Guangxian Temple (later known as Kulun, now Ulaanbaatar, Outer Mongolia), the residence of the Khalkha Mongolian "living Buddha" Jebtsundamba.

Jebtsundampa, whose real name is Taranatha, is known as the first person to be born in the body poison (India) and is one of the five hundred bhikshus of Shakyamuni Buddha. After the reincarnation of the fifteenth life, he was finally reincarnated in Wusizang (Tibet).

The reincarnation of a living Buddha, this is tantric nonsense.

If everyone could be reincarnated, then the number of life on Earth should be fixed.

There are more and more human beings, which can be explained by the fact that animals from previous lives have also been reincarnated as humans.

If the animals of the previous life can also be reincarnated as humans, it means that the number of animals will be reduced.

However, not only has the population of the earth increased indefinitely, but the number of livestock has also increased dramatically in order to feed the indefinite increase in population.

What are these creatures that have been added out of thin air, but what are they recarnating?

I don't know, no one knows.

What no one knows, it's all made by the Buddha.

If it was created by the Buddha, then it violated the reincarnation system of reincarnation and rebirth, and slapped himself in the mouth.

Of course, Xiong Chu doesn't care if it's reincarnation or not, whether it's reincarnation.

The problem now is that his army of nearly 10,000 must cross the Mongolian plateau to the west before he can talk about going west in search of his master.

To enter the Mongolian Plateau, it is necessary to pass through the site of the Gwanghyun Temple.

No matter how much nonsense this living Buddha of Taranatha is, he has people who believe it.

The great slave owners of the Transkhalkha tribes, such as Khan, Jinun, and Noyan, were particularly convinced.

They feel that they have not enjoyed the glory and wealth of this life, and they must continue to enjoy it in the next life.

In order for those big slave owners to be able to reincarnate themselves, it is very important to protect the living Buddhas who can reincarnate themselves, so it is definitely not easy to get through here.

Xiong Chu knew that the future was difficult and dangerous, and the military advisor Wan Lian naturally knew that the road ahead was not easy.

After completely clearing the remnants of the Chechen Khan's fortress on the south bank of the Shilka River, Xiong Chu and his military advisor Wan Lian let their troops rest for two months.

Of course, these two months are not just about eating and sleeping, and there is definitely a need for military training.

Since you want to train soldiers, you need sparring.

This sparring partner was none other than the neighbor to the west of the Chechen Khan's Shuo Fortress: the Tushetu Khan of the Great Khan Gunbu.

Shuolei, Gunbu, and Tumen in the west were the three brothers, and their forces were the Chechen Khan in the east, the Tushetu Khan in the middle, and the Zasak Khan in the west.

Because the military advisor Wan Lian ordered the troops to stay awake for three consecutive days, they chased the army of the Chechen Khan Shuo Fortress to the sky with no way to enter the ground, and finally were forced to the south bank of the Shilka River.

There is no way forward, and there are pursuers behind, so they can only surrender.

Things happened so fast that Mobei Sanhan didn't have time to react.

By the time the Great Khan Gunbu of the Tushetu Khan Department in the middle got the news, it was already a month later.

The daylily has long been cold, and even if you want to rescue it, you can't find a target, so Tushetu Khan Gunbu can only give up.

Gunbu Khan can give up, but Prince Xiong and the military advisor Wan Lian will not give him a chance.

Just when Gunbu Khan thought he was safe, the enemy had already appeared at the location of the Khan's court: fifty miles southwest of Chaomodo.

Not only did the enemy suddenly appear, but he also ate the 3,000 men of the guard battalion guarding the Khan's court with a single look.

The Khan court of Tushetu Khan fell, and 12,000 households were taken captive.

Gunbu Khan did not live in the Khan's Court, although Xiong Chu and the military advisor Wan Lian thought that they could catch Gunbu Khan, but they really never lived at home.

Gunbu Khan lives in the Xianguang Monastery in the north and accompanies the living Buddha every day, hoping to ensure that he will be reincarnated in the next life and continue to enjoy the blessings.

