Chapter 389: Blast them to see the Qin army has crossed the east...
Seeing that the Qin army had already crossed the Dongjin border a mile away, but the Dongjin army still hadn't appeared, Qin Feiyu couldn't help but be curious, "Yunfan, do you think they haven't sent any troops yet? Are they planning to waste time with us, or do they want us to push their limits and dig all the way into that valley?"
Xu Yunfan: "I think it's the latter. Their Niu Army suffered a major setback here. Including De Pei, we've already killed six of their fiercest generals. I'm afraid Sandong is currently discussing using the valley as a defense line. Dad, I suspect they think I'm foolish, young and impulsive. If they don't send troops, I'll foolishly lead them over."
"Waiting like this forever isn't a solution." Qin Feiyu frowned and said, "Although we're not short of food right now, with so many soldiers, the daily food consumption is still huge."
Even if tens of thousands of conscripts are not needed at the moment, they cannot starve.
If this war had been won earlier, tens of thousands of conscripts might have been able to go back and participate in spring planting.
Qin Feiyu had never dared to think of this kind of idea before. After all, it was too fantastical. When he came here, he had already prepared not to return to Beijing for several years.
But after seeing the power of the weapons brought by Xu Yunfan, he dared to think about some things.
Xu Yunfan touched his chin, "Dad, don't worry. I'll go back tonight and make preparations. I'll observe the night sky. If Run is okay, I'll take people to the valley in Dongjin Kingdom tomorrow to see what's going on. If we can take it down, we'll take the initiative to attack. They have the time to waste, but I don't. It's not good for the position of Right Prime Minister to be vacant for too long."
"Hmm?" Qin Feiyu was a little confused. "Your Majesty hasn't appointed a prime minister yet?"
"Why appoint someone? Father knows that, apart from the Left Prime Minister, all the other ministers in the court are far inferior to me. If they want to appoint someone as Prime Minister, they should at least give me priority. I have already made an agreement with His Majesty. When I help Father repel the foreign enemies from the Three Easts and return to the capital, I will be promoted to the Right Prime Minister."
Qin Feiyu almost stumbled, "Are you serious?"
How come this guy is so brave?
The position of right prime minister, how dare this kid dream of it?
The Three East Alliance's assistance at such a critical moment can certainly help Xu Yunfan get promoted quickly, but at the same time, he will also become a thorn in the eyes of more people.
"Of course it's true, Dad. How about it? Are you very proud to have a brother-in-law like me?" Xu Yunfan said so proudly.
Qin Feiyu was speechless.
Regardless of whether Xu Yunfan can take the position of right prime minister, based on his current status as junior teacher, everyone can't help but praise him for having a brother-in-law with a promising future.
Back then, he paid too much to become a general.
Back then, he was a general at a young age and was considered a popular figure in the official circles of the capital.
But he didn't expect that his brother-in-law was even better than him. He was so young but he had already climbed to the second rank.
After a while, Qin Feiyu smiled and nodded, "Yes, proud. Daddy is proud of you, Yunfan, you can definitely do it, but Daddy wants to tell you that even if you don't have these, you are still Daddy's pride, half son-in-law and half son. Daddy doesn't want you to be so tired and work so hard, so it doesn't matter if you walk a little slower."
Xu Yunfan has always known that the Qin family is kind. Although Qin Feiyu rarely talks to him, Xu Yunfan knows that Qin Feiyu also loves him. "Dad, you are so kind. It is my blessing to be your son-in-law."
"You kid," Qin Feiyu couldn't help but pinch Xu Yunfan's face as he looked at the smiling man, "you're really rare. Just like your father-in-law, you're so sweet-mouthed."
Xu Yunfan: "...Dad, my father-in-law is so sweet-talking. What I said is from the bottom of my heart."
Qin Feiyu just smiled.
Qin Run said that Xu Yunfan had the habit of taking notes. Xiao Hengzhi had seen his notebook in Xu Yunfan's study. The records on it... uh, Xiao Hengzhi was embarrassed to say it.
Xu Yunfan was a man with a high aspirations. Even if a dog barked at him twice, he would remember it. If he "retaliated" for something, he would hit the dog in the back to show that he had taken revenge.
Now that the three countries of Dongjin have delayed his return to Beijing, Xu Yunfan has been holding a grudge. If he doesn't vent his anger, he will probably be unhappy.
That night, Xu Yunfan sat outside, not knowing what he was doing. Finally, he fiddled around in the tent, and no one knew what he was busy with.
The next day, Xu Yunfan called Xu Er and the others over and handed them the paragliders. "Is there any higher ground nearby? Come on, I'll take you on an exciting adventure today."
