It's too late to review the manuscript, so let's send it first and then change it.

============

After the battle outside Yanmen Pass, Yantou trusted Huang Shaohong more and more, although the matter of promoting Huang Shaohong as his deputy has not been approved by the imperial court, but he has handed over many things to the latter to manage.

For example, when leading the Yanmen soldiers to practice and repair the city, Yantou was troublesome, and all of them were handed over to Huang Shaohong to do it for him.

Huang Shaohong also lived up to the trust, not only did he train the troops well, but also knocked out a new set of city repair methods from the Romans to improve the progress of the project.

Huang Shaohong took over the responsibility of training the troops, which was exactly what he wanted, because he knew that when Luquis and the others arrived at Yanmen Pass, it meant that the army of the Roman prince Tibes was about to arrive.

This matter is not to say that Luquis and the little prince can be solved by handing them over, in the original plot, Luquis used this as an excuse to actually want to control the Silk Road, a trade route connecting the East and the West, otherwise why use 100,000 troops to chase hundreds of people!

So, this is going to be knocked in the end.

Huang Shaohong took over the responsibility of training, and first passed on the training method of Mingjin Pile Gong in the national arts, if the pile Gong is practiced well, it is very effective to improve people's strength and endurance in a short period of time.

In addition to pile work, Huang Shaohong also increased riding and archery training.

In later generations, the Mongolian cavalry was invincible across Europe, and Jebe and Subutai led 25,000 men on an expedition to Europe, killing 170,000 European soldiers and subjugating more than a dozen countries, relying on the flexibility and mobility of cavalry and archery.

Therefore, Huang Shaohong felt that if he could train a similar team in a short period of time, what would be the 100,000 Roman army.

This matter is placed in any era, Huang Shaohong dares to think so, it is definitely an unrealistic fantasy, but in the Western Han Dynasty, this is definitely a hopeful thing, because the Han Dynasty in this era has the most powerful cavalry in Chinese history.

It is so powerful that it is better than the Mongolian iron cavalry in later generations!

Decades ago, under the leadership of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che, the Han Dynasty established the world's most powerful elite cavalry corps at that time.

More than 300,000 Huns were killed, captured, and surrendered, accounting for one-third of the Xiongnu population.

The Xiongnu Empire, which had dominated Mobei for a hundred years, collapsed on all fronts, and finally had to move west under the continuous blows of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Now that decades have passed, the training method of Wei Qing and Champion Hou is still used, and the cavalry is still the best Dawan horse, and the best weapons and equipment in the world are still used.

In Huang Shaohong's eyes, the difference between these border cavalry and the Mongolian iron cavalry of later generations is nothing more than the guerrilla tactics of the enemy advancing and retreating, the enemy retreating and I advancing, and the enemy stationed and disturbed us.

Therefore, when Huang Shaohong practiced cavalry every day, in addition to training the accuracy of cavalry archery, he also focused on training the cavalry's mobility of prohibiting orders and advancing and retreating like the wind.

Although Yantou didn't know what Huang Shaohong was doing every day, he didn't bother to ask out of trust, just thought that his heart hadn't grown up yet, and said to the mouse: "Let him toss it!" ”

In addition to military training, Huang Shaohong also bought a large amount of sulfur, saltpeter, and charcoal from merchants of various ethnic groups, and began to study the formula of black powder he learned in school by relying on his memories.

He originally had no money to buy these things, but after capturing Luquis and the little prince of the fallen horse, he made a big windfall, and when he was rewarded by the wild goose for his brothers, Huang Shaohong shared the lion's share, and when he had money, he moved to study gunpowder.

Seven days later, the court's commendation to Yanmen Pass, Yantou was promoted to 'Zhonglang General' because of merit and transferred to Chang'an Yulin as a deputy, Huang Shaohong captured the enemy leader, for this first merit, promoted to Yanmen Captain, took over the Yantou supervision of the repair of the city.

In fact, Huang Shaohong was reluctant to be promoted to deputy lieutenant according to his merits, and it is even more impossible to be directly promoted to lieutenant in normal times.

But the matter of repairing the city is a drudgery, if it cannot be completed on time, he will be asked to be imprisoned, and the wild goose head will be sent to repair the city when he offends people.

