I was a prince in ancient times

"what happened?"

"The gods have sent down punishment!"

"God won't let people live!"

"Father, mother, I'm afraid!"

Following the rumbling loud noises outside the city, the originally calm city suddenly became panicked.

There were cries, shouts, and panic. People hid in places they thought were the safest places in their homes, and there were even many people who went into the cellar in a hurry.

It's funny and sad.

Not only ordinary people, but even the soldiers in armor are panicking at the moment.

After the cavalry calmed down the frightened horses, they greeted each other, "What's the matter?"

The infantrymen who were waiting in the city to prevent the people from rioting in the city couldn’t laugh or cry when they heard this, “We still want to ask you what’s going on, you ask us, we’ll ask whom.”

Cavalrymen, "..."

The cavalry had no choice but to look at the towering city wall, and said to the soldiers who were fiercely defending the city at the door, "Brothers at the door, what's going on!"

The soldiers guarding the city wall expressed that they were also a little confused.

The rocket shot out from nowhere landed on the enemy army like a thunderbolt and exploded, taking away dozens of enemy lives in an instant, and even those who approached were often injured.

"I don't know, it seems that the gods have manifested themselves and used the power of thunder to help us kill the enemy." The soldiers on the city wall explained to the people under the city wall while beheading the enemy troops that kept coming up.

"what?!"

The soldiers under the city wall look at each other and look at each other.

"It's really such a good thing?" Hearing the rumbling sound from outside, the soldiers said they didn't believe it, but they were secretly happy.

How many brothers and common people have been harmed by the grassland people of this dog. Japan, and now even God can't stand it anymore.

Retribution!

"It's true, if you come up and take a look, you'll know!" The soldier with a big knife on the top chopped down an enemy panting, blood spattered his face, kicked him off the wall, and had to reply to the brother at the bottom, don't mention it How tired.

"Hahahaha, I would like to thank this brother. After the war, brothers will treat you to a drink." The cavalrymen clasped their fists at the soldiers on the city wall, and there was a series of hearty laughter.

The soldiers on the city wall rolled their eyes and ignored them. They had to kill a few more while the enemy was in a daze.

At this time, the grassland people who were full of siege also found out that something was wrong on the battlefield, and when they looked back, their souls were scared by three points.

The sky thunder that came from nowhere was harvesting the lives of their people one by one, and hundreds of people died in the blink of an eye.

Those who are far away are missing arms and legs are not bad, but those who are close have no bones left, and are instantly wiped out.

Fear, fear, and despair spread in the hearts of these grassland people, extinguishing their fierce fighting spirit before the war.

In the face of such a terrible thing, they have no victory at all. They just want to escape, and the farther they can escape, the better.

Seeing that the morale of the people in the Grassland Department plummeted, while Fu Zheng was still in a daze, Huo Sen wiped away the blood that covered his eyes, and shouted at Fu Zheng, "What are you waiting for, Master Hou? This is our fire| Those of the medicine camp, the enemy army has been frightened by the power of gunpowder, their morale has been greatly reduced, and they are ready to retreat, quickly let the cavalry come out to kill the enemy, and don't let them escape back."

Huo Sen's voice was exhausted, not only Fu Zheng heard it, but also the soldiers on standby under the city wall heard it.

All the soldiers were stunned, it turned out that this is gun|powder!

It turns out that what General Huo said about them having divine soldiers to help them is true!

In an instant, the ears of many soldiers turned red.

ashamed.

When they learned that General Huo only brought 3000 people to support them, they more or less teased them behind their backs—they were here to deliver their heads.

Especially when the war was about to start just now, and Huo Sen ran to the prince's mansion, and after he came back, he placed his men in various places with high concealment on the city wall. They even scolded him and his subordinates as people who are greedy for life and afraid of death.

But now, relying on these three thousand "greedy for life and fear of death" people, they forcibly reversed the situation on the battlefield.

Maybe they can avoid defeat today.

They can also win the people of the grassland department in a dignified way.

Fu Zheng was stunned because he didn't understand the situation. Now that he understood, his eyes gradually cleared up, and he ordered loudly,

"Open the city gate - kill the enemy!"