"Young Master, what is this?" Xu Er and others were holding the big bag in their hands. They had never seen the things in their hands before. They did not look like things from the Dayan Dynasty.
Xu Yunfan: "This is a paraglider. Today, I'll take you up in the sky for a while. Tomorrow we'll go meet the Sandong Army and see what traps these rats have set for us."
Xu Er took Xu Yunfan to a hill outside the military camp. Xu Yunfan looked down at the bottom of the hill and thought, "Well, this height is acceptable."
After personally teaching and demonstrating several times, Xu Yunfan repeatedly confirmed, "Have you understood everything? If you still don't understand, ask. Don't be embarrassed. This is a very serious matter."
"I understand everything. Young Master, please rest assured." More than a dozen people shouted in unison, their voices loud and with a hint of excitement.
Xu Yunfan looked at them one by one, and after making sure that none of them were lying for the sake of face, he turned around and sprinted straight down the mountain.
Amidst the shocked and nervous expressions of Xu Er and the others, Xu Yunfan quickly controlled the paraglider to fly over, hovering nearby and shouting, "Alright, come down one by one."
"Look, what's that? An eagle?"
"Eagle, that looks like a piece of cloth?"
"It's not cloth, it looks like there's a person hanging underneath."
The Qin army soon discovered a dozen people "flying" in the air. The deputy general in charge of vigilance thought they were foreign enemies, so he raised his hand and asked the archers to prepare. He waited for the enemy to come down and was within the range, and then shot them like hedgehogs.
"Wait, Deputy General Xiao, that seems to be Master Xu and Guard Xu II!"
"What?" Deputy General Xiao quickly opened his eyes wide to look carefully. Oh wow, it really was their Young Master Xu. "What is Young Master Xu going to do? Why is he going up to the sky?"
There are many people who have the same question as Deputy General Xiao, but Xu Yunfan has already passed away, so who can they ask?
"How do you feel? Have you learned how to control it?" Xu Yunfan kept an eye on Xu Er and the others. "We're flying at this altitude, so the enemy soldiers from Sandong can't shoot us. Don't be afraid."
How could there be any fear among the twenty or so people? They were very happy at the moment. Wow, this paraglider is so interesting. Not only can it let them fly into the sky, but they can also control the direction. If they can fly above the Sandong Army tomorrow, wow, how exciting it will be!
In the afternoon, a dozen people found a place to land, and Lieutenant General Qin was already waiting below.
Upon learning that Xu Yunfan planned to fly over and blow something up, Deputy General Qin was speechless.
For a moment, I didn't know whether I should be happy or observe a moment of silence for the people of the Sandong Army. You said to fight, so just fight, but you had to choose this period when Xu Shao Shi appeared in Dayan to fight.
This is like seeing a ghost.
Qin Feiyu was silent for a moment before agreeing to Xu Yunfan's initiative to lead his men to attack the Sandong army.
War is war, and there is no need to talk about martial ethics or not. When the enemy invades and burns, kills and loots, they will not tell you about showing mercy and respecting the elderly and loving the young.
The hand grenades made by Xu Yunfan are quite powerful, with a lethality of about thirty meters. So, more than a dozen of them each took a bag and went over to blow it up once before coming back. After going a few times, these people would probably be scared.
Of course I am afraid.
People are afraid of unknown creatures and even weapons, not to mention that in ancient times, these ancient people witnessed the lethality of thermal weapons for the first time.
At first, when the soldiers of the Sandong Army saw a dozen strangely colored objects flying in the sky, they were confused and gathered together to discuss and guess what were flying in the sky?
Birds?
They had never seen such a big bird.
As the object flew closer and closer, the soldiers saw that it was actually a person flying above them, and they couldn't help but panic.
Several generals came out of the main tent, squinted their eyes and looked up at the sky, and immediately ordered the archers to shoot the man down.
Xu Yunfan above was wearing a pair of glasses and looking around as if he was looking for something. Finally, he found the target outside the densely packed cowhide tents below.
To catch a thief, catch the leader first; to kill an enemy, kill the general first.
Xu Yunfan shouted, "Second Brother Xu, look over there. Just like I taught you, with me as the center, those generals in the three directions are probably newly sent to blow him up."
Xu Yunfan said to bomb, so they bombed.
There are quite a few soldiers in the Sandong Kingdom, and the people below are densely packed, and it looks like there are at least hundreds of thousands of them. If all these people were sent out at the beginning, it would be no problem to defeat the Qin family army.
But they were confident of victory and wanted to engage in psychological warfare. Now, their eldest young master has been attacked. No one knows who will be the winner.
Loud noises exploded all around, and the Sandong army was thrown into chaos.
