Chapter 1003 Daxia is calm, Mobei is desperate because of the artillery

There was a strange atmosphere in the Mobei Camp at the foot of the Yin Mountains.

This is in contrast to the people of Daxia at Wuhekou.

But it’s strange that half a month ago, the two were completely opposite, but the current situation is different.

Inside the camp, although the troops of various Mobei tribes were still conducting drills according to the daily training, one could clearly see that the soldiers who originally held their heads high would inexplicably frown and lower their heads whenever they looked to the south.

According to their initial idea, today's Daxia is even more difficult to deal with than the Uighurs, so within three days they will definitely open the borders of Daxia and plunder Daxia's women, money, and food.

But now they are just stationed here, and every day they have to send troops out to cut down trees.

There is a rumor in the camp that a few days ago, the great masters of the end in the camp sent some people to the Wuhekou Pass of the Daxia people.

But more than a dozen people went out and only a few came back.

It’s hard to say what happened, but the disciples of the Lemai Sect have been in trouble recently. In Mobei, this will only happen when big shots go to the embrace of Changshengtian.

There is also a saying that the Grand Masters of the End went there to steal the weapons of the Daxia people that could make a loud noise and kill people. In the end, they got them back, but there has been no news since then.

Zhong Shuoxing was actually very clear about the atmosphere in the camp, but he chose to remain silent, because few people in the entire camp knew that Empress Dowager Shulü Ping and the Princess had arrived.

Knowing that the Queen Mother and Her Royal Highness the Princess are here, the soldiers will surely rekindle their confidence!

Your Great Xia Emperor and Empress are here, and my Mobei Empress Dowager and Her Royal Highness the Princess are here too!

But before that, Zhong Shuoxing can only let the morale continue to sink. It would be best to let it sink to the lowest point and then make a final effort to boost it.

This is the only way under the current circumstances.

The generals under his command also went to the camp tent to discuss what to do in the next few days.

But after thinking it over, he could do nothing and could only stay in the tent because he really couldn't think of a suitable way to deal with Daxia.

And that thing called cannon has been kept in the camp tent since it was brought back.

And it is still being discussed today, and I don’t know how many times it has been discussed.

An old general from the Mobei Tiele tribe who had just come to support the reunion not long ago could no longer hold back and stood up. Looking at the silent people in the tent, he slammed the table and said, "You are scared after being beaten, but we Tiele are not! And what about blasting a big hole in the ground that can accommodate dozens of people? If this black iron lump is really that powerful, why didn't Daxia use us when so many of us went that day! It's nothing more than being really scared and not daring to go!"

Then he looked at Zhong Shuoxing and said, "My son Ashina Falcon is extremely brave. King Nanyuan will give the order and we are willing to lead 30,000 Tiele people to see what the weapons of the Daxia people are like! They can scare the Tuoba people like this! Moreover, the soldiers are dejected. How can they hold swords when a real battle starts? If they continue like this, we might as well disperse!"

When the man stood up, a young man with a hooked nose behind him also stood up and said, "Please give me 30,000 slaves, King of the Southern Courtyard. Since this thing is so powerful, why not let the slaves go to the front to consume it? You can't say that this thing can keep shooting out powerful things."

Yuwen Baobao, also known as Yuwen Tai, sneered when he heard this: "Let the slaves charge forward. Are you really not afraid that they will turn around and kill you together with the Daxia people?"

Hearing this, the young man named Ashina Falcon looked at Yuwen Tai and said, "There are many ways! Don't forget the medicine that Changshengtian gave to Mobei."

Without waiting for Yuwen Tai to speak, Heba Tao, with his hands wrapped in bandages, stood up and said, "What if I use it and still can't get it?"

The old man looked at Heba Tao.

But then I have to speak.

Wow!

A strong wind suddenly swept through the entire tent!

Heba Tao appeared in front of the old man, and his fist was right in front of him. Heba Tao looked at the old man and said, "That's the speed at which this thing shoots out that strange thing. But what's scary is not its speed, but its power. I used both hands to catch it, but both hands were almost broken. So calm down. The King of Nanyuan will naturally have a way to solve the problem of morale of the soldiers. Besides, don't forget that the Queen Mother and the Princess are here."

Ashina Nadu looked at Heba Tao and frowned while clenching his fists.

But Zhong, who was sitting cross-legged in front of the cannon, said yes, staring straight at the muzzle of the cannon: "You will die."

