From eunuch to emperor

"Is it necessary for this king to lie to you? Your life and death depend on this king's backhand."

"Don't be too happy too early. The ghost soldiers sent by Wu Sheng are extremely cruel. There are not many people left in the Acropolis. Your family is likely to be killed."

Long Chen doesn't tell lies, he doesn't want to tell lies, and he can't tell lies.

The higher the status, the more honest you are.

The reason is simple, if you tell a lie, after being deceived, your subordinates will no longer believe it, and you will not be able to lead your subordinates.

If you want to implement orders and prohibitions, every sentence must be true, and every sentence must be implemented.

This is also the reason why the emperor is required to have no jokes.

If the emperor wants to have absolute authority, he must be absolutely honest.

Feng Yang's excited face darkened, and he sighed slightly: "I understand, we all saw the tragic situation in the city at that time."

Feng Yang is neither deaf nor blind nor stupid, he knows exactly what the ghost soldiers did in the Acropolis.

When he was in Bingyuan, he said that he hated Long Chen to cooperate with Li Chengdao.

Of course, Feng Yang actually hated Long Chen, he hated that Long Chen didn't defend the fortress and didn't protect his family well.

"This is a chance for revenge, it's up to you."

Long Chen patted Feng Yang's shoulder, and told Han Ziping: "Take him down."

Han Ziping stepped forward and said, "Brother, during the war, if you are wronged, come with me."

Feng Yang bowed: "Thank you King Wu for not killing me."

If he is taken down, he will be locked up, and he will not be killed. Feng Yang is overjoyed.

"The little one knows something about ghost soldiers, is King Wu willing to listen?"

Feng Yang reciprocates, and takes the initiative to confess information about the ghost clan.

Of course, doing this is also to show loyalty and increase the bargaining chip for one's own survival.

"Oh, tell me."

Long Chen said lightly.

Zhuo Fengyang came back because he wanted to get some information from him, but Long Chen didn't want to press him, because the information he asked might not be true.

"General Li... Li Chengdao has 3 people under his command, all captured from the Acropolis."

"In addition, there are more than 8000 barbarians, that is, the three tribes that were deceived last time. After being killed by King Wu for a while, the rest are also under the leadership of Li Chengdao."

"We have three lieutenants, I am one of them, and there are two others. It was Han Hu who captured King Wu at that time, and Ma Chenglong was the one who was kicked away by King Wu."

"There are more than 9 ghost soldiers assembled by the ghost clan. The leader is the high priest of the ghost clan, Demon Ling, and there are three-month-old ghost generals under his command, namely Yueling, Yueyue and Yuexi."

"There is one more thing. This time, the ghost clan formed a crossbow battalion according to Li Chengdao's suggestion. Their bone bows have a long range. King Wu must be careful."

After hearing so much, the last sentence is the most useful.

Long Chen asked: "How many crossbowmen are there? How far is the bone bow?"

Feng Yang said: "The number of people was originally 500, but later it was expanded to [-]. The far range can reach [-] steps, and the short range can reach more than [-] steps."

The bone bows of the ghost clan are not uniformly manufactured, and the range is unstable, and it is normal for them to be far and near.

The crossbows of the Da Zhou army came from Linglong Pavilion, which were mass-produced and had a very stable range.

"Why is it so messy?"

Han Ziping couldn't help complaining.

Han Ziping was in command of the Long Family Army's crossbow battalion. He was a shooter himself, and the ghost clan's crossbows had such a large range that they were completely useless.

When fighting, it is calculated that the enemy is within the range, and when the arrow is ordered to be released, it is found that half of the crossbow arrows have insufficient range, so it is not a mess.

"The bone bows of the ghost clan are not made uniformly. It is normal that the shooting range varies. I just find it strange that the ghost clan makes a living by fishing. Why do they have bows and crossbows?"

Long Chen thought about it carefully, something was wrong, the ice field was frozen for thousands of miles, and the food source was only fish under the ice.

The tools they use should be harpoons and the like. What do they need bows and crossbows for?

