Chapter 259: Westward Expansion (5)
After listening to Han Sui's words, Yan Xing felt a little incredible, he looked at Han Sui and then asked, "Lord, don't you still believe Mr. Wenhe!" I also suspect that he is a lobbyist sent by Cao Xing! ”
A sneer appeared at the corner of Han Sui's mouth, touched his beard, and then replied: "Knowing people and knowing faces but not hearts, this Jia Xu, I have heard more or less before, I only know that he is a strategist under Li Ru's account, and the others are not very prominent, and now I don't know what is going on, and I ran to Cao Xing's men on an errand again, but no matter what, I have to be on the safe side!" ”
Now that this Jia Xu has come to our barracks, he is entertained with good food and drink, and let him confide in something useful to us, as for whether he is sincere or not, we will talk about it when we return after winning the battle.
When Yan Xing heard this, he seemed to want to say something more, but Han Sui waved his hand and asked him not to ask so much to do it, Yan Xing had no choice, and finally nodded and agreed, and the next morning, Yan Xing followed what Han Sui told him, first carried out a tentative attack on Cao Xing, but Cao Xing personally stood on the head of the city and organized soldiers to counterattack, and the counterattack was so strong that Yan Xing's three charges ended in failure.
The casualties in front were quite heavy, Yan Xing had no choice but to let all his men withdraw back, and back in the barracks, he remembered Han Sui's explanation, so he immediately went to find Jia Xu.
And Jia Xu was sitting in the military tent at all times, leisurely drinking tea, watching Yan Xing come in with a smiling face, he just raised his head slightly, and didn't say anything at all.
Yan Xing could only smile wryly, and then continued to use his smiling face to keep saying some words of praise and some good words in order to ask for Jia Xu's response, however, in the face of these words, Jia Xu seemed unfazed.
As a result, Yan Xing kept talking from the afternoon to the afternoon, and it was not until dusk that Jia Xu glanced up at him, showed a satisfied smile, and then said: "Okay, little general, although you put your sword under my neck yesterday, it may only be an inch away from my life, but I don't blame you now!" ”
When Yan Xing heard this, he complained with all his heart, after a long time this Jia Xu held a grudge like this, wasn't he helpless?
But then Jia Xu said: "I can also see that the little general should be sincere in seeking advice, I have been in Cao Xing's military camp for so long, I still learned some techniques, now I will teach you a little!" ”
And Yan Xing was full of joy when he heard this, and quickly nodded, Jia Xu also smiled and took Yan Xing to the outside of the barracks.
Jia Xu and the others first came to a farmland on the outskirts, where a few wooden houses were scattered, and there were some dry fields in front of them, and many crops in the fields had withered in this cold winter, perhaps for these farmers, this cold winter was destined to be difficult.
Seeing this, Jia Xu shook the feather fan lightly, pointed to the field in front of him, and then said to Yan Xing beside him: "Little general, if I say that if this farmland is taken care of by Cao Xing, Cao Xuan will definitely not let these dealers wither and die in winter, do you believe it!" ”
Yan Xing didn't hesitate, he shook his head directly, everything withers in winter, this is originally common sense, he Cao Xing can't change spells, and he can make these plants not wither and die in winter.
And Jia Xu smiled when he saw this, and then said again: "Okay, since the little general doesn't believe it, then today I will teach you what is called greenhouse farming!" ”
Jia Xu simulated a model for Yan Xing, Yan Xing after listening to this theory, and combined with some practice, I feel that this thing is really useful, Jia Xu has been giving Yan Xing a lesson for three days, Yan Xing feels quite rewarded, and finally Yan Xing told Han Sui about Jia Xu's greenhouse farming skills, Han Sui couldn't help frowning after hearing this, and didn't say anything, but he asked Yan Xing to continue to stare at Jia Xu, and nothing could go wrong.
When Yan Xing went to find Jia Xu again, Jia Xu laughed twice, and then said: "General Yan Xing, do you know that in Cao Xing's army, whether it is an officer or a soldier, it is all meat!" ”
As soon as Yan Xing heard this, he didn't believe it, Jia Xu told him many examples, Yan Xing gradually tended to believe it, and even in the next few times, Yan Xingxing also mobilized the surrounding generals to come to Jia Xu to listen to the class, anyway, what Jia Xu said seemed to them to be fresh and exciting, and they were able to do practical things, so they were willing to come to Jia Xu.
More than half a month passed, this time Yan Xing and others came to find Jia Xu again, Jia Xu showed a mysterious smile, only to see him touch a delicate thing from his arms, everyone looked at it and found that the thing was actually nothing else, it was the legendary crossbow machine.
