When Generals Tuoba Yan, Tuoba Ling, and Khutulu heard the noise, they immediately ran to the hill, and saw that Alem's face was blackened with smoke, and there was some blood on his body and hands. As soon as he saw the Khan coming, he fell to his knees weeping bitterly, and kept saying, "Khan, kill me, kill me." ”

"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Tuoba Yan was stunned when he saw the soldiers of the firearms battalion wailing.

"Squib...... Suddenly it exploded. Alem wiped his tears and said breathlessly, "It's my fault that I forgot to deal with the squib and killed my brothers." ”

It turned out that after the first squib did not go off, Alam led everyone to move the ambush and launch the second artillery. But then the victory carried everyone away, and Alam did not deal with the first squib in time, which caused the cannon to explode from the chamber, and the soldiers of the firearms battalion were unable to escape, and nearly 100 people were killed.

The only thing that is fortunate is that the first cannon is only now exploding, and not in the middle of the battle.

Tuoba watched this scene in horror, and his heart was fortunate that this was on the hill, not on the city wall. If it is on the city wall, wouldn't it be to blow up a big hole and let the enemy attack directly?

Perhaps, this is the reason why Nanchu has been slow to use artillery.

"That's it, get up, I don't blame you." Tuoba Yan gave Alem a handful of help, "It was I who was in a hurry to let the untrained firearms battalion go to the battlefield." ”

The great master said: "Alem, count the casualties first, and then check how much firearms have been lost." ”

"Yes." Alem wiped his tears and stood up.

In the evening, Al-Mu came to report the results of the statistics, fifty-two wounded and thirty-five dead. Had it not been for the fact that many soldiers fell to the ground during the explosion, the number of casualties would have been much higher.

As for the loss of firearms, one artillery piece was scrapped, and more than fifty arrows were ignited by the fire and turned to ashes.

After listening to these bad news, the great master frowned, and really didn't know what to say.

Khan closed his eyes tiredly and waved his hand, "Got it, let's go down." ”

"Firearms Battalion...... It's useless. Tuoba said disheartenedly.

The great master said indignantly: "Khan, we may not be able to make artillery, but we must make our own * arrows, otherwise the arrows will be used less and less, and there will be a day when they run out." ”

"Okay, if we Qingyun can escape this catastrophe, I will let you make it. Even if Qin Luo objected again, I wouldn't care about it. ”

It's just that...... The Chishui Ministry is eyeing each other, and none of them knows if Qingyun can survive this difficulty.

The defenders of the Zhanlu steppe led by Jili Kalang could no longer be counted on. Qingyun Iron Guard may be able to hold on for a while, but it won't be delayed for a few days. Tuoba Yan had to pin his hopes on Qin Luo again, not knowing if he could save Qingyun this time.

However, Qin Luo and Uncle Ze Anji, with more than a dozen soldiers, were still walking through the Baroming Desert. Tuoba Yan didn't give Qin Luo much protection this time, after all, the Qingyun Department was difficult to protect itself, and there were no troops to escort Qin Luo. The entire mission seemed to be weak, and it did not have the momentum of the original envoy Chishui.

Ze Anji asked, "Lord Qin, what are your chances of winning this negotiation?" ”

"Hardly." Qin Luo smiled bitterly, "I can only try my best, if it doesn't work out, it depends on the will of God." ”

Ze Anji was a little stunned, "God...... Providence? This time, even Lord Qin is not sure? ”

"Qingyun had a chance to turn over. It's a pity that people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, and they die by themselves, who can blame them? ”

Qin Luo said in his heart If it weren't for the great master who caught Craftsman Zou and them, he would not have made such a big move on the grassland, how could the Chishui Ministry know. Now that Da Chu and Qingyun are facing war, with the timid and fearful character of the imperial court, the alliance with the Qingyun Department will definitely be cold. Qin Luo's good layout was ruined because of the greed of the great power teacher.

