Xiao Xiang walked into the room. When she saw Tang Yin, she first bowed blessings, then smiled and said, "I apologize for disturbing Your Highness late at night. I just received a message from King Father, and King Father has already agreed to pay five million silver to purchase the Guankou City. "
Tang Yin yawned, and said indifferently: "Although Elder Royal Brother Xiao has already accepted this king's offer, regarding the sale of the city, this king still has to discuss it with the generals under my command."
Xiao Xiang frowned. Five million was the price that Tang Yin had proposed. Why would they negotiate again now? She asked: "Did Feng King go back on his word?"
"Of course not." Tang Yin laughed: "Ten days! Princess will give This King another ten days. Once ten days have passed, This King will give Princess an explanation. "
He proposed a time limit of ten days, mainly because the strengthening of the Trebuchet can be completed in ten days, and our side can also launch the most ferocious attacks against the Guankou City.
It was good that he could fight, but he could not. Tang Yin had no other choice, he sold it to Chuan Country, and that was a way out.
"Ten days?" Xiao Xiang was startled, then suddenly thought of something. She remembered that Liu Lie had told her that the date to reinforce all the Feng Army and Trebuchet s was right now, and after ten days it would be about time.
She secretly sneered, and understood why Tang Yin still wanted to give her a reply ten days later. It turned out that he still wanted to forcefully attack her Guankou City once more, and make a last ditch effort.
Xiao Xiang blinked her eyes, laughed, and nodded: "Alright! Since Feng King has already set a ten-day deadline, Xiao Xiang can only stay in the Your Army's camp and cause trouble for another ten days. "
Tang Yin laughed with his head held high, and said happily: "I can't even talk about disturbing you, just being able to entertain a princess with Chuan Country is my fortune!"
"Feng King is too polite." Tang Yin and Xiao Xiang each had their own ulterior motives, and after chatting for a while, Xiao Xiang got up and took her leave.
The moment Xiao Xiang left, Tang Yin called Yin Lan in and said: "Immediately inform Le Tian and Ai Jia, let Sky Eye and Earth Web keep an eye on Xiao Xiang and the followers she has brought. I want to control the movements of any one of them at all times."
"Yes!" "Great King!" Yin Lan anxiously replied, and turned to leave.
As for Xiao Xiang, after returning to her own tent, she paced back and forth, her eyes constantly rolling.
This was also something he had to be wary of. However, how could he break these Trebuchet with armor installed on them, which were the only ways to break through the seal of the Mayor.
Seeing Xiao Xiang walking back and forth nonstop, the three middle-aged men guarding at the side looked at each other, then asked softly, "Princess, Feng King did not immediately agree to sell the city, is it that... He has other plans? "
"Of course! He wanted to attack Guankou City again. How can we not understand? Unless it is absolutely necessary, Tang Yin will not sell his Guankou City to us. "
"If the Feng Army breaks through the Guankou City, all the efforts that the princess had made would have been for naught."
"Humph!" Xiao Xiang snorted and said: "Fortunately we went deep into the wind camp this time, so we can find out what the Feng Army is doing."
As she spoke till here, she suddenly stopped, looked at the small oil lamp on the lampstand, her eyes suddenly lit up, she stopped her steps, and spoke to one of the middle aged man: "Mr. Xing Yuan, I need you to return to our army camp immediately."
"Now?"
"Yes!" Right now. "
The middle-aged man called Xing Yuan's expression became serious, walked up, and asked while cupping his hands: "What orders does Your Highness have for me?"
"Mr. Xing Yuan, when you return to our base, go find General Zhang Feng, the commander of the army, and instruct him to prepare immediately." Xiao Xiang whispered into Xing Yuan's ear, while Xing Yuan listened and nodded, his face unconsciously revealing a confused look.
After Xiao Xiang finished speaking, he asked. "Your Highness, this is ?"
"No need to ask too much, Mr. Xing Yuan only needs to follow my instructions." The corner of Xiao Xiang's mouth rose as she said faintly: "The mantis stalks the cicada, while the oriole is behind it. The Feng Army thinks that just by using a Trebuchet equipped with a set of armor, they can break through the Guankou City, but in reality, they are seeking their own death!"
Xing Yuan nodded, bowed to Xiao Xiang once more, and turned to walk back into the camp.
Following Xiao Xiang's orders, Xing Yuan left the camp overnight and returned to the Chuan Country region which was about five kilometers away.
It could be said that when he left the Wind Camp, the spies Sky Eye and Earth Web had already sent back the news to Le Tian and Ai Jia. The two of them did not think much of it and ordered their spies to keep a close eye on Xing Yuan, but did not alert him.
They didn't say anything that night, and waited until the evening of the second day. The Sky Eye and Earth Web scouts all returned to Feng Army's camp one after another. Le Tian and Ai Jia then went to look for Tang Yin, the former holding a jar in his hands.
After seeing Tang Yin, Ai Jia took the initiative to speak: "Last night, after Xiao Xiang left the King's bed account, she sent a bodyguard to the Chuan Army campsite not long after he returned."
