The Reborn Lady is Farming

Chapter 353: defending the city (2)

   Mu Yangling's face sank, "Father, no leader would be so foolish as to expose himself within the range of a bow and arrow."

   "The general has a four-stone bow that has a much longer range than what we use now..."

"Father," Mu Yangling interrupted him and said seriously: "Even if you use yourself as a guide, the other party will never stand within 600 meters. With a four-stone bow, even if I draw the bow fully, the range will not be enough. It's only about 400 meters, and in the end you're dead in vain."

   Mu Shi's face was slightly gloomy, and he knew the truth, but he couldn't help thinking that if he could shoot the leader of the other side, then the predicament of this siege might be solved.

   Wu Jin blinked and asked, "Does the heavier the bow, the longer the range?"

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

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

Mu Yangling shook his head, "I don't know, but my strength is much stronger than the average person." Mu Yangling pondered for a while, and said, "Baishi should be fine, but if there is an Baishi bow, I almost don't need it. How can Dad lure me, I should be able to shoot at a range of 700 meters."

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

   Mu Yang's eyes narrowed and he asked, "Do you have a ten-stone bow?"

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

   Mu Yangling was slightly excited, "Go and fetch it, I'll give it a try, maybe I can pull it off."

  Mu Shi also had some hope in his eyes.

   "The bow is in my classmate's hometown, in Changju County, it's already dark..." Wu Jin hesitated.

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

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

   Wu Jin could only find his classmates with two buns in his pockets.

His classmate's surname is Xu, and his name is Shoutu. In fact, he didn't call him this name at first. When he was born, his grandfather gave him a nice name called Xu Jun, but 20 years ago, he fled the court south, and his grandfather was angry. Then 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 gate at that time, in order to ridicule him that he would turn around and run away without letting go of an arrow. At that time, when he made the bow, his family only thought that he had made it for his own appreciation. After two years of construction, it was to be sent to Li Zhengye in Lin'an Mansion.

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

  The Xu family is rich, but it is also well-known in this small place in Changju County, and no one buys it when he gets Xingzhou Prefecture, let alone Li Zhengye, the military marshal at that time?

People could crush them to death with their fingers, so the family knelt on the ground, and his son put five-year-old Xu Shoutu in his grandfather's hands and shouted, "Dad, if you want to scold Li Zhengye, go to the street. It's okay to scold, if you send this thing, your grandson will be gone before he can defend the land for Da Zhou!"

   Therefore, Xu Shi could only hang his bow high on the main room, so that every descendant could see it when they entered the door and went out, to show the humiliation of the country.

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

   On the other hand, Mu Yangling instructed people to carry the boiled water up the city tower, and let them pour the water down the city wall. Soon, the boiling water boiled in the ground was quickly used up.

   Mu Yangling asked people to continue to burn, but this time, he didn't need to boil it, he only needed to burn it until it was scalding hot. He also collected all the waterwheels in the city.

These waterwheels are used by the yamen to sweep the streets. 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 we will go out and sprinkle water from the outside to the inside, and the movement will be smaller. It's already completely dark. Jinbing's camp is fifteen miles away from here, and their scouts won't be very close, so it's hard to find out. Of course, it's also very dangerous. won'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 face was a little bad, and he asked: "A Ling, why do you want to sprinkle hot water?"

"Dad, do you still remember that one winter was very cold, and thick ice formed in the river. Cousin Lang dug a very beautiful icicle by the river? There is a flower in it, it should be a water quilt. Before freezing, the flower fell into the river, but because of the sudden cooling, the ice in the river became very thick, and the flower was frozen in it."

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

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

   Mu Shi's eyes lit up.

   Mu Yangling sighed, if it weren't for the helplessness, she wouldn't be time-consuming and labor-intensive to do this.

   At night, almost all the people in the tent were asleep, and Jinbing's camp was still silent. Then Mu Yangling asked someone to quietly open the small door and push a trolley or waterwheel out with them.

  The waterwheel only needs to open the gate and go back, and the water will be automatically sprinkled on the ground, and one trolley can hold eight buckets of hot water. When it reaches 600 meters, two people pull the cart, and one person on the left and right sprinkles the water on the ground.

   Mu Yangling stood behind them to check, 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 no enemy was coming, they let go of their hands and feet, and their movements gradually accelerated.

  Because it was life-threatening, the movement 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 mountains and watching the movement of Xingcheng Pass, but the people who come out don't need lights. Woke up.

Mu Yangling entered the room with chills all over her body and drank a bowl of hot **** tea. Then she took off some cold and wet clothes. She pulled the quilt and lay down on the couch to sleep. Tomorrow will be a tough battle. Good spirit.

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

Wu Jin and Xu Shoutu were both sitting in the carriage holding the heater, and they could be frozen in the quilt. It is conceivable how miserable the guards on horses were, but it was not that they were not in such cold weather before. I have marched, so my face is much better than the two young masters.
