The summer rainstorm came very quickly, and the dark clouds had just pressed down, and the bean-sized raindrops smashed down on the head and face.

On the vast plains, more than 200,000 troops are coming more fiercely than the torrential rain, and the green grass is first washed by the rain, and then trampled by thousands of horses, and the grass is broken into the soil and mixed in the muddy water, this scenery is not pleasing to the eye.

On the southern hillside, Yuan Baihu took the lead in breaking into the camp of the dynasty army, and the spear in his hand stabbed out, facing Yan Shaohai, who had already turned over and mounted his horse.

Yuan Baihu is worthy of being another northern fierce general after Pu Wen, and with only one blow, he forced Yan Shaohai, who was a few years younger than him, to retreat a few steps, and then threw the black spear and slammed a cavalryman dressed as a hundred households next to him, who raised his knife to block, but still did not block this powerful blow, and was directly shot off his horse and fell into the mud.

The other two brothers of the Yan family saw that Yan Shaohai couldn't resist it, and they couldn't care about their demeanor, so they drove forward together to help, and the three of them were all good at the horse, and at the same time they caught up with Yuan Baihu, who was inevitably a little unbearable, and was beaten back again and again.

……

On the northern hillside, Battle stood in the heavy rain with a knife, and Yao Qingyi holding an umbrella alone on the side, this picture looked extremely strange, but the people around him looked as usual.

The boy of Beitu is not afraid of wind, frost, rain and snow, even if the sky falls, his face should not change, not to mention that it is just ordinary rain.

The men who hold up a slender bamboo paper umbrella on a rainy day seem to them to be too pretentious, especially when they encounter an umbrella on a snowy day, and they are eager to stuff snowballs into the crotch of each other's pants.

However, if this happened to Yao Qingyi, even if they were given the guts, they would not dare, not to mention that as a scholar, he would have looked sick, and Yao Qian's ruthless and resolute methods alone were not comparable to ordinary martial artists.

Ordinary tribal leaders, no matter how brutal they are, are just feeding tigers and leopards alive and forcibly occupying other people's wives and daughters, but these are no more pediatric in front of Yao Qingyi.

Since this seemingly kind Confucian established Qingwei, he has done a lot of appalling things, when the previous Khan was alive, from time to time someone was invited into Qingwei, and then either no one was born or died, or the whole person was tortured to get rid of the image, as for the families and daughters of those people, most of them were sent to Yunshao, as slaves and maids, and they could not see the light of day in their lives, as long as they entered Qingwei, they did not come out unharmed.

Some people think that he is abusing his power, but after so many years, I have not heard of Qingwei having an unjust, false and wrongful case, but whoever goes in will always confess in the end.

Because of this, many people in the Northern Turkistan court hated and feared this guy who had no official and no character but could manage anyone, and the military attaché, who had always been disobedient to discipline, was stunned and swallowed his anger for more than 20 years.

……

Battle put the hilt of the knife in his hand, calmly looked at the soldiers fighting to the death at the front, and said in a deep voice:

"You calculated all this in advance?"

Confucian nodded, stroked his beard and said:

"The dynasty firecracker is indeed extraordinary, the minister once ordered people to mix into the southern line tribes, under the pretext of provoking friction with the dynasty, and taking advantage of the war between the two sides to bring back a few firearms.

In the past ten years, the Dynasty Fire Gun has been improved many times, and the power accuracy has been greatly improved, but due to the special material, I have always lacked iron, so it cannot be reproduced at all.

Although from the secret report sent back by the spies, it can be seen that the dynasty firecrackers are all from the hands of that Liu Shangshu, but there has been no essential improvement over the years, and the minister deduces that the real invention of this firecracker may be someone else, so he did not start to assassinate that Liu Shangshu.

At the beginning of this year, the spies planted by Qingwei in the capital were removed, and then the capital strengthened its vigilance, and the minister couldn't understand the movement over there for a while, so he made the iron ball during this time.

However, firearms are afraid of water is an immutable theorem, and the minister deliberately chose to launch an attack on this rainy day, even if the other party still has any secrets, it will not be able to be used on this rainy day. ”

When Battle heard this, he did not praise the other party's plan, but frowned slightly:

"But even so, it is still tantamount to letting Yuan Baihu take the heavily armored cavalry to send him to death."

Yao Qingyi heard the resentment between the other party's words, and he didn't mind, and said with a slight smile:

"If a confidant dies, Yuan He can have a monarch like you, and he will die without regrets.

Forgive Yao Jian for saying a bad truth, with your prestige today, not to mention those large and small tribes that have always disobeyed the control of the imperial court, even the personal guards left by the previous Great Khan, may not be able to bow down to you wholeheartedly.

Our grassland has been respected by the strong since ancient times, without the Central Plains' set of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, the Khan has just ascended the throne, the foundation is not stable, and others have long been waiting for the opportunity.

Now among the military attachés, the only one who can be regarded as a confidant is General Yuan, who has 5,000 heavy cavalry, and if he does not send him to death, how can the other tribes be at ease for you to drive to fight this big battle that does not know the outcome of the battle? ”

Battle's silence when he heard this, the middle-aged Confucian glanced at him and continued:

"Yao Jian erased more than a dozen small clan leaders overnight is already the limit, if he does more, it will inevitably cause the opposite effect, and now the Dayan family is not as stable as it seems, it has already reached the point of precariousness.

Not long ago, Qingwei sent back the news that the Xiao family in the north had invited the Venerable Lingmingtai of the Great Snow Mountain, they had coveted the throne for a long time, and at this moment, the intention of inviting a legendary figure out of the mountain could not be more obvious.

The minister is a scholar, and if it is not necessary, he does not want to let his hands get bloody, but this is the way of the world, if you don't provoke others, others will take the initiative to provoke you. ”

Battle was slightly shocked on his face, the Great Snow Mountain is the first holy mountain in Beitu, and Venerable Lingmingtai is an immortal who lives on the mountain, this story every Beitu person has heard when he was a child.

At this time, the heavy rain was about to stop, and the voices of the two were mixed with the sound of the rain, which did not reach the ears of the third person, and the people around only saw what the two were talking about, but they did not know the specific content.

……

Behind the camp at the place where the two armies were fighting, Emperor Shun, dressed in blue coarse cloth, looked at the rain outside, and his brows furrowed tightly.

This weather is too unfavorable for the firecracker, the opponent's heavy armor has been fighting with the dynasty army, although there are only 3,000 people, but it still disrupts the formation of the dynasty army, at this moment seeing that the rainstorm is about to stop, if it can't end early, when the opponent's more than 200,000 troops arrive, there is really no chance at all.

On the battlefield, many people fell on both sides of the war, and the ground was soon stained red with blood, and the blood and water were intertwined, even if there was a torrential rain, it still could not be washed clean.

A glimmer of light came from the clouds in the sky, and the mighty army of more than 200,000 troops under the hillside was about to arrive, if they could defeat the Northern Turkistan cavalry before the rain stopped, there was still a slight chance of victory, if the heavenly prince did not make a beautiful appearance or did not completely annihilate the other party, then he could only think of a way out in advance.

……

The Northern Turkistan side was also not comfortable, the original 5,000 ironclad army, on the road had already lost 2,000, finally rushed to the opponent's camp, and was prepared by the dynasty army with spears to resist, and after a while, hundreds of people died.

The dynasty army is 100,000, and they only have more than 2,000 people left, and the only thing they can do is to resist as much as possible, until the reinforcements arrive, so that firearms are useless.
