Chapter 203: The thought of destroying the Huns is a piece
Grassland, Xiongnu wolf court.
Mao Dun listened to Tanqi's report, his brows furrowed slightly, and before he could say anything, Hedusuo was furious at first: "What a Qin man, he deceives people too much!" Now that they have withdrawn from the Twelve, are they not allowed us to plunder? Now that they have returned repeatedly, they dare to let us withdraw from the Twelve Kingdoms, how can this be justified! ”
Mao Dun waved his hand: "Go down." ”
After the detective rode away, Seleng frowned, got up and said: "Shan Yu, General Hedu is right, the Qin people are too contemptuous of our Huns, if we retreat like this, won't it encourage their arrogance!" ”
Mao Dun pondered for a long time, raised his head and said lightly: "Order, withdraw from the Twelve Kingdoms, don't clash with the Qin army." ”
Hedusuo took a step forward and said hurriedly: "Shan Yu ......"
Mao Dun glanced at the two of them, and said in a deep voice: "What I want to do right now is to unify the grassland, and I can't spend more energy in the Western Regions." This time, the twelve kingdoms have been looted, and all that is left for the Qin people is a dozen empty cities, what a pity! ”
Hedusuo glanced at Selen, said no more, and arched his hand: "Obey Shan Yu's order, I will go to pass the order!" ”
After Hedu Suo left, Seleng raised his head and said carefully: "Shan Yu is in the way of peace with the Qin people?" ”
Mao Dun shook his head, his expression was cold, and he said slowly: "The Qin people and I both know that the peace treaty is just a delaying tactic, but why did I still send it, and why did the Qin people agree?" ”
Selen frowned, thought for a while, and came to his senses: "What does Shan Yu mean is that the Qin people are also delaying time?" ”
Mao Dun nodded, and said quite worriedly: "Although I relied on a surprise attack to quickly recover the Wolf Court this spring, I am also worried about the Qin army all the time. I knew that the Qin army had an invincible cavalry, so I went to the Dayue clan before killing Hedu and persuaded Bulgan to contain that cavalry for me. ”
"However, until I captured the entire Mobei grassland, the Qin people did not make any move, so I asked Ihewu to negotiate peace, first, to delay the army, and second, to find out what tricks the Qin people had. Unexpectedly, the second emperor actually agreed to negotiate peace. I guess they must be waiting for something, but I haven't figured it out to this day! ”
Hearing this, Seleng nodded slightly, frowned, and said, "The knife that the merchant offered is far sharper than our sword, and there is also something similar to a stool on the horse's back to help fix the cavalry. With such a sharp weapon, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to resist, what can they plan? ”
Then he raised his head and said: "If the Qin people are building more powerful weapons, we will abide by the peace agreement and sit here and wait, will it ......?"
Mao Dun sneered: "How can I really sit still." When Hedusuo brought back the cavalry and goods of the twelve countries, he set up troops to attack Beihu! That Beihu has a close relationship with Daqin, and I have obtained a lot of money and food from Daqin, and if I take Beihu, I will greatly increase my strength. At that time, any peace treaty will be nothing more than a piece of waste paper! ”
Selen admired: "Shan Yu had already planned it, and I wonder why Shan Yu gave up the Twelve Kingdoms so easily. When we recovered the grassland, we killed nearly 40,000 Beihu cavalry, and they were extremely difficult to resist! ”

Daqin, Xianyang.
At this time, it was already the end of August, and the 5,000 flintlock pistols and 100,000 copper pellets had arrived in Xianyang and handed over to the new army for practice.
But the bullets are too precious, 100,000 bullets, each projectile is about 7 grams, which is 44,000 taels of copper, and if it is cast into half a tael, it is nearly 90,000 yuan!
When I figured out this account, I gasped, because half a tael is not equivalent to the value of the goods, so it can't be simply converted into the same corn, but it is also a lot of money, enough for Wu Jian's cavalry to go on a short-distance expedition!
In desperation, I asked Tetsugo to send the mold for casting copper pills to Rewubo together.
As a result, after each target shot, there will be a funny scene of 5,000 people pouting their butts neatly looking for projectiles...... The copper pellets found are then sent back to Rewu Fang to be reforged into bullets.
The gunpowder is enough to use, in addition to the stone flow yellow, saltpeter and charcoal powder are no longer a problem, the improved bomb is much safer, the debris of the explosion is considerable, and the lead has been improved to extend the ignition time and shorten the lead length.
This time, a total of three truckloads of bombs were made, all of which were used to absorb the shock with straw and covered with oil-soaked paper to make them waterproof, which is the oil-paper umbrella fabric of later generations. At the same time, a miniature version of the catapult was built, using a half-inch thick iron plate as a catapult, which was short but elastic, and although small, it could throw more than 100 steps.
The big tent of the Chinese army in Shanglin Garden.
I handed over the tiger talisman and handsome seal in my hand to Wang Jin, and said solemnly: "Wang Jin! I have made you a general and commanded a new army! ”
Wang Jin took a step forward, bowed down to take it, and said awe-inspiringly: "The minister obeys the order!" Thank you, Your Majesty! ”
"Sun Zhifeng! You are the deputy general, take the seal! ”
"Obey! Thank you, Your Majesty! ”
I looked at the two of them and encouraged, "This is the first time you have fought with muskets, don't be afraid!" Just remember how you train! Also, remember that under no circumstances should bombs, flintlock pistols, or gunpowder be lost on the battlefield, and the projectiles should be retrieved as much as possible! ”
"Yes!"
I looked at Wei Chi and ordered, "Wei Chi, this is the first time the new army has been fighting, and you have followed the new army with my edict." I have ordered Wu Jian to go north from Zhangye to fight with you. The tactics of the two armies are different, and if you are familiar with the two, you must play a role in making them fit with each other. If there is a disagreement between the two, it's up to you! ”
Wei Chi looked resolute, bowed down and said, "The minister receives the order!" It will live up to your majesty's expectations! ”
I nodded, picked up my sword, and walked out of the tent to the Dianjiangtai.
Under the stage, the 5,000 new troops lined up neatly, and compared with when they came, they had earth-shaking changes, not only in physical fitness, but also in each of them with more pride and perseverance as soldiers.
"Soldiers!" I looked at the young faces and said solemnly, "Today, your training is over!" These two months have been very hard and difficult, but you have persevered and completed your transformation! I am very relieved! ”
The crowd shouted to the sky: "Your Majesty ten thousand years!" Great Qin 10,000 years! ”
"Now it's time to review your training!" I suddenly pulled out the long sword at my waist and shouted: "But when Qin Jun draws his sword, he will see blood!" So, you are going to be subjected to the first review, on the battlefield! With new weapons in your hands and new tactics in your hearts, are you afraid? ”
"Don't be afraid! Unafraid!! Unafraid!!! "Having seen the power of muskets, they only hated that there was no such artifact when they destroyed the Six Kingdoms!
"Good! I am here, waiting for your triumph! I clenched the long sword in my hand, slashed forward through the wind, and shouted, "Go to battle!" ”
"Your Majesty, ten thousand years! Great Qin 10,000 years! ”
5,000 people quickly formed a line of troops, carrying spears, pill boxes and ammunition bags on their left waist, and bayonets and rain gear on their right waists, and rushed to the vicinity of Rewufang, where they were in the same place as the grain, grass, and bomb teams. These logistics teams are also selected elite soldiers! Then wait for it to get dark and take advantage of the night to go to Jiuyuan!