Hearing this, everyone looked at Zhong and said OK.

Zhong Shuoxing said: "From now on, every soldier must be safe, because we only have one chance to attack Daxia, and the Daxia Emperor has given us one chance, so don't think about secretly taking people to attack Wuhekou, you will all die, it's not the Daxia people who will kill you, but me."

Zhong Shuoxing spoke very calmly.

This strange-looking man didn't look tired, but everyone knew that he had been sitting there watching the artillery.

And everyone knew that the calmer the voice of this King of the Southern Court, who was deeply trusted by the Queen Mother, the more serious he would be.

Bai Shi Qixiang, Ding He, Zhou Qian, and other generals under Zhong Shuo Xing all stood up at this moment and looked at Ashina Nadu and his son.

In Mobei, swords have always been the only thing that matters, and morality and friendship are all empty talk.

Ashina Naduo saw this and clenched his fists: "What should we do? Should we just stay here forever? Now the soldiers outside have started to spread the news that our camp was destroyed by the Daxia weapon. The reason why we haven't launched an attack is because..."

Zhong Shuoxing fell to the ground with a thud: "Xia Qingge has achieved his goal."

Hearing this, everyone looked at Zhong Shuoxing who was lying on the ground.

Zhong Shuoxing said, "The emperor of Daxia wants us to be like this, hopeless and powerless, and then get into a quarrel, and then let me suppress them with force."

Hearing this, everyone frowned.

There were smart people in the military tent. Da Xia had such a weapon, but it didn't show up at all. It could even be said that there was no movement at all. Moreover, it sent such a cannon directly.

His intention is clear, how can we not guess it?

But the problem is

So what if I guessed it!

Zhong Shuoxing continued, "She is waiting for us to completely collapse, so this is why I said she only gave us one chance. And we can't take back the initiative. When we launch an attack on Wuhekou, if we lose, she will definitely send troops. Yang Guofu and Qian Long are like crazy, constantly transporting food and grass to Wuhekou, Tanzhou and other borders, just to prepare."

Hearing Zhong Shuoxing's words, everyone in the military tent clenched their fists, and someone said, "All the tribal army archers have gathered, twenty catapults have been built, fifteen large crossbows have been built, and all the heavy armored guards have also been assembled."

Zhong Shuoxing sat up and reached out to touch the black cannon: "It's not enough. The emperor of Daxia is giving us time to prepare, so these are not enough. Let all archers carry at least fifty arrows. If necessary, someone should attract these things and let the archers ride their horses close to Wuhekou to shoot arrows. Falcon."

When Ashina Falcon heard this, he immediately clasped his fists.

Zhong Shuoxing said: "You go and pick people. You can choose people from all tribes and all legions. If someone refuses to obey, use your bow to make him obey."

Give a slap in the face and give a sweet date.

This is Zhongshuoxing’s way of employing people.

He had just threatened to kill Ashina's troops, but now he was handing over such a great military power to Ashina Falcon.

This made Ashina Falcon startled, and he immediately clasped his fists and said, "I obey your orders."

Zhong said, with his palm against the side of his face, still looking at the artillery in front of him: "What is Xia Qingge waiting for? It's just this level, it won't make our entire army's morale fall to the bottom, but if it's not to make our entire army's morale fall to the bottom, why do you do these things step by step."

Although Zhong Shuoxing's voice was faint, everyone in the military tent could still hear it clearly.

No one said anything, just looked at Zhong and said okay.

The meetings over the past few days have been like this, because there really is nothing more to talk about. They really don't care about what the Queen of Da Xia is thinking. They just want to find a way to crack these weapons of Da Xia.

But it seems that there is really no other way except those few methods.

But I have to try hard to think about it.

Very pathetic.

It is normal to think of ways and countermeasures when fighting a war, but this is the first time that I am at a loss.

"Shuozhou, Rouran"

Zhong Shuoxing seemed to suddenly realize something and spoke immediately.

Hearing this, everyone looked at Zhong and said okay.

Shuozhou is naturally what the people of Daxia call the northern border.

Shuozhou borders the six towns of Rouran. Ever since the Rouran was conquered in Mobei, the king of the previous generation established six vassal towns and connected them in a line. On the one hand, they established a front line for attacking Daxia, and on the other hand, they established checkpoints for defending the southern part of Mobei.

And the facts have proved that what the king did at that time was right. For decades, because of the existence of the six vassal states, Mobei completely blocked Daxia's intention to move north.

