The Jagged Empire of Daqin

Originally, Li Bu was not allowed to go to the front because he was worried that something unexpected would happen to Li Bu and the morale of the army and people in the Northern Wei Dynasty would collapse. But now that the Qin army came, Li Bu had to go, because the Qin army would definitely need the help of the Northern Wei army when it went south to fight against the Southern Wei. It is even possible to temporarily command the army of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

The generals of the Northern Wei Dynasty who are currently in charge of the army on the border are all proud and arrogant masters, and it is difficult to obey the command of the Qin army. Only when Li Bu is there, these Northern Wei troops will obediently obey Li Bu, and Li Bu will serve for the overall situation. It is important to temporarily obey the command of the Qin army to avoid the gap between the Qin and Northern Wei armies.

"Haha, that's great, I can finally go to the front line!" Li Bu smiled and showed his yellow teeth, very happy.

He is looking forward to the joint battle with the Qin army, and even more looking forward to the rumored terrifying combat power of the Qin army!

"When are you going?" Tai Gong asked.

"Now!" Tang Shao said without thinking.

"Now?" Tai Gong was stunned for a while, and couldn't help but look up at the dark hall, "It should be the four quarters of the Hai hour, and the night is extremely dark. Isn't it too hasty to go now? Can't we wait for tomorrow's dawn to leave?"

"I don't care, I can see the road clearly!" Li Bu said disapprovingly.

Tang Shao looked solemn, and said in a neutral tone: "If you don't go now, how can we show our sincerity in the Northern Wei Dynasty? And in order to let Yang Hu feel that our Northern Wei Dynasty attaches great importance to the Qin army, Li Shuai will not only go, but His Royal Highness and The minister also wants to go, of course, this trip is just to meet Yang Hu, there is no need to go south with the Qin army!"

Hearing this sentence, Tai Gong couldn't help hesitating, and said in a hesitant tone: "I want to go to Yang Hu too? Isn't this self-declining?"

"Ah..." Tang Shao sighed softly, and said helplessly, "His Royal Highness, our current situation in the Northern Wei Dynasty is no different from that under the fence. Please understand the situation like this!"

"Okay!" Tai Gong reluctantly agreed.

After a period of time, Tai Gong, Li Bu, Tang Shao, Tian Jixian and a group of guards with swords left the palace. In order to arrive as soon as possible, all of them rode horses and rushed northward at full speed. The destination was directly at the Wanhuangling area!

After a non-stop overnight raid, they finally arrived at Wanhuang Ridge at Sishi the next day, and arrived at the Qin Army's barracks!

"This is the barracks of the Qin army. Stop here and report your name!"

Just when the Taigong and others approached the gate of the Qin Army's barracks, the Qin Army guarding the barracks' gate seemed to be facing an enemy, and spread out at an extremely fast speed. The Qin Army in the barracks also rushed over after hearing the news. In ten breaths of time, thousands of Qin troops had already set up their positions at the gate of the barracks, and as time went by, more and more Qin troops came to support the barracks gate!

The crown prince's face was a bit ugly, this is the Northern Wei Dynasty, and it's near the capital city of Dazhen, so it's a shame to be stopped by others in her own territory!

Tian Ji jumped off his horse in a hurry, and stood between the Qin army and the crown prince with his hands open. He explained to the generals of the Qin army at the gate of the barracks with a rather hurried expression: "Brothers of the Qin army, don't be nervous. Jixian, there must be Qin Jun brothers who recognize me!"

PS: "Please order in full, order in full, order in full, and say important things three times!"

Chapter 788 High-level meeting between the two parties!

"I know you, but who is behind you!" a captain of the Qin Army asked with a straight face.

Hearing this, Tang Shao immediately ordered his horse to take a step forward, cupped his hands with a smile on his face and said, "This is Tang Shao, Prime Minister of the Northern Wei Dynasty!" This is my Prince of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and this is Li Bu, the Marshal of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the guards with swords behind him are accompanying guards!"

"Why are you here?" Captain Qin Jun asked with a straight face.

"Isn't this why I came here to greet Qin Jun when I heard that Qin Jun is coming!" Tang Shao explained with a smile on his face, his attitude was very low, and he didn't have the airs of No. 1 prime minister at all.

At this time, Yang Zhong, one of the four sons of the Yang family, just rushed over. When he saw his acquaintance Tian Jixian, and happened to hear the introduction of Tang Shao and others, he hurriedly said to the surrounding Qin army officers and soldiers: "Everyone retreat, this time But our host, what is it to keep others out in other people's territory, hurry up and let the hosts come in!"

"As ordered!"

