Chapter 388: The Prince's Ambition
When the army set off from the Zhenrong army, Chao Yong had two more thousand people around him, and the commanders were Han Shizhong and Liu Qi.
A military general has to go into battle to kill the enemy in order to make a contribution, and beating the Western Xia Emperor is undoubtedly a good opportunity. Therefore, Han Shizhong immediately used the reason that he was Tiangang Star to protect the prince and fight the world. Liu Zhongwu also felt that the opportunity was rare, and sent his most outstanding son, Liu Qi, to show the way, although he already had an old breed that had been fighting in this land for decades.
Approaching dusk, the army arrived at Sanchuan Village.
Sanchuan Village is located in the Liupan Mountain valley, the terrain is dangerous.
Originally, everyone thought that the Xixia soldiers and horses of Sanchuan Village should have fled, but they didn't expect the scouts to report that Sanchuan Village was heavily guarded.
Chao Yong led everyone to a small hill outside Sanchuan Village.
The walls of Sanchuan Village are made of boulders, and there are still a lot of blood stains on them, obviously some time ago, when the soldiers and horses of Xixia attacked, they also paid a lot of price.
Sanchuan Village can communicate the east and west sides of Hengshan, so when Brother Cha hit the Zhenrong army, he immediately sent people to capture Sanchuan Village and kept in touch with Li Qianshun's army on the west side of Hengshan.
Lu Zhishen shook his head and said: "In the past, it was difficult to build such a stockade without killing thousands of people. ”
Chao Yong smiled and said, "Han Shizhong, take your 1,000 people to line up and prepare to attack the village." ”
"Order"
Although Han Shizhong felt that he had a little less soldiers and horses under his command, he still did not hesitate to turn around and order troops.
Soon, a thousand soldiers and horses were spread out outside the pass.
Han Shizhong's command didn't even have siege equipment, but he didn't let people cut down trees nearby, but waited for the deputy army behind him to come up.
These chores are all done by the deputy army, and the main army is only responsible for fighting. That is, the transportation of grain and grass is completed by the deputy army, and there is absolutely no need for people.
Han Shizhong originally thought that the deputy army had prepared siege equipment in advance, but when he saw the two deputy soldiers pushing a strange car down the wall, he couldn't help but rub his eyes.
That's right, it's a trench filling cart, protected by guards in front, left and right, not afraid of bows and arrows.
An deputy soldier also said to Han Shizhong: "General, you retreat a little more, and be careful of the flying rubble." ”
When Han Shizhong heard this, he reacted, and it seemed that he was going to use divine thunder.
After Han Shizhong heard that Da Liang defeated the Western Xia people with divine thunder, he did not rest at noon, but rushed to the battlefield to see the power of divine thunder. There was iron armor that had been blown apart, and there were potholes of various sizes in the ground.
There was still some smell of gunpowder on the battlefield, and people who had used gunpowder were no strangers, and Han Shizhong immediately guessed that it was the big beam that made the powerful gunpowder.
When Han Shizhong saw a huge trench filling cart, he didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly commanded the soldiers and horses to retreat.
The western army watched in bewilderment as the two deputy soldiers pushed the trench cart under the wall, and then pressed against the wall.
After a few rounds of manipulation, the cart was divided into two parts, the first half remained under the wall, and the second half was pulled back by the two.
The Xixia people on the wall also laughed and watched the two people pushing the trench cart close to the wall, and they were no strangers to the trench cart, they just thought that the Han people were crazy.
The general saw that the trench filling truck was split into two, and the second half of the car flew backwards, and he realized that something was wrong.
In the morning, hundreds of routs fled, saying that Daliang had a divine thunder, which could blow people to pieces, and the Jin king Chage was killed on the spot, and more routs fled directly to Xi'an Prefecture, which was closer to Western Xia, and the routs were frightened. He also found out that the Chage army was indeed defeated, but he didn't believe that Daliang had any divine thunder, and if he gave up Sanchuan Village, Daliang's soldiers and horses could go straight behind the army of the lord, so he didn't abandon the village and left, but Pegasus told the lord.
