Chapter 578: The Battle of the Ages (28)
"Therefore, I believe that Han Yong, his headquarters of soldiers and horses, plus the reinforcements given by the military department, is enough to conquer the western frontier, our main force should be placed in the imperial capital, and capturing the imperial capital is the most important thing.

Zhang Wu arched his hand and smiled: "Lord, let the last general also go to the Western Xinjiang to help Han Yong." ā
Ling Feng thought for a moment and responded, "Okay, that's right, with you going with you, it shouldn't be a problem to take the Western Frontier." ā
"Yang Xionggang was defeated by Yu Qinglong, morale is low, there are not many soldiers and horses left, after you arrive in the western Xinjiang, don't give the enemy a chance to breathe, you must take advantage of the victory to chase and kill, until the strong enemy is eliminated, as for how to march, you must focus on Han Yong."
"Don't worry, the lord will not disappoint the lord."
The two of you and I made a plan.
Han Ziyu smiled bitterly, but he had to admit that Ling Feng's plan was indeed feasible, because compared to the Western Frontier, the imperial capital was equally important, and from the perspective of the overall situation, it was even more important.
...........
Kaiyuan.
Military Administration.
Zhang Shilin received Ling Feng's order, and without saying a word, he immediately called someone to pass on Han Yong and Sun Jian.
A little later, Han Yong and Sun Jian came to the lobby of the Military Administration Department, and when they saw Zhang Shilin's smiling face, Sun Jian quipped: "Shilin, did you encounter some happy event?" Why are you so happy? ā
"Of course."
Zhang Shilin beckoned: "Come over quickly, this happy event can be related to you." ā
When he said this, he especially looked at Han Yong, meaning that the happy event was related to Han Yong.
"What's the happy event?"
The two walked over, and Han Yong asked.
Zhang Shilin threw a letter towards Han Yong and said, "Look for yourself, the lord asked you to go to the western frontier and kill Yang Xiong." ā
"Really..."
Han Yong was overjoyed, read the letter, and said in surprise: "I really didn't expect that Yu Qinglong would be so powerful, defeating Yang Xiong's army of 600,000, he can be regarded as a great achievement this time." ā
"It's really enviable, 600,000... Gee.... ā
Zhang Shilin said with a smile: "Don't envy him, if you can occupy the Western Frontier and completely eliminate Yang Xiong, his credit will not be less than his." ā
Sun Jian also smiled.
Han Yong promised: "Shilin, don't worry, I want to go to the Western Xinjiang, and I will definitely be able to make contributions!" ā
"But..."
In an instant, he looked at Sun Jian with some embarrassment, and then turned his gaze to Zhang Shilin and said: "But Shilin, can you ask the Ministry of War to add some equipment to me, this mission is so heavy, you can't let me go like this." ā
"Don't worry, didn't you find Sun Jian after reading it?"
Zhang Shilin said: "The lord said in the letter, give you 30,000 recruits, let you lead 100,000 troops into Xinjiang, it is enough for you to establish a great achievement." ā
"No, no, no... I don't want any recruits, how about you give me twenty thunderbolts? Then give me 5,000 zha pills, and I promise that I will definitely take the Western Xinjiang! ā
Han Yong said repeatedly.
Zhang Shilin smiled: "I'll give you 10,000..." ā
"Shilin, I'm not joking with you, just give me five thousand, I'd rather not have those 30,000 people, you keep those 30,000 people, which can be used to reinforce the south and east."
Zhang Shilin said: "I'm not joking with you, I'm really going to give you 10,000, didn't the lord say in the letter, give equipment support as appropriate, I see that it's not easy for you to go to Xijiang to clean up that mess, so, grit your teeth, give you 10,000!" ā
Adversity...
"Seriously?"
Han Yong was stunned, he had asked Zhang Shilin many times before, but every time he refused, and so did the other generals, on this, it seemed that he had never conceded. I remember that the most influential one was Yu Qinglong, I don't know how many times, but Sun Jian refused every time, and the Military Administration Department would not approve it...
Who would have thought that this time Zhang Shilin would become more generous, and as soon as he opened his mouth, there were 10,000 zha bombs.
I only heard Zhang Shilin say: "I not only want to give you 10,000 zha bullets, but also give you 100 thunderbolts, 200 crossbows, 10,000 strong crossbows, and all kinds of siege equipment will also be continuously transported to the western Xinjiang, you can fight well, the weapons will not be less yours, as for the 30,000 soldiers, you also bring them, even if they are new soldiers, but it is still possible to garrison the city, besides, after so long of Bai Wilt training, it can also come in handy, don't underestimate them." Maybe it's up to them to decide the outcome of this battle. ā
"Thank you, thank you, thank you so much....
Han Yong clenched his fists and thanked him vigorously.
Even Zhang Shilin said so, then it was basically a matter that had already been decided, even if it was Sun Jian, this military secretary could not refute it, he could only obey the order, and there was no need to discuss.
"You don't have to thank me, as long as you can fight the war well and let me worry less, I will thank you."
"Hehe, it must be..."
As he spoke, he settled the matter. Zhang Shilin looked at Sun Jian and said: "In addition to giving Han Yong equipment, your military department also sent additional troops to Liao Yun and transported weapons, I think he can't hold it anymore..." ā
"Send him 10,000 zha bombs too, otherwise it will be a bit difficult to block Jiang Yiyuan."
"No."
Sun Jian nodded and agreed.
Even if Zhang Shilin doesn't say it, he is ready to play this matter, he has been at war for so long, and he has not transported zha bombs to the front line, with the strength of Liao Yunjun's army, it is very difficult to block Jiang Yiyuan, besides, Jiang Yiyuan also has 100,000 zha bombs in his hand, if he is not careful, Liao Yun's army is defeated, then it will be troublesome.
.........
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
On the southern border of Kaiyuan, with a loud bang, the first ever duel between the two armies began, although Jiang Yiyuan did not have a thunderbolt, but he had a trebuchet, and the trebuchet could throw the zha bomb out, so it was completely possible to drink Liao Yun to a close artillery battle.
Just like one early morning three days ago, Jiang Yiyuan was like crazy, more than 100 trebuchets came to the city where Liao Yun was stationed, and launched a brazen attack on Liao Yun's garrison, throwing more than 10,000 bullets in one breath, almost collapsing the city wall. After only three hours of fierce fighting, Liao Yun was repulsed and led the army back one hundred and fifty miles.
Since the start of the war, this is the first time Liao Yun has been so passive, and he doesn't even have the strength to fight back.
It stands to reason that in such an upright duel, he should have the upper hand, whether it is weapons, elite soldiers, or geographical location, he has an absolute advantage.
However, what made him speechless was that he didn't have many thunderbolts under his command, let alone many zha bombs, and if he started an artillery battle with Jiang Yiyuan, he would definitely be at a disadvantage.
Liao Yun didn't understand very much, why didn't he transport the zha bombs and thunderbolt cars, although the gold was expensive, but there was no need to be so timid, his enemy was Jiang Yiyuan, and he fought with such an enemy, couldn't he still ask for support for tens of thousands of zha bombs.
