Su Ren stood in front of the door and stretched out. There had been a lot of noise outside last night, with shouts of murder, and the screams were so miserable that it made people feel chilling. However, Su Ren slept very comfortably. While Su Ren was washing his face and brushing his teeth,
At that time, Han Qing came in and reported some battle conditions. Although the Huns charged fiercely and seemed very powerful, they did not send any strong troops. They only sent slaves in waves to test and consume them. It is said that the corpses under the city have been piled up.
Freedom is one foot high. If the Huns continue to do this today, they will be able to climb up the city wall without any ladders at night.
"Where did the Huns get so many slaves?" Su Ren asked while gargling.
Han Qing sighed: "The Huns want to come and plunder. Whether it is themselves, us Han people, the nearby Wuhuan, Xianbei, or the farther Goguryeo, they are all the targets of the Huns' plunder. Let's put it this way, the Huns have
There are almost as many slaves as there are livestock.”
"Hey! What a sin!" Su Ren also sighed: "Are you still beating? I really want to hear it stop?"
"It did stop. It stopped at dawn. I guess their slaves are almost exhausted."
"Then based on your opinion as a member of a family with a long history of military art, what will the Huns do today?"
Han Qing thought for a while: "Such a huge consumption, no matter how many slaves the Huns have, they can't bear it. They should calm down a little today. If they haven't retreated yet, it means that within three days at the latest, the real
The Huns army will come over."
"Then we need to clean up the corpses as soon as possible. It's already spring. If the corpses are left in the wilderness for too long, it will easily trigger the plague. This is very important." Su Ren thought for a moment: "Let Lei be sent to deliver kerosene to the city.
Once those corpses are burned, there must be no plague, our 80,000-strong army is all here."
"No, I'll do it right away!" Han Qinggang turned around and seemed to remember something, and quickly turned around: "By the way, the Huns' military camp king has pitched his tent in Mayi. Now it can be said that the Huns have captured Mayi.
, the scout reported that the king of Juntun also followed your husband's approach to recruit merchants, and also issued a notice saying that as long as merchants go to Mayi, he will guarantee their safety in the name of Changshengtian, even if they are Han Chinese."
"Haha, this guy is really interesting. Isn't he afraid of details?"
Han Qing smiled and said, "The Huns don't have such a theory. Do you want me to send someone in?"
Su Ren waved his hand: "No need, they are already under our noses. It doesn't matter whether they are dispatched or not, as long as they are closely monitored."
Su Ren's breakfast is very simple. Rice porridge, steamed buns, and pickles are most suitable for his appetite. These things are made by people he specially brought from Chang'an. Now that he is a general of the East Route Army, his identity and status are different.
Besides, talking about sharing the joys and sorrows with the soldiers is a bit pretentious. While they were eating, Mo Yu came again with the Hun child he picked up from the battlefield.
This Hun child is very strange. After he was brought back, he first spent half a month recovering from his injuries at the doctor's place. When he was able to go to the field, he followed Mo Yu all the time. He was also very obedient and never cried or made trouble. He was completely like Shiliu.
The seven-year-old child is different. Not to mention, this boy is really good-looking, with fine features and handsome features. If it weren't for the frizzy hair on his head, no one would think he is a foreigner.
Su Ren knew that the child was called Tuntou, but Mo Yu stubbornly named the child Mo Yun. This showed that Mo Yu was preparing to accept a disciple. Su Ren did not feel anything wrong with this, but hoped that
If Tuentou can agree, it means that the Mohists no longer have a foothold in the Han Dynasty, and it will not hurt them to venture into other remote places.
She grabbed a bun and handed it to Mo Yun. Mo Yun turned around and looked at Mo Yu. Mo Yu nodded, and then Mo Yun took it and gave Su Ren a gift, then shrank behind Mo Yu and ate it slowly.
Su Ren pointed to the seat opposite him and asked Mo Yu: "Do you want some too? Do you want me to invite you too?"
Mo Yu smiled slightly and waved his hand: "I came here today to tell you something. Mo Yun's mother and several younger brothers and sisters are still on the grassland. I am going to take people to bring them back. I need to get some military equipment from you."
"Okay? How much do you want?" Su Ren replied while eating, making a slurping sound. Just by hearing the sound, he felt that the food was very delicious.
"It doesn't take much, and it won't take long to get here."
"Okay, if you need anything, go directly to Li Cheng and tell him that I agree!" Suddenly, Su Ren stopped eating: "But you can't bring thunder and fire bombs! You know the rules."
Mo Yu nodded: "Understood!" Mo Yun stood up and saluted Su Ren before following Mo Yu out the door.
Huang Shisan kept watching Mo Yu lead Mo Yun away, and waited for Su Ren to finish eating. While clearing the dishes, he said: "This kid is a Huns after all. Why is Mr. Mo so nice to him? Could it be that Mo Mo
What does the young master have..."
Su Ren was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly: "I don't know about that. I'll ask for you next time I see Mo Yu, hahaha... When will you be able to tell jokes, hahaha..."
