Chapter 6 This time it's true
"Take all away, take everyone away, and don't leave anything for them!"
Zhao Xu successfully returned to the Eagle Nest in Mutuiyi Mountain. When he came here, he was surprised to find that Xianglian actually asked Zhao He to pack everything. {《》 }(,《》)》() The property has been loaded on the carriage, and the beauties have also been loaded on the carriage. In the future, whether Zhao Xu keeps it for himself or gives it to others, the number of women will be enough, and the amount of money will be enough.
Therefore, although Zhao Xu was defeated, only more than 20,000 cavalry had lost 50,000 cavalry. However, Zhao Xu did not hurt the bones because his craftsmen were still there and he still had the ability to build firearms. Therefore, Prince Kublai Khan had to look up to him.
The 15,000 cavalrymen who followed Zhao Xu to fight, including 5,000 musket cavalry, basically did not leave much. Although Zhao Fubo planned to let him go, he did not plan to let his men go. Therefore, there were only more than 2,000 people who escaped with Zhao Xu, including 500 He Qi's confidants. At this moment, the situation in the Vulture Nest was already quite dangerous and could not be stopped by these people in front of him.
The explosion sound of "Boom..." came from afar under the echo of the valley. It gave people the feeling that the violent explosions were near. In fact, the infantry led by Wei Zhen and the "grenadiers" attacking troops were about 1 kilometer away from the Eagle Nest. The explosion sounds were only transmitted here because of the hardness of the rocks in the valley.
However, what made Zhao Xu worried was that they had broken contact with the front line and various strongholds at this moment. The sentry there would not come back to report, and the food and combat supplies here could not be delivered. At this moment, the valley was filled with the Muziyi people who had already surrendered because of Lu Kengding. At this moment, under the leadership of Amina, they started their attacks, assassinations and other old business again.
It is impossible not to say that when these guys are not fighting hard on the front battlefield and are working hard, they still have some skills. Due to their rebellion, the fortresses guarded by the Muziyi people in the mountains often change their camps by changing their flags. The Muziyi people who held the fortress with the Mongols had already shown signs of instability at this time.
Originally, Zhao Xu and Prince Kublai Khan planned to gather his subordinates' strength, quickly turn north and then refract the east direction. The purpose was to leave the battlefield and then retreat to the area controlled by the Mongols. Unfortunately, the Mongolian soldiers in the fortresses in the mountains could not be taken back, which made Prince Kublai Khan hesitate. As for Zhao Xu, he didn't care about that much. He spent two days with Xianglian not only emptying the wealth in the vulture nest, but also quickly armed his own personnel.
During this period of war, the craftsmen under Zhao Xu were not idle. Not only did they use the money and materials of the Mongols to build a large number of large carts, but they also used the materials of the Mongols and the vultures to build a lot of muskets. In particular, the 500 confidants of He Qi were still there, and soon a 5,000-man musket cavalry was organized among the cavalry. The cavalry under Zhao Xu were originally equipped with Yulin armor, general swords, pulley bows and Chinese spears. This work could be completed with just a little adjustment of the equipment.
As for the firearms, Zhao Xu only took away the muskets produced by Huaxia Island and the "Flying Swallow Iii-type crossbows". In the vulture nest, Zhao Weinan had many gunpowders that were ready to resist the Mongols in the past, which was enough for Zhao Xu to use. Especially at this moment, the number of his large carts had reached more than 500. If calculated, it was probably the load of 1,000 tons. Although he mainly loaded property, craftsmen and various supplies.
It can be said that when the alliance with the Mongols dealt with Zhao Fubo, although Zhao Xu's power was damaged, he scored a lot. Especially at this moment, Prince Kublai Khan did not have many troops. If he wanted to return to the Mongols safely, he would definitely need his Zhao Xu's help.
Because the Mongolians are not like other races, their combat methods are mainly plundering, and they generally do not build cities or the first goal of their combat is victory and plunder, rather than building cities. This gives the various ethnic groups fighting against them a very difficult problem, because agricultural civilizations inevitably have to rely on the land. For the Mongolians, that is their biggest weakness.
But now, if you want to go back from the mountain where the Vulture Nest is located, there are many unfriendly people on the way. Although they have been defeated by the Mongolian army, Prince Kublai Khan does not have many subordinates this time, so it is definitely not easy to go back safely. This matter requires the help of Zhao Xu, but who is Zhao Xu? If he didn't take the opportunity to talk about the conditions, then would he still be Zhao Xu?
"Don't rush to talk to him, let him go!"
Zhao Xu gave a wink to Xianglian who brought him the news. At this moment, Xianglian had completely become Zhao Xu's head of the army. When Zhao Xu was not around, everything was arranged by her. At this time, the news she brought to Zhao Xu was that Prince Kublai was coming to him for something. Looking at Zhao Xu's eyes, Xianglian already understood what was going on, but she still reminded her.
"Master Xu, let's and him..."
Zhao Xu smacked his lips dissatisfied with Xianglian's hesitation.
"I don't understand this yet. Of course we have to cooperate with him! But now he is anxious. We are not in a hurry. The sound of cannons over there is not urging us, it is urging him. Don't think about it, if we abandon him after we come out of the mountain, how can he return to Mongolia? If he needs our help, and after returning, he will definitely want our help in order to win the Khan throne. But if we will negotiate the conditions there, wouldn't it be too late!"
Xianglian is also a smart person. She didn't understand anything like Zhao Xu. However, she was still a little worried, worried about what the deal between Zhao Xu and Prince Kublai Khan was. If Zhao Xu married a Mongolian princess, what would her Xianglian be?
Zhao Xu probably saw Xianglian's expression and hurriedly gave her a reassurance first.
"Lian, don't worry. Even if I want to marry a Mongolian princess, you will be my wife. You should believe me about Xianglian!"
Xianglian's heart was so hot that she almost shed tears when Zhao Xu said.
"Master Xu!"
Zhao Xu smiled slightly and patted her head with his hand.
"Don't worry, I know who is sincere to me in this world!"
Xianglian completely relieved her feelings about Zhao Xu's statement. Although Zhao Xu's words are often not very true, Xianglian saw that Zhao Xu was true this time.
