The old head of the Wan household thought for a while: "In the past, when we attacked the Li Dynasty, it was when the grass was high in autumn and the horses were fat, and there was a lack of food and clothing in winter, and the horses were thin and weak, and they were unbearable to fight. Pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info great witch wishes, it's not that we don't dare to fight, but this is a battle to the death, let the warriors die in vain, it's not worth it." ”

Dawu Zhu: "I naturally will not let the warriors die in vain, I will pray to the immortal heaven, go against the sky, let the grass grow on the grassland, raise the war horses to be fat and strong, and I will also agree to reclaim part of the land for planting divine beans, so that the warriors can fill their stomachs." Although I didn't want to plant divine beans on the grassland, but this time we attacked the Li Dynasty with the whole country, we must not lose the opportunity, the time will not come again, survive or perish, we only have this one chance, so I not only agree to plant divine beans, but also do my best to ask the immortal heaven to send down spiritual power, urge the growth of divine beans, and obtain an unprecedented harvest!"

The head of the old Wan household thought for a while and said: "The problem of grain, grass and horses has been solved, and I have nothing else to worry about." The border soldiers of the Li Dynasty have been fighting with us for more than 2,000 years, and they never thought that we would attack when the snow is falling in winter. From the Great Wall to the capital, the rest of the road is a smooth road, as long as the army bypasses a few cities blocking the road, and runs on horseback for four or five days, it can reach the capital!"

At this time, Da Wu Zhu waved his hand, and immediately someone hung up a map, this map, but it was drawn by the profiteers of the Li Dynasty to help the Hu people, caravans all over the world, the map was drawn in great detail, even how many soldiers were guarded on the border pass, who was the leader of the troops, what his temperament was, there were records, obviously the great Wu Zhu of all dynasties had always wanted to step on the Li Dynasty, and made great efforts to depict this map.

However, in the hands of the contemporary Da Wu Zhu, he corrected many contents on the map according to the map textbook compiled by Guo Dalu, which was not only more accurate, but also tried to use contour lines in some places.

Da Wu Zhu pointed to the front line of the Great Wall and said: "In this national battle, we will attack it unprepared, avoid the dangerous pass and fortified city, first send a few light cavalry, and enter the pass along several breaches of the Great Wall. Once we entered the pass, we took advantage of the heavy snow to close the road, and attacked from behind the back of several fortified cities such as Dingyuan Pass and Zhenyuan Pass. After taking Dingyuan and other cities, we can rely on the grain, grass, and weapons hoarded in the city to replenish our combat strength, and continue to move south, until we reach the capital of the Li Dynasty. ”

The captains looked at the map, exchanged their heads with each other, and nodded their heads one after another, believing that this method of the Great Witch Zhu could indeed be done, and there was a great certainty of success. Whenever winter comes, because of the heavy snow to close the road, a large number of grain and grass are difficult to travel, the border pass and the interior are almost cut off, equivalent to a lonely city, at this time attack, and is the front and back attack, can be completely broken in one drum.

Although Bayintru is the head of a thousand households, he is a close confidant of Da Wuzhu, and because he is an intriguer, he goes deep into the Li Dynasty and is familiar with the enemy's internal situation, so he also participated in the conference.

He coughed lightly and said, "Great Wu Zhu, the city of the border pass is easy to go down, but the capital of the Li Dynasty is difficult to attack." His subordinates once went to the capital of Licheng, and the city wall was dozens of zhang high, and non-human beings could cross it. After our army captured the border cities, there were carrier pigeons in the Li Dynasty army to communicate, and there were also some cultivators' magic weapons that could transmit sound for thousands of miles. Once we can't conquer the capital in a short time, the Li Dynasty troops in all directions will surround it, although the Li Dynasty soldiers are not as good at fighting as my grassland warriors, but the ants bite the elephant to death, we must not worry. ”

The Great Khan also nodded: "Great Wu Zhu, my grassland soldiers are good at field warfare, thousands of miles of attack, but short of conquering the fortified city, if you can't gnaw the capital of the Li Dynasty, no matter how many victories you have before, it will only be in vain, and you have to be the same as before, when the soldiers and civilians from all over the Li Dynasty surrounded them, they withdrew from the Great Wall, at most, they only brought some looted gold and silver treasures and female slaves." ”

Da Wu Zhu smiled rarely: "If it was before today, I wouldn't be sure to conquer the capital of the Li Dynasty, in such a national war, it is impossible for Changshengtian to directly send spiritual power to help us attack the city, but if Bayintru brings something, it is the best weapon to attack the strong city!"

Not only the soldiers, but even Bayintru was in a daze, not knowing what the siege weapon was talking about.

