He has not lived enough

A piece of gravel flew from nowhere and hit her face, and warm liquid flowed into Subti's eyes;

He instinctively hugged his head to protect himself, trying to avoid getting hurt. Just as he fell to the ground, there was a second loud noise, and this time it was louder than the last time, and it caused more damage.

A piece of gravel flew from nowhere and hit her face, warm liquid flowed into Subti's eyes, he touched it in a daze, it was all blood, because of the loud noise just now, her ears were buzzing and she was dizzy Strings, but at the moment I can't care about much, I wiped my face casually and shouted:

"Don't panic! Stand up—"

The clansmen naturally knew that they had to hurry up and control the horse, but how easy was it?

The frightened horse ran around and ran wild, causing the Xirong people who were lucky enough not to fall off the horse to fall to the ground, including Subti himself.

He instinctively hugged his head to protect himself, trying to avoid getting hurt. Just as he fell to the ground, there was a second loud noise, and this time it was louder than the last time, and it caused more damage.

Subti was almost buried by the mud kicked up by the loud noise, and at the same time, he felt severe pain in his lower limbs. He screamed and looked in panic, his feet had already flown to nowhere, but he didn't even know where the enemy launched the attack. No way of knowing.

"Demon! It must be a demon!"

The clansman's terrified cries were heard beside his ears, mixed with screams, Subti looked around in a daze, and they fell into hell in an instant.

Subti led his clansmen to massacre many towns of Jin people, and fought countless battles with Jin army, even against the most deadly Shen family army, Subti was never as frightened as he is now.

Before even seeing the opponent's face, blood flowed into rivers and corpses littered the field. The fear of unknown things is far more frightening than fighting face to face with real swords and guns.

There was another bang, and Subti didn't even have the strength to dodge. At this moment, he finally saw the figure standing on the city wall clearly.

Is from Jin.They were methodically loading and manipulating something, and it was those unknown objects that brought them to hell.

Subti wanted to shout, to convey this unspeakable fear to the Great Khan, so that he could lead his people to escape as far as possible, but there was no chance.

Seeing countless flames blooming around him, Subti hung his head unwillingly, and did not close his eyes until he died.

He knew that the end of Xirong had arrived.

"How about Lieutenant Shen, do you believe in the power of these firearms now?"

Niu Qianli beamed and pointed at the panicked Xirong people inside the city wall, who had suffered heavy casualties, and said to Shen Dongliang triumphantly, "This thing is better than your bows and arrows, isn't it?"

Looking at the situation below, Shen Dongliang felt a turmoil in his heart, but in half an hour, more than half of the Xirong people in the city had been killed or injured, and suffered heavy losses, and they hadn't even mobilized a single soldier except for using those people brought by Niu Qianli to load and launch gunpowder.

Excitement appeared on his usually honest and dull face, trembling and cautiously touching the barrel of the firearm beside him, which was already hot, but he didn't care at all. ...a fetish!"

But when and who did Dajin create such a thing?

When he questioned Niu Qianli with this doubt, the latter laughed out loud, and replied as a matter of course: "Of course, our Majesty ordered it to be created! Last year, His Majesty ordered the establishment of the academy for this purpose, remember?"

Shen Dongliang was shocked again.

The only time he had close contact with that majesty was last year's winter hunting. If it wasn't for the longbow, with Shen Dongliang's character, he would never show his face in such a crowd.

At that time, most of his attention was focused on those weapons, and his impression of His Majesty was only that he was a young, slender and overly delicate young man, and he shouldn't be someone who can make such... brutal weapons.

But soon, Shen Dongliang recalled the events of more than a year, that is, this seemingly weak majesty used thunderous means to clean up the internal and external courts, and his decision to secretly send troops to fight against Xi Rong was naturally indispensable.

It is logical that such a decisive and strategic person can create these utensils.

Thinking of how many people felt that His Majesty was working hard on a whim when the academy was established last year, and he was one of them, Shen Dongliang was ashamed and only admired, and sincerely praised: "Your Majesty is far-sighted and far-sighted, you are really a wise king through the ages!"

Not to mention other things, just making these firearms is enough to be worthy of the title Mingjun.

"That's natural..." Niu Qianli patted him on the shoulder, "Okay, let's go down and clean up."

He grumbled at the remnants of the Xirong soldiers, rolled up his sleeves and waved his hands to lead a group of people down. Shen Dongliang saw that the people were all staggering, and many of them were alive and dying, so he hurried to follow.

I saw Niu Qianli leading the people there, and those Xirong people who were lucky enough to survive saw that they not only did not resist, but as if they had been amnesty, they climbed up and disarmed in a very cooperative way. , Da Jin will not kill prisoners at will.

Shen Dongliang fought against the Xirong people for more than ten years, and it was the first time he saw them like today, miserable and panicked like bereaved dogs, he couldn't help feeling happy, and started to tie up the captives in high spirits.

This kind of situation was staged one after another in various border towns of the Jin Dynasty. Although not every place went so smoothly, compared with the heavy casualties of the Xirong people, the casualties of the soldiers of the Jin Dynasty were reduced to an extremely low level.

