Chapter 1061 A heavy price

At the beginning, when the artillery attacked, the soldiers of the Second Firearms Brigade were still a little excited. However, as the fire continued day and night, no one knew how many gun barrels were replaced. Now these soldiers have long lost the initial excitement.

Now it's just a mechanical job.

The sound of cannons rumbles every day, and everyone is used to working and resting in such an environment, as if it has become a part of their lives. Someone will not be frightened by the sudden sound of cannons and be forced to wake up from their sleep.

woke up with a start.

The thunder from the Great Chinese Army seemed to be endless, and it had not stopped exploding for more than ten days. Every day, Huyangai, the king of the Huns, lived in dire straits.

He didn't know how many of his troops had crossed Pingcheng, nor how much his losses had been. He was only concerned about one thing right now, and that was that he was going to prepare to cross the city tonight.

Rather than worrying about how many people under your command will die, you should consider whether you can survive tonight smoothly. After all, artillery doesn't have eyes. Once it falls around, everyone is really equal and everyone is equal.

May die.

Fortunately, Hu Yangai, the King of the Huns, still has some privileges. For example, he can choose to follow Wei Qian'er, so that his safety will be more guaranteed. The reason why he has such a certain idea is that

Because there is a grand master beside Wei Qian'er, with his ability to perceive danger, he will definitely be much safer.

That's right, after Shen Tuwei left, Wei Qian'er spent a period of hard work and recruited a grand master to be by his side. Speaking of which, this grand master had no choice but to choose to follow Wei Qian'er, because

He is Mr. Xiaoyao, one of the murderers of Emperor Qianwen.

Young Master Xiaoyao chose to take on this task because Wei Qianer was willing to spend money. In his opinion, it was just killing one person, so what if he was the emperor of Daqian? In the eyes of Jianghu people, everyone can kill

, what we look at is nothing more than how much we can get and how many benefits we get.

In the past, Mr. Xiaoyao had often done such things. He seemed to have killed many powerful people, even tycoons. In his opinion, killing an emperor was not a big deal.

Now there is not only one emperor in the world. If you kill, you will kill. Can the dead still seek revenge? As for the living, they may still be grateful for their actions in their hearts. Otherwise, if the old emperor does not die, how can the new emperor ascend to the throne?

Furthermore, since you are a master, even if others want to kill you, you must have such ability.

In this way, Mr. Xiaoyao took action. But after he actually finished the matter, he realized how naive his previous thoughts were.

Because in just over a month, he had been attacked and killed seven times, and five hiding places he had prepared before were found and destroyed. This made him finally understand that killing an emperor would have such a big impact.

The consequences. Not only did he regret it a little.

And until the seventh assassination, there was a master who was in the middle stage of energy transformation. He came up with Tianlei tied to his body and died with him. It was thanks to his apprentice Tianjue who was by his side that he used him as a shield.

, only then did he survive.

However, Tian Jue died because he was standing in front of Mr. Xiaoyao and had dozens of iron shards pierced into his body. It was after this time that Mr. Xiaoyao was really scared.

He doesn't know if these killers can still find him. Next time there will be no one around him, so what can he do to stop them?

At this time, he heard a piece of news from the Jianghu, saying that Dai Mubai, the great master who attacked Emperor Qianwen with him, actually surrendered to General Qiu Suisui of Nanyue. He heard that he could not stand the various attacks and had to Choose a backer. After all, in the army, it will be much more difficult for killers to sneak in, and they will be safer.

Dai Mubai's choice allowed Mr. Xiaoyao to find a way to save his life, so he took the initiative to come to Wei Qian'er's side and expressed his willingness to protect him, but he needed to be paid.

Ye Xiao naturally inquired about the assassination of Young Master Xiaoyao and reported it to Wei Qian'er a long time ago. She knew that Young Master Xiaoyao would appear. She did not want to serve her willingly, but just wanted to save her life and hide from the limelight. .

Maybe as time goes by, those killers will slowly give up if they can't find any chance to kill Mr. Xiaoyao.

But even though she knew why the other party came, Wei Qian'er, who was good at understanding people's hearts, still didn't point it out in public. Instead, she happily expressed her welcome to Young Master Xiaoyao and offered him a considerable remuneration.

This is naturally a happy scene for everyone. With a grandmaster beside Wei Qian'er, his safety is more guaranteed. Young Master Xiaoyao follows Wei Qian'er and is under the protection of thousands of troops. It is very difficult for the killers to get close, so he can finally Take a breath.

