In this era of feudal cold weapons, even fireworks and firecrackers are special tributes for the royal family's New Year's Day. Fire and medicine are too advanced things. In addition, the properties of fire and medicine are extremely unstable, so they are not suitable for battlefields at all. He exploded in his own camp before injuring the enemy, so Xie Ci never thought of bringing the world into the era of heat, weapons and weapons in advance.

What's more, he is a computer engineer, and his chemistry knowledge was given back to high school teachers 800 years ago, and he doesn't have the hardware and software conditions.

Sure enough, Goldfinger and Jack Su never belonged to him...

What worries Xie Ci the most is not the huge casualties that gunpowder may cause on the battlefield, but that people in this era know nothing about it. The horror of the explosion is enough to destroy the fighting spirit of a determined soldier.

It's not even a level game anymore.

Xie Ci wrote an urgent letter to Chang'an, and the emperor finally became afraid of the giant wolf in the north who was grinding its teeth and sucking blood, and ordered the Ministry of War to start developing fire mines in doubt.The Ministry of War, which has always been at a disadvantage among the six departments, finally felt proud and elated for a while, and got busy according to the remaining eyebrows and beards of the guns and medicines that were rushed to Chang'an. However, the technology was too far behind, and the research progress was difficult and slow.

After the first snow in winter, Aragorn finally tore up the peace treaty, exposed his minions that had been hidden for many years, and launched a war.

The sixteen tribes in northern Xinjiang moved in full force, and the entire northern border was ignited. Not only the Huo family army's garrison, but all the important towns on the border were invaded by barbarians.

The barbarian army was all equipped with powerful fire mines, and the Northwest Army on the western front was defeated and retreated steadily. In less than a month, a large piece of the northwest corner of the northern border was sunken.

Although Xie Ci had prepared for a long time, he explained the power of fire and powder and the scene of explosion to the soldiers before the battle, and used fireworks and crude fire mines for training, but the first battle with the Turkucha Department head-on, the battle situation It was too tragic to bear to recall.

The barbarians, who are not afraid of death, adopted an offensive method similar to suicide attacks. A death squad composed of nearly a hundred people charged forward with explosives and explosives strapped to their bodies, and detonated directly after fighting with the Han army.

Explosions, stumps, earth shaking, the comrades who were charging beside you in the last moment may only have half of their heads left in the blink of an eye, this is a real hell on earth, many soldiers were not even killed by fire and thunder , but when he heard the loud noise that seemed to be roaring from the earth, he panicked and was accidentally injured by his comrades, or when he retreated in a panic, he was cut off by the officers and soldiers who supervised the battle.

The unknown is the scariest thing, even more so to ancient people who were feudal and superstitious.The Huo family's army is the most valiant army in the eyes of the world, but no matter how brave the fighters are, they may be defeated by the fear of heaven and earth, just like bayonets cannot fight long, guns and cannons.

Thank you, I should be thankful that Aragorn has not been against the sky to produce cannons and mines, otherwise there would be no need for suicide attacks. A barbarian can kill dozens of Han people a hundred meters away. There is no need to fight this battle. .

Xie Ci felt that Aragorn was wrong. He was a rookie, a complete rookie. He would take it easy when the task came, and pass the level in the most stupid way.

Resigned, short-sighted.

He felt ironic and ashamed, and he was beaten to pieces, and he could almost imagine what Aragorn would look like with a relaxed look.

Fortunately, he is not an impulsive and stubborn person. After the striker started to collapse, Xie Ci did not insist on attacking. He knew that they had already lost this battle.

Xie Ci yelled at the herald at the top of his voice, "Withdraw——let everyone withdraw—"

After the first battle, nearly half of the [-] elite Huo family troops who fought were killed or injured. Xie resigned and retreated to defend Yucheng, and began a nearly month-long battle to defend the city.

It is easier to defend the city than to attack it. Yucheng is an important border town. It has been an important place for military strategists for thousands of years. The city walls are tall and strong.After some people fled to the south, half of Yucheng was emptied. Thirty thousand Huo family troops stationed troops in the city and stored food. They listened to the rumble of artillery fire from outside the city day and night, and it became a habit after a few days.

