Chapter 32: Is This Witchcraft?
Huling Pass is the first pass in the northwest, which is indisputable.
However, while Huling Pass was able to help Ye State block the attacks of other countries, it also blocked the pace of Ye State's outward expansion.
This time, Chu Yujia was ready to lead his troops to bypass Huling Pass and enter the territory of Qi State, and he also needed to bypass Huling Pass, and even bypass the entire Crouching Tiger Ridge.
In the Huling Pass, no one thought that one day when the enemy soldiers approached the city, someone took the initiative to lead the troops to attack, and even in many times would not confront the other party, so the most of the units of the defenders in the Huling Pass were infantry, even if there was a number of cavalry, there were only a few.
When he heard that Chu Yujia was going to take the initiative to lead the troops to attack, many Huling guards came to Ye Bian, hoping to persuade Ye Bian to persuade Chu Yujia to give up this decision.
After all, Chu Yujia is the main general of the city guard assigned by the royal court, once he goes out of business, even if the above has already planned to let Chu Yujia die in Huling Pass, in order to calm the people's hearts, they will still be punished.
They don't want to compromise their work because of a stranger.
But in the end, Ye Bian only replied to these people with Chu Yujia's words: "Although this plan is risky, but in addition to this method, do we have any other way to retreat from the enemy?"
"Or do you think that our 100,000 people can resist the attack of the Qi State with all the strength of the whole country?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience was silent.
At this time, an adjutant general cautiously asked, "What if General Chu has an accident?"
Before Ye Bian could reply, he heard Chu Yujia's hearty voice outside: "Then I can only count on you to kill a few more Qi people to help me avenge me." β
"General Chu!"
When they saw him enter, the guards stood up and saluted.
In terms of official position, Chu Yujia's current official position is one level greater than Ye Bian's, so Ye Bian also stood up and shouted at Chu Yujia and shouted General Chu.
At this time, someone spoke: "General Tingshu wants to lead troops to break into the hinterland of Qi State?"
"Yes. β
Chu Yujia nodded and said.
"General, the Qi army is not only the 250,000 people outside the Huling Pass, there are also more than 200,000 Qi soldiers in the hinterland of the Qi country, how many people are you going to take with you?"
"Four thousand is enough. β
Four thousand?
The Qi army in the hinterland of Qi has at least 100,000, and if you add local troops, there must be more than 200,000.
He is going to take 4,000 people to break into the hinterland of Qi State, isn't this looking for death?
One of them couldn't hold his breath and sneered: "I think the general doesn't know how to march and fight at all, if the general really goes with 4,000 people, the final outcome will be that he will be dumpled by the enemy's cavalry before he enters the hinterland of Qi State." β
"That's none of your business. β
Chu Yujia raised his head and said: "I only bring 4,000 people, 4,000 veterans of the Northwest Army, and leave the rest to you to defend the city." β
Chu Yujia walked to the lobby and stood still, looked around at everyone present and said: "It's good that you all perform your duties and guard your posts, and I, an insignificant person, will naturally lead troops to fight the enemy, I don't want anything else, I just hope that everyone can unite to defend Huling Pass, even if Huling Pass is broken by the Qi army one day, then we will let the 250,000 Qi army be buried outside Huling Pass." β
"General, this is not the time for child's play. β
"I didn't play with children's play, and I didn't joke with you. β
Chu Yujia said: "I, Chu Yujia, is a Ye countryman, and you are also Ye people, now the Ye country is in trouble, if I am really unfortunate to take many brothers to die in a foreign country, then I hope you can persevere, let the Qi people see the spirit of our Ye people, if the Huling Pass is broken before I come back, you have died in battle, then I will not come back, I will kill in the Qi country, as many as I can kill, and use the blood of the Qi people to pay tribute to the souls of the brothers in the sky." β
Life is not a novel, and war is not a TV series.
Chu Yujia, a newcomer, no one understands him, and no one has affection for him.
It will not be born and died for him because of a few words of his words, nor will it be possible to give his life for him because of a few of his vows.
When he said this, many people were more disdainful and disbelieving in their hearts, thinking that this person was really too good at big words.
They admitted that Chu Yujia did have his own ability, otherwise it would not have been possible to challenge the full camp of Qi troops in front of the Qi army, and also bring back the remains of the robes that died in battle.
But if a person's force value is high, does it mean that he is good at war?
Not necessarily.
A martial artist is at most a good general, but a good general does not mean that he is a good commander.
Although everyone present didn't believe it, Ye Bian believed it, and Ye Bian bowed deeply to Chu Yujia and said, "General Chu can rest assured, I will do my best to resist the attack of the Qi army and wait for the general's triumphant return." β
Chu Yujia glanced at Ye Bian deeply, and said: "With your words, I will rest assured, when the time comes, the king will reward you, and I will share half of you, and by the way, I will make a bet with you, if I can come back alive, you have to invite me to drink, I want to drink the best Ye national wine." β
Hearing Chu Yujia's words, Ye Bian's heart was also angry: "Okay, if General Chu can come back, I Ye Bian will have the courage to bow to you." β
"No problem, as long as I can come back. β
Chu Yujia shook off the big flick and turned around and left.
