Monument Yangmen

Chapter 937 That Inconspicuous White Light

"puff!"

Cao Bin drew out his sword, and a stream of hot blood gushed from the eunuch's chest, splashing all over his cheeks. He could feel it completely, and while wiping the sword with a silk cloth on the soft couch, he ordered calmly.

"Throw it out and feed it to the dogs..."

His voice was low and hoarse, but it resounded through the entire Chinese military tent.

Just after his words fell to the ground, two pale-faced people walked out from behind the soft couch, dragged the eunuch's body, and disappeared into the large tent of the Chinese army.

Cao Bin stared at the curtain of the large tent of the Chinese army, and muttered to himself, "If you don't want the throne, who can I pass it on to? And who can guard the country of my Cao family."

"If you don't want to do it, then I will do it for you..."

"..."

The night was quiet.

Cao Bin's murmurs to himself were completely swallowed up by the night.

The next day.

The sky is bright.

Cao Bin gave Cao Wei the Emperor Sword, and ordered him to command 40 reinforcements and go north to Hanzhong to deal with Di Qing.

After Cao Wei led the soldiers and horses away, Cao Bin gave the order to fight across the river.

Nearly 10 people took a boat and killed the Yan army camp on the other side of the river.

The boats on the river are connected together, like floating wood pushed on the tide.

Mu Guiying was wearing armor, holding the golden arrow command flag in his hand, commanding the soldiers and horses under his command to resist the attack of the Shu army.

Cannon fire and gunfire erupted one after another.

The fighting continued from morning until evening.

The Shu army crossing the river frequently provided reinforcements.

The number of people is increasing exponentially.

Gunpowder smoke permeated the river surface, mixed with water columns blasted by the shells, infecting the torrential river and turning it gray.

Former military account.

While drawing the route of the Shu army on the map, Mu Guiying asked, "How about the battle damage?"

Yang Zongwei was holding a book on the side, and said in a deep voice: "It has reached 3 people."

Mu Guiying was taken aback, put down the pen in his hand, raised his head, frowned and said: "Our firearms are far better than those of the Shu army, and the battle damage has reached such a high level?"

Yang Zongwei put down the book in his hand, and said with a wry smile: "Most of the Shu troops who appeared on the battlefield used second-generation and first-generation firearms. In terms of sophisticated armaments, they are far worse than ours by more than a star and a half.

But they are not afraid of death!They were not only equipped with firearms, but also equipped with a lot of swords, guns, swords and halberds.As long as they are allowed to wait for the opportunity, they will rush forward without hesitation. "

Mu Guiying sat down and remained silent, not knowing what she was thinking.

Yang Zongwei looked at her and continued: "I have been with my father for a long time, and I have also heard my father talk about a lot of firearms. My father said that whether it is a generation of firearms or the firearms equipped by our army now, although there is a big difference Big, but the increase in combat power is not too great.

Yan Guo's research on firearms is already at a bottleneck.

After passing through this bottleneck, the firearms of Yan State will become thermal weapons, and the lethality of firearms will increase exponentially.

Before passing through this bottleneck, the power of the musket is still very limited.

Even if the enemy uses a first-generation firearm, as long as they are willing to spend their money, they can still pose a considerable threat to us.

My grandfather obviously saw this, so he forced those Shu soldiers to fight with their lives. "

Mu Guiying bowed her head and shook her head, "But if this goes on like this, the loss will be too great."

Yang Zongwei said helplessly: "There is no other way. Although the soldiers and horses crossing the river are in the Shu army, I have seen them all. They are not descendants of the Han family at all, but the slave army sent over from the Peacock Dynasty.

My grandfather didn't care if they lived or died.

If they want to survive in the hands of my grandfather, they can only fight desperately to get rid of their status as slaves.

And this kind of slave army has reached a million under my grandfather's command.

This is why my grandfather was able to piece together an army of 300 million. "

Mu Guiying looked sideways and asked in a deep voice, "Are there slaves in our army?"

Yang Zongwei shook his head and said with a smile: "Slaves have always existed in Yan, but they have always been in places we can't see. For example, the coolie camps that build cement roads, or the labor camps that develop the northeast.

But not in the military.

Father Huang said that the firearms of Yan Kingdom had reached a top position, only one step away from hot weapons, and they could not be allowed to be held in the hands of barbarians no matter what.

My Han family is not the only smart person in the world.

There are wise men among savages.

If Yan State's gun-building technology is lost, and people develop hot weapons based on it, it will be my Yan State who will suffer in the end.

