Chapter 211: A Hammer to the Ground
"Bastards, a bunch of bastards with no eyesight!"
Gyeongju General's Mansion, Li Yuanmeng slapped the table, "Bang la!" The tea utensils on the table were all shocked by his strength and jumped up.
"My lord, it's just a bunch of villains who don't have eyesight, there's no need to be angry with them!"
"There's no need to be angry with them?!" Li Yuan's eyes were horizontal, and his face showed a calm expression, "Beiyuan has threatened my Central Plains for tens of thousands of years, and now is the time to solve it in one fell swoop and establish an immortal cause for eternity, this group of bastards actually talked about the way of forgiveness, it is simply not as good as pigs and dogs!"
"A group of grandiose dogs!" Mu Yuqing twisted his beard lightly, "Today has always been ambitious, and he wants to be the first saint monarch of the ages, of course he will not miss this opportunity to be famous through the ages, if this battle can win the Northern Yuan in one fell swoop and incorporate the entire grassland into my Great Jin, this amazing feat alone is enough to overshadow the emperors of the past and present, and the emperor will not let go of this opportunity!"
Mu Yuqing is the head of Li Yuan's staff and the first think tank, and he sees things very accurately, and everyone, including Li Yuan, is very convinced of him.
"I understand what you mean, they are grandstanding, but I just look down on these grandstanding guys, one by one, on the surface of a benevolent gentleman, open their mouths, shut up the truth, we fought in front of the life, they are good, in the back they also accuse us, saying that we kill too much, no benevolence, believe it or not, I will arrest a few of them one day and tie them all to the Northern Yuan, I think they are merciful or not?!"
"They say theirs, we do ours!" Mu Yuqing said with a smile, not answering Li Yuan's angry words, "Now that there is a fight on the Yunzhou side, our Gyeongju is the rear of Yunzhou, and all the guarantees must be complete, although Governor Ma does not have many troops on hand, but for his strength, it is very easy to hold on to the imperial army!"
"Before the imperial army marches in, we must first solve the problem of grain and grass, the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first, this is the most basic truth!" Li Yuan's anger seemed to be a little discharged, and his eyes were raised, and it was falling on the little leopard's body, "Zhou Bao, you told me a few days ago that you wanted to go to Beiyuan?!"
"Yes, my lord, going to Beiyuan to hunt the grassland master will be of great help to my martial arts practice. The little leopard said.
"Then you have to wait for a while!" Li Yuan said with a smile, "There is a batch of grain and grass to be delivered to Danyang County, Yunzhou soon, I got the rumor, some people may want to attack this batch of grain and grass, so, I am ready to transfer half of the people from the guard battalion to escort, you are the number one master under my account, and you are the deputy commander of the guard battalion, so, this time, you can't escape, but don't worry, if this time it is successfully delivered, then, I will let you go, but if something goes wrong this time, Zhou Bao, I see, you won't come back!"
The little leopard's heart sank, his body stiffened, and he said loudly, "Subordinates obey orders!"
"Okay, let's go, go back and prepare well, and set off in three days!"
........................................................................ The soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first!
Since this is a real battle to destroy the country, and in this kind of turbulent situation, the people who hold a benevolent and opposing attitude are only a minority after all, the Great Jin Dynasty court attaches great importance to it, and also pours great enthusiasm, and soldiers from all over the country continue to gather, heading towards the junction of the Great Jin and the Northern Yuan.
In the north, the border between the Great Jin Dynasty and the Northern Yuan Dynasty is thousands of miles, and several states border it, Yunzhou, only because the terrain is flat and conducive to the impact of cavalry, so it will be regarded as the main battlefield by the Northern Yuan, and outside the main battlefield, other states and counties, the Great Jin Dynasty does not dare to take it lightly, after all, now the Northern Yuan is facing the difficulty of destroying the country, God knows what kind of madness they will have?
The more at this time, the more careful you must be, and be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years.
If Beiyuan is allowed to turn the tables because of a small negligence, then this immortal feat will become a joke that will be passed down for eternity.
"Now the advantages of the Great Jin Dynasty are too great, it is no longer a certain person or a few people can change it, even the three great masters, in the face of this situation can not do anything, the Great Jin Dynasty only needs to use its own strength to put pressure on the Northern Yuan steadily, and at the same time use its own master group to suppress the Northern Yuan masters, then, everything is solved, it is only a matter of time, at most half a year, the Northern Yuan that has dominated the grassland for more than 10,000 years will no longer exist. ”
On the way back, the little leopard thought carefully, and couldn't help but feel a little funny in his heart, unconsciously, he was involved in the most important historical event in this world for tens of thousands of years, but unfortunately, although he is now a little powerful, but this strength has not yet reached the point where it can influence some things, the best way is to go with the flow, roll yourself up on the wheel of this legendary history, and drive forward.
