Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

But in history, it was Su Dingfang who led 200 people to break through Xieli's tooth tent, and Zhang Baoxiang took advantage of it in the end.

In other words, without Xue Li, Su Dingfang would be the most outstanding young man in the army today.

But even without the credit for capturing Xieli alive, this 30-year-old general has already taken the official post of General Zuo Xiaowei!

His ability to lead troops has a faint tendency to be superior to the old commanders.

Leaving Li Jing's character aside, his art of war and his ability to teach his disciples are indeed at the pinnacle.

Su Dingfang's expression happened to meet Liu Bai's eyes.

After being familiar with the scene where the artillery bombarded everything, the scenes under the city did not attract Liu Bai at all.

In the face of advanced production capacity, the ancient and tyrannical nomads were as weak as quails.

When the weapons of the Central Plains reached the level of frightening to the bone, the surrounding nomads gradually changed from being good at conquering and fighting to being good at singing and dancing.

Weapons can not only kill, but also kill!

In fact, Liu Bai didn't pay much attention to Su Dingfang before.

One is because his relationship with Li Jing is too close.

The second reason is that, as a rare young leader in the army, he had some conflicts with Xue Li.

However, Su Dingfang and Xue Li are still very similar.

At least, Xue Li's expression when he saw the cannon for the first time was exactly the same as Su Dingfang's!

This ability to accept new things may make Su Dingfang a real military leader in the future.

Liu Bai seemed to have deep meaning and said, "What do you think of these artillery pieces, General Su?"

Su Dingfang didn't seem to realize that these words were said by Liu Bai.

Subconsciously said: "Good thing! Good thing! If it is used in the battle of defending the city, it is definitely a supreme weapon, even in the fertile field."

As he spoke, he was taken aback.

His face became a little unnatural.

Among the veterans and generals who came to the Western Regions, he was the only one who hadn't dealt with Liu Bai much.

Others can laugh and laugh with Liu Bai, but he can't.

He not only inherited Li Jing's art of war, but also inherited Li Jing's overly cautious character.

Seeing that he did not continue, Liu Bai smiled slightly.

"Good things need someone to use them. There are many achievements in the academy, but there are not many that can be put to use. If you want to make the best use of everything, you need people in the military to develop it yourself."

Su Dingfang didn't know what Liu Bai meant, so he smiled awkwardly and didn't reply.

Zhang Gongjin on the side had recovered from the shock.

He frowned and said: "The artillery is indeed powerful, but it seems that the lethality is not high. One shell can only kill a dozen Uighur cavalrymen."

The other old men nodded one after another.

Qu Tutong stroked his beard, and said: "However, when attacking the city, it can't be better to use it to open the city gate."

Duan Zhixuan said: "When defending the city, it is not useless. Although few people were killed, the enemy's army is already in chaos. At this time, only a few thousand cavalry are needed to completely defeat the enemy!"

Cheng Yaojin heard the words and said: "Then send people out of the city to seize the heads!"

He hadn't had time to speak to the orderly.

Liu Bai suddenly said: "Wait a minute!"

Cheng Yaojin looked at Liu Bai suspiciously.

"The goal has been achieved, and it would be a waste to continue to use artillery. The enemy has been scared out of their courage. If we rush out now, we won't be able to kill many people."

Liu Bai looked at the young lieutenant beside Cheng Yaojin, and said, "Liu Rengui, change the shotgun!"

"Yes, sir!"

Chapter 973 This is the best news I have heard since I came to the Western Regions

This young man who had been admitted to the History Academy by mistake was still a year away from graduating.

For him, the academy issued a series of transfer policies.

Liu Bai secretly gave these historical figures a green light.

It is an intolerable waste for a famous general to study history.

Today's Liu Rengui has studied in the military academy for two years and has already shown his military talent. It is the first time for him to enter the martial arts research room as a student and study weapons with a group of masters.

It is even expected that after graduation, he will become a teacher directly and create a new college.

Wuyan Academy!

The person who knows artillery best is neither Liu Bai nor Jin Dajian, but this young man who is only 25 years old!

Cheng Yaojin and others are looking forward to it.

Generally speaking, Liu Bai would not give orders directly to those in the army.

He is a person who knows how to recognize his own identity.

It's not appropriate to put Yue Zu on Liu Bai's body.

But this time, Liu Bai gave Liu Rengui an order directly, explaining that the "shotgun" he said brought a great surprise to the old men.

Liu Rengui ordered people to reinforce the fort.

In order to facilitate transportation, each artillery has a custom-made iron and wood frame.

It sounds like iron core bullets weigh more than shotgun bullets.

This is not the case.

As the person who knows artillery best, Liu Rengui knows very well that the recoil of shotgun bullets is far greater than that of iron-core bullets.

Cheng Yaojin took out a shotgun from the shell box.

I put it in my hand and weighed it, but I didn't notice any difference.

"This thing is more powerful than iron-core bombs?"

These words were addressed to Liu Rengui.

Liu Rengui didn't say a word.

The internal regulations of the Artillery Battalion are more stringent than the "five killings and twelve beheadings" of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.

If you say one more word, it may be a capital offense!

Cheng Yaojin made fun of himself, smiled smugly, and knew that he had asked something he shouldn't have asked.

If he wasn't the coach at the moment, he might not even be qualified to touch ammunition.

"Change the shotgun!"

Liu Rengui let out a loud shout.

The artillerymen who had reinforced the gun mounts retreated together, and the people who were responsible for filling the ammunition stepped forward to replace the gunpowder and fill the shotgun.

Under the city, the Uighur army seems to have restored order.

These nomads seem to be born without much fear.

Even if you meet the "armed by God", you dare to face tough.

Through the binoculars, it was impossible to see the slightest trace of fear on their faces.

The corner of Liu Bai's mouth curled into a faint smile.

In his heart, there was a bit of anticipation.

This feeling has not appeared for a long time.

Perhaps, after these twenty shotguns fell on the enemy's cavalry phalanx, the situation in the Western Regions would undergo earth-shaking changes.

The mud city is located at the foot of the Flame Mountain, which is more than a hundred miles away.

Intense negotiations have lasted for three full days.

Both Li Er and Yousuf were exhausted to the extreme.

As the leaders of the two most powerful empires in the world, they know how important this negotiation is.

Western Regions!

This piece of land once belonged to the Central Plains for a short time.

But most of the time, it's messy.

Also, extremely alluring.

Anyone with a little military ability can see that the Western Regions are a natural barrier to protect their country.

The wilderness is thousands of miles, the desert is endless, it is the strongest city wall!

To put it simply, whoever controls the Western Regions has built the city wall.

And the other party will become the siege.

If you want to take this city, you don't know how much you have to pay!

No one dares to be sloppy when it comes to the safety of future generations.

The faces of Li Er and Tang Jian were a little ugly.

They are all big countries, and there is almost no distinction between strong and weak.

In this case, negotiating skills are more important than strength.

Obviously, Yusuf and his entourage had the absolute upper hand.

On the map, the yellow color that represents the Tang Dynasty is fixed on the territory bounded by Muni City, and no advances are allowed.

On the other hand, Yusuf always had a faint smile on his face.

The current situation is almost exactly the same as he imagined!

"Your Majesty the Emperor, you and I share the Western Regions, with the Muni City as the boundary, dividing the territory and governing is the highest sincerity of our Dashi Kingdom. After three days of entanglement, have we not returned to the original point?"

Li Er's face became more and more ugly.

Tang Jian at the side unconsciously twitched his eyes a few times.

If the territory of the Tang Dynasty could not be advanced, then he, the official minister of Honglu Temple, would not only have no credit.

I'm afraid I will be questioned after I go back!

Li Er took a deep breath and said, "I want to rest for a while."

Said: "As Your Majesty said."

He waved his hand at the people beside him.

Soon, the food was served.

Li Er was obviously not in the mood to eat much.

He took Tang Jian and walked outside the tent.

"Tang Aiqing, is there another way?"

Tang Jian lowered his head.

"Your Majesty, what the big cannibal said is right. Muni City is already the farthest boundary for them. Even if the Tang Dynasty has occupied Dashigan City, it will be easy for the big cannibal to seize this territory."

Li Er closed his eyes, countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

He was looking for a way to defend the Western Regions.

Fighting a war is nothing more than paying attention to the right time, place and people.

After thinking about it for a long time, Li Er found out sadly that Datang didn't even occupy any of them.

Big eater

It is a country whose strength is not weaker than Datang.
