Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 938 If you are willing to gamble, you have to admit defeat.

When Shexiang took Liu Shuzhu to find the King of Chu, he was working as a supervisor in the temporary arsenal, watching his guards and the local soldiers in Shuixi build weapons to defend the city.

The most powerful weapon is the city defense battle. For the city defender, the more fully prepared the city defense weapons are and the greater the power, the greater the damage to the siege party, and the greater the chance of victory.

During the long years of city defense, the Chinese nation invented countless powerful city defense equipment. It's just limited to the conditions, don't even think about thermal weapons such as flying mines and landmines.

He and Mu Yingyi also calculated that in view of the low combat quality of the native soldiers, they would not need to use sophisticated weapons such as bows, crossbows, and flying hooks to pierce rings, and would mainly use striking instruments that did not require precision.

One is mulberry wood, which is a log filled with spikes. This process requires the least amount of workmanship. Just cut a hole in the log and insert a sharpened wooden wedge with the pointed end pointing outwards.

Moreover, there are tens of thousands of houses in Puding Fort, and the wooden beams in each house are the best wood materials. For a city defense battle of this scale, the supplies are almost inexhaustible.

So these days, Zhu Zhen has been leading people to demolish the house, lift the roof, remove the wooden beams, and transport them to the threshing floor for processing.

The second is the fork pole. It is a long bamboo pole with a horizontal blade tied to the top. It can be used to prevent enemies from using ladders to climb the city, and can also be used to kill enemies who climb the city.

When the enemy's ladder approached the city wall, the defenders could use the chisel blade at the front of the fork pole to resist the ladder and overthrow it. You can also wait for the enemy to crawl closer, then use the forked pole to push down the ladder and chop. The horizontal blade in front of the pole can wipe out all the enemies on the ladder. Even if the enemy below cannot survive the blow, they will be hit by one of your own people falling above.

As for the rolling stones and the iron pots for boiling dung water, there is no need to produce them in particular. They can just use local materials and transport them directly to the city.

Zhu Zhen came to be the supervisor, mainly because he was afraid that they would be lazy and the enemy would arrive soon. At this time, if he built an extra piece of wood, he would have a better chance of winning.

But the most lacking thing is people. These two thousand people are divided to guard four sides, and a reserve team must be left. Each fort wall cannot support three to four hundred people, so it is difficult to make it watertight. The most important thing for defending the city is to have tight defenses.

Once there is a loophole in the defense line and someone takes the opportunity to rush into the city, the advantage of being in a commanding position is gone. When military morale is shaken, it is easy to cause a defeat. This is how city defense battles have been lost throughout the ages. So there must be enough manpower.

So Zhu Zhen was very happy to see Liu Shuzhu coming so early, and asked immediately: "How many people did you bring?"

"Return to Your Highness." Liu Shuzhu saluted hurriedly and replied: "One thousand eight hundred people."

"Okay, very good." Zhu Zhen nodded happily and said, "This is barely enough."

"Other troops from the east and west of Shui are also rushing here. It is estimated that they will arrive one after another today and tomorrow." Liu Shuzhu added: "There must be 20,000 people."

"Good guys, are we really all out?" Zhu Zhen was even happier now. "Come on, come on, the more the merrier, there is plenty of food in the castle anyway."

At that time, the people of Puding Department were in such a hurry that almost all of them escaped empty-handed. The autumn harvest has just begun, so there is no shortage of food either in public warehouses or in rice vats at ordinary people's homes. At least there is no problem for these 20,000 people to eat openly for a month.

"By the way, I haven't thanked His Highness for your great kindness." After Zhu Zhen finished speaking about the business, Liu Shuzhu bowed again and whispered softly: "The redemption beads are tied with grass in their rings. There is no way to repay them. I will serve His Highness like a dog and a horse for the rest of my life."

"You're welcome," Zhu Zhen looked at the petite and exquisite little widow and said to himself that Guizhou, with its beautiful scenery and beautiful scenery, is really nurturing. But he smiled seriously and said: "Guarding Puding Fort is the best reward for me."

"Sister Shexiang has already told me that this is what we should do." Liu Shuzhu straightened her slender waist and said loudly: "What's more, Shi'er is just a manipulated puppet, and the real murderer is still in Qujing Xiaoyao. ! If you don’t kill Dalima, how can it be considered revenge?!”    “You really understand justice, far better than men!” Zhu Zhen couldn’t help but his eyes lit up, and he praised: “Unexpectedly, besides the heroines of the Southwest, Shexiang and Liu Shuzhu! I couldn’t be more right to support these two high-ranking officials.”

Hearing His Highness praise herself so much, Liu Shuzhu's face turned red and the corners of her mouth could not help but turn up slightly.

The next day, Amang Mukui and others also arrived with their troops one after another.

When they saw the two Noha, dressed in military uniforms, standing side by side at the top of the city to greet the army, they were all shocked from ear to ear.

"What's going on?" The suspension bridge slowly lowered, and all the Mu Kui looked at each other. "Did they let the two of them defeat Puding Castle?"

"Just the two of them? How is it possible?" Many Mu Kui had come to attack Puding Fort once before. That time they attacked with hatred. The whole army shared the same hatred of the enemy and did not care about their own lives. However, they still suffered a bloody blow and returned home defeated. .

It is precisely because they know how difficult Puding Fort is to fight that they have such a strong fear of difficulty. In fact, the reason why I rushed over bravely was to rescue the two Noha, so as not to let them get cooked by the people of the Puding Department.

As for attacking Puding Fort, they didn't even bring the most basic ladder. Did you know that they had no idea at all?

They had imagined any possibility after arriving, but they did not expect that the scene in front of them would appear. Puding Fort, which they regarded as a natural hazard, was actually defeated by two Noha... It is really unbelievable.

But they had no reason to believe it. As the suspension bridge fell on the ditch, the soldiers of Ju Mu's army from the east and west divided into two groups and walked out of Puding Fort. They lined up on both sides of the gate to welcome the arrival of Mu Kui and the army.

"His grandma is really evil!" Zong Mukui believed it now. They all urged their Yunnan horses to enter the fort with complicated expressions.

Then he came to the city gate tower and met the two Noye.

"Everyone," after they saluted, Shexiang said with a winner's smile: "Who won our bet?"

"This..." Zhong Mukui was confused for a while. This was the problem they were least willing to face.

Seeing that these guys were mumbling and refusing to answer, Liu Shuzhu sneered: "This is the gate of ghosts. We swore a poisonous oath to the ghost kings of all generations. Do you dare to deny it at the gate of ghosts?"

"Don't dare, don't dare." All the Mukui quickly shook their heads in denial. The older Mukui smiled and said, "We are just curious, how did the two Noye do what we men can't do?"

"You guys are willing to admit defeat first, call my sister and me twice before saying anything else." Liu Shuzhu said forcefully.

Zhongmu Kui was naturally unwilling to do so, but they had already sworn a poisonous oath to the Ghost King, and in front of so many people, with His Highness the King of Chu as witness, they could not help but go back on their words.
