Hu Xiaotian heard that Qiao Fangzheng admired An Zhai so much, and he couldn't help but be interested in this person in his heart.
Although Long Xiyue has become the leader of the beggar gang, the conditions are met on the surface, and the disciples of the beggar gang also agree with this fact, but there are still many people behind the scenes who are not convinced by Long Xiyue, not to mention that there are opposition forces led by Shangguan Tianhuo and his son who are planning subversion.
Qiao Fangzheng was unable to appear in public in the Beggar Gang, and old people like Xue Zhenhai, Zhao Shenxiong, and Mu Shusheng had a respected status in the Beggar Gang, and most of them were old and rarely asked about the specific affairs of the Gang, so the Beggar Gang was eager to develop backbones like Zhu Ba, Meng Guangxiong, and Xie Tianqiong.
Only by quickly eliminating dissidents and developing their own strength can they effectively control the big gang of beggars in their own hands.
It's just that people like An Zhai are generally facing a common problem, they are too young and have no outstanding achievements to prove their ability, even if they are entrusted with important tasks immediately, it is difficult to convince the beggars.
While Hu Xiaotian's side was actively consolidating and dispatching troops, Yunyang's reinforcements were also coming in a steady stream, among which the personal arrival of Hong Beimo of the Tianji Bureau made Su Yuchi very happy.
Hong Beimo's arrival fully demonstrates the importance that the imperial court attaches to Yunyang, but Hong Beimo's trip is extremely low-key, and except for Su Yuchi, he did not reveal any news to others.
Su Yuchi secretly met with one of the most powerful and mysterious ministers of Dakang in his mansion, Hong Beimo was dressed in civilian clothes and looked like an ordinary teacher, if it wasn't for Qiqi's request this time, he would not have come to Yunyang in person.
Su Yuchi clenched his fists and bowed: "The student has seen Mr."
Although Su Yuchi is not Hong Beimo's personal disciple, Hong Beimo once helped him train heavy armored cavalry and instructed him in the battle formation, so the two can be regarded as having a teacher-student friendship.
Hong Beimo smiled and said, "General Su is polite.
This time, I have come to reinforcements on the orders of Her Royal Highness the Princess. ” Su Yuchi said: "With the arrival of Mr.
Hong, Yuchi can finally rest assured." ” Hong Beimo laughed and said: "The old man doesn't know how to march and fight, this aspect is originally your strength, I came this time, and I didn't think about staying for too long, but I just sent you some sharp weapons to defend the city."
His words clearly told Su Yuchi.
He didn't come here to replace him as a leader, and he didn't have the task of overseeing the army, so he would leave soon.
The Tianji Bureau is known for making all kinds of delicate mechanisms, Su Yuchi has seen a lot of powerful weapons before, and he also knows that Hong Beimo has brought some newly made things this time.
Hong Beimo said: "Let's go to the school to have a look." ” There are already two things placed there on the school ground, one thing should be a crossbow arrow, but it is dozens of times larger than an ordinary crossbow arrow, Hong Beimo pointed to the crossbow machine and said: "This is called the sky-shaking crossbow." ” Four of his men opened the crossbow machine and removed the bolts from it.
The crossbow arrow is a thigh-thick iron cylinder, once triggered, this iron cylinder will be shot into the air, flying to the highest point before disintegrating, and the venom hidden in it will come out and radiate downward, but it will affect the range.
Enemies contaminated with venom will inevitably have festering skin.
The pain is unbearable.
After listening to Hong Beimo's explanation, Su Yuchi was secretly surprised in his heart, although he had seen the use of a crossbow machine to meet the enemy in the past, but the crossbow machine shot nothing more than a crossbow arrow, but this crossbow machine shot out venom, once triggered.
Isn't it equivalent to a poisonous rain in the sky, and the lethality can be imagined.
Another weapon that Hong Beimo brought with him was a chariot like a turtle, and from the outside, this chariot was nothing more than made of iron, which was different from the ordinary two-wheeled carriage.
The car has a total of four wheels.
Hong Beimo pointed to this tortoiseshell-like battle lane: "This is called a tortoiseshell chariot, each chariot is equipped with ten warriors, when attacking, you can use the iron-clad war horse to pull and quickly reach the enemy position, the warriors hide in the chariot, and use the heavy armor of the chariot to resist local attacks." ” He waved his hand, and the chariot rattled and ten sharp knives protruded from the holes around it.
At this time, six ironclad war horses dragged another tortoiseshell chariot on foot, and the tortoiseshell chariot that was originally parked there actually moved automatically.
Su Yuchi blinked his eyes and could hardly believe his eyes, this tortoiseshell chariot was not pulled by external force at all, how could it travel automatically Hong Beimo said: "There is a mechanism inside the tortoiseshell chariot, and through human rotation, the chariot can move slowly, that is, even if the war horse is injured by the enemy, the chariot still has the ability to move."
These tortoiseshell chariots can be fought not only individually, but also in combination with each other. ” The two chariots came together and were linked together by a lock in the first place.
Hong Beimo said: "This time I brought you a total of 100 tortoiseshell chariots, 200 sky-shaking crossbows, and 3,000 warriors responsible for operating these killing weapons, I believe that even if Xichuan and Xingzhou join forces, it will not be your opponent, even if you add a Hu Xiaotian, you can't help it." ” Su Yuchi was really pleasantly surprised after learning about the power of these two killing weapons, and Hong Beimo's surprise this time was far more than that, there were also a lot of grains, grasses and other weapons.