At this time, when he saw a big iron box left under the city, he believed it a little, and immediately shouted: "Quickly smash it open with something." ”
After shouting, seeing that the soldiers were still thinking about it one by one, they didn't care about saying more, picked up a stone, and smashed it into the trench truck under the city.
"Bang"
With a crisp sound, the wooden board inside broke, but the tin sheet on the bread kept the box from cracking. The box also didn't move, there were brackets in the corners below that held the box there.
The two lieutenants pulled the cart and ran out of range of the archers, immediately dropped the cart, got out of the car and ran backwards.
The Tangut people had just smashed the iron box loosely, when they felt the ground shake and the earth and stones splashed, and then they heard a loud noise.
Han Shizhong stood more than a mile away, he could feel the vibration of the ground, looked at the collapsed wall, was stunned for a while, and then shouted, and rushed forward first.
Rushing to the front, the ground was full of gravel of different sizes, and there was no place for the horses to put their feet.
Han Shizhong could only jump off the horse and rush in on the rocks.
There was no resistance, in the small village, the Xixia people were either killed or injured, many people were shocked to the point of bleeding from their mouths and noses, and everyone was stupid there.
Seed Master Dao watched Han Shizhong's troops easily enter Sanchuan Village, remembered the dead and injured soldiers over the years, shook his head and said: "If this gunpowder had come out earlier, many people would not have died, and Western Xia would have been gone long ago." ”
Chao Yong said shamelessly: "If it weren't for the Dream of the Nine Heavens Xuannu Niangniang, I'm afraid this thing wouldn't have come out." ”
The seed master didn't take this stubble, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, the prince deigned to come to Xiang Laochen, and the old minister is also interested, otherwise he would have toasted and not eaten and punished." With the help of divine thunder and gunpowder, it must be the girder who dominates the world. ”
Seed Master Dao is really a little glad that he chose the right one, standing here and looking at the power of gunpowder, I feel terrified, if I stand on the head of the city, I am afraid that he will already be crushed.
Lu Zhishen also touched his bald head and said: "What Xianggong said is that no one can stop the footsteps of Daliang, and the territory of the prince after the prince must be wider than that of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Taizong of the Tang Dynasty." ”
Chao Yong also told Lu Zhishen about vulgar things, but he didn't expect Lu Zhishen to refuse, saying that he was used to being bald, although he didn't quit drinking and meat, and he didn't look like a monk when he killed people and set fires, but he quit being a woman and was not ready to return to vulgarity.
Chao Yong said with a smile: "The first emperor of the ages is my father, and the famous generals are you, people may call me the king of kings in the future, but I will not become the emperor." ”
Lu Zhishen said strangely: "The king of kings? ”
Chao Yong said with a smile: "I will have many sons, and then I will get a fief for one of them, only the people in the Central Plains are emperors, and the rest of the places are princes." Do you think I am the King of kings? ”
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at Chao Yong strangely.
Lu Zhishen glared and said, "Except for the Central Plains, which are all barbarian places, the prince is willing to put your son in those places?" ”
Chao Yong smiled: "In fact, this world is very big, the Central Plains is only a small piece, there are many places that are not worse than the Central Plains, but most of the people in the places are not civilized." I am ready to let the Han people spread all over the world, so that people of other nationalities can learn the culture of our Han people. ”
There is another sentence that Chao Yong did not say, that is, to absorb some of the cultures of other ethnic groups. Nowadays, the surrounding ethnic groups are learning the culture of the Central Plains, and if the Han people are allowed to learn the culture of other ethnic groups, I am afraid that everyone will scoff at it, so Chao Yong will not mention this stubble.
Chao Yong originally wanted to get two books on mathematics and geometry, but found that he had forgotten a lot, so he decided to collect some books from Europe, and then he sorted out the books, and the names were naturally not distributed to others. (To be continued.) )
