The 10,000 defenders, on the scale of Jiuding City, are not even satisfied with the city walls, how can they defend it? Not to mention that among the more than 10,000 defenders, more than the average are new soldiers, and their combat effectiveness is completely unimaginable.

"There's no way, there are only 10,000 soldiers and horses, or did they come together later...... I was ready to retreat, but I didn't expect ...... I didn't expect you to come back alive!"

Yao Qiang looked at Qin Shaofu in front of him and was very surprised. The assassination on the land of Liaodong shocked the world, Qin Shaofu was taken away by unknown figures, and the imperial court has not said anything until now.

After the Battle of the Deer River Valley, he also gained a great reputation, and by the way, he received a lot of credits and officially began to embark on a career in office.

Now he is a feudal general, Wupin, and was transferred by Huangfu Changqing to take charge of the military affairs of Jiuding City a year ago. It can be said that if Qin Shaofu did not come back, he would have the final say in Jiuding City during this period, even if it was Lord Shibai, who was the fourth grade of the official residence, he would have to listen.

It is also thanks to him that he is here, otherwise Qin Shaofu has no token in his body, and he may not be able to control Jiuding City so quickly.

"There's nothing unexpected!" Qin Shaofu said: "My life is very hard! Now is not the time to discuss this, the number of people and horses of the northern nomads is estimated at 350,000. Although there are many people who are now restrained in Tongling Pass, I believe that they will soon come towards Jiuding City. ”

"I would like some constructive comments...... Don't mention abandoning the city and fleeing, this is my only fiefdom, if it's all lost, how can I see people. And what I can tell you is that once the nomads occupy Jiuding City, it will definitely be a disaster for the Great Han Dynasty, and it will even become a fatal blow. ”

All sides were pinned, and the nomads were like a sharp sword hanging over the head of the Great Han Dynasty. There is no danger to defend in the Jibei Plain, and the nomads with supplies and retreats will burst out with unimaginable combat effectiveness...... even smashed the Yellow Dragon and killed the capital.

Yao Qiang shook his head: "I really can't think of any constructive suggestions, in order to curb King Xia over the years, the Great Han Dynasty has deliberately led the people of the Jibei Plain to the south, and it is already quite difficult for me to gather these ten thousand soldiers and horses...... Actually......"

I opened my mouth and stopped, but finally I didn't say it.

"Actually, His Majesty the Emperor is not at ease with my rule of Jiuding City, right?"

Qin Shaofu said what he wanted to say and stopped: "This is not something that is difficult to say, there is no emperor in the world who will rest assured of the feudal officials, I just do what I think should be done." Look there......"

Pointing ahead, there was the huge bronze tripod.

"Do you know? This tripod is the tripod cast by Emperor Dayu back then, representing the glory of our descendants of Yan and Huang. If we withdraw, this will fall into the hands of the nomads. If you also see yourself as a hero, what kind of face will you live in the world? ”

Yao Qiang was solemn, and nodded again: "I understand." Although the odds of success are slim, I will do my best. I applied to the imperial court for the transfer of troops and horses a long time ago, but unfortunately I was rejected...... Because there is constant fighting in various places, it is necessary to be ready to support other places at any time. ”

"But the imperial court still approved a large amount of gunpowder flying stones from the Tianji camp, which can be used to defend the city, calculate the time, and it should be able to arrive the day after tomorrow. ”

"Gunpowder Flying Stone?" Qin Shaofu suddenly raised his eyebrows: "Tianji Battalion, is there such a place?"

Yao Qiang hurriedly explained: "This Tianji Camp was established by His Majesty the Emperor, and Master Yunmozi of Langshan and his subordinate branch disciples were invited to be responsible for making special weapons. ”

It was actually Yun Mozi's handwriting, Qin Shaofu suddenly became interested, and hurriedly asked, "How many?"

In the battle of Deer River Valley that year, if it weren't for Luo Sledgehammer preparing gunpowder in advance, it would not have been successful at all. If the amount is enough this time, it is really possible to do miraculous work.

"Two thousand thunderbolts!" Yao Qiang said: "The cost of this thing is too high, and there are not too many in the Tianji Battalion, this time it is said that half of it has been transferred." ”

"Two thousand!" Qin Shaofu frowned slightly: "You have seen the power of the thunder, how big is it?"

"The power of the past is half, but now after being improved by Yun Mozi, the power is very great!" Yao Qiang said: "With only forty pieces, it should be able to turn the palace into ruins." ”

If so, the power is really not small...... But Qin Shaofu was thinking about another thing.

Nomads are not idiots, and it is impossible to be like the royal palace, standing different and letting themselves blow up. The number of two thousand seems to be a lot, but when you really use it, you need one less than one. If you are full of calculations, 2,000 thunderbolts can kill 100,000 nomadic soldiers and horses, which is quite good.

"Hey!"

Yao Qiang suddenly sighed again: "There is another very troublesome thing, the thunder seems to be easy to use, but if you are not a trained person, it is easy to panic when you suddenly encounter that kind of thing." Even if it doesn't cause self-detonation, I'm afraid the effect will be limited. ”

It's really worse...... Qin Shaofu suddenly felt that if he just used the Thunder Thunder normally, there was a chance that Jiuding City would not be able to hold it, and he needed to think of a way.

He sat down on the side, closed his eyes, and his mind kept flashing everything in the Jibei Plain, as well as the information he knew about the nomads, trying to find a place in the middle as a breakthrough point.

But how could this breakthrough point be easily found, he thought about many places, but there was no way.

The disparity in strength was too great, and he didn't plant the seeds of fear in the second prince of the nomadic tribe back then, so he couldn't affect him at all......

Normal methods don't work, so try in other directions.

Qin Shaofu diverged his thinking to the extreme, and it was difficult to gain from all kinds of angles, and every time there was a little sign, he would be vetoed by reality again.

Gradually, everything between Jiuding City and Tongling Pass became digital.

Distance, forage, season, climate...... Everything was demonstrated in his mind, reasoning about all possible situations.

Gradually, not only the dead things, but also the people and the army became numbers in his mind, which were used to analyze the maximum combat power and the lowest degree of defense that Jiuding City could achieve.

After thinking so deeply for a night, it was not until the early morning of the next day that a decision was finally made, and someone called Yao Qiang in.

Seeing that Qin Shaofu seemed to have a sense of ease between his eyebrows, Yao Qiang hurriedly asked, "Has Uncle Dingyuan thought of a way?"

"That's right!"

Qin Shaofu nodded: "The nomadic Xinying is heading south to investigate the news, once it is clear, the army will inevitably come." I'll find a way to stop Shin Hawk, and I'll have to leave the affairs of the city to you. ”

Yao Qiang hurriedly said: "Uncle Dingyuan, please speak!"

"You first bring out your most descendant soldiers and horses separately, about three thousand, in a group of five hundred, and go out of the city from the south gate every night, and enter the city in the two directions of north, east, north, and west during the day. ”

"Then divide the soldiers and horses in the city into a team of 1,000 people, dig tunnels in the city overnight, and say that they are ready to fight with the nomads in the streets. ”

"Gather the people, collect the wood and oil in the city, and keep it for the ...... to defend the city"

“......”

Qin Shaofu was not in a hurry, he commanded one by one, his eyes flashing with jumping flames, extremely enthusiastic.
