This was Tuoba Yan's voice, and the inside of the barrier suddenly fell silent. Yang Hao slowly stood up and put the shield in front of him, such a close distance, the speed of the flying arrows, a good skill may not be able to avoid it, he didn't dare to blindly hold it up, "Hehe, Tuoba Yan, your hospitality today is much more exciting than the roast sheep and singing and dancing that night." Presumably...... You are not the young patriarch of the Bailing clan anymore, are you willing to tell me your real name and surname? ”

Yang Hao took a deep breath and looked for Tuoba Yan's location in the fog, and at the same time quietly gestured to Mu En to find an opportunity to release the cold arrow, but Tuoba Yan seemed to be galloping away on a horse in the fog, and his voice flickered left and right, making it impossible for people to grasp his exact location at all.

"Haha, it's easy to say, it's easy to say, it's true that I'm not from the Bai Ling clan, but if you call me Tuoba Yan, it's not bad. I also have a name, I think you have heard of it, I don't know the name of Li Guangyan in Yinzhou, have you ever heard of it? ”

There was a commotion behind Yang Hao, and Yang Hao also raised his eyebrows, Yinzhou Li Guangyan, of course he had heard of it. As the core figure of the Tuoba clan, the Li Guangyan family inherited the post of Yinzhou defense envoy, echoing with Xiazhou's south and north, clamping the party Xiang Qi clan in the middle inward, resisting the influence of the Hui Hui, Tufan and Khitan and Central Plains forces outward, and firmly controlling the land of Western Xia in the hands of their family, but Yang Haoshi did not expect him to obey Jian, concealed his identity, and left his lair to go deep into the scattered place of the Qiang people in Hengshan.

"It turned out to be Lord Li Guangyan, the defense envoy of Yinzhou, who was disrespectful and disrespectful, speaking of which, you and I are both Song Chen, I don't know why Lord Li met each other?"

Li Guangyan laughed: "Lord Yang, don't burn fake incense in front of the real Buddha, you don't have to be like this, this northwest realm has always been its own business, which feudal clan has put the Great Song Dynasty official family in his eyes?" Since you set up a state in Xiazhou, you have had close contacts with Fulin and Lin, and obviously you don't take my Li family seriously. You Lord Yang is very good, not only pulled Linzhou and Fuzhou as backers, but also fought and pulled, so that Hengshan Zhuqiang also made you a friend. Now that Xiazhou is fighting with the Tufan people, I can't spare people for a while, so I received Jiyun's secret letter, so I naturally want to stand up for him. ”

"It turned out that I came to seek justice for Li Jiyun in Xiazhou, speaking of which, you are the same age as him, but in terms of seniority, you should be his uncle. It is a matter of course for himself to stand up for his nephew. Master Li is very patient, I dropped out of me for so long, only to find a chance to start, if you start killing people on the bank of the Wuding River, now Yang is already a corpse on the bank of the Wuding River. ”

"Hehe, kill a thousand, and damage yourself eight. It's not a good deal, I don't do it, the Luling army swept through Zhuqiang, that majesty, the official can't help but be afraid, if you bring a large group of people and horses, I can't hide from you, there are few people with you, you have 800 soldiers in hand, how can the official not be jealous, but these days to watch, your people are not Erer, the official guards Yinzhou, I really didn't expect Hengshan Zhuqiang to fall to Si, and it will be defeated under such a Han army, which is really suffocating. ”

Li Guangyan's contemptuous words came out, and the soldiers under Yang Hao were not angry, Yang Hao was unmoved, and said with a haha: "Lord Li is indeed good, he only dared to leave the lair with more than 200 people, and there are still some women and children among the more than 200 people, but it is no wonder that the officials have looked away." In this way, Ling Gongzi killed Rigude with an arrow that night, because he was from the Yinzhou area, and he was afraid that he would recognize your identity? ”

Speaking of this, Yang Hao's heart was cold again: "It's not surprising that an adult has such scheming and means, but it is really shocking that a child has such insight and can make decisions on the spot." This child must be terrible when he grows up, but I don't know who his surname is, and he has a name in history. ”

Yang Hao thought about it, calmed down for a while, and said: "However, now that you have failed to lure me to reinforce the troops and deceived my camp, what can you do with only more than two hundred people?" This is the territory of Hengshan Zhuqiang, and it is not under the jurisdiction of your Yinzhou, if you can break through my camp with these two hundred people, then you can just let the horses come. ”

Li Guangyan sneered and said: "Even the Linzhou Prefecture does not dare to openly tear up the face of my Li family, you little Luling Prefecture, you dare to challenge my Li family's authority before you have a stable foothold?" Hey! The strength is not good, but he has a courage to splash the sky. Do you think it's hard to kill you? Kill you today, this official is just a warning to the two families of Nazheyang, so that the Hengshan Zhuqiang who are about to move will know who is the real master of this desert grassland! ”

Yang Hao smiled and said, "So, please take out the knife!" ”

Li Guangyan snorted coldly, and the other side was silent.

