Not far from the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, I saw several densely packed soldiers lined up in several pairs, piercing each other, some fighting shirtless, some interspersed with scarecrows with spears, and some shooting bullseyes with bows and crossbows.

The soldiers only heard the sound of horses' hooves, and they stopped training one after another, and saw a man in armor, coming on horseback, and were very curious, because they had been training here for many years, and few people came.

Mu Xi tightened the horse's belly, and Bai Feng's speed went straight to the training camp like a sword, so really like the wind, so majestic!

The donkey's sound, her tightening of the reins, and the white wind came to an abrupt end.

The soldiers surrounded Mu Xi.

"Who dares to trespass into the training base? Is there a metaphor for General Zhang! ”

。

Mu Xi looked at the soldiers under the horse in a daze, she had seen shirtless men, but she had never seen tens of thousands of men without shirts today.

I'm scared, this figure, this abdominal muscles, and a few knife wounds, full of masculinity, at this moment she wants to ask, are they used to being cold, or have they practiced dead skin.

Instinct A hot current flowed out of her nostrils, it couldn't be a nosebleed, Yun Muxi should be so embarrassed, she stretched out her fingertips and touched it, relieved, fortunately it was not a nosebleed, it was a snot.

It's cold in the heights, it's really cold on horseback, it's still a quick battle, Mu Xi cleared his throat.

"The imperial court sent the prince of Yan to lead an army of 100,000 to attack the barbarians, and now the prince of Yan is trapped in the Tianshan Mountains, and the imperial court has sent this general to support, you and others must obey my orders"

, Mu Xi pulled his throat and deliberately thickened the timbre.

At this time, there was a lot of discussion below, as soon as they heard that the prince of Yan was trapped, everyone was very angry, after all, it was a brother who lived and died with the prince of Yan, the prince and General Zhang took them to fight many victories, and they did hear that when the emperor sent the prince to send troops to attack the barbarians, but, since the prince of Yan was in trouble, why not General Zhang came in person, but this hairy boy they didn't know each other came.

A soldier asked: "There is no basis for what we say, we only obey the orders of the prince and General Zhang."

。

She had to be asked to show off the talisman to work, Mu Xi reached into his chest with one hand, took out the bronze talisman and raised it high, raised his head, and looked up at the soldiers on the ground proudly.

"Who else is disobedient with the military talisman in hand, and those who do not obey the military order will be dealt with by military law"

, Mu Xi raised his voice, and his expression had never been as strict as it was now.

A few sharp-eyed soldiers recognized the talisman at a glance.

"Waiting for the general, you are willing to listen to the general's dispatch"

。

Tens of thousands of troops knelt down in unison, and the neat and loud sound echoed at the foot of the entire Tianshan Mountain.

But there are still some soldiers who are not convinced, this man on the horse, although he is wearing armor, looks weak, a very weak scholar, but because of the military license in his hand, he has to swallow his anger.

"Well, that's good!"

, Mu Xi stepped on the horse's pedal with his left foot, crossed the horse's back with his right leg, and planned to jump off the horse in a dashing manner.

The whole person fell off the horse, sat on the ground with his buttocks, and fell on all fours.

The style of painting has changed abruptly, from the high-spirited of Fang Cai to the current clown who jumps off the beam.

Mu Xi covered his mouth and almost screamed, and secretly glanced at the soldiers kneeling on the ground, fortunately, they all lowered their heads and didn't see the scene of her wolf bèi just now, Mu Xi quickly got up from the ground, patted the dust on his body, and immediately straightened his waist.

"Get up, all of you, who can speak, and report how much grain and grass we have in our barracks?"

。

"Back to the general, the military camp will hoard a month's worth of grain and grass every time, and after it is used up, it will send people to Yizhou City to buy it, and I have just bought a month's worth of grain yesterday."

, the soldier standing at the front reported.

Mu Xi calculated in his heart, a month's hoarding of grain, then he must end this battle quickly within half a month.

"All go back to the barracks to rest, do a good job of cold protection, prepare knives and guns, and prepare food and grass for the logistics troops, tomorrow at noon, we will set off and sneak into the Tianshan Mountains, and send another dozen or so people to the city to buy a large amount of sulfur and saltpeter, the more the better, act in concealment, and never let anyone know, we must come back at noon tomorrow."

, Mu Xi commanded very cautiously.

"Yes, General, I'll assign it right away"

, at this time the estimation of speaking is a leading infantryman.

Mu Xi and the soldiers returned to the barracks, Mu Xi returned to the tent, the tent was not bad, the charcoal fire was burning very warm, Mu Xi picked up the map in the baggage and studied it.

This is the map of the Tianshan Mountains that she bought in the antique shop, and she didn't make any name for it for a long time, so she planned to call a soldier in, who should be very familiar with the terrain of the Tianshan Mountains for many years.

Mu Xi poked his head out of the curtain, stared at a simple-looking little soldier passing by, shhh

The soldier looked around and pointed at himself, and Mu Xi nodded.

The little soldier put down his work and went into the wooden tent.

"What does the general command?"

。

"When does General Zhang usually come here?"

。

"General Hui, General Zhang will come once or twice a month, and he came yesterday when he was buying grain and grass."

