Live as the emperor

Chapter 187 Preparation
The tornado swept past, causing almost equal damage to both sides.

However, the soldiers of the Yuan Kingdom themselves were in a state of siege, and there were still some fortifications they could rely on. Relatively speaking, the Xiongnu side was in a worse situation.

Especially when the wind was howling and passing by, the horses lost control, causing soldiers to mutiny, countless people trampled to death, and the offensive became slow or even stagnated, giving Chen Guang a chance to breathe.

"Sir, what should we do?"

Several generals covered in sand and dust surrounded Chen Guang and Motuo. Their faces could no longer be seen clearly. They could only tell from the armor they were wearing that they were generals of high rank. They all looked panicked.

What else can be done!Hurry up and find a way to escape!

Well, Chen Guang thought so deep down in his heart, but if he said this, the morale of the army would be disturbed.

In history, there are many examples of military defeats due to the disordered morale of the army. Chen Guang knows that he must not panic now, even if he pretends to be calm, so as to support the situation.

People in this era believed in ghosts and gods. In their eyes, disaster-level weather such as tornadoes was something worthy of awe and even fear. Even Emperor Medog looked nervous and his hand holding the weapon was shaking.

"Don't worry, the strong wind just now is just God's favor for us, everyone sees that the Huns have retreated!"

Sure enough, following Chen Guang's fingers, the Yuan army discovered that the Huns on the opposite side had retreated.

"Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng!"

All of a sudden, the morale was boosted, and even Medog secretly cast a approving look at Chen Guang.

Chen Guang was very bitter in his heart: Please work harder, I'm just here to get soy sauce, gold-plated, and prestige, and I don't want to accompany you to death.

"Quickly reorganize the formation, the enemy has not really retreated, everyone prepare well, we still have a big battle to fight next!"

After Chen Guang appeased the troops, he began to order the leading generals to arrange tasks.

In fact, he really knows nothing about military affairs.

But it doesn't matter, if he doesn't understand, someone will understand, as a boss, he just needs to know how to tell his younger brother to do things.

If the retreat of the Huns was just a temporary retreat as Chen Guang said, it is easy to see that the commotion just now had a serious impact on the morale of the Huns. They had to retreat and regroup before they could fight. .

If Chen Guang was a famous general, then he should seize the time when the Xiongnu army's morale was disrupted and launched a counterattack. Maybe one action would cause the opponent's morale to collapse.

Instead of holding on to the position like a squatting at home, letting the enemy adjust, he was still surrounded by the same place.

To put it bluntly, part of it was because of his inexperience, but the main reason was that Chen Guang was greedy for life and afraid of death, and he was unwilling to take the lead in launching a counterattack. Simply put, he lacked gambling skills, especially when the bet was his own life.

Looking at the army outside the city, and the Huns slowly approaching and killing them again, Chen Guang hid behind the battlements and wiped the sand from his face, and said to himself, "Why are you gambling? I wouldn’t even exchange a single hair of mine for the Huns’ [-] elite soldiers, let the cannon fodder do the hard work.”

A general stepped forward and half knelt on the ground: "My lord, the Huns' reinforcements have arrived, and they have already killed them!"

Chen Guang: "Where is the emperor?"

Medog's safety is also the key to victory. In this era of cheating, the soldiers lose their fighting spirit immediately after the death of the general. This is really a fucking setting, but everyone takes it for granted, and Chen Guang has nothing to do.

So before going to war, always pay attention to the safety of Medog.

The general said bluntly: "The emperor personally sits in the camp and is responsible for command and dispatch."

Chen Guang secretly despised: What kind of ghostly camp, just hide in the back, poor me, the son-in-law, had to guard the city gate to eat sand, but Motuo ran to the city to hide by himself.

But it's no wonder, the tornado just now scared him to pee, so he dare not come out now.

But my urine also came out a little bit. Do you think such a big wind and sand is a joke?

"Are things ready?"

Chen Guang asked again.

The general nodded solemnly: "Follow your lord's instructions, everything is ready!"

"That's good. Just now, we didn't take precautions in advance and caught the Huns' fast attack by surprise, but now it won't happen. It's time to show our real skills!"

For victory, Chen Guang was full of confidence from the very beginning.

As a civilized person from modern society, why should I compete with these stupid nomadic savages for courage, perseverance or wisdom?

Compared with these, the progress of civilization and the development of the times have given Chen Guang incomparable power. That power is called knowledge.

"Let you see the iron fist of technology!"

Soon, wooden instruments like large staplers were pushed up the city wall to complete assembly.

Compared with the lively atmosphere where the Huns were full of morale and the sound of killings was loud, the section of the city wall guarded by Chen Guang was completely silent, and the strange silence made people feel uneasy.

"Hey, you're making a fool of yourself!"

A general of the Huns was riding a tall horse, with shiny armor on his body, and his brows were full of heroism. Although he was young, he had an aura of calm and majesty. He was probably a warrior among the Huns, with a great reputation.

From the strong cavalry guarding him, we can know that this man's identity is definitely not simple, and he may be a famous general of the Huns.

However, Chen Guang was not interested at all. He was still squatting under the battlements, directing the soldiers to complete the assembly of the equipment.

The stapler-like weapon placed behind the city wall is based on a noose-style trebuchet.

This is a war machine that can project objects weighing 5 jin to a distance of 200 meters. The key is that Chen Guang has made some improvements to it, making it lighter and easier to use, and more foolish to use.

The young general of the Xiongnu rode forward slowly, with pride and confidence in his eyes, as if he had already won the battle.

When he was 50 meters away from the city gate, he stopped. This is a very safe position for him. Even if there are sharpshooters in the Yuan army who can penetrate Yang with a hundred steps, he is confident in avoiding the opponent's attack at this distance. .

So he said calmly: "Who is Yuangou who guards this gate? Please tell me your name. I..."

Chen Guang interrupted the other person's cool behavior in a loud and unruly manner, and said loudly in a disdainful tone that was so angry that he would not pay for his life: "I never have the habit of asking the other person's name before killing someone, because there is no need to be remembered."

The general of the Huns originally came to call for battle, but he didn't know that he was angered before the enemy was angered.

"When I go to the city, I will definitely chop your muscles and skin, and smash your bones to ashes!"
