Gu Mozhi watched her stretch her neck and swallow reluctantly, feeling distressed and amused in her heart: "I told them to bring you another meal." ”

Hua Qianshu's bold words have been said, no matter how unpalatable it is, you have to eat it: "Don't bother, you can hurry up and get busy, or rest for a while." After all, the burden of Wolong Pass is on your shoulders. ”

"I don't have to do the previous things myself, I have all explained them to Jiang Biao. It's just you, and I'm most at ease. You must know that your bow and crossbow have been successfully tested one after another today, which has also boosted the morale of the soldiers in front of you. In the future, this crossbow will depend on your command, and you can't miss a minute. ”

Hua Qianshu swallowed a mouthful of radish with difficulty, and every mouth was filled with the unique flavor of sauce in Wolong Pass: "Leave everything here to me, you can rest assured." I will definitely live up to the trust of these brothers in Wolongguan, and I will repair and improve these bed crossbows as soon as possible. However, I need about 500 crossbowmen to control these machines, and it's best to get them involved in training tomorrow to get them to grips with their Karakuri as quickly as possible. ”

"Is 500 soldiers enough? I heard Shen Yan say that these bed crossbows and trebuchets are particularly troublesome, requiring more than a dozen people to control one, plus the transportation of stones, it is because of these drawbacks that they are gradually eliminated. Gu Mozhi asked.

Hua Qianshu nodded firmly: "I will improve as much as possible, increase the range and accuracy, and reduce manpower." Just like this trebuchet, it is too time-consuming and labor-intensive to transport the stone to the city walls, we can hide it inside the city walls and launch it, and only need someone to direct it from the city walls. At that time, the transportation of stones can mobilize the residents of the city to participate in it.

I just don't know how much time the Xiliang people can give me, I have to fight every moment, and strive to give them a head-on blow when the Xiliang people invade and catch them off guard. ”

"Don't put this burden on yourself!" Gu Mozhi frowned slightly: "Defending the city is first of all our responsibility, and you have already given us a big surprise." ”

Hua Qianshu thought about it, in this situation, should he say something such as "the rise and fall of the country, the husband is responsible" and other bold words to show his noble sentiments?

originally thought that the rise and fall of Chang'an had nothing to do with her because of the grievances of her family, but she didn't expect that at the moment of the great enemy, the blood belonging to the Hua family in her body began to surge again, and she would never allow Xiliang's iron horse to step into this Chang'an City!

This Chang'an is a country that his father and brother have protected with their lives, even if it is rotten, it will not allow you Xiliang thieves to trample on it.

When the words came to his lips, he changed it lightly: "Eating people with a short mouth, taking people softly, and receiving the great favor of Big Brother Gu, why do you have to show a little bit of it?"

Winked playfully, indicating that he was just joking.

Before he could take a breath, a soldier stepped forward and respectfully asked Hua Qianshu for a question. In a few words, he couldn't say it clearly, and Hua Qianshu could only get up and go forward to check.

Gu Mozhi also knew that time was precious, and he had to work day and night, without sleep, so he could only order Hujian to come over, take a pen and prescribe medicine, and add a lot of tonics, and ordered the previous Nafu soldiers to stay and be responsible for her diet and daily life, and be sure to take care of her body. Then he rushed to other places to make rounds.

Hua Qianshu worked tirelessly here, selecting smart people from among the people and horses dispatched, explaining to them the construction principles such as bed crossbows, and understanding simple emergency maintenance methods, and then they led the soldiers to practice.

Those damaged bed crossbows can be repaired, and if they can't be repaired, they will be improved, so as to make the best use of things.

On the second day, the news of the Xiliang soldiers pressing the border spread all over Wolong Pass. There was an unprecedented panic among the residents of the Guannai, shops were closed, and some people began to drag their families and flee for their lives out of the city.

Gu Mozhi was busy pacifying the riots of the residents in the city, and he was also trying to find ways to boost morale and arrange defenses, so he was very busy.

He didn't know anything about this border defense and warfare, and he had just taken up his post, and before he had time to get acquainted with it, he had to plunge into the brutal struggle.

Even so, the people of Xiliang didn't give him much time. After a brief rest, the first wave of fierce attacks was launched.

They are desperately in a hurry, and the people of Xiliang are not the same, they must rush before the reinforcements from Chang'an arrive, and capture as many cities as possible, so as to serve as a backup and supply food and grass.

Otherwise, they have no danger to rely on, and the Chang'an army will be overwhelmed, and for them, they will lose their geographical advantages.

For Wolong Pass, they are dismissive.

The first war was officially fired.

Tens of millions of cavalry rushed in like a tide, iron hooves trampling on the ground, like spring thunder roaring, war drums bursting, deafening.

Hua Qianshu stood on top of the wall, holding several flags under his command, facing the cold wind from the north, hunting in Luo skirt, showing up, and being particularly high-spirited.

Behind him is the splendid country he and the woman are sitting on. In front of me, it is the jackal, tiger and leopard staring at the splendid Chang'an.

She had no timidity, only full of pride, and vigorously lowered the flag in her hand.

For a while, countless bows and crossbows and boulders roared towards the Xiliang people.

After her improved bow and crossbow, countless stray arrows were separated in mid-air, dense like locusts, and flew towards the Xiliang army overwhelmingly.

The boulder fell to the ground, and the powerful attack force smashed countless pits in the ground, the war horse neighed in terror, and the soldiers messed up.

This was a bit unexpected by the Xiliang people, the first temptation, except for Gu Mozhi's drumming that frustrated them, they directly attacked under the city wall like a bamboo. This time, far out of range, they were hit head-on before they could make a move.

The neat and majestic formation came to a standstill. The vanguard officer waved the battle flag in his hand and was furious.

This time they came prepared, and they all stuffed their ears with cloth balls, so that they could not hear the sound of command and war drums, and could only attack with the command flag in the hands of the main general.

Hua Qianshu smiled slightly, and calmly pointed a flag in his hand in that direction.

Boulders flew over in a dense manner, and battle flags fell.

The attacking team was in chaos for a while, and could only temporarily retreat outside the safe position to discuss countermeasures.

Xiliang tried several attacks in succession and changed his tactics many times, all of which ended in failure. Troops had to be temporarily withdrawn.

The first battle was won, and Chang'an did not spend a single soldier, which immediately boosted the morale of Chang'an's army, and the panic mood of the people in Wolong Pass gradually stabilized.

Hanachiki was able to take a short breather. But she understands that this time Xiliang's defeat is just because of the light enemy, and when they come back, they must be prepared, and she doesn't have such good luck.