"Oh oh oh!"

The cavalry who attacked were either holding knives or slashes, and they were all very excited. Anyway, they are going to lose their lives in Yicheng today, so they might as well go out and kill two enemies more happily.

Not to mention that now with General Huo's magical battalion, the morale of the enemy has been beaten to the ground, and they are retreating steadily. Isn't it like adding wings to a tiger, like a god's help.

The city gate opened slowly, and many enemy troops guarding under the city gate were squeezed in.

The cavalry guarding the gate of the city killed each other with two or three hits, and rode out to have a look.

Suddenly dumbfounded.

They can only rely on the voices they hear in the city and the words and phrases of the soldiers on the city wall to describe the picture outside the city.

But the pictures they painted were not as shocking as what they saw with their own eyes.

As the gunpowder and arrows fell on the densely packed enemy, the enemy instantly fell down like cutting wheat, and many of them had been blown into pieces by the gunpowder, splashing on the surrounding enemy troops On the body, those people were so frightened that they immediately ran away.

"Hahahahaha." Wang Laosan even saw a person squeezing towards the city wall, and the arm of a person who was blown apart flew into his hand. This person was holding his arms like a goose Same, he was stunned and stopped moving, so happy that Wang Laosan almost fell off his horse.

"Laughing fart, don't hurry up and kill the enemy, one more head and one more military merit, look at the magic barracks of others, one gun|powder goes down and dozens of people in an instant, then you can watch them eat and drink spicy food!"

A cavalry general next to Wang Laosan scolded angrily. Everyone else was watching the jokes of the people in the grassland, but he couldn't be happy.

Their 20-strong army had lost several battles, and before they had lost their prestige, they were robbed of the limelight by General Huo's 3000 men. In the future, what face would these cavalry have in front of others.

Only then did Wang Laosan restrain his smile and become serious. He clamped his horse's belly and rushed out first. The long knife in his hand was played violently by him, and his back tilted. next life.

"Well done Wang Laosan!"

The faces of the cavalry behind him were full of excitement.

Although Wang Laosan was quite unscrupulous on weekdays, he was like a meat grinder on the battlefield, so no one would care about his minor problems.

Just when everyone was excitedly applauding him, Wang Laosan inadvertently glanced at the saddle under him.

In the past, he also killed the enemy like this, but within a few sprints, the horse was bouncing and his back hurt, and he needed to slow down for a while before he could use it again, but today was different, he didn't feel anything at that moment just now.

After Wang Laosan made a way for the cavalry behind in the enemy army, he galloped his horse again without thinking much, and prepared to do it again according to the method of killing the enemy just now.

"Wang Laosan, you don't want to die!" The general who followed him knew of Wang Laosan's situation. It was impossible for him to use the sprinting method continuously, and once he made a mistake, he would never come back.

He wanted to speak out to stop him, but Wang Laosan didn't listen to him at all, and rushed out again with his horse's belly in his arms.

The general raised his heart in his throat, for fear that something might happen to Wang Laosan.

Fortunately, when Wang Laosan got down from the horse and straightened up again, he had already rushed out of the encirclement of the enemy army, leaving behind a horrific enemy corpse.

"You're amazing!" The general was stunned for a moment, and gave a thumbs up to Wang Laosan who turned around to look at him after leaving.

He had never seen Wang Laosan work so hard.

Immediately before he could react, Wang Laosan was preparing for a new round of sprinting.

He raised his eyebrows, and the hairs on his back stood up, thinking, Wang Laosan wouldn't be stimulated by what he just said.

While blaming himself, Wang Laosan easily completed a new round of sprints and was preparing for the fourth round.

The man's heart was already numb, so he jumped on the horse's head and went to kill the enemy in another direction.

Wang Laosan must have found some trick to sprint easily, so he tried it over and over again. After killing the enemy to pieces, he must ask him for advice.

First there was gunpowder to frighten the grassland people, and then there was the heroism of cavalry. The grassland people who had always been difficult for the soldiers of the Yong Dynasty to deal with now became as easy as chopping watermelons.

Morale suddenly increased, and the battle situation soon began to counterattack.