Soon, the soldiers blocking the entrance of the barracks retreated to both sides, giving way in the middle. Yang Zhong stepped towards Tang Shao and the others, then bowed down and saluted: "My servant, Yang Zhong, I am here to stand for the soldiers who are helpless." Li apologizes, and I hope that you adults will not remember the mistakes of villains!"

Tai Gong jumped off the horse, walked up to Yang Zhong, and said with a smile: "It is understandable for the soldiers to intercept a stranger approaching the barracks. General Yang is polite!"

"Thank you, Prince, for your understanding!" Yang Zhong replied with a smile on his face.

"May I ask where General Yang is?" Tai Gong asked.

"Oh, I'm in command, I'll take everyone there immediately, please!"

"Then there is General Lao Yang!"

Next, Yang Zhong took the Taigong, Li Bu, Tang Shao, and Tian Jixian into the Qin army barracks, and led them all the way to the commander's tent located in the center of the barracks. As for the more than a hundred guards with swords brought by the Taigong, He was led by other soldiers to rest.

Handsome account!

In the handsome tent, Yang Hu was wearing a tiger-pattern armor, a purple tasseled helmet on his head, and a sharp sword on his waist. Even when the army was resting, he never left his armor and sword. At this time, he was holding a pair of maps carefully. Look at it, and this map is exactly the map of the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Southern Wei Dynasty.

This map was not easy to get. Yang Hu bought it from a merchant at a high price. It can be said that this map is unique. Even the Northern Wei and Southern Wei may not have such a complete map of the Northern and Southern Weis.

The reason why Yang Hu looked at the territory maps of the Northern and Southern Wei Weis was to get familiar with the Northern and Southern Weis in the shortest possible time, especially some important mountains and rivers and important border towns!

tread... tread...

In vain at this time, there was a sound of light footsteps outside the tent, and then he heard the sound of the curtain being lifted. Yang Hu moved his ears and guessed who was coming. Sure enough, when he looked up, it was Yang Zhong, one of the four sons of the Yang family!

Seeing that it was Yang Zhong who came, Yang Hu lowered his head again, and continued to read the map of the territory of the Northern and Southern Wei Dynasties. While reading it, he asked calmly, "What's the matter?"

Yang Zhong continued to take a few steps forward, and then bowed down to compose a salutary report: "I would like to report to the general, Tian Jixian, the envoy of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Tang Shao, the prime minister of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Li Bu, the Marshal of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and Wei Gong, the prince of the Northern Wei Dynasty. I am in the Qin army barracks, I want to meet the general, and I am waiting thirty steps away from the general's account!"

"Oh?"

Yang Hu raised his brows, his eyes flashed a look of surprise, he didn't expect the people from the Northern Wei Dynasty to come so quickly.

This sincerity is not bad!

Yang Hu put down the map of the territory of the Northern and Southern Wei Dynasties in his hand, and said softly, "Let them in!"

"Obey!" Yang Zhong replied with a respectful expression, then turned and left. Not long after leaving, he brought Tai Gong, Tang Shao, Li Bu, Tian Jixian and others into the tent. Yang Hu got up from the handsome tent, walked towards the four of them, then bent down with a smile on his face and saluted:

"The prince of the Northern Wei Dynasty came here, and I would have been disappointed, I hope you will forgive me!"

"General Yang, you are welcome!"

"General Yang is polite!"

"Speaking of it, I, the Northern Wei Dynasty, are far behind!"

Tai Gong, Tang Shao, and Li Bu successively made edits to return the gift.

After talking politely for a while, Yang Hu said straight to the point: "Not much nonsense, you guys came at a good time, I was going to discuss with you the strategy of going south to fight against the Southern Wei Dynasty, everyone, please take a look!"

General Yang Hu took the map of the territory of the Northern and Southern Wei Dynasties on the case, and put it gently on the ground, while everyone stood beside him, bending over to look at the map of the territory of the Northern and Southern Wei Dynasties. Seeing that the map was so clear and detailed, Tang Shao couldn't help asking He said, "May I ask General Yang, where did this map come from?"

"I bought it with a lot of money from a merchant!" Yang Hu replied simply and clearly.

"It's rare!" Li Bu looked at the map and couldn't help admiring. Even though the Northern and Southern Weis had been at odds for several years, the Northern Wei Dynasty didn't have such a detailed map of its territory. On the other hand, the Qin army got this exquisite map when it first arrived. , No wonder the Qin army can win every battle. From the hardware point of view, the Qin army has already won.

