Crossing the Battle of the Three Kingdoms

Black Jack's delay in launching an active attack was just to wait for Gao Shun's trapped camp to appear, otherwise the surrounded Cherage and the others would have long since become cold corpses.

Chapter 737

Without opening his eyes, Black Jack waved his hand and said, "Take another look, no matter what the situation is, report it in time as instructed."

In order to keep abreast of the situation of the battle, Blackjack ordered the soldiers to report every quarter of an hour, no matter whether there was any change or not. It can be seen that he was very cautious in this battle.

Just as the messenger here turned around and left, another messenger came hurriedly. "Report! Honorable Commander, an army of more than ten thousand Han Chinese rushed out of the city. The leader is Yang Song. He said that the situation has changed and he wants to see him."

"Well." Black Jack opened his eyes slightly, turned a few times and said: "It seems that they have leaked, and they want to change the plan, go, order the army, let them close the net, and at the same time be prepared for the surrounding army to stand in line, and do not go out without orders. .”

"Yes." Seeing that Black Jack didn't answer the question directly, the orderly knew clearly that the request to see the Han people was useless.

The messenger was about to leave after receiving the order, but Black Jack suddenly added: "Bring that Yang Song."

"Yes." The messenger wanted to have Yang Song's weapons confiscated and sent to the slave camp, but when he heard what Black Jack said, he quickly dismissed this idea and took the order to leave.

After a while, Yang Song, led by the soldiers, came to the tent, and Black Jack greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Hahaha, distinguished guest, sit down quickly, sit down quickly."

Hearing the words of the translator on the side, Yang Song hurriedly responded politely. "Master Jack, don't be so polite, Song will still rely on you from now on."

"Hahaha." Black Jack laughed cheerfully: "What do you rely on, Mr. Yang, we are now cooperating to control the prosperity and wealth together."

"Yes, yes, yes." Yang Song smiled, nodded again and again, and then said respectfully: "Master Jack, there are not many soldiers in this city, so we should attack the city quickly, lest they have time to respond and deploy their defenses."

Yang Song suggested that Black Jack had thought about it a long time ago, but he gave up after only a moment, because he knew Jia Xu's affairs in the past, and the city must have been fully defended, but it doesn't matter, as long as there are not many soldiers and horses , Even if it is a strong attack, it will not pay much loss.

At present, what Black Jack wants most is to annihilate the troops of Gao Shun who will be aided in the future. In this way, the hearts of the Han army in the city can be chilled, and the city can also be taken down in one fell swoop with the power of victory.

Black Jack said with a smile: "Master Yang, don't worry, as far as the soldiers and horses in the city are concerned, our warriors will definitely win them in one day. We should first solve the peripheral unstable factors first."

Since Black Jack has his own choice, Yang Song doesn't say much, anyway, he also has his own plan.

Yang Song smiled and said: "Since Master Jack is sure to take the city, then Song will clear the road to Hanzhong for him first, and wait for him to lead the army to arrive."

Hearing this, Black Jack paused in his heart. The Han man in front of him obviously wanted to use his own hands to achieve his goal.

However, in this way of attack, most of the Han people they met would fight to the death and would not surrender. At present, there is a lack of a bright representative, and he cannot be eliminated.

Furthermore, judging from the progress of this person, he should have some skills, and maybe we can reach a long-term cooperation with him.

Black Jack quickly calculated the gains and losses in his mind, and he made up his mind to pay attention and smiled: "Since you want to leave first, it's okay, but I'm afraid that you have too few troops, and what should you do if something happens?"

"In this way, my commander will send you [-] troops to follow you to Hanzhong, what do you think?"

Black Jack sent troops to Yang Song out of good intentions, but Yang Song didn't think so. In his heart, Hanzhong was already his private territory, and no one else could touch it.

Yang Song said with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Jack, for your concern. The Song family is the head of Hanzhong, and there will be no problems. It is my lord who needs soldiers and horses."

Seeing Yang Song's kind refusal, Black Jack knew that this person was more cautious and wary of him, but this is also human nature.

Black Jack nodded slowly and said: "Alright, but when Master Yang leaves, there should be an agreement between us."

Making an agreement is beneficial to both parties. Although you can go back on your word at any time, it is still useful at a certain time.

Yang Song agreed and said: "That's okay, Song's request is that the King of Hanzhong should have a real name, not just a false name."

A mere Hanzhong, Black Jack has not set his eyes on it yet, what he wants in his heart may be as good as Rahul.