There has to be chaos. If they don't run away, they will end up being blown to the sky.
It was so terrifying. Just a dozen people messed up their camp in an instant. The soldiers' terrified howls and the horses' neighing could not be summed up in just one word: chaos.
Seeing that it was almost done, Xu Yunfan waved his hand and signaled to go back.
The generals sent by the Three Kingdoms were killed by him in one fell swoop. Now, let's see what they will fight for.
But this was not the end. When they reached the valley, Xu Yunfan threw down a few more grenades, which immediately blew out the soldiers hiding in the cave.
After another round of indiscriminate bombing, Xu Yunfan and others returned home.
It’s horrible!!
Are the people of Dayan devils?
Why do they have such powerful weapons and can fly in the sky? They don’t know where to attack, they can’t hit them with their axes, and they can’t shoot them with arrows. They can only watch the other side do whatever they want, come with confidence, and leave with satisfaction.
It can be said that the Sandong army was completely defenseless after Xu Yunfan's move.
Right now, even if they build large crossbows, it might not be enough.
When the prince of Dongjin heard about this, he was furious. He immediately went on an expedition with the princes of Dongdan and Dongyi, just to meet the omnipotent Master Dayan.
Xu Yunfan blew up the valley and personally led his soldiers to attack the next day. Within two days, he occupied the entire valley.
Xu Yunfan almost killed all the generals sent by the three kingdoms, but he did not relax. Instead, he sent people to set up defense lines in the valley area.
It is true that people’s ambition is to want more once they get something.
Xu Yunfan was no longer satisfied with repelling Sandong. He wanted to let the people of Sandong know the consequences of attacking Dayan.
Xu Yunfan had not returned to the tent for more than ten days. He stayed outside day and night, and led his soldiers to advance ten miles into the Dongjin area.
There are several villages nearby within this ten-mile area. Xu Yunfan brought his soldiers and ordered that people should have humanity and that the people are innocent. Anyone who dares to raise his evil hands against innocent people will be killed by Xu Yunfan, no matter who it is.
The Qin family army felt indescribably complicated. They had never thought that one day they would reach Dongjin and attack the local people. The suffering they had endured more than ten years ago was enough for future generations to remember.
Looking at the women and husbands, young and old, in the village, each of them protecting their children with fear in their eyes, and tightly gripping the hoes in their hands when they make any movement, the fear in their eyes is so heartbreaking that it makes people feel unbearable.
Xu Yunfan asked his men to gather all the villagers. These villagers could not understand the Dayan language, and the Qin army had no way to communicate with them, so they could only use force. Some old men misunderstood that they were going to capture their daughters-in-law and husbands, and they were so angry that they wanted to kill them all, but were suppressed by force.
It took a long time for the Qin family army to gather people from several nearby villages.
Well, not many people, less than a thousand.
Xu Yunfan took out the loudspeaker he carried with him and started to speak loudly, basically telling the people of Dongjin that the land under their feet was no longer Dongjin's land, but theirs, Dayan's.
Of course, if you guys are willing to stay, you are the people of Dayan. If you don't want to, then get out of here. He won't kill innocent people, but he won't let people who are not Dayan people live in the land that Dayan has just conquered.
An old man, trembling with a cane, walked to the front and bravely looked Xu Yunfan in the eye. "General, if we stay, what will you do with us?"
"How will we deal with you?" Xu Yunfan's attitude was not as friendly as usual. He simply said, "Of course, we will send someone to change your household registration and count your number. After that, you will of course continue to farm the land. You will pay the same taxes as the people of Dayan usually pay. What do you think? If you don't want to be a citizen of Dayan, you can pack up your things now and start your wandering life."
"Is what your Excellency said true?" The people of Dongjin were surprised.
This was different from what they had imagined. When the Dayan army attacked, their Dongjin soldiers ran away and no one cared about them. Even though they begged for money, no one was willing to take them away.
How can we take them with us? They are old, weak, disabled and pregnant. They can’t walk far at all. Taking them with us would only be a burden.
So, they were abandoned.
They thought that what was waiting for them would be hell on earth, but it wasn't.
They hid in the house. These soldiers from the Great Yan Dynasty did not kick down the doors of their houses, nor did they burn, kill, or loot, nor did they touch their daughters-in-law and husbands. They just spoke in a language they could not understand and pushed them here helplessly.
At this critical moment, the generals and soldiers of their country regarded them as a burden and abandoned them, which is extremely disheartening.
In addition, the taxes in Dongjin have been suffocating for many years, and the people have been dissatisfied for a long time.
If this general can give them a place to settle down, there is nothing wrong with them becoming people of Dayan.
