Chapter 999

In the distance, the Western Turks had long since disappeared, and Xue Qianjun's investigation had quickly yielded results.

"Master Hou, it's not good! Master Chen Bin is gone! We searched the entire camp, but we couldn't find him!"

"What ?!!"

Hearing this, Wang Chong's face changed, and even Gao Xianzhi and Cheng Qianli next to him looked over, their expressions were completely different from before. Although they don't know much about Wang Chong's subordinates, they still know the name Chen Bin. He was the commander of the crossbow unit under Wang Chong, and he had great experience in commanding the crossbow. The same crossbow was in his hands, which was completely different from in the hands of others, and the weight of this person in Wang Chong's troops was extremely important.

In this war, although he did not charge into battle and fight on the battlefield like others, but after a war, I am afraid that a considerable number of Great Cannibals, Usti-Tibetans and Western Turks died at his hands.

If this person is missing, the impact on Datang and even the entire Talas will be very great!

"Look for me again! What about the city of Talas, have you searched the city? and...... Call me the people from the crossbow troops! And the guards around Chen Bin, don't they even know where Chen Bin has gone?"

In the end, Wang Chong's voice became stern.

"Yes!"

There was also a nervous look on the herald's face. Hou Ye is rarely so strict, but everyone knows that Chen Bin's disappearance is not trivial.

The herald went down quickly, and the entire army became busy and nervous with Wang Chong's order. And Gao Xianzhi, Cheng Qianli, and the generals in the army were also waiting uneasily. Soon, the results of the investigation were available, but the news was unwanted to be heard by everyone.

It has been confirmed that Du Wu Sili took a person with him when he retreated, and this person was Chen Bin! Because Chen Bin was injured when dealing with the Aurora Giant, the person was lying on the ground at that time, mixed with other wounded soldiers and corpses, so when Du Wu Sili left, he did not attract too many people's attention.

And then quite a lot of wounded were moved to the city of Talas, as well as many heavily protected places, the people of the crossbow unit thought that he had also been taken away, plus there was chaos in the battle, everyone was too busy to take care of themselves, and they didn't have the energy to pay attention to other things, so for a while, no one found out about the fact that Chen Bin was taken away.

This news was like a blockbuster*, which exploded fiercely in everyone's hearts, and the atmosphere was depressed and heavy for a while, and even Zhang Shouzhi stood aside with a solemn look.

"I don't understand, Du Wu Sili is known as the Heavenly Wolf General, and he is one of the top three imperial generals in the Western Turkic Khanate, what did he do when he kidnapped Chen Bin?"

Beside Cheng Qianli, the number three person in the Anxi Capital Protector Army, Xi Yuanqing interjected. He rushed over when he got the news, and what impressed Chen Bin the most was that he commanded the crossbow troops, and the scene of efficient and ruthless harvesting of big cannibals was wrong.

Although his martial arts skills are not high, the ability he shows is beyond the reach of many generals with higher strength than him. It's just that he still doesn't understand what the dignified wolf general is doing when he kidnaps him.

"Could it be that Du Wu Sili wants to get the secret of the crossbow from Chen Bin and build a crossbow army?"

Xi Yuanqing said.

"Impossible!"

Before Xi Yuanqing finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhang Shouzhi:

"The crossbow has always been the highest secret of Datang, and if you want to build a crossbow, you must have a drawing, which is not something you can build by looking at the appearance. It was a big crossbow at best, and the craftsman was in charge of the craftsman's business, and the warrior was in charge of the battlefield. Although Chen Bin is the commander of the wrong crossbow, he does not have the blueprint of the crossbow in his hand, and it is impossible for Du Wusili to get the secret of the crossbow through him. ”

"Moreover, the forging of crossbows requires a very high level of forging and a complete forging system, which is not something that can be achieved by a steppe empire like the Western Turks. Even if they get the blueprints of the crossbow, they will be useless!

Zhang Shouzhi's expression is categorical, in terms of forging, Zhang Shouzhi has absolute authority, whether it is the construction of the steel city or the advent of the heavy giant crossbow, Zhang Shouzhi's status in this world is like the sky, and he is a well-deserved great master. Especially in the steel city, the entire supervision was completed by Zhang Shouzhi, and the magnificent masterpiece raised Zhang Shouzhi's status to the extreme, and became a god-like existence in the minds of many craftsmen.

If he says that the Western Turkic Khanate could not forge a crossbow even if it got the blueprints, then this must be the case.

"But is it possible that the Western Turkic Khanate and the Great Cannibals will cooperate in an attempt to build a crossbow?"

Another general of the Anxidu Protector asked. The Western Turks, Uszang and the Great Cannibals, now the Tripartite Alliance, everyone is most worried that if the Western Turks and the Great Cannibals unite, then this matter will not be good.

It is true that the Western Turkic Khanate could not forge a crossbow, and there was no such forging technology and level, but the big cannibals were different, and if they got the drawings of the crossbow, they would definitely be able to forge it.