Happy times always passed quickly. When a fire broke out outside the city, there was no way to treat people inside Yanmen Pass. Su Ren still underestimated the number of corpses. The thick burnt smell and billowing smoke almost covered the whole place.
Yanmen Pass was covered. Whether it was the soldiers at the top of the city or the horses in the pen, they were all sneezing, hoping to stay away from the thick smoke and flames.
Su Ren covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water and climbed up the city wall. The red-hot city wall was so hot that no one could get close to it. The smell here was the strongest, and it was very strong after just one breath.
Feeling like vomiting. Before he could climb up to the top of the city, Su Ren had already turned around and walked down: "Go and ask Li Cheng to prepare some quicklime, and spread it immediately after the fire is extinguished. The thicker, the better, so that you can effectively prepare the fire."
The plague will spread even in the pass."
Just after noon, drizzle fell from the sky. This was the first rain in spring, marking the official arrival of the season of recovery for all things. Unfortunately, the burning corpses under the city outside Yanmen Pass were not seen. It was fire again, and it was
The rain was different from what Han Qing had expected. It lasted for five days, but the Huns did not move at all, which made Han Qing uneasy.
"Sir, why don't you send some people to Mayi? I'm worried that the Huns have some conspiracy."
"What do you say in Dry Land?"
"There is no news. The fire and rain have isolated the message delivery. It will not be received until tomorrow at the earliest."
"Then just wait, Tiangang and Disha won't be able to send the news back, and the Huns' attack will not come back for a while."
After waiting for another three days, we finally received the much-needed news. And very important news. According to the intelligence, the reason why the Huns did not rush to attack was because the king of Juntun was carrying out a secret plan, and it was related to thunder and fire bombs.
.This news is very timely, and it illustrates at least two problems. First, the Huns are brewing a storm; second, the thunder and fire bomb has been cracked by the Huns, or there is a traitor within the Han army.
The moment he saw the news, Su Ren was startled and quickly asked Shi Manzhu. Shi Manzhu assured with certainty that he alone knew the formula of the Thunder Fire Bomb, and even the person in charge of production would only be responsible for one of them.
Ring, naturally will not be leaked. In addition, the thunder and fire bombs are transported from Chang'an, and there are special military escorts during the period. The quantity and time can match each other, and the possibility of being stolen is not high. If there is a problem, it is
There is a problem in Chang'an.
Su Ren frowned and thought for a long time, then asked Han Qing: "Is there any news about Luan Da?"
Han Qingdao: "It has been confirmed that there may be two Luan Da."
"Two Luan Da? Twin brothers?"
Han Qing nodded: "According to the information provided by the warlock we secretly captured, Shao Weng picked up two children. Later, it was said that one of them died, leaving only Luan Da. Moreover, Shao Weng liked Luan Da very much, so he accepted them."
As a disciple, no one has seen another child since then, and they all thought he was really dead."
"Does Your Majesty know?"
"I know, I have already sent someone to deliver a message to His Majesty."
Su Ren smiled helplessly: "These warlocks are really lingering. Contact Tiangang Disha immediately. We must find Luan Da hiding here and cut him off. This kid is a very serious threat and cannot be left here."
Thunder fire bombs, called thunder bombs by the Huns, are made by filling an iron ball made of pig iron with gunpowder and using fire to ignite the explosion. Although Su Ren's gunpowder formula has been greatly improved through Shi Manzhu's efforts,
Due to the influence of cast iron technology, the thunder and fire bombs produced have a loud sound but very little power. Sometimes when a thunder and fire bomb is thrown over, the pig iron ball explodes in half, and the lethality is not as powerful as a bow and arrow.
The reason why the Xiongnu left camp suffered such heavy losses was that one reason was that a lot of thunder and fire bombs were used, and the other was that livestock and horses were frightened and rushed into the camp. Less than half of the casualties actually died from the thunder and fire bombs. However, since Luan Da
After providing the Thunder Fire Bomb formula to the King of Juntun, the King of Juntun felt like he had found a treasure. After two or three experiments, he immediately decided to look into production, which is why he waited so long and did not rush to take action with the Han people.
Luan Da was summoned again, and the king of the military camp asked: "How many thunderbolts do we have now?"
"About two hundred, which is not enough to apply for a job with the Han people. As far as I know, Su Ren has thousands of these in his hands."
The king of Juntun was a little frustrated: "How long will we have to wait? Is it possible that we have no way to defeat the Han people? I order you to produce another 300 pills in three days, otherwise..."
Luan Da was shocked. He heard a strong hint of impatience in the tone of the Juntun King, and he quickly agreed.
Three days is not a long time, but it arrived soon. Luan Da actually took out five hundred thunderbolts. The king of the military camp was overjoyed. He looked at the large black iron ball in front of him and grinned happily.
: "With this thing, we don't have to be afraid of anything. We will attack Yanmen early tomorrow morning. I have ordered that Yanmen be captured and indulged in three days of indulgence!" (To be continued)