"Yes!" Tang Yin, who was looking through the Guankou City map did not even raise his head to answer his question, and said: "Last night, I delayed the sale of the Guankou City for ten days, it is normal for Xiao Xiang to send someone to report back to the Chuan Country."
"However, today, there is a strange movement in the Chuan Camp."
"What movement? "Are you going to attack our army?" Tang Yin casually asked as before.
"That's not the case. The Chuan Army s are all over the surrounding villages and towns in the vicinity of the army camp collecting vats." Ai Jia whispered.
"What?" Tang Yin thought he had heard wrongly, and his gaze finally moved away from the map. He raised his head and looked at Ai Jia with a blank face.
Le Tian nodded his head: "General Ai is right, the Chuan Army is indeed collecting pots everywhere." With that, he passed the jar that he was holding onto to Tang Yin, and said: "We brothers have even secretly stolen one."
Tang Yin frowned, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, he took the jar and held it in his hands. He looked at it repeatedly, then knocked it with his fingers, and even smelled it, saying, "This is just an ordinary wine jar, there's nothing special about it, right?"
"Yes, Great King, the people that Chuan Army have recruited are all ordinary citizens of Chuan Country."
"How many have you collected?"
"There's no way to calculate the exact number." Ai Jia replied seriously.
"What can this thing do?" Tang Yin raised the wine jar in his hand and played around with it. In the end, he sneered and said: "Could it be used as a urinal?"
"Pu!" Le Tian and Ai Jia both laughed. That's right, what could this thing be used for? Chuan Army's actions were truly unimaginable.
Ai Jia stopped smiling and carefully asked: "Will Chuan Army already sense our spies' surveillance and deliberately mystify things?"
Tang Yin thought for a moment, then nodded his head and said: "En, of course there is such a possibility, but Chuan Army does not need to do that, it is truly laughable to gather so many people for such a reason!" As he spoke, he tossed the wine jar to the side.
Crash! * After the wine jar fell to the ground, it shattered into several pieces. The corner of Ai Jia's mouth curled up, forcing herself to smile as she looked at Le Tian. Bringing such a damned thing back for the King to have a look at, it was truly an unnecessary move.
The guards on both sides walked over, and just as they were about to collect the broken fragments of the wine jar, Tang Yin's figure suddenly shook, and he shouted anxiously: "Wait!"
Le Tian and Ai Jia looked at him in puzzlement. Tang Yin slowly walked to the shattered wine jar, squatted down and picked up a piece of the wine jar's fragment from the ground. When his gaze fell on it, he did not speak for a long time.
With a thought, Le Tian and Ai Jia immediately walked over. The two of them picked up a piece of debris each, but no matter how they looked at it, this was just an ordinary jar, there was nothing strange about it. Ai Jia asked: "Great King, is there something wrong with this jar of wine?"
Tang Yin slowly shook his head as he thought about it. The wine jar was normal, but there was nothing wrong with it.
0
He stared at the fragment in his hand and asked: "What do you guys think will the consequences be if these clay pots were to fall into the hands of Guankou City?"
Le Tian and Ai Jia did not understand what he meant. The two of them looked at each other blankly and asked in unison: "What will happen?"
Tang Yin stood up abruptly, walked back to the table, and pointed at the map on the table with the tile. He said: "My army's Trebuchet is about to attack Mayor Palace with Guankou City, the best location is fifteen meters in front of the city. With the Trebuchet here, they could attack the Mayor Manor and avoid the walls. The Pyretic Oil s can't be poured out from the top of the city from a distance of fifty feet, but it's different if you have these tiled pots, after filling them with Pyretic Oil, even if it's an ordinary soldier, they can still throw it over fifty feet away, you two can think about it, during the siege, if we had tens of thousands of bottles containing Pyretic Oil s, and threw them down together, we would only need to fire a rocket in the end. Our army went through so much trouble to destroy these Trebuchet that were armed with armor. "
When Le Tian and Ai Jia heard this, they simultaneously sucked in a cold breath. The inside of the camp was very warm, but at the same time, the two of them felt a burst of cold air. That's right, although these pots looked insignificant, when attacking the city, they were sharp weapons that could restrain the Trebuchet on their side.
Only after being silent for a while did Le Tian and Ai Jia come back to their senses. The latter muttered: "But their Chuan Army s are all in the Chuan Country.
Tang Yin's eyes turned serious, he remained silent in thought.
Le Tian thought for a while, then continued, "Unless the Chuan Army attacks a safe haven, forcibly supporting the Guankou City ?"
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Tang Yin's eyes suddenly lit up, he raised his hand and stopped him from speaking.
He said with a glint in his eyes, "It won't, if Chuan Army wants to reinforce Guankou City, they would have sent their troops over a long time ago. They wouldn't wait till now, furthermore, Chuan Army doesn't need to gather these vats, we just need to send them over."
Speaking till here, Tang Yin suddenly burst into laughter, and sighed: "I understand, why Ann Army did not directly clash with our army previously, but chose to retreat, and continued to use delaying tactics, why Guankou City's rations were so plentiful, and why city defense resources were so abundant, no matter how much they were expended, it would not only be a waste ?."