The two people came together because they had the same odor. This matter was known to Huyan Gai, the king of the Huns. He knew that the master had the ability to see, hear, and perceive danger in advance, so he would naturally follow Wei Qian'er to ensure his own safety. Already.

In this way, that night, the main leaders of the Xiongnu army began to set off after dark, and at midnight, they crossed the city along the east and west sides of Pingcheng.

With the help of birds in the sky, every move of the Huns army is under Feng Xun's control, but once the other party makes any big movements, he can still know about it. When he learned from the birds, there was something strange in the Huns king's tent today After that, Feng Xun thought about whether the Hun King would break through tonight.

Although this was just a guess, Feng Xun still decided to give it a try, so he increased the intensity of the artillery strikes. That night, the sound of artillery was much denser than before.

And in this environment where no one knew where the next cannonball would land, the sound of cannons exploded on both sides of the city, and many Huns and slaves were bombarded into a ball of mutilated corpses. Among them, Hu Yangai's younger brother Hu Yanfeng was killed in the carriage.

Hu Yangai and his son Hu Yantong were very lucky. Following Wei Qian'er, mainly following Xiaoyao Gongzi, they quickly passed through the barrier, and they were almost safe.

"The Romance of Fairy Wood"

But after daybreak, Huyangai, who had passed through Pingcheng, learned that his brother had been killed in a bombing. He looked full of grief and anger, shouted that he was sworn in with the Chinese army, and then continued on his way, looking for people who had passed by before. The main force of the Xiongnu and slave armies in Pingcheng.

Even the brother of the King of the Huns was killed. One can imagine how much the entire Huns had to pay. Not to mention other ordinary soldiers, according to subsequent statistics, many high-level people of the Huns alone died.

For example, the only people of the Bu family who finally made it through Pingcheng alive were Lao Bu Jie and his younger brother Bu He, and his son Bu Xian. Only Lao Landao Tu of the new clan of the Landao family broke through the city alive.

It can be said that the Huns paid a huge price for this time's attack on the city, and their strength was greatly reduced.

But if that's the case, as long as they return to the North and find some of their former tribes, they still have a chance to make a comeback. But the problem is that the 30,000 Canglang Camp warriors have long been sharpening their swords and waiting for them, so what?

Will they be given another chance to reintegrate their forces?

As the Canglang Camp's first appearance after returning to Great China, they had really been preparing for it for too long.

All the cavalry have undergone rigorous training, and the logistics department has also made great efforts to equip them with excellent equipment. As the brigade commander, Li Chuxiang led 30,000 cavalry on many missions.

This is an exercise that is close to actual combat.

Not to mention anything else, it can be seen from the casualty figures in several exercises. A full seven people died accidentally and more than 3,000 people suffered varying degrees of minor injuries.

In future generations, it would be unjustifiable for a mere exercise to result in a death rate of 7 out of 30,000. As a military chief, dismissal is inevitable, and even entering prison is considered normal.

But now, when the imperial power is supreme, the emperor's order is the imperial edict and the destiny. No one will say anything on such a matter. But there are still some people below who question it, not for other reasons, just because of the injury.

Too many people.

One-tenth of the injured were injured, and more than 10% of them were unable to return to the army even after recovering from their injuries. This loss is not insignificant.

In this era when just grabbing a commoner can become a member of the slave army, and just hand out a wooden stick, you can rush to the battlefield, so many cavalry have not even seen the enemy, just because each of the so-called military

You lose the right to go to the battlefield during drills, and it feels like the gains outweigh the losses.

As a military officer, Li Chuxiang is naturally under great pressure. Fortunately, his chief of staff Feng Ping is very supportive of his work, his beauty Tang Qinglan is also very supportive of his work, and most importantly, Emperor Tang Ao of Great China is even more supportive.

his job.

To use what Tang Ao wrote in the letter to him, that is, sweat more during training and bleed less during battle. For those soldiers whose military quality is not up to standard, it is better not to let them go to the stage of war. This would be counterproductive.

A kind of protection and respect for their lives.

Li Chuxiang fully agrees with this. Their Canglang Camp cannot compare to the Shanshan Guards. They were all killed in fire and rain, and they are a cavalry team that grew up in the war. But their Canglang Camp is not like this.

conditions of.

Even when I was in Dianzhou before, I didn't encounter many decent battles, let alone a real head-on battle with the opponent on the battlefield, knife to knife or gun to gun. Most of them were sneak attacks.

, roundabout warfare may also be said to be guerrilla warfare.