Hong Beimo said: "I will let Fu Yuhong stay to help you."
"Fu Yuhong is the commander of the wing group of the Tianji Bureau, and he is also one of Hong Beimo's cronies.
Su Yuchi thanked again and again: "Thank you Mr.
Hong for your kindness, with Mr.
Hong's help, Yuchi is confident to win this battle and hold Yunyang." ” Yuan Qingshan reported the latest collected military information to Su Yuchi, Su Yuchi frowned after hearing this, he walked to the front of the topographic map without saying a word, stood silently for a while, and then said: "Xichuan has gathered 100,000 troops" Yuan Qingshan nodded emphatically and said: "Confirm that it is correct, Li Yan, the main general of Xichuan this time, is Li Tianheng's cousin, the pioneer Yan Hucheng, with a total of 100,000 troops, and has now arrived eighty miles southwest of Yunyang, where he has set up camp. ” Su Yuchi said: "Li Yan doesn't have much ability, although he has won several battles in the past, he has won many battles and has not shown any outstanding features, I have heard of that Yan Hucheng." ” Yuan Qingshan said: "Yanhu Chengnai is the righteous son of Zhang Ziqian in Xichuan, this person grew up with Zhang Ziqian since he was a child, Zhang Ziqian cultivated carefully, and it is said that he has obtained Zhang Ziqian's true inheritance. ” Su Yuchi sighed and said: "Xichuan is the only one who can really afford to be a talent, Zhang Ziqian is now dead, Li Tianheng is equivalent to missing an arm, Li Tianheng really thinks that we are so easy to bully Choose Yunyang as a breakthrough, this time it will inevitably let him have no return."
After a pause, he said, "What news is there from Xingzhou?"
Yuan Qingshan said: "Xingzhou is full of troops, and is also preparing to send troops, and many grain ships have been entering Xingzhou from the Tuoyong River in recent days, according to our intelligence, Hu Xiaotian's side has not had a ship through the Yongjiang River, that is to say" Su Yuchi said: "Their grain and grass come from Dayong" Yuan Qingshan nodded.
Su Yuchi snorted coldly and said: "The praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, everyone wants to pick up this cheap, Dayong deliberately let out the rumors, saying that he would join forces with us to deal with Hu Xiaotian, but they have their own plans behind their backs." ” Yuan Qingshan said: "Dayong has always been capricious, and he has done treacherous things over the years. ” Su Yuchi said: "I didn't expect them to support Xingzhou, Guo Guangbi, a lost dog, doesn't pay attention to any faith, aren't they worried that Guo Guangbi will bite back?"
Yuan Qingshan said: "Judging from the current situation, I thought that Guo Guangbi might have taken refuge in Dayong. ” Su Yuchi nodded and slowly walked two steps: "Hu Xiaotian rejected him, although Xichuan joined forces with him, but we blocked the passage between them, Xichuan's grain and grass could not be transported to Xingzhou at all, how to fight Guo Guangbi when he was hungry was the only way to take refuge in Dayong."
I think they should use Yunyang as a condition, and only in this way can they get Dayong's support for them. ” Yuan Qingshan said angrily: "This Guo Guangbi is really a villain, and he can betray his family and country." ” Su Yuchi smiled faintly: "Since the beginning of his rebellion, he has no longer regarded Dakang as his own family and country, and with this person's temperament, taking refuge in Dayong is just an expedient measure, just trying to deceive some grain and grass." ” Yuan Qingshan was stunned when he heard this: "What the general means is that Guo Guangbi may not launch an attack on us."
Su Yuchi shook his head: "He has no choice. ” Yuan Qingshan said: "I heard that Hu Xiaotian has recently increased his troops in Dongluocang, and there are a lot of rumors that he is going to attack Shao Yuancheng, I don't know if it's true or not."
Su Yuchi laughed and said: "It must be an illusion, it is impossible for him to attack Dayong now, he just wants to create a rumor to put pressure on Dayong, Hu Xiaotian is very sober-minded."
It's easy not to fight an uncertain battle, not to mention that what he wants most is Yunyang. ” Hu Xiaotian and Xia Changming rode flying owls and snow sculptures respectively, soaring above Yunyang City, and the situation within a radius of 100 miles below could be seen at a glance.
Xichuan gathered a total of 100,000 troops, this time the momentum is violent, there is a great tendency to take Yunyang in one fell swoop, and Xingzhou also has 50,000 soldiers and horses, the two sides of the coalition army totaling 150,000, respectively from the southwest and due north to Yunyang to advance, Yunyang 60,000 soldiers and horses, in addition to the old city wall, Yunyang has no geographical advantage to defend, the number of people in this war is huge, at least for the time being, Su Yuchi's side is completely in a passive situation.
The snow sculpture let out a long roar, and flew to the side of the flying owl under Xia Changming's control, Xia Changming said: "Lord, it seems that the formation will be completed in three days." ” Hu Xiaotian nodded, the big war is about to break out, no matter what the result is, this war will be the largest in the Central Plains in the past few years, and it is already foreseeable that a few days later, the tragic scene of blood flowing like rivers and corpses all over the field.
