Hand over the jade seal first [Infrastructure]

After hearing this, Xiao Zirong immediately asked, "How about the casualties of our army?"

The explosion of firearms is definitely not a small area. If you are unlucky, the entire camp where the firearms are placed may be blown up to the sky. Compared with retreating for twenty miles, he is more concerned about the life and death of the soldiers under his command. The elite of Luoxuewei.

If the firearms are gone, you can do it again. If these elites are gone, Xiao Zirong will feel distressed to death.

"More than forty casualties."

More than 40 people, it would be a big case in future generations, but it seems to be nothing in the present, especially on the battlefield.

Xiao Zirong was silent for a while before sighing and said: "Understood, have you found out why it exploded?"

He didn't ask whether the protective measures were not taken well. The words "firearm danger" were basically engraved in the hearts of Jinlingwei and Luoxuewei. Apart from military discipline, these basic knowledge were hung on the walls of their barracks for the purpose of Subtle indoctrination of ideas.

Moreover, Ling Fu and Jing Shi are both rough and fine. They had no problems when they kept attacking before, but now there must be external factors.

Well, considering that the weather in the north is dry and cold, he suspects it has something to do with it.

The Secretary of the Ministry of War frowned and said: "According to the news from the front, it seems that some secret agents poured a kind of water-like object on the firearms camp, which is difficult to extinguish after being ignited. Oh, General Zhengbei said that the thing is black and very sticky. .”

Xiao Zirong suddenly raised his head: "Black fire oil!"

"Black fire oil!" Xiao Xuexing, who also got the news, also judged this thing in an instant.

Since Xiao Zirong ascended the throne, many industries and the like have been transferred to his hands. He has also been to the refinery where black fire oil is extracted, and he has seen what black fire oil originally looked like.

It's just that he never expected that Northern Wei also had black fire oil in his hands.

Xiao Xuexing stood in front of the map and drew a red circle on it. That red circle happened to be the place where they had recently found out that Heda had beaten it. Inside the red circle was the entire Fuyang, nothing else.

Xiao Xuexing and the others happened to be in Fuyang City now. When they went to raid the Heda barracks, not all the Heda people stayed in the barracks, but some went out to plunder, and the target happened to be Fuyang City.

Xiao Xuexing sent people to stay to finish the work, then turned around and led them to Fuyang City.

When they arrived at Fuyang City, the Heda people had just entered the city to carry out looting, Xiao Xuexing and the others came at the right time, and immediately closed the city gate and beat the dogs.

In the city, Xiao Xuexing didn't dare to use firearms, but the cavalry here couldn't give full play to their advantages.

If it's just a competition of cold weapons, almost everyone in Luoxuewei is a sharpshooter with the help of a sight.

Xiao Xuexing asked people to loudly tell the people to find a place to hide, and then made a heavy crossbow.

Within two hours, the Heda people were basically wiped out. Because of the special circumstances, no one was left alive.

After the beating was over, Xiao Xuexing took people all the way to the Sheriff's Mansion, and when he got there, he found that the gate of the mansion was wide open, and inside were some servants who committed suicide.

Xiao Xuexing led the people all the way in, and as soon as he reached the main hall, he saw a middle-aged man in the official uniform of the Northern Wei Dynasty hanging in the center of the hall, and on the facing wall were written several bloody characters: Do not hurt my people.

Xiao Xuexing watched in silence for a while, and knew that this should be Fuyang Sheriff.

At last he sighed and said, "Calm down."

Huo Si commanded people to rescue the sheriff, and sent people to investigate around by the way, and the final result was that the sheriff's family was all killed in the city.

Huo Si said with emotion: "It's too stupid, and the Heda people can't understand these words. What's more, even if those beasts understand it, they won't really not hurt the people."

"But he has no choice." Xiao Xuexing stood with his hands behind his back: "This man is proud, and he doesn't want to abandon the city and surrender to just survive. He deserves respect no matter what, so let's have a proper burial."

And it was at this time that Xiao Xuexing received news from Xueziying that the firearms camp had exploded and that there was suspected black fire oil in the hands of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

The only thing I don't understand now is where the black fire oil in the hands of the Northern Wei Dynasty came from.

It seems that it is useless to pursue this matter, but in fact, the amount of black fire oil in the other party's hands can be judged through channels, and the channel that transported black fire oil to the Northern Wei Dynasty may be strangled from the source.

After all, they have contacts with Persia and Heda, and they are even big traders. At worst, they need to spend some money.

Thinking about this, Xiao Xuexing asked, "Have you survived?"

Huo Si bowed his head: "No."

Xiao Xuexing frowned slightly, but said nothing.

The situation at that time was indeed not suitable for keeping hands. They fought Heda, and Heda used civilians as shields.

Xiao Xuexing ordered at that time not to keep his hands. If it was really a trick, more people would die.

It's just that you don't need to tell Xiao Zirong about this, because his Rong'er is soft-hearted and probably will feel uncomfortable.

