The Feng army is actively preparing for a new round of siege. While strengthening the riprap machine, it collects a large number of stones and makes stone bullets.
This morning, Tang Yin just finished breakfast and went out to check the reinforcement progress of his riprap machine. The wind army specially vacated a large area in the camp for strengthening the riprap machine.
When Tang Yin arrived, a large number of wind soldiers were working intensively at the scene. Many people are topless, shirtless, or swinging hammers, or holding ropes to fix pieces of steel armor on the riprap machine.
Ren Xiao looked up for a while and asked Tang Yin in a low voice, "Your Highness, can you really guard against the arrow array of an army by 'wearing armor' for the riprap machine?"
Tang Yin narrowed her eyes, shook her head slowly and murmured, "if the distance is too close, the arrow can still penetrate the steel armor."
"Then why should your highness work so hard..." do such useless work? Ren Xiao didn't finish.
Tang Yin sighed and said, "there's no way. It's better to wrap steel armor than not. If you can succeed, you can only listen to fate."
Ren smiled bitterly and said, "there are riprap machines in the pass city. Even if our riprap machines are full of shields and can withstand the arrow array of an army, they may not be able to prevent the attack of riprap machines in the city!"
Tang Yin pulled down the corners of his mouth. Now he can't control so much. Even if he scrapped the whole army's riprap machine, he has to beat down the gateway city.
At this time, Feng Jiang, who was responsible for strengthening the riprap machine, ran forward quickly, saluted Tang Yin respectfully and said, "I will see the king at the end!"
Tang Yin waved to him and asked with a smile, "General Liu, how are our riprap machines reinforced now?"
The name of this Feng general is Liu lie. He is a partial General of the plain army. He bowed his hand and said, "tell the king that 30% of the riprap machines have been reinforced. It will take up to half a month to strengthen all the riprap machines."
Tang Yin was very satisfied with Liu lie's progress. He nodded with a smile and praised: "well done. At that time, our stone bullets were almost made and could go to war."
"Yes, your majesty!" Liu lie answered in a hurry. Then he turned his head and said behind his fingers, "king, the reinforced riprap machines are over there. King, do you want to have a look first?"
Tang Yin smiled, raised his head and said, "OK! Lead the way!"
"King, this way, please." Guided by Liu lie, Tang Yin, Ren Xiao, Yin LAN and a San a Si go to the parking place of the riprap machine. There are two or three hundred riprap machines placed here. Steel armor has been wrapped around the riprap machines.
Walking closer, Tang Yin and others looked carefully.
The steel armor wrapped on the riprap machine is fixed with iron nails. In order to be stronger, hemp rope is also bound on the outside of the steel armor. The double fixation of iron nails and hemp rope makes the steel armor very firm, like growing on the riprap machine.
Tang Yin knocked first and then pulled hard. Then he nodded secretly and said, "yes, it's very firm. As long as our army's riprap machine can have a fragrant time in front of the city, with the number of our army's riprap machines, it can smash the city master's house at the pass."
Liu lie said, "Your Majesty, the front of the steel armor is in a circular arc. As long as the enemy's arrow doesn't hit the center, it will slide away from both sides of the steel armor and pose no threat to our army's stone throwers."
Yo! Very smart! Tang Yin was happy. Liu lie used the principle of modern helmets. He didn't even think of such details.
He nodded his head and praised again: "good! Well done!"
Tang Yin was talking to Liu lie. At this time, a soldier hurried over and knelt on one knee in front of Tang Yin. He said in a hurry, "king, there is an envoy from the state of Sichuan outside the camp. He claims to be Xiao Xiang, Princess of the state of Sichuan, and asks to see the king."
Xiao Xiang? Everyone present was stunned. Tang Yin blinked and laughed. She couldn't find her. Unexpectedly, she took the initiative to bring it to the door. "How many people are there?" he asked
"Report back to the king, less than 100 people."
"Oh!" Tang Yin rubbed her chin and thought deeply. Yin Lan said nervously, "Your Majesty, Xiao Xiang is full of tricks. This time I find you for no reason. Be careful there is fraud!"
Tang Yin smiled up and said, "this is the camp of our army. Xiao Xiang can't play any tricks no matter how tricky she is!" As he spoke, he shook his head to the crowd and said, "let's go and see what the red tea princess is going to do!"
Instead of welcoming him out of the camp, he went back to the tent of the Chinese army and waited. After a short time, a bodyguard came in and reported: "king, the red tea Princess of Sichuan has arrived outside the account."
"Yes!" Tang Yin looked down lightly and said, "let her in!"
Not long after the bodyguard withdrew, the curtain of the camp door was raised, and Xiao Xiang came in from the outside. Then Chang Feng and the three middle-aged bodyguards around Xiao Xiang followed.
When you see Tang Yin sitting on the mat, you can't wait.
This time, Xiao Xiang has taken off her men's clothes and replaced them with the clothes of a country's princess. Her long pink dress makes her figure more slender and elegant. Looking at her face, she puts on rouge, looks like water and smiles like flowers.
