Seeing this, Li Guang immediately stepped forward, intending to invite Marshal Han to sit in the commander's seat. Marshal Han replied:
"Marshal, just treat me as an ordinary soldier. If you need me to take action, just give the order."
Li Guang nodded, turned around and returned to his seat, and said:
"Officers, barbarian troops will attack Hanyu Pass early tomorrow morning, and they will use these cannons. This will give us a good show."
Kuli Tuo placed too much trust in Jia Feng, betting the lives of more than 200,000 soldiers in the enemy camp on Jia Feng, which would inevitably lead to his defeat.
The enemy troops are currently out of supplies, and this battle is a matter of life and death for them. They will fight with their backs to the wall and are determined to take Hanyu Pass.
This battle is equally important to us; whether we can completely drive the barbarian troops out of the country depends on this battle.
Upon hearing this, the generals immediately became excited. After waiting for so long, they had finally arrived at the decisive battle against the barbarian soldiers. This time, they were determined to drive the barbarian soldiers out of the country.
"Gu Huai, obey my command."
"Your subordinate is here."
"General Gu led his 50,000 troops to ambush the enemy camp under cover of night at Luoqiaogou. The camp is less than ten miles away. Once you hear the explosion, immediately lead your troops to attack the enemy camp."
"Your humble servant obeys."
"Gao Ting, obey my command."
Gao Ting was secretly delighted. He had done a good job interrogating Hua Dao last time, and the marshal had already seen his abilities. This time, he would definitely be assigned an important task.
"Your subordinate is here."
"General Gao led 50,000 troops to ambush the enemy camp at Ba Mao Mountain, forming a pincer movement with General Gu. Upon hearing the explosion, he immediately led his troops into the enemy camp."
"Your humble servant obeys."
Gao Ting happily accepted the order and left.
"Yue Heng obeys."
"Your subordinate is here."
"General Yue led 50,000 troops to ambush at Shitouji. After the defeat of the barbarian troops, they will surely pass through here. General Yue can intercept and kill the remaining barbarian troops here."
"Your humble servant obeys."
Yue Heng accepted the order and left.
"The other soldiers are to remain in the city and await my orders to leave the city and fight the enemy at any time."
"Yes, ma'am."
Everyone knew that Li Guang's troop deployment was based on the assumption that Jia Feng's cannons would be ineffective and that a major accident would occur.
If Li Guang misjudges the situation and Jia Feng's cannons are operational, the gates of Hanyu Pass will be blown up, and his side will undoubtedly be defeated.
Although everyone was worried, they resolutely carried out the order. Li Guang was a brilliant strategist and would not make mistakes. This time, they would definitely be able to completely defeat the barbarian troops and drive them out of the country.
At this moment, Marshal Han stepped forward, bowed to Li Guang, and asked:
"Marshal, do you have any missions for me to carry out?"
Li Guang quickly got up, walked to Marshal Han, and bowed deeply.
"Marshal Han is stationed at Hanyu Pass to watch how our soldiers defeat the barbarian troops."
Marshal Han nodded and said:
"Your humble servant obeys."
Meanwhile, in the barbarian camp, Kuli Tuo sat at his command desk, with Jia Feng beside him issuing orders and deploying troops.
The barbarian soldiers knew that if the Iron General's cannons were as powerful as Jia Feng had said, they could take Hanyu Pass in one fell swoop.
The next morning, before dawn, Jia Feng sent someone to Hanyu Pass to scout out the situation and see what was happening there.
Soon the messenger returned with the news that Hanyu Pass was the same as usual, with no changes. The same guards were still on the city gate tower.
Jia Feng nodded, this was exactly what he had been hoping for, and immediately ordered the ten cannons to be transported to the gate of Hanyu Pass, with 200,000 troops from the main camp following closely behind.
After bombarding Hanyu Pass, the barbarian soldiers launched a full-scale attack and stormed into Hanyu Pass.
Under the cover of night, the barbarian soldiers pushed the Iron General cannons and quietly arrived at the gate of Hanyu Pass. The ten cannons were lined up in a row, waiting for the order to fire and bombard the city.
As dawn broke, Jia Feng raised his head, listened to the commotion at Hanyu Pass, and then glanced back at the endless barbarian soldiers behind him, a sinister sneer appearing on his face.
"Sage, shall we attack now?" Kurituo asked.
Jia Feng inspected the cannon again, and after confirming that there were no problems, he said:
"You can fire now."
The cannonballs and gunpowder were already loaded; all that was needed was to light the fuse to fire the cannonballs.
At this moment, Kurituo and Jia Feng began to evacuate. Once the cannons were lit, they would make a deafening noise that most people could not bear.
Once Kurituo and Jiafeng had retreated to a safe area, the barbarian soldiers began to fire cannons.
After the cannon's fuse was lit, the soldier who lit it immediately retreated behind the cannon, then covered his ears with his hands, stared wide-eyed, wanting to see the power of the Iron General.
Soon, a series of loud explosions erupted at the front, and the entire scene was engulfed in flames and thick smoke.
The cannons manufactured by Jia Feng were designed with front and rear doors in order to facilitate the loading of large amounts of ammunition. When using the cannons, the front door of the cannon must be opened and the rear door closed.
For some reason, during this bombardment of Hanyu Pass, the cannon barrels of the Iron General cannons were closed at the front and open at the back.
Before firing the cannon, Jia Feng made a special check, but surprisingly, he couldn't find anything.
It is unknown what Puqing did to these cannons, causing the front door to close and the rear door to open, so that the shells and gunpowder in the cannon barrels were fired from the rear door and exploded among the enemy soldiers.
The barbarian soldiers stood in neat rows behind the cannons, completely unprepared. They never dreamed that these ten iron cannons would fire shells at their rear.
In that one blow, tens of thousands of enemy soldiers were killed, and countless others were wounded.
At this moment, Marshal Han was standing on a crenellation of the gate tower of Hanyu Pass, witnessing everything that was happening in the enemy troops below the city, and he was shocked.
At first, Marshal Han was very worried that if Li Guang's prediction was wrong, these ten cannons could destroy half of Hanyu Pass, and he himself would be crushed to pieces if he stood there.
At this moment, Marshal Han felt that Li Guang was not a human being at all, but a god. Otherwise, how could the Iron General Cannon, which Jia Feng had painstakingly created, have blown up the barbarian soldiers?
Just as Marshal Han was stunned, the city gate suddenly opened, and the soldiers surged out of Hanyu Pass like a tide, rushing towards the enemy troops.
Li Guang led an elite force out of the city and headed straight for Kurituo.
Kuli Tuo is Marshal Han's old rival. This time, Li Guang must capture him alive. Once he is captured, there will be no more war on the border.
As for Jia Feng, he didn't care. If Daoist and his junior brother wanted to clean house, that was their sect's business.
Jia Feng was shocked and immediately realized the problem with the cannon. How could this happen? Was it fate?
Before Kurit could react, he quickly fled, otherwise Kurit would have skinned him alive.
The sika deer under Jia Feng's hind legs was extremely agile. Jia Feng urged the reins, and the sika deer spread its four hooves and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