However, although none of the Heda people who entered the city were left alive, the leader of the Heda was captured alive at the base camp.

Xiao Xuexing asked the leader of Xida to bring him over and decided to interrogate him himself - there is no other way if he doesn't interrogate himself, he didn't bring a translator this time.

Biji was fighting against the Northern Wei Dynasty, and he did not expect to meet Heda people. Fortunately, Xiao Xuexing was very interested in Heda and Persian at the beginning. This regent with a super memory is learning languages ​​like playing.

Xiao Zirong was crushed again and lost his temper.

Xiao Xuexing sat on the upper hand, and below was the leader of Heda who was being pressed and kneeling on the ground. This leader was tall and strong, with very strong muscles on his body, and he didn't look like an easy person to deal with.

At this time, Xiao Xuexing was looking at Xiao Xuexing with an unruly expression, as if he was very unconvinced.

Xiao Xuexing asked, "How many people have you come here? What places have you occupied? Where is the base camp?"

General Heda snorted coldly, turned his head and said nothing.

Xiao Xuexing waved his hand without talking nonsense: "Treat him well." Then he changed his tone again: "Remember, if you want to say something, you can nod your head three times. No one here can understand what you say except me, please forgive me. It's also useless."

After he finished speaking, he asked Huo Si to take him down.

After about two hours, it was already dark at this time, Xiao Xuexing had just finished writing the letter to Xiao Zirong when he heard Huo Si standing outside the door saying: "General, he is willing to recruit."

Xiao Xuexing got up and went to the main hall. At this time, General Heda was no longer the unruly person he was before.

The two hours of torture made this general unable to persist, and he wished that these people would give him a good time.

Xiao Xuexing sat down and asked, "Do you still remember the question I asked you?"

General Heda panted twice and said, "Remember, we have a total of 1 people here, and they all died at your hands."

Xiao Xuexing obviously didn't believe it: "1 people? Just let you fight from west to east with 1 people?"

No matter how poor the fighting power of the Northern Wei Dynasty is, it is impossible to reach this level, let alone being able to fight back and forth with them, how could the fighting power of the Northern Wei Dynasty be poor?

General Heda shook his head and said, "We didn't attack other places, only Fuyang."

Xiao Xuexing frowned: "Then how did you get here?"

"The emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty gave us a map, and we can avoid all the checkpoints by taking that road."

Xiao Xuexing immediately sat up straight: "Yuan Ke gave you the map?"

His first reaction when he heard the news was that Yuan Ke knew in advance that he would land from Fuyang, so he directly asked the Heda people to come over and fight with them.

But soon he denied this conjecture. If Yuan Ke really did this, he would be really stupid.

If he can know in advance, it is better to ambush in advance, no matter whether it is successful or not, he can get a head start.

General Heda also went on the road, and gave the answer directly: "The emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty exchanged Fuyang with us for black fire oil."

Xiao Xuexing was silent for a moment, and was slightly angry: "What did he promise you?"

General Heda said: "Let us plunder for a period of time, after which we must retreat."

Xiao Xuexing asked, "How much did he change?"

Heda shook his head: "I don't know."

This is not something that a little general like him can touch.

Xiao Xuexing asked a few more questions, and after learning that Heda's army had really been wiped out by him, he waved his hand directly: "Give him a good time."

General Heda heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, he knew that he would not survive, and now he only hoped to die happily.

After General Heda was brought down, Xiao Xuexing looked up at Luoyang and sighed, "Northern Wei Dynasty is exhausted."

Meeting such an unscrupulous emperor, it's no wonder that the Northern Wei Dynasty was exhausted.

Xiao Xuexing rectified in Fuyang and led his troops straight in.

Of course, Yuan Ke couldn't guess that he landed at sea. According to the information collected from Heda in the Northern Wei Dynasty, he only thought that Qi's merchant ships were powerful.

Moreover, in winter, the sea in the northern border would even freeze at the coldest time. In addition, the Northern Wei Dynasty did not have a deep-water port that could accommodate the large ships of Qi State, so they had to use landing craft if they wanted to land.

The number of people carried by the landing craft is limited, and it is easy to be found if you want to land. Yuan Ke is not afraid.

It's just that he didn't expect that Xiao Xuexing happened to choose Fuyang, and he had secretly ordered his subordinates not to report the military information about Fuyang for the time being, but to report it after a ten-day period. If there is any military information, it will be destroyed , the important thing is to change the date.

At that time, the overall situation has been decided, even if you know it, it doesn't matter, and sending troops there will not get any results.

After all, this was an agreement between him and Xie Da, and this agreement allowed him to temporarily repel the almost invincible Qi soldiers, and boosted Wei's low morale.

But it was precisely because of this so-called agreement that he missed the last chance to intercept Xiao Xuexing.

By the time he realized that it was the Qi army that was attacking, Xiao Xuexing had already reached Xiangzhou.

Luoyang is within easy reach.