Dawu Zhu waved his hand: "I have ordered my clever craftsmen to try this thing, you might as well go outside and have a look." ”

The Great Khan and the heads of ten thousand households made a noise and came out of the golden tent, only to see a strange wooden frame standing in the open space outside the camp, with two long wooden "arms" in front and back, Bayintru recognized it after just one glance: "This is a strange device invented by Mr. Houlong!"

Da Wuzhu nodded and said: "Yes, I call this thing a cannon, which is used to attack the city, and it is the most suitable." Speaking of which, Da Wu Zhu also has a few skilled craftsmen under him, and it turns out that since he became fascinated by all kinds of strange things produced in Houlong Village, he asked the Great Khan for some craftsmen captured from the Li Dynasty, and saw that Tian'er asked them to tinker with all kinds of new ingenious things from Houlong Village.

The Great Khan wished that the Great Witch Zhu was demoralized by the Great Witch Zhu - this is a phrase that the Great Witch Zhu often blamed the Great Khan, but he also learned - so he encouraged and supported the Great Witch Zhu and the craftsmen to toss around, but not to mention, the craftsmen really tossed some things, such as the waterwheel from Houlong Village, new farm tools, etc.

Da Wu Zhu just sent over a few drawings and asked them to immediately build a cannon according to the drawings, and the craftsmen actually made it.

Da Wuzhu personally commanded, and a group of strong serfs stood under the long arm, pulling the belt that the long arm was tethering, and at the same time, two more serfs carried a huge round ball and placed it in the basket of the other long arm.

Da Wu Zhu held a torch in his hand, put it on the ball, and boom, the ball burned throughout, but it turned out that the ball was made of hay, and it was soaked in oil, and it was on fire.

The Great Khan and the heads of all the households looked at the burning fireball and were a little puzzled, and set the grass on fire to the enemy, which is not uncommon in the grassland, when the hostile tribes are fighting, the first step is often to burn the opponent's forage, which can not only cause a fire, cause chaos in the enemy's camp, but also burn the opponent's grain and grass, so that the enemy has no food and is defeated.

At this moment, Da Wuzhu shouted: "Pull!"

The serfs, who had already held the belt, shouted in unison, pulled the belt in their hands down, and with a bang, the long arm holding the belt fell heavily, and the long arm at the other end stilted up and threw the fireball in the basket.

The fireball crossed an arc in the air, like a meteor breaking through the sky, smashing heavily into the distance, boom, and exploded into a sky-high flame!

The Great Khan was also an old man, and when he saw that strange wooden frame with a fireball, he was so powerful, and slapped his thigh heavily: "This thing is good! Throw the fireball so high and so far that you can cross the border wall of the Li Dynasty and burn the inner city to the ground!"

The heads of the ten thousand households next to them also nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, we used to attack the Li Dynasty city, and we also attacked it with fire, but at most we only used rockets, and the arrows that were shot into it were quickly covered by the Li Dynasty soldiers and civil sand and stones." But this great witch's cannon is so powerful that a mere cannon is worth a team of archers. ”

Dawu Zhu said: "My cannon, you can use fireballs, you can also use stone bullets, if you attack such a Xiongguan as the capital of the Li Dynasty, the fireball is matched with stone bullets, first burn its inner city, so that it can be chaotic without a fight, and then use stone bullets to attack the city wall -- as far as I know, the city wall of the capital of the Li Dynasty is only blue bricks on the outside and rammed earth on the inside, and if a stone bullet goes down, the city wall will collapse! At that time, our cavalry will rush in from the breach, and the entire Li Dynasty will be the Hu clan!"

All the heads of all the households shouted in unison: "We will win! We will win!"

The Great Khan was also so excited that he clenched his hands into fists, he was the lord of a country, and his ambition to dominate the world was immersed in his entire bloodline, from his ancestors to him, but the repeated attacks on Li Chao did not make him a little discouraged, anyway, he could live his free life on the grassland, so he did not want to forge ahead. But now, Da Wu Zhu has put forward a very effective plan for a surprise attack on the Li Dynasty, and has even taken out the artifact of artillery, this battle will be won!

The Great Khan pulled out his golden knife and waved it into the air: "The generals will obey the order!"

The heads of the ten thousand households knelt down together to receive the order, and the Great Khan sang loudly -- but it turned out that the Hu people of the steppe were vulgar, did not learn to write, and even the Great Khan could not read, and they used singing to issue orders, and the herald was also singing, so as not to mistake the order, but listening to the lyrics of the Great Khan, they arranged for the heads of ten thousand households, immediately straightened out their soldiers and horses, fed the horses to their fill, sharpened their swords, and immediately sent troops to the Great Wall as soon as the heavy wind and snow stopped. Prior to this, in order to avoid the vigilance of the border pass of the Li Dynasty and the collection of tribes of all sizes, rangers were not allowed to enter the pass, let alone fight in the grass valley.