Mu Kui said with some uneasiness: "They have used tricks again and again, and they have not attacked them so far, so there must be some tricks." ”

Yang Hao looked at the foggy sky and said, "Mu En, look at this weather, when will the fog dissipate?" ”

Mu En said with a solemn face: "My lord, looking at this weather, I am afraid that the heavy rain is coming, and when the heavy rain comes, although the fog has dispersed, his eyesight will also be greatly affected." Although we are outnumbered by them, we need to surround those merchants, and the forces in each place are limited, and we cannot take the initiative to disturb the enemy, and if they move and attack with the advantage of cavalry, and concentrate on one point, we will be exhausted, and I am afraid that sooner or later they will break through our own formation. ”

Yang Hao frowned and said, "Can we only be beaten passively?" ”

Mu En said: "Although our army's combat strength is not as good as theirs, if we can abandon these bulky goods, escort those merchants in the middle, and take the initiative to find the enemy by virtue of the superiority in numbers, we may not suffer losses." This fog has both disadvantages and advantages, and we may be able to reverse the decline. ”

Yang Hao immediately shook his head, Mu En's proposal is correct, in this situation, there is nothing to fear, the troops have to be dispersed, the combat strength of individual soldiers is inferior to the other party, and the advantage of soldiers cannot be brought into play.

But Yang Hao's weakness is these merchants and goods, if he does that, he will win this battle, but in the overall situation, he will lose. Luling Prefecture because of the raid of Zhuqiang, the merchants were scared away, and now with the prestige of the Tang family, they were barely recruited back, if this time not only can not do business, but also throw all the capital on this prairie, then the prestige of Luling Prefecture is exhausted, and don't expect them to come to Luling Prefecture to do business.

Luling Prefecture maintains the relationship with Linzhou, Fuzhou, and Zhuqiang by doing business, Luling Prefecture is now poor and white, agriculture and animal husbandry have no foundation, and it is also business that wants to survive, if the businessmen are gone, then Luling Prefecture will undoubtedly fall, even if Li Guangyan is driven away today, what can he do?

Yang Hao immediately said: "This can't be done, industry and commerce are the foundation of my Luling foothold, I can't give up the goods of the merchants, and those merchants must also try their best to ensure their safety." Hold on for the time being, pay close attention to their actions, and see the changes in the fighters, if there is a chance to wait for the opportunity to break through, there are no mountains and no forests here, but seven or eight miles to the west is the Wuding River, we rely on the river to camp, only need to take into account three sides, and the troops will be at the mercy of the troops. I'll go to the formation first and appease those merchants. ”

Yang Hao said that he was about to go to the camp, and as soon as he took a step, he heard a "clang" sound, as if there was a dull sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, Yang Hao was stunned, and then there were a few sonorous sounds, and then someone screamed, Yang Hao lost his voice and said: "What happened?" ”

Before anyone could take a look, a fist-sized stone suddenly appeared from the mist in mid-air, and smashed into a car with a "snap", smashing the wheels of the car to pieces, and then several stones fell from the sky. Mu Kui hurriedly shouted: "Raise your shield, quickly bow down, my lord, quickly avoid the car." ”

Mu En couldn't help but say, pulled up Yang Hao and Tang Yanyan and avoided under a car, only to see that there were more and more stones falling from the sky, and after a while, there were some smoke balls and fire balls falling from the sky, the smoke choked the mouth and nose, and the fire balls fell on the goods but ignited a fire, and someone rushed to put out the fire, as soon as they were hit by stones, even the helmet had to smash out a deep pit and faint on the spot, and the tendons were broken and fractured on the body.

Mu En changed color and said, "This is a whirlwind cannon, they actually have a wind cannon?" Those big cars, it must be those big cars, and the dozen or so big cars are not loaded with goods, but with whirlwind cannons, which ...... Wouldn't that be forty or fifty? ”

Yang Hao hurriedly asked about the situation, and couldn't help but change his color. The whirlwind cannon, which was created by Ma Jun during the Three Kingdoms, resembles a windmill, in fact, it is a centrifugal stone thrower, using centrifugal force to throw stones, if the centrifugal catapult has four spiral arms, it is called 'cross cannon', if there are more than four spiral arms, it is called a whirlwind cannon. In the original invention of the whirlwind cannon, the throwing arm was perpendicular to the ground, so that the weight of the entire rotating roulette wheel was maintained on the rotating bearing.

With the smelting technology of the time, if the axis of rotation was made of metal, the center of gravity of the entire cyclone cannon would be too much upward. If the axis of rotation is not made of metal, no wood can withstand the reaction force exerted back and forth by six or seven throwing arms. Therefore, it is theoretically feasible, but it is difficult to use in real combat. But this weapon was improved by the skilled craftsmen of the grassland, the improved arm is inclined to the ground, and the arm of the whirlwind cannon has also been improved, so that the weight of the throwing arm is no longer borne by the spindle, but falls on the entire base, so that the life of the spindle is extended, and the whirlwind cannon is practical.

This small siege weapon is characterized by being able to be mounted on the saddles of camels, mules and horses, and has strong mobility, but the power of the fired blade is smaller. However, Yang Hao's hastily built camp was not a solid city, and the obstacles composed of carts and cargo boxes were not vulnerable at all, and the stone projectiles were thrown over, and even the shield could not resist them.

Dozens of whirlwind cannons, hundreds of spiral arms rotate non-stop, stone bullets are like rain, there is no way to resist, plus the poisonous smoke bombs made of wolf dung, horse manure, gunpowder, artemisia and other things, it is not easy to dissipate in this fog, if you inhale too much, it can make people breathe hard, mouth and nose bleed.

For a while, there were coughs and moans everywhere in the fog and smoke, fireballs, smoke balls and stone bullets kept falling, Yang Hao was afraid of those merchants and goods, he could not shake off the burden and fight with the enemy, and when he encountered such a weapon that could not resist the enemy, he could not defend himself, and he was really in a dilemma for a while.
