Yuan Chonghuan said, and glanced at Zu Dashou.

The latter, as the general who defended the city, was more adept at fighting in close quarters, and he also knew more about the practical use of cavalry, so he nodded and said: "Strengthen the city, with cannons." It was Yuan Shuai who thought hard about it and thought out that it was the only way to restrain the Jiannu cavalry.

Facts have proved that this is right, our army has achieved a great victory against Jiannu that has never been achieved before, and also bombarded the Nu chieftain, making his life and death uncertain.

However, even if the marshal spares no expense to let you bring some cannons away, these big guys can indeed move quickly, but there is no strong city to worry about on Huadao.

Therefore, unless you can come up with a way to effectively restrain the Jiannu cavalry without fortifying the city, the commander and a certain will fully support you in rushing to the aid of Juehua.

Maybe you, the mysterious boy who keeps surprising us, can really create another miracle, following the great victory of Ningyuan, and obtain the great victory of Juehua, including Jiannu and Mongolia, which will shake the whole world.

Is it just possible? No way! Since ancient times, cavalry has been recognized as the strongest class of troops! If it is so easy to restrain it, my Central Plains Dynasty has been in the country for thousands of years, and there is no need to suffer from the nomadic tribes outside the Saiwai! ”

When Zu Dashou said this, his passionate words full of longing for the future were obviously dimmed.

Yuan Chonghuan stared at Huang Chongzhen with blazing eyes, the latter had fallen into deep thought, obviously did not take his shirk seriously, but really began to think about how to restrain the cavalry without strengthening the city.

Yuan Chonghuan looked at his resolute face, showing a serious look with a frowning sword, and a little hope really rose in his heart.

Huang Chongzhen really turned his brain quickly, thinking hard about this problem, which caused all agricultural civilizations in ancient and modern times, both Chinese and foreign, to be deeply troubled, but could not figure it out.

"Trenches? Rejection? Luchai? No! These traditional methods can only cause a certain amount of resistance to the cavalry at most, but they are absolutely not restrained.

Especially on the unobstructed frozen sea, Juehua Island has almost no strategic depth and room for detours. Could it be that as the commander said, the only thing that can restrain the Jiannu cavalry is the combination of fortified cities and artillery?

No! There must still be one! There must still be one! I'll think again! I'll think again! That's right...... That's right! Wire! A mesh chain made of iron wire, and the tighter it is, the more dangerous it is!

In the Battle of the Somme, wasn't the majestic and invincible 'war horse' from an English farm almost scrapped by barbed wire?

Once touched, the cavalry charged with all its strength was lightly wound, and the more they struggled, the stronger the wound became. The heavier one directly cut the body of the cavalry and even the war horse into two pieces.

As long as it is used properly, it will definitely be able to make the Jiannu cavalry, who think they are victorious and are eager to slaughter the Juehua army and civilians, and plant a big heel that has never been seen before! ”

Huang Chongzhen vaguely remembered that when he was forging a gun carriage in the blacksmith shop the night before, he had caught a glimpse of a bundle of slightly thick wire, lying quietly in the corner and no one cared about it, which showed that the blacksmith shop in Ningyuan City had wire drawing technology.

Thinking of this, Huang Chongzhen suddenly looked up at Yuan Chonghuan, and blurted out: "Marshal, general, I have already thought of a way to restrain the Jiannu cavalry without strengthening the city." ”

Zu Dashou suddenly exclaimed: "Is this true? ”

Yuan Chonghuan was a little calm: "There is no joke in the army!" ”

Huang Chongzhen looked left and right, took a deep breath, and said solemnly: "A certain wish to make a military order!" ”

According to previous experience, once this kid says this, it means that he is at least eighty percent sure.

So, Yuan Zu and the two glanced at each other, and once again said in unison: "Will the plan be released?" ”

Huang Chongzhen snapped his fingers and said: "It's simple, just give the order of the marshal, and hand over the four blacksmith shops in the four cities to the mark for one day, and by tomorrow evening, when you can forge enough tools to restrain the Jiannu cavalry." ”

"And something to do with the blacksmith's shop? Are you the son of a blacksmith, or the descendant of a pig killer? ”

Yuan Chonghuan was slightly stunned and made a joke, so he also readily agreed: "Okay! Speaking of the token last time, you haven't returned it to Ben Shuai, have you? ”

Huang Chongzhen reached into his arms and held the exquisitely made jade pendant in the palm of his hand, and said with a grin: "Such a treasure into a certain bosom is a certain bag, how can there be a gift to return or transfer?" ”

"But how did you hear that you always like to throw it to Zhou Ji and let that kid command others?"

"Hehe, that's because I admire the handsome man under the mark, and I want to experience your scholarly spirit and scold Fang Xuan's demeanor."

"The scholar is angry and scolds Fang Xuan? Hahaha! You can say that again! Huang Chongzhen listened to the order, and temporarily named you as the commander of the thousand commanders under the command of the ancestor of the Ningyuan army, and allocated three Hongyi cannons to you, and rushed to the aid of Juehua with Zhao Shujiao to resist Jiannu.

If you, Zhao Shujiao and Juehua are all martyred, you will write a eulogy and mourn with Dashou in person.