In the past, when the Hu invaded the Li Dynasty, they would attack the grass valley on the border of the Li Dynasty in advance, attacking the peasants who had crossed the Great Wall to reclaim wasteland. This move can replenish supplies and food, capture laborers, and clear out the spies of the Li Dynasty who may be hiding among the peasants who have been reclaimed wasteland. At the same time, the Hu people were also able to discover the weaknesses of the Li Dynasty's border pass in the process of fighting the grass valley, and then gather a large army to break it with one drum.

But this time, in order to achieve the suddenness of the attack, the Great Khan went against the norm and strictly ordered the horses not to enter the customs!

The heads of the ten thousand households also know that this war is related to the thousand-year-old national fortune of the Hu people, and if they win, they will be able to dominate the world, and if they lose, the Hu cavalry will no longer be able to enter the customs, and it is even possible that the Li Dynasty, which has enough food to give birth to more than one billion people, will even occupy the grassland.

The generals shouted yes, hurriedly took the order, the army went out, the Great Khan only issued an order, and the specific work of the army and warfare was the responsibility of the head of the ten thousand households, in fact, the state of the Hu nationality was relatively simple, the head of the ten thousand households was in charge of both the army and the people, and even the production of the serfs had to be taken care of by them.

This is why although the Great Khan has been suppressing the power of the Great Witch Zhu, he still continues to cut off the connection between the heads of the ten thousand households and the Great Witch Zhu, you think about it, the soldiers, herdsmen, serfs under the head of the ten thousand households are sick, give birth to children, and the cattle are healed, all of them have to find the Great Witch Zhu, and even the head of the ten thousand households himself, sometimes he can't settle the accounts when he takes care of the business, and he also has to consult the Great Witch Zhu.

There are even some brainy heads of ten thousand households, who send their children to Dawu's tent to learn simplified Chinese characters and numbers - there is no way, Li Chaolai's merchants now use simplified characters, numbers and new ledgers, and if they want to make money, they will not be deceived by treacherous businessmen, so they have to learn.

The Great Khan watched the heads of ten thousand households ride away, and after a while, there was a sound of orders and horns in the military camp next to him, and the Great Khan nodded with satisfaction, the Hu people are worthy of being the best tribe on the grassland, even if it is such a snowy day, they can immediately recruit them to fight as soon as they give an order, climb the ice and lie in the snow, and do not hesitate, Li Chao Those soldiers lying on soft beds, where are the opponents of the grassland heroes?

The Great Khan touched his beard and said to the Great Witch: "Great Witch Zhu, pray to the Immortal Heaven to let the grassland grow green grass in winter, and the siege weapon to make your cannon, all of which are handed over to you." ”

Da Wuzhu nodded: "I will immediately go to the holy lake to bathe and purify, and pray to the immortal heaven with the most devout prayer, as for the cannon - there are no big trees on the grassland, I can only make a small amount, as long as I cross the Great Wall, casually capture a border pass, and demolish the people's houses, there will be a large amount of wood and masonry, which can be used to make artillery, and by the way, there are even artillery stones." ”

The Great Khan laughed: "That's right, that's right, that's the method, what is this called, you told me before, what is it called enemy food--"

Da Wu Zhu said with a smile: "It is because the enemy takes grain, this is also said by Mr. Houlong of the Li Dynasty, he said that taking one bucket of grain on the enemy's land is better than transporting three buckets of grain from his own country to the front line." ”

The Great Khan laughed: "That's right, that's right, then Mr. Houlong is also a little smart, when I take the capital of the Li Dynasty and become the Khan of the Heavens, I can let him be my official, don't the people of the Li Dynasty like to be an official the most? I named Mr. Houlong a big official, let him be the prime minister, I heard that this official is in the Li Dynasty, it is under one person, above ten thousand." Ah, no, wait, this prime minister should be the one you want to do--"

Da Wu Zhu shook his head in his heart, the Great Khan didn't know anything about the official system of the Li Dynasty, the prime minister was just an official of the emperor, and the emperor was not happy, he could take off his black gauze hat and even go to prison, and Da Wu Zhu was the spokesperson of Changshengtian, and he was faintly on an equal footing with the Great Khan on the grassland, how could it be generalized.

However, it was wise for the Great Khan to invite Mr. Houlong as an official, and after the Hu people occupied the Li Dynasty, they could no longer govern the country like on the grassland. Some soldiers said that all the land of the Li Dynasty was used to grow grass and raise horses, and they were really confused. However, the original foolish officials and nerd scholars of the Li Dynasty, Da Wuzhu also looked down on them, and in his heart, he should also rely on a talent like Mr. Houlong to govern the Li Dynasty.

