My Favorite Manly Husband

The army went out to meet the enemy, and the remaining soldiers were not idle.To be prepared, Tai Qigang immediately ordered people to set up traps outside Guyang Pass, dig trenches, set up horse-repelling posts, spread barbed wire, and so on.Shen Yanbei wasn't idle either. Although he didn't know how to fight serious battles, it was still possible to get some gadgets to make trouble for the barbarian cavalry.

No one has invented explosives or medicine these days, but firecrackers do exist. When he went to Suiyang City to buy them with the adjutant in charge of purchasing in the army that day, he walked around the city and found that there were many workshops for making firecrackers in the city.It turns out that there are saltpeter mines and sulfur mines nearby. Artisans who make firecrackers collect the ores and process them into firecrackers.Firecrackers in many counties and prefectures in Daqi are produced here, and traders often come to buy them in large quantities, and then transport them to other counties to earn the difference.Therefore, the price of firecrackers is relatively expensive, and ordinary people are not willing to buy them.

But firecrackers are not worth a lot in the place of origin. Shen Yanbei didn't buy firecrackers, but hired someone to make firecrackers directly according to the size he gave.

Shen Yanbei has never made □□, only know that □□ is mixed with potassium nitrate sulfur charcoal powder in proportion, but he has no time to study, and this thing is too dangerous, if it is not handled correctly, it will explode.For the sake of safety, he just asked the craftsmen to increase the dose of gunpowder on the basis of making the most powerful firecrackers, and added some other things to it by the way.

With the war on the border, it is estimated that traders will not come north this year to buy firecrackers. At first, the craftsmen who made firecrackers were worried that they would not be able to make a lot of money for the New Year this year, but the appearance of Shen Yanbei made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

Considering that the big war was just around the corner, Shen Yanbei waved his hand and hired all the craftsmen to make firecrackers for him. In just a few days, he produced a large number of enlarged firecrackers.

Looking at these added firecrackers, the corners of Shen Yanbei's mouth curled up slightly.If the barbarian cavalry dared to come, he let them have a taste of this unique taste.

It was night, as usual, there were soldiers patrolling outside the barracks, and the wilderness opposite was quiet, except for the sound of the cold wind whistling.

In the commander's tent, the rest of the generals gathered together. The military master waved his feather fan and said slowly: "The army has only set out for a day, and it can't go far. If there is still time to return to the camp at this moment, the barbarian cavalry will not come back tonight." .”

Some generals were puzzled: "Where do the barbarians have so many troops?"

"The current king of Ulatuo, Uso, is a very ambitious and crazy man. The other party may deploy the whole army to put all their eggs in one basket, or our scouts may see false appearances." . " If the enemy army is really trying to divert the tiger away from the mountain and attack the west, then they will use their tricks and let the barbarians come and go!

The generals below still don't believe it, their scouts are all experienced people, it's impossible to be wrong!But the military order was like a mountain, and everyone still followed Tai Qigang's order and continued to send soldiers to set traps ahead in turn.

The night passed peacefully, and when Shen Yanbei woke up in the morning, he found that it was no longer snowing outside, but the temperature dropped sharply, and the cold wind was like a knife, so cold that he couldn't help shrinking his neck.

The remaining soldiers of the barracks are gathering in the school grounds for drills, the soldiers of the new barracks are practicing the use of pistols, and the veterans of the left army are practicing the combination of spears.These spears are a bit longer than ordinary spears, and they were improved according to Shen Yanbei's suggestion.A thousand-man spear squad was densely packed. The soldiers held the middle and lower parts of the spears, with the sharp spears pointing up and the tails facing down, leaning against the ground to offset the terrifying impact of the cavalry.Walking like a hedgehog full of sharp thorns, as long as the cavalry dares to charge, it can directly stab the opponent's heart.

Thinking about that scene, Shen Yanbei was sweating for the other party.The spearmen can restrain the cavalry, but it is a pity that his wife is leading new recruits, and the cooperation of the recruits is not as good as that of the veterans, and even the formation of a team is not as effective as the veterans.

Thinking of this, Shen Yanbei looked up at the gloomy sky, feeling a little worried.

How is his daughter-in-law doing? Is everything going well?

Suddenly someone patted his shoulder lightly, Shen Yanbei turned around and smiled: "General."

Tai Qi, who was in armor and looked ready to attack at any time, just stood beside him, and said in a deep voice: "Thanks to Mr. Shen for his advice, if this battle can be won, this general will report your achievements to the emperor. You ask for a reward."

Shen Yanbei hurriedly said: "The general speaks too seriously, I don't have much credit for it, and the trivial skills are not worth mentioning."

