Chapter 243: Suddenly Enlightened
The person in charge of guarding the city gate here today was Deputy General Jiang, and when he learned that Xie Yangui was inspecting the defenses, he immediately rushed over.
After seeing Xie Yan return, he clasped his fists and saluted, not noticing that there was a little girl about four or five years old behind him.
The little girl had two pigtails on her head, and she was learning from him, and she also saluted Xie Yangui.
"Your daughter?" Xie Yangui beckoned to her and asked with a smile.
Vice General Jiang hurriedly turned his head, only to find that the little girl behind him showed a little helplessness on her originally serious face.
"Please also ask the general to forgive her sins, she is indeed a little girl. Today is the last general's duty, even if it is not as good as Nancheng, you should do your best, the last general's inner son......
When the little girl came to his lap and stood firm, Vice General Jiang immediately pleaded guilty at Xie Yan.
"It doesn't matter." With a wave of his hand, Xie Yangui squatted down.
In the end, it is the father and daughter, the little girl looks very similar to Vice General Jiang, and her immature face deliberately puts on a serious expression, which is ridiculous.
"The General forgives the sins." She followed her father's example and said in a milky voice.
"It's okay." Xie Yangui pressed her hand and said softly, "How old are you?"
"Four." The little girl is still serious, "General, I want to be a general when I grow up, just like a general!"
As if she was saying a tongue twister, she said to Xie Yangui seriously.
"Well, ambitious!" Xie Yangui touched her pigtails, her soft hair brushed over her palms, and she looked up at Vice General Jiang, "Tiger father has no dog girl, the general must remember to teach her skills."
"Yes, the last general is already teaching. Vice Admiral Jiang looked down at his daughter, a smile appeared on his face, "However, the skills that the last general hopes to teach her will not be used in the future."
If that day comes, it means that there will be no more wars, and the people will be able to live and work in peace.
"There will be a day." Xie Yan replied.
While the two were talking, Yu Shu returned with the improved sample, and Xie Yangui invited Vice General Jiang and his daughter to go to the city wall together to watch a new round of attempts.
Compared to the last time, the effect is really better.
"General, this is ...... What?" Holding his daughter in his arms, Vice General Jiang was surprised.
The little girl leaned on her father's arms, her hands covered her ears, and her eyes widened, "Like a cannonball!"
"Think of it as a big cannon fight." Xie Yangui said with a smile.
Even if the soldiers of Qiannan are gathered, they are still far from the more than 200,000 troops outside the city, and as for the Song Shu who sent them out to ask for reinforcements......
In fact, Xie Yangui didn't think that she could count on it, and she still had to rely on herself, so she had to think of something else.
On top of her whimsy, she's definitely the best at it.
If this "big cannon battle" can be successfully tested, it can reduce the casualties of the soldiers.
"A tuba cannonball?" Vice General Jiang repeated Xie Yangui's words, and couldn't help but think of his youth.
Someone in the town once opened a private artillery room, but the water was carried out at night, making a loud noise, which not only burned down many houses, but also caused casualties.
He could see everything clearly, if this thing was thrown into the enemy's army......
"Let's go, let's go down and have a look." Xie Yangui greeted him, and the group came outside the city.
It's better than the last time, but it needs to be improved.
When she returned to the city, she didn't have to go back and forth because Yushu brought materials, so she knew it in her heart, so she didn't say much, and went to the side to be busy.
"What does Vice Admiral Jiang think?" While she was busy, Xie Yangui turned his head and asked Vice General Jiang.
"It's incredibly powerful now, and when it is improved, it will surely cause heavy casualties to the enemy." Vice General Jiang hugged his daughter with a little excitement in his expression.
It's as if everything is close at hand.
"I wonder if the soldiers of Burma will regret that after the general uses this method, they should not be mixed with the Rongdi people?"
Xie Yangui raised his eyebrows, "Vice General Jiang, repeat what you just said."
"Yes," Vice Admiral Jiang was a little puzzled, but
Still repeating tentatively, "The last general just said that the power of this big cannon is ......
"It's not this one, it's the latter one." Xie Yangui interrupted him.
"I wonder if after the general has used this method, will the soldiers of the Burmese country regret not mixing with the Rongdi people?" Vice General Jiang said as he checked Xie Yangui's expression.
"That's it!" In an instant, Xie Yangui suddenly brightened.
"Last night, the enemy attacked and suffered a loss in our hands, I never thought that I would call for battle again this morning, the number is not large, and I wonder why?"
Seeing that Vice General Jiang's face was full of puzzlement, Xie Yangui explained with a smile, "It must be that our discord played a little role, but they let them find out."
Now, the enemy army is blocking outside, just to prevent the scouts sent out or Ling Yuwei coming back to report the news.
After all, the number of people who call the battle is not large, which will make people confused or disdainful to make a move.
If no troops are sent at the border pass, the enemy army can always stop outside, while the other side can search for the people sent out by Dajing and readjust the relationship between the two sides.
"I'm tired of Vice General Jiang helping to watch, I'll go back when I go!" Xie Yangui whistled, and the startled feather came to her, she turned on her horse and headed towards the gate of Nancheng.
Vice General Jiang stood in place with his daughter in his arms, still a little inexplicable.
The little girl in his arms was obviously fascinated by Xie Yangui's heroic appearance, and clapped her palms excitedly, "Daddy, I want to learn too!"
"Okay, Daddy will teach you how to ride a horse later." Vice General Jiang retracted his gaze and replied with a smile.
——
Shen Huai was also talking to the soldiers in the barracks, and when he heard that Xie Yan had returned, he immediately came out of the barracks.
"Order two squads and go out with me." Beckoning someone to bring a spear, Xie Yangui commanded.
Hearing the order, the soldiers immediately prepared to go, and soon two squads accompanied Xie Yan out of the city to meet the enemy.
The enemy troops outside the border pass were just as Xie Yangui expected, and their purpose was to bluff and prevent the people she had sent out from returning to the city.
The soldiers who followed Xie Yan to meet the enemy were at a time when their morale was greatly increased, and with the main generals following, they were all unstoppable.
Soon, the group of enemies outside the city was defeated and retreated, fleeing into the woods on both sides.
"Don't chase it, order the archers to prepare, if you dare to take the lead, hit me back!"
Xie Yangui sat on horseback, holding a spear in his hand, and commanded the soldiers.
She didn't leave at all, just circled around the back of the feather, waiting for the time to pass.
The retreating Rongdi were stuck in the forest, and they had only two choices: to go out of the forest to fight or to retreat from the forest.
Shen Huai also stood on the city wall, looking down, he didn't know Xie Yangui's intentions, but soon, he knew.
Soon after the enemy army was driven into the forest, Shen Huaiyi saw people appear in several positions outside the city, speeding towards the border pass.
It was the Ling Yuwei sent out by Xie Yangui.