Although he didn't catch Gunbu himself, but after taking Gunbu's Khan Court, Prince Xiong naturally made a fortune.

What made Prince Xiong and the military advisor Wan Lian very excited was the two hundred and sixty camels that they had received from Gunbu Khan, and among them there were twenty-four white camels that were very precious.

Camels are the ships of the desert, both in endurance and in carrying capacity, they are much stronger than horses, and they are hard-working pacesetters.

"Strategist, why do you want to occupy Nanhan Mountain?"

Regarding Wan Lian's military plan for emergency deployment, Xiong Chu was a little puzzled: "Our purpose is to advance westward quickly, and now there are no large numbers of enemies here, so it is a good opportunity to quickly escape?"

Wan Lian smiled slightly: "What the lord said is extremely true. We ate 3,000 of the opponent's elites, but Gunbu's military strength was intact. You know, to the west is Tumen Khan, who is the brother of Gunbu Khan. If we don't defeat Gunbu completely, the two brothers will be caught between the east and west, and we will be doomed. ”

"The Khan's court has been lost, and more than 10,000 of the most loyal households have been transferred by Helangen, and Gunbu Khan must fight back wildly, otherwise he will not be able to gain a foothold here in the future. Take this opportunity to deal him a heavy blow, so that we can continue to move westward without worries. ”

"By seizing Nanhan Mountain, we occupy a favorable position. Coupled with the mountains of materials that have been obtained this time, it doesn't matter even if it is a stalemate for half a year. All the treasures that have been looted by the three generations of Gunbu are here, and he will definitely not let us take them lightly. Hahaha-"

Nanhan Mountain is a watershed of three water systems, from which the Tula River in the west, the Hara River in the north, and the Shilka River in the east all originate.

Since it can give birth to three water systems, the natural forests of Nanhan Mountain are dense, the scenery is beautiful, and the environment is pleasant.

Of course, a place with mountains, water, and forests is a good place, so the girls are happier than the other.

However, after only three days of joy, the girls were not happy, because the military advisor Wan Lian ordered three thousand soldiers to go up the mountain and cut down the big trees below the halfway up the mountain.

The originally picturesque place turned into barren mountains and bald mountains in the blink of an eye, and the girls were naturally not happy.

However, the girls are chameleons, and after half a month, they began to be happy again.

Because half a month later, a huge castle was built in the barren mountains and bald mountains, and among them was a four-story building made of logs, which was specially given to the girls.

The girls live in a brand new castle and only have one thing to do: to observe every day what is going on and see where the enemy has gone.

The huge trees that have been cut down are piled up, and it is definitely not enough to build a castle, and it is also a temporary castle.

The craftsman's camp has all begun, rushing to make bows and arrows, build weapons, repair birds, and replace horseshoes.

Although the resources of Monan are scarce, Mobei is rich in resources, and there are many iron ores and a lot of coal.

Xiong Chu couldn't open his own mine, so he just took the things he had accumulated and used them for waste.

Wan Lian and Xiong Chu decided to build a temporary castle here, and in addition to preparing to pack up the army of guncloth, the most important thing was to find a large amount of fierce fire oil here.

Xiong Chu and Wan Lian didn't know where Gon Bu got it back from, and hoarded tens of thousands of catties of fierce fire oil in his own home.

Armed with the fire oil, the Artisan Battalion decided to make a batch of flamethrowers, which were a sharp weapon against the enemy's cavalry phalanx. In addition, a batch of thunderbolts were made, which was a sharp weapon for siege.

The so-called flamethrower is just an enlarged version of the pump for children to play. In fact, you can't breathe fire, you can only spray oil.

However, the guerrilla team of the Shooting Battalion can shoot 240 paces out, and when the time comes, they will be able to shoot fuel first and then rockets, and then they will be able to achieve the effect of a fire attack.

Thunder is just a second kick used by the common people during the New Year's holidays, and it is also an enlarged version, and it is fired with a squat cannon for a second explosion and arson.