Since the fall of the Qin Dynasty, the crossbow machine has rarely appeared in history, but now that Jia Xu has taken it out again, it is naturally an eye-opener for everyone, Jia Xu found a target, stood at a certain distance, and then aimed at the red heart and shot an arrow, the accuracy rate was quite high, and the generals around him couldn't help but applaud.
Even Yan Xing and others came up to ask Jia Xu how to make this thing, after all, the lethality of such a thing as a crossbow machine is too great, and Jia Xu began to explain the structure of the crossbow machine to them with a smile, but then again, Jia Xu did take out the deadly weapon of the crossbow machine in Cao Xing's army, but the crossbow machine in Jia Xu's hand can be regarded as the first generation of crossbow machine.
That is, the first batch of crossbow machines made by Cao Xing, this kind of crossbow machine may only be regarded as a semi-finished product, with a range of only twenty paces, and the power is definitely not as good as the one used in Cao Xing's army.
When Jia Xu was teaching, suddenly Jia Xu found that there seemed to be something wrong, Jia Xu looked back and found that at some point, Han Sui was already standing at the door, looking at everyone expressionlessly, and Yan Xing and the others seemed to have finally discovered Han Sui's arrival, and immediately stopped the discussion one by one, and their expressions became respectful.
And Han Sui walked in with someone, he glanced at the crossbow machine in Jia Xu's hand and didn't speak, and Yan Xing and the others were just about to step forward to tell Han Sui with great interest, they found something new, but Han Sui looked at them coldly, and directly scared Yan Xing's people into not daring to speak, and then Han Sui's gaze began to become deeper, and he stared at Jia Xu without saying a word.
And Jia Xu looked at Han Sui's appearance, and didn't speak, just smiled and nodded at Han Sui, and after a while, the corners of Han Sui's mouth also pulled out a smile, he didn't say anything, just looked at Yan Xing and the others and said: "Now that more than half a month has passed, we can't continue to spend here, Yan Xing, you go back quickly and prepare, tomorrow I will prepare for the army to assemble, and attack Cao Xing's people at one time and expel them from this land!" ”
As soon as Yan Xing and the others heard this, their expressions immediately became awe-inspiring, and they finally remembered the ultimate purpose of their coming here, which was to beat Cao Xing away, but now that such a long time has passed, it is really a little undeserved.
Why did Han Sui and others spend so long and were unable to break through Cao Xu's barriers, the reason is also very simple, first of all, because of Jia Xu's surrender, Han Sui was suspicious, he didn't fully believe Jia Xu, nor did he completely disbelieve Jia Xu, he asked Yan Xing and others to test first, but Yan Xing and others, as soon as they were tempted, they gradually became fascinated by Jia Xu's explanation, Jia Xu is a teacher, and his lectures are very vivid and beautiful, which has attracted them.
Secondly, Han Sui actually sent troops to attack Cao Xing's camp every day for most of the month, and the result was just as Jia Xu expected, Cao Xing's camp had many weapons and advanced equipment, and he could repel his attack every time, plus Han Sui was a little uncertain, Cao Xing's camp was loyal, how many troops did he have at this moment? Whether their reinforcements had arrived, therefore, Han Sui did not dare to assemble a large army.
But now that the time has dragged on for so long, Han Sui doesn't want to care about it so much, no matter what, he has to attack Cao Xing's battalion.
However, before leaving, Han Sui still had a deep meaning, and glanced at Jia Xu, who continued his calm look, as if nothing was his business.
In this way, in the early morning of the next day, a fierce attack was launched directly on Cao Xing's camp, and the entire 40,000 troops were all thrown out by Han Sui and attacked Cao Xing's camp together.
And this time the battle was still commanded by Han Sui himself, he stood at the rear of the military formation, constantly waving the command flag, and gave orders to the flag bearers on both sides, the flag bearer was standing on a high place and constantly waving the flag in his hand, and the generals who charged in front saw the flag in the hands of the flag bearer, and knew how to operate.
And just like that, a terrible battle began. Although Cao Xing and the others resisted desperately, and all the weapons that could be used were used, they were still unsatisfactory, after all, the number of people on the other side was too large. And the casualties on Cao Xing's side also soared sharply, of course, it may not be much better on the other side, but Han Sui's men and horses have always maintained an advantage.
So they toiled for half a day until night. Han Sui stood in the back and was sweating profusely, but at this moment his eyes were blazing, after such a long time of fighting, even if Cao Xuan and they had advanced weapons and high combat power, but after all, they were about to be taken by him, maybe it would only take a quarter of an hour or half an hour, he could directly destroy Cao Xing's camp, and then Cao Xing's soldiers and horses would not be afraid.
Seeing this, Han Sui let out a killing roar again, and countless soldiers charged forward, but at this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves rolling on his right.
