Chapter 437: Here We Go Again
Speaking of this, Goudan laughed: "As soon as General Liao's 100,000 army arrives, we can carry out a counterattack, let them taste the power of our red-coated artillery!" ”
A redcoat cannon?
Many of the generals present had heard this word for the first time, and only Wang Xu was more familiar with it, but he asked, "How many cannons did you bring here?" ”
Goudan said: "One hundred, we have enough ammunition and can use it on a large scale." ”
"Great, don't be afraid of these snowy people now."
Lei Yan and the others were still confused, and Wang Xu immediately explained to a few people.
When they heard that the red-coated cannon was an upgraded version of the secret weapon, everyone became excited, everyone knew the power of the secret weapon, and this upgraded version could be imagined.
Lei Yan was also relieved, as long as Liao Yun arrived, he didn't need to use his cavalry to defend the city.
.........
Xiping Guanfu Yazhong.
Wang Xu was in a good mood, the clouds on his face had disappeared, and he walked in the courtyard, not laughing heartily.
Liao Yun is still a few days away, and as long as Liao Yun arrives, no matter what good strategies the people in the snow region have, they will be useless.
If the red-clothed cannon, the three-bow bed crossbow, the strong crossbow, and these three things go into battle together, the effect is needless to say, and it will definitely be crushed all the way! And there is a more important point, all the soldiers under Liao Yun's command are equipped with the new Wenwang steel knife, and the weapons are all made of stainless steel, which is extremely sharp, and all are elite soldiers, so that even if it is a field battle, it has the power to fight.
In the hall, Zhang Xue, Wen Mengliang, and Ye Minyan were fighting the landlord, and the fight was in full swing. Exhilaration.
Wang Xu walked over and snatched the cards in Zhang Xue's hand: "Xue'er, let me play, you have been playing all morning." ”
"Don't move, don't move, I'll definitely win this one of my landlords." Zhang Xue remembered shouting and grabbing the cards and not letting go.
"It's so stingy."
Wang Xu looked at Zhang Xue's cards, and then walked to the side and snatched Wen Mengliang's cards: "Come on." Meng Liang, if I help you fight, I will definitely beat her down. ”
Wen Mengliang was very obedient and did not resist. The card was given to Wang Xu.
Next, without any accident, Wang Xu killed the Quartet, leaving no piece of armor killed by Zhang Xue, and throwing away the armor. Appalling.
"This game is so fun, you Central Plains people are so good." Ye Minyan smiled.
Wang Xu cut off: "What is this, when I return to the palace, I will teach you to play mahjong, that one can only be played by four people, which is more cool than this." ”
"Mahjong?"
......
Zhang Xue and Wen Mengliang heard a new term and immediately asked.
Wang Xu said mysteriously: "You'll know when you return to the palace." ”
Ye Minyan shuffled the cards, she always had a faint smile on her face, and listening to what Wang Xu said, she was curious again. But at this time, her face sank slightly, because she remembered her brother under Xiping Guancheng.
"Brother Xu, how is my eldest brother?"
Hearing this, Wang Xu said: "Your brother is very good, how powerful the army of hundreds of thousands is, you don't have to worry about him, he is fine." ”
Ye Minyan is the most observant of words, and when he saw Wang Xu's happy appearance, he knew that he must have the certainty of winning the battle. She thought for a while and said, "Brother Xu, can you leave a way for my eldest brother to survive, if you catch him." Don't kill him, okay? ”
Wang Xu smiled: "Yes, if I catch him, not only will I not kill him, but I can also reward him, and I will take him to the imperial capital, and you will also go to the imperial capital." Then you can stay in the Central Plains forever, do you say? ”
"Really?" Ye Min Yan Xi said.
Wang Xu nodded: "Of course it's true, when I catch him, I will still make him the king of the snowy region, but he can't stay in the snowy county, and let him settle in the imperial capital, which is called 'being in the palace and leading the snowy region from afar'." ”
"And you, still be your little county lord, and you don't restrict your freedom, do you say?"
Hearing this, Ye Minyan sobbed excitedly: "This is really good, in this way, the eldest brother does not have to die, and I can stay in the Central Plains forever, and I can also play with Sister Xue'er and Sister Meng Liang." Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the little girl's face again.
This has always been her heart's desire.
"Brother Naxu, grab my eldest brother quickly, don't let him rebel again." Ye Min Yan said.
Zhang Xue pouted on the side and said, "Your eldest brother has 600,000 iron horses in his hands, how many people do you think it is, it is difficult to catch your brother." ”
Wen Mengliang also nodded, although she didn't know how to fight, but it was scary to hear this number.
"Don't worry, as soon as General Liao's reinforcements arrive, we can find a way to return to attack, if nothing else, it is still very possible to capture Ye Minzhong."
............
In April, the land of the Central Plains is full of greenery, and many farmers are planting seedlings in the land, preparing for a year's planting.
Guxi County, Hexi County, and the Imperial Capital, under the leadership of household officials, exploited a large amount of wasteland, especially the land of the imperial capital, as long as there is water, there will be a large number of agricultural development, and it is inevitable to plant seedlings.
In Jia Hui's words, the amount of grain determines the strength of a country!
This sentence is not unreasonable, for example, the current imperial capital, there is no food, and even the soldiers can't afford to support it, resulting in a large number of layoffs, more than one million troops, reduced to 600,000.
And just these 600,000 are almost unable to raise, but fortunately, the people of the sea surrendered and solved the urgent need of the imperial court.
However, Yang Mingyue also knew this, so this year, he also advocated the development of agriculture a lot, planting all the places that could grow food, but according to the records of previous years in Dongjun, there is generally not much yield here.
There is also Cai Wenzhuo, who is also developing the prairie, leading the Yangtze River to the grassland to develop agriculture, and Bao'an County, which is also exploited by him in large quantities.
It can be said that among the Quartet forces, Cai Wenzhuo attaches the most importance to agricultural development, because he firmly believes that grain is the capital of the revolution!
As for Hu Ling in Nanjun, he is not far behind, and agriculture is also very developed, but compared to commerce, agriculture is a little weaker.
Therefore, Gao Quan is more concerned about business, because it takes money to build weapons.
Why does Gao Quan value business?
He has a secret weapon in his hand, which can make saltpeter, so there are not many soldiers, but fine!
Gao Quan laid off a large number of employees, leaving only 600,000 elites, and he was ready to equip all of these 600,000 people with secret weapons, so he was really invincible in the world.
.......
When the forces of all parties in the Central Plains were developing silently, the war in Xipingguan continued.
On this day, Ye Minzhong arrived again with a large army.
The army stretched for ten miles, and all of them came, attacking 550,000 people!
Looking at the posture, it was to capture Xiping Pass in one fell swoop, and looking at Ye Minzhong's face, a bright smile also appeared, as if he was confident. (To be continued.) )
