Chapter 345: Strictly Guarding the Border Pass
"Kill those horses for me!" One of the generals in Xigui yelled.
With a wave of Hua Ming's hand, the fire on the hillside was immediately lit, and taking advantage of the north wind, the fire quickly spread, burning a mountain at once.
Hua Daihu ran over panting, retreated with him, and asked worriedly: "It's too dangerous for General Xue to hide alone in the batch of war horses just now and blend in with the enemy army!" ”
"What the general decides, is it valid for us to oppose it?" Hua Ming's eyes showed admiration and said: "But seriously, General Xue is a woman, and she can be so strong and brave, she can be called the person I admire the most in my life!" ”
"It's also the person I admire the most!"
"General, there's an accident on General Mao's side!" A soldier quickly ran to the chariot commanded by Xigui, lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "The 100,000 soldiers led by General Mao have encountered the elite team brought back by Hua Xuekong and the 100,000 vanguard army of Dayu, and if we don't send reinforcements, General Mao's 100,000 soldiers will probably be wiped out!" ”
"What?"
"General Mao sent his subordinates to ask for support!"
General Xigui glanced at the situation on the battlefield, gritted his teeth sharply, and said, "Okay! The border gate city can't be captured for the time being, so General Ben will go and eat Dayu's 100,000 vanguard army first! The army obeyed the order and withdrew! ”
At the sound of the order, the eastern and western armies retreated like a tide, and the soldier who gave the order retreated in the opposite direction of the army without a trace.
On the tower of the city, all the soldiers immediately cheered: "The eastern and western armies have retreated!" ”
Qingling stared sharply at the figure who was quickly running towards the city gate until she came to the city. Raising his head, he gestured to him.
A wave of ecstasy flooded Qingling's heart: "It's Madame!" Madam! ”
"General Snow is back?" General Hanada also leaned over excitedly, looked down, and saw Rao Xuekong's smiling face.
"Qingling! Open the gates! ”
Rao Xuekong glanced back at the nearly 20,000 soldiers who had rushed back from the other side, and shouted.
"Yes!"
Qingling excitedly rushed down to open the city gate, Rao Xuekong strode into the city, waved his hand, and said, "Let's go, go up and watch a play!" ”
Hua Ming and Hua Daihu also returned to the city safely with the people, and the heavy city gate was closed again.
On the castle tower. In the distance, you can still see the movement of the eastern and western armies. On the hillside where the fire was raging, there were screams and the neighing of horses.
"General Snow, what's going on?" General Hanada asked suspiciously.
Hanada said excitedly on the side: "General Xue hid alone in the group of war horses that rushed into the army just now, and took advantage of the chaos to put on the other party's clothes. lied to the other party and said that Dayu's 100,000 vanguard troops came to support. is about to completely destroy Mao Qiu's 100,000 troops. Xigui's stupid general was greedy for a while, and wanted to turn the spearhead and go over to save Mao Qiu first, and by the way, he destroyed Dayu's 100,000 vanguard army. How did you know that General Xue was deceiving them! When General Snow came, we had temporarily dug hundreds of traps over there, enough for them! ”
"Madame is really one move after another, so that people can't guard against the front and can't guard against the back!" Qingling was very proud, it seemed that this was their Dayu's general's wife, their housewife, and this incident made him extremely proud.
"You're calling me treacherous, aren't you?" Rao Xuekong glanced at him.
Qingling hurriedly cleared up: "The subordinates are praising Mrs. for being powerful!" ”
The crowd burst into laughter.
"Alright, count the casualties and report the list." Rao Xuekong glanced around, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little heavy, and there were many dead people. This time, the Eastern and Western armies estimated tens of thousands of casualties, and the soldiers of the Hua Dynasty also suffered many casualties. "Set up a healing point in the city, bring the military doctors there, and arrange for people to take good care of the wounded."
"Yes." Qingling immediately ordered to go down.
"General Hanada, hurry up and go to the medicine bandage, the general has only one bow and three arrows, his divine power is extraordinary, and he is really heroic!"
Hua Tian said with some embarrassment: "I only have some brute strength, in terms of strategy, General Xue is still in charge." ”
"Come on, General Fuhuatian will go down to find a military doctor."
Rao Xuekong asked people to help the flower field down, went down the city tower, and while walking towards the city, he said to Qingling and them: "The eastern and western armies will definitely make a comeback, and we can't relax." Have you prepared what I asked you to prepare? ”
"Madame, it has been prepared, and the things from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have also been delivered, but the subordinates don't know how to use those things." Qingling was also curious. Another point, although he really wanted to ask what had happened to her in the past ten days, and whether she had met with the general, but because the war was tight now, she had already stood here well, so she would ask again when she had time later.
Rao Xuekong said: "You take twenty people and come with me." ”
These twenty people naturally have to be the most trustworthy. Qingling comprehended, immediately selected twenty people, and took Rao Xuekong to the munitions depot in the city.