If you win in the event of victory, a certain direction will be played by the imperial court, and you, the commander who was temporarily sealed during the war, will be transferred to the emperor's favor, and the side canonized by the military department will be guarded, and the garrison will protect the country and the country. ”

"Mark Xie Dashuai to promote, General Xie favors." Huang Chongzhen solemnly clasped his fists and bowed and thanked him.

"Why don't you salute today?" Yuan Zu and the others laughed, which made the atmosphere a little lighter.

At that moment, a deliberately heavier footstep came into the room, and soon there was a knock on the door.

Yuan Chonghuan said "come in" like an office leader, and saw the door "creak" open, and a personal guard walked in, Huang Chongzhen remembered that his name was Yuan Er.

I only heard Yuan Er hugging his fists and saying: "Qiyu Dashuai, the scout has just come to report, Jin Shilin, the son of Juehua's deputy general Jin Guan." More than a dozen boats of the Juehua Navy Division came with full supplies.

However, the sea near the shore was very frozen, and it was impossible to approach the shore, and it was afraid that the Jiannu cavalry would suddenly attack after landing on the shore. Therefore, I am cruising on the surface of the sea three miles away from the shore, and I ask for answer! ”

"Jiannu has not retreated for a long time, and it is bypassing Ningyuan to retreat to the north. The life and death of the slave chief is uncertain, and at least until his injuries are known, there will definitely be no more major movements. A certain military order was passed on, and General Mangui was immediately transferred to the East Gate guard, and he was fully responsible for the response. Be sure to bring all supplies into the city before dawn. ”

As soon as the urgent military affairs appeared, Yuan Chonghuan's temperament immediately changed, the situation was clear, and a reasonable military order was arranged without thinking.

"No!" Yuan Er received the order, and walked away quickly with hurried and unhurried footsteps, but there was another burst of footsteps.

Huang Chongzhen simply opened the door, only to see another guard trotting over, remembering that his name was Yuan Qi.

I saw that Yuan Qi was full of joy, and before he could fully stand still, he had already reported loudly: "Great marshal, General Zhao has led 6,000 soldiers from Shanhaiguan to help!" The vanguard of 1,000 cavalry is only ten miles away from Yongqing City! ”

"It's great that Xilong is here!" When Zu Dashou heard this, he was simply surprised.

Yuan Chonghuan's consideration was much more far-reaching, and he said: "Even if he is a high rank, he still has a bit of blood and conscience!" However, it was too stingy to send only 5,000 infantry to Xilong!

Hum! Since you are unwilling to take risks, then you will not be blamed for not giving you a little credit for Ning Yuan's victory. What's more, there may be a more tragic and exciting victory in Juehua than the Battle of Ningyuan! Don't cry and say you regret it. ”

After Huang Chongzhen heard what he said, he immediately rubbed his hands and said shyly: "Marshal, general, this ......"

Yuan Chonghuan laughed and said: "This handsome man will do what he says, how can he disdain to break his word?" Shiron and his 1,000 cavalry, and Gaodi's 2,000 foot soldiers, are yours.

In addition to the cannons, Juehua Island is also full of firearms, so Ben Shuai will not allocate it to you.

By the way, Yuan Qi, you lead ten brothers to follow Chongzhen and help more, so as not to let this kid's thousand-captain status suppress the group of arrogant soldiers and rebellious people on Juehua Island. ”

"Dashuai, you look down on the mark too much! We'll see! Huang Chongzhen went back to prepare in a huff.

Yuan Qi saw that Yuan Chonghuan and Zu Dashou both nodded at him, so he quickly ordered ten brothers outside, followed with a fart, and poked his head out and said with a shy face: "Brother Azhen, you really have a set, I have followed Dashuai for many years, and I have never seen anyone talk to Dashuai like this, and I will not be scolded." ”

Huang Chongzhen patted him on the shoulder and said, "The little brother will rely on you in the future, but if you and the eldest brother are accidentally injured, the little brother will do his best to treat him." ”

Yuan Qi hurriedly laughed and said: "Brother Chongzhen is polite, take care of each other, take care of each other." ”

The rest of the Yuan family's guards also echoed: "Yes, yes, this trip is a difficult task, it can be called a life of nine deaths, as long as our brothers work together, it will be profitable." ”

Huang Chongzhen stopped and looked at them seriously and said, "Aren't you all afraid of death?" ”

Yuan Qi and the others all laughed and said, "Since we decided to follow Yuan Shuai to build Ningyuan outside the Guan, we have put life and death aside, and all we want in this life is to kill a few more Jiannu." ”

"Good man! Good brothers! Huang Chongzhen praised from the bottom of his heart.

"Don't dare to be! Don't dare to be! "The humility of a group of people surnamed Yuan fully shows what Chinese virtues are.

With the foundation of forging the gun carriage before, the unruly killers in the blacksmith shop obediently followed Chongzhen into the hot molten iron and pulling the wire.

At this moment, Huang Chongzhen is very grateful for the spirit and wisdom of the Chinese ancestors, so that the technology of molten iron wire drawing can be so perfect with only crude and simple equipment.

In particular, the four old blacksmiths who are in charge of everything in the four blacksmith shops, their amazing and thrilling skills are simply breathtaking.

It also made Huang Chongzhen understand why the phrase "master is in the folk" is passed down in ancient Chinese folk.

Hundreds of blacksmiths from all over the four blacksmith shops rushed day and night, and finally by the end of the next day, more than 100 bundles of slender and strong iron wire were forged.
