Chapter 693 [First Strike] (II)


Xue Daohong couldn't help but be angry when he heard Hu Xiaotian's name, he gritted his teeth and said: "Hu Xiaotian, this bastard, has fought against me again and again, and I can't spare him."

He paced back and forth for a few steps: "Instead of attacking Xingzhou, it is better to take Dongliang County in one fell swoop and recover Dongluocang." ” Li Shenzhou was really a little crying and laughing when he heard this, could it be that Xue Daohong had lived a comfortable life for too long, and even his mind was confused Hu Xiaotian's current strength was not comparable to Xingzhou Guo Guangbi to destroy Hu Xiaotian, it was easy to say, but it was extremely difficult to really do.

Xue Daohong said: "Dakang is not begging us to join forces with them to create pressure on Hu Xiaotian, presumably he also hates Hu Xiaotian, in this case, we might as well propose to join forces with Dakang to remove Hu Xiaotian, the thorn in the flesh, as soon as possible." ” A wry smile appeared at the corner of Li Shenzhou's lips, it seemed that Xue Daohong's mind really did not focus on state affairs, he said euphemistically: "I'm afraid that Dakang is unwilling." ” Xue Daohong said: "What do they don't want to do to destroy Hu Xiaotian and carve up his territory with Yongjiang as the boundary, speaking of which, Dakang will take advantage of it more, and they will take what they need, harmless to others, and harmless to themselves, they will only ask for it."

Li Shenzhou said: "Your Majesty, the relationship between Hu Xiaotian and Dakang is ambiguous, after all, he has a marriage contract with Princess Yongyang.

He couldn't say it directly, Xue Daohong thought about the situation too simply, so he could only remind him euphemistically.

Xue Daohong said: "Are you saying that the two of them have not ended their old relationship, and this Hu Xiaotian really has some ways to deal with women."

Li Shenzhou said: "It seems that we underestimated the strength of Yunyang, Su Yuchi did not spend too much effort to defeat the Xichuan army, and Xingzhou Guo Guangbi saw that the situation was not good, so he did not dare to send troops at all." ” Xue Daohong seemed to have just returned to reality at this time, and said in amazement: "Xichuan sent 100,000 troops, even without the help of Xingzhou soldiers and horses. also has an absolute advantage in terms of troops, not to mention that Yunyang has no danger to defend at all, why did Su Yuchi win so easily" Li Shenzhou said: "Tactics are one thing, Su Yuchi also used two weapons in this war.

He took out the map from his bosom that he had drawn beforehand.

Xue Daohong took a look, and couldn't help frowning and said, "What are these things?"

Li Shenzhou said: "The same is called the heaven-shaking crossbow, and the other is called the tortoiseshell chariot."

The former seems to be no different from an ordinary siege crossbow, but the projectile is not a crossbow arrow, but venom, which shoots an iron cylinder filled with venom into the air above the enemy camp, and then the iron cylinder disintegrates, and the venom is scattered like falling rain into the enemy camp, as long as it is contaminated with the soldiers, even the armor can corrode, not to mention the flesh and bones of the body. ” Xue Daohong couldn't help but take a breath of cold air when he heard this.

I felt a faint sour smell in my abdomen, and I felt that the delicious food I had just eaten was tasteless.

Li Shenzhou said: "Another thing is called the tortoiseshell chariot, which can not only be driven by horses, but also can move on its own under the premise of horse casualties, and the steering is flexible, the outer armor of the chariot is indestructible, and there are bladed windmills around it during the battle.

Su Yuchi has no less than 200 sky-shattering crossbows.

Tortoiseshell chariots are also more than 100, and the lethality of these two weapons is extremely great.

There is no restraint at the moment. ” Xue Daohong pursed his lips and said with puzzlement: "How could Dakang have such a powerful weapon?"

Li Shenzhou said: "Tianji Bureau, it seems that they have been hiding their strength in the past, does Your Majesty still remember the winged armor warriors of the Tianji Bureau?"

Xue Daohong nodded and said, "Of course I remember, haven't we already cracked the secret?"

Li Shenzhou said: "The exquisiteness of the structure of the wing armor is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people, not to mention anything else.

The most terrifying thing is that the wing armor, the sky-shaking crossbow, and the tortoiseshell chariot are all from the Dayong Heavenly Machine Bureau, and it can be inferred that the Heavenly Machine Bureau does not know what kind of powerful weapons it has.

Therefore, we must not allow Dakang's strength to continue to develop. ” Xue Daohong was stunned when he heard this: "What do you mean?"

Li Shenzhou said: "Our biggest enemy in the Central Plains has always been Dakang, and we must find ways to get their secrets as soon as possible. ” Xue Daohong said: "It is difficult to buy Hong Beimo. ” Li Shenzhou said: "The Tianji Bureau is not a monolith. ” Xue Daohong immediately understood what he meant, nodded and said, "Shen Zhou, you just have to do it, I fully support you." ” Li Shenzhou said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, but the minister also has some courage to say to Your Majesty." ” Xue Daohong nodded.

Li Shenzhou said: "Your Majesty should know who King Yan is, and His Majesty should also understand the intention of giving His Majesty the beauty treasures." ” Xue Daohong smiled and said, "How can I not understand, of course I understand" The smile on his face looked very reluctant, and he was faintly unhappy in his heart.

