Hello Chang’an

 Chapter 614 Just send it here

Li Suining looked at A Dian, who was carrying a big bulging baggage on his back. He was obviously well prepared and had a guilty conscience and worry about lying written all over his face, so he deliberately didn't answer his words.

A Dian became even more anxious when he saw this, and said without warning: "Your Highness! I didn't mean to be disobedient!"

"But you are going to Beidi again!" He said, "I don't want to go back to Xuance Mansion and wait anymore!"

A long time ago, His Highness secretly went to Beidi without telling him. It was very far away and it took His Highness a long time to walk back. He didn't want to not see His Highness again for so long!

"Do you know where Beidi is?" Li Suining asked.

A Dian shook his head, then nodded, with the innocence and determination of a child: "I heard them say that it is very dangerous there, but wherever Your Highness goes, that is A Dian's home. A Dian is not going anywhere, he just wants to go home with His Highness. !”

This was the recognition that was firmly engraved in A Dian's mind when we met for the first time on the dirt roadside at the entrance of that small village.

"That's it." Li Suining looked forward and said loudly: "Okay, then when we go, I will turn that place into A Dian's home."

A Dian shouted with joy: "Liu Huo, His Highness has agreed to take us!"

Luohuo seemed to understand, and the horse's hooves galloped quickly. He quickly passed the return date and ran to the front of the team, just like a soldier leading the way, his majesty was still the same as before.

"drive!"

Li Suining gave a clear shout and chased after him with a smile, his hair tied with a copper hairpin fluttering in the night.

Cui Jing quickly caught up with her, and the two rode side by side and led the army away.

Along the way, Luo Huo always leads the way.

As a war horse that has experienced hundreds of battles, Luohuo had already lived in retirement before reuniting with his old owner at Furongyuan Racecourse. He had not traveled long distances for a long time, and Li Suining had never thought about letting him go to the battlefield again.

But when Jiangdu mobilized troops to Taiyuan, it became uncharacteristically restless and insisted on following the army north.

Chang Kuo knew about this, and knew that Lihuo was arrogant and more spiritual than ordinary horses. If he didn't let him follow him, he would probably become depressed and his life would probably be over.

Chang Kuo sighed and let it go.

What is surprising is that from Jiangdu to Taiyuan, this old horse ran ahead from beginning to end and never slowed down the journey.

At this time, it was like a loyal and proud veteran, leading the army all the way out of Guanshan.

After leaving Guanshan Mountain, the army passed through nearly a hundred miles of sandy land and stopped in front of a three-way road cut by rocks.

Kang Zhi pointed the knife at a Beidi prisoner who had his hands tied behind his back and was lying on the horse, asking him to show the way.

Kang Zhi speaks Beidi dialect. Her mother-in-law, Yueshi, is originally a Hu, and she is half of a Hu. The distance between Pinglu and the eastern territory of Beidi is only a few hundred miles. She has been able to speak some Beidi dialect since she was a child. It's just that she was often teased in the Kang family for being Hu Ji's daughter, so she rarely talked about her proactively.

Sheeps purse pointed the long knife in her hand at the three forked roads. When she pointed at the second one, the prisoner nodded and said in Chinese: "That's right!"

Kang Zhi's eyes were cold, and she turned the tip of the knife and pointed at another prisoner on horseback: "But he was referring to another one!"

The two prisoners had their backs to each other. Neither of them knew that there were other companions guiding the way. At this time, their expressions suddenly changed. One of them defended: "He is talking nonsense!"

Li Suining held the reins in one hand, raised the other hand, and lowered his fingertips.

The two prisoners who were quarreling with each other were quickly wiped on their necks, spitting blood, and thrown off their horses.

Soon, Cui Jing asked three more prisoners to be escorted forward.

"You three answer at the same time. If there is any discrepancy in your answers, you will all die!" Kang Zhi drew her sword and sneered: "But don't expect to die happily. I'll cut off all your hands and feet and leave them here to feed the wolves!" "

This time, the three prisoners rushed to answer, and their answers were exactly the same, but they were different from the two people who had just been killed. They were the third way.

Kang Zhi sheathed her sword, and before mounting her horse, she kicked one of the prisoners who was still alive.

In the night, nearly ten thousand cavalrymen poured into Beidi territory.

After passing through this desert barrier, a large area of ​​greenery soon appeared in front of us.

The place where Asteh Yuanli's army camped was a land with lush water and grass, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and intertwined with lakes and rivers.

Ten miles away from the military camp, they encountered a group of Beidi soldiers patrolling at night. Yuanxiang and his party, who were the first to explore the route, silenced them all.

The shallow stream was filled with sparkling dark light, and the shadow of the crescent moon fell quietly on the water.