。

Mu Xi hummed, secretly happy in her heart, she just came yesterday, she shouldn't come again in the next few days, she has enough time to prepare, she has already led an army of 50,000 to set off before the old general came, come and kill first.

"Sit down first"

Mu Xi pointed to the bench beside her.

The soldier looked at the bench and hesitated: "This, general, I'm still standing"

。

"Whatever you want, you describe the terrain of the Tianshan Mountains to me"

, Mu Xi stretched out his hand to bake the charcoal fire, and listened attentively.

"The topography of the Tianshan Mountains is peculiar, as a whole, it is two high and one short, the periphery is a high mountain rock, the inside is a slightly flat mountain road, and when you continue to go inside, it is a high mountain."

。

"In this Tianshan war, where do you live as a Xuannu?"

, Mu Xi wondered.

"Xuannu Niangniang has always been on the rooftop in the middle of the Tianshan Mountain, with the masters of various martial arts factions, and the Tianshan Mountain is only allowed to open every year."

。

The Xuannu is in the Tianshan Mountains, and the battlefield is in the Tianshan Mountains, how can there be such a coincidence!

Mu Xi continued to ask.

"Is the Xuannu really so miraculous? Is it useful to send so many good men every year? ”

。

"The general has lived in the river for many years, and he doesn't know that this Xuannu Niangniang can ensure that the peasants are in good weather, and the official career is rising, and some difficult things in the family can be easily solved, but I don't know why General Zhang is not optimistic about this sacrificial ceremony at all, it is estimated that it is related to his own son, his son."

, the soldier talked rhetorically, and the more he talked, the more energetic he became.

"Okay, how can you be more verbose than a woman"

, Mu Xi interrupted his words and asked the point, "Let me ask you, you just said that it is the major martial arts factions that guard the Tianshan Mountains, so this Xuannu is not only related to the officials of the Yamen, but also has something to do with the major factions in the rivers and lakes."

。

"The general is really smart, all the major sects want to get the Xuannu, I heard that there is a secret on this Xuannu, rumors, the Xuannu has a long-lost martial arts cheats, there are also rumors, the Xuannu dances and frightens the soul, all beings are upside down, the magic is boundless, you can sit on the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance and dominate the rivers and lakes, in order to avoid people with bad intentions to get her, but also for the sake of fairness, the various major sects in the rivers and lakes discuss locking the Xuannu in the Tianshan Mountains, and no one can get it"

The soldier lowered his voice as he spoke, as if he were speaking an inscrutable myth.

When the atmosphere was a little secret, the soldier's tone changed, "Actually, it's all rumors, hehe, no one knows what the specific situation is."

。

Mu Xi rolled his eyes at him, and said boringly: "I said it, it means I didn't say it, of course I know that this Xuannu has its special features to have so many people rob it, and this special is the point!" Good no good! ”

。

"I know one of the special things about Xuannu"

, The soldier seemed to think of something, and said violently, infected by Yun Muxi's easy-going temperament, completely forgetting that it was a general who was talking to him, and was completely in a relaxed state.

Mu Xi looked at the soldier with disgust, "Don't be surprised, don't talk nonsense"

。

The soldier smiled, as if he had thought of something, his cheeks were slightly red, "Her special thing is that there is no second woman in the world who is more beautiful than her."

。

Mu Xi glanced at the soldier's blushing cheeks, "Damn!" ”

, poked his head with a finger, and smiled, "I think you are only seventeen or eighteen years old at most, and you have started to think about spring at a young age, and you have been so superficial since you were a child."

。

The soldier didn't get used to it for a while, and he was very surprised by Mu Xi's behavior, how could a general make a gesture to his subordinates, and laugh so unreservedly.

"You go down first, get ready, you're going to leave tomorrow at noon, you're done."

Mu Xi waved his hand at the sluggish soldier.

"Hello?"

The soldier came out of the tent with confusion.

There were still a few hours before the departure, Mu Xi chose to set off at noon, because the fog in the mountain had already dissipated, so it was convenient to move forward, and when the journey reached the evening, the fog gathered again, and they had already gone up the mountain, just because the thick fog in the evening could block the enemy's vision, so they took the opportunity to sneak attack.

"It's not installed, I'll take a look"

Mu Xi picked up the stick, mixed the batch of sulfur and saltpeter, and then loaded the mixture into the hollow wood dug in advance, she wanted to use bamboo, but where did she go to find the bamboo, so she had to use the hollow wood dug up by hand.

Mu Xi also joined the team of sulfur and saltpeter, and with the joint efforts of tens of thousands of troops, it is now two hollow logs containing batches of sulfur and saltpeter mixture.

The forward cavalry only carried a hollow log.

The infantry forces in the middle, in addition to carrying hollow wood on their backs, also carried their own grain and grass.

Behind the children are the artillery units, with flames stuffed on their backs, waists, and boots, and at the back are the logistics troops, transporting grain, grass, munitions, and heating tools.

Dressed in armor, Mu Xi stepped on the horse's pedal with one foot, and the other leg slid past the back of the horse's butt, and steadily climbed onto the horse's back.

Mu Xi raised the long flag and shouted, "Let's go!" ”
