"Pull it down!"

Seeing Xu Shuo admit the punishment, King Yan directly waved his hand to drive people away.

The next moment, the Judge Advocate General's Office immediately stepped forward and several people, two of them carried Xu Shuo to the side, and the other few people carried sticks and followed.

In a short time, the sound of sticks hitting the board from stick to meat was heard.

This board is sturdy.

Xu Shuo's old injuries were healed, and new injuries were added, and after fifty boards, everyone was about to be wasted, and he was directly carried down by his own soldiers.

"An Taigong is like this, it is not suitable to continue to stay in the army!"

"As for how to deal with him, it is inconvenient for this king to take the idea without authorization, send it back to the capital, and hand it over to the saint to decide!"

When King Yan thought of Xu Huairen's appearance as a man and a woman, he felt disgusted from the bottom of his heart.

In addition, he didn't have a good impression of the nest of Xu Mansion in the first place, so he naturally wouldn't fly to help investigate why Xu Huairen became like this.

It's none of his business anyway!

"Newspaper—"

"Yellow Wind Outlet Good News!"

As soon as he finished talking about the method of disposing of Xu Huairen, the Duke of Antai, King Yan was about to discuss the way to fight the Northern Barbarian army, when a surprise shout from the herald came from outside.

"Good news—"

"Huang Fengkou has a great victory, beheading five thousand, and beheading the little prince of the Northern Barbarians, Tuoba Hun!"

"20,000 war horses were captured, 10,000 horses were captured, and countless grains and grass were loaded!"

Just when the war started, there was such a big victory, which is simply a good start!

Despite the lack of a signal from King Yan, the herald knew that he had to make a big noise.

Hearing the loud shouts of the heralds, the generals of the Northwest Town Army present were a little dumbfounded.

Yellow tuyere's victory?

Just rely on the 5,000 garrison troops from Xiangyi Mansion to support them?

The little prince of the Northern Barbarians, Tuobahun, was also beheaded?

In Xu Laoer's opinion, Tuoba Hun, who is as weak as a little chicken, is a real hard bone in the eyes of many generals of the Northwest Town Army.

Tuoba Hun is one of the strong contenders for the future Northern Barbarian King.

He commanded 10,000 cavalry, one man and three horses, coming and going like the wind, and was known as a good warlord in the Northern Barbarians.

But such a person was beheaded, and more than half of the 10,000 horsemen under his command were lost......

"Your Highness, Xiao Yilang let the little one take the words, saying that you want a war horse? Give you a friendly price! ”

"How much?"

"Two million taels, with grain and grass, at least a month's food!"

The herald cautiously said the so-called friendship price of Old Man Xu.

As soon as King Yan heard this number, he immediately understood why it was this number, and his brows furrowed.

As a result, the generals of the Northwest Town Army were in a hurry.

"Your Highness, this deal is too good a deal!"

"Your Highness, it's done!"

"Buy!"

"Buy!"

"Your Highness, the silver, we can give half of it!"

The Northwest Town Army is a border army of the Tang Dynasty facing the Northern Barbarians, and the demand for war horses is the greatest. Because of the war with the Northern Barbarians, if the war horse can't keep up, it can only be beaten passively many times.

These 20,000 war horses are all war horses under the command of the little prince Tuoba Hun, which are good horses that can be bought and put into battle.

Don't say two million taels, even if you add another 500,000 taels, or even one million taels, it is not a loss.

War horses, in times of war, are a real strategic resource.

With Datang's advanced weapons and equipment, as long as it is equipped with enough war horses, what is Beiban?

The Northern Barbarians fought with the Tang Dynasty, relying on nothing more than the benefits of war horses.

"Then buy it!"

"Summons the household department and ask them to prepare the silver!"

"Here in Longxi Mansion, how much silver do we have in our hands? Hurry up, take inventory, and get the war horse back first! ”

With 20,000 war horses, King Yan suddenly felt that he was still riding with a whirlwind to the hinterland of the Northern Barbarians. Directly stubborn, he will completely destroy the prestige of the Northern Barbarians this time.

Once, 3,000 whirlwinds rode 30,000 Northern Barbarian cavalry, which once made the Northern Barbarians frightened.

Now, he can pull up 30,000 cavalry in his hands.

Three thousand whirlwind riders are the arrows, he wants to defeat the camp of the Northern Barbarian King head-on, completely break the courage of the Northern Barbarians, he wants to plow the court and sweep the caves, and the army will kill the Northern Barbarian King's Court and completely destroy the Northern Barbarians.

……

The Great Camp of the Northern Barbarians.

On a flat land less than thirty miles away from the military camp in the northwest town, there are countless camps that stretch for many miles, and countless felt bag camp tents are densely distributed.

The heart of the camp, in the midst of the great king's tent.

The Northern Barbarian King sat quietly on the felt of the fur, and the expression on his face was expressionless.

Just now, the news of the death of the little prince Tuobahun came.

The person who sent the news was a personal guard next to the little prince Tuobahun, who killed himself directly on the spot after reporting the news, and the body was still lying on the ground of the king's tent.

Around this corpse, the rest of the sons of the Northern Barbarian King had serious expressions.

Although Tuobahun was a strong contender for their throne, they were also clear about how strong Tuobahun's strength was.

Tuobahun was killed in battle, and most of the 10,000 horsemen under his command were lost, and the army was defeated.

Countless eight-bull crossbows!

There is also a fierce general Xu Yuanba who dares to face ten thousand horses alone!

"Xu Yuanba, who is it?"

"This king wants to know!"