To put it mildly, in Da Wu Zhu's heart, after the Hu clan ruled the world, he was still the Great Wu Zhu, but Tian Khan could let Mr. Houlong Guo Dalu be the one, as long as Guo Dalu offered the most respectful loyalty to himself and knelt at his feet--Da Wu Zhu's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly shook his head, as if he wanted to drive some messy thoughts out of his mind.

He hurriedly bid farewell to the Great Khan, and returned to his tent, preparing to go to the holy lake to pay homage to the Immortal Heaven.

Sitting in the tent, Da Wu Zhu ordered his cronies to prepare for the heavenly sacrifices, and at the same time, he was not without worries, to be honest, he was a little worried--worried about Mr. Houlong Guo Dalu.

The cannon was made by Guo Dalu, he must have a way to restrain himself, and he used the cannon to attack the capital of Li Chao, isn't this an axe?

But Da Wu Zhu still holds a trace of luck, this cannon is Guo Dalu's self-made immortal magic weapon, maybe he is not necessarily willing to teach it to the imperial court, no, no, I heard that Guo Dalu has been canonized by the old emperor, and the country is the same as the family, once Hu Qi breaks through the pass and besieges the capital, how can he stand idly by?

Da Wu Zhu stood up suddenly, he was wrong, he was all wrong! The battle to dominate the world did not lie in a sneak attack on a snowy day or an artillery attack on the city, but in Guo Dalu! He had an intuition that Guo Dalu was himself and the biggest enemy of the Hu people!

An idea suddenly flashed in his heart, this idea was a little vague at first, and when it first came out, it even startled him, but soon this thought became clearer and clearer, more and more clear, and finally Da Wu Zhu gritted his teeth and slapped the case a few times - just do it!

The Great Witch stood up suddenly: "Are the things to sacrifice to the heavens ready?" The maids hurriedly responded: "It's ready." Da Wu Zhu waved his hand: "Go to the Holy Lake!"

Da Wu Zhu rode a big green horse, with a few maids straight to the holy lake, when passing through the camp, the soldiers and serfs next to him had already heard that Da Wu Zhu wanted to beg for immortality, turn winter into spring, and kowtowed to his back again and again.

After a day and a night, Dawuzhu came to the Holy Lake, which is a lake in the grassland, under the blue sky, like a mirror, and miraculously, although the lake is covered with thick snow, the sacred lake does not freeze.

The Great Witch Zhu waved his hand, and the maids put the heavenly sacrifice beside him, quietly retreated, and rode out of the land for a mile before reining in the horse. When the Great Witch celebrates the heavens, no one is allowed to watch from the sidelines, otherwise natural disasters will fall.

Da Wu Zhu opened the things that the maid brought to the heavens, but they were some hay, dry fruits, animal skins, bones and other things, he smiled lightly, and casually threw these sundries into the grass at his feet, these things that sacrificed to the heavens were recorded in the treasures of the great witch Zhu of the past dynasties, but in fact, only the big witch Zhu himself knew, this is all fake!

What is really used to sacrifice to the Immortal Heaven is something else!

Da Wu Zhu took off his clothes one by one, and soon, he was like he had just come out of his mother's womb, and then he took a jade knife and swiped it lightly on his wrist, and a bloody cut immediately appeared on his wrist, but the miraculous thing is that the blood did not drip down.

Da Wu Zhu walked into the holy lake step by step, the wound on his wrist touched the lake water, and then slowly dissolved, Da Wu Zhu floated on the surface of the lake, his eyes closed, as if he was asleep, only his eyelids were gently turning.

There was not much blood flowing out of the wrist of the Great Witch Zhu, but for some reason, the entire Holy Lake turned bloody, and when viewed from the air, the Holy Lake became a huge eye, and the Great Witch Zhu floating in it was like a pupil - well, it can also be said that the Holy Lake was like a huge bowl-shaped antenna, and the Great Witch Wish was the most central receiving unit.

Da Wu Zhu's heart was empty, and there seemed to be some voice in his mind, this voice was invisible, it was the will of the Immortal Heaven!

The Great Witch Blessing meditates silently, prays to the Immortal Heaven, reverses the four seasons, and makes the winter grassland full of flowers and grass.

However, for some reason, Changshengtian did not respond immediately, neither refused the prayer of the Great Witch Wish, nor did he answer it--this, this is too strange! In the past, the Great Witch Blessing offered blood sacrifice, and he could immediately get Immortal Heaven's response, yes or no, just a thought.

However, what happened this time? Could it be that something had changed? Could it be that the Immortal Heaven did not allow the people of the grassland to use their own strength to help them attack the Li Dynasty at the right time?

That's impossible!

This is not the first time that Dawu Zhu has begged for immortality to give him the power that he has not in the world to defeat the cultivators of the Li Dynasty, otherwise, no matter how fast the scimitar wielded by the heroes of the grassland, it will not be able to defeat the flying sword and thunder of the cultivators of the Li Dynasty.
