After the Tusima tribe once again repelled the attack of Li Yuanhao's troops, under the cover of night, they quietly moved to the place agreed in advance.

At dawn, Taluanday, together with his cronies, launched an attack on the army of the Uth tribe, and soon the Uth tribe was in decline, and soon it was a rout. Under normal circumstances, for these Tibetans, even if they use stratagem siege, it is difficult to create such brilliant results.

After all, they are also cavalry, even if they can't run, it's not a problem, and in this vast terrain, it is also rare to complete a truly seamless siege.

But it is precisely because of this long-term habit that the Wusi tribe did not respond in time to the ambush, but this time the Wusi tribe tasted the bitter fruit, thinking that they would run away if they couldn't fight, but they didn't expect people to chase behind, and they seized the opportunity to masturbate a few handfuls, and they fell a piece of people every time they masturbated their side. In this way, the Tuosima tribe chased out of fifty miles, and also swept the people of the Wusi tribe to the ground, and less than 10,000 of the 50,000 people of the Wusi tribe ran back alive in the end, and the rest were either hung up or were shot off their horses and arrested.

It's a shame that people have run out of crossbow arrows, otherwise it will be difficult for those 10,000 to run back. So much so that the soldiers of the Desi Mabu were sighing: "This thing is very exciting to pick up, it's too sister's Fei Arrow!" ”

After the war, after two days of short confrontation, they successfully repelled the joint attack of Li Yuanhao and the Wusi tribe. A total of 40,000 Wusu tribes were killed and wounded in this battle, but about 20,000 were actually killed, and the rest were prisoners. As for the number of losses in Li Yuanhao's department, it was not much, except for the more than 1,000 corpses that were left behind when covering the retreat of the heavy cavalry in the end, only the heavy cavalry was wounded more than 1,000 points, and more than 500 people died, which was half of the number of troops in a short period of time. This is the most distressing place for Li Yuanhao, it is not easy to train every heavy cavalry, and the armor is not cheap, but fortunately, there are some arrow holes in the armor, and it will not be scrapped.

"Strategist, what do you think?" Li Yuanhao took the arrow taken from the soldier and handed it to Wang Qiu.

Wang Qiu rubbed the strange arrow and asked, "Great King, isn't this the crossbow arrow that the faint monarch of the Song Kingdom made up?" How did it get to you? ”

"Song Guo? His Royal Highness said why is it so familiar, it turned out that the Huyan tribe was pitted by this thing back then, but I didn't expect His Highness to be pitted today, this Nima Song Kingdom Xiao Dujun is a pit goods! Li Yuanhao could only curse silently in his heart, and he couldn't admit it in front of his little brother.

After scolding people, Li Yuanhao felt much more comfortable in his heart, adjusted his demeanor, and said to Wang Qiu: "Does the military advisor mean that Song Guo is involved?" No, His Royal Highness really saw it, there were no Song people on the other side, they were all Tubo people. ”

"Dare to ask Your Highness, can you see how many people on the other side use repeaters?"

"Your Highness Rong Ben, think about it! According to His Highness's estimates, there were about four or five thousand people on the other side holding this thing, and they were deliberately aiming at His Highness's heavy cavalry from the beginning, obviously coming prepared. It's all to blame for His Highness's negligence, he didn't find any clues about them, and he thought that they couldn't shoot through the armor...... Ay! Li Yuanhao thought that his heart and soul were hit hard, and he felt a sadness in his heart.

