Muchuan took a deep breath and sneered: "Hmph, they dare to destroy our military supplies depot, they are just looking for death! Come here, please send the order, immediately rectify the troops and horses, and follow me to the Goguryeo Boundary River!"
"yes!"
The military attaché beside him quickly replied.
The number of troops Muchuan brought this time was not large.
But this was a war, not a competition, so he took five thousand elite cavalry to Goguryeo.
Muchuan is a civil servant, but because of the blessing of the system, his martial arts is very powerful.
This time the soldiers he brought were all elites drawn from the Northeast Army.
Along the way, they encountered several groups of Goguryeo soldiers and horses who intercepted them, but Muchuan killed them one by one.
Half a day later, they arrived at the border between Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo.
Stationed outside a small city that was originally the Tang Dynasty.
[Ding! System mission: Recapture the border town of Datang and drive the Goguryeo invading army back to the south of the boundary river!]
Hearing the system prompt, Muchuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and a lot of information flashed in the sea.
Cement formula?
This is good stuff.
In this era, cement formula is a scarce commodity!
If the cement formula can be obtained, Datang's future development will be much faster.
Cement can be made into high-end building materials that can repair or improve buildings, adding defensive and functional properties.
After use, it can reduce the probability of house collapse.
After reading the information, Muchuan couldn't help showing a happy expression.
Unexpectedly, Goguryeo’s invasion actually contributed a cement formula to itself!
but……
Although the cement formula is good, I am not short of money at this stage!
You probably gave yourself this kind of material just so you could build infrastructure in Datang!
Thinking of infrastructure, Muchuan's mind suddenly came to a material he had learned about before - asphalt.
He once made a special inquiry and found that in ancient times, the production of asphalt was extremely low and only a few nobles could use it.
Asphalt is mainly produced in desert areas in the north.
Goguryeo, on the other hand, was surrounded by grasslands and deserts in the north.
Although they didn't know how to make oil, they did master something called black sandstone.
This kind of black sandstone is hard and corrosion-resistant, and it can also dissolve in water to form a viscous substance.
This kind of sticky black sandstone is planted in many places in Goguryeo and is used for construction, farmland and other infrastructure.
However, during the construction process, the Goguryeo people broke up the black sand and scattered it around, turning the farmland into swamps or causing the crops to die.
Moreover, black sandstone can also destroy the nutritional content of food, and if used for a long time, it will cause great harm to people.
This is also the reason why Goguryeo has always been squeezed out by the Han people, because the soil of Goguryeo contains a lot of toxins.
They don’t know that this black sandstone is actually asphalt!
Muchuan thought that since there was going to be a big construction project, road construction would become a necessary project in the future.
And asphalt is also in urgent need.
It seemed that Goguryeo had to take it no matter what.
This battle must be won!
Muchuan walked into the camp.
There was a map placed in front of him.
"Mu Shangshu, what should we do now?"
the lieutenant asked.
"First send scouts to sneak into the hinterland of Goguryeo to find out the details of the Goguryeo people. In addition, prepare military rations as soon as possible!"
Muchuan said.
"The general will obey your orders!"
The deputy general said.
"Report!"
Just then, soldiers rushed in.
Muchuan frowned slightly and shouted, "What's the matter?"
"Reporting to the general, our people discovered enemy troops near the boundary river!"
the soldier shouted hastily.
"enemy?"
Muchuan's pupils suddenly shrank, and then he said in a deep voice, "How many enemy troops are coming?"
"About 20,000 people."
The soldier quickly said, "They seem to be looking for something, they are constantly harassing us, and they even attacked our village!"
"Twenty thousand people?"
Muchuan sneered, "Send the order, the sons of the Tang Dynasty and this general will go out to crush the Goguryeo invading army!"
"promise!"
At this time, a fast horse galloped over. The soldier on the horse turned over and jumped off the horse. He said respectfully: "General, we have seen enemy troops ahead and are fighting."
A cruel smile appeared at the corner of Muchuan's mouth.
"Tell those soldiers and let them remember that this is the best opportunity. If you miss it, you may not have it in the future!"
Muchuan said coldly, "Pass this general's order to annihilate all the enemy troops!"
At this moment, he was exuding a fierce killing intent.
"Here!"
The deputy general took the order, turned around and retreated.
A trace of cruelty flashed in Muchuan's eyes.
He is not a holy lady, nor a good old man.
His only purpose in living in this life is to protect his wife and children and his country!
The people of Goguryeo dared to invade the Tang Dynasty, so he would definitely not mind wiping them out completely!
The people of Goguryeo are unkind, so don’t blame them for being unjust!
War in this era does not rely on kindness. Sooner or later, kind people will be eaten!
"General, are we really going to war with the Goguryeo people?"
Someone next to me asked worriedly.
Muchuan glanced at everyone: "What do you think?"
Muchuan's eyes flashed with cold light.
These people were all trained by Muchuan, and they are all very loyal.
In Muchuan's view, these people are his strongest assistants.
But they are too timid and timid when encountering the slightest storm.
These people are not suitable for fighting at all.
These people are indeed not suitable for fighting, but they are good at governing civil affairs, which is very important.
But Muchuan still wants to train them!
"We must wipe out all the enemies!"
Muchuan said calmly.
"Here!"
The soldiers took the order and left.
"Commander, what do you mean..." Muchuan's deputy asked doubtfully.
"The Goguryeo people made the mistake first this time. We took the advantage and had artillery support. We must take advantage of this opportunity to destroy this group of Goguryeo invaders."
Muchuan said, "We will give Goguryeo a thorough blow this time so that they will never dare to offend our Tang Dynasty territory!"
"But our soldiers are not enough. If we attack by force..." the deputy said worriedly.
They only have 20,000 people. If they attack by force, they will probably suffer heavy losses.
"Don't you want to participate in the selection of the palace guard?
Then I will let you go and practice. You can lead three thousand people and follow me to meet the enemy."
Muchuan said.
"The general will obey your orders!"
The deputy said excitedly, then turned and left.
This time, he was finally able to go into battle and kill the enemy!
This deputy was selected by Muchuan from the army. He is not only brave and good at fighting, but also loyal and reliable.
Over the years, Muchuan has helped him upgrade, and he has been promoted to the rank of captain.
During this expedition, Muchuan planned to take him to practice.
He believed that the deputy general named Pei Xingjian would definitely be able to learn a lot during the battle.
