"No! We must not allow the 'Yu Family Army' to revive!"
Several forces came up with this idea unanimously without any discussion.
They are still plotting secretly.
As a result, in late autumn and early winter, a main force of Beirong bypassed Xicheng and went straight to the attached city.
The man in charge of the troops was the third prince of Beirong Khan, a ruthless man with a great reputation.
Not only did he kill people, he also massacred the city.
Wherever he passed, corpses lay everywhere and blood flowed into rivers. He could be called a butcher among butchers.
He led 3,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry, and rushed down the mountain towards the annexed city like a tiger.
He Tiantian had received the report from the scouts and quickly made preparations to defend against the enemy.
"Kuro, can we defend the attached city?"
Standing on the observation deck of Beida Camp, looking at the soldiers and horses stationed on the grassland in the distance, Yu Che couldn't help but feel worried.
Regardless of whether you are timid or not, the cruel reality is right in front of you.
He whispered: "We only have five thousand troops, and there are only two thousand cavalry among them."
"The third prince of Beirong leads eight thousand soldiers. Whether it is cavalry or the total number of soldiers, it far exceeds ours!"
The key point is that people have grown up on horses. From the time they learn to walk, they start learning to ride a horse.
As for the people in their Beida camp, many of them are new recruits.
Some of them don't even know how to ride a horse, and have never even touched a weapon.
Of course, Jiulang trained well and practiced for several months, finally turning a group of rookies into brave and tough veterans.
However, such veterans are still far behind compared to the Beirong cavalry who are good at riding and shooting.
Yu Che desperately hopes that the Yu family army can win and defend the attached city, but he must also prove the truth.
"Don't worry, brother, I will definitely make sure these people never come back!"
"Don't forget, I have prepared a big killer weapon."
He Tiantian said with a smile, with a childish face, but full of confidence and a flamboyant smile.
"Big killer weapon? What exactly is it?"
"In the past few months, you have asked Wulang's caravan to buy a lot of things, and you have also built several workshops. Many craftsmen have stayed in the workshops, working on them for a month or two."
"I heard that a workshop in Xishan outside the city was bombed last time. Fortunately, no one was killed."
When it came to the big killer weapon, Yu Che couldn't help but be curious.
He had asked He Tiantian before, but his good cousin always told him: "No rush! No rush!! When it's done, I'll just see the results!"
What effect?
Could it be possible to blow up the workshop again like thunder?
Now, at the most critical moment, the life and death of the attached city and the new Yu family army depend on this moment.
It’s time to take out that big killer weapon and let everyone see it.
"...I heard that these fierce Beirong also believe in gods."
He Tiantian did not directly answer Yu Che's question. She looked at Beirong's barracks, then at the sky, and said quietly, "Today, I will let Beirong know what it means to be angry!"
Later generations have long concluded that only thermal weapons can truly effectively defeat the cavalry.
He Tiantian was not only farming and training soldiers in the attached city, she also asked Yu Xing to pass the caravan and get a lot of supplies.
In addition, He Tiantian also asked craftsmen who were familiar with soil to discover a large saltpeter mine in a mountain near Xicheng.
He Tiantian ordered people to dig secretly and obtained enough raw materials.
Gunpowder, an essential artifact for time travel, was successfully created by He Tiantian.
There was originally an iron shop in the attached city, and the Yu family hid an iron mine in the northwest.
It’s not that the Yu family wanted to make weapons privately, it was because the weapons distributed by the imperial court were too poor and too few.
If you buy ironware on a large scale, you will be questioned and impeached.
General Yu then tried to find a way to mine and forge it himself.
However, the Yu family's iron mine is very secretive. Even the Yu family, except for the head of the family and the young head of the family, very few people know about it.
Yu Er already regarded "Yu Li" as his heir, so he naturally did not hide it from her.
With enough pig iron and gunpowder, He Tiantian's mines, iron artillery and a series of large-scale weapons were built.
Hot weapons VS cold weapons, even the most powerful Bei Rong cavalry can only bow to them.
Sure enough, when the third prince of Beirong gave the order to attack, the ground trembled slightly as the three thousand cavalry stepped on it, and a massive attack began.
However, before the cavalry at the forefront could quickly cross the sea buckthorn layer, there was a sudden bang, bang explosion.
Some of the horses happened to step on the mechanism, and both the man and the horse were blown to pieces.
Some horses were lucky enough not to be stepped on, but they were frightened by the violent sound and stood upright with squawks.
Then, he ran around like crazy.
The horse was frightened and immediately overwhelmed the entire camp.
"Oh my God! The gods are thundering!"
"It's so scary. What kind of monster is this?"
"People from Daliang have done evil tricks, run away quickly!"
The cavalry was in confusion, and the infantry turned pale with fright, and the two groups fought.
This is beyond their knowledge.
The scenes of blood and flesh flying in front of them made them feel like they were having a nightmare.
There was also that loud sound that made my ears buzz.
For a moment, they all thought their souls had been pulled out of their bodies, as if they were dead.
The Bei Rong soldiers were in chaos, shouting, howling, crying, and running around like headless flies.
"Don't run! Stop!"
The third prince was also shocked.
But after all, he is the commander who leads the troops in the war, and his psychological quality is very strong.