However, within a few days, [-] to [-] Xirong people were killed or captured. One or two people who escaped desperately finally brought the news that Dajin possessed such an unheard-of and terrifying weapon to Da Khan. I thought that these people were frightened by Da Jin and talked nonsense, and chose to continue sending troops there, but those who were not surprised all went and never returned.

Xirong, the young and confident new Khan, finally realized the strangeness belatedly, and he called the two men who escaped back to question carefully, and the more he listened, the more serious his expression became.

It's not that he is brave and foolhardy, he just doesn't believe that there is such a sharp weapon in this world. Although the Xirong is not as rich as the Jin Dynasty, but when it is the most powerful, it can move things freely, kill the enemy and slaughter the city to grab what it sees. , I have seen a lot of good things, and spent a lot of money on military equipment, but I have never heard of such weapons.

The generals he sat down were also divided into two factions, one faction insisted that those deserters were frightened and nonsense, and the other faction was skeptical, after all, only these two of the [-] to [-] soldiers they sent back now, and the rest are like nothing. back.

"Khan, Xirong has dominated the grasslands for hundreds of years, and only others have always been afraid of us, relying on the bravery and bloodiness of the soldiers, we have never been afraid of anything!"

A young Xirong general looked contemptuously at the two wounded soldiers, and said dissatisfied: "In my opinion, this kind of useless bastard should be stabbed to stabilize the morale of the army!"

Shan Shan didn't say yes or no, but turned to ask another thin man next to him: "What do you think of the national teacher?"

This man is the Imperial Teacher of Xirong, and also the counselor who assisted Shudan Shan to win the Khan position. He said cautiously: "This subordinate thinks it is better to return to the royal court first, and wait for someone to infiltrate to find out clearly before making any next steps."

He pondered for a moment: "Just do what the teacher said."

He is not afraid of the Jin people, but being cautious is the consistent style of Tong Tandan, which is a rare trait among the Xirong people, and it is also the reason why he won the throne in the end.

Besides, Shan Dan had a vague feeling that if there really was such a fetish in the world, only Jin people would be able to create it.

Compared with the clansman who only advocates force, he only understands that resourcefulness and skill can cause more damage than brute force.

Those who opposed wanted to argue again, but under his oppressive glance, they all kept silent and bowed their heads in agreement.

Slowly withdrawing his gaze, he said in a single voice: "Reorganize the troops immediately and return to the royal court."

Shen He was not surprised when he received the news that Xirong's main force stationed outside Dajin suddenly withdrew.

Although Tong Dan Shan is the new Great Khan, Shen He has faced him many times in the previous battle against Xi Rong. Unlike his other brothers who only know how to be brutal, Tong Dan Shan is cunning and difficult to deal with.

This time, the vanguard who was able to easily defeat tens of thousands of him relied on his surprise layout in advance, and it was easy to succeed a few times. It would be too unrealistic to wipe out all the Xirong people by this.

Although it is a little regrettable that Shan Shan didn't continue to send troops to run too fast, Shen He is also quite satisfied. Except for a few teams of Xirong people who are more vigilant these days, it took a lot of time to clean them up. At other times, when they go down to sweep the tail, the Xirong people basically lose Without combat effectiveness and fighting spirit, only dozens of soldiers were killed or injured, which was unimaginable in the past.

"Major General, do we want to chase?"

Dalang Qi, who was fighting with Shen He, suppressed his excitement and asked, after fighting with the Xirong people for so long, it was the first time he saw those wolf cubs being beaten with their tails between their legs and howling, unable to fight back. It was too much fun!

But he also understands the reason why the poor should not chase after them. Taizu Taizong also took advantage of the victory to pursue the Xirong people in his early years, but once he came out of the Jin Dynasty, the territory of the Xirong people was the vast grassland and desert, and it was too dangerous to go deep alone.

This is also the reason why Taizong broke out of the siege of the Xirong people after being exhausted for many days in the last battle with Xirong. After that, he did not take the initiative to attack and choose passive defense.

Therefore, although the situation seems to be very good now, Qi Jia Dalang and the others were not dazzled by the victory, and they were still very cautious.

Shen He glanced deeply at the sand table in the center of the military tent, and the place where he could see was where the royal court of Xirong was. Shen He asked with a light smile, "Why didn't you chase after him?"

Holding the long knife at his waist, and stroking the newly made firearm with the other hand, Shen He said decisively: "There is no better time than now, how many soldiers of the Jin Dynasty spilled blood on the border, it's time to avenge them!"

"Pass down the general's order, pursue immediately, and promise not to return if you don't break the king's court!"

The generals in the tent were very excited, they had waited too long for this day.

"The last general obeys orders! I swear that I won't return it if I don't break the king's court!"

It was two days after Zhao Yu, who was far away in the capital, got Shen He to lead his army straight into Xirong. He was happy that the battle was going well and at the same time worried about his safety.

Unlike Dajin, Xirong has towns everywhere. It is either a grassland taller than a person, or a desert full of yellow sand. It is common for hundreds of miles to be deserted.

This is also one of the reasons why it is difficult for the Xirong people to be completely wiped out.They call themselves prairie wolves. In Zhao Yu's view, the Xirong people are more like African hyenas. When there are many people, they will bite and rob in groups. , the surrounding countries are troubled by their intrusion.
