Chapter 295 If I don't go, no one will help Xiaodong
Fighting continued in Tianhe Prefecture City.
The six or seven thousand Di riders who were blocked by the wall of swords were unable to move for a while. They could only take off their horse bows in a hurry and fight in a hurry.
The movement is slower.
Lian Yong, who had already been prepared for the attack, did not give any chance. The arrows from all directions roared towards the field.
One of the Di horses was lame, and all the Di people screamed.
Xu Mu had no expression on his face, raised his head, and looked at the goshawk flying in the sky.
He was somewhat silent.
Do all the Di people on this grassland understand air control?
Countless halberds were wrapped in fire cloth, and they only swept away for less than half an hour. After leaving dozens of eagle corpses, the goshawks in the sky turned back with miserable cries.
"General Xu, that is King Zuo Khan." Yu Wen said calmly.
Xu Mu looked forward and found that Zhao Qingyun was holding the reins of a large armored horse like a dog. On the horse, a young man covered in bright silver armor raised his head indifferently and looked towards Xuchang City as well.
come over.
Didn't look at it for too long.
The riding whip was whipped on Zhao Qingyun's body, and the big horse in golden armor turned its head and walked back slowly.
Xu Mu's face turned cold. After nearly a hundred years of fighting, the situation between the Central Plains and Beidi has become an endless one. Only the fools in the court can say "foreign countries offer gifts and all nations congratulate them."
If you guessed correctly, the Beidi army should join forces next and then attack Hezhou City.
"General Xu, the results are gratifying."
Looking back, Xu Mu looked at the north city gate, where countless enemy horses fell in a pool of blood. Fortunately, Lian Yong followed his wishes and shot people instead of horses, so the Di people's horses did not lose much.
.
Six to seven thousand horses were left, leaving more than 4,000 horses.
Coupled with the previous situation of riding with ten thousand people, it should not be a big problem.
…
The sky is like a firmament, covering the surrounding fields. The wind blows and the grass is low, and cattle and sheep suddenly appear. Groups of goshawks fly over the white clouds on the grassland, as agile as shooting stars.
"Thirty-eight hundred warriors from the Mengzhu tribe rushed to Hezhou in the Central Plains to rob food! rob silver! rob the delicate Jiren woman!"
A big man wearing animal skin armor, riding a tall horse, waving a scimitar and shouted.
Behind him, nearly 4,000 people from Di were shouting.
At the end of the crowd, there was a man with his head hanging down, riding an old horse, with an extremely dull expression. Then, he slowly raised his face and looked at the grassland in front of him.
Her sword-shaped eyebrows straightened her nose, and her eyes were as bright as shooting stars.
…
"An army of two hundred thousand?"
Sitting under the green hills outside Changyang City, Chang Shiro frowned.
"Hundreds of remote tribes in the Saibei Grassland have also been recruited this time. Together with the first batch of reinforcements, the total number is nearly 200,000."
"If you count this, it is almost half of the army in Beidi."
"Zhongde, does the little boss know?"
"This is the lord's intelligence network. He should not know about it. After all, the little boss's time to establish a foothold is too short."
"Have you found out the news about General Li?"
The old strategist shook his head, "If we can't find anything, if we dig deeper, I'm afraid the two secrets that we finally planted will be pulled out."
Tsuneshiro sighed.
"The only two heroes in the world are General Li and the young Marquis... I can count half of them, too."
"Lord, that counts too."
"I am a rebel, so I will not take the title of a hero."
Tsuneshiro stood up and tied his robe.
"Zhongde, please stay in the inner city and take care of it for me first."
"Where are you going, lord?"
Chang Shiro smiled and said, "All together, there are nearly 300,000 Beidi troops, right? If I don't go, there will be no one to help Xiaodong. You have to know that this huge dynasty is completely ruined."
"I will leave 30,000 people in the inner city for you. I will take 30,000 with me and go to the border. The idiot emperor went to Muyun Prefecture and there is not even anyone who can fight."
"Lord, many of these 60,000 people... are still new troops."
"If you can't die and return to the inner city, you will be a veteran. Living in a troubled world, fearing death is useless. It is better to hang the eggs and kill them."
The old counselor was silent.
"I will write a letter later and you can send someone to Yanzhou. Ask that 5-foot-3 dwarf prince if he wants to go to the border to help. The one closest to Hezhou is this guy."
"Lord, what if he doesn't want to."
"Then forget it. When I come to my senses, I will go to Yanzhou myself and hang him up and beat him."
The old counselor was speechless again.
When he raised his head, he found that his lord had already strapped on the bright silver spear of pear blossom wood and stepped forward calmly.
"I, Liu Ji, await your lord's triumphant return——"
…
Hezhou City. Several days have passed since the previous victory.
Since this time, the Di people outside the city have not moved any more. Instead, they have stayed in the camp quietly. Of course, there will be many people patrolling. Even if they are still a little far away, they can still be vaguely heard.
The constant sound of horse hooves.
"General Xu, is this King Zuo Khan afraid?"
"Waiting for reinforcements." Xu Mu said concisely and to the point.
Again, the Beidi people are bound to win over the Central Plains this time. After all, opportunities like this are rare.
The new emperor moved the capital, there was a melee in the inner city, and the various border generals and foreign states were acting as if they were a foreign country, working on their own affairs.
There is no better opportunity than now.
Xu Mu could even guess that the Beidi people's subsequent reinforcements might only be larger this time.
"Have you sent a letter to the King of Yuzhou?"
"I went, but all the war pigeons in Hezhou Posthouse were killed by those thieves."
Those thieves were the secrets laid by Zhao Qingyun. They poisoned the well before, hoping to take advantage of the opportunity to fetch water and sacrifice the city gate.
"I had to send three postmen and put on good horses. I hope the speed can be faster."
Xu Mu nodded silently.
The entire Hezhou City now has less than 40,000 combatable troops. If the Beidi people accumulate large-scale siege equipment, it will definitely be a disaster for Hezhou.
"Yu Wen, I remember that there are more than two hundred pieces of Huobengshi in the baggage storehouse."
"Indeed. As for catapults, there are almost five of them. I have already had them repaired."
Huobengshi is a weakened artillery shell. It is not only found in Daji, but also in Beidi. It is mostly used in catapults as a siege weapon.
"Where's the arrow pot and kerosene?"
"Don't worry, General Xu. There are also a lot of arrow pots and kerosene, and there are hundreds of mulberry trees. Zhao Qingyun, a bitch, God knows how much effort it took to collect so many things. Hey, I'm waiting for you now.
Already."
Xu Mu was also a little funny. Zhao Qingyun had all his tricks, but he couldn't do this, and he became a loser.
Hearing the reserves in the baggage treasury, Xu Mu felt relieved a little.
As for other things, without the precision craftsmanship of machines, let alone weapons such as smoothbore breech, it would be difficult for him to even make a hand-made flintlock gun.
The only thing we can do now is to use the knowledge of the past and present to build a foreseeable future step by step.