Because there were very few real cavalry in Huling Pass, Chu Yujia could only collect war horses, including the war horses of the pro-army cavalry on the side of the leaves, and finally Chu Yujia handed over all these war horses to Zhuang Jiade and Xu Gaoda.
When the two received more than 2,000 war horses, they couldn't close their mouths with joy.
Is the Northwest Iron Rider finally going to appear in this world again?
That night, Chu Yujia found Zhuang Jiade, Xu Gaoda and Meng Feihang.
Now Chu Yujia can only trust and rely on these three people.
Chu Yujia explained his plan and discernment, and when Zhuang Jiade and Xu Gaoda heard it, they didn't have much opinion.
Zhuang Jiade pursed his mouth and said: "When we just went to the northwest with the old general, the northwest is located in a remote area and the materials are even more scarce than the rest of Ye State, and the barbarian soldiers on the desert often come to harass us, so before the establishment of our Northwest Army, Ye State's attitude towards barbarian states was to resist and guard. β
Chu Yujia nodded and said: "Not only that, at the beginning of the establishment of the Northwest Army, it seemed that it was also like this, the people at that time had no confidence in the royal court, let alone the Northwest Army, and even the soldiers who came to join the army were pitiful. β
"yes. β
Zhuang Jiade seemed to have returned to those difficult years and said: " Then, the old general put forward that strategy, the best defense is the best offense, so he took our first batch of Northwest Army deep into the desert and fought with the enemy for thirteen days, and completely pulled out the three tribes, since then, our Northwest Army has the same safari tradition as the desert tribes, after the new soldiers enlist in the army, they will first do infantry, then go to raise horses, and then do cavalry, and after they become cavalry, they will go deep into the desert with the veterans, fight with the desert tribes in the desert, wrestle with the enemy in the blood, and exercise the growth of recruits in this way, and then later, our Northwest Army will become famous in the northwestγ β
Chu Yujia looked at the topographic map in front of him and said: "So my meaning is also very simple, we send troops to the Qi country, just like when we are fighting with the desert tribes on the desert, we will fight a bloody way, directly enter the capital of the Qi country, and force them to retreat." β
"That's a good idea. β
Xu Gaoda raised his hand and touched his head and said: "In this place where birds don't, I really haven't fought a safari war for a long time, my hands are itching, if the major general really wants to break into the territory of the Qi army, I want to be a vanguard scout, and no one wants to rob me." β
Hearing this, Chu Yujia smiled and said, "Don't worry, no one will rob you." β
Chu Yujia glanced up at Meng Feihang and said, "Feihang, don't follow this time, you just wait for us at Huling Pass." β
"Good. β
Meng Feihang also knew his skills, if he had to go with Chu Yujia, then the final outcome would be that Chu Yujia would have to be distracted to take care of him, rather than this, it would be better to wait here.
Meng Feihang pursed his lips and asked, "When are you going to leave?"
"Tomorrow night, take advantage of the darkness of the night. β
After thinking for a while, Meng Feihang took out a clay jar from under the table and put it on the table.
Seeing this clay jar, Chu Yujia raised his eyebrows and said, "This is in the army, and you can't drink alcohol." β
"Who said it was wine?"
Meng Feihang rolled his eyes and said, "You guys come out with me." β
The three of them didn't know what was going on, but they still followed Meng Feihang out of the house and into the courtyard outside.
Just when the three of them were still in a daze, they saw that Meng Feihang had already set the clay jar in his hand on fire, and threw it out.
Bang!
An explosion sounded like thunder on the ground, and a flame rose into the air.
Seeing such a scene, the three of them were stunned.
It was Chu Yujia who reacted first, and said in a daze: "This ...... Is this sorcery?"
"What kind of witchcraft, this thing is called **. β
Meng Feihang is from modern times, although he has a belly of knowledge, but he does not have the ability to allow Chu Yujia to defeat more than 200,000 people with 100,000 people, so he can only help Chu Yujia in other aspects, such as the invention of weapons of war.
If Meng Feihang is given time, manpower and materials, he can do more than that.
β**οΌβ
Chu Yujia looked at Meng Feihang with an inexplicable face.
Now Meng Feihang didn't have time to explain any chemical knowledge to Chu Yujia, he said directly: "How to do this thing, you can't learn it if I teach you now, if you want this thing, you should hurry up and find saltpeter and sulfur, I will help you make as much as possible, and then you bring this thing, maybe it will be of great use." β
What is called may be of great use.
With the power just now, if this thing is suddenly used in the battle between the two armies, the damage to the enemy will be too great.
At this time, Chu Yujia would hesitate, so he found the edge of the leaf and asked him to collect saltpeter and sulfur in the city.
When he heard this, Ye Bian was also a little surprised, but it was Chu Yujia who ordered him to do it.
So all the soldiers of Huling Pass began to act, not for anything else, but to find saltpeter and **......