"Hehe, escort the grain and grass, this is not bad, put Lao Tzu's hammer in the grain cart, the horse should be able to move, right?!" the little leopard secretly calculated in his heart.
His new weapon was too heavy for him to think about.
So much so that when he held the black hammer, he couldn't even ride a horse, and with a hammer of nearly two thousand catties, it was impossible to perform light skills very well, although this kid is now also a master of the bone forging world, and his strength and body are much stronger than ordinary masters of the bone forging world, but there is also a limit.
Just like when he was the commander of the navy in Jiangcheng, when he arrived at the camp, the little leopard became the commander again, handed over all the things to the people below, and returned to the room to rest.
"In three days, transporting grain and grass, there is a rumor that someone is going to attack this batch of grain and grass, it seems that this mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings!" The little leopard sighed in his heart, "I think in these three days, it is better for me to be honest and cultivate, so I don't have to meet a real master, and if I can't do it, I will be engaged in military law, then it will be a shame!"
Although he has a new weapon, he is full of confidence in himself, however, confidence is a subjective thing, it is relative, it is a good thing to have faith in himself, but blind confidence is stupid, the little leopard is not a stupid person, he knows how many pounds and taels he has.
Since Li Yuan said that he heard the rumors and someone wanted to move this batch of grain and grass, then someone must have to move, but no one knew who wanted to move.
Now it is the enemy who is in the shadows, and they are in the light.
This is the most dangerous.
"Fortunately, I have my hole cards!" The little leopard's robe sleeves rolled lightly, and forty-nine Shura Yin Evil Needles flew out, hovering around him, after such a long time of immersion in silver, the little leopard has mastered these seven seven forty-nine Shura Yin Evil Needles.
Even, the little leopard already has a feeling of blood connection and integration with this Shura Yin Evil Needle, and these seven seven forty-nine Shura Yin Evil Needles have become a part of his body, and the intention moves with the needle, without any sense of condensation.
Forty-nine black needles floated in front of the little leopard, forming a variety of different patterns with the change of his mind, changing different positions, sometimes forming a circle, sometimes juxtaposing in a row, sometimes stringing in a line, wherever his mind goes, everything goes.
"Whew!" The little leopard's sleeves rolled up, and the forty-nine Shura Yin Evil Needles disappeared, and the little leopard sat on the chair in a daze, as if thinking about something.
"With my current control over the Shura Yin Evil Needle, there is no problem in forming a formation, but I don't know what the power will be after this formation is completed!"
When he said, on the leather scroll where he recorded the use of the Shura Yin Sha Needle in detail, there was also a record of a formation, and the entire formation was composed of forty-nine Shura Yin Sha Arrays, which were said to be extremely powerful, but as for how big it was, he had never tried it.
Although he had long been yearning for this, at that time, his control over the Shura Yin Evil Needle was still in the most primitive state, and he did not have the feeling of blood connection like now, so even if he could reluctantly form these forty-nine Shura Restriction Evil Needles into a formation, he could not control the subtleties, but it was a bad thing, but now it is different.
Now, this needle has fused with his bloodline, as if it were one, even the smallest place, he can indulge freely.
"It's time to practice this formation, three days, it's enough to mature it, it can greatly increase my combat power, and in case of any special circumstances, I don't need to expose too many hole cards!"
.................................... Three days passed in a flash, and when the little leopard had completely practiced and matured the Shura Yin Sha Needle, the time to set off had arrived, because the little leopard had been a hand-shaking commander before, and he didn't even come to see when the grain and grass were loaded, so when he walked into the camp with a black hammer this time, the whole person gasped.
"Whew, my mother, so many cars?!"
Indeed, there are a lot of cars!
The whole camp was stuffed to the brim, and each cart was pulled by four healthy oxen, and the large one was pulled by more than a dozen healthy oxen.
As for the horse-drawn cart, it is rare, the speed of the horse is fast, the foot strength is good, but if you talk about endurance, it is not comparable to the oxen, the most important thing is that these healthy cattle are not only powerful animal power, can pull the cart, after being transported to the front, it is one of the sources of military food.
Looking at the battalion, there are hundreds of large and small grain and grass vehicles, hundreds of vehicles, which means that there are thousands of cattle, which are used to cook meat and soup, which is enough for tens of thousands of troops to top for a while.
"This is still the first batch and the most important batch of grain and grass!" beside the little leopard, Li Yuan looked at these grain and grass with some emotion, a total of six hundred and eighty-two carts, all handed over to you, in addition to half of the guard battalion, I also gave you three thousand military horses, you are satisfied!" "Satisfied, of course satisfied, the adults are very thoughtful!" The little leopard nodded, "However, my lord, I remember you said that there may be people who have the idea of fighting this batch of grain and grass, I know, who is it?"