As a qualified junior brother, Wang Qiu naturally wanted to comfort him: "Your Highness, you don't have to blame yourself, as the saying goes, a wise man must make a mistake in a thousand thoughts!" Besides, your heavy cavalry even horses, horses and horses, although they die and do not fall, it is normal not to check for a while. ”

"Having said that, His Highness is still distressed! His Royal Highness has only truly appreciated the power of the repeater crossbow today, and I heard that the Song Kingdom has already equipped many troops with repeater crossbows, and it seems that the road to the Central Plains is still very difficult! ”

"Your Highness don't need to be frustrated, as far as your subordinates know, the power of this repeater is indeed not to be underestimated, but it is not impossible to break through. For example, your heavy cavalry will only be pierced by a repeater at close range. Think about it, if those infantry of the Song Kingdom were holding this thing, they wouldn't have had time to react under your heavy cavalry charge. Moreover, the subordinates heard from you about the situation on the battlefield, and the other party just relied on the fact that there were war horses that could avoid your impact, so as to constantly harass them, which is indeed a bit hateful! ”

"Bastard! Could it be that the invincible male lion of His Highness will be blocked by this mere thousands of crossbows? Li Yuanhao was unhappy for a while, and slapped the table in half, which shows that this contemporary fierce man is indeed extraordinary.

Wang Qiu suddenly sneered: "Wait...... Your Highness, your subordinates have a question, since you said that there are no Song people on the other side to participate in the war, then there is only one possibility left - the Song State sold repeaters to these Tubo people. Think about it again, according to the crossbow made by Song Guoduanjun, each time it is loaded with thirty arrows, if the other party has five thousand crossbows, do you think about how many arrows they used up in this battle, and how many arrows can they have left? ”

Li Yuanhao wanted to slap the table again, but he was empty: "His grandmother is a bear, why didn't His Highness think of it!" With the level of those Tibetans, it is unrealistic for them to make a large number of arrows by themselves, all by buying them from the Song Kingdom, the road is so far away, it is impossible for them to use them for a long time. But the question is, where do we go to replace the dead ghosts to consume their arrows? ”

"Hehe, Your Highness, haven't you already found a ready-made one!"

"Hahaha...... His Royal Highness knows, the military advisor is really enough! But His Highness likes it! ”

As soon as Li Yuanhao's words fell, his dream was broken by his own soldiers: "Your Highness Qiqi, news has come from the Wusi tribe that their army has been devastated, there are not many 50,000 troops left, and they are about to face the attack of the Tuosi Mabu, please send troops to support!" ”

I finally fooled a substitute for the dead ghost, and just a day later, it was gone!

Li Yuanhao said very depressedly: "His Royal Highness knows, go down!" ”

Wang Qiu looked at Li Yuanhao's gloomy face and said tentatively: "Your Highness, what are your plans?" ”

"Humph! His Royal Highness has made such a lot of effort, it is impossible to give up easily, although the Wusi tribe is useless for the time being, but at least it has consumed a lot of arrows, and it has not tasted many good things for us. There is a cloud in the art of war: 'unite the crowd and attack from afar', let's do the same, you send some lobbyists to other Tibetan tribes, hype up the threat of the Tusima tribe and exaggerate the wealth of their tribe, and it is bound to make those who unite as substitutes for the dead! ”

"Subordinates understood! So what's next for you? Do you want to go on the offensive? ”

"Well, why do you still have to save this Wusi tribe, otherwise it will discourage the enthusiasm of those people, but the people of His Highness can't be substitutes for the dead, so let our soldiers go around and attract Tuosi Mabu back. Moreover, His Royal Highness has to take this opportunity to build a few more cities, hey, it's a pity that there aren't enough Han people arrested, otherwise the progress can be a little faster! Li Yuanhao's words actually carried a feeling of unfinished business.

"Your Highness is clever!" Wang Qiu slapped another sycophant before exiting the tent.

And the Tusima tribe really wanted to take this opportunity to grab some territory from the Wusi tribe, but Li Yuanhao's troops appeared not far from his hometown again, and Lu Andai had to take the troops to get some benefits and hurried home.

Unexpectedly, when Ta Lu Andai rushed home, he was trying to use the crossbow to show his majesty, and Li Yuanhao's people ran away again, which was really disappointing!

"Master Gao, this repeater of your Song Kingdom is really good! It's just that there are more arrows, you see that this king has just fought with them, and the arrows have consumed three layers, and if this continues, there will be no arrows soon. Do you think you can tell your majesty the emperor on behalf of this king, and send some arrows to this king? Answer: Lu Andai is rubbing like Li Yuanhao, but one is touching an arrow and the other is a repeating crossbow.

