Li Qing put his hand in the woman's warm embrace and never took it out.
In fact, he didn't need to take it out. Ever since the army made a big turn at Minghui Mountain, he felt so comfortable physically and mentally that he didn't want to do anything.
After all, the Prime Minister was not confused. He was still the wise commander who saw thousands of miles away. Ever since he knew the true purpose of the army, Li Qing had always wanted to cheer. Therefore, when he held his hands tightly on the woman's chest, which was not high,
At that time, the woman just smiled at him, and she could feel the joy in Li Qing's heart.
"Yun Zheng must have known the Prime Minister's intentions at this time. I have no doubt about this. I just want to know how he can stop the Prime Minister from robbing people now that he is three thousand miles away?
Everyone knows the truth about being beyond the reach of a whip, but the feeling of having it fall on your own head is really hard to describe.
When we were on the rocky slope, I led a desperate attack on Yunzheng's flank with my wounded soldiers, trying to find a way for the army to survive. But when I exhausted all my strength and fell into a pile of corpses, my heart was full of regrets and I hated myself.
There is no more power to help my army.
The regret in my heart at that time could not be washed away even by water from three rivers.
Now, after Yunzheng's thousands of miles of battle, he discovered that he had acquired the land of the Liao Kingdom, but we have taken over the people of the Liao Kingdom. It is still very difficult to say who will win and who will lose.
I really want to see Yun Zheng’s face, I just want to see how disappointed Yun Zheng’s beautiful face will be.”
The woman didn't know Yun Zheng at first, and even heard the name from Li Qing. In Li Qing's description, this man was the most terrifying demon in the world.
Now the devil suffered a big loss, and the woman smiled very happily.
Li Qing was sitting on a tall camel. Surrounded by him were the strongest men in Xixia. To serve in the Poxi Army, one would not have much strength.
The strong bows and crossbows here, as well as the crossbows and the Eight Ox Crossbows all require a lot of strength to use, especially the Eight Ox Crossbows and Cyclone Cannons. People with less strength and insufficient weight are likely to be beaten by those beef tendons.
Things like that were bounced away.
It's a pity that they didn't get the Song people's most advanced eight-oxen crossbows and ballistae, which were weapons with magical labor-saving mechanisms. The Song people never equipped ordinary border troops. If they could get those things, Li Qing would be sure to bring them with him.
The craftsmen further reduced the size of the Eight Bull Crossbow and the Tornado Cannon by a few points without losing their power.
If the Eight-Niu Crossbow only requires three people to operate like the one in the Yunzheng Army, my Eight Thousand Poxi Army can completely control more Eight-Niu Crossbows and Cyclone Cannons.
When he thought of the Eight Oxen Crossbow, which required eight people to operate, Li Qingwei sighed deeply. He had reduced the number of people to operate the Eight Oxen Crossbow from sixteen to eight. The Prime Minister was so happy that he almost forgot about it, but he couldn't think of Song.
people……
I don’t know how many Liao troops fell to the stone bullets fired by the Poxi army along the way. When the sky was densely covered with stones, Li Qing could not forget the roar of the Xixia army. This was the sound of cheers.
It is also an expression of pride.
When fighting the Liao army, Li Qing did not take his hand out of the woman's warm arms. When he thought of the Song people, Li Qing took out his hand and took out a gunpowder bomb from his arms and looked at it carefully again.
His long, white hands deftly twisted the cap on the gunpowder cartridge, then smoothly pulled out the gunpowder, and finally poured out half a bowl of black gunpowder.
He did all this very skillfully. He had repeated this action countless times. He could even know how many larger particles and amounts of powder there were in the pile of gunpowder. The only thing he didn't understand was why Yun Zheng was so certain. To make gunpowder into granular form, what method did he use to make it into granular form?
Li Qing tried many things, including various glues, various mucus, and even human oil, but the results were all very poor.
Whenever he couldn't understand these things, Li Qing wanted to go to Tokyo of the Song Dynasty to find out. These secrets were kept in the prison of the Song Dynasty and could not be known by outsiders.
Zeng Gongliang's "The General Essentials of the Military Classics" was almost destroyed by him, but he had no clue. He eagerly hoped that Zeng Gongliang could complete the "General Essentials of the Military Classics". Unexpectedly, after so many years, Zeng Gongliang would It seems that there is no interest in writing a book. Now the general of the Song Dynasty is the most mysterious department. Some gunpowder formulas have been circulated. Soon these gunpowder formulas were proved to be the same as those of the generals of the Song Dynasty. It's two different things.
However, it is not only Zeng Gongliang who can be expected. There is also a person in the Song Dynasty who is compiling a strange book called "Shen Kuo's Bi Tan".
According to the official of the Song Dynasty named Shen Kuo, this book will be a collection of legends and stories since the beginning of the world, dialectics, music rhythm, elephants, personnel, official affairs, wit, art, calligraphy and painting, skills, utensils, magic, and strange things. , fallacies, ridicule, magazines, and medical discussions are integrated into one.
Once completed, all the wonderful and ingenious obscene techniques of ancient and modern times will be as convenient as looking at grain patterns on the palm of your hand.