But no one was willing to take over the overseer of the city, so it fell on Huang Shaohong, who was promoted to deputy lieutenant by Yantou, or it may be that the above felt that he had to take over such drudgery after his meritorious service, so he simply gave him another level, went to the deputy character, and became a full-time lieutenant.

Yantou was overjoyed, he felt very sorry for Huang Shaohong, he originally wanted to invite credit for him, but it turned out to be a bar, after drinking a send-off wine, after thousands of instructions, he left Yanmen Pass with his own soldiers in tears and went to Chang'an to take up his post.

Yantou didn't know that it was Huang Shaohong's original intention to be in charge of Yanmen, so that he could let go of it.

On this day, someone sent an order from the governor of the state, ordering the captain Huang Shaohong to repair the city wall within fifteen days, otherwise all the slaves who repaired the city would be beheaded, and the person who supervised the work would also be arrested and questioned.

When Huang Shaohong saw this and recalled the plot, he knew that the Roman prince was coming.

He was not worried about the repair of the city, with the addition of the Romans, the city had been almost completed, let alone fifteen days, it would be completely completed in two or three days.

At this time, his trouble was not to repair the city, but to finally face the 100,000 army of Rome.

'Bang Dang'

On this day, when Huang Shaohong was mixing the proportion of gunpowder, the door was pushed open outside, and Huo An broke in.

The mouse was embarrassed on the side: "Shaohong, I can't stop him!" ”

"It's okay, Uncle Mouse, go get busy, I'll talk to him!"

Huang Shaohong smiled and waved his hand to let the mouse go down, and then beckoned Huo An to sit down on the stool opposite.

"Lord Captain, I want to talk to you about Luquis, that child is the little prince of Rome, because he was killed by his brother, he wanted to go to the country of rest to rescue the troops, we Han has always paid attention to turning enemies into friends, peacekeeping and coexistence, I think we ......"

Huang Shaohong frowned and directly interrupted him: "Do you think this Yanmen captain should let you Huo An do it!" ”

After he finished speaking, Huo An was suddenly embarrassed: "I didn't mean that!" ”

"So what do you mean? Now that the court knows that I have 800 Roman captives under my command, what do you think if you let me go? In addition, you didn't ask, what does it mean that they didn't go to the country of rest and came to attack Yanmen Pass? ”

Huo An was a little at a loss and said, "They are here to save that child...... Your Excellency, if you do this, you will destroy the good situation of peaceful coexistence in the Western Regions! ”

"Without a strong force to deter, where will peacekeeping coexistence come from?" Huang Shaohong slapped the table:

"Huo An, let me tell you, the reason why there is a situation of peaceful coexistence in the Western Regions today is that I led the soldiers to fight with a knife and a shot by my generals Weiqing and Huo Quai, do you think that peace depends on your mouth!"

Huo An's face turned red, and his blood vessels protruded, because he was a Huns.

Huang Shaohong's next sentence made Huo An completely erupt, only to hear the former say: "Huo An, you have a preparation, I have already sent someone to bring your wife to Yanmen!" ”

Huo An suddenly got up, and struck Huang Shaohong with a condescending fist: "What do you want to do?" ”

Huang Shaohong sat on the stool, didn't flash, only stretched out one hand and grabbed Huo An's fist, and then pressed down, and the former Western Regions Protector knelt in front of him, and he didn't even have the strength to fight back.

Huo An was taken aback, he had never fought with Huang Shaohong, and he knew that the other party was powerful, but he didn't think that his martial arts that had been tempered for thousands of years would not be able to go in front of others, and in despair, he cried out sadly: "Woe to my family....."

Huang Shaohong said with a smile: "Who wants to trouble your family, sit down and listen to me from the beginning!" ”

After he finished speaking, Huo An took two steps back, and his feet softened, and he sat on the stool again.

Huang Shaohong didn't have any scruples at this time, and directly spoiled Huo An's subordinates 'Yin Po' and the Roman prince Tibes in collusion to occupy the Silk Road, and conquered the state, and did the matter of merging the state too much.

After listening to this, Huo An didn't believe it at all: "No, now my Han country is strong......