The Northern Barbarian King suddenly stood up, "Pass on the king's order, I, the Northern Barbarian warrior, no matter who it is, whoever takes Xu Yuanba's life, seal ten thousand households, reward ten thousand gold, and marry the king!" ”

"Besides, Huang Fengkou, who will take it?"

"Father, the child wants to go!"

Many princes and Northern Barbarian generals standing in the king's tent heard the Northern Barbarian King's question, and when they were thinking about it, the seventh prince of the Northern Barbarians, Tuoba Lie, stood up.

Tuoba Lie and Tuoba Hun were born of the same mother.

Tuoba died, and it was reasonable for Tuoba Lie to come forward to avenge him.

The Northern Barbarian King immediately nodded and said, "No matter what method you use, as long as this king wins, take the Yellow Wind Mouth, this king will make you the crown prince!" ”

"If you can't take the yellow wind outlet, you will die there!"

"The child will not let his father down!"

Tuoba Lie immediately spoke in a deep voice, "Father, the soldiers are fast, the child is leaving!" ”

"Go ahead!"

The Northern Barbarian King waved his hand and watched Tuoba Lie leave the king's tent.

……

Huangfengkou Pass, Old Man Xu didn't know that Tuoba Lie, the seventh prince of the Northern Barbarians, was on the way to revenge.

Even if he knew, he was not afraid at all.

As long as the Northern Barbarians can't break the Eight Bull Crossbow Formation, then, no matter how many people they come, all of them will deliver food.

Compared with the solemn atmosphere on the side of the Northwest Town Army, the Huangfengkou Pass is peaceful.

After a big victory, many Datang merchants came, all of whom came for the spoils of war.

War horses, horses, and leather goods of the Northern Barbarians......

Anyway, there is nothing that these merchants don't want.

It's a pity that the war horse was taken down by King Yan.

It's a horse, and some can still be sold.

As for the bargaining matter, Old Man Xu directly threw it to Boss Xu.

And Xu Lao Er took people to walk their horses outside the pass every day, and took a look to see when the people and horses of the Northern Barbarians would come again.

……

Lingshui Village, the old Xu family.

Fu Bao discussed with his third brother for several days, and finally let her think of a trick.

There is no way to get a large amount of gunpowder, after all, the shameless founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty Taizu has cut off the life of the latecomers.

However, a small amount of gunpowder can still be used.

Of course, you can't do this by yourself, you have to find someone to take the blame.

The living are not suitable.

Eventually, Fu Bao took aim at his grandmother, who had passed away.

Zhao Bingzhi only sent all the relics of Old Man Xu's mother to Lingshui Village a few days ago, including the diary of Fubao, the grandmother.

The diary of pure pinyin, except for the traverser, is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to read.

So, while no one was paying attention, Fu Bao hid a drawing among his grandmother's relics.

She succeeded in drawing with charcoal, and imitated the handwriting of her grandmother to write down the recipe for black powder.

Then, he accidentally damaged the artifact, thus exposing the drawing.

The rest of the matter has nothing to do with Fu Bao.

His diligent and studious third brother spent a few days to configure the black powder, although the formula was very problematic. But it can be fried and burned, and it can be regarded as formed gunpowder.

In order to further enlighten her third brother, Fu Bao deliberately let this semi-mature gunpowder explode firecrackers, frightening her third brother's beloved "Zhaoyu Night Lion".

Seeing that his beloved Zhaoyu Night Lion was frightened, Xu Laosan first became angry, and then his face was surprised.

The research has started again!

……

Step by step, under the inducement of Fu Bao, Xu Laosan successfully made a cannon battle.

It's just too simple and crude!

The bamboo tube is hollowed out, black powder is poured in, and then it is lit.

Boom!

The gunpowder exploded, the bamboo tube exploded, the sound was loud and not to mention, the broken bamboo fragments that shattered and flew out, the lethality was also very great.

"Haha, it's done, it's done!"

"Little sister, you are really our family's blessing bag!"

Xu Laosan jumped up excitedly, planning to spread the good news to his father as soon as possible.

Originally, he stayed in Lingshui Village to take care of the family, but now, because of the invention of black powder and firecrackers, Mrs. Xu immediately made a decision and asked Xu Laosan to go to Huangfengkou.

Xu Laosan is naturally 100,000 willing.

Fight brothers, go into battle as father and son soldiers.

His father, his eldest brother, and second brother all went to the battlefield, and he was alone at home, although he was more of a literati, but he also practiced martial arts. An ordinary man, he can also fight three or five.

"Xianggong, you must be careful, be careful!"

Knowing that Xu Laosan was also going to Huangfengkou in Longxi Mansion, the Wang family cried miserably.

But Wang also understands that at this time, she can't hold back.

"Lady, don't worry, your father-in-law and I are Wenqu Xing, and I have the protection of atmospheric luck to ensure the safe return of my son!"

Xu Laosan walked quickly.

After all, this is a big killer related to the battle situation, and it may be a good thing that can turn the tide.

Of course, this thing is not as good as the thunder and fire, and the impact it can cause is not necessarily worse than the thunder and fire.

Not long after Xu Laosan left Lingshui Village, Zhao Bingzhi received the news.

"You mean, Xu Laosan found a piece of paper from my eldest sister's relics and made something particularly powerful?"

Zhao Bingzhi glared and looked at Zhao Rui, who came to report the news to him.

Zhao Rui nodded.

"Impossible!"

Zhao Bingzhi jumped up, "My sister's relics, I have carefully examined all the things, and I haven't hidden anything!" ”