Xixia sent to Tokyo is fully supporting Shen Kuo in compiling and usurping this book. He is now promoting Si Tianjian. Such a high-ranking official should have a way to peek into the secrets of the prison. This is also the last reason why Xixia stayed in Tokyo and spent money like water. important reason.
Without a real gunpowder formula, it is impossible to create truly usable gunpowder bombs. The cyclone cannon now has to use stone bullets, which is much less powerful than the cyclone cannon used by the Song Army that used gunpowder bombs.
Sitting on the bumpy camel's back, Li Qing poured the gunpowder back into the iron case without fail. After inserting the powder rope, he carefully filled the gap with cotton. Regarding gunpowder, it needs a sealed space to be more effective. Li Qing already knew this.
A loud cry came from the front, which immediately attracted Li Qing's attention. He stuffed the shiny gunpowder bomb that he had been rubbing into his arms, stretched his neck and looked forward.
I saw a large group of people coming in front of me. After a closer look, I found that they were all slaves of the Liao Kingdom. These people had their hands tightly tied with a leather rope and were strung together. Under the whipping of the whip, he slowly came towards his direction.
Li Qing laughed happily. It seemed that the capture army in front was finally having some effect. There were at least 5,000 Liao people. Such a large number of slaves could be found in the remote areas of Zhongjing. If we move forward, After walking five hundred miles, we arrived at the prosperous place of Liao Kingdom. God knows how many slaves there were to capture.
As long as these people are raised and driven for a few years, they will become loyal people of Xixia. Li Qing is very confident about this. Once these people go to the far western regions, if they cannot become obedient people of Xixia, they will not be able to do so there. Live.
"We have lost our strength. Are there many Liao people near the Luanhe River? Can we catch them?"
Many soldiers in the Poxi Army were drawn from the Capture Army. The Poxi Army soldier who knew the guards asked loudly.
"Achi, you are still alive. Haha, spring is here. People from Liao came to graze on both sides of the Luanhe River. Not only did we catch slaves, we also caught countless cattle and sheep. You can eat the cattle and sheep we caught tonight.
, the Prime Minister is on the bank of the Luan River preparing to reward all the brothers."
"You have captured so many slaves. You will be rich this time!"
"How can we make a fortune? We have just captured a few. We are going to send these slaves to Heishan Pass and then come back. There are many Liao people across the Luanhe River. You hurry up and catch more, and you will bear their filial piety for the rest of your life.
You can live happily for the rest of your life."
Li Qing just smiled when he heard the soldiers' conversation. Of course he knew why so many Liao people were captured in the remote areas of Zhongjing.
All this is thanks to Yun Zheng. If it weren't for his army's overwhelming attack in Xijing, the Emperor of Liao would not have moved the people of Xijing to Zhongjing. It was not only people who moved to Zhongjing, but also an incredible number of livestock. The country
It seems that these cattle, sheep and slaves are the ones who came here this time.
As for the land, Xixia people don't care. As long as there are people, they will have soldiers. After having soldiers, how much land can't be snatched back? Even if they can't snatch the Song people's land, Daxia can still march westward. There is nothing like the Song Dynasty there.
Strong enemies and countries.
It was obvious that the morale of the Poxi Army had been boosted by the soldiers. Li Qing clearly felt that his team was moving faster. The camels that were originally slow now took a long step with each step, and their bodies became bumpy.
Already.
The newly thawed Luan River water appeared in front of Li Qing like a jade belt. The green grass on the sunny slope by the river sprouted earlier than the grass elsewhere. Looking from a distance, it was already green there. In ten days, the riverside
There will be countless Gesang flowers blooming on the grass.
When he was in Qingtang, Li Qing saw more Gesang flowers. The Gesang flowers there would form a sea of flowers instead of just dots here.
The Gesang flowers in Qingtang will surely grow more lush in recent years, right? During the Battle of Qingtang, many good Xixia men spilled their blood in Qingtang, fertilizing the land there.
People and horses were cheering along the Luanhe River, and continuous camps were spread out for more than ten miles along the river. The riverside was filled with marching cookers and stoves, and the numerous slaughtering racks were filled with freshly slaughtered cattle and sheep.
The joyful Xixia soldiers laughed endlessly around the steaming cauldron, waiting for the Huotou Army to give the order to start the meal.
For a whole winter, the army traveled nearly three thousand miles from Xixia before they successfully deceived Yunzheng and the Liao Kingdom, and finally arrived here.
After this sumptuous meal, the mighty Xixia army will start hunting on this unfamiliar grassland. This time, the prey will not only fill the stomachs of the Xixia people, but also strengthen the body of the Xixia country.
Fu Zang was half-lying on a huge piece of thick wool felt, with his head resting on the thigh of a beautiful woman. He held a wine glass in his hand and half-squinted his eyes to enjoy the singing and dancing performed by four women in colorful clothes.
Seeing Li Qing's camel team coming from a distance, he ordered a guard to call Li Qing over. Thinking of the words Li Qing asked him when he set out, he wanted to laugh for no reason. (To be continued)