Apart from Xie Ci, the person who has the most experience in dealing with artillery fire is Pei Zhao. On the second night of defending the city, he led a small group of light cavalry to attack the barbarian barracks at night. The grain and grass ran away, and took the risk of stealing back a small bag of fire mines at the cost of injuring more than half of the people.

Pei Zhao's left shoulder was slashed, and the wound was so deep that the bones were visible. Pei Xiaogou almost worshiped his entire left arm.

Xie Ci was so angry that stealing fire mines was not included in the original plan, and this guy did something unplanned without authorization, Xie Ci directly locked him in the room to recuperate and reflect.

"Let me out!" Pei Xiaogou struggled to move to the door, scratching the door frantically with his intact right paw, "Why! Uncle!"

Xie Ci calmly slapped the door panel amidst his rueful and angry growl, "I'll let you out when you can answer this question yourself."

Huo Lei helped them alleviate a wave of barbarian attacks. Coupled with the advantages of terrain, arrow arrays, rolling stones, and splashing oil and fire all effectively delayed the progress of the barbarians' siege.

However, what the [-] Huo family army and half of the people in the city were facing was a barbarian army with a considerable number of heat, weapons, and weapons. This team was led by Aragon himself, and it was the most elite army of the [-] northern borders.

And, thank you they have no reinforcements.Other places in the northern border are in dire straits than Yucheng, and the defenders in various places have collapsed thousands of miles away. Let alone the reinforcements, it is fine if the Huo family army is not called to help them.

The reinforcements from Chang'an gave priority to the theaters where the fighting was more urgent, while the defenders in the Central Plains, Jiangnan, and Southwest could not save the nearby fires from far away water. When they arrived, the beacon smoke at the border was cold.

After nearly a month of defending the city, what is more urgent than the massive consumption of supplies is the overall battle situation in the northern border. If Xie Ci refuses to abandon the city and retreat south, Yucheng will become an isolated island surrounded by barbarians in less than a month at most.

"Abandon the city, general, abandon the city and retreat to the south." Days of sleeplessness and worry made Coningyu's face extremely pale and tired, and she lost a lot of weight, almost only a handful of bones remained, looking like a crumbling Only the eyes are as cold as will-o'-the-wisps burning in the dark night. "The barbarians are short of food and supplies, and have always supported war with war. We not only have to abandon the city, but also have to burn down Yucheng."

Ke Ningyu's eyes were sharp, and he said ruthlessly and slowly: "The walls are so strong that the barbarians can't leave a single grain of rice."

The people were the first to evacuate. They cursed and cried for their homes being destroyed and leaving their homes, but in the end they had to wipe away their tears and drag their families on the road to escape.

Xie Ci retreated while fighting, retreating all the way to Yongzhou, and joined the Northwest Army retreating there.They can no longer retreat, after Yongzhou is Chang'an, behind them is the heart of the entire dynasty.

The emperor was completely panicked, but he was full of untimely benevolence. He just put the imperial concubine and the newborn prince into limbo, and sent envoys to question Aragorn.

The poor envoy was beheaded before he even saw the face of the barbarian king. Aragorn replied calmly, saying that you Han people have oppressed the sixteen tribes of northern Xinjiang for hundreds of years, and the people of northern Xinjiang were forced to live in the bitter cold. To survive hard, but also to make offerings to the greedy Han emperor.The barbarians quit, they don't want to be oppressed, what they want is the dog head of the Han dog emperor.

The emperor was so angry that he said your sister is my woman, your nephew is my son, blood is thicker than water, you don't even care about them?

Aragorn sneered, tore the bright yellow handwritten letter to shreds, and said lightly, "If I want to kill you, I will kill you."

In the early court, the emperor knocked out a corner of the Chuanguo Yuxi, and ordered the soldiers in the north to fight to the death on the spot.

The war lasted until the spring of the next year, and Xie Ci held Yongzhou with difficulty.The Ministry of War finally developed a fire mine. Although it was not as powerful as the barbarian's, it was still a great help, especially for the soldiers on the front line who were used to artillery fire and explosions. It was like a shot in the arm.