Yang Hu squatted down and pointed to the border between the Northern and Southern Weis. The border between the Northern and Southern Weis was very long, estimated to be more than [-] miles long, covering the border of the Southern Wei. "Northern and Southern Wei mainly fought at that border ?” Yang Hu turned to look at Tang Shao and the others and asked.

Li Bu, who was seventy-six out of ten, squatted down, stretched out his hand and nodded at three places on the border between the Northern and Southern Weis, and said at the same time: "The Northern and Southern Weis were mainly carried out at the three locations of Fenglingkou, Peach Blossom Valley, and Liusha River. Confrontation!"

"According to the first battle report, my [-] troops at Fenglingkou in the Northern Wei Dynasty were brutally attacked by heavy troops from the Southern Wei Dynasty. There were less than [-] troops left in the [-] troops. Afterwards, [-] troops from the Southern Wei Dynasty passed through the mouth of the wind chime, ready to go around and attack Peach Blossom Valley!"

"Of the remaining 35 Southern Wei troops, 20 are in front of Peach Blossom Valley, and the other 15 Southern Wei troops are fighting against our army at Liusha River, intending to take control of Liusha River from our army. Shahe each has an army of one hundred thousand!"

After hearing this, Yang Hu and Yang Zhong frowned immediately, and their expressions couldn't help becoming serious.

The situation in the Northern Wei Dynasty was even worse than they imagined. There were only 2000 frontier troops along the border of more than 30 miles. Ten thousand, the difference in strength is doubled!

"Are there any other soldiers and horses in the Northern Wei Dynasty?" Yang Hu asked tentatively.

PS: "Ask for a monthly ticket, ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a reward, ask for a full reservation, and ask for four daily requests. I hope you can support me a lot!"

Chapter 789 The First Batch of Artillery in Daqin!

Tang Shao couldn't help shaking his head and said with a wry smile: "The soldiers and horses of the Northern Wei Dynasty have been exhausted, and there are not many young and strong people left in the territory. It can be said that there are no soldiers to use, no soldiers to recruit, and it is a desperate situation. It is precisely because of this that we will be generous. Shamelessly asking for help from the Great Qin Dynasty!"

If the Northern Wei Dynasty was not in a desperate situation, how could Tang Shao send people to the Qin Dynasty thousands of miles away to ask for help?

"In addition to the 40 troops on the border in the Southern Wei Dynasty, are there any soldiers in the country?" Yang Hu asked with a solemn expression.

Tai Gong took over the quarrel and replied personally: "Yes, but not many, they are all standing troops in some places, and the numbers are even and uneven, so they can't cause big storms!"

The Northern Wei Dynasty was in a desperate situation, and the Southern Wei Dynasty was also in a desperate situation. They both had a large territory, few troops, and no money, no money, and no military resources. Therefore, this war is very important. Whoever wants to win will be able to be reborn from adversity. Whoever loses will be completely helpless. turned over.

Hearing that there were only 40 troops in the Southern Wei Dynasty, Yang Hu and Yang Zhong's pressure was greatly reduced. They are not afraid of 40, but they are afraid that there are still 80 million in the Southern Wei family. The Qin army that came from afar was dragged down. After all, no matter whether it was the Southern Wei Dynasty or the Northern Wei Dynasty, there was no place to replenish the Qin army's luggage.

Yang Hu stood up, looked at the crowd solemnly and said: "According to what Li Shuai said, the next step of the Southern Wei Dynasty is to attack the Peach Blossom Valley. In this case, the first target of the Qin army is the Southern Wei army in the Peach Blossom Valley!"

Tai Gong was agitated for a while, and asked urgently: "When is General Yang going to leave?"

"Tomorrow is dawn, and we can go out!" Yang Hu said without thinking.

He would like to let the Qin army rest for a few more days, and let the northern and southern Weis fight for a longer period of time, but time waits for no one, and food does not wait for time. It means that the duration of the Qin army's battle is reduced by one day.

"That's great. If we march quickly, General Yang will be able to reach Peach Blossom Valley within two months. I believe that the army of Peach Blossom Valley can carry the Qin army to help!" Tai Gong's face showed an unconcealable excitement. Let the Qin army go south to help.

Yang Hu was expressionless, and said in an unquestionable tone: "The ugly words are in front of me. I hope that when our Qin army is fighting the Southern Wei army, all actions of the Northern Wei army will follow this general's command and not act without authorization. I will need the Northern Wei army to take action." The army cooperates fully!"

It is necessary to take over the military power of the Northern Wei Dynasty. He doesn't want to fight for it. The Northern Wei Dynasty has become a pig teammate.

