Chapter 491: The Magical Big Bamboo Tube
Time flies so fast, and it's been more than half a month in the blink of an eye. The agreed one-month period is getting closer and closer, and even if the six princes are calm, they are a little anxious.
After all, not only the tens of thousands of people in the border army are waiting for the day, but also the 10,000 wolf riders in the grassland also need to supply food and forage here at the border pass.
If it continues to be consumed like this, not to mention that the end of this war is far away, even the logistical consumption will be a heavy burden.
But the Rakshasa devil is also notoriously difficult, even if there are only more than 1,000 people left, they are still like hungry wolves, biting at the border of Dawei, and haunting from time to time. As long as one of them doesn't pay attention, they will take a piece of meat from them.
The sixth prince put the tea bowl on the table and said to the general, "For such a fight, it is really difficult to delay it any longer. It is still necessary to force the Rakshasa devil to fight a decisive battle as soon as possible! ”
Yongan was bored and knocked on the horsewhip in his hand, and he was also irritable, "Yes, this Rakshasa devil is like a flea in the hair, it can't hurt people, but it responds to people!" I want to chop them all up with one sword! ”
The general heard it funny, he had been in charge of the border for many years, and he had encountered countless such things, but he was more calm than the six princes and Yong'an.
"Your Highness, don't be anxious, in this situation, you have to be more patient than which side. After the New Year, the ice and snow civilization is more beneficial to us, and the Rakshasa devils always have to retreat. It's just that Your Highness is afraid that he will have to go back to Kyoto early!
"But it's okay here, Your Highness is on the throne, and we will fight with the Rakshasa devils again, at least we don't have to pay for our own military rations and salaries."
He Xiong also said with a smile, "The general is right, the two countries are at war, the situation is unpredictable, and no one can predict the road ahead." Now that we have won 80% of the victories, and the remaining 20% are not to be feared, Your Highness can go back to Kyoto with peace of mind, waiting for the good news of our victory! ”
The sixth prince frowned slightly, although he was unwilling, but at present, it could only be like this.
At this time, there was a sudden commotion outside the tent, and Yonglu opened the curtain and rushed in, ignoring the number of courtesies, and shouted loudly, "Cousin, my mother and sister's guards are back, saying that Uncle Chen asked them to send good things back!" ”
Everyone was happy, especially Yong'an, who hadn't seen his sister and mother for a long time.
"Where are the people? What did my mother send? Is there only my cousin's, is there any mine? ”
Before Yonglu could answer, Yongyue had already led the guards in.
It turned out that the little brothers were idle, leading Da Hei and Da Bai to walk outside the camp, and happened to meet the guards who rushed back from Jiangnan.
Several guards were covered with dust and dust, and their faces were bruised and purple from the cold, showing that they had endured hardships on the road.
Several people knelt down and kowtowed, and the sixth prince helped them up with his own hands and said, "It's hard for you to run." ”
"It's not hard, Your Highness!" The leader of the guards has followed the Sixth Highness since he was a child, and he is very excited to see his master again.
He did not dare to delay, and quickly took out the letter from his bosom and presented it with both hands.
"Your Highness, these things are very important, Shopkeeper Chen told us to be sure to hand them over to you personally. We hurried back in seven days, hoping that we did not delay our business. ”
The sixth prince's heart moved, and he vaguely guessed, and quickly opened the envelope.
Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue were itching, and they didn't pay attention to talking to the guards, so they thought that those big baskets were Jiangnan specialties, so they quietly touched the corners of a basket, and it turned out that there were big bamboo tubes inside.
"Why are they all big bamboo tubes? Did you pack any novelty to eat? Tai Yonglu's face was full of strangeness, and he wanted to take another look, but he was held down by the sixth prince.
"Don't move!" The sixth prince's face was full of surprise and excitement, and he said loudly, "This is used to kill the Rakshasa devil!" ”
Hearing this, everyone subconsciously gathered. But all the baskets are such big bamboo tubes, I really can't see anything strange!
The Sixth Prince was also really curious if this bamboo tube was as magical as Chen Zhao said in his heart, so he said, "Let's find a large open space and try it!" ”
Everyone couldn't bear it, and they all helped Zhang Luo up.
Old Man Tai and Tai Jizu also came over when they heard that Jiangnan had returned.
Soon, a large open space behind the barracks was placed under martial law. On weekdays, this is where the horses run, and the snow has long since cleared, leaving only a large area of bare ground with the occasional yellowing of grass roots.
The sixth prince took a large bamboo tube and wanted to light the fuse, but was immediately snatched by Tai Yongan.
"Cousin, get out of the way, I'll do something!"
Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue even pulled their cousin's arm and dragged it back, for fear that their cousin would be injured.
The sixth prince had no choice, so he instructed Yong'an, "Remember to light the fuse, and throw it out when it burns to a third." The farther away the better, cover your ears. ”
"Don't worry, cousin!" Tai Yongan agreed happily, but in fact, he still didn't care too much about it. He has been bold since he was a child, how can he be afraid of firecrackers, although he is a little bigger......
So, he quickly lit one, then waited for a breath kung fu before throwing it out!
Almost before everyone could cover their ears, the firecrackers exploded in the open space in the distance, and everyone who was shocked was buzzing in their ears.
Not only that, but the sudden soaring fireball, the scattered pieces of iron smashing things and crackling, are even more shocking!
And in the stables two miles away, the war horses were also frightened and frantically ploughed the ground, almost blowing up the camp. The big black and white thought that the master had been hurt, and the wind rushed over!
"This ...... That's amazing! He Xiong was dumbfounded, he really couldn't find a better word!
It was still the general who looked far away, he took a deep breath, and said hello to the six princes, "Congratulations, Your Highness, with such an artifact, I'm afraid it won't take a few days for the Rakshasa devils to be completely wiped out, and the Great Wei Border Pass will always be peaceful!" ”
"Good, good!" The eyes of the six princes were fanatical, he didn't expect to get such an artifact at the end of the war!
He is destined to return to Kyoto with his head held high with his defeat at Rakshasa and a shame before the snow, proud of the world!
Old Man Tai excitedly pinched his cigarette pouch and pot, and he was slightly relieved. When the six princes ascend the throne, they will definitely give their own rewards. With the previous merits and these baskets of artifacts, I'm afraid that no one will dare to say that they are taking advantage of it!
Early in the morning of the second day, the six princes ordered the generals, took Yongan and He Xiong, and went murderously to find the trouble of the Rakshasa devil.
After hearing about it, the cabinet elders and officials from Kyoto came to persuade them again with a bitter face, but they were politely stopped by the general, and the excuse was still the same, and when the January period expired, the six princes would definitely return to Kyoto.
The cabinet elders and officials are also paying close attention to the war, so naturally they don't believe it.
But they really expected it wrong this time, in just five days, with thunder and thunder, the earth shook the mountains, or the flames soared into the sky, the Rakshasa devils fled from all corners in horror, drove together, and were slashed and killed one by one by the big knife!
When the last enemy fell, all the soldiers and generals present did not speak for a long time, and finally, the sixth prince raised the long knife in his hand and shouted loudly, "Great Wei is mighty, and the border army is mighty!" ”
All the soldiers and generals also raised their long knives in unison, pulled their necks and shouted hard, tears in their eyes flowed unconsciously, for many days of hard work, for the dead comrades-in-arms and brothers, but also for their belief in protecting their families and defending the country!