"Master Shen doesn't care for fame and wealth, he is a gentleman. However, Master Shen's contribution can be passed on for generations to come, and he should be a role model to show the world, and the emperor will definitely reward him." Tai Qigang changed the subject, "If Master Shen is willing to give up these vain names, Why not use this in exchange for a marriage decree?"

Shen Yanbei was taken aback, Tai Qi just stared at him with a serious expression on his weathered face: "What do Master Shen think?"

Shen Yanbei knew that Tai Qigang was Gu Changfeng's father's confidant general, but he didn't expect Tai Qigang to be so concerned about Gu Changfeng's life events that he would actually test him at this time.

but……

Tai Zigang's proposal is very good!Anyway, now the entire military camp knows that he has a crush on Gu Changfeng, and for Gu Changfeng he did not hesitate to give up the prosperity and comfort of Yongjing City and ran to this bitter cold border. It's a matter of course.

"Thank you, General, for your reminder!" Shen Yanbei said with a smile.

Seeing that his face was full of joy without any reluctance, Tai Qi just let go of his worries and continued to ask: "The son will definitely inherit the position of Lord Zhen in the future, what is Mr. Shen's plan?"

Tai Qi was just considered a serious elder, Shen Yanbei didn't dare to talk nonsense, and said seriously: "If he wants to continue living in Zhen Guo Gong's mansion, he will live in Zhen Guo Gong's mansion, if he doesn't want to, he can move out." Where does his wife live? Well, anyway, he is thick-skinned enough, and he doesn't care if others say he eats soft food.

Tai Qigang asked again: "My son has a dark mole on the center of his brow, and he may have difficulties in the process of giving birth..."

Shen Yanbei replied without thinking: "If you can give birth, you can give birth. If you can't give birth, it depends on the situation. If he likes it, he can adopt one. If he doesn't like it, let his apprentice take care of us for the elderly." Before passing through, as With a twist, he didn't even dare to expect to find someone who suits his heart, let alone have his own child.Now that he has a daughter-in-law, as for the children, it's up to God to favor him, and he doesn't force it.After all, he has always regarded Gu Changfeng as a man.

Tai Qigang was very satisfied with his answer, so he calmed down and said, "It will take two days to go to Pingcheng, and the prince will arrive in Pingcheng in the evening. If the prince finds something wrong, he will return to help immediately. If we can't take down the barbarians who attacked People, as long as they survive these two days."

"So Master Shen don't need to worry."

this……?Shen Yanbei rubbed his nose and said with a smile without further explanation: "What the general said is very true."

After Tai Qi had just left, Shen Yanbei turned around and went to the blacksmith to get back the pocket arrowhead that the blacksmith made according to the size he gave him.He made an upgraded version of the pocket gun, which is half the size of the crossbow and is easy to carry, which is more suitable for ordinary people like him with little strength.

Tried it on a shooting range, and it worked fine.Shen Yanbei was eager to try it, but he didn't find anything unusual until the dusk.

No one dared to relax, all the soldiers lay down wearing armor.

It was cold and windy in the middle of the night, and some black spots quietly appeared on the other side of the wasteland. As time went by, these black spots became more and more, and they surged like a tide, like a huge net. Pounce towards Guyang Pass...

"Report! Barbarian cavalry were found fifty miles east of Guyang Pass, and the number of them is about tens of thousands!" The scouts who reported back were also terrified.Such a huge army of the other party came over, but the sound they made was extremely small, if they hadn't been staring closely, they wouldn't have been able to find it!

Who would have thought that these barbarian cavalry would be so clever that they would wrap their horses' hooves in cloth!

The general who didn't believe that the barbarians would attack at night before widened his eyes, but Tai Qi just looked at each other with the same look in his eyes.

These barbarians, who are used to making troubles in the middle of the night, finally chose to attack at this time. Fortunately, they did not change their will. Otherwise, if they attacked in broad daylight, the power of many traps they had set up would be greatly reduced.

"Report! About [-] barbarian cavalry were found fifty miles north of Guyang Pass!"

"Report! About [-] barbarian cavalry were found sixty miles south of Guyang Pass!"

One after another, scouts flying horses reported back, and fifty thousand barbarian cavalry rushed in!

The sound of the drum beating was booming, and the soldiers who had been prepared for a long time quickly assembled in the school field.

"All officers and soldiers listen to the order!" Tai Qi just stood on the high platform, looking at the neatly lined soldiers below with a stern expression, the scar on his forehead trembled, "Follow me to fight the enemy army, kill the barbarians, and leave no armor behind!"

"Slay the barbarians, leaving no armor behind!"

"Slay the barbarians, leave no armor behind!!"

When the mountain shouted, all the soldiers moved, and Tai Qigang took the lead to attack.

