Chapter 164: Wait and See

In the combat command center, from the beginning of the Hu people's attack, Qian Yu's eyes have never left the city wall, after the Hu people retreated, he wanted to laugh and joke with Liu Shijun, but he couldn't say a word, it was really dangerous just now, just a little bit.

During this time, the gunpowder workshop under the cave mountain had been producing gunpowder, and he replaced the bamboo cylinder that would be used to hold the gunpowder with an iron shell. As a result, the simple bamboo tube bomb has its upgraded version - melon grenade!

The melon grenade is much more powerful than a simple bamboo bomb, and apart from the gunpowder explosion and shock wave, the explosion of iron pieces on the outside of the grenade is more deadly. If you are unlucky, it is not impossible to be killed by the chest within ten zhang.

If this thing was used in the cave at that time, no matter how high Lin Shishi's kung fu was, it would be difficult to escape the fate of Xiang Xiaoyu. Qian Yu still remembers Liu Shijun's dumbfounded expression when he first saw the melon grenade explode.

With such a sharp weapon in hand, coupled with his unique design of the city wall structure, Qian Yu believed that no one could break through his defenses, and before the war began, the only thing he worried about was the soldiers defending the city fleeing without a fight.

Facts have proved that the professionalism of the soldiers in Qingfeng County is much higher than Qian Yu imagined, and the only loophole he arranged is the number of melon grenades.

In fact, in Qian Yu's calculations, two large baskets of grenades can last for a while, but he ignores people's panic.

No matter who it is, in the face of an overwhelming number of enemies, the explosion is absolutely unparalleled energy.

As a result, the weapon that Qian Yu worked so hard to create to kill the enemy was consumed in large quantities as if he didn't need money.

Fortunately, the leader of the Hu people failed to bear it at the critical moment, first Mingjin withdrew his troops, if they insisted on a stick of incense, it would be difficult to say whether they would win or lose.

Liu Shijun looked at Qian Yu beside him in a daze, from his point of view, he could clearly see that the sweat on Qian Yu's neck kept flowing, and he could feel Qian Yu's nervousness.

However, at this time, Liu Shijun didn't underestimate Qian Yu at all, the intensity of the battle just now, he followed his grandfather to fight in the south and north for so many years, let alone see it, he had never heard of it.

If there was no Qian Yu, without him discovering the sneak attack of the Hu people in time, without the melon grenade he made, and without his encouragement at the critical moment, I am afraid that Qingfeng County would have fallen.

If Qingfeng County is breached, the entire Datong Mansion will fall into a state of erosion, and the balance that the emperor has established with great difficulty in Beijing will probably be broken again.

If the Hu people fight Datong again, then the Jingshi ......

******

Hu Ren Wang Tent!

The Moon Wolf King's expression was as calm as water, as if the battle just now was just an illusion!

But those who know him know that every time the king behaves quietly, the more angry he becomes.

No one dared to speak, including Ankesu, who was most valued by the Moon Wolf King, who was slightly wrong at the moment, and was very likely to be pulled out to sacrifice the flag and become the target of the Moon Wolf King's venting.

Finally, the Moon Wolf King closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and asked, "Has the damage been calculated?" ”

Ankesu took a step forward, and his tone was sad and low: "The statistics are out, although the battle time is only half an hour, our grassland warriors have suffered heavy casualties, and there are 6,832 people killed in direct battle, 1,754 seriously wounded, and those who are lightly injured...... Countless! ”

"Slap ......" marked the king's power, and the green wolf jade seal was thrown to the ground by the Moon Wolf King, and it was broken into five or six pieces in an instant, he grabbed Ankesu's collar and roared loudly: "Half an hour, nearly seven thousand dead, nearly two thousand seriously injured?" They are not cats and dogs, they are the bravest warriors of my subordinates, and they accompany me on my expedition to the east and west, and they are invincible...... And now you're telling me they're all dead?

A small county town of Qingfeng, with less than 2,000 people, can cause us such a large number of casualties, can anyone tell me why? Why??? ”

Ankesu waited for the Moon Wolf King to finish roaring, and then said with a bitter face: "The other party has a very powerful weapon in his hand, shaped like a melon, and when it explodes, the sky will crack, and there will be no grass within a radius of five zhang. ”

Wang took a deep breath, and the person seemed to calm down: "I remember that we received this information before we left the royal court, right?" ”

Ankesu smiled bitterly: "Yes, it's just that in the battle a few days ago, the Great Chinese have been hiding this killer weapon, and we have misestimated the power of this thing." This is Anxu's negligence, please punish the king. ”

The king was silent again, and Anksu said that he was negligent, so how could he not be negligent? He is actually largely responsible for the current situation.

Ankesu suddenly said: "King, we have suffered such heavy casualties, the other party will definitely not be happy, if we attack now, maybe we can take Qingfeng County in one fell swoop." ”

The Moon Wolf King's heart moved, he had been observing the battlefield situation just now, before the Great Chinese gave him the order to retreat, the firepower was obviously insufficient, but the casualties on his side were too heavy at that time, so he hurriedly gave the order to retreat.

He also thought that if he persisted for a while, maybe it would be a new world, but if he did this, would he really succeed?

The commander of the opposing side is so clever that whenever he thinks he is about to win, he will come up with a new method, and who can guarantee that the opponent will not have any new hole cards except for that terrifying iron ball explosives?

Looking at the wounded soldiers leaning against each other outside the camp tent, and the extremely low morale, he didn't dare to gamble.

"The most important thing for us now is to heal the wounded soldiers and restore their morale, not to think about attacking."

Ankesu was stunned: "But what about the city opposite?" If they are given a chance, they will definitely recover in the shortest possible time, and they will ...... when the time comes."

The Moon Wolf King smiled: "Not necessarily, as long as you wait for a few days, maybe Qingfeng County will be self-defeating." ”

Ankesu suddenly thought of something: "You mean ......"

The Moon Wolf King nodded, and Anxu, who had received an affirmative answer, suddenly smiled, if what the king said was true, it was definitely more certain than if they were reckless and reckless now.

In fact, the judgment of the Moon Wolf King and Ankesu was not wrong, if they chose to attack at this moment, even if it was just a temptation, Qian Yu would not have a good way.

After a long period of hard fighting, especially at the last moment, the Hu people had been in close contact with the soldiers of Qingfeng County, and the confidence that the soldiers had built up with great difficulty had completely collapsed.

And even if the Moon Wolf King chose to wait, Qian Yu was still anxious.

After the war, whether it is the city wall or weapons, they need to be repaired and replenished as soon as possible, and Qian Yu alone will never be busy.

However, Qian Yu couldn't care about these problems, and he threw all his love to Liu Shijun. Because there is one thing that can only be solved by him personally, and that is the wounded.

In the battle a few days ago, there were casualties on Qian Yu's side, but because the casualties were not large, he didn't pay too much attention.

But this time was different, in the final attack, although the Hu people suffered heavy casualties, Qian Yu was not happy, if the casualty rate is counted, more than half of the soldiers have been injured.

With such a large number of casualties, for a ragtag army, it is already on the verge of collapse, and the slightest disturbance can cause a mutiny.

Qian Yu tried to send medical soldiers to treat their injuries, but the result was that the resistance of these people was very serious, and the medical soldiers would be held down and beaten by them if their attitude was a little tougher.

They didn't believe they could be rescued, and their eyes were full of despair.