Because of the meritorious service of the crossbow, the treatment of the two brothers of Gao Zunfu has also improved a lot, at least at this time, the two brothers can still sit at the same table with Ta Lu An Dai and drink two cups. Yan Zunmeng has been mixed with those border soldiers since he was a child, and his personality is relatively bold, no, when he heard Lu Andai say this, he laughed without thinking about it, and the key is that he choked himself.

Gao Zunfu hurriedly patted him on the back, and said apologetically to Lu Andai: "My brother has drunk too much, please forgive me!" ”

"It's okay!" Aluan Dai said indifferently: "I don't know about the arrows......

"Back to the king, just under the speculation, this request of yours may be difficult to do! You must have experienced the speed at which this repeater consumes arrows, and as you know, there are no less than 100,000 troops equipped with repeaters in our court. Although the equipment of the repeater has been interrupted during the period of preparation for you, how many arrows will be needed for the troops that are already equipped? I guess I don't need to say more! Think about it, there is a shortage of arrows in our court, and this is still for the king...... It's really hard to do! ”

"Smack" The cup in Lu Andai's hand fell to the ground, and he was surprised: "One hundred thousand? Forehead drop a good girl! Didn't you say this thing was hard to make? How can there be so many? ”

"The king doesn't know, this repeater is really difficult to make, and the materials are also difficult to make, the reason why there is this, it is all accumulated by my emperor for more than ten years, and you also know that my emperor began to make this when he was still the prince. Moreover, you have also seen this arrow, it is precisely because of this special arrow that it can penetrate the heavy armor of Li Yuanhao's department, but this kind of arrow processing is too difficult, even if I have been hoarding it for ten years, it is not much! In order to help your ministry this time, it took a lot of effort to persuade the Privy Council to allocate 500,000 yuan to your ministry, if you want to ask for more, I am afraid it will be difficult to touch the hearts of those adults in the Privy Council, unless you ......"

"Unless what?" Answer: Lu Andai asked nervously.

As for Gao Zunfu's words, Lu Andai had no doubts, because when he got the crossbow and bow and arrows, he let his subordinates start copycating. The result is naturally needless to say, the crossbow arm is not qualified for workmanship, the range is greatly shortened, and even the crossbow arrow is not so easy to imitate, not to mention the material, in order to create a spiral arrow, you have to knock and beat for a long time, and in the end the power is greatly reduced because of the wrong angle.

It was precisely because of these difficulties that he wanted to go from Song Guo with a shy face, even if there was only a little hope, he didn't want to give up, and now the surrounding environment could not allow him to give up.

Gao Zunfu: "Back to the king, unless you can take out something that makes those adults happy, and then operate it from the side, so that it is possible to dig out the arrows from their hands!" ”

Answer: "Gao Gongzi is reasonable! This king understands what you mean, wait for this king to think about it! ”

Gao Zunfu: "No problem, the king, you think slowly, and you will retire first with your younger brother." Our brother has been bothered for many days, and it is time to leave in a few days, and the king has thought about it and ordered it! ”

Alu Andai nodded silently, and Gao Zunfu pulled Lu Zunmeng out.

"Cousin, do you think this Talu Andai will agree?" Lu Zunmeng asked in a low voice in Gao Zunfu's ear.

"Huh...... Does he have a choice? Gao Zunfu said with a smile.

Yan Zunmeng tilted his head and thought about it, and smirked: "Hehe, this is also true!" ”

Within a few days, Gao Zunfu's brothers, Niu Seventeen and others, returned to Meizhou with thousands of war horses and tens of thousands of horses, and the Tubo people who accompanied them also transported the remaining 500,000 arrows from Meizhou.

Although this transaction directly reduced the harvest of Tuo Sima from Wusina by half, but Alu Andai looked at the mountains of arrows, and his heart was full of security, but at the same time, he had a little more anxiety, and he couldn't help but look in the direction of Song Guo, took a deep breath, and couldn't let go for a long time!