Li Shenzhou observed his expression carefully, and he already understood in his heart that it was not suitable to continue, at the beginning of Xue Daohong's tenure, he could still speak freely, but now, with the long time on the throne, his mentality has changed.

Li Shenzhou's grasp of the situation was undoubtedly correct, but on the issue of Xingzhou, his handling was still not as decisive as Hu Xiaotian's, and when he got Xue Daohong's approval, he ordered the forces of Nanyang Shuizhai and the surrounding counties to besiege Xingzhou.

Hu Xiaotian's army has advanced to the outside of Xingzhou City at an alarming speed, although there are about 10,000 remnants of Guo Guangbi in Xingzhou City, but the siege has not yet begun, the people in the city rebelled under the leadership of a group of beggars, killed the generals who defended the city, opened the city gate, and welcomed Hu Xiaotian's army into the city, Guo Guangbi has already lost the hearts of the people, even if these soldiers are left, they have no intention of resisting, everyone knows in their hearts that if Hu Xiaotian does not come to attack them, they will also face the end of starvation.

Among them, the person who led the people to rebel and opened the door to greet was An Zhai, a disciple of the beggar gang, Hu Xiaotian had heard the name of this person, Qiao Fangzheng had solemnly recommended this person to him, but at that time, An Zhai's status in the Jiangbei beggar gang was low, and there was no outstanding credit, so it was inconvenient to improve his status.

The first thing Hu Xiaotian did when he arrived in Xingzhou was to distribute part of the military rations to the people in the city, and if he wanted the people to join him, he first had to let the people fill their stomachs, and the grain fleet led by Li Yongfu would also arrive in Xingzhou within two days, and then he would be able to completely solve the grain shortage in Xingzhou, in fact, there were not many people in Xingzhou City now, except for the 10,000 soldiers guarding the city, the remaining people were less than 20,000, and these 30,000 people could not constitute any burden for Hu Xiaotian.

After the army entered Xingzhou, Huo Shengnan was busy arranging defenses, lest other forces attack them before they could gain a firm foothold.

Hu Xiaotian entered Guo Guangbi's mansion, although the people of Xingzhou City lived in hunger and cold, but Guo Guangbi's mansion was extremely luxurious, although Guo Guangbi had previously transferred the treasures of the mansion, but only the exquisite palace and ingenious garden could already see the extravagance of his former life, which shows that this person's defeat is also a matter of course.

A samurai led a young man in, this young man was tall, ragged, and walked with a tigerish style, it was An Zhai who had made great contributions to the victory of Xingzhou in this battle.

An Zhai came to Hu Xiaotian, clasped his fists and saluted: "An Zhai of the grass people see the son" Hu Xiaotian looked at An Zhai with a smile and said, "You are An Zhai, I have heard Elder Qiao mention you many times, and you have made great contributions to being able to win Xingzhou City so smoothly this time."

An Zhai was neither humble nor arrogant: "The son's words are serious, and the business of the helper is the business of our beggar gang."

Euphemistically expressed that everything he did was because of Long Xiyue, the helper.

Hu Xiaotian laughed, he wouldn't mind this kind of trivial matter, it's not the same for Long Xiyue or for himself, why should the two husbands and wives be so clear Hu Xiaotian said: "Elder Qiao has always strongly recommended you to your gang leader, and the Long gang leader also attaches great importance to you, and the Jiangbei rudder will depend on you in the future." ” Although An Zhai didn't hear the gang leader say that in person, he also understood that Hu Xiaotian's meaning basically represented the meaning of the gang leader, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of excitement in his heart, he had always been unwilling to be in the gang, it seemed that his ability could finally be recognized, he said deeply: "Thank you for the promotion" Hu Xiaotian wanted to say a few more words to him, but at this time, he saw Xiong Tianba walking over with a general, Xiong Tianba pushed the general, and scolded him: "To be honest, if you dare to lie to me, Lao Tzu will pull your head." ” Hu Xiaotian said: "What's the matter?"

Xiong Tianba pointed at the general and said, "This traitor said that he has something to say to you in person, third uncle."

The general knelt down with a plop and said loudly: "Childe, we are all forced to be helpless, and I hope that Childe will spare our lives."

Hu Xiaotian looked down, but found that the general's face was a little familiar, and after a little pondering, he suddenly remembered that this person had seen it before, it was Luo Shifeng, a stonemason who led the migrant workers to rebel in the Dakang Emperor's Mausoleum, Hu Xiaotian said: "You are Luo Shifeng" Luo Shifeng didn't expect Hu Xiaotian to say his name at all, he couldn't help but be surprised, and raised his head boldly, because Hu Xiaotian passed through the disguise when he went to the imperial tomb, so Luo Shifeng had not seen his real face, and secretly wondered in his heart, how could Hu Xiaotian, a big man, recognize himself and call out his name as soon as he spoke.

Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "You used to be a stonemason who was responsible for building the imperial tomb."

The more Luo Shifeng listened, the more strange he became, sweat oozed from his forehead, I don't know if Hu Xiaotian has any ill will towards him, how could he be so clear about his origin, and said in a trembling voice: "Yes, but I have never done anything bad, if I wasn't forced to be helpless, I wouldn't have fled here." ” Please pay attention to the octopus's public prestige signal stonesid, there are many activities, and there are many prizes to be continued
