I was really afraid of something, the reason why Chen Mu wanted to leave early was because he was worried that the lame man would cause a war in advance. Sure enough, the cripple rushed to the town of Uzi as fast as he could, and then attacked the barbarians with lightning speed. The two cannons were placed at the front as a rushing cart, and the gates of the city were shattered with two cannon shots. It is said that at that time, the barbarian kings were stupid.

Hearing that the Liang army was coming to support Ma Zun, the Tuban King had already retreated to the defense of the city, arranged a large number of materials to defend the city, and claimed that the four gates were closed and could fight against the Liang army for three years. All their defenses were built around the walls and gates. Now that the gates have collapsed, all defenses are insignificant. Even in the cave of the city gate, there were many stones, oil, and firebolts.

The two cannon shots did not hurt a few barbarian soldiers, but they broke their psychological defenses. After breaking the city gate, the cripple did not let his soldiers charge, but let Ma Zun go first. Ma Zun had more than 10,000 leather armored infantry and more than 4,000 light cavalry. A day and a night of fierce fighting around the broken gates.

Both sides are exhausted.

Early the next morning, the lame man led his 1,000 ironclad infantry and began to charge. The ironclad soldiers rushed up, like chopping melons and vegetables, and a torrent rushed into the city. After entering the city, it was found that the barbarians did not accept the indoctrination, especially the barbarian royal family, who resisted stubbornly and carried it to the end. The lame man ordered, and if he resisted again, the royal family would be wiped out. But the barbarian king still held on to the palace, and shrank the remaining 8,000 people into the palace.

"Hit incendiary bombs with cannons! Burn me! ”

The incendiary bomb was also invented by Chen Mu, and the structure is relatively complex, with three chambers inside the shell, which are respectively filled with explosives, fire oil, and pine oil, and the warhead is equipped with a fuse. After the shell is excited, it falls around the target, and the fuse is triggered by the impact, generating a huge amount of heat, causing the explosives to explode, and the explosion causes the burning oil and pine oil to collapse everywhere, and instantly a sea of fire.

Fire oil is characterized by being easily ignited, while pine oil is characterized by long-lasting burning. After this incendiary bomb entered the palace, the palace was quickly in chaos. Ma Zun was already red-eyed, and rushed into the palace with his troops, slashing and killing indiscriminately. In this battle, the lame man and Ma Zun cooperated and almost uprooted the barbarian royal family, killing more than 3,700 royal families and nobles in total, and capturing countless people, slaves and horses.

After receiving the news, Chen Mu was overjoyed and surprised, and hurriedly wrote to Zhang Youtian, asking the Second Brigade not to kill excessively.

The lame man replied: It's too late. Whoever can be killed, he has been killed. But I didn't do it, it was your Akamazun, and it has nothing to do with me. However, I took the opportunity to expand my army, and now I have 6,800 soldiers and 5,000 horses.

"This crippled man, I really can't just let him go." Chen Mu sighed: "When others fight, the more they fight, the fewer they fight, and the more they fight, the more they fight, the more they fight." If this momentum continues, I don't think I need to send troops myself. ”

After thinking about it, I quickly took back this stupid idea. If he doesn't send troops, the lame man will slowly grow, and when he is big enough to a certain extent, it will be difficult to control. Is it possible to imitate Yongzheng's treatment of Nian Qianyao? Or imitate Sima Zhao and send Zhong Hui and Deng Ai to contain each other? Obviously, Chen Mu didn't like it. If you want to stabilize your military power, you can only imitate Zhu Di, the king of Yan, and personally lead the troops.

"You want to be big, no way." Chen Mu suddenly said to himself: "The soldiers you recruited are all mine." ”

Chen Mu suddenly said two words nervously, and the people in the room were blinded. However, Hanxiang soon sensed that the situation was not good and was slightly worried.

Chen Mu decided to leave today. I don't need anyone to send it.

Zhang Han led the General's Guards and the Third Brigade, a total of 3,600 people, all equipped with iron armor, of which 1,000 were Xuanjia Army iron armor, and the rest of the troops were fish scale chain heart guard armor designed by Chen Mu. Eight hundred cavalry.

Thousands of people walked through the snow, looking back, Dunhuang City was far away.

It seems that I can still see the girl in the city, looking forward to it.

Chen Mu Void beckoned.

Zhang Han turned his head and looked, confused for a while, but didn't say anything.

——

After a long journey, I arrived in the city of Swap in mid-December. When passing by Wuzi Town during the period, Chen Mu felt a burst of emotion in his heart. Judging by the size of the city and the location of the ground, Uzi Town is indeed a good place. It is no wonder that several dynasties in the past have set up the capital here.

After many dynasties, the town of Uzi has a good foundation, with plenty of water and a large area of crops. Especially cotton, which is one of the materials that Chen Mu needs most.

It's a pity that the Aziman people are not good at repairing and maintaining the city wall facilities. The heart looks a little dilapidated here. Chen Mu has decided that Wuzi Town will be his second development city, and replace Dunhuang as his most important base.

This will also be the capital of the country of Anxi.

As for the original owner here, Ma Zun, he can only be aggrieved. If he is unwilling to squeeze into the same city with Chen Mu and Zhang Yunlong, he will give him the exchange city and let him be the transfer city lord. After all, there are many people who would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail.

There was nothing to say all the way, and the troops came to the city of Diaochang, where Chen Mu inspected the participating troops and delivered an enthusiastic speech. But at the end of the speech, he took the lame's newly recruited soldiers for himself. The cripple didn't raise any objections, perhaps he had expected this.

Chen Mu convened a meeting of officers above the centurion level, at which he said:

"The composition of these recruits is complex, and some even have descendants of the barbarian royal family. Managing them is a conundrum. In order to build up combat effectiveness as soon as possible, I want to be more strict with them. At the same time, a clearer promotion system will be established. Let them see the hope of upliftment. ”

Chen Mu changed his words and said to Ma Zun: "My original plan was to set off in February next year, and by that time, the soldiers lent to me by Zhang Yunlong and Kong Xiaoxian would rush to Wuzi Town one after another. When they come, it is very likely that they will discuss with you the establishment of the Anxi Protectorate in the town of Uzi, and if you are not satisfied with anything, do not tell them, but talk to me. I'll do my best to fight for your interests. However, you don't think about resisting, or you won't end up better than the Barbarian King. ”

Hearing this, Ma Zun saw sweat on his forehead, and didn't say anything at the time, and after everyone retreated, Ma Zuncai said: "Chen Mu Aka, you won't unload the mill and kill the donkey, right?" ”

Chen Mu laughed and said, "Don't worry, as long as I am here, I guarantee that you will be the king." And it's hereditary. But the power in your hands will inevitably be curtailed. ”

Ma Zun nodded: "As long as I can guarantee that I am still the king, it will be done." I also understand the system of your Liang Dynasty, and many kings have no real power. Although the loss of power makes me unhappy. But...... What can be done? I can't beat the girder. ”

Chen Mu said: "Those who know the times are Junjie. ”