Xie Ci has become accustomed to the days of waiting for death, falling asleep and waking up in the fireworks, blood and sweat every day.The generals of the Northwest Army were all old subordinates of the British Duke Pei Qingnian, and they were old acquaintances with Huo Changsheng. Although there were occasional frictions, the Northwest Army and the Huo Family Army had gradually merged into one force and became the main force against the barbarian army.

Xie Ci didn't know when the emperor's eldest cousin would react, or had already begun to suspect him, the newly-baked general protecting the country from Dingbei Houjia, but he was forced to hide it because of the situation.

What he is most worried about right now is the stalemate on the front line and the fire in the backyard. He wished he could show his loyalty to the emperor by sending out military reports for three meals a day. Mr. Ke has a gloomy face all day long.

Exhausted from fighting on the battlefield, Pei Zhao, who had to be tortured twice by his uncle and teacher when he came back, was miserable. He really didn't understand how he dissatisfied his uncle recently, and how his uncle made the teacher angry. up.

Facts have proved that Xie Ci's unlucky physique has always been extremely effective.

Time entered the late spring, Xie Ci returned to the camp after a fierce battle, covered in blood and sweat, and before he could take off his helmet, the military commander walked over quickly with a serious face.

Ke Ningyu waved Xie Ci's hand to help him, and said with a stern expression: "General, Chang'an has a gold medal."

Thank you for a moment, the golden sign is the wooden sign hung by the urgent order sent by the post at the fastest speed. The red lacquer and golden characters must not be used unless it is a major event that endangers the survival of the family and the country. None of the gold medals have been moved over there.

what happened?

Xie Ci opened the secret letter and looked at it, it was like falling into an ice cellar, as if a bucket of ice water had been poured on the top of his head in nine cold days, from the top of the sky to the soles of his feet.

The emperor ordered him to return to the dynasty with his class.

Xie Ci didn't know what kind of shit was in that brainless cousin's head. He kept shaking the hand holding the letter, desperately trying to control himself not to tear the paper.

"Return to court? How do you return to court at this juncture?" Xie Ci almost squeezed out this interrogative question from between his teeth.

It was with great difficulty that they gradually began to take the initiative in the battle. Yongzhou regained most of the lost territory, and the battle line began to move north. At this juncture, should he return to the court as a teacher?

Wang Gandao: "Master Huo, this is the Holy Majesty's will."

"How? How long have we been fighting this battle? It was hard to drive the wild dog back. Even if I admit it, how can the soldiers on the front line bear it!"

"Dingbeihou! Are you trying to disrespect the order?"

Xie Ci showed a ferocious smile, and put the hilt of the sword directly on Wang Gan's neck, but his tone was quite gentle: "My lord, I never say it twice."

Then came the second gold medal, the third, the fourth...

The emperor's attitude became more and more impatient, and his words became more and more fierce. When it came to the No. 11 gold medal, he directly questioned with an angry pen:

Huo Changsheng, are you planning to rebel? !

Xie Citong chose to ignore it.

So the No. 12 gold medal appeared with the person he hated the most.

"A total of twelve gold medals," Bai Ji said with a smile, "Master Huo, you are so brave."

"What?" Xie Ci sneered, "Is this the Prime Minister's lord coming in person to give Huo an 'unnecessary'?"

Baiji smiled as if facing a vexatious junior, shook his head and said: "Master Huo, Lord Huo, it's not 'unfounded'."

"The Huo family's army is in touch with foreign enemies. Everyone knows Huo Hou Ye's intention of treason, and the evidence is as solid as a mountain. What do you think, Hou Ye?"

"It's a bunch of nonsense." Xie Ci didn't even bother to say another word.

He ate the sand at the border for so many years, and fought desperately for half a year, so that his big cousin could sit comfortably in Chang'an, eat radish and not worry about it, and caress about his three-acre acre. Divided imperial power.

Bai Ji smiled secretly, and said, "Master Hou, you have appointed barbarians as counselors, and you have secretly communicated with Beijiang. This is the fact that true gold is refined by fire."

The author has something to say:

Xiao Xie: I am not, I have not.

Ah Jiu: I am not, I have not.

Brainless Cousin: I'm not, I don't have one...