Huang Shaohong stretched out his hand to interrupt him: "Because of this, the border is peaceful, and the garrison is extremely limited, take Yanmen Pass as an example, plus those prisoners of war are only 3,000 and ......."

"If Rome raises troops to attack and take Yanmen with lightning speed, it will be ten days and a half months later when the imperial court sends troops, and even if we don't die on the battlefield, losing Yanmen is a capital crime!"

After Huang Shaohong finished speaking, he was still skeptical when he saw Huo An, so he said directly: "You go and ask Luquis, did they let the eldest prince Tibes chase him all the way!" ”

Huo An got up and hurriedly walked out, and after a while, the rat guarding the door walked in: "Shaohong, are you okay?" ”

"It's okay, it's just that Huo An has to come over for a while, don't stop him this time!"

Sure enough, in less than a meal, Huo An pulled Lu Quis and walked in, and said to Huang Shaohong: "Lord Captain, you are right, Lu Quis and they came here, it is likely that their enemies did it on purpose!" ”

Huang Shaohong didn't talk nonsense with him, and said directly to Luquis: "If Tibes comes to attack, I want to fight him to the death, I need your help, if I defeat Tibes, I will cure your little prince's eyes and help him see again!" ”

Even without Huang Shaohong's promise, Luquis would have agreed to this matter, Tibis was also his and the little prince's mortal enemy, and now that there was this moat-like Yanmen Pass, how could he not do it.

After confirming the alliance with Luquis, he said to Huo An on the side: "I heard that you have a lover of the Southern Huns, and I need her help!" ”

"You misunderstood...... We are innocent...... Well, I know how to do it! ”

Under Huang Shaohong's scorching gaze, Huo An couldn't explain anymore, so he could only nod and promise to go to the Southern Huns for help.

Huang Shaohong explained: "There is another matter, that is, the people of other ethnic groups in the city, if they are afraid of instability when the war starts, I will leave this aspect to you!" ”

Huo An nodded and agreed without thinking about it, this was originally his job.

In the following days, Huang Shaohong continued to train the soldiers, but this time there were 800 Roman soldiers led by Luquis to cooperate with the drill.

Huang Shaohong used the tactics of cavalry and guerrilla warfare, randomly sending 100 cavalry against 800 Roman soldiers, and the weapons used by both sides were wooden weapons stained with paint, as long as they hit the enemy, they would leave color.

At first, Lu Quis and Huo An, who was watching the excitement, both shook their heads and laughed, thinking that Huang Shaohong was joking, but when the fight started, both of them were shocked.

Each of the 100 cavalry selected by Huang Shaohong carried these pots of arrows, and then divided into two teams to flank the 800 Roman soldiers from both sides.

One team rode up first, ran into the land of an arrow, and then shot the arrows and left, and when the Roman soldiers began to pursue, the second team pursued and harassed them with arrows in the back.

This one after the other made the Roman soldiers unbearable, and Luquis immediately divided his troops into two ways, and as a result, the Romans' horses did not run as fast as the Dawan horses, and they could not catch up, and they really experienced the power of a classic guerrilla warfare in later generations.

By the time Huang Shaohong announced that he would stop, the cavalry on Luquis's side was completely wiped out, and the infantry became a live target, and the big shield was full of small dots of ink-colored dye shot by arrows.

After the First World War, Luquis and Hoan were convinced, but they still had some concerns, although this tactic was good, but when the manpower was poor, the arrows they carried and the number of times they could open their bows were extremely limited.

These cavalry may be able to 'defeat ten with one' with this set of tactics, but if the enemy attacks with tens of thousands of troops, it may be difficult to defeat.

Huang Shaohong smiled and said, "Don't worry, I still have a secret weapon!" ”

Huo An asked with a black line: "Don't tell me, it's those bottles and cans that you let people collect?" ”

"Ask what to ask, and you'll know when the time comes!"

In fact, Huo An is right, Huang Shaohong has studied the proportion of black powder, and tested a soil mine, he asked people to buy bottles and cans, just to make soil bombs.

In addition, he also exercised the full strength of the captain who defended the city, opened the arsenal, and ordered all the thistles used to defend the city to be moved out and prepared to be added to the earth bomb to increase the power of the explosion.