It was with the help of that place that the former king was able to easily penetrate deep into the northern desert!

But what is the point of mentioning this?

Zhong Shuoxing said, "Erzhu and the others should have received the information about Daxia's weapons."

Zhou Qian nodded: "Judging from the time, they must have received it. But you mentioned the Six Garrisons of Rouran. Is it Zong Ze who is going to take action?"

Zhong Shuoxing turned and looked at the huge map in front of him, his eyes fixed on the location of Rouran: "Xia Qingge is waiting for news from Zongze. If the six towns of Rouran are breached and the news reaches us, the morale of the soldiers will completely fall to the bottom, so this is why she is attacking their hearts step by step."

Everyone who heard this was surprised, held their breath, and stared at Zhong Shuoxing.

It is said that he walked to the map and put his hand on the location of Shuozhou.

And just below, Yuwen Tai frowned: "Even if there are such weapons, my father, Erzhu and other elite troops in Mobei are all here, and 200,000 troops are stationed in the six towns, and they can provide support from the front and back. Even if we don't leave the city, we can only defend it..."

At this point, Yuwen Tai looked at the black cannon, and for no reason his mind recalled the power of the black iron lump he saw that day when it was thrown out. He also thought of what Heba Tao and others said about this cannon being more powerful than the thing that day, and most importantly, the place where they were standing was destroyed in an instant by this thing.

Heba Tao said, "Send a message to Heba Duba, Erzhu Xinxing, Mozhe Dati and others immediately to reinforce the city walls and never leave the city to fight the enemy! Leave a way out!"

Ding He said, "Isn't the emperor of Daxia very smart? It's easy for people to guess her thoughts. Maybe you are overthinking it. The Six Garrisons are military towns, and the city walls are no less than those of Wuhekou. How could they be breached so easily, even with these weapons, even if the one leading the army is Zongze?"

Zhong Shuoxing looked at Ding He: "Because even if we know, so what?"

Ding He couldn't help but frown, but immediately said: "We can't fight here, why not send the whole army to Rouran for support, destroy Zongze, and march into Shuozhou. The gates of Daxia will also be wide open, and after Shuozhou is their capital Luoan."

Bai Shi Qi Xiang said, "If we leave now, they will come out and chase us from behind. They may even split their forces and go to the royal court."

A general said: "If we fight on the grassland, even if they have this weapon, we will..."

But when he said this, the general frowned, because on the grassland, the cavalry they were proud of were no longer having the upper hand, just like what happened to Helian Bobo that day.

Bang!

A fat general with a particularly bad temper stood up and said, "This won't work, that won't work. We can't fight this war anymore! We might as well just withdraw and go back to the grasslands we are familiar with. I don't believe that even if Daxia has these weapons, we can really accomplish anything if we fight separately."

Bai Shi Qi Xiang said: "Withdraw the troops, and the initiative will be completely in their hands."

Quiet~~

When Bai Shi Qi Xiang finished saying this.

Once again, the military tent fell into silence, just like before.

And after each silence, the particularly solemn and suffocating atmosphere became more intense.

But at this time, the curtain on one side of the military tent was lifted, accompanied by a voice: "Defeat the enemy."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Po Di stood up immediately.

Everyone in the military tent looked over.

It was Shulü Ping.

Most people were surprised that they hadn't noticed the Queen Mother sitting in for so many days.

Everyone saluted.

Shulü Ping said, "Block all news around the camp. All news from the Rouran or elsewhere must be sent to me."

Hearing this, everyone looked at Shulü Ping.

Yuwen Tai saluted towards Shulüping and said, "Queen Mother, if the Rouran ask for help..."

Shulü Ping looked at Yuwen Tai: "The Rouran will not ask for help."

After saying this, Shulü Ping looked at everyone in the military tent and said, "The shaman priests and wizards will be here soon. We will launch the attack when the time comes. I will be at the front line then."

As he spoke, Shulü Ping looked at everyone in the military tent with a stern face and said, "Today, I promise that whoever climbs the wall of Wuhekou Pass first will be given the surname Yelu, and he can choose any grassland in Mobei. If he conquers Daxia, he will be rewarded with a state."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately beat their chests and saluted.

only

Everyone looked at the thing called a cannon placed in the middle, and fell into deep thought.

Although the Queen Mother's rewards were generous.

but.

How to do it.
