Wei Wuxian sat upright on the main seat of the tent, and Shen Tao and the seven captains who were not on duty stood on either side in turn.

"Tell me, what do you have to do? ”

Shen Tao, as the deputy commander, took the lead and said: "The scout in front reported that there were about 1,000 horsemen and horses from the Northern Barbarians thirty miles away, and they could reach my Jade Bottle Pass in an instant. Now there are only thirty crossbows and six hundred arrows in the guard, and all of them are hand-held crossbows, and the firing range is limited, if the northern barbarians bring longbows, we are very dangerous. Therefore, the lowly position thought that at least fifty strong crossbows should be prepared, and the more arrows the better.

The Jade Bottle Pass is only twenty-six zhang in Zhou, and the Great Xia side cannot be heavily armed, and the Beiban side cannot be heavily armed, and the troops that can be invested each time are at most a hundred people.

This means that the two sides are in a tug-of-war at the pass, and they have to constantly fill it with people from the rear, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a meat grinder.

Great Xia stationed a battalion of officers and soldiers at Hulukou behind the Yubei Pass in order to be ready for reinforcements at any time, and now that the war situation is urgent, it is appropriate to ask them for armament support.

Wei Wuxian nodded and looked at the others.

Ji Yun said: "The dangerous peaks on both sides must be sent to handle the other party in case of a sneak attack." ”

Song Zhe added: "It is necessary to reserve sand and water on the fortress to prevent enemy rocket attacks. ”

Wei Wuxian listened carefully one by one, these people have been fighting in the pass for many years, and their experience is far richer than his, after listening to everyone's suggestions, Wei Wuxian put forward a little bit of his own opinion, and then discussed it together, and finally formed a plan to prepare for war.

"Deputy Commander Shen, you are responsible for the execution of this battle, I am in charge of logistics, everyone acts according to the strategy, and those who do not listen to the dispatch will be killed!"

"Yes!"

Everyone spoke in unison and went down to prepare.

Shen Tao was a little excited, this was the first time he had commanded so many people to fight, and Wei Wuxian's trust in him made him feel the urge to die as a confidant.

Wei Wuxian's arrangement is of course considered, after all, he has not experienced the actual battle with the Northern Barbarians, and it is not suitable to command the troops for the time being, and logistics is also very important, and others may not be able to do it, just like the strong crossbows and arrows and other armaments just mentioned, Shen Tao and the others have absolutely no way to come from the gourd mouth, and they have to go, the seventh son of the Yan King.

After arranging the things in the camp, Wei Wuxian couldn't take a break, and set off again to Hulukou.

Wei Qixun didn't expect Wei Wuxian to come to his military camp late at night.

The Jade Bottle Pass was controlled by the Hulukou Battalion, and logically he was Wei Wuxian's Shangguan, but how dare he really put the official's score in front of Wei Wuxian, hurried to the main account, and received Wei Wuxian very politely.

He is actually very conflicted in his heart, Wei Wuxian is the prince of the palace, no matter whether he is valued by King Yan in the palace or not, if something really happens to him, the consequences can be imagined.

And the Kyoto side urged him to take the opportunity to kill Wei Wuxian by the hands of the Northern Barbarians, so as to open up a trade route to the Northern Barbarians after the war.

Ke Ling he is an eight-rank military attaché, both sides can't afford to offend, I heard that there are cavalry from the Northern Barbarians thirty miles away from the Jade Bottle Pass, and they have been struggling with what to do, and now Wei Wuxian has come to the door, just to make a conclusion.

Wei Qixun was looking at Wei Wuxian, and Wei Wuxian was also observing him.

Wei Qixun is in his forties, tall and majestic, giving people a sense of authority without anger.

It is said that Wei Qixun also has a younger brother, named Wei Qijue, the two and Shen Tao enlisted at the same time, both in the same team, and the relationship was very good at that time, until the Northern Barbarian invasion, their team encountered the Northern Barbarian cavalry when they went out on a mission.

