Chapter 425: Fire-breathing monsters

Xue Rengui asked, "What is he talking about?" ”

The interpreter of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said: "He said that they are the people of the second largest country in the world, except for the Kingdom of the Ring of the Sun, they are the second great power, and they are invincible, so let us surrender quickly, otherwise we will all be killed." ”

When Xue Rengui heard this, he was indeed a little worried in his heart. You must know that the Kingdom of the Ring of the Sun has millions of people and more than 200,000 troops, and their second largest country probably has a population of one million and 100,000 troops.

Xue Rengui himself is not afraid, but he is escorting Princess Sheina, if something happens, he will have no way to explain it to the emperor.

He wanted to know about the situation, so he asked: "How many people and how many soldiers and horses do you have, the second largest country in the world?" ”

Jiecheng saw Xue Rengui hesitating, thinking that he was afraid, so he said triumphantly: "I'm afraid to scare you to death if I say it, we will take over the country with 200,000 people, and the soldiers will be ten thousand, and if you know each other, you will surrender obediently, lest we do it." ”

After listening to the translator's words, Xue Rengui and the Tang officers and soldiers couldn't help laughing.

I heard the story of Yelang's arrogance, and thought it was an exaggerated story of the literati, but I didn't expect that there was such a thing. However, they are still a little self-aware compared to Yelang Country, and they do not say that they are the largest country in the world.

In fact, this is very normal, in ancient times, communication was not smooth, news was blocked, even Li Shimin did not know the world very well, and it is not surprising that a small country in the hinterland of South Asia has such an idea.

Xue Rengui asked the translator to talk to the generals who took over the country about the Tang Dynasty, and also to scare them, so that they would not be entangled.

The translator chattered, Xue Rengui thought that they would be afraid to withdraw after hearing this, but they actually laughed. Not only the general was laughing, but his soldiers were laughing too, and some of them were laughing with tears.

It turned out that after listening to the words of the translator, no one believed that there was such a powerful country in the world, and they all thought that he was bragging, so they laughed at him together.

At this time, Xue Rengui was a little worried, although there were not many soldiers and horses under his command, it was still easy to clean up some garbage army. However, his mission was to go to Persia, and he was only passing through this place, so there was no need to clash with them.

At this time, the artillery staff officer beside him said: "General Xue, it's very simple to deal with these barbarians, just let your subordinates bombard him twice." ”

This time, in the ranks of escorting the mission, a staff officer of the artillery department of the General Staff led an artillery squad with two cannons.

Artillery is the most advanced weapon in the world at this time, and the artillerymen want to show off when they have nothing to do, but unfortunately they have never found the opportunity. When this opportunity came, the artillery staff officer hurriedly made this suggestion to Xue Rengui.

Xue Rengui shook his head, he still didn't want to conflict with this successor country. So, he asked the people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to persuade them again and ask them to give way.

Unexpectedly, the people who took over the country thought that they were afraid, and they made even more efforts to tell them to lay down their arms immediately, otherwise, they would not be polite.

At this time, Xue Rengui saw that the army of the receiving country raised its swords, guns, bows and arrows, and had the intention of attacking. So, he ordered the whole army to be on alert and ready for battle.

At this time, those businessmen found out that in the past, Xue Rengui dragged them to drill, and the measures of unexpected situations in the event of an attack were all used. The merchants hid behind the carriage to avoid being wounded by their bows and arrows.

Xue Rengui felt that such a stalemate was not a solution, so he agreed with the opinion of the artillery staff officer.

The artillery staff officers were overjoyed, and the artillerymen, who hurriedly commanded, pushed out the two cannons.

Xue Rengui said to the general of the Zhiguo country opposite: "You guys hurry up and get out of the way, otherwise, we will be welcome." ”

As a result, the general Jiecheng was also a little angry, and he commanded his subordinates to launch an attack.

Xue Rengui was really angry and ordered the cannon to be fired.

"Boom, boom" twice, and two cannons fired towards the headquarters of the receiving country.

To deal with the dense formation, the artillery used scattered bullets, and the two cannons fired countless iron sands, which immediately swept the hundreds of soldiers on the opposite side to the ground.

This still leaves room for the successor countries, otherwise, even their generals can be killed together.

The officers and soldiers of the receiving country saw that the other side had weapons that could make loud noises and breathe fire, and they killed so many of them at once, and they all thought they were monsters, and they were immediately frightened.

The general Jiecheng was stunned for a moment, slapped his horse and ran, and in a blink of an eye, the officers and soldiers of the receiving country were out of sight.

The convoy of the mission continued on its way.

Xue Rengui suddenly remembered something, he stood still, waiting for Xina's carriage to come, and said to Xina: "Imperial concubine, please don't look outside. ”

Xue Rengui was kind and reminded Xina not to look at the tragic situation on the battlefield outside, so as not to feel uncomfortable.

However, Xue Rengui didn't know Sheena's character, he didn't say it was okay, but what he said aroused Hina's curiosity, and Sheena couldn't help it, so she looked out of the car window.

After looking at it, I realized that Xue Rengui really meant well.

The corpses on the road in front of them have been cleaned up by the officers and soldiers on both sides of the road, and Sheena saw that there were at least hundreds of corpses, full of stumps and broken bodies, as well as brains, internal organs, etc., looking at Sheena for a while, she vomited immediately.

It didn't matter if she vomited, it was a signal, and the merchants were also vomiting, and there was a disgusting smell on the road.

Xue Rengui urged the troops to speed up and hurry through this disgusting place.

Besides, the general of the Jiezhi State Jiecheng, fled back to the palace of the Jiezhi King, and begged to see the king Jieliang.

When Jieliang heard that Jiecheng had returned, he met him and asked, "What treasures have you snatched back?" Are there any beautiful women? ”

Jiecheng was shocked and stammered: "Your Majesty, the minister has insulted his mission and failed to grab treasures and beauties. ”

Jieliang was a little annoyed and asked, "What's the matter?" Have you brought so many soldiers, can't you still deal with some merchant travelers? It's simply a loss of face for our great power. ”

Jiecheng reported the situation to the king Jieliang. Jieliang didn't believe it, so he called in some officers and soldiers who went with Jiecheng to ask, and the result was the same as Jiecheng said, when they talked about the fire-breathing monster on the other side, they were still shocked.

At this moment, Jieliang was also dumbfounded, and muttered: "What's the matter, is there a bigger country in this world than the Kingdom of the Ring Sun?" ”

Jiecheng asked what to do next?

Jieliang said: "Since they are so powerful, don't provoke them, let them leave quickly." ”

This was just a small episode on the way west, and then they made their way through the hard way to finally enter the territory of the Arab Empire.

"Sister Sheena." In the crowd that came to greet him, a young Arab man with a wrapped head said in surprise.

"Harold." Sheena also said happily.
