin could only go to his classmates with two buns.

His classmate's surname is Xu, and his first name is Shoutu. In fact, he didn't call him that name at first. When he was just born, his grandfather gave him a nice name, Xu Jun. He changed his name to Xu Shoutu when he was only three years old.

But the ten-stone bow was made by Li Zhengye, who was guarding the pass at that time, in order to ridicule him and turned around and ran away without letting go of the arrow. After two years of construction, it was sent to Lin'an Mansion for Li Zhengye.

At that time, everyone was scolding Li Zhengye. Who didn't know the meaning of sending the ten-stone bow?

The Xu family is rich, but they can only count their names in the small place of Changju County. No one will buy it when they get it in Xingzhou Mansion, let alone Li Zhengye, the Generalissimo of the Army and Horses at that time?

They could crush them to death with a single finger, so the family knelt down on the ground, and his son stuffed the five-year-old Xu Shoutu into his grandfather's hand and shouted: "Father, if you want to scold Li Zhengye, go to the street!" It’s okay to scold, if you send this thing away, your grandson will be gone before he has time to guard the land for Da Zhou!”

So Xu Shi could only hang the bow high on the main room, so that every descendant can see it when entering and leaving the door, as a shame to the country.

Wu Jin and Xu Shoutu had a good relationship, so he told him about it as a joke, but Wu Jin thought Grandpa Xu was a very interesting person, so he remembered it.

Wu Jin ran into the academy, pulled out Xu Shoutu who had just packed his luggage and planned to go home the next day, and set off for Changju County that night.

But here, Mu Yangling ordered people to carry boiling water up the city tower, and let people pour boiling water down along the city wall. Soon, the boiling water in the ground was quickly used up.

Mu Yangling ordered the fire to continue, but this time he didn't need to boil it, he just needed to heat it until it was boiling hot, and he also recruited all the water trucks in the city.

These water trucks are used by the yamen to sweep the streets, and there are only ten of them. Mu Yangling asked people to organize two teams of death squads, and said: "Open the small door in a while, and let's go out and sprinkle water from the outside to the inside. The movement should be quieter. It's completely dark, the camp of Jinbing is fifteen miles away, and their scouts won't be very close, so it's hard to find them. Of course, the danger is also great. Once the other party attacks at night, we may I can't come back."

In the case of defending the city, it is impossible for Mu Shi to open the door for them.

In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Mu Yangling will go with them.

Mu Shi's expression was a little bad, and he asked, "Ah Ling, why do you want to sprinkle hot water?"

"Father, do you still remember that one winter was very cold and the river was covered with thick ice. Cousin Lang dug a very beautiful icicle by the river? There was a flower in it, it should be a water quilt Before freezing, the flower fell into the river, but because of the sudden drop in temperature, the ice in the river froze very thickly, and the flower was also frozen in it."

Because the river was clear, the flower was very obvious. Of course, Mu Shi remembered that Bowen liked it very much at that time and even made a fuss about it, but Liu Lang also liked it very much. Several children in the village often fought for this ice flower.

Mu Yangling smiled and said: "...Then that night, I put a cup of hot water in a cup and put it outside, and I threw a flower in it, and when I got up the next day, it froze into an ice flower. That year was very special. It's cold... Yesterday was colder than the day before, and today is also colder than yesterday. It should be because of the cold wave. The temperature should be lower this morning. If you pour hot water on the ground, it will freeze. If the ground within 600 meters outside the city wall freezes, you How long can tomorrow delay for us?"

Mu Shi's eyes lit up.

Mu Yangling sighed, if she hadn't been helpless, she wouldn't have spent time and energy doing this, it was too labor-intensive.

At night, almost all the people in the camp had fallen asleep, and Jin Bing's camp had remained silent, so Mu Yangling asked someone to open the small door quietly, and went out with someone pushing a cart or water cart.

Just open the gate of the water truck and move backwards, and the water will be sprinkled on the ground automatically. A cart can hold eight barrels of hot water. When it reaches 600 meters, two people pull the cart, and one person on each side sprinkles water on the ground.

Mu Yangling stood behind them and checked, trying not to miss any places.

It was obviously the first time that everyone was in this unprotected state, so they were very scared. At first, they were anxious and trembling. Later, when they saw that no enemy troops were coming, they let go of their hands and feet, and their movements gradually became faster.

Because life was in danger, the action was very fast. Everyone went back and forth three times and watered all the ground within 600 meters.

Mu Yangling asked people to retreat.

Jin Bing's scouts have been nesting in the nearby mountain to watch the movement of Xingcheng Pass, but the people who came out didn't use lights, it was dark, and they were far away, so they didn't notice it. In addition, it was cold in the middle of the night, and everyone was a little confused Woke up.

Mu Yangling entered the room with a cold body, drank a bowl of hot ginger tea, and then took off some cold and wet clothes, pulled the quilt over and lay down on the couch to sleep. Tomorrow will be a tough battle, but you have to raise Good spirits.

At this time, Wu Jin and Xu Shoutu were escorted back to Xu's house by ten guards who were also frozen. Twelve of them were completely sluggish with cold air all over their bodies.

Wu Jin and Xu Shoutu were sitting in the carriage holding the heater, and they could be frozen stupid even under the quilt. It is conceivable how miserable the guards on the horses were, but it was not like they had never been in such a cold day before. He has marched, so he looks much better than the two young masters.
