Chapter 021: Conquering the Northern Frontier


"Be careful."

Yao Shu hugged Mu An and looked at Mu Beirong, who was wearing a white shirt.

After half a month of arranging troops, he was finally about to set out today.

The target was Huangfu who had established a new branch.

Yao Shu originally wanted to go with him, but Mu An was too young, so she didn't feel comfortable taking him with him, so she could only wait for him with peace of mind.

"Wait until I come back."

Mu Beirong pressed a kiss on the mother and daughter's foreheads as usual, took a deep look, turned over and dragged them to no avail.

Only by solving the problem as soon as possible can they truly be stable.

After the team had gone far, Yao Shu returned to the palace with her child and Song Qing.

The war was another long and painful wait.

Fortunately, this time it took a long time to prepare and the explosives she brought were sufficient.

Huangfu Ji's power was only half of that in Northern Xinjiang. , should be easier to conquer than before.

The day after Mu Beirong left, Yao Shu received a letter that surprised her.

The owner of the letter was Sun Yingxin, and the content was naturally about peace.

Yao Shu was overjoyed to learn that Qin Chi was not dead.

She had been missing this news for a long time, but it turned out that she was rescued by Sun Ying.

She calmed down before continuing to read.

In the letter, Sun Ying hoped to get help from Yao Shu.

She wanted to leave the southern border and come to live in Mucheng.

However, not only was the injured Qin Chi but also her father in the southern border, and she wanted to leave safely.

It's not that simple at all.

Naturally, Yao Shu would not sit idly by.

After thinking about the capable and trustworthy people around her, Yao Shu waved her hand: "Ask Qiao Sang to come see me."

Since the recapture of Mu City, Yao Shu has rarely seen Qiao Sang.

He is Mu Beirong's confidant and can be considered a veteran.

He is also capable, so he is naturally very busy.

Yao Shu was teasing Mu An.

Qingqing said that Qiao Sang was here.

Yao Shu stood up and said, "Let him come in."

"Madam, you are looking for me."

Qiao Sang was still dressed in purple, and his smile was still as chic.

"Yes."

Yao Shu handed the letter to him: "Take a look."

"Captain Qin is not dead," Qiao Sang said in surprise, "Madam wants me to go to the south to meet them."

Yao Shu nodded: "Sun Ying is Yao Yuan's wife now, and Qin Chi is injured again.

He is still dead to the outside world.

It is difficult to escape without anyone noticing, so I want you to go."

Qiao Sang let Mu An hold his finger with a gentle expression: "Okay, I'll pack up and leave."

"You must be careful on this trip.

Don't be in a hurry.

You can take your time."

Yao Shu warned.

"Madam, don't you believe me yet?"

Qiao Sang smiled: "I promise to complete the mission."

For Qiao Sang, Yaoshu still nodded with confidence and watched him leave.

Now in Mu City, with Mu Xiao and Xiao Qingli in charge, there is almost nothing to worry about.

The rest are all external disturbances.

To be honest, the military strength of Mucheng is not superior compared to the two countries.

Their advantages lie in the terrain, weapons and Mubei Rong's good fighting skills.

Compared with Yao Li, Huangfu Ji is more threatening, so if this time the Mucheng Beirong can successfully defeat Huangfu Ji, and facing the remaining Huangfu Yin and Yao Li, his chances of winning are much greater.

Yao Shu hugged Mu An and looked at her more and more beautiful face, her mood became lighter: "An An, let's wait for dad to come back together, okay?"

After half a month of day and night travel, the army finally arrived at the southern edge of Northern Xinjiang, which was Huangfuji's base.

Rather than attack rashly, Mubeirong ordered the army to camp ten miles outside the city to rest.

Naturally, Huangfu Ji had already received the news that Mu Beirong was leading troops to invade, and was preparing for the invasion.

He now only had an army of 300,000 men, which was comparable to the army led by Mu Beirong.

What he was worried about was the issue of weapons.

Originally, the weapons he made were limited, but when he was forced to leave by Huangfu Yin, he was in a hurry and had no chance to take away the remaining explosives.

The situation was very unfavorable for him.

If it was okay for Ling Ya to bring the child, then he could blackmail Mu Beirong and take the initiative, but Ling Ya was useless, her goal was not achieved, and she even lost her life to recruit Mu Beirong faster.

"General, I suggest that we just attack the city directly without going around any detours with them."

A general pointed at the map: "This is not the main border fortress in northern Xinjiang.

The city gates and defenses are already poor.

Plus we still have explosives.

We can definitely attack in the middle."

Attack the city within a month.”

Mu Beirong nodded, but did not express his position.

He did not want to use head-on tactics.

He wanted to try his best to win Huangfu's successor with the minimum sacrifice.

After all, the number of people in Mu City was really small.

Unlike the two countries that could recruit troops to fill it, he still had to Reserve your troops to deal with Huangfu Yin and Yao Li?

"The general has other tactics," Dai Hu asked the silent Mu Beirong.

Mu Beirong twirled his fingers: "Gu's tactic is that you can open the city gate without using the human sea tactic."

"How to do it?"

Dai Hu asked hurriedly.

He always knew that generals always have strange tricks in fighting.

"I'll leave this task to you."

Mu Beirong pointed at the map: "Take a small team of people, don't attract the enemy's attention, and find out the geographical location and environment outside the city."

"General, are you looking for a breakthrough?"

Dai Hu asked.

"Yes" If it were put in the past, they basically had no other way except to attack by force.