Therefore, in the Yan State Army, slaves were never used. "

Mu Guiying patted the table, and said in a deep voice: "Your grandfather intends to use this 100 million slave army to consume our strength, and when we are exhausted, lead the army to defeat us in one fell swoop?"

Yang Zongwei nodded, "Probably so..."

Mu Guiying sat at the table, pondered for a moment, and said solemnly: "Since this is the case, then we can't spend it with him. He doesn't care about the life and death of those slave soldiers, but we care about the life and death of our soldiers.

You go to send an order to transfer the artillery army to the riverside, and use the artillery to suppress the speed of the enemy crossing the river.

Then dispatch the two armies, stationed on the riverside, and snipe with muskets.

Give up the encounter for the time being, to defend the merits. "

Yang Zongwei was taken aback for a moment, then said in astonishment, "Shall I pass the order?"

Mu Guiying glanced at him, "In the handsome tent, I am the most respected, don't you want to obey my orders?"

Yang Zongwei cupped his hands with a wry smile, "I dare not, I will do it now."

As Yang Zongwei's order was conveyed to the army, the soldiers and horses guarding the riverside to fight the Shu army were withdrawn for correction.

Artillery took over their main field.

As an assistant, another army began to attack by the river.

The change of tactics increased the ammunition consumption of the Yan army, but reduced the death rate of the Yan army.

The Shu army on the opposite side also discovered this, but their combat deployment did not stop.

The slave soldiers were still holding muskets, knives, guns, swords and halberds. They were driven onto the boat and rushed to the opposite bank of the river.

In the big tent of the Chinese army.

Yang Qi is playing chess with Chen Lin.

The black and white twins on the chessboard are extremely vivid.

Yang Qi picked up a white jade chess piece and landed on the chessboard. A dying dragon, as if its eyes had been dotted, revived instantly and slaughtered the two tigers on Chen Lin's chessboard.

Chen Lin threw down the chess pieces, and said with a wry smile, "Your Majesty's uprising is profound, and your slaves are indeed no match for His Majesty."

Yang Qi messed up the chessboard casually, picked up the teapot on the table, took a sip, and said calmly: "The art of chess is profound and profound, and I'm just a layman."

The smile on Chen Lin's face was even more bitter, "If you are a layman, then the servant may not even be able to touch the door."

Yang Qi glanced at him, "Don't talk about flattery. The guns outside have been fighting for a day, how is the battle going?"

Chen Lin said: "Cao Bin did not send the elite Shu army to cross the river. Instead, he let the slave army dispatched from the Maurya Dynasty desperately cross the river. Marshal Mu dispatched artillery to help the battlefield. The artillery was the main weapon, and the musket was the secondary. with them."

Yang Qi put down the teapot, lay on the reclining chair, nodded slowly, "Mu Guiying's way of dealing with it is good, although it will waste a lot of shells, it will reduce the casualties in the army.

People in my country of Yan are far more valuable than guns. "

After a pause, Yang Qi continued leisurely: "My old father-in-law, letting the slave army come to die should be a cover-up."

Chen Lin was taken aback, and asked, "Cao Bin has other plans?"

Yang Qi smiled and said: "It's natural, so many heads have been sent away, if you don't plan something, it will be a loss. He is not Zhao Kuo who talks about war on paper, nor is he Zhao Guangyi who doesn't understand military affairs. He is a famous general in hundreds of battles. How could it be possible to send people to death without planning anything."

Chen Lin nodded, and asked again: "Then what does Your Majesty think Cao Bin will plan?"

Yang Qi thought for a while, then said: "Water and fire are ruthless. Since the army is fighting by the water and does not move its hands and feet on the water, it will waste this piece of water."

"You mean Cao Bin can attack with water?"

"Nine times out of ten..."

"Do you want this servant to remind Marshal Mu?"

"Not for the time being, you let the people in the Supervision Department pay more attention to the upstream and downstream."

"Here!"

"..."

The spies of the Supervision Department were deployed from the very beginning.

So Chen Lin didn't need to order anything more, he just called people to pay more attention to the upstream and downstream.

……

Shu army camp.

Cao Bin was dressed in a dragon robe, half lying on a reclining chair, and all the confidant generals who had fought with him for many years were kneeling beside him.

"How are you preparing?"

"Still preparing, it will take some time."

Cao Bin glanced at the general who was speaking, and said in a deep voice: "Quick, must be fast. If Yang Yansi notices the signs, then our previous efforts will be wasted."

The bearded general frowned and said, "Your Majesty, why don't we just store water upstream as a dam and use it to attack? Why bother digging a road in the mountains?"