"Don't worry, General Yang, we are here this time to meet General Yang, and to let Li Shuai go south with the Qin army. Li Shuai is my old commander in the Northern Wei Dynasty. With him, we will definitely let the Northern Wei army Obey General Yang's military order!" Tang Shao raised his hand in salute and replied calmly.

Yang Hu nodded in satisfaction, "That's good, then the matter is settled like this. Tomorrow dawn, we will break camp and head to Peach Blossom Valley!"

"Then look forward to the triumphant return of General Yang!"

"General Lao Yang is here!"

Tang Shao, Tai Gong, Li Bu, and Tian Ji first bowed to Yang Hu to salute. When everyone looked at Yang Hu, their eyes were full of anticipation. They hoped that Yang Hu could win this battle. The crucial decisive battle, as long as this battle is won, the civil war between the Northern and Southern Weis will be declared over.

The Northern Wei Dynasty will inherit the will of the former emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty and rise again in the extreme south of Kyushu!Everyone thought to themselves, looking forward to the early arrival of this day.

.....

Dawn the next day!

The mighty [-] Qin troops marched out their camps, and went all the way south along the official road, heading straight for the border between the Northern and Southern Wei Dynasties. Monitor the movement of the Qin army.

Especially the secret work of the Southern Wei Dynasty, there was no indirect surveillance at twelve hours a day, and every time the Qin army went to a place, they had to send news back.

Time passed slowly, and the days passed by!

One and a half months in a flash!

San Qin 26 June 27!

Twenty miles north of the Great Qin Empire, Beizhou, and Xianyang City, the weapon testing ground!

"boom"

"boom"

The second row of artillery positions consisted of [-] ugly cow-style artillery, which continuously roared at the target [-] steps away, causing earth-shattering roars to be heard continuously from the weapons testing ground, and fiery fireworks soaring into the sky. rise.

Half of the land on the weapons testing ground has been turned into scorched earth, the air is filled with thick gunpowder smoke, and the ground is also pitted and ravaged by shells.

Each ugly bull artillery is operated by [-] artillerymen, each of whom performs his own duties!

"Haha, that's cool!"

"That's right, if we go to the battlefield, even if the opponents are all wearing heavy armor, they will not be our opponents. If we shoot down, there will be gods and demons!"

"It's too powerful, I really look forward to the day when I go to the battlefield!"

"quickly!"

After a round of shelling, thousands of artillerymen talked with their faces flushed, and everyone was very excited.

After several months, the first hundred artillerymen trained by the Ordnance Department successfully taught [-] artillerymen. In addition to the church, they were also proficient and mastered the ugly bull artillery. The Ordnance Department also sent special people to teach them daily Maintaining and repairing artillery, replacing parts and barrels, etc., these artillerymen have already learned.

Binghou Fangzi and Minister of the Ministry of War Yang Ze were standing behind the artillery position. Seeing that a round of shelling was over, Yang Ze shouted: "Stop what you are doing and assemble!"

"All stop!"

"Master Shangshu has an order, all stop!"

"Assemble!"

After Yang Ze's voice fell, many artillery generals immediately conveyed Yang Ze's order. After the order was issued, a total of [-] artillerymen immediately lined up in front of Yang Ze. Soldiers in service, so the speed of gathering and arraying is very fast.

Looking at the young soldiers standing in front of him, Yang Ze couldn't help but enviously said: "I really envy you. You have come into contact with artillery at a young age, and you have become the first batch of artillery in history. You are destined to be recorded in history. Forever in history!"

"Swear allegiance to Great Qin! Great Qin Wannian!!"

"Swear allegiance to Great Qin! Great Qin Wannian!!"

One thousand and one hundred artillerymen shouted solemnly!

Yang Ze nodded in satisfaction, and then said aloud: "You have a total of 100 people, of which 1000 have trained for three months, and the other 100 have trained and taught their colleagues for five months. I just observed it. I found that whether it is the former or the latter, you have already mastered the ugly cow artillery!"

"Since you have mastered it, there is no need to continue training. Do you know how many times you have to fire artillery a day? I will tell you now that you add up to at least [-] artillery shots a day!"

PS: "Please book in full!"

Chapter 790 The Ordnance Department is bankrupt!

"Do you know how much the cost of an ugly cow-style artillery is? How much is the cost of a shell? You must not know. I tell you that the cost of an ugly cow-style artillery is 5000 taels. One shell The cost is 100 taels!"

"This also means that the cannonballs you fire are not cannonballs, but white silver. You have to blow up 20 taels of silver a day, and this does not include the cost of barrel damage and parts damage. This officer tells you these, Just to let you know that the imperial court will spare no effort to train you!"