In the past, the prairie people chased them to fight, but now they chased the prairie people to fight.

When had the soldiers of the Yong Dynasty been so elated, fighting tirelessly as if they had taken a stimulant.

Mon Hedo watched helplessly from the back of the battlefield. The warriors who were about to attack the city of Yongchao were beaten to throw away their armor and helmets by the thunder-like thing that Yongchao got from nowhere. up.

His face turned green with anger.

"Impossible, impossible, impossible, how could Yong Chao, a group of bastards who can only hide in the city walls, possess such powerful things."

Monhedo couldn't believe that the brave and invincible grassland warriors would be in such a mess.

"They must have used some kind of witchcraft!" Meng Hedo hissed.

"Third prince, it seems that our warriors can't attack the city of Yong Dynasty, please make a decision early." The grassland staff seemed much calmer than Meng Hedo, but their eyes were still full of fear.

When he was young, he followed his parents to fight in Yongchao, and he had seen the strength of Yongchao people. He never took it lightly, but this time it was indeed beyond his expectation.

He couldn't help trembling just by taking a look at the terrifying thing from a distance, let alone the warriors who were still fighting on the battlefield.

No matter how brave a warrior is, he is still made of flesh and blood. Facing such a terrifying thing, he would die in vain.

He hopes that Monhedo can wake up now, beat the drums and retreat, and then make a long-term plan.

Monjedo had a gloomy and unhappy face. He has won so many battles, so it doesn't make sense that he will lose this time.

He had been observing just now, and everything was fine at first, but it was the terrible thing that suddenly appeared that caught them off guard and made this situation happen.

"No, I made a military statement in front of my father Khan before the expedition. This time I will go south and take down five cities. Now I am only the third. How can I go back and return!"

Meng Hedo thought that there were two older brothers who were eyeing him above him. If he lost today and went back in despair, his two older brothers would definitely not let him go.

It's better to let go of it.

"I don't believe that their witchcraft can always fail!"

Meng Hedo didn't believe that the terrible things used by the Yongchao people were endless, otherwise why they didn't use them in the first place, but waited until they attacked the city before using them.

Just be patient and wait until they are exhausted.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the dense explosion sounds to subside gradually, and in the end there were only three or two, until there was none at all.

"Hahahaha, it's true that God won't help them anymore. We grassland talents are destined to belong to us." Seeing this, Meng Hedo stretched out his slender core like a poisonous snake and licked the corner of his lips, his scarlet eyes burst into tears. An unprecedented elation.

"Pass my order to order the cavalry to level this city!"

Mon Hedo stretched out his hand and pointed to a group of cavalry that he had long disliked.

In the past, they were the only ones who cut down the Yong Dynasty's cavalry as wheat, and no Yong Dynasty cut down their grassland warriors like nothing.

"Isn't it just because of your knowledge of witchcraft that you frightened our warriors, and you really think that you are invincible? Now that you have lost your witchcraft, what do you have to fight against the warriors of my grassland department?"

The ox horn sounded, and the prairie cavalry who had been waiting in the rear of the barracks heard the order, pulled up the reins one after another, and rushed to the battlefield.

The strong and powerful horses, and the brave and invincible warriors who ride on the horses without fear of life and death, all show that they are the pride of the prairie people!

Seeing these invincible cavalry, the grassland people gradually regained their lost fighting spirit.

Listening to the familiar and neat sound of horseshoes, they were so excited that they couldn't help shouting!

"The Grasslands must win, the Grasslands must win, the Grasslands must win!"

Some cowards who were scared by gunpowder and gave up attacking the city don't know where the courage comes from at this moment.

They erected the wooden ladder overturned by the generals of the Yong Dynasty, and continued to climb up the city fearlessly as if nothing had happened, endlessly.

Standing on the city wall, Huo Sen let out a heavy breath when he saw the galloping grassland cavalry, with a little excitement on his meticulous face, "We finally lured them out."

As early as when he saw that gunpowder could lose his horse and was frightened, he put his mind on riding horses from the grassland department.

To deal with the infantry in front of them, everyone is fairly equal, but the real difficulty is the cavalry who have not yet stepped into the battlefield.