"Ah——" Suddenly there was a scream, and a barbarian cavalry sprinting on a horse fell down with his horse.Immediately afterwards, similar situations happened one after another, and countless barbarian cavalry rushed into the ground like onions.The cavalry behind did not have time to brake their horses, so they also fell down.

A deep ditch appeared in front of it. Under the ditch were sharp bamboo thorns, and the barbarian cavalry who fell down were tied into strings.

A sudden accident disrupted the pace of the attack, and only one trench cost the lives of many cavalrymen.But there was more than one trench, there were trenches all over the Guyang Pass. They marched rapidly in the dark, and fell into a trap if they didn't pay attention, and lost thousands of troops.

Sambuganda's face changed suddenly when he got the news, and he immediately reported it to Uso.

The man's eyes were extremely gloomy.Why is there a trap?Was it the previous preparations by the Daqi people, or did they see through his scheme?

No, it is impossible to see through his strategy, Daqi indeed dispatched most of his troops, and now there are less than [-] troops left in the pass!

Don't miss this opportunity!The man flicked his whip and shouted angrily: "Continue to attack!"

"Yes!" Sambuganda took the order and left.

But the cavalry continued to advance, and the more traps they encountered on the road.Hearing that the cavalry had suffered more and more casualties from the subordinates, Sambuganda broke into a cold sweat.

"Khan, the people of Daqi must have known our strategy to set up so many traps on the road! The subordinates think that the attack should be stopped immediately!"

The man lashed out with a whip, startling the admonishing general.

"You really doubt Ben Khan's leadership?" The man's face was livid, and his long and narrow gray eyes looked at the general coldly.

"The subordinate dare not, it's just..." The general swallowed at his devouring gaze, and stopped quickly.

"The iron cavalry blessed by Usange God are invincible, and the mere trenches scare your guts?" The man sneered, and wrapped his leather whip in his hand, "If you are a man, go with Ben Khan to kill the incompetent and stupid Daqi People are trampled under their feet!"

"Don't sweat!" Sambuganda jumped up to stop the man from marching.It was hard for the grasslands to join together. If something happened to the man, this temporary alliance would definitely split.

"Go away!" The man kicked Sambuganda away and walked out of the king's tent.

The strong wind was whistling, the military flags were fluttering, and the dense battle drums were beating, which made people's eardrums hurt.The heads of the horses were moving in front of him, and even the night seemed to be overturned by this galloping horse.

Surrounded by his personal guards, the man rode his horse to kill the enemy.He thought it was a perfect strategy, but the wailing of the soldiers in front of him made his eyes red.

what happened?

"Report! The people of Daqi didn't know what kind of poison they used, which made our soldiers and horses go crazy!"

Just now, something exploded in the darkness, only to hear loud explosions, followed by flames flickering, and then the nearby cavalry coughed heart-piercingly, and the horses neighed crazily. Overthrow the cavalry.Many of the cavalry who fell to the ground were killed by their horses, and the mad horses rampaged, causing other nearby cavalry to suffer continuously.The scene was extremely out of control, and the Daqi troops were still facing each other, and they themselves killed each other.

If it was daytime, the barbarian cavalry would definitely find that after the explosion sounded, countless red dust was blasted into the air, and the mixed dust enveloped the barbarian cavalry like a fog.

"Khan! The despicable Daqi people must have set up a mountain of knives and a sea of ​​fire to wait for us to jump down. This trip is too dangerous. You should go back to the camp first!" Sangbu Ganda persuaded earnestly.

The man gritted his teeth, the resentment in his eyes was about to overflow his eyes.

"Ah—" a guard beside him suddenly screamed, and in the faintly bright sky, he could see a short arrow without tail feathers stuck in his chest.

Sambuganda turned pale with shock: "This is a new weapon invented by the people of Daqi! It is very lethal!" Just as he was speaking, the guard planted another arrow and rolled off the horse clutching his chest.

"Kill!!!" The shouts were so overwhelming that they soared into the sky.Under the leadership of Tai Qigang and other generals, the Daqi soldiers who covered their mouths with wet cloths were like a sharp arrow piercing into the heart of the barbarian cavalry.

The spearmen advanced in front, the spearmen shot and killed the enemy from behind, and the rest of the troops beheaded on both sides.Daqi infantry, who had always heard the barbarian cavalry change color, now changed their mentality, bravely and fearlessly killed many barbarian cavalry in the chaos.

More and more barbarian cavalry fell, and Sambuganda was frightened: "Khan!"

"Ah—" The man was about to burst into tears, his red eyes fixed on Da Qi's spearman who dismounted his own cavalry who was rushing over, and roared unwillingly: "Retreat!"