There were truckloads of materials that Rao Xuekong wanted, sulfur powder, iron filings, iron rings, and so on. She asked Hua Yuanjin to find someone to make countless thin iron kettles that looked like grenades, with stoppers.
These things, no one knows what to do.
What Rao Xuekong wants to do is the simplest grenade.
Gunpowder needs to be made in the same proportions, and she doesn't want to tell anyone. Therefore, she asked people to wait outside first, and she first configured the gunpowder, added iron filings, and did everything that really had technical content by herself, and then let them do the rest of the work.
All that remains is to put the things in the grenade case, and then carefully pack and seal them with the fire signal.
"Ma'am, what's this called?" Qingling looked at the several large frames of round iron things that were almost produced in batches in bamboo frames, and he was really puzzled.
"Here, take a few out and experiment with them, I don't know if they will work or not." Rao Xuekong was even a little excited, although she had also made her own grenades in special training before, but the conditions were so poor, it was really the first time, so she didn't know what the effect was.
With a few freshly baked grenades, a few people came to an empty wasteland, surrounded by a bamboo forest, and there were no people, which was a good place to experiment.
Rao Xuekong asked the soldiers to put the surroundings under martial law and not let anyone approach, only bringing Qingling and a few other generals, ready to let them see the power of this grenade together.
She picked up a grenade, looked at it with a little disgust, and said to Qingling and them: "This kind of thing is called a grenade, don't move around, watch me cast one first." With that, she tugged at the improvised pull ring and threw the grenade out.
I only heard a loud "boom", and a large area of earth and rocks exploded in the distance, and the dust dispersed for a while.
Qingling and the others couldn't help but cover their ears in fright just now, and then they looked at it again, and the flat wasteland just now was actually blown out of a big hole!
"I'm a mother!"
"Good boy, this thing is so scary?"
"W-what kind of divine power is this?"
Rao Xuekong still feels a little disdainful, this power is like this, it is unsatisfactory, much worse than what she did in modern times before.
"It's not divine power, it's explosives."
Her understatement set off turbulent waves in the hearts of Qingling and others. Hua Ming was very excited, and stuttered a little excitedly: "This, this, want, if, fight, we won't win, we will win!" ”
Rao Xuekong shook his head and said, "Some materials are estimated not to be so much. "In ancient times, it was not easy to open mines, and it was not easy to produce these things in large quantities, and they couldn't throw them out as much as they didn't need money," this thing should be used when it is most valuable. ”
However, she found something that was also very powerful, and that was the oil field.
She had already written a secret letter to Hua Yuanjin before, and I believe that he would attach great importance to it after reading the letter.
Although she said this, Hua Ming and the others still believed in the excitement, and Rao Xuekong also carefully taught them how to use grenades.
Until a soldier came and invited them back to the camp for dinner.
On the way back to the camp, Qingling followed Rao Xuekong and asked in a low voice, "Madam, can we Dayu also make this kind of grenade?" Shall we send a message to the general? ”
Rao Xuekong glanced at him, "Qingling, you are really loyal to your general." Don't worry, I met your general three days ago, and I told him the recipe and how to make it. ”
Qingling scratched the back of his head and said with a grin: "Madame doesn't know, the most loyal subordinate is actually Madame, I don't believe what you ask your subordinates to do to the general next time, your subordinates will definitely not shirk!" ”
"Okay, that's what you said!"
Qingling raised his head: "Really, pearls are not so true!" He was thinking to himself, hehe, anyway, you two husband and wife have such a good relationship, you can't let me do something bad for the general, right?
The news of Rao Xuekong's return has naturally spread throughout the army, and everyone is very happy, and on this day they withstood the siege of a million troops, although there were casualties, but at least it proved that the eastern and western armies were not irresistible, and proved that they themselves were not so bad!
The spies reported that the eastern and western armies had retreated to the camp thirty miles away, and their morale was not high, and there was no sign of another attack for the time being.
After breakfast, Rao Xuekong went to see the wounded soldiers, and then plunged into intense combat preparations.
At noon, Mao Qiu once again brought 700,000 troops to the city.
"You have no man in the Hua Dynasty, and letting a little girl be a general is simply laughing off her big teeth! Come on, let your female general come out! ”
Mao Qiu shouted outside the city, and the sound was very loud, and it reached the city.
Qingling said: "Madam, you rest, your subordinates will take people there!" ”
Rao Xuekong shook his head: "Everyone has named me, how can I hide, let's go." ”
When she climbed the city tower and looked down, she saw that the black pressed a large army of east and west, separated by a distance of two hundred meters, and the formation was spread out, and the momentum was a little stronger than in the early morning, almost making people feel that this army could knock down the city tower.
"Maoqiu, I didn't burn you to death in the morning, and you rushed up to die again?" Hua Ming shouted.
"Get out of you, your subordinates are defeated, what qualifications do you have to talk to Lao Tzu? Spare the snow! Have the ability to come out and fight face-to-face! You little, you're going to play tricks! Do you dare to go out of the city to fight? If you dare, General Ben will leave his words here, as long as you win the battle against Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will no longer attack the city today! (To be continued......)