It can be said that Xiao Xiang at this time is quite different from Xiao Xiang dressed as a man. She is a fairy coming out of the picture.
Tang Yin sighed secretly. No wonder it is said that Xiao Xuan loved the five princesses very much. If he had such a beautiful girl, he would spoil her.
Before Tang Yin could speak, Xiao Xiang came forward with a smile, stood in front of the handsome case, gracefully and gracefully blessed a gift, and said softly, "Xiao Xiang has seen your Highness the king of the wind."
She suddenly seems to have changed her personality. Even her temperament is different, which makes Tang Yin a little overwhelmed. He was stunned for a moment. Fang smiled, waved his hand and said, "Princess tea, you're welcome."
After a pause, he said again, "as soon as Yujing leaves, it's easy for me to find Princess tea. Unexpectedly, I met Princess tea again at the pass. Please sit down!"
Xiao Xiang went to Tang Yin's lower hand and sat down with a smile. Then she raised her head. Her big bright eyes didn't blink. Looking at Tang Yin, she smiled and asked, "when you were in Yujing, Xiao Xiang offended more. His Highness the king of the wind won't be angry with Xiao Xiang!"
"Of course not." The corners of Tang Yin's mouth were raised, and the skin smiled but the flesh didn't smile.
What a "more offending", such an understatement has caused countless losses to our side. He asked with a smile, "the princess didn't come here to apologize to me this time?"
Xiao Xiang shook her head with a smile, nodded again and said tenderly, "apologizing to his Highness the king of the wind is one of the purposes of Xiao Xiang's visit. Another purpose is to discuss something with his Highness the king of the wind."
That's the theme! Tang Yin smiled and said, "I don't know what the princess wants to discuss with the king?"
Xiao Xiang didn't answer immediately, but blinked first. Her eyes are big and bright, and her eyelashes are long. When she blinks, she looks like two small fans, which are not coquettish, but better than coquettish. It makes people feel itchy.
Even Ren Xiao and Yin LAN couldn't help taking a breath and both looked away from her face.
Tang Yin was completely unaffected by her. Her clear eyes still twinkled with the sharp light of * people, and the smile on her face was still skin and flesh.
I snorted coldly in my heart. What's your look?! She thought so in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. Jiao didi said, "this time, Xiao Xiang came to negotiate with his Highness the king of wind on behalf of her father. Please don't despise Xiao Xiang."
Tang Yin held back his impatience and said, "princess, but it doesn't hurt to say that the king is all ears."
Xiao Xiang took a deep breath and said, "my father is going to buy xiaguankou city with a lot of money. What do you think of your highness King Feng?"
As soon as this remark came out, all the people present changed their faces at the same time. Sichuan wants to buy xiaguankou city? This is incredible.
Tang Yin raised her eyebrows, looked directly at Xiao Xiang for a long time, and said slowly, "the gateway city is not under the control of our country. I'm afraid it's too early for the princess to come to talk with me about buying the city."
"Not early, not early!" Xiao Xiang giggled, "it's actually the same now and in the future."
"How do you say that?"
"Your Highness, please forgive Xiao Xiang. The wind army can't beat Guankou City, either now or in the future." Yin LAN, standing on the side, smelled the speech and immediately burst into flames in her eyes. Holding the handle of the sword, she stepped forward and shouted angrily, "you're full of nonsense..."
Seeing that she was going to be rude to Xiao Xiang, the three middle-aged men came forward together. Although the guards of Fengguo had searched their weapons when they entered the Chinese army tent, with their cultivation, they could beat Yin LAN even with their bare hands.
Tang Yin waved to Yin LAN, motioned her not to be rude, and then smiled at Xiao Xiang and asked, "since the princess said so firmly that our wind army can't beat xiaguankou City, why should your country send the princess to talk to me about buying xiaguankou city?"
"Because his highness King Feng has long regarded Guankou city as the bag of the wind country, and his father doesn't want Sichuan and Feng to fight each other, so he came up with the idea of spending money to buy Guankou city." Xiao Xiang said positively: "selling the pass city to the state of Sichuan will not damage the face of the wind country, but also make the two countries continue to make friends. The wind army will no longer have a headache about how to capture the pass city, or even lose troops. At the same time, it can get a large amount of gold and silver paid by the state of Sichuan. It can be said that it can kill more with one stone. His Highness the wind king will not miss such an opportunity?"
Tang Yin rubbed his chin while listening. When Xiao Xiang finished, he asked suspiciously, "our country's hundreds of thousands of troops can't beat Guankou city. Do you think the Sichuan army can fight down?"
Xiao Xiang said with a smile, "that's our own business in Sichuan. As long as your Highness the wind king nods and asks the wind army to retreat from the pass city and take over by our Sichuan army, then if you can't fight, our country in Sichuan thinks it's bad luck. If you fight down, your Highness the wind king won't be jealous."
