At the end of July, Ashima. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The carriages dedicated to the chiefs and presented by Xia Cheng were constantly in and out of the city gates to receive the leaders of the nearby cities, and the wheels were not only comfortable, but also represented a different kind of majesty.

When the two soldiers of Awa Cheng who participated in the expedition returned from the east, Awa Yue had just gone outside the city to meet a leader, and when he saw the two soldiers returning in the carriage, he was anxious to know the result, but he still held back his bearing and courtesy, and hurried back to the house after completing the reception, and the two soldiers had rested enough.

"Won?"

He asked what he wanted to know the most, and when he saw the two soldiers nodding, he couldn't help but scream, and he was very excited.

Now that he knew the result, the rest was not in a hurry, so he asked someone to prepare wine and food, and let the two clansmen tell slowly.

When he heard about the bombing of the city, Su Yue's face became grim, and he interjected for the first time: "Tell me slowly, the city gate has really been blown open?" ”

"Really, I saw with my own eyes, the wood was shattered with a bang, and the people guarding it were also killed, and when Ji Xia rushed in with the people of Xiacheng, there were not many people who resisted at all. Su Tang also said that there would be no need to besiege the city again, and that the fortified cities would no longer be able to hold us for months. ”

"How many of you died?"

"Not much, just a few injured."

The soldier said with some embarrassment: "By the time we woke up from that thunder, Ji Xia had already rushed in with the soldiers of Xia City. They probably saw too much of this thing, so they didn't take it seriously. ”

Su Yue listened to the soldier's description, imagined the scene of hundreds of catties of gunpowder exploding, secretly frightened, and asked, "The military formation of Xia Cheng ...... Is it really as Su He said, it's hard to resist? ”

"This expedition did not have war horses and chariots, and it was a siege, which was different from the flat ground rush that Su He saw. However, the soldiers in Xia Cheng are indeed very powerful, the five of them are all familiar with each other, I heard that they don't need to work on weekdays, they have to train hard every day, and they are all very strong. ”

The soldier thought for a moment, and finally described: "When they are advancing in front of the siege, they can march in a whole formation of forty paces, and the formation is not out of order at forty paces. They can understand all kinds of whistles and drums that we can't understand, and they have a basis for advancing and retreating, which we really can't compare. And their archers could throw the walls from a hundred paces away, and five out of ten arrows could fall on the walls. ”

Su Yue was silent for a long time, and said suspiciously: "Forty steps and a whole team...... The formation is still not chaotic, but there are really such soldiers? ”

Seeing that both of them nodded in convincing, Su Yue finally believed it, and sighed: "What Su He said is really good, on the flat ground, even if there is no gunpowder, chariots, and riders in Xia City, those soldiers are enough to defeat one enemy and three." ”

"I've heard some of what he said during the winter meeting, and he said that he would build a castle in Onozawa, teach all ethnic groups and cities, and train soldiers, if he could really be like the current soldiers of Xia Castle...... You don't need to do all, even if it's half, you can do a whole team of twenty steps, you can do it when you are slow and then fast when you are impacted, and you can echo it alternately when you retreat, then there are tens of thousands of Dongyi Beidi, so what's so terrible? ”

"I thought Xia Cheng would win, but it was just by relying on the gunpowder chariot, but now it seems that this is definitely not the case, it is definitely not the case!"

He thought about it in his heart, if Ji Xia was really the kind of person who wanted the clan to unite and not be able to dispute, and really taught this method of training soldiers, if there were three thousand such soldiers in his city, it would be difficult for any city to resist.

What's even more terrifying is that with gunpowder, you can capture a city within two months, instead of besieging the city for a long time as before, causing the enemy's allies to come, and the final decision on the survival of the city is a decisive battle in the field, and the number of people who go out can be smaller, and you can also end the battle faster to stabilize the morale of the army.

"Three thousand! Three thousand! Give me three thousand such soldiers, and everything is enough! ”

The expectation in his heart was like fire, but he didn't know how much Chen Jian had spent to train these soldiers, not to mention three thousand, even if it was one thousand, Xia Cheng would be too much to bear and go bankrupt.

Originally, he didn't care about Chen Jian's statement that he wanted to teach everyone, but at this time, he couldn't help asking: "You are walking with Ji Xia, have you heard him talk about helping his relatives train in the future?" ”

"I said, Su Tang also asked. Ji Xia said that he had already begun to build a city in Onozawa, and that he might be able to have a prototype in winter, and that the relatives in each city would send a noble young man with a smart surname to learn, and he would become a small man in three years, and after he went back, he would pass on ten to ten, ten to hundred, and let all relatives have such soldiers within ten years. Gunpowder workshops and the like will also be established in Onozawa, and as long as each clan keeps its oath, it can be exchanged at will, and it will also teach each clan how to use it, and even help each clan train soldiers to throw gunpowder, but each clan has to pay for its own food and clothing on weekdays. ”

Su Yue nodded again and again: "Of course, you have to go out by yourself, not only by yourself, but also to give more thanks to Ji Xia." Did he really say that? ”

"Yes, that's right, Su Tang also said that he would go there when the time came."

Su Yue snorted, he already had a plan in his heart, these things are said to be the secrets of the leaders of various clans, and they will only be passed on to their children and will never be revealed to outsiders. Chen Jian felt that he couldn't see through it, and he also persuaded him not to pass on these things to laborers at the beginning, but at that time, Chen Jian was just a child, and he didn't understand the reason.

But now, from the time when Jian Chen seized the opportunity to interfere in his city, Su Yue knew that he was thinking less, and he couldn't understand why Jian Chen would pass on these things, but Su Cheng would not miss this opportunity.

Once Onozawa's castle was established, Awagi would definitely send people to the new army training method, but when they did, they could not be ordinary people, but they would send young people from their own families, young people who supported them, relatives in the city, and children of wealthy families.

These young people will become the new military aristocracy in the future, monopolizing the method of training soldiers, and when Chen Jian is old, no one will teach it publicly, so that it will last forever.

And while Jian Chen is still talking, he must exchange a large amount of gunpowder, the more the better. He felt that Jian Chen was not as naïve as he thought before, so it was impossible for someone who didn't have to think about how to configure gunpowder to know.

In the future, once there is a war with Xia Cheng, the source of gunpowder will be cut off at that time, and there is nothing to threaten Xia Cheng now, only to prepare in advance.

In a moment, he had already drawn up a few candidates to go to Onozawa to study, basically all of them were young people in the family, these people would form the pillar and cornerstone of Su Yu's side in the future, if he could also learn the methods of planting, smelting, and trading in Xia Cheng, then his son's position would be completely stable.

Even, it can be used as an exchange of interests to ensure that the purpose that Jian Chen discussed with himself before the expedition is achieved, so that this alliance becomes worthy of the name, and the leader of the alliance becomes worthy of the name!

Thinking of this, he said excitedly: "You go out immediately and announce the news loudly, just say that Ji Xia brought only a hundred people to capture the city!" Tell me all that you have seen about the gunpowder bombing of the city and the slaughter of the army, and at once go and tell the chiefs of the relatives who are waiting in the city! Fast! Fast! ”

When one soldier got up, another soldier said solemnly, "Chief, there are some other things that Su Tang has to pass on to you, and say that this is the most important thing, and only you can hear it." ”

Su Yue was stunned, knowing that although his son was young, he could distinguish the weight, so he waved his hand to let the soldier go out first and dismissed the slaves in the house. (To be continued.) )