By the stream, a group of Beidi soldiers who were patrolling the camp suddenly became alert. One of them clenched his sword tightly and turned to look across the stream. What responded to him was a sharp arrow piercing the night.

"-call out!"

The soldier let out a short scream and fell to the ground. Others were alerted and drew their swords, but the flying arrows were faster than the swords.

When they were hit by arrows one after another and fell down, the water plants on the opposite side of the stream were suddenly pushed apart. Horses of iron cavalry suddenly appeared from the night. The two leaders were riding horses with one hand and holding bows with the other, followed closely by the crossbowmen. .

The cavalry stepped into the stream that was up to their ankles, splashing crystal-clear water droplets under the pale moonlight. When the stream water splashed and fell again, it aroused murderous intent in the night.

The chilling air washed away with the water waves, swept across the surrounding vegetation, and finally roared towards the Beidi military camp, which was half hidden in the night.

Even though the patrolling and vigil soldiers who fell one after another only had time to send out short calls, they inevitably alarmed the army.

The Beidi people, who live in pursuit of water and grass and live on horseback, are the sharpest falcons in this land. They never lack vigilance.

But they never thought that they would be raided tonight.

Thinking of the 20,000 tribesmen led by Niennu who were completely wiped out by Sheng's army, their anger at this moment was overwhelming, and they vowed to make these increasingly arrogant Sheng's army never come back!

Soon, soldiers rushed out of the military camp, and their footsteps were accompanied by the sound of horns.

The dense arrows temporarily blocked their steps. At this time, the cavalry behind Li Suining quickly divided into two sides. Four chariots pulled by three horses were pushed to the front. Each chariot was equipped with equipment. Something similar to a trebuchet.

The soldiers distributed and fixed the chariots in an orderly manner, then filled the gunpowder, ignited it, and threw it -

At the same time, the hidden arrows used by the crossbowmen were replaced by more powerful rockets.

More and more Beidi troops began to dispatch, watching those things like fireballs coming towards them. Most of them had no idea what they were.

Until the "fireball" landed, an unexpected roar suddenly sounded!

The people of Beidi were immediately shocked. This new type of gunpowder was prepared by Shen Sanmao and other craftsmen, and the gunpowder was thrown by a modified trebuchet, which they called "engine flying fire".

In addition to the "engine flying fire", the craftsmen also discovered that after igniting this kind of gunpowder, if it explodes under sealed conditions, its power is dozens of times greater than that of fireworks bombing.

As a result, not only were fireballs thrown out, but also special earthen jars with extremely small mouths. Some jars contained kerosene, while others were filled with gunpowder and fuses.

Roars and explosions continued, the fire spread rapidly, and the pungent smoke filled the mouth and nose, making it difficult to open one's eyes.

While the Beidi people were injured and frightened and unable to move forward, the four tanks quickly approached the military camp. Soon, clouds of flying fire flew straight into the camp. With the roar, each tent was ignited and the fire started. Thick smoke rose.

Panic spread rapidly in the Beidi camp, and almost everyone was asking what the flying fire "falling from the sky" was.

Astori Yuanli, who stood up in a hurry, was also asking, but no one could give him an answer.

The Han people have made gunpowder and used it on the battlefield. It has only been more than ten years ago. Although they, the Beidi people, do not have gunpowder yet, Asteh Yuanli knows that the biggest role of gunpowder is to support combustion. The Sheng army often uses rockets and weapons when guarding the pass. The fire oil lit up the fire wall to block their attack. Astez Yuanli had seen it before and didn't think it was something worth being afraid of, but... what was this roaring flying fire at this time? !

Through the smell of burning in the air, Ashide Yuanli quickly analyzed that this thing was probably made of gunpowder!

A strange weapon that suddenly appears brings fear to people far greater than its own lethality—

There were also many Beidi women accompanying them in the military camp. On weekdays, they were responsible for feeding horses, cooking, sewing, and taking care of trivial matters, but had never been near the front line. At this time, they were suddenly attacked at night and saw this strange thing. They were all frightened to the point of fleeing. , they, who have always had faith, shouted that this was a punishment from God!

Some women cried and begged God to forgive them for their killings and mistakes.

Astrid Yuanli tried to tell everyone that this object was "only" made of gunpowder, and was not a divine object, let alone a punishment from the gods. However, the situation fell into unprecedented chaos, with shouts and shouts everywhere, and there was no way to do it. control.

The advantage of a night attack is not only the offensive and defensive opportunities brought by taking advantage of people's unpreparedness, but also the fact that when people are suddenly awakened from sleep, they often become confused, causing chaos and psychological fear.

And the roaring flying fire that fell to the ground amplified the fear of the Beidi people to the greatest extent at this moment.

Cui Jing led his troops into the camp from the rear and flank, bringing two gunpowder chariots with him.