Black Jack nodded and said: "This request is not too much. You can rest assured that the commander of Hanzhong will not invade even a single trace, but he will settle in and take a rest for a while. Also, if you don't take Yizhou as you call it, what the army needs You have to cooperate with the supply."

The two sides took what they needed, and the agreement was naturally reached happily. As for some small matters, there was no discomfort under the intentional concessions of both parties.

Just when the discussion between the two was about to end, suddenly a soldier hurried over. "Report! We found traces of Han Chinese cavalry outside our army."

"Oh, it finally appeared." Not long ago, Black Jack had received the news that most of the besieged Han army had been wiped out, and the rest were just dying.

Now that reinforcements from the Han people in the outskirts were found, Black Jack decided to suspend the attack and use these remnants to lure and annihilate the newly arrived cavalry.

"Quickly send an order to let the army suspend the attack. In addition, let the soldiers and horses who are guarding against the reinforcements of the Han people withdraw to the outside of the encirclement and wait for orders. As soon as the Han cavalry joins the battlefield, they will be surrounded and wiped out in one fell swoop."

"Yes." After Black Jack finished his explanation, the orderly turned and left.

Seeing that Gao Shun had arrived, Yang Song knew that the battle here was coming to an end, so he hurriedly bid farewell to Black Jack and left Yang Bai who was waiting for him, and the two hurried to Hanzhong.

Twenty miles away from the city, Gao Shun had already learned from the scouts who had just returned that two Han armies were surrounded and the situation was in danger.

Rescue is like putting out a fire. Gao Shun prepared to go to the rescue without thinking too much, but still left a thousand soldiers behind to protect Li Shu who met halfway.

Li Shu's sudden assignment to Xiliang this time was without prior preparation, and Xu Shu only followed Li Huiyi's instructions and asked Yan Liang and Zhu Da to lead the headquarter's personal guards.

However, before Li Shu left, he took away a thousand soldiers from the Shenji Battalion, and these people carried overloaded bows and arrows.

The soldiers of the Qianshenji Battalion had already been refitted, using new equipment, small crossbows, these improved crossbows, Li Huiyi took a domineering title, called the crossbow gun.

After many improvements and improvements, the crossbow gun has grown to about [-] centimeters, and can shoot three arrows at a time, and the feather arrows have also been improved, making them much shorter.

Oh, no, the bow and arrow used by the crossbow gun can no longer be called a feather arrow. To be precise, it is more appropriate to call it an iron arrow.

The inside of the iron arrow is hollow, and the gunpowder is prepared in advance and carried separately. It can be filled directly before use, ignited and fired.

Chapter 738 Li Shu's Adaptability

The improved crossbow gun is no longer as dangerous to operate as before, and it also reduces a lot of weight, making it easier to carry.

Under normal circumstances, one person can carry about [-]. If the load is overloaded, it can be doubled, but the marching speed will become slower, after all, where is the weight.

Although many problems have been solved after improvement, the production capacity is not as good as before, and what this Thousand God Machine Battalion carries is already all in stock.

Fortunately, Li Bai, who is in charge, has made a difference. Since he took over the position of Zuo Ce, he has stopped researching new weapons desperately according to the previous management model.

Instead, a small number of people with rich experience and creative thinking are left to continue to invent other types of firearms, and the rest are assigned to production, allowing them to give pointers to speed up production, in order to achieve comprehensive promotion in the military.

What Li Bai did was to make the most of his manpower and avoid a lot of unnecessary waste, because he knew that in this era, having such a weapon is enough.

As for the more advanced ones, there is no such equipment. If you want to build them, you can only do it step by step, and there is no hope at all in a short time.

Not much gossip. After Gao Shun led the army to leave, Li Shu always felt that something was wrong. According to his understanding of his mentor Jia Xu, he would never let the army be divided. Even if it was to cooperate with Gao Shun, it would be a collective A soldier.

Could it be that some accident happened? Li Shu, who was approaching adulthood, (Note: Women in the Han Dynasty were fourteen or fifty years old.) There was a hint of heroism on her childish face, but at this time she was indeed worried.

"General Yan, you lead a team into the camp, go to investigate and see if General Gao is in danger." Li Shu felt uneasy and decided to send someone to check.

"Yes." Upon hearing the order, Yan Liang clasped his fists and raised more than a dozen soldiers trapped in the camp, and then chased in the direction Gao Shun left.

Here, Gao Shun slowed down at first, and then suddenly accelerated when he was about to approach the encirclement. With a lightning-like charge, he broke through the defense line and joined Yang Ren in the encirclement.