Only then did Dugu Jiali understand and said, "That's right, the ghost clan doesn't hunt, so why do they need bows and crossbows?"

Feng Yang was stumped by this question.

"Wu Wang, the younger one was also arrested, I don't know the situation of the ghost clan."

Feng Yang only dared to say what he knew, and dared not talk nonsense about what he didn't know.

"It's alright, keep talking."

Long Chen didn't continue to ask, it's normal for Feng Yang to be unclear.

If you want to find out why the ghost clan has bows and crossbows, you may have to catch the ghost soldiers before you can ask.

"There is another one. Li Chengdao got a very powerful weapon from the Martial Saint, called Xuanwu Sword. It is said that it was the weapon of his ancestor Li Yuanba."

Long Chen nodded slightly, and said: "Well, I know, I have already seen it when I was in the east of the Black Forest that day, it's really good."

Feng Yang was a little surprised, and asked, "Was it really King Wu who captured the holy beast that day?"

At that time, it was Feng Yang who followed Li Chengdao into the black forest to search.

When he arrived with his men, the battle was over.

Afterwards, Li Chengdao was beaten until he was covered in blood, and Feng Yang heard that Long Chen had captured the holy beast.

This is what Li Chengdao said, and it was confirmed by Long Chen today.

"Don't you know?"

Long Chen asked back, could it be that Li Chengdao concealed such a big matter?

Feng Yang replied: "You know, Li Chengdao reported this matter to the martial arts sage, he was beaten until he was covered in blood, and he was bedridden for a long time before he recovered."

Long Chen smiled and said: "Being beaten so badly? It's a crime, I really didn't do it on purpose."

This happened in the ice field, Feng He couldn't find out, and Long Chen didn't know either.

Hearing that Li Chengdao was beaten badly, Long Chen was quite happy.

"Li Chengdao deserved to be beaten for his own fault."

Feng Yang sees the wind and turns the rudder, and in turn scolds Li Chengdao for what he deserves.

Long Chen smiled, he didn't like people like Feng Yang.

Leaving Li Chengdao is not considered a betrayal, because Feng Yang was arrested, but when he first arrived here, he scolded Li Chengdao like a dog, it really shouldn't be.

"Anything else?"

Long Chen asked.

Feng Yang thought about it carefully, and said, "There's nothing else, that's all."

Long Chen nodded, and Han Ziping brought Feng Yang down to be imprisoned.

"Husband, the ghost clan has a crossbow battalion. We need to change our strategy. We can't let their crossbowmen approach."

Dugu Jiali was in charge of the bow and crossbow battalion. He knew that random arrows were the most terrifying during a battle.

The shooting range of the bone bow varies, and the lethality must still be there, so it cannot be shot.

"Well, first target the crossbow battalion, destroy them, or at least disrupt their formation."

Long Chen also thought so, he must first destroy the Bow and Crossbow Battalion to reduce the casualties of soldiers.

"I think we can use a catapult to throw the fire mine bag over."

Long Chen thought for a while, and the most suitable one was the catapult. Putting the explosive package on the catapult can throw it the farthest.

"The catapult... must be built on the sides."

Dugu Jiali glanced at the catapults behind the gate. These catapults were arranged behind the position for safety to prevent them from being destroyed.

If you want to deal with the Ghost Race Bow and Crossbow Battalion, you need to move forward, and the forward positions on both sides are just right for you to use.

Of course, the positions arranged on both sides can also be easily destroyed.

In the last battle, the ghost clan attacked from both sides.

"Build it now, and finish it before the ghosts attack."

Long Chen felt that Dugu Jiali's suggestion was feasible.

"The ghost clan has already gone outside, will it be too late?"

The catapult is more responsible, and it takes a day to complete the arrangement. Dugu Jiali is worried that it will be too late.

"I estimate that Wu Sheng will rest for a day and attack tomorrow. There is still time to build it now."

Just after a sneak attack, the morale of the ghost clan was hit, and Wu Sheng should take a rest.

Dugu Jiali immediately summoned people to install the catapult.