The reason why Marquis Weiyuan was defeated again and again was because of the cavalry of the Grassland Department.

As long as he can severely damage the cavalry of the grassland department this time, Yicheng will be saved.

So he didn't put gun|powder into the battlefield at the beginning, but waited until the enemy army was about to attack the city wall, and used a batch first to deter the enemy army and increase the morale of our army at the same time. It would be good if the grassland troops retreated. If the Grassland Department not only does not retreat, but also wants to attack by force, it will definitely send out cavalry.

At this time, he used the last gun to scare the horse, and the indestructible grassland cavalry would naturally collapse at the first touch.

Just when all the grassland cavalry stepped into the range of the gunpowder bow and arrow, Huo Sen raised the flag in his hand.

In an instant, hundreds of arrows tied with gunpowder were shot out in volley, and landed in the cavalry team of the grassland department who were still galloping.

"boom--"

Huo Sen squirmed his lips, enjoying the thrill of the explosion.

As the voice in his lips came out, there were explosions one after another in the cavalry team of the grassland department under the city.

The galloping horse was frightened, and raised its front hooves to the sky in front of it. The horse's neck was thrown back vigorously, and it let out a horse cry that pierced through the sky. The person sitting on the horse's back was almost thrown off by the horse.

That's all pretty good.

Not good, even the man and the horse were blown to pieces, leaving only a piece of bright red blood on the ground.

But it's not over yet.

After a wave of hundreds of gunpowder arrows exploded, another wave followed.

No matter how brave the prairie cavalry was, there was no way to appease the horses under them at this moment. If they stayed any longer and heard the earth-shattering explosion, their horses would be destroyed.

Without horses, the cavalry is not even as good as an ordinary soldier.

Fortunately, on the battlefield, the sound of the ox horn to withdraw the troops sounded in time, and the cavalry of the grassland department did not dare to delay, tightened the reins, turned the horse's head, and rushed back desperately.

Although a few waves of gunpowder did not take away too many grassland cavalry, they disrupted them who were twisted together.

Fu Zheng's battles that he had fought for half his life were not in vain. Seeing this situation, he immediately ordered the cavalry of the Yong Dynasty to pursue the victory.

The head of a steppe cavalryman is worth more than the head of an infantryman.

Wang Laosan and the others had grown impatient with killing the enemy. Hearing Lord Hou's order, they quickly left the battlefield and chased the grassland cavalry in all directions.

The cavalry of the grassland department really lived up to their reputation. Even when the horses were frightened, they still ran not slowly.

At this time, the fight is the endurance of both parties.

After you chased me for a while, the speed of both sides gradually dropped.

The soldiers of the Yong Dynasty stared blankly at the cavalry of the grassland department who tried to catch up but couldn't catch up anyway.

Wang Laosan, who had already beheaded several grassland cavalrymen from another direction, rushed over, quickly chased after him, and ended the grassland cavalry whose physical strength had obviously declined.

"Why are you so fast!" A soldier stared at Wang Laosan in horror and rubbed his eyes, as if to confirm whether Wang Laosan in front of him was really Wang Laosan.

After all, today's Wang Laosan is really unbelievable. He seems to have inexhaustible strength, and his riding skills have also improved a lot, like a prairie cavalry possessed.

Wang Laosan raised his head proudly, patted the saddle on the horse's back, and said with a smile, "Because I have a saddle, I have already said that if I wear it, I won't be tired after riding for days and nights." Yes, who told you not to believe it, just watched me harvest military achievements today, hahahaha..."

Wang Laosan finished singing and went to order a harvest of the heads of the enemy soldiers who were exhausted by the pursuit of the soldiers, and then showed off his saddle to them.

Roll the eyes of others with anger.

There are hundreds of people like Wang Laosan. With their own strength, each of them more or less killed nearly a dozen enemy cavalry and confiscated nearly [-] horses.

This record made all the cavalry red-eyed with jealousy.

Especially Wang Laosan, his accumulated military merits are enough for him to be promoted two or three ranks, plus dozens of taels of silver rewards.

With this money, after retiring from the army and returning home, he can be an idle rich man.