Lack of success, more than failure. Especially after Tuoba Ling became a great teacher, he was even more domineering and arrogant. Qin Luo now hated Tuoba Ling even more.

In the Golden Palace, Ye Leyi received the Flying Eagle Messenger from Xiao Budian, and her hands trembled slightly. The eagle flies thousands of miles, and if it weren't for an emergency, she and her father wouldn't use the little ones to send the message. It can be seen that the battle ahead is not good!

Ye Leyi quickly opened the letter, which was written by her father, informing her that the Qingyun Department had artillery, which was powerful and could not be approached. Yel Khan did not know about firearms, so he wrote to inquire.

"Artillery ......" Ye Leyi had to admire Qin Luo, he was able to talk about Nanchu and get these things. is not afraid of Tuoba's lack of greed and backlash against the Central Plains.

Yereyi still has some knowledge of firearms. I heard that it is very similar to the firecrackers set off during the Chinese New Year in the Central Plains, but it is a hundred times more powerful. Ye Leyi unfolded a blank piece of paper, picked up a pen and wrote slowly: This object has a long range and a large explosion range, and my father should be careful that they attack the camp. However, the artillery was heavy and could not be moved, so my father should use movement to control the stillness and fight quickly.

Ye Leyi put down his pen and sat quietly for a while, then suddenly remembered something, and continued to write: Nanchu has not put firearms into the war for the time being, which shows that it has disadvantages and advantages, and his father does not need to worry too much. You can send spies to find out how many artillery pieces Qingyun has. If it can be destroyed, it will be very fortunate!

After writing, Yereyi sealed the letter into a small tube, tied it to the talon of the eagle, and sent the little one out of the window. Watching the little dot gradually fly away, until it really became a small dot in the sky, Yereyi withdrew his gaze.

Ye Leyi touched her stomach and thought: Qin Luo, Qin Luo, since you are a middleman of Southern Chu, why are you so concerned about Qingyun's affairs?

People's hearts are long, Tuoba Yan and Qin Luo Junchen have been for many years, and they have a teacher-student friendship. Qin Luo is very sincere and fake about Tuoba Yan, I'm afraid even he can't figure it out.

When Qin Luo came to the Baisha Department again, King Wei Mu Great Khan had already heard that Qingyun and Chishui were fighting. He had been torn between the two tribes. When the two tribes fought with real swords and guns, King Wei Mu Khan was so frightened that he hid in the rear, and even Qin Luo didn't want to see him.

After hearing the refusal of the guards of the Baisha Tribe, Qin Luo was not surprised. He instructed Zeanji: "Find a place to camp nearby, and we will wait here." ”

"You ...... like this," the guards were a little embarrassed.

"How?" Qin Luo asked, "The Great Khan Wang Guang said that he couldn't see me, didn't he say that he would drive me away, right?" ”

"Not really." The guards stopped holding them back.

Ze Anji followed the guards to set up the tent, he was uneasy in his heart, and when he saw that Qin Luo was fine, he leaned over and asked, "Are we okay like this, King Weimu Khan won't send someone to demolish our tent and drive us away, right?" ”

"What are you afraid of?" Qin Luo smiled, "He didn't dare to drive us away." Now Qingyun and Chishui have not yet decided the winner, and he is still waiting. ”

"Wait-and-see?" Ze Anji said depressedly, "How long will he have to wait and see." By then, when the battle is over, what use will he have? ”

King Wei Mu Great Khan didn't see the messenger from Qingyun at all, wasn't his attitude obvious enough? Qin Luo glanced at Ze Anji in disbelief, "Uncle, you don't really expect the Baisha Department to come to the rescue, right?" They are too busy to take care of themselves, and it would be good if they didn't fall into the ground. ”

"So...... Lord Qin, you are not here to ask for help, but to stare at them and not to stab them in the back? Zeanji was shocked.

"Some people have to be guarded against." Qin Luo said. It's a pity that he can only say this to Ze Anji, but he Khan can't say it. He had no choice but to use the excuse of asking for help to give Tuoba Yan a void comfort.