This method of siege would cause the enemy to injure one thousand and himself to injure eight hundred.

It's different now.

They have explosives.

As long as they understand the environment and blow through without attracting the enemy's attention, they can catch them by surprise.

When they open the city gate from the inside, the army can attack in one fell swoop, which will take a lot less effort. loss And just when Mu Beirong was planning to attack the city, the southern border also took action.

Lian Yao led an army of 400,000 to suppress the border with force.

At such a critical moment when Makujo faced a crisis, neither Makubeirong nor Daihu was there, and importantly, neither was Qiao Sang.

There was no other way, Mu Xiao could only go on the court with his body that had not yet fully recovered to face the enemy Yao Che.

As the deputy general assisted in more than half a year of training, Yao Che had completely transformed.

Even Mu Beirong would praise him sometimes.

The southern border is not like the north side of the curtain, which waits and waits, and then starts a fierce attack on the city the next day.

There are still 300,000 troops in the curtain city.

Although they are at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, they have the advantage of the terrain.

Easily repelled the southern army.

He easily repelled the southern army's siege on the first day of the city.

I guess it was because the southern army was watching the curtain.

Beirong led his army to the northern border, and wanted to take this opportunity to capture the curtain city again.

Unfortunately, Mu Beirong took away most of the explosives.

Yao Shu also urged Li Zheng to speed up the production and not to use the remaining explosives lightly.

It is best to use them at critical moments.

Mainly, under the current situation, it is not difficult to repel the attack from the Southern Territory.

The favorable geographical conditions allow them to suffer fewer casualties than the Southern Territory.

At the same time, news was also sent to Mu Beirong.

It was a letter written by Yao Shu herself.

There was no sign of anxiety in the letter, and she just told him to pay attention to safety and not to worry.

She believed that even if he did not say he had meritorious service, he would definitely guard the curtain.

He just needs to feel at ease and defeat Huangfu Ji.

Yao Shu gave the child to Song Qing and stayed at the city gate.

Although she had never fought in modern times, she had read many military books.

The next day, the enemy troops formed a formation outside the city as usual.

Yao Shu stood on the tower and looked at the leader wearing black armor.

That was Lian Yao, and behind him was a huge and orderly army.

"Why are there so many cowards in the fortified city?

No one dares to come out to fight."

A soldier shouted outside the city.

"Old city lord's wife" a soldier couldn't bear it: "The last general will leave the city to fight" "No need."

Yao Shu raised her hand: "Bring me a bow and arrows."

The soldier behind him handed the bow and arrow into Yao Shu's hand.

Yao Shu pulled and released it hard, and an arrow shot out of the air and flew towards the soldier accurately and quickly.

"Ah" the soldier's eyes widened, his forehead was pierced by an arrow, and he fell from his horse with a clang.

Lian Yao frowned and looked up, just in time to see Yao Shu who had just put down the arrow.

Lian Yao's eyes shrank.

He didn't know that Ah Shu had such ability.

The soldiers in the Tokugawa Palace burst into laughter: "You should go back and see, even our wife is so powerful, who can you beat?"

If it were your wife, Lian Yao gritted his teeth and said, "Attack the city."

"Come on" was ordered, and the army immediately began to attack the city, with trebuchets, arrows, ladders and various tools starting to work.

The biggest threat to them was the trebuchet.

Yao Shu turned back to Yao Che and said, "Che'er, bring some explosives and destroy their trebuchet."

As for those who used the ladder, they were either killed or stoned by the soldiers on the city gate.

It was difficult to attack them.

After a while, Yao Che led people to bring in explosives: "Sister, what should I do?"

The soldiers who stayed in Mucheng had not used explosives yet.

"Watch it."

Yao Shu smiled.

In ancient times, there was no way to make iron bombs, so these explosives were made in the form of explosive packets.

They could not be thrown like iron ones, but they were much lighter than them.

Yao Shu specially asked them to make the fuse longer when making it.

She lit the fuse with a fire stick, passed the arrow through the strap of the explosive, and fired hard at the trebuchet below the city.

The explosive fell accurately on the trebuchet The soldiers in the southern border have all seen this thing.

They were frightened by the use of this thing in the northern border.

When they saw the explosives, they immediately ran away in panic: "It's explosives.

They have explosives."

With a "boom", the fuse was burned out, and the explosive exploded immediately.

It was so powerful that it directly broke the support of the trebuchet.

"Mrs.

Wu is so powerful!"

the soldiers in Mucheng cheered a few times, and immediately picked up explosives and followed suit, which was bound to completely destroy more than twenty large trebuchets.

How lucky they are that such a terrible thing belongs to them.

If the enemy had this, it would be a nightmare.

Lian Yao was also panicked.

He thought that only Northern Territory had such perverted things, but he didn't expect that there were people in Southern Territory who looked at the almost half-destroyed trebuchet and made a decisive decision: "Retreat first."

Under such circumstances, the hope of attacking the city is already slim.

There are actually explosives in Maku Castle.

He originally thought of using numbers to break the city gate, but it seems that it will be difficult to implement.

On the way to retreat, he turned his head and glanced at the beautiful figure on the city gate.

He who had originally proposed to attack Mucheng at this time just wanted to seize this opportunity and snatch her back.

No matter how difficult it was, he would never give up.

He didn't believe that he still had an army of 400,000 in his hands.

Even if he lost 8,000, he couldn't attack the gate of Mucheng:
