Don't move, this child bride is not easy to mess with.

Master Yu seemed to have expected it, and although he was frightened, he was not confused. Seeing that Shaoma Ying had achieved some success, he ordered Xie Cheng'an to lead the team out of the city so that he could look for fighters on his own and do things expediently.

The cavalry was of little use in the battle to defend the city, so it was better for Xie Chengan to stay in the city and go out for a stroll, as he might surprise others.

After the adults left, Xie, Jiang and Su discussed for a while and decided to break camp and leave the city tomorrow. There is no need to bring any luggage. Su Mulan is here as a "plug-in". This is the biggest advantage of Shaomaying.

Xie Chengan divided the Qianqi into ten hundred-man teams. The 700 cavalrymen assembled together used lances. This thing was three or four meters long and was too bulky. These thousands of them can only be used as light cavalry, and it is inappropriate to use lances.

At Su Mulan's suggestion, they all changed to Thunder Guns and waist knives.

The first time Su Mulan saw this thunder gun, she was quite surprised. This thing has more than five barrels, and the official name in the military is a multi-barreled rotary gun. Those with up to eighteen barrels are individual multi-barreled firearms.

Because it can fire more than five shots in a row, it is commonly known as the Thunder Gun in the military. That's okay, there is also a round shield designed on the gun body. If you run out of ammunition, it can also be used as a shield.

This is an era of alternation between hot and cold weapons. Firearms technology is not advanced enough, and cold weapons are still needed on the battlefield.

In the previous war, the imperial court not only lost hundreds of thousands of troops, but also lost more than 200,000 mules and horses. This resulted in Xie Chengan's thousands of cavalry being almost the only mobile force.

Therefore, Mr. Yu always gave the green light to the equipment needed by the Shao Ma Camp and gave him whatever he asked for. Even after hearing that Shaomaying was interested in firearms, he directly approved the opening of the Arms Bureau warehouse to Xie Chengan.

Su Mulan followed Xie Chengan to the warehouse, which was an eye-opener. Although there are no very advanced firearms, there are many types, at least forty or fifty.

The person in charge here was the eunuch, and after being introduced to him for a long time, Su Mulan always shook his head. He hesitated for a while, then gritted his teeth and introduced a ruthless guy - the Rotten Bone Fire Oil Divine Cannon.

After the eunuch introduced it, Su Mulan broke into a cold sweat and suddenly became very interested in this thing. This is actually a poison version of a grenade. The shell is made of ceramic and contains gunpowder, poison, fire oil, and iron sand.

But because the gunpowder explosion was not lethal enough, poison was added to it. Once the iron sand enters the flesh, it can poison the injured to death.

If each person brought a few of these poisonous fire grenades, they would have to throw them where there were more people, and the effect would not be very good. But the eunuch cried sadly and said that there were only five thousand coins in total.

This thing was originally a divine weapon, but some ministers felt that the thunder would harm Tianhe, and it cost too much money to make, so they only made 15,000 pieces. Ten thousand of them have been used.

Poison, iron sand, refined fire oil, and ceramics are all valuable goods. This poison grenade costs two taels of silver. This thing is a strategic weapon, so of course it must be packed and taken away.

In addition, Su Mulan encouraged Xie Chengan and asked for 3,000 dust cannons and 1,000 cans of fierce fire oil. Su Mulan understood the so-called wind and dust cannon as a poisonous version of the smoke bomb.

It looks like a porcelain bottle, which contains a powdery mixture of human feces, lime, soap locust, etc. Once it explodes, lime will fly into the air and the stench will fill the sky. It is an escape weapon.

There is also a kind of Ten Thousand Fire Flying Sand Cannon, which is actually an enlarged version of the Fengchen Cannon, but it is heavier and difficult to use by a single soldier. This quantity is not much, only five hundred pieces.

Weapons and equipment were selected and sent back to the main camp by soldiers from the sentry camp. Naturally, Sumulan also secretly hid several artifacts and put them in the space for emergencies.

If it weren't for the eunuch who was always following him, Su Mulan would have taken away all the firearms arsenal.

The next day, Xie Chengan led his team out of the city. Because there were too few horses, their first battle plan focused on foreign horses.

There is a shortage of everything in the grassland except horses. What's more, they gathered the more than 200,000 mules and horses that the imperial court had lost before. Not to mention one person with two horses, one person with four horses were rich.

On the other hand, Xie Chengan's thousand horses were shabby. Not only did they have one man and one horse, but more than 300 of them were not war horses.

The bloodlines, feed supply, and training methods of war horses are all systematic and professional. Therefore, compared with ordinary horses, war horses are superior in physical fitness, intelligence, endurance, and explosive power.

When the enemy took Zijingguan, not to mention Mr. Yu who had expected it, even Jiang Ruiyan had analyzed it. Just because although Zijin Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, they are holding the Emperor's army hostage.

Objectively speaking, this so-called first pass in Jinan has too many forks in the path, and one who is not careful can easily be bypassed and attacked. There were only 10,000 troops guarding the gate, and their morale was low.

The fact that Zijingguan can be defended until now is considered to be the defender's best effort.

The enemy army originally numbered only 20,000 people, and their original intention was to put pressure on the imperial court and obtain benefits from the tribute. They didn't expect to be able to defeat the Supreme Emperor's army of hundreds of thousands.

Apart from the surprise, they naturally needed time to mobilize troops from the grassland. Now a hundred thousand troops have been assembled and divided into three groups to plunder. Now that the Bauhinia Pass is broken, the other two roads will take advantage of it to join together.

Xie Chengan then decided to go to Zijingguan.

First of all, there are 50,000 enemy troops on the way to the pass, which is not something they dare to touch with thousands of horses. There are 30,000 riders on the other nearest road, so avoid that too.

But after the 80,000 riders passed the test, the remaining 20,000 riders had an opportunity to ambush and try.

Because of the attack on the 20,000 cavalry, they would have no follow-up reinforcements.

Battlefield fighting often ends in a short time, but pre-war mobilization, material preparation, combat planning, and military intelligence research require longer time and patience.

Shaomaying left the capital and sneaked around Zijingguan for nearly nine days, hiding its tracks. The fighter plane finally arrived.

Because there have been cavalry passing through the border these days, and the front and rear are controlled by the enemy, the door is kept wide open during the day. After investigation, 60,000 troops have passed, and there are only 2,000 defenders in the pass.

The 30,000 cavalry in the direction of Juyongguan were plundering too smoothly, so many of the 1,000-man teams ran too far. In the end, only more than 10,000 cavalry came to Zijingguan.

The last 20,000 riders were farther away, and it would take several days to enter the customs.

Now is the time to snatch the Bauhinia Pass.

The detective horse reported that the last batch of cavalry to pass the border had traveled thirty miles. Xie Chengan immediately made a decision and commanded the sentry camp to rush through the pass!

Su Mulan took Ye Yu and Ye Xue on horseback, followed Xie Chengan, and rushed into the pass. However, Jiang Ruiyan had difficulty moving and remained in the capital camp.

The gate was wide open, and the defenders inside the pass did not expect that enemy troops would appear. Before they could react, Zhao Jingzi was the first to rush in.

The seven centurions were all vying to be first, and they all rushed in with red eyes. This is not because they are not afraid of death, but because Mr. Yu is ruthless and has issued military orders before:

"Anyone who retreats before the battle regardless of the army will be killed immediately!"

"When approaching battle, the army ignores whoever retreats first, and the rear team will kill the front team!"

"Anyone who dares to disobey military orders will be killed without mercy!"
