In this way, Great Xia has subdued the four kingdoms of Jingjing, Jimo, Khotan, and Chechi, and it has no other prestige for a while, shaking the entire Dongsheng Shenzhou. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoBoyan has faintly sat on the position of the first general in Great Xia, and his reputation in China is soaring, and he has won the support and worship of the people.

After dealing with these matters, Boyan immediately reorganized his armament and prepared to fight again. Just when everyone thought that he would extend his sharp sword to the Shache country west of Khotan, Boyan ordered the army to suddenly kill a horse gun and attack Guqiang, who had been put aside for a long time.

The Guqiang people were depressed.

At first, they thought that the Xia people's target was them, so they strictly prepared for war, generally conscripted troops, cobbled together an army of 50,000 people, and even played a slogan of jade shattering, calling on the people of the whole country to live and die with the country. didn't want Great Xia to conquer the four countries around him one after another, but he ignored Guqiang.

King Guqiang came back to his senses and figured out that Boyan wanted to use him as a cover in exchange for the neglect of other countries' war preparedness. The pressure of life and death had gone, and the country was immediately divided into two factions, one insisted on continuing to resist Bactria and the other called for peace talks with Bactria with all its might.

Hawkish ****, no matter in which country, will exist.

The king is not a mediocre person, he naturally understands that Boyan is not doing it now because the time is not ripe, and Daxia intends to annex the entire territory of the Western Regions, so how can he let him go. But he still pretended to send an envoy to Boyan's army to ask for peace talks, in a vain attempt to paralyze Boyan's nerves, and also play a trick.

Boyan only replied to the envoy lightly, which made his face pale, and he couldn't say a word anymore, what Boyan said was: "On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to sleep soundly!"

The envoy was about to return to China to report the news, but Boyan called out dozens of swords and axes to kill all the envoys, and then the army immediately marched towards Guqiang.

But the war did not go as smoothly as Boyan expected.

The 100,000 people of the Northwest Army arrived in Guqiang, and attacked the city all the way, but when they arrived at the city of Guqiang, they found that the city was not easy to attack. Because this is a city with impregnable walls and perfect defense system.

Boyan watched the battle in the rear of the army, and saw that in the past few months, the Guqiang State had poured all the strength of the whole country to strengthen war preparedness, increased the wall of the capital to 50 zhang and thickened it to 10 zhang, poured molten iron on the city wall, and turned the entire city wall into an iron plate. He also set up hundreds of urn city arrow battlements all over the city, gathered 30,000 people to defend the city desperately, and even erected more than a dozen bed crossbows.

This bed crossbow is the most terrible kind of crossbow bow, it is seven or eight zhang long, three zhang wide, it can be pulled with the power of the machine, and it is equipped with a fine iron crossbow arrow of ten zhang long, once it is shot, its strength is like a landslide, Xia Bing Dan Fan was shot by the bed crossbow, and was shocked into minced meat by the power of the crossbow arrow in an instant. Although the efficiency of this thing is not high, the deterrent power is too great, even with the morale of the Northwest Army, it is actually worried about this crossbow.

If you can't take it in the short term, you must find a way to cut off the waterways and grain channels of the people who defend the city, but this Guqiang capital has enough groundwater, and the city has hoarded grain and grass that can be consumed for ten years, and it can't be cut off at all.

Seeing that this loss-making business could not be done any longer, Boyan immediately ordered the army to camp on the spot, but he discussed countermeasures with the officers and soldiers in the army.

Everyone never thought that the Hu people, who were good at cavalry, actually put on a posture of defending the city, and they defended it in a good way, and there was no good strategy for a while. When Boyan hesitated, he heard a report from the soldiers, saying that the emperor's elite forces drawn from the border guards of the Great Xia Fourth Road had arrived and were waiting for Boyan's entry order.

Boyan was overjoyed, and said in his heart that when the army was depressed, 40,000 reinforcements came, which was really good news to boost morale. That is, he went out with the generals of the army to meet him.

Wang Yangming saw from afar that a general in the 40,000 reinforcements was looking forward to visiting, and the moment he saw Wang Yangming, the man stepped forward, jumped off the horse and hugged him fiercely, and cheered in his mouth: "Brother Wang, I want to hurt my brother!"

Wang Yangming thought to himself that as an old acquaintance, his ability to march and fight was naturally needless to say, but he couldn't compare to this ability to be a man. Look at his tearful expression, how much in place, how real, how natural! Actor, definitely actor!