His family can also rise from abject poverty to a well-off family in one fell swoop.

Jealousy drives people crazy.

Soon they were each asking privately about the saddle.

"In the beginning, the prince saw that General Huo was too tired to ride a horse, so he made this thing and gave it to General Huo. Later, General Huo thought the saddle was good and could be used to equip the cavalry, so he gave it to Wang Laosan and the others to try. , After trying it out, the result is good or bad, Wang Laosan and the others would rather buy a saddle out of their own pockets, the prince has no choice but to bite the bullet and set up a saddle workshop in the city."

"Then how much is this saddle?" Some people were somewhat moved when they heard that this saddle was actually available for purchase.

The person who answered touched two fingers, "Two liang."

"Two or two?"

All the questioners frowned. The price was neither high nor low, but they still hesitated to offer it.

"Yes, two liang, but..." The answerer put it off on purpose.

"But what." The question was urgent.

"However, the prince said that His Majesty also knows that it is not easy for us soldiers guarding the Yong Dynasty, so the soldiers only need one tael of silver to buy saddles, and His Majesty will pay for the remaining one tael."

In an instant, the eye sockets of these soldiers were moved red, "Your Majesty manages a lot of things every day, but he still remembers us, knowing that we have no money, and even paying us out of his own pocket, we used to always lose battles for His Majesty, Your Majesty doesn't blame us at all."

At that moment, there were two young soldiers who were so moved that they cried, "We are sorry, Your Majesty."

"I know I'm sorry for Your Majesty, so why don't you hurry up and kill two more enemies to repay Your Majesty, and mourn here." The enemy cavalry was chased by our cavalry, and Fu Zheng went down the city wall, commanding the soldiers while riding a horse. They were cleaning the battlefield, checking for gaps and making up for omissions. They heard a few cries here, so they came over to find out. After listening to their conversation, they couldn't help twitching the corners of their mouths.

After being scolded by Marquis Weiyuan, everyone realized that this was still a battlefield, and there were still many fleeing enemy soldiers around, and they did not dare to delay to chase the enemy.

The infantry of the Grassland Department is not stupid either. Seeing that their all-powerful cavalry did not stand up and were defeated, those who could escape escaped long ago, and those who could not escape, some became captives of the Yong Dynasty, and some became soldiers of the Yong Dynasty The soul under the knife.

The worst thing is Mon Hedo. Originally, his loss would not be so heavy, but because of his insistence, the grassland cavalry lost at least two or three thousand. This is a heavy blow to the small grassland department .

He never imagined that the people of the Yong Dynasty could perform that terrible witchcraft twice, causing their cavalry to be defeated without standing. This was both a blow and an insult to him.

"Notify the spies, I must know what the witchcraft is all about and who developed it. I will swallow this person alive and then soak it in a wine jar to marinate."

Monhedo rode back in humiliation under the escort of the guards, looked back at the prairie warriors who were still being hunted down by Yongchao soldiers, and said coldly and resentfully.

It was all because of this terrible witchcraft that he lost such a big face in his trip to the south. After returning, he would have to face the doubts of his two brothers and his father. If he didn't take revenge in the future Come back, die with regret.

But none of this had anything to do with Xie Anlan. When he heard the cries of victory on the city wall, he, who had been sitting for a long day, could finally relax and go back to his room for a good night's sleep.

As for the bloody battlefield, he didn't go to see it. He was afraid that it would turn off his appetite, and he wouldn't be able to eat for a few days afterwards.

When I woke up, it was already noon the next day. The servants came to report. There were many soldiers outside the door. I don't know what they came for.

Xie Anlan got up immediately and went to greet him outside the door, but the first one he saw from afar was the stern-faced Marquis Weiyuan in ordinary clothes.

There was a long line of soldiers behind him, and you pushed and squeezed to get to the front.

Xie Anlan smiled, her jade-like gold face was filled with confidence, there was a business coming.

Seeing Xie Anlan approaching with a smile on his face, Fu Zheng's chest hurt again. Originally, this should be his son-in-law's now... let's not mention it.

His attitude towards the saddle was dispensable before, but he tried it last night...

...It's quite fragrant.
