Chapter 100
"I don't think so. I will take a small number of people to follow Zhao Xu along the way.*.* Let's see if he is sincere to us in case something happens on the way!"
Prince Kublai Khan volunteered to ask General Mengge to be somewhat worried. But at this moment, Prince Kublai Khan would rather give up the leadership of his 20,000 troops and only brought a small number of people to follow Zhao Xu's actions, which shows that he wanted to reassure himself.
But the more he did this, the more worried General Mengge became. He glanced at Sain Khanbado. If he didn't want Prince Kublai to master the firearm, he should stop this. However, what General Mengge didn't expect was that Sain Khanbado did not stop it at all. Instead, he stroked his beard and looked satisfied.
"Yes, Kublai Khan's best doing this. If Zhao Xu had something to do, we would have some constraints around him, so that he could not succeed easily. And moving forward with him would also make him closer to us. I think it would be useful when dealing with Zhao Fubo in the future!"
The reason why Sainhan Badu said this was because he had already seen it clearly that Zhao Xu would betray his firearms to everyone. Although it was just a finished product, manufacturing would not make people feel uncomfortable. This shows that what he lacked now was money and resources, and the Mongols did not lack these. That day, he came to the Mongolian military camp and brought the national teacher of the Muziyi people, which may be Zhao Weinan, and the two sides reached more agreements.
The Mongols will provide Zhao Xu with more food, horse materials and other supplies, and Zhao Xu will let his craftsmen work hard. On the way he came, Zhao Xu's men were trying to dismantle the shells obtained from Azam and Tulansha Sultan. But there is no result yet, so they had to use the "bottom exhaust extended range" shells produced by Zhao Xu, although the shooting distance was slightly worse, and they could only reach about 800 meters. However, it was much better than the last time when they fired with the "Flying Swallow Iii-type crossbow" in the hands of the Muziyi people, and it was almost useless.
General Mongke heard that Sain Khanbad also agreed with Prince Kublai Khan's plan, so he had to sigh from afar. Seeing that the situation of the war was already moving in the direction he did not want to see, this made his worries become more and more serious. But he could not tell anyone except his son and daughter. Otherwise, as the future "king of Mongolian kings", he would lose his position because of his cowardice.
"Okay, since the Khan also agrees, then I think Kublai Khan will go. You have to pay attention. I think he is sincere to the Mushuyi people fighting. But after the Mushuyi people are fighting, we may have to go to war with Zhao Fubo's subordinates. Khan, your reinforcements must arrive soon, otherwise I will be worried..."
In fact, in this battle, the number of troops attacking the entire Mutuiyi entrenched in the mountains was as many as 130,000. However, due to the concern about logistics, the number of vanguards this time was not large. Most of the troops were arranged in the supply lines behind the army according to Zhao Xu's suggestion. It is expected that multiple small castles will be built to protect the safety of the entire road. It is precisely for this reason that there are not many vanguards.
After Zhao Xu joined, there were many more firearms in the Mongolian army. Needless to say, the muslan cavalry was probably the strongest combat troops except for Zhao Fubo's "Lanterns" and "Ghost Army". In addition, the slightly smaller copper cannons and the "Flying Swallow III-type crossbow cannons" used by infantry are the main equipment of Zhao Xu.
The Mongols had fewer copper cannons with small caliber, but they had a large number of "Flying Swallow III-type crossbows". At the beginning, Sain Khanba bought these things in Huangsha City. As the attack of the four armies became two, the natural power became much stronger. The other exits of the mountain were all closed by the outside. The means of closure were just a few earthen cities built with sandbags, but this was enough to make the wood spears that lacked artillery and cavalry lost their connection with the outside world.
Moreover, if the Mongols set up camp this time, they would use enough large chariots to form a defense line. Although they could not form a "hui" shape like Zhao Fubo's subordinates, there would be no possibility of impact from any direction. However, pulling ropes between these large chariots can also defend against the charge of the suicide squad composed of "wooden assassins".
In short, this time the Mongols made many weapons based on their experience in the last battle. In addition, Zhao Xu added a lot of pulley bows to the Mongols. Although he did not have the ability to create the Rambo folding bow, the pulley bows could still be made. Moreover, these bows were no longer short riding bows. Instead, they were made big and long just like European longbows. In addition to the update of the Mongol bows, more "trigger rockets" were also equipped to the Mongolian army.
During the last battle, the Mongols' riding bows were not as good as those used by Mutuali in the city. After suffering a lot of losses, the Mongols who were able to drive hard bows this time no longer suffered at least in the range of the bow. In addition, the Mongols also equipped some muskets and used them in a concentrated manner according to Zhao Xu's method. Although muskets cannot be compared with the rate of firing of the bow, their range is much longer.
Similarly, because musketeers could not load bullets on horseback, the Mongolians had to load all musketeers on horseback like Zhao Xu. For a moment, the Mongolians naturally could not build so many horseback cars, so they bought the carriages when Zhao Xu came at a high price. Zhao Xu sold the old ones, let Xianglian look at his military camp, and made more new horseback cars, and after he had complete battle, there would be a result. The Mongolians also adapted to send him more wood suitable for horseback cars.
In this way, all combat preparations were completed in a hurry in a few days. Because if the national tutor of Mutuiyi was Zhao Fubo's father, it would be obvious that he would not be here soon. If he came here, the Mongolian army that was attacking Mutuiyi might be attacked from both sides.
However, Zhao Xu was not worried. Even when Prince Kublai Khan came to his camp, he said his plan and Prince Kublai Khan was no longer worried about this battle against the Mushuyi people. So what was Zhao Xu's plan? For the time being, he didn't say anything about his ideas, even including He Qi and Hassan. However, they were not nervous about this matter. What they were nervous was that suddenly the Mongolian army and Zhao Xu coalition acted, without any warning in advance.
"It's bad, the wrong news has misled Your Highness's affairs. What's wrong with this?"