Don't doubt that there is no thistle terrestris in this era, it is recorded that it has been available in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, so Huang Shaohong took it out and used it.

At this time, he had prepared more than a thousand earth bombs, although they were not many, but when used in conjunction with other defensive means, they would definitely give a great surprise to the Roman army coming from afar.

More than ten days later, the scouts came to report that they had found traces of an alien army ten miles outside the city, and there were at least tens of thousands of enemy troops!

While Huang Shaohong ordered people to light the beacon tower, he let several scouts go out of the city at the same time as quickly as possible, and poisoned the nearby water source respectively.

Then he himself immediately led his cavalry to attack, and by this time he had already collected the three or four hundred cavalry under Luquis, and barely managed to gather more than two thousand horsemen.

Taking advantage of the defenselessness of Tibes, Huang Shaohong led the cavalry to rush up with two rounds of arrow rain, killing hundreds of opponents and then turning around and retreating.

Tibes was furious and immediately let the Roman cavalry pursue, which turned out to be in the hands of Huang Shaohong.

The Roman side originally came from afar, not to mention the fatigue and lack of horses, and the horses were not as good as the Dawan horses, so they could only follow the hooves of the Han army and eat ashes.

When the Roman cavalry couldn't catch up and turned back, Huang Shaohong took the cavalry to turn around and release a rain of arrows.

After repeating this two or three times, the cavalry on the Roman side had suffered nearly 2,000 casualties, and Huang Shaohong's side did not even have a single wounded.

When the horses leaped into Yanmen Pass, all the cavalry cheered at the same time.

Huang Shaohong laughed, and at the same time gave an order: "Close the city gate and prepare for defense!" ”

Tibes' army had just arrived at the city, and he was going to play some intrigue or something, waiting for his ally 'Yin Po' to come and deceive the pass, and then offer the Yanmen Pass with both hands.

As a result, the spies came to report that the surrounding water source was suspected of being poisoned, don't ask them how they know, the fish are floating up, and they are not blind!

The Romans barely had enough water to drink for two days, so Tibis decided to fight quickly and began to siege the city.

But they came from afar, without any large siege weapons, so they could only let the large group of men and horses out of the range of arrows, and then let the tortoiseshell formation of the infantry legion protect the crashing wood and rush to the city gate.

Huang Shaohong was not even willing to use this kind of offensive to roll wood and stones, and directly let people pour the hot gold juice down, and what kind of tortoiseshell array could not hold the bow and arrow, and the dung soup could not be placed.

Sure enough, the first wave of Tibes' offensive failed.

Immediately afterwards, Tibes had people dig tunnels on one side, and on the other side, people made local materials to make ladders and prepare for a full-scale siege.

Early the next morning, the general attack of the Romans began, and dozens of ladders were carried by the infantry corps towards the city walls.

Huang Shaohong planned to let them climb for a while, so he didn't use earth mines, but chose a more gentle rain of arrows, rolling wood and stones, and hot and fluffy gold juice to entertain the guests.

In this way, the Romans suffered numerous casualties.

But the Roman side had an army of 100,000, and the advantage was too obvious, and when he saw that someone was about to climb the city, Huang Shaohong lit a soil mine and threw it at the city over there.

With a loud bang, the thistle burst open, and the distance of ten meters below the ladder was cleared, and there were broken arms and stumps everywhere, and the ladder was also directly broken.

Huang Shaohong saw that the density of the Roman soldiers below could be dried, and greeted Huo An, Luquis and others, who were stupid: "Throw it, wait to give birth to a baby for the Romans!" ”

"Oh!" Hoan took a mine and threw it down, killing a Roman soldier directly.

"Light the fire and throw it!" Huang Shaohong almost vomited blood by this thing, and personally demonstrated a 'boom' and blew up again.

Dozens of ladders were blown up in the blink of an eye, and the Romans left nearly 10,000 corpses behind this time.

The horn sounded, the Roman soldiers began to retreat, Huang Shaohong immediately took his cavalry out to pick up cheap, all the way to cover up, and finally the Romans left 20,000 corpses and retreated thirty miles to find a water source.