Trying to calm down his racing heart, he drew out his machete and shouted loudly, "It must be the people from Daliang who are responsible for this trick. Let's rush in and kill all the people from Daliang!"
"Kill! Kill for me!"
The third prince has a high status and only has power in the army.
His shout somewhat awakened some of the troops.
Especially the leaders, they all suppressed the fear in their hearts and shouted in agreement: "Kill! Kill!"
The shattered military morale was at least somewhat restored.
The remaining soldiers and horses continued to charge and kill.
The Beirong soldiers passed through the first direction, crossed the Juma Zhuang, and stepped onto the seabuckthorn field.
He Tiantian feels a little distressed, alas, these are all the things she ordered people to plant so hard.
As soon as it started to work, the result was——
However, He Tiantian still raised her hand and shouted coldly: "Let go!"
With an order, a row of soldiers on the city wall, in groups of four, pushed out the trebuchets one after another.
Place the can-shaped cannonball on the trebuchet, light the fuse, and start the machine expansion.
Bang, bang, bang several sounds.
The burning iron shells flew directly in the direction of the Beirong soldiers.
boom!
boom!
boom!
There were several loud noises in succession, like thunder from the sky, shaking the ground.
Even Yu Che, who was standing on the city wall, felt a slight shaking.
His eyes widened and his heart was beating hard.
With his mouth dry, Yu Che looked at it for a long time before asking indifferently, "This, is this the big killer you are talking about?"
It is indeed the "wrath of the gods".
The Thunder God and the Lightning Girl are nothing more than that.
"Yes! Second brother, what do you think of this powerful weapon? Can you help us defend the attached city?"
He Tiandian nodded and said with a smile.
"able!"
Yu Che said the word firmly.
This is not nonsense, but a living example right in front of him——
The eight thousand soldiers from the Northern Army were either blown to pieces with their flesh and blood flying everywhere, or were frightened and fled in all directions.
There were more injured people lying on the ground, holding their stumps and broken arms and crying non-stop.
It's like a living hell.
Yu Che had been on the battlefield and knew what it was like when two armies clashed.
However, this is the first time I have seen such a terrifying scene.
Of course, the Beirong soldiers do not deserve sympathy.
Not to mention how many clansmen the Yu family has filled in the northwest, but just to mention the number of people who are harmed by the Northern Rong every year.
Those common people are just farming honestly, they just want to have a peaceful life and live a stable life, it's not too much.
Why should we be bullied like animals? Slaved? Killed?!
Only those who have never been on the battlefield, whose families have not been killed by the Beirong, and who have not been massacred themselves, can say nonsense like "a country of etiquette must be tolerant and generous."
To deal with the invading enemy, we must directly and fiercely fight back!
For example, at this moment, the remaining Bei Rong soldiers were fleeing in all directions, and the wounded lying on the ground had no ability to resist.
The Yu family troops who rushed out from the Beida camp were still holding horizontal knives, axes, etc., harvesting their spoils one by one.
There is no humanitarianism, only life and death and revenge!
He Tiantian watched with cold eyes as the snow in the sky became heavier and heavier, slowly covering the blood-stained land with snow-white.
After this battle, He Tiantian not only saved the attached city, but also took advantage of the opportunity to occupy the grassland on the north side.
The Wubao was built and the grassland was demarcated. From then on, the Yu family army had a good place to raise horses, cattle and sheep.
The Yu family army's troops also quickly expanded from 5,000 to 20,000.
He Tiantian continues to promote planting, and she also encourages experienced farmers to try methods such as seedling breeding, interplanting, and soil fertilizers.
Increase food production step by step.
There are also potatoes, sweet potatoes and other grains that are high-yield, drought-tolerant, and easy to store.
The attached city is completely self-sufficient and can support tens of thousands of people.
Therefore, when Shi He, Yu Ye, Feng Lang and others deliberately cut off the trade routes leading to Xicheng and Border Town, the Affiliated City not only was not hindered, but continued to develop.
Five years have passed quickly, and He Tiantian has grown into a handsome young man.
Yu Che grew up to be a very mature and seasoned local official, and he could shoulder the heavy responsibility of staying in the attached city alone.
Yu Heng is the vanguard camp, either going around to suppress bandits or looking for the whereabouts of the Beirong tribe.
Yu Xing opened up the northwest trade route, and his business with the countries in the Western Regions flourished.
He Tiantian, on the other hand, takes charge of the overall situation, training troops, farming, gunpowder...these most core things are all in her hands.
The new generation of the Yu family has grown up successfully.
Their target is also the West City next door——
Wuzhen is located in Xicheng, and Wuzhen is the base of the Yu family.
In the past, I had no strength and no great ambition.
The gunpowder and high-yielding grains that He Tiantian brought out gave Yu Er and Yu Si "hope".
Isn't the person sitting in the imperial palace in the capital always wary of the Yu family's rebellion?
The Yu family simply tried hard.
It is not necessary to rebel, but the Yu family must have sufficient territory and strong military strength.
In this way, we will no longer be dealt with easily...
Hehe, I recently watched a magical drama, and I suddenly discovered that Batie’s earth-flavored drama is as popular as a Thai drama. (#^.^#)
