Regardless of whether Du Jin agreed or not, the gun was still offered. Xu Zizhen had already figured it out clearly when he was in Lanzhou that there was no other way to get close to Fong Size except this move.
Du Jin's expression was ugly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "If this is true, even though we can get close to Yuan Size, we will still be under heavy guard. How can you act and escape?"
Xu Zizhen smiled: "The mountain man has his own clever plan."
…
Xingzi Fort is built on the mountain. The Xixia military camp is at the foot of the deepest mountain in the fort. Yuan Size is sitting in the camp with his face as deep as water. The generals below him are all as silent as a cicada. There are not even one hundred thousand soldiers in the army.
The little Jincheng Pass could not be broken, and was even killed and defeated. Fortunately, Yu Size withdrew his troops in time, so he did not cause greater losses, but even so, only 70,000 of the 100,000-strong army remained.
Today is the seventh day of the Xia army's retreat. For a whole week, the Xixia army has been in vain. The Song army did not come to pursue it at all, and did not even send a single scout. This surprised Yuan Size somewhat.
I don't know how long this dull atmosphere lasted. Finally, Yuan Size was the first to speak: "Do you think the Song Army will come?"
The coach spoke, and the people below him finally breathed a sigh of relief, but no one dared to answer this question easily.
The battle at Jinchengguan was so cowardly that the Song army was like a chicken. One of them could defeat four or five Xixia armies. The formation of the troops in the Zhong division was very clever, and it was a mess here.
The generals knew very well that the fighting spirit of the entire army was at a low ebb. If the Song army pursued them at this time, they would probably be easily beaten and forced to escape again.
As for fighting back to capture Jincheng Pass? Come on, just go to sleep.
Yuan Size spoke again. He looked around and said slowly: "I have asked Sanjuetang to send people over quickly to make hundreds of extreme artillery pieces for me. Even the black fire bombs will be there."
It arrived recently.”
The generals were stunned for a moment, and then they were overjoyed. The extremely powerful artillery was a good thing, with great power and a long range. If there were hundreds of them, they could level the Jincheng Pass. Then wouldn't Lanzhou be easily captured?
Yuan Size guessed what they were thinking, and he snorted heavily and said, "Don't be too happy too early. Although Master Zhong is a Confucian scholar, he is like a god in his military skills. You have already tasted his methods."
At this point, he paused and then said, "The extreme artillery is not the key, but the black oil is urgently needed, and it was transported thousands of miles away, so there is no room for any mistakes."
Someone below couldn't help but interjected: "Commander, you have already purchased the black fire oil? If you are already in the summer realm, why do you need to worry?"
Huan Size glanced at him: "What do you know? Black Fire is hard to come by. It's a long way from Tubo to here, and we have to take the Hexi Road. Horse thieves are rampant there, and if you don't make a mistake, they will all be destroyed." When he said this, both of them were destroyed.
He picked up a piece of paper on the table with one finger and said, "The right envoy of Sanjue Hall sent me a message. Black Fire is already on its way and will be transported to Jisang City in seven days. Who are you waiting for to meet me?"
Jisang City is located in the southwest of the Tengger Desert. If the horse is very fast, it can definitely be reached in seven days. This is a escort job, and there will be no problems at all. The generals immediately stood up and enthusiastically signed up to deliver the goods.
It's simple, it's better than worrying about it here, right?
Yuan Size sighed secretly, how could he not know what these idiots had in mind, but there was nothing he could do about it, so he had to choose one at random, pointed out the direction, waved his hand and told him to lead his troops and get out.
.
The extreme artillery was functional again, the black fire was also found, and the confidence of the generals suddenly seemed to have returned. They were all whispering to each other. Yuan Size became more and more annoyed as he looked at it. He stood up with a groan and was about to leave.
At this moment, the guard outside the door suddenly came to report: "Commander, Du Jin from the Gongshu Hall has something important to see."
Yuan Size was stunned. He knew that Du Jin was a well-known figure in Gongshu Hall. It was just rumored that he was killed by Tianxiahui in the valley of Gaolan Mountain a few days ago. Why did he appear again now?
He thought for a while and sat down again: "Pass!"
Du Jin immediately stepped through the door, holding a red cloth bag in his hand. He seemed cautious. He did not salute after entering the door. He just nodded and said: "Commander, Du has something urgent to discuss."
Yuan Size nodded: "Tell me."
Du Jin lowered his eyelids and said calmly: "The law is not taught to the six ears."
Yuan Size frowned. Seeing Du Jin like this, he would never say anything to others. Although he said that as the commander of an army, he should not be alone with others, but Du Jin was just a member of the Gongshu Hall.
To be honest, he was just a craftsman, so after thinking about it, he waved his hand and dismissed the generals.
Du Jin and other generals all retreated, and then he raised his head and smiled slightly at Yuan Size: "Commander, Du has something to offer." After speaking, he walked a few steps and put the red cloth bag in his hand on Yuan Size.
In front of Ze.
Yuan Size untied the cloth bag in confusion. When all the red cloth was opened, he saw a blazing gun lying there quietly.
"This...!" Yuan Size was shocked. He looked straight at the musket. Outside Jincheng Pass, he had witnessed the power of the musket with his own eyes, and he still secretly regretted not grabbing one during the melee.
, although this one is smaller than that musket, it is obviously the same type of weapon. Although Xixia's weapons are the best in the world, in the end they are still cold weapons. Now that something advanced suddenly appears in front of him, how can he let him?
Not surprised?
Du Jin smiled and said: "Commander, what do you think?"
Yuan Size took a long breath and looked up at Du Jin: "Where did you get this?"
Du Jin said: "Du bought this from a Hu man in Xiliang market. It is said that this thing is rare even among Hu people. I wonder if the commander is interested in this thing?"
Interested? Yuan Size is so interested. Even though this small musket is less powerful than the one from the Shenji Camp, it is really even more powerful when paired with Xixia's original Divine Arm Bow Cyclone Cannon. Besides, it has the ultimate
With the cooperation of artillery, not only the small city of Lanzhou, but also the army of the Song Dynasty will not be a problem.
Yuan Size stood up, looked at Du Jin solemnly, and said, "Mr. Du, if I ask you to imitate this thing, would you be able to do it?"
Du Jin smiled: "It's easy."
"Okay!" Yuan Size clapped his hands, "I will send someone to help you, and we will do it immediately!"
Du Jin smiled slightly: "Commander, wait a moment, Du has something to discuss."
Yuan Size was stunned: "Mr. Du, please tell me."
Du Jin shook his head and said: "Du doesn't need anyone's help. In addition, I also ask the commander not to let anyone else know about this...including the people in my hall."
After all, Yuan Size was a person. He was startled and quickly understood what he meant: "Mr. Du, are you worried that people in your court will take a piece of your pie?"
Du Jin was noncommittal and said slowly: "Du has recruited a group of Tibetan casual workers from outside. If the commander can give me fifteen days, I can make it..." At this point, he raised a finger.
"A hundred muskets!"
Yuan Size did not hesitate and nodded heavily: "Okay, I promise you!"
