Although the king of Pingxi prepared an astonishing amount of gunpowder for his Pingxi army, this kind of black powder is not the TNT of later generations, and if he wants to fill in the entire canyon that stretches for dozens of miles, it is estimated that all the craftsmen of the Firearms Bureau of the Crouching Tiger Equipment Institute do not eat, drink or sleep, and the black powder that has been produced for ten years is enough.

More importantly, if the entire canyon is blown flat, where will you find a way to secretly infiltrate the country of Wusun?

Therefore, when all the gunpowder at more than a dozen detonation points was detonated, although it was earth-shattering and terrifying, it only blocked 40,000 Wusun people in the canyon in sections, and it is estimated that less than half of the real casualties were killed.

Although less than half of the casualties were killed, after the explosion, the surviving Wusun people and the war horses behind them were already frightened, and one by one they were like fish dying on the shore, and they saw that they had lost their vitality and vitality.

Matthew, who had already come to his senses, turned his inquiring gaze to Ma Dai. He said, "What about the rest of the Wusuns?

"Shoot your head!" Hurry up and pass my order, let all the brothers who are in ambush on both sides of the canyon come out, shout at the valley, and say: "The king of Pingxi is powerful, only stomped three times, trampled on several mountains, and buried Wusun and a half!"

Ma Xiu hurriedly asked the guards who sent the flag to send a telegram to the distance, passing on Ma Dai's nonsense songs.

The soldiers of the Xiliang Army, who were originally ambushed on the top of the canyon, took their weapons, showed their heads on the edge of the canyon, and shouted loudly into the canyon: "The king of Pingxi is powerful, only stomped his feet three times, shook several mountains, and buried Wusun and a half!"

After shouting several times, Ma Dai suddenly remembered that this group of Wusun soldiers was afraid that they would not understand Chinese, so he hurriedly asked the Yanqi soldiers who came with him to understand Wusun to teach the soldiers Chinese in Wusun language. The Yanqi soldiers shouted, and the 20,000 Xiliang soldiers recited it, and for a while, the canyon echoed everywhere with the mighty and invincible voice of the king of Pingxi.

Seeing the Wusun people in the canyon who were so frightened that they almost peed their pants, Ma Dai said to the heralds: "Let the big guys shout in Wusun language, 'Those who don't want to be drowned in the valley, throw away the weapons in their hands and climb up the rope!'"

When Ma Xiu heard this, he was anxious, and hurriedly stopped the second brother and said: "Do you really want to save them?" In fact, we are just surrounding them, waiting for the upstream river to break through the first blockage and blockage, we can wash them all away, and we don't need to see blood and do it!"

Ma Dai glared at Ma Xiu, and then said: "You know how to kill and kill, so you don't want to think about what we are fighting for? If we kill all these Wusun people, who will spread the prestige of the King of Pingxi for us? Who will clean up the blocked canyon below for us? Who will build roads and build cities for us?"

Ma Xiu seemed to understand, and he suddenly burst out with a sentence: "Second brother, 'Gou can control the invasion of the tomb, and he is killing more', is that what it means?"

Ma Dai commanded: "It's not stupid to get home, hurry up Zhao Hu and the others to capture the prisoners! As long as they don't have missing arms and legs, they all use ropes to hang them up the cliff, and if they hang one of them, they will tie one with ropes, and I didn't let everyone prepare a lot of ropes when they came!"

So, Ma Dai gave an order, put down many ropes from the top of the canyon, and before the flood broke out in the valley, more than 20,000 Wusun people were fished up. As for the horses they had led when they came, and the weapons they had in their hands, they were all discarded in the canyon.

Yanqi China, located downstream of the open part of the canyon, has already received early warnings about flash floods, and people on both sides of the river have migrated to higher ground, just waiting for the flood to recover "treasures". For them, the horses that had not yet drowned, as well as the belongings and iron weapons that the Wusun people carried with them, as long as they were scooped up, could be exchanged for silver tickets from the peasants, soldiers, merchants, and gold firms.

The "fishing" campaign to capture the captives lasted for two days, and the upstream dammed lake blocked by the canyon collapse finally spewed down, breaking away all the man-made blockages. The river mixed with the rocks, forming an unstoppable mudslide, roaring all the way out of the Saarmin Mountain, and then causing a lot of impact on the Yanqi Kingdom.

Mudslides that have accumulated on both sides of the otherwise flat river channel have been laborious to clean up, but they have brought ore and fertile nutrients from the mountains that, if used properly, could boost this year's crops. The most troublesome thing is the corpses of the Wusun people who have been buried, which, if not handled properly, can cause a plague to rage.

As the chief of the interior, Liu Yu also knew some of the ambush plans, so he began to organize the evacuation of the people on both sides of the river early, and prepared for the next dredging and salvage of corpses.

Although this battle caused the Wusun people to suffer some heavy losses, it was also a good opportunity to establish their authority. After all the carcasses have been recovered, Liu Yan will build a huge grave at the top of the canyon, where the corpses will be burned and buried. I believe that the Yanqi people who saw this scene will definitely obey King Pingxi's orders more honestly.

Ma Dai and Ma Xiu led an army to watch over more than 20,000 lost souls of the Wusun people in the mountains, and when the flood had washed over, they went down to the bottom of the valley to clear the silted rocks and temporarily build a passable road.

Ma Dai was not worried that the more than 20,000 Wusun captives who were captured would rebel, because not only did they not have the fighting spirit to walk with the corpse, but they also had no weapons in their hands, and they could only eat one life-sustaining meal a day, and even if they wanted to rebel, they did not have the strength and fighting spirit.

When the canyon is dredged out, presumably the Wusun people have also been repaired, and then these Wusun captives can be handed over to the Kunlun army brothers who came to send the horses, and the 20,000 soldiers of the Xiliang army will follow the road when the Wusun people came, and go to the territory of Wusun to make a bigger deal.

The 20,000 soldiers of the Xiliang Army did not ride into the mountain this time, because the war horses could not climb to the top of the canyon, and their war horses were still hidden in Jiaohe City. When this section of the canyon where the Wusun people had been buried was cleared, it was natural that the horses would be secretly transported, and then they could carry out the second step of the counterattack on Akaya Castle.

Although several days had passed since the ambush ended, Matthew still excitedly described the scene of the explosion to Ma Dai every day, as if he wanted to prove that he had also made a lot of effort this time.

Ma Dai was overwhelmed, so he temporarily gave Ma Xiu the task of counting the number of prisoners. Ma Xiu didn't know Ma Dai's thoughts, so he happily took over the task, and really carried out the inventory and registration seriously, and this busyness passed in three days.

Matthew reported to Ma Dai that the number of prisoners had been ascertained, and that the total number was twenty-one thousand eight hundred and twenty-four. Ma Dai nodded and said yes, then sighed, and said leisurely: "It's a pity that there are tens of thousands of good horses! If this is placed in the Central Plains region, it can earn back tens of millions of taels of silver for the Liang Kingdom!"

Ma Xiu thought for a moment, and then came out again: "It's okay, anyway, the Wusun people can raise horses, after we get them done this time, we can have many war horses to use, and we can fight all the way to Daqin (Rome)!"
