Volume 4: Iron General Huo Xiaotian Chapter 90: Thunderbolt Hall
Shangguan Zhongzhi said: "I understand, what my father really cares about is actually the Lei Family Mountain where their thunderbolt hall is located. You must know that the topography of that Leijia Mountain is also similar to that of the Huo family's Yungu Mountain, and it is an extremely important strategic location. ”
Shangguan Qingyun said: "Yes, the fourth child is really to the point, the strategic location of that Lei Jia Mountain is indeed very important. To tell the truth, if it weren't for the location of this Leijia Mountain, the intersection of the three counties of Qinan County, Chudong County and Wuyue County, it is related to the delicate relationship between us and the evil gods of the East China Sea. Otherwise, whether it is Zhao Jin, the king of Chu, or the old man, we would have destroyed their Jiangnan Thunderbolt Hall in one fell swoop, how could we let them make trouble like this until now, and they are still showing off their power in the area of Leijia Mountain. ”
Lu Weixin said: "I see, don't say it, my subordinates really underestimated them Jiangnan Thunderbolt Hall earlier." In this case, in the next step, I really have to take advantage of that Zhuo Yifan's matter to start thinking about their Jiangnan Thunderbolt Hall. If the timing is right, I will simply do it in one fell swoop, so as not to be an eyesore there. ”
Shangguan Qingyun, the king of Qi, said: "Okay, so be it." Of course, this matter of Lei Jiashan, for now, is naturally a later story. Now, your first task is the matter of Yungu Cottage, and you must properly handle this matter of the Gu Luo Kingdom Mission. As for that Huo Xiaotian, you can do it yourself, I don't think I need to say anything more. ”
Shangguan Zhongzhi said: "Father, don't worry." It's still the old rule, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, we will definitely take him down and let them join us under the command of the Qi Palace. ”
After the big guy came out of the Qi Palace, Shangguan Zhongzhi smiled and said to Lu Weixin beside him: "By the way, Weixin, you guys will work hard to make the situation of Yungu Cottage as detailed as possible." Then I can decide how many troops we should send in three days, according to the situation. ”
Lu Weixin said: "Fourth master, don't worry, when I go back, I will let the third brother of Pearson go on a trip himself." It is estimated that at noon tomorrow, the third brother will be able to bring back some more detailed news. ”
Liu Peisheng said: "Well, I'll leave as soon as I go back, and it will definitely not be a problem at noon tomorrow." After all, we have two rudders in that area, and the situation shouldn't be too much of a problem. ”
Shangguan Zhongzhi said: "This is the best, but after Pearson you go, don't be too eager for quick success." If this really startles the other party and alarms the other party, I am afraid that they will do something drastic, and it will not be easy to do. ”
Liu Peisheng said: "Don't worry, fourth master, I know what to do." Besides, we won't do anything else, this little ability to seek merit but no fault, it must still be extremely skilled, hehehe. ”
On the morning of the next day, just after this hour, Lu Weixin and Liu Peisheng, who were in the dust, rushed to Shangguan Zhongzhi's mansion in a hurry.
Of course, after they arrived, Shangguan Zhongzhi hurriedly sent someone to hand over Shangguan Zhongxin, Du Leng, and Chen Tianshi together.
After everyone arrived, Liu Peisheng first told everyone about the actual harvest of his trip.
It turned out that there were about 10,000 villagers gathered in the area of Yungu Mountain, and it was indeed extremely prosperous in the local area. After all, this is a real "four regardless" zone, and neither farmers nor merchants need to pay any so-called taxes.
It's just that the Yungu cottage also has its own rules, that is, only foreign merchants are allowed to trade freely in that area, but no one is allowed to settle down in that area casually, so as not to be too eye-catching and cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.
In fact, this is also very understandable, the reason why they can be "free" in that area is really under the protection of Emperor Tianwei and Xiahou Zhengjin, the king of Yan.
They are independent and self-governing on weekdays, and there is nothing to trade with merchants, but if they really accept those foreign populations uncontrollably, I am afraid that the officials near them will really be a little unable to sit still.
As for the standing army and horses in their Yungu cottage, there were a total of 800 people, and these people were naturally selected from among their villagers.
Now their family is none other than Huo Xiaotian, who is known as the Iron General, and their old village owner Huo Helun traveled west with a crane a few years ago.
And the "ironclad chariot" mentioned by Lu Weixin earlier really exists, and it is also Huo Xiaotian's exclusive invention, and it is said that there are a total of eighteen so-called ironclad chariots.
Of course, Liu Peisheng's biggest gain this time was to spend a lot of money from an old blacksmith who made bladed ironware for Yungu Cottage all year round, and got some extremely valuable information.
Moreover, this information is precisely about these ironclad chariots.
It turned out that Huo Xiaotian's iron-clad chariot was not what Shangguan Zhongxin had imagined at the beginning, but an extremely peculiar novelty.
Of course, the old blacksmith only knew a little bit about it, and what he knew was not very detailed, but he had seen the power of the "ironclad chariot" with his own eyes.
Because, at that time, when Huo Xiaotian first invented this "ironclad chariot", he had to describe some of his requirements and uses with the old blacksmith.
To put it simply, these iron-clad chariots were actually made up of some sturdy men in iron-clad armor, who were sometimes congregating and sometimes scattering according to some special instructions from Huo Xiaotian anytime and anywhere.
It's just that what is very amazing is that under Huo Xiaotian's special instructions, these people sometimes really form independent chariot shapes.
The most peculiar thing is that once these people have assembled this chariot shape, they can still magically "walk" freely, and even from the outside, it looks like a small closed iron house with four wheels.
In addition, after hearing certain special commands, these people can instantly complete the dismantling of the so-called "chariots" and turn back into samurai in iron armor, which can carry out independent tactical attacks.
It's just a pity that Huo Xiaotian is very cautious, and even this old local blacksmith, he has no way of knowing the so-called working principle of the "ironclad chariot", but he only roughly understands such a meaning.
Hearing this, Shangguan Zhongxin frowned and said, "Not to mention, this kind of magical 'ironclad chariot' tactic, this is really the first time I've heard of it. If that old blacksmith wasn't deliberately exaggerating or talking nonsense, then this Huo Xiaotian was really a peerless genius. ”
Shangguan Zhongzhi said: "Yes, once his 'ironclad chariot' is really used on the battlefield, the power will be really immeasurable." You can imagine that in normal times, he can directly break it into pieces and fight alone. But once he encounters any special situation, he can instantly complete the so-called chariot combination, and suddenly become a large chariot with both offense and defense. ”
Liu Peisheng said: "Moreover, the most amazing thing is that they can also conjure up four wheels, which can move quickly and flexibly. This is even more powerful, this is a miniature castle that can be moved. ”
Shangguan Zhong said: "If this 'ironclad chariot' of theirs really exists, we can boldly assume it. Once they encounter them on the battlefield, unless they retreat quickly and urgently, I'm afraid it's really hard to entangle with him. After all, he is a castle that can be moved flexibly, and the other party will need many times as many people to forcibly compete with them. ”
Chen Tianshi said: "This is also true, after this is really on the battlefield, the so-called magic skills of our martial arts people really can't play a big role, after all, it's all crowd tactics." Unless we really have the ability to sweep thousands of armies like the little overlord Dugu Sword, it really won't play a big role. ”
Lu Weixin said: "Actually, it's not, I think we just don't want to be so jealous of his 'ironclad chariot'." After all, everything is mutually reinforcing, and even if his ironclad chariot is really so magical, it will definitely have its Achilles' heel. ”