Wei Qixun decisively asked Shen Tao to take Wei Qijue to go first, and his palace was behind, but Wei Qijue died on the way back, after this battle, Wei Qixun and Shen Taoen broke off, and suppressed Shen Tao everywhere after he was promoted, so that he could not advance an inch for ten years.

It's impossible to say who is right or who is wrong in this matter, but Wei Qixun is indeed a cut above Shen Tao in terms of military and communication skills, otherwise he would not have been promoted to the current Lieutenant Commander of the Eighth Rank.

Although the officialdom of Great Xia is corrupt, the military attachés and civil officials who enter the product are very valuable and generally cannot be obtained easily.

Wei Qixun read the armament application form, his heart was far from being as calm as it appeared, he originally thought that Wei Wuxian would think of transferring out of the Jade Bottle Pass, but he never expected that it was to apply for armaments, could it be that this prince of the palace planned to stick to the pass and fight to the death with the Northern Barbarians?

Wei Qixun has been on the battlefield and experienced life and death, no matter what purpose Wei Wuxian is in, he has not flinched in the face of the cavalry of the Northern Barbarians, so he is worthy of respect.

He closed the application form in his hand and said with a smile: "There is basically no problem with the things on the list, and I can also give Gongzi ten more strong crossbows and a barrel of black oil." ”

Wei Wuxian's eyes lit up, ten strong crossbows were already beyond his budget, and it was even more rare to have a barrel of black oil.

Black oil is a viscous flammable fuel grease that has a strong firepower after combustion, and can play an important role in defending the city at critical moments.

"Thank you, then, sir. However, the military situation is urgent, can you ask the adults to arrange for someone to deliver it to the Jade Bottle Pass now?"

"Absolutely. Wei Qixun turned to the side and said, "You go and handle it yourself, and pick the one and bring it to the unharmed son." ”

Jin Shilong, the battalion treasurer, obeyed the order, he had been with Wei Qixun for many years, and knew that this was really the ordnance he had selected to pass the jade bottle.

Wei Qixun asked about the defense of the Jade Bottle Pass again, and Jin Shilong returned a quarter of an hour later, and the ordnance was ready.

Wei Wuxian followed the two teams to escort the car back, this trip was not in vain, with this batch of ordnance, the defense of the Jade Bottle Pass has been greatly improved.

Shen Tao didn't sleep, he kept waiting, and when he saw Wei Wuxian coming over with ten carts of materials, he excitedly quickly summoned people to receive them.

Wei Wuxian handed it over to him, but he headed towards Guancheng, he was worried that the other party would send monks like last time to seize the pass, there were only three teams of people in Guancheng, and they had no chance of winning against the monks.

If it is daytime, you can see the wilderness in the distance on the second floor of the castle tower, but now except for the area of more than ten zhang near the gate, the other areas are in total darkness.

Wei Wuxian breathed for a quarter of an hour, and then began to examine the ancient mirror.

[Five Elements Formula]: The Five Elements Exercises, extremely incomplete, require 800 initial crystal silk to complete,

Host Possession Crystal: 5,246 (Initial Product)

Host's remaining lifespan: 41 years (5 years can be added to the next level)

He chose to start completing the sixth layer of the [Five Elements Technique], and in the face of the menacing Northern Barbarian cavalry, he must improve his strength as soon as possible.

The sixth layer of [Five Elements Technique] cultivates the 'Sending Gods'.

What is 'sending gods': As the name suggests, it is to send the soul of the gods to other things, which generally refer to the refining puppets or magic weapons.

Outsiders cannot use magic weapons or sword weapons after they are sent to the monks, and if they are forcibly used, they will cause great damage to magic weapons or sword weapons.

Through the magic weapon and sword weapon of the gods, the monk will be more handy and easy to control. However, there is a big flaw in the monk's use of the method of 'sending gods', that is, the 'sending gods' need to strip a trace from their own souls, which is self-evidently dangerous, and the magic weapons or sword weapons that have been 'sent to the gods' will directly damage the soul of their masters. You must know that the divine soul is the most secret and important place for all monks, so ordinary monks do not dare to use the technique of 'sending gods' at will.
