Su Ren stood in front of the door and stretched out, there was a lot of commotion outside last night, the shouts and screams were miserable, but Su Ren slept very comfortably. Taking advantage of the time when Su Ren washed his face and brushed his teeth, Han Qing came in to report some of the battle situation. Although the Huns rushed fiercely, it seemed to be very imposing, but they did not send any powerful troops, just wave after wave of slaves to test and consume, it is said that the corpses under the city have been piled up a foot high for freedom, if the Huns continue to do this today, at night there is no need for any cloud ladders and other things, and the horses can go up the city wall.

"Where did the Huns get so many slaves?" Su Ren asked while rinsing his mouth.

Han Qing sighed: "The Huns want to come and wash and plunder, whether it is themselves or our Han people, or the nearby Wuhuan, Xianbei, or Goguryeo further away, they are all the targets of the Huns' plunder, so to speak, the Huns have almost as many slaves as there are livestock." ”

"Hey! Iniquity! Su Ren also sighed: "Are you still fighting?" I want to hear it stop? ”

"It did stop, it stopped at dawn, and I guess their slaves were almost gone."

"Then in your opinion as a child of a family of the art of war, what will the Huns do today?"

Han Qing thought for a while: "Such a huge consumption, even if there are more slaves of the Huns, they can't withstand it, it should stop a little today, if they haven't retreated, it means that within three days at the latest, the real Hun army will come over." ”

"Then we have to clean up the corpses as soon as possible, it's now spring, and the corpses have been left in the wilderness for too long, which is easy to provoke the plague, which is very important." Su Ren thought for a moment: "Let Lei be sent someone to transport fire oil to the city, and burn those corpses, there must be no plague, our 80,000 troops are all here." ”

"No, I'll do it!" Han Qinggang turned around and seemed to remember something, and hurriedly turned around: "By the way, the king of Juntun of the Huns put the king's tent in Mayi, and now it can be said that the Huns have taken Mayi, and the scouts are returning, and the king of Juntun also learned from Mr. to recruit merchants, and also issued a notice, saying that as long as the merchants who go to Mayi, he will use the name of Changshengtian to guarantee their safety, even if it is us Han." ”

"Hehe, this guy is really interesting, isn't he afraid of meticulous work?"

Han Qing smiled: "The Huns don't have this statement, do you want me to send someone in." ”

Su Ren waved his hand: "No need, people have already come under our noses, and it is the same whether they are sent or not, as long as they are closely monitored." ”

Su Ren's breakfast is very simple, rice porridge, steamed buns, and pickles are the most suitable for his appetite. These things were all made by the people he brought from Chang'an, and now he is the general of the Eastern Route Army, his identity and status are different, and it is a bit pretentious to talk nonsense about sharing weal and woe with soldiers. While he was eating, Mo Yu came again with the Hun child he had picked up from the battlefield.

This Hun child is very strange, since he was brought back, he first nursed his injuries in the medical officer's place for half a month, and when he was able to go to the ground, he always followed Mo Yu, and he was very obedient, never cried or made trouble, completely different from sixteen or seventeen-year-old children. Not to mention, this kid is really good-looking, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, if it weren't for the curly hair on his head, no one would think he was a foreigner.

Su Ren knew that the child's name was Tuntou, but Mo Yu stubbornly gave the child another name of Mo Yun, which shows that Mo Yu is preparing to accept apprentices. Su Ren didn't feel anything wrong with this, but hoped that Tuntou would agree, and the Mo family must have no place in Dahan, and it would not hurt them to go to other remote places.

grabbed a bun and handed it to Mo Yun, who didn't turn his head to look at Mo Yu. Mo Yu nodded, Mo Yun took it and gave Su Ren a salute, and then shrank behind Mo Yu and ate slowly.

Su Ren pointed to the seat opposite him and asked Mo Yu, "Do you want to come too?" Do you want me to invite you? ”

Mo Yu smiled slightly and waved his hand: "I came here today to tell you something, Mo Yun's mother and a few younger siblings are still on the grassland, I am going to bring someone to pick them up, and I need to get some armaments from you." ”

"Okay? How much? Su Ren replied while eating, making a snoring sound of eating, and just listening to the sound felt that the food was very delicious.

"It doesn't take much, and it won't take long."

"Okay, if you need to go directly to Li Cheng, just say I agree!" Suddenly, Su Ren stopped eating: "However, you can't bring thunder bombs!" You know the rules. ”

Mo Yu nodded: "Understood!" Mo Yun stood up and gave Su Ren a big salute, and then followed Mo Yu out of the door.

Huang Shisan kept watching Mo Yu walk away with Mo Yun, waiting for Su Ren to finish eating, and said while cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks: "Why is this kid a Huns, why is Mo Gongzi so good to him?" Could it be that there is something ...... about Young Master Mo?"

Su Ren was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Then I don't know, next time I see Mo Yu, I'll ask for you, hahaha...... when will you tell jokes, hahaha......"

