Is that the fire gun of the Han people? I don't think that's it. Hu Dutong Akay looked at the soldiers holding the "iron rod" at the head of the city, and the smoke that rose from the "iron rod" from time to time, and sneered.

Indeed, these firearms have a much longer range than bows and arrows, and can even easily penetrate leather armor, but the hit rate is too poor, and it takes a few hundred rounds to hit dozens of people.

And every time you finish playing, you have to wait for a while before you can play the second round.

If these musketeers were not standing on the high top of the city, but on the flat ground, a quick charge of two or three thousand cavalry would be enough to wipe them all out, and there would be no cause for concern. It seems that His Highness is still too careful.

"Dutong, the lethality of the Han people's fire gun is not low, should we let the archers retreat first?" Akay's lieutenant asked.

Although Akay was dismissive of the firebolt, in the eyes of others, it had killed and wounded hundreds of archers, and its power was unusual.

"Well, after all, it's just a show, there's no need to let our warriors die in vain.

Let's fight here today and give the order to collect the troops. ”

"Yes, Totong."

As the horn sounded rhythmically, the Hu archers retreated, and even the Hu soldiers who were responsible for guarding the ladder also evacuated the battlefield one after another, leaving only the corpses of the Han people all over the ground.

Today's battle alone has killed and injured tens of thousands of people, most of whom are Han Chinese who are regarded as substitutes for the dead.

For these dead and wounded Han people, the Hu people only took away the movable ones, and the injured ones who could not move were thrown on the battlefield like ordinary corpses without looking at them, leaving them to fend for themselves.

In the end, only about 3,000 people were able to return to the camp.

The Hu did not bandage the wounded, but sent them back to their families to bandage their wounds.

As soon as these men who escaped death saw their relatives, the whole family couldn't help but hug each other and cry.

On the other hand, on the Wei army's side, when they saw that the Hu people had withdrawn their troops, all the soldiers in Wanzhou City cheered.

Xie Yuheng and Xie Changfeng, father and son, were even more excited and full of spirit.

They unanimously agreed that the reason why the Hu people did not fight was because they saw the power of the firearms, so they had to withdraw their troops.

Not only did the father and son think so, but other generals also came over to praise and congratulate the mightiness of the firecracker, which made the father and son laugh even more.

"It's not in vain that my Xie family did their best to develop this batch of firearms, as long as these firecrackers are there, Hu Renhu will succeed." Afterwards, when inspecting the battlefield, Xie Yuheng said to his son Xie Changfeng and nephew Xie Changping quite proudly.

Xie Changping rushed and said, "Uncle, or we will take advantage of the victory to pursue and directly send troops out to fight them."

Even if there are ambushes, we have a firecracker array in hand, and where will the Hu people be our opponents. ”

Xie Yuheng smiled and said, "Changfeng, you tell your brother why we can't do this."

If he doesn't make it clear, he won't give up. ”

"Yes, father."

Xie Changfeng turned his head to his cousin Xie Changping and said, "Ah Ping, it's not that we don't want to do this, it's that the risk is too great.

Although this firearm array is extremely powerful in a head-to-head confrontation, it has a great weakness, that is, it is difficult to turn.

Once the Hu people launch a sneak attack from the flank or rear, it will be too late for us to change formation, and it is likely that the Hu people will rush and disperse.

When the formation is messed up, it will be difficult to say whether the outcome will be lost. ”

"If that's the case, then can we also use this trick when we attack the Shangning family's fire array in the future?"

Before Xie Changfeng could answer, Xie Yuheng laughed heartily and said, "Okay, it is worthy of being a descendant of my Xie family, and none of them are stupid people." If you think about it, it means that you have come a long way. ”

Xie Changping said with joy: "Thank you uncle for the compliment." It would be nice to know that the other Hu people were ambushing there, so that we could prepare in advance. ”

"Don't worry, after a few days they see that this refueling tactic is ineffective, they will naturally show up.

The Hu people were good at mounted archery, and they were almost invincible when fighting on flat ground.

Therefore, we must not fight the weak against the strong, but make full use of the advantages of the walls and firearms to force them until they retreat.

For the hundreds of thousands of Hu people who occupy the south, these thousands of firecrackers can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket, and they cannot form a real threat to them.

But as long as it drags on for a few more years, when we have tens of thousands of firearms in our hands, not to mention the Hu people at that time, even the Ning family will not be afraid.

No matter how many craftsmen there are in the Ning family, are there many of our Xie family?

That alone gives us a solid chance of winning. ”

"The uncle is wise, and the little nephew admires it."

"In the future, you will assist your brother well, and I will not treat you badly."

"Yes, uncle."

Although Xie Changfeng, who was standing on the side, did not make a sound, he was already extremely excited in his heart.

Not only did his father hand over the fire battalion to him to command, but now he also asked his cousin Xie Changping to assist him, and the meaning of this is self-evident.

The day has finally come when he will become the heir!

……………………

At this time, in the camp where the Hu army was encamped, the commander of the Hu army, Akayi, looked at the towering city wall in front of him and asked the adjutant beside him, "Are there any signs of opening the other city gates?" ”

The adjutant replied: "I didn't find any abnormal movements, it seems that the Han people really don't dare to open the door casually to fight." ”

Akay was silent for a moment, then let out a long sigh and said, "I really let that Han military advisor guess correctly, he said that as long as we put on a posture of determined to attack the city, with Xie Yuheng's suspicious character, we will definitely think that we have ambushes behind us and dare not easily go out of the city to fight."

Although the man was suspicious, he was indeed extremely accurate, almost like a monster.

Let such a person stay by His Royal Highness's side, I really don't know if it is a curse or a blessing. ”

"Dutong suspects that the Han military advisor is a spy?"

"No, he doesn't look like a spy.

Thanks to his various schemes, now our Great Turkic army has not only taken the northwest and the entire southern region, but even the fertile land south of the Yangtze River is about to be obtained.

If it was really a spy, it would never have been possible to do this.

But I always felt that that man had an unknown purpose, and he was definitely not sincere in wanting to help us capture Dawei.

As for his purpose, I can't figure out for a moment.

But in any case, it seems to me that such a Han man of unknown origin and unclear intentions not only stayed by His Highness's side, but was deeply trusted by His Highness, which is definitely not a good thing in my opinion.

If it weren't for the fear of angering His Highness, I would really want to kill him with a knife to prevent future troubles. ”

"Why don't we find an opportunity to send someone to assassinate him?"

"No, that man is very cunning, he is protected by guards when he enters and leaves, and he is deeply respected by His Highness.

If we miss, we are likely to be burned.

And in any case, that man is indeed a rare talent, and we owe most of our success to him.

Even if we really want to deal with him, we will have to wait until we take Jiangnan.

Don't mention this matter in the future, the most important thing for us now is to play this scene well.

You should always be vigilant about the movements of the Han Chinese, and if you find something wrong, you must report it quickly and be ready to evacuate at any time.

It doesn't matter what those Han civilians do, our men and horses must not be lost here. ”

"Yes, Totong."

"Next, it's up to that person to see how his next move goes." Akayi stared thoughtfully at the tall Wanzhou City in front of him.
