Chapter 415: Artillery Fire in the North
Chapter 415
The success of relieving Peixian this time can be said to be a good victory, after the news came back, the first emperor finally opened the Hangu Pass, and those merchants poured into the pass like crazy.
But did the First Emperor make a request to these merchants at the same time, since these people can't fight for Great Qin, then donate money, donate money for Great Qin's great war to quell the chaos.
In order to survive, businessmen are naturally willing to pay money, as long as the war does not burn on their heads, it is nothing to pay some money.
However, there was another voice in the court, thinking that the merchants were useless, just a group of insidious and cunning people who were greedy for life and afraid of death, had no love for their family and country, and demanded that Daqin suppress the development of merchants and reduce the status of merchants.
The First Emperor has not paid much attention to this matter, but the matter has become bigger and bigger, and it has even made the First Emperor unable to ignore it. Fortunately, Xiao He stood up in time and started a line with the anti-business party, and even had the upper hand for a while, so that the First Emperor did not get angry this time.
Inside Hangu Pass, watching the crowds of merchants leave Hangu Pass and walk towards the pass, Bai Lu and Bai Muxue breathed a sigh of relief. When the two of them and Yu Miaoyang came to Hangu Pass, they could really feel the sense of depression in the city, and if they forcibly suppressed it, maybe these merchants would riot.
"It's finally gone, and it's a lot easier here." Bailu said.
Bai Muxue nodded and said, "It's not what happened to Xianggong's side, how long will this war last." ”
"I heard that the Xiongnu and Donghu in the north also came down to the south, and this year's Great Qin is really a country of embattlement. But fortunately, Gongzi made artillery, and on the north side, the Huns and Donghu people were too frightened to attack the city easily. Bailu said.
"The Xiongnu and Donghu have always been the hidden dangers of Daqin, Daqin is strong, they naturally bow down to the vassals, but once there is a problem in Daqin, the Xiongnu and Donghu will fall into the ground, no wonder Xianggong has always wanted to unify the grassland." Bai Muxue hugged her arms and said.
At this time, Yu Miaoyang ran up and said, "Sister Mu Xue! Sister Bailu! When are we going to return to Xianyang? ”
"When can my uncle and aunt leave?" Bai Muxue asked.
"The news is a bit sudden, but it can be cleaned up tomorrow, and my father doesn't want to sell the inn here, so people can watch and continue to do business." Yu Miaoyang said.
"Then let's go back to Xianyang tomorrow." Bai Muxue said.
At the same time, on the Great Wall north of Daqin, a deafening roar of artillery was constantly emitted, and then one shell after another exploded in the Donghu army, and the horses were frightened, and they all lost control, throwing the Donghu people off their horses and fleeing in all directions.
When King Donghu saw this scene, his face turned unusually blue. He didn't understand, how could the Qin people have such a terrifying weapon, as soon as this weapon sounded, not only did the army suffer heavy losses, but they couldn't even charge.
"King, Mingjin should withdraw his troops, if this continues, the losses will be too heavy, and the frightened war horses will not be able to rush over." The leader of a tribe said.
King Donghu's face was very gloomy, and then he said gloomily: "Mingjin retreats!" ”
"Yes!" The leaders immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and finally withdrew their troops, otherwise if they continued to fight, they would be the ones who couldn't bear it first.
King Donghu looked at one of the leaders and asked, "How is the progress on the Huns' side?" ”
"Back to the king, the Huns also encountered this weapon, and now the Huns have given up the siege of the city, and are all stationed outside the Great Wall, grazing by the way." The leader said.
"In this case, then our army is also stationed down to graze, the Huns are not in a hurry, what are we anxious about." King Donghu said.
The leader behind King Donghu suddenly rolled his eyes silently, who said that he was going to attack the Great Wall before the Huns, resulting in the loss of so many warriors in vain.
On the Great Wall, watching the retreat of the Donghu army, Yao Qi was also relieved. Although there is artillery, every time Donghu attacks the city, Yao Qi will be scared.
Yao Qi studied literature with his father Yao Jia when he was a child, and came back to learn martial arts and joined the army.
Seeing that the Donghu people would not attack the city for the time being, Yao Qicai walked down the city. By this time it was already dark.
On the other side of the grassland, the sun can still be seen. After the Huns saw the power of artillery in the first siege, they immediately stopped the siege and stationed themselves to graze.
Mao Dun also didn't expect that in just one year, the Qin people would have such a terrible weapon, which caused his plan to fail again, and even caused the dissatisfaction of Antulu and Haji again.
In order to appease Antulu and Haji, Maudun paid a great price, but fortunately, Haji and Antulu did not want to retreat, after all, the grassland here is still very attractive.
From a distance, it can be clearly seen that the military camp of the Xiongnu army is divided into three, and the three are not connected to each other, which also shows that the heart of the Xiongnu army is not aligned.
Among the Haji tribe, a guest was ushered in, and even Haji himself was asked to greet him.
"The Great Qin envoys are all open to meet the leader of Haji." That's right, the person who came was the messenger of Great Qin.
"The envoy is polite, when the envoy came, no one found out." Haji asked cautiously.
"Don't worry, chief, I was wearing your Hun clothes when I came, and it was the leader's people who took me in, so no one will find out." Qi Kai said.
Haji sighed and said, "Please forgive the envoy, you have also seen that I have to send troops south, otherwise according to the map, Maudun and Maudun will inevitably join forces to annex me, and I am also protecting myself." ”
Haji immediately sold his pity, but this time it made him reconfirm that he couldn't be an enemy of the Qin people, so Haji took the initiative to contact Daqin and sincerely defended himself.
Qi Kai said: "Don't worry, your majesty also knows that the leader is also helpless, so he doesn't blame the leader." The cooperation between the leader and my Great Qin is still effective, after all, we are a family. ”
"Yes, yes, we're family." Haji smiled and pulled Qi Kai to sit beside him.
Qi Kai sat down and continued: "Chief, I want to ask, who instigated Mao Dun and Antulu to attack Qin south this time? ”
"This is known only to Maudun, and it was Maudun who persuaded Antulu that I had no choice but to send troops. However, I heard Mao Dun say that there was an envoy who claimed to be the State of Wei, and on the side of Donghu, it should be an envoy who claimed to be the State of Zhao, saying that the Central Plains of your Great Qin is about to fall into their hands, as long as we drag the Zhenbei Army or capture the Great Wall, the Qin land in the Hangu Pass will be given to us. Haji said.
Qi Kai suddenly showed a very mocking smile and said, "This group of remnants of the Six Nations really looks up to themselves, and Mao Dun's ambition is not small. Here I tell the truth to the chief of Haji. Our Royal Highness the Fifth Prince, that is, the one who captured Touman alive, has now led the troops to the battle, and the remnants of the Chu State were defeated in the first battle, and the remnants of the Six Kingdoms are in my Great Qin, and they can't make waves at all, and even as long as 100,000 troops can be completely suppressed. ”
"Great Qin Wannian! His Majesty the Great Qin Emperor for ten thousand years! Haji hurriedly got up and bowed to the south.