This person is none other than the famous general under Yuan Chonghuan of the Zhenbei Army, the world's first formation, a person who can speak well, Qi Jiguang is also.

After the two said goodbye, Qi Jiguang hurriedly greeted Boyan. Boyan invited the top generals in the four reinforcements into the account, first welcomed them greatly, and then wished Emperor Hongwu a long health together, and then explained the current situation to the generals, and asked everyone if they had any clever strategies to break the city.

Siege has always been the most difficult thing to do in a marching battle, not to mention that this time it is such an impregnable city, and everyone has no way to do it for a while.

Seeing that everyone was speechless, Boyan was slightly depressed in his heart, he saw that Qi Jiguang was pondering, called him, and said: "General Qi, you are the favorite general of Yuan Chonghuan, Yuan is the world's famous general, the so-called strong generals have no weak soldiers, I also know that you are the master of the art of war in the world, I don't know what good strategies you have?"

Qi Jiguang heard that Boyan thought so highly of himself, and hurriedly humbled himself, but frowned and said: "Since I came to attack the city, there are many hard battles. What we encountered this time can be said to be a bitter battle within a bitter battle, but fortunately, we are ten times more powerful than the enemy, and the supply of food and grass is endless, so we can spend a while with them. But if we still don't have any good plans after ten days and half a month, I'm afraid that the morale of the army will be frustrated. ”

Boyan naturally understood that what he said made sense, but he was unwilling to give up like this, so at this time, Wang Yangming stepped forward and said, "Dashuai, I have a word." ”

Boyan's eyes lit up: "Come quickly." ”

Everyone in the field looked at Wang Yangming, not knowing what the clever plan of this four-product Huaihua Zhonglang who was in the limelight at the moment would be, and listened to Wang Yangming say: "I will raise one person to the big handsome, and with the help of this person, Guqiang will break the city just around the corner." ”

Hearing his words, the audience was quiet for a while, and everyone looked at him curiously, wondering who he was talking about, and what magical ability could solve problems that no one could solve.

Wang Yangming looked at Boyan steadily, and slowly reported a name: "Archimedes." ”

Boyan frowned, he didn't want to, but since Wang Yangming said so, Boyan couldn't refute it, so he had to say: "In this way, you go to him, if he is willing to help and can succeed, I will give him a position as a staff member of the Northwest Army." ”

Wang Yangming received the order and immediately went to see Archimedes reading in the tent. Wang Yangming asked, "Sir, are you satisfied with the books I shipped back to you?"

It turned out that Wang Yangming knew that Archimedes was obsessed with books, and he was still reading books with the knife on his neck, so after destroying the essence, he sent someone to transport all Archimedes' collection of books to the Northwest Army garrison.

Archimedes said lightly: "I am very happy, thank you general." ”

Although he said that he was grateful, there was no expression of gratitude on his face. Wang Yangming didn't care about his cold look, but walked in front of him, sat down slowly, looked directly at him and said, "Nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, I came today to ask you." ”

Archimedes raised his head lightly and asked lightly, "What's the matter?"

"I have promised you to Marshal Boyan, if you can find a way to take the capital of Guqiang Kingdom within a month, you will become the first staff and think tank of my entire Northwest Army. ”

Archimedes laughed, not paying any attention to Wang Yangming.

Wang Yangming had guessed that this was the result, and he was not discouraged, he said sincerely: "I know that Mr. is not a vulgar person, and I also know that although the essence is extinguished, you still regard yourself as a peerless person, and you can't convince yourself to contribute to my Great Xia, but I still have the shame to come here, please come out of the mountain." ”

Archimedes, who had said this, raised his head and looked at Wang Yangming with some curiosity, thinking to himself that since this young man had already understood my thoughts, did he not understand that he could not persuade me no matter what?

"Sir is the world's first mathematician, and his arithmetic skills have reached the pinnacle, and if this knowledge cannot produce real things, it is useless. Since then, he has buried his head in the pile of old papers, and all the knowledge in his belly has been buried, which is a pity. ”

Archimedes showed a mocking smile, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to be laughing at Wang Yangming's shallowness: "It's a pity to use this knowledge to attack the city for your Xia people and create boundless killings?"

Wang Yangming sighed softly, stood up, and said gloomily: "I regard Mr. as a celestial, so there are some things I am willing to tell you," he stared into Archimedes' eyes, and slowly said the truest thoughts in his heart:

"I'm tired of war. ”