"This can only be regarded as a small piece of news, it may be related to Beiyuan, now that they are in this dying situation, anything can happen, and it is not impossible to send a master to sneak in secretly to rob this batch of grain and grass!"
"Robbing this batch of grain and grass?!" the little leopard felt a little incredible, "even if they can grab so much grain and grass, they won't be able to transport it!"
"They may be burned on the spot, so that they can effectively hit the morale of our army!" Li Yuan said, "So, you have to be careful, the other party can't strike a blow, and retreat at any time, and you can't, you have to protect the safety of these grains and grass, so I will give you half a guard battalion, three thousand sergeants, and all the states and counties along the way will give you convenience, those guys with bad intentions, even if they can sneak in, but the number of people will never be too much, your troops are enough!"
"I understand this!" the little leopard sighed softly, raised his head, looked at the camp full of grain and grass, and his heart became heavy.
One after another, ox carts pulled carts full of grain and grass, walking on the wide official road, surrounded by 3,000 soldiers in armor and weapons, full of murderous spirit.
The little leopard rode on a tall horse, walking at the head of the procession, with a large knife on his waist, and those who knew him understood that the knife was for show, and his real means were not in the knife.
Next to his horse was a silver wolf, this silver wolf was tall and mighty, although it was not as big as the carefully selected horse that the little leopard was riding now, but it was not much different from the healthy oxen pulling the cart behind him, so it attracted the most attention along the way.
It's been five days, it's been five days since I left Gyeongju, and it's still far from the destination, Danyang County, Yunzhou, if you let the little leopard ride a fast horse, the horsepower will be at full speed, and it will take two days at most, but now to escort so much grain and grass, it has greatly slowed down their travel speed, of course, their time is also very abundant, a month.
Anyway, the army of the imperial court has not yet been assembled, and even if it is assembled, it will take some time to reach Yunzhou, so a month is not too long.
With this murderous 3,000 sergeants, coupled with the cooperation of the state and county governments along the way, he walked very smoothly along the way, and there was no blind guy who came to touch his tiger buttocks.
The tiger's butt can't be touched, especially at this time, although there are several powerful bandits along the way, but none of them have the courage to touch the tiger's buttocks.
"My lord, follow this official road, go a little longer, and you will arrive at the territory of Maojiang Mansion!"
In the middle of the line, a fast horse chased after him from behind, carefully avoiding Xiao Du's side, and said loudly.
"Maojiang Mansion?!" The little leopard stared, "In other words, it's about to arrive in Maojiang, right?!"
"Yes, my lord, Maojiang is ahead!"
"Did you send out the horses?!"
"I've been sent out in the morning, and now, I should be coming back soon!"
"Hmm!" the little leopard nodded expressionlessly, but his face gradually sank.
Maogang Province, located in Gyeongju, is a remote area, and is named after the Maojiang River, which has a river flowing in the house.
This Maojiang River is like the Luojiang River in Zhonghe County, there are bandits all over the river, and the situation is much more complicated than Luojiang, because it is much more remote than Zhonghe County.
The most important thing is that the Maojiang River is located in the northwest, the terrain is high in the west and low in the east, the drop is huge, the water is rushing and turbulent, only those boatmen who were born on the Maojiang River and grew up on the Maojiang River can shake the boat safely, without such high technology, you can't make a living on this river.
This is also the most difficult level of the little leopard's escort of grain and grass, after learning that someone may want to fight this batch of grain and grass idea, the little leopard will be all the dangerous places on the road have been sorted out, and finally came to a conclusion, Maojiang, is the best place to start.
Because the water is turbulent, there is no production, and there are water bandits on the river, so there are no people living on this riverside, and it is very desolate.
Generally speaking, from Gyeongju to Danyang County, Yunzhou, people are reluctant to choose this road, from the place where the Maojiang River flows most urgently, but the little leopard has no way, the entire Maojiang River, only this place where the water flow is the most urgent place has a bridge, and the rest of the places have to be ferried across the river, this is not the previous life of the little leopard, there are 10,000 tons of ships like that, a boat will solve all the problems, this river is full of boats, so much grain and grass, transported across the river by boats, how much time does it take?
Moreover, the transportation of a boat by boat is the most likely to have problems, as long as people move their hands and feet under the boat, although the little leopard's martial arts are high, but it is not three heads and six arms, and on the water, it can't take care of so many boats.
What if he bypassed the Maojiang River? It would be a long detour, and a month would not be enough time at all, so now his only choice was the bridge on the Maojiang River, and before he set out, he had already transferred all the half of the guard battalions that had come with him to escort grain and grass this time, and at the same time asked the Maojiang Mansion to cooperate and set off two large camps on both sides of the bridge.