Li Suining didn't come near. She looked at the Beidi camp with smoke rising into the sky from a distance, and promptly ordered: "Take advantage of the chaos to find where their horses are."

As soon as Kang Zhi agreed, he saw Luohuo shouting and rushing out, as if the order was given to it.

Li Suining said: "Follow Liu Huo."

"Yes!" Kang Zhi secretly marveled and mounted his horse to follow.

The pomegranate seems to be able to smell where the same kind gathers, and rushes ahead to lead the way.

Kang Zhi led the people to follow Luo Huo, and suddenly thought that Liu Huo's body shape must also be of Huma blood... In this way, he felt like a traitor who led the enemy into his own house after surrendering to the enemy?

But Kang Zhi quickly cut off this idea, because she suddenly felt that she was looking in the mirror... and simply punched the mirror to pieces.

She is neither a barbarian nor a Shengren, she belongs to His Highness! Now that he has become His Highness's man and horse, there is no more blood to talk about!

Following Luo Huo all the way, he quickly found the stable.

Kang Zhi shot and killed the Beidi soldiers who were guarding the stable or trying to lead the horses to escape, and slashed open the fence outside the stable with a knife.

As the fence fell to the ground, frightened horses galloped out, neighing and rushing in every direction, and more fled into the night and scattered in all directions.

There were more than one stable. Under the leadership of Luo Huo, Kang Zhi and others quickly released the horses from the second stable. During this period, Luo Huo rushed forward and knocked away two men wielding swords who were blocking the way. The bravery of the Beidi people opened Kang Zhi's eyes.

When he was about to go to the next stable, Kang Zhi was blocked by the Beidi Army, and the two sides started fighting.

Astride Yuanli witnessed the chaotic battle situation and realized that in this situation, there was no possibility of counterattack and victory, so he immediately ordered a retreat.

If you evacuate in a hurry, you are bound to give up a lot, but if you delay any longer, the losses will only become more severe!

The discipline of the Beidi people was not as strict as that of the Han army. Before Asteh Yuanli gave the order, some people had already fled alone or with their own tribesmen.

As the order to evacuate was issued, a large number of Beidi soldiers began to flee.

Yuan Xiang asked himself to lead his troops in pursuit. Cui Jing put his sword in its sheath and said: "There is no need to go deep. After chasing for fifty miles, we will retreat here to meet up."

"Yes, I obey!" Yuan Xiang led his troops and rode away.

The light gradually faded, and the firelight faded, leaving only black smoke floating above the ruined camp.

Cui Jing asked people to collect the remaining supplies in the camp, and asked shepherd's purse and others to leave light and practical things for them to bring.

Li Suining sat on a stone by the stream, with Lihuo and Guixi drinking water behind her, while she watched Cui Jing busy arranging various matters.

Not long after, Cui Jing came over, and Li Suining smiled slightly and said, "I'm just lazy here. I'll go to the general for all the hard work."

Under the dawn light, the young general wearing black armor corrected her: "Thank you for your highness's efforts to avoid being lazy, which makes me feel that I am still useful."

Li Suining put his hands on the stone beside him and smiled relaxedly. He didn't look like someone who was about to go into danger.

"Tonight's raid was really enjoyable." She looked at the remaining camp and said, "It's a pity that there are only about one of the three Astrid Genri troops here."

After arriving here, based on the size of the camp, it can be judged that the number of troops here is obviously less than 100,000. Asteh Yuanli must have divided the army into camps.

Cui Jing concluded: "If other Beidi generals command the army, they may retreat after this defeat, but Asteh Yuanli will not."

Li Suining nodded and looked towards the direction in which Astride Yuanli was escaping: "What's more, there is a Khan behind him who is determined to fight."

The current Khan of Beidi is in his prime and ambitious... Therefore, this man must die.

Otherwise the war will never truly cease.

This time Li Suining decided to break into the rear of Beidi, not only to disturb the hearts of the Beidi soldiers at the front.

Before that, she had already arranged for Tang Xing to sneak into Beidi secretly, but this path was very risky, and it even depended on his gambling luck. She couldn't just place her hopes on this.

Since it is an adventurous path, it is best to try a few more. Maybe there will always be one that will work. Just like making a bet, you cannot just bet on one place.

Li Suining looked further into the distance and stood up: "Cui Ling'an, it's time for me to go."

She turned to look at Cui Jing, and her tone was as relaxed as ever: "You did a good job in covering up. Just send it here."

The surprise attack is real, it is real to try the power of "engine flying fire", it is real to shock the hearts of the Beidi army, and it is real to take the opportunity to cover her actions. Only when Ast De Yuanli's army was in chaos did she have the opportunity to go deep into Beidi territory.

Good night everyone, happy weekend~
