The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 844

There is no way to go back to Anshicheng, the risk of returning to Anshicheng is too great, the best way now is to go to Qianyu to replenish supplies, besides, Liaodong is now full of wars, go Qian Yu, the wounded soldier recovered from his wounds, and Qian Yu can be regarded as a considerable combat force.

The remaining Goguryeo soldiers rectified silently, and then the army began to drive towards Qianyu.

At the beginning, [-] troops marched out of Anshi city in high spirits, but they did not expect to get to today step by step.

Everyone's mood is low, and they no longer have the time to complain about others. Now, they just want to arrive in Qianyu City safely.

After a long journey, when Xuan Shijing led the three hundred soldiers to Liaodong City, the three hundred soldiers behind them were exhausted.

For the training of these 300 people, Xuan Shijing has never let go. Although the number is small, Xuan Shijing is looking forward to turning them into a sharp-edged soldier, and they are at least at the level of a school lieutenant in an ordinary army. .

After arriving at the Tang Army's camp outside Liaodong City, after Xuan Shijing settled down three hundred soldiers, he went to meet His Majesty Li Er in His Majesty Li Er's tent.

When he came to the camp, Xuan Shijing changed the soft armor and put on the armor of the lieutenant general of the vanguard army. His slightly thin body was put on a set of heavy armor, which made Xuan Shijing really unable to adapt for a while. .

Under the leadership of the lieutenant generals, Xuan Shijing came to His Majesty Li Er's tent.

In the tent, His Majesty Li Er was also wearing golden armor, standing in front of the map, the map was already covered with textures, and the troops everywhere also marked small notes.

Xuan Shijing walked to the center of the big tent, bowed and clasped his fists, and saluted His Majesty Li Er: "Minister Xuan Shijing, see Your Majesty."

Hearing Xuan Shijing's voice, His Majesty Li Er turned around, looked at Xuan Shijing, and raised his hand: "Excuse me."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Jing'er, I've heard about what you did in the vanguard army. It's not bad." His Majesty Li Er praised: "Originally you should have been stationed in Beisha City, but now, I think gunpowder is You kid made it, and you are the one who knows how to use it skillfully, that's why I sent you to Liaodong City."

"What's your majesty's order?"

"Presumably you also know that my goal is Liaodong City." His Majesty Li Er paced: "Now Liaodong City is no different than before. If it is attacked by force, the soldiers will definitely suffer heavy casualties. Although it can be taken down, there are better ways to avoid casualties. , I want to give it a try."

As soon as His Majesty Li Er finished speaking, Xuan Shijing understood.

"Your Majesty wants to use gunpowder." Xuan Shijing said.

"That's right, the power of your gunpowder is astonishing, so, this time to attack Liaodong, the former army dispatched some troops to command you." His Majesty Li Er said: "Whether the army can enter Liaodong City depends on you, kid." It's gone."

Xuan Shijing didn't set up camp immediately, stood on the spot, stroked his chin and thought about it carefully, then said: "It's not impossible, it's just that it's not appropriate to let the minister take charge of a part of the former army, how about it? Your Majesty, I still use the 300 people I brought with you."

"300 people?" Hearing this number, His Majesty Li Er frowned: "How can 300 people accomplish anything? Although I know that your 300-person treasure is an elite soldier, Liaodong City is extraordinary."

"There are not many people, but when there are more people, it is easy to leak. When I was in Beisha City earlier, I had already used a lot of gunpowder. If the scouts on the Goguryeo side could notice, the news of the gunpowder should have spread to those Goguryeo. The general's ear is hit." Xuan Shijing said: "So, the vanguard army that attacked Liaodong City, the minister's 300 men, just happened."

"Do you have this confidence?" His Majesty Li Er asked back.

"I dare not say 100% sure, but I have [-]% to [-]% confidence, but your majesty, you have to give the little minister enough gunpowder." Xuan Shijing said.

There is a saying that it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. If His Majesty Li Er is stingy with the little gunpowder in the army, no matter how clever Xuan Shijing is and how he can come up with some crooked tricks, it will not be easy to use.

"Six hundred catties." His Majesty Li Er said, "If you had handed over the gunpowder to me earlier, I would not have prepared it so hastily." His Majesty Li Er said, in between words, he wanted to tell Xuan Shijing that the army reserves There is not much gunpowder, not to mention a lot of gunpowder distributed to each army.

All of a sudden, I gave Xuan Shijing six hundred catties, which also means that even the army will have to tighten their belts for the use of gunpowder in the future. Before the attack on Anshicheng, the gunpowder in the army can no longer be used. It was easily used. You must know that Anshicheng's defense is much more difficult to break through than Liaodong City's.

Six hundred catties. After Xuan Shijing thought about it, it sounds like a lot. Seeing His Majesty Li Er's attitude, it may not be easy to get something out of his hands.
"Six hundred catties should be enough, Your Majesty, the three hundred soldiers of the minister's government are riding on pack horses, and they are holding long spears and horizontal knives, and they don't even have bows and arrows." Xuan Shijing said.

"I decreed to deploy three hundred war horses for you. As for bows and arrows, boy, you have been in the vanguard army for so long, and you have guarded Beisha City for more than half a month. Don't come to fool me. I don't believe it. You have this Opportunity, wouldn't I give you three hundred treasures to get some good bows and arrows?" His Majesty Li Er snorted coldly.

His Majesty Li Er didn't save Xuan Shijing's face at all, so he went up and exposed Xuan Shijing's intention to blackmail him.

However, what His Majesty Li Er said was right, during the half a month in Beisha City, Xuan Shijing had already changed the shotguns of the three hundred soldiers under his command, except for the horses, of course.

At that time, when the Koguryo army came to attack Beisha City, the [-] troops they sent were all infantry, and in the end, Xuan Shijing didn't even leave a hair on the horse.

His Majesty Li Er stated that he would not retreat, so Xuan Shijing had no choice but to let it go. It was already an unexpected harvest to get three hundred high-quality war horses, and the gunpowder in Xuan Shijing's hand had already been used in the interception on the road. Cleaned up, the newly allocated six hundred catties are just for replenishment.

As for how much gunpowder can be used to blow up the defense of Liaodong City, it needs to be actually explored.

The current Xuan Shijing and his three hundred soldiers are basically poor in terms of supplies, and have nothing but a suit.

Fortunately, 300 people are still within Xuan Shijing's management ability. Even if the luggage is used up on the road, finding a forest to sneak in can still feed the people under him.

The three hundred soldiers in Dongshan County had been specially trained on how to survive in the mountains and forests.