Yes, two big battalions!
The little leopard didn't want to give the opponent any chance, and they didn't have any chance, the two big camps were set up, just by the bridge, the garrison soldiers of Shangmaojiang Prefecture were stationed in the camp, and on the river, there were sailors from the Maojiang water camp to basically ensure that the bridge was safe and sound before they arrived.
Whoever wants to fight this batch of grain and grass has the idea, look at the formation by the river, and everyone has to think about it.
"I hope they don't stupidly bump into my muzzle!" the little leopard thought to himself, he was actually quite relieved in his heart, this is the Great Jin Dynasty, even if the Northern Yuan sent people to sneak in, there would not be too many people, and there would be no big waves.
Just as he was thinking, the sound of horses' hooves in front of him sounded, and a fast horse galloped forward.
"My lord, it's our Tanma!"
"Let him come!"
"Yes!" the man slapped his horse to meet the horse that was heading straight ahead, and led it to the little leopard.
"How's the situation in Maojiang?Is there anything abnormal?!"
"Your Excellency, there is no abnormality, on both sides of the bridge, the camp is very safe, Maojiang Mansion has blocked the place within a radius of three miles, there are no idle people waiting to approach, adults can pass with confidence.
"Very well, I hope I can pass with confidence!" the little leopard smiled and patted his horse forward.
After walking for a while, there was a loud sound of running water in my ears, at first very small, then louder and louder, and when I saw the camp by the river, the sound of the water was like thunder, and the sound shook all over the world.
"The sound of the water is so loud?!" the little leopard frowned slightly, although he had long heard of the turbulent flow of the Maojiang River, but the rushing water of the river could make such a huge sound, which was really unexpected for him.
"My lord, from west to east, the river surface is more than ten miles away, the drop is more than 20 zhang, and there are many rocks on the riverside, so the sound of the water is a little louder!" explained a soldier familiar with the local situation.
The little leopard nodded, did not speak, just urged the horse forward, and the chariots and horses behind him followed him, slowly moving in the direction of the camp.
At the same time, there were also a few horsemen rushing out of the big battalion, and it was the soldiers of the personal guard battalion sent out by the little leopard in advance.
The two horses galloped in front of the little leopard, and immediately the knight flew off his horse, "See your lord!"
"It's all your own brothers, you don't have to be so formal!" the little leopard smiled, and also got off the horse to help the two of them, "How is it, the situation is okay?!"
"Everything is normal!" said one of the guards, "Don't worry, my lord, there are so many of us, I don't believe it, which thing that doesn't have long eyes dares to come to our bad luck!"
"Shhh
Before the words fell, Xiao Du, who was in front of the little leopard horse, suddenly raised his head and let out a low roar.
The little leopard's expression changed suddenly, Xiao Du had a spiritual connection with him, so when Xiao Du discovered the abnormality, his heart also moved, and a sense of danger hit his heart.
His body stiffened, his eyes flashed with light, and he snorted coldly, "What kind of person, sneaky, come out!"
"Hula-la-!"
With the little leopard's cold drink, the soldiers around him were all unsheathed, and the cold light was shining.
After that, there was a dead silence.
Except for the thunderous sound of the water and the whirring of the wind, no one made a sound.
After a long time, there was still no movement, and the soldiers who pulled out their weapons and waited for the battle all showed strange expressions on their faces, looked at the little leopard, and said in their hearts, "This adult can't be blind, right?!"
"You are indeed very powerful, the breath of your whole body is perfectly hidden, if it weren't for Xiao Du's reminder, I really wouldn't have been able to find you!" The little leopard waited for a while, and when he saw that no one spoke, a sneer flashed at the corner of his mouth, and he said loudly, raising his hand and grabbing the ox cart behind him.
The surrounding air froze, and in the ox cart, a black shadow slowly rose, it was the little leopard's new weapon, the black hammer.
Nearly two thousand catties of black hammer hung in the air, slowly flying towards the little leopard, even if the speed was not fast, even if his size was not exaggerated, but just the weight of nearly two thousand catties was enough to give people a terrifying sense of oppression.
"Since Your Excellency is unwilling to come out, then, I don't mind inviting you out!" The black hammer flew steadily into the hands of the little leopard and was firmly held in the palm of his hand.
"Whew!"
When the little leopard held the black hammer in his hand, his wrist shook slightly, and a violent wind instantly rolled around his body.
"Whew, crackling, crackling!"
When the wind disappeared, the body of the little leopard also disappeared at the same time, appearing in the air several feet high, the black hammer was raised high, carrying a domineering intention that dominated the world, from top to bottom, towards an open place behind.
"Three hammers to turn the sky upside down, one hammer to the ground!"
(To be continued)