Later, Xiong Chu felt that the round jar only put some fierce fire oil in it, and the effect was not very good. It's better to put in some iron nails, lead beads, and iron sand. If it explodes like this, it can kill and injure enemies in a large area.

A word wakes up the dreamer.

Those "old experts" in the craftsman camp brainstormed and finally invented a secondary explosive projectile fired using a squat cannon, which was named the flowering projectile.

The squatting cannon is actually the tiger squat cannon that Qi Jiguang said back then. This time, there are two types of tiger squat cannons:

The first type is two feet long, two inches thick in the abdominal hole, weighs 36 catties, and is made of wrought iron. Seven taels of gunpowder are used each time, and 100 buckshot bullets weighing five coins can be fired.

The second type is two feet long, four inches thick in the abdominal hole, and weighs fifty pounds, and is also made of wrought iron. Each time you use eight taels of gunpowder, you can fire a four-inch flowering bullet, or 180 buckshot bullets weighing five coins.

Before the cannon is fired, the muzzle of the cannon is sealed with dirt to accumulate the air pressure of the gunpowder explosion, thereby increasing the range.

Because the tiger squat cannon has a huge recoil, after repeated verification, the craftsmen used red copper to cast the chute base to prevent the cannon from jumping around.

There are two iron braces behind the base of the chute, and when preparing the gun position, the two iron braces are fixed to the ground, and the two wooden wedges are knocked down to prevent rebound.

After the final test, the base of the two-inch Tiger Squat Cannon was 42 catties, and the body of the cannon was 78 catties, and the base of the four-inch Tiger Squat Cannon was 58 catties, and the body of the cannon was 100 and 8 catties.

Xiong Chu was very excited to see the effect of the cannon: "Okay, it's not difficult for a camel to transport a cannon, and a camel to transport gunpowder and projectiles." Four gunners carried two bird guns and two bows to form a gun crew. Since this kind of thing can run with cavalry, it is called a cavalry cannon. ”

Wan Lian considered the issue of troop establishment: "My lord, according to the calculation of four people and one cannon, to form a cavalry artillery battalion of 400 people, you need 100 artillery, 200 bird guns, 200 bows, 200 camels, and 400 war horses. ”

Xiong Chu nodded: "Don't worry about bows and arrows, there are 1,700 bows and more than 60,000 arrows in the armory of Gunbu." After all the Chige's shooting battalions are inspected, the best ones are picked out and taken away, which is enough. I know you're talking about forging cannons and making birds, right?"

Wan Lian said with a smile: "I just want to say hello to the lord, and I must not leave here in a hurry." Because of the long journey, we can't take these iron lumps with us, and it would be a pity to leave them to Gunbu. Moreover, the sulfur and fire nitrate here are ready-made, and now people are organizing people to burn charcoal, and a batch of gunpowder can also be refined. ”

Xiong Chu stretched out his hand and pointed at Wan Lian and said: "Anyway, it's already early August, and it will snow in two months, so stick to it until the beginning of spring next year." With more than eight months, you should be about the same, right?"

In a row of two months, dozens of cavalry squads appeared near Zhaomodo to reconnoitre, but Gunbu never mobilized a large army to come.

Since the enemy is not moving, Xiong Chu naturally has what he wants, and he will definitely not take the initiative to find himself uncomfortable, as if he didn't see the enemy's reconnaissance cavalry.

Xiong Kaishan led the hussar battalion and Liu Guozhi led the Xiao cavalry battalion to camp in Zhaomoduo, and the two large battalions formed a corner and strictly guarded the north gate of Nanhan Mountain.

Zhou Laosi's scout battalion and Chige's shooting battalion were all released, the purpose of which was to patrol the surrounding area and prevent the enemy from secretly making trouble.

Although Xiong Chu and Wan Lian didn't know what Gong Bu was doing, such a good opportunity could not be wasted, so all aspects of the work were being carried out in an orderly manner, and the speed was getting faster and faster, and the new equipment was also updated synchronously.