Pleasant times always pass quickly, and when a fire breaks out outside the city, there is no way to treat people inside Yanmen Pass. Su Ren still underestimated the number of corpses, and the thick scorching stench and billowing smoke almost covered the entire Yanmen Pass. Both the soldiers at the head of the city and the horses in the pen sneezed, hoping to stay away from the smoke and flames.

Su Ren covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water, and climbed up the city wall, which had been burned red, with an extremely high temperature, and the people who roasted it could not get close at all. The smell here is the strongest, and I feel like I want to vomit just after taking a puff. Before he could climb to the top of the city, Su Ren had already turned around and walked down: "Go and ask Li Cheng to prepare some quicklime, and sprinkle it immediately after the fire is extinguished, the thicker the better, so that the plague can be effectively prepared, and it should also be sprinkled in the pass." ”

Just after noon, there was a drizzle in the sky. This is the first rain of spring, marking the official arrival of the season of revival of all things, but unfortunately the burning corpses under the city outside Yanmen Pass are not seen. It was fire again, and rain again, which was different from Han Qing's expectation, and it dragged on for five days, and the Huns did not move at all, which made Han Qing uneasy.

"Sir, why don't you send some people to Mayi? I'm afraid that the Huns have some conspiracy. ”

"What do you say about the law of dry land?"

"There is no news, the fire and rain have cut off the message transmission, and it will not be received until tomorrow at the earliest."

"Then wait, there is no way to send the news back, and the Huns' attack will not come back for a while."

After three more days of waiting, I finally waited for the much-needed news. And very important news, intelligence said that the reason why the Huns did not rush to attack was because the king of Juntun was carrying out a secret plan, and it was related to thunder bombs. This news is very timely, and it shows at least two problems, one is that the Huns are brewing a storm; Second, the thunder bomb has been cracked by the Huns, or there are traitors within the Han army.

The moment he saw the news, Su Ren was taken aback, and hurriedly asked Shi Manzhu to ask. Shi Manzhu assured with great certainty that only he knew the formula of the thunder fire bomb, and even the person in charge of production would only be responsible for one of the links, so naturally it would not be leaked. In addition, the thunder and fire bombs were transported from Chang'an, during which there was a special military escort, the number and time could coincide with each other, and the possibility of theft was not large, if there was a problem, it was also a problem in Chang'an.

Su Ren frowned and thought for a long time, and asked Han Qing, "Is there any news from Luan Da?" ”

Han Qingdao: "It has been confirmed that there may be two Luan Da. ”

"Two Luan? Twin brothers? ”

Han Qing nodded: "According to the warlock we secretly captured, Shao Weng picked up two children back then, and later said that one of them died, leaving only Luan Da, and Shao Weng liked Luan Da very much, so he accepted him as an apprentice, and no one has seen the other child since then, and they all thought they were really dead." ”

"Does Your Majesty know?"

"Yes, I have already sent a message to His Majesty."

Su Ren smiled helplessly: "These warlocks are really ghostly, immediately contact Tiangang Disha, we must find Luan Da who is hiding here, and we must cut it off, this kid is a very threat, and I can't keep it." ”

Thunder bombs, called thunderbolts by the Huns, are things that are filled into an iron ball made of pig iron* and ignited with fire. Although Su Ren's * recipe has been greatly improved under Shi Manzhu's efforts, due to the influence of cast iron technology, the sound of the thunder fire bomb created is huge and the power is very small. Sometimes a thunderbolt is thrown over, and the pig iron ball that explodes is only two halves, and the lethality is not as good as that of a bow and arrow.

The reason why the Xiongnu left battalion suffered so heavy losses was that one was because of the large number of thunder and fire bombs used, and the other was caused by the frightened livestock and horses rushing into the camp. Less than half of the casualties actually died under the thunderbolts. However, since Luan Da provided the Juntun King with the thunder bomb formula, the Juntun King was like a treasure, and after two or three experiments, he immediately decided to look at the production, so he waited so long and did not rush to do it with the Han people.

Finding Luan Da again, King Juntun asked, "How many thunderbolts do we have at present?" ”

"About two hundred, which is not enough to apply for a job with the Han people, as far as I know, Su Ren has thousands of these things in his hands."

King Juntun was a little frustrated: "Then when will it be?" Could it be that we have no way to defeat the Han Chinese? This king has commanded you to produce three hundred more in three days, or else you will ......."

Luan was taken aback, he heard a strong taste of impatience from the tone of King Juntun, and hurriedly agreed.

Three days is not a long time, but it will come soon. Luan Da really took out five hundred thunderbolts, and the king of Juntun was overjoyed, looking at a large black iron ball in front of him, and grinning happily: "With this thing, we don't have to be afraid of anything, we will attack Yanmen early tomorrow morning, this king order, take down Yanmen and indulge for three days!" ”