"No way. ”

This time, without waiting for Zhang Shouzhi's answer, Gao Xianzhi shook his head and was the first to veto this statement:

"The Great Cannibals are quite arrogant, they really clash with us, and it was only a matter of one or two months before they came into contact with the crossbows, and at that time, the Great Cannibals and the Western Turks had not yet formed an alliance. In addition, the tripartite alliance has just been formed, and each other has its own evil intentions, and in the current situation, the tripartite alliance is far from deep enough to forge a crossbow together. Moreover, with the way Abmuth/Lin behaved, I am afraid that what I would have hoped would be to see Du Wusli lead the army to attack us together with the Great Food, rather than just a blueprint of a crossbow. So this situation is absolutely impossible, at least Du Usli did it, and it definitely has nothing to do with Abmus/Lin. ”

"But if the Western Turkic Khanate can't forge a crossbow, and Du Wusli hasn't thought about cooperating with the Great Cannibal, then why did he kidnap Chen Bin?"

Xue Qianjun muttered to himself. The people who said the word fell silent. Chen Bin is the commander of the crossbow unit, if Du Wu Sili is not for the crossbow, what else can he be for? No one can think of this question.

"Don't think about it, if Du Wusli didn't come for the crossbow, then there was only one last thing left, the black wounded iron horse!"

In the eyes of everyone, Wang Chong said the last four words.

In the entire Talas, the strongest force in the Tang Dynasty, one is the highly efficient harvesting crossbow troops, and the other is the black wounded iron cavalry armed to the teeth, if it is not the crossbow troops, the rest will be obvious.

"But, Wang Chong, isn't Chen Bin the commander of the crossbow troops?

Gao Xianzhi frowned slightly and wondered. The dignified Heavenly Wolf General, crisscrossing the entire grassland and various borders, it is impossible to make such a low-level mistake, at this moment, even Gao Xianzhi is a little confused.

“...... Moreover, if Du Wu Sili wants to attack the Black Wounded Iron Horse, he can just do it directly, even if he covets the Outer Meteorite Iron Armor and Uzi Steel Sword of the Black Wounded Iron Horse, he doesn't need to take a person away. ”

The combat effectiveness of the Black Wounded Iron Cavalry is unimaginable, and it is impossible for Gao Xianzhi, as the commander of the army, not to notice. Moreover, the secret of the Extraterrestrial Meteorite and the Uzi Steel Sword, Wang Chong never thought of hiding it from him.

"I'm afraid the problem is with the armor. ”

When Wang Chong heard this, an imperceptible wry smile crossed the corner of his mouth.

"All the generals under my command are all equipped with the Extraterrestrial Meteorite Iron Armor and the Uzi Steel Sword, especially the generals, who are more well-equipped, and Wu Sili is not familiar with the composition of my army, he must have only noticed the special armor on the Black Wounded Iron Horse, and did not notice the other parts. So Chen Bin was also regarded as a black wounded iron cavalry unit. As for the purpose of Du Wu Sili's captivity, there is no accident, I am afraid it is for the formation of celestial phenomena. ”

"Buzz!"

Everyone was still stunned at first, but when they heard the four words of the formation celestial phenomenon, everyone's face changed sharply, and they suddenly understood something, especially Gao Xianzhi and Cheng Qianli, the vision of the two of them far exceeded ordinary people, and naturally they also understood the weight of the four words "formation celestial phenomenon" better.

In an instant, Gao Xianzhi's heart sank. A top commander like Gao Xianzhi, as long as Wang Chong said some of it, needless to say the rest, Gao Xianzhi already understood everything.

"There's something wrong with this. The formation celestial phenomenon is not trivial, in fact, if you don't mention it after this battlefield is over, I want to ask too. It's no wonder that Du Wusli looks down on your formation celestial phenomena. The Sky Wolf Iron Cavalry dominates the world, and is one of the three most powerful iron horses of the Western Turkic Khanate, if he is allowed to get the secret of the formation celestial phenomena again and raise the Sky Wolf Phantom Array to the highest level, I am afraid that no matter now or in the future, it will be the great enemy of our Tang Dynasty. In addition, I don't know much about the situation of your subordinates, but there is one thing I still want to ask, Chen Bin is the commander of the ballista unit, does he know about the celestial phenomena of the black wounded iron cavalry formation?"

Gao Xianzhi said with a serious expression.

"Yes. ”

Wang Chong nodded:

"Before I established the Ballista Army, he was actually one of the generals of the Black Wounded Iron Cavalry. He doesn't say he knows all the secrets, but at least he knows more than eighty percent. ”

"Wang Chong, the Western Turks are a cavalry empire, and they use more formations than us. If Du Usili gets the secret of the formation celestial phenomena and promotes it in the Western Turkic Khanate, you should understand what this means. So let me ask one more question, with what you know about Chen Bin, Du Wu Sili wants to know the secret of the formation celestial phenomena, will he succeed?"

Gao Xianzhi said very tactfully, but his expression became more and more dignified, Du Wu Sili's plan was not small, as the top general of the Western Turkic Khanate, one of the extremely high status, what he planned was not just to improve a Sky Wolf Iron Horse. The seriousness of this matter has gone beyond the level of Chen Bin's captivity and the serious impact of the ballista troops, and has risen to the level of a strategic contest between empires such as the Tang Dynasty and the Western Turkic Khanate.

"Alas. ”

Wang Chong let out a long sigh, slowly raised his head, and looked at the east:

"What I'm worried about now is not that Du Wusili might get the formation celestial phenomenon, but that he won't get it at all!"

Wang Chong said in a long voice, a trace of deep worry in his voice.