Cao Bin coughed twice, and said quietly: "Yang Yansi's method of flooding the Seventh Army is more pure than ours. Once we have this idea, he will notice it.

In the end, building the dam is just a useless effort, and he will calculate it in reverse if it is not complete.

Since there is such a strange mountain, why not take advantage of it.

Although it is somewhat difficult to take the path in the mountains, it will be miraculously effective if taken unexpectedly. "

The bearded general said with admiration: "Your Majesty is wise..."

Cao Bin shook his head, "We don't have much time left, so tell your subordinates to move faster. Don't be afraid of death, we have plenty of people. Continue to let the slave army attack and block their sight."

"Hey~"

It is more appropriate for Cao Bin and the bearded general to take the path in the mountains in his mouth, and it is more appropriate to take the underwater path.

Upstream from them, there was a waterfall.

The river rushes down thousands of miles, which is very spectacular.

The path in the mountains that Cao Bin mentioned is to carve a road out of the stone mountain under the waterfall.

Then supply the army to pass.

Then unexpectedly appeared on the west side of the Yan army, and cooperated with the main force of Jiangbei to attack from both sides, defeating Yang Qi's soldiers and horses.

I have to admit that Cao Bin's approach is crazy.

But he picked the right place.

With gunpowder in hand, Cao Bin was able to carve out a road in the mountains in a very short time.

With the sound of crashing down from the waterfall as cover, they could dig their way down the mountain with impunity.

In Cao Bin's mind, he had deduced countless times to attack the Yan Kingdom, and the confrontation between the two armies in front of him was also in his deduction.

So he could easily find a way to break the situation from his own mind.

Taking advantage of terrain advantages is a compulsory course for every general.

But it was Yan Jun who took advantage of the terrain to such a crazy situation.

When Yan Jun played against Li Jiqian in Xixia Mansion, he once frantically blasted mountains and diverted water.

When facing the Goryeo soldiers and horses, they also crazily diverted the Yalu River.

Although the early stage paid more, but the harvest is very gratifying.

Cao Bin learned this trick.

……

When night falls.

Chen Lin hurriedly entered Yang Qi's central army tent, bowed solemnly and said, "Your Majesty, the personnel of the Supervision Department have searched carefully along the upstream and downstream, but they have not found any plans by the Shu army."

Yang Qi tapped the short table in front of him with his fingers, and said in doubt: "It shouldn't be! Could it be that I guessed wrong?"

Chen Lin bowed her waist and stood aside without speaking.

Yang Qi got up and paced around the tent.

After a while, he chopped his feet and said: "I know that old father-in-law of mine very well. He will never do useless work on the battlefield. From morning till now, the battle damage of the slave army he sent over has reached [-]%.

It is impossible for him to use so many people to test, let alone let so many people die for no reason.

He must be up to something.

Send an order to let the people from the Supervision Department search for me inch by inch.

Be sure to find clues in the Shu army. "

Chen Lin nodded and exited the tent.

After Chen Lin left, Yang Qi called Peng Pai again.

After Peng Pai entered the Chinese army camp, Yang Qi dismissed the others.

"Peng Pai, I'm afraid that my old father-in-law will make a big move. The people from the Supervision Department haven't found anything, so we need to use your people."

Peng Pai said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty wants to use the frightening bird?"

Yang Qi nodded heavily.

Peng Pai bowed and said: "I understand, I will go down and do it now."

Peng Pai got out of the Chinese army tent and went straight to the artillery camp.

He sent two specially made shells to the artillery camp.

With the continuous flames of war, two special shells were shot into the sky.

The shells burst in the air, not as gorgeous as fireworks.

Only a little white light flashed.

It flashed twice in a row.

In the sky where artillery and guns intersect, it is so inconspicuous.

Just like the person it corresponds to, it is inconspicuous.

Not many people noticed it, and even if they did, few took it to heart.

only.

In the camp of the Shu army.

A general who was patrolling the camp raised his head when the white light flashed by, and lowered his head when the second white light flashed by.

Then, as usual, continue to patrol the barracks.

After inspecting the barracks.

He returned to his own military tent, and as usual, after taking off his armor, he lay down on the bed.

The candles in the military tent have been blown out.

He lay in the warm blanket, staring at the pitch-black tent roof with piercing eyes.

Tears filled his eyes.

It's 20!

He has been homeless for 20 years.

He has been lurking for 20 years.

He has changed from being a teenager to a middle-aged man full of wrinkles.

He has grown from a small servant to the position of a general.
