biggest advantage?
This stunned Gongyang Mingwen.
If he had been asked this question before, Gong Yangming would have definitely mentioned Shentu Jian's name without hesitation, including their Nanman's brave and fearless fighting style, and an excellent marshal.
But now, Wanyan Shaoning asked him this question, but Gongyang Ming didn't know how to answer.
Said it was Shentu Sword? But Shen Tujian had died a long time ago, and his body was probably starting to rot.
Are you saying that these southern barbarian warriors are brave and not afraid of death?
Not to mention, because after several battles, most of the Nanman soldiers were lost. If he dared to say this, Wanyan Shaoning would definitely be angry.
So what should be said?
Gongyang Ming laughed dryly, and then said: "Of course, of course we have an excellent marshal like you. Isn't this our advantage?"
Wanyan Shaoning frowned.
"But in these few battles, I have issued wrong orders, causing great losses to our army. You flatter me and say that I am the Nanman's biggest advantage, but I have already been defeated? What do you mean? , do we Southern Barbarians have no advantage over Daxia?"
"No, no, of course not!"
Gongyang Ming felt a vague pain in his butt, and he quickly said: "What I mean is that the marshal is good at discovering the shortcomings in his command, and can make improvements in formal battles. With a general like you, of course it is This is our biggest advantage as a Nanban!"
Wanyan Shaoning snorted coldly, but she didn't embarrass him too much.
After all, Marshal Wanyan Shaoning sees their current situation more clearly and clearly than anyone else.
It is no exaggeration to say that compared with Daxia, they have no advantage at all!
Daxia has Li Ruyi, Qin Yun, and Zhuge Xianqiao!
What do they have in the south?
Helian Yaru? Shentu sword?
Long dead!
As a marshal, he is not Li Ruyi's opponent yet. Compared with them, he certainly has no advantage at all!
Wanyan Shaoning suddenly felt that he had aged several years. He glanced at Gongyang Ming and saw that he looked nervous. He frowned and reminded: "What are you afraid of? I won't eat you. Just rest well and wait." Once you have recovered, I still hope that you will continue to instruct those carpenters to make heavy crossbows."
"Marshal, we...should we continue to use the heavy crossbow?"
The expression on Gong Yangming's face was slightly hesitant.
Wanyan Shaoning nodded and said: "Yes, but you can appropriately reduce the weight of the crossbow so that ordinary soldiers can pick up the heavy crossbow and use it freely. Do you understand?"
"Yes, I understand."
Wanyan Shaoning sneered.
"Daxia's crossbows have been lightweighted. I don't believe that the speed and power of the arrows will not be affected at all!"
Daxia base camp.
"Your Majesty has an order to capture Xiang Jiequn alive."
When he saw the contents of the letter sent by the royal spy, Qin Yun couldn't help being stunned.
"Why did Your Majesty want to capture him alive? Wouldn't it be better if we just killed him?"
He looked at Li Ruyi, who said calmly: "Perhaps, Your Majesty has something to ask Xiang Jiequn."
"this……"
Qin Yun was helpless immediately.
It was easy to kill Xiang Jiequn, but it would be much more difficult to capture him alive.
If he commits suicide or seeks death, Qin Yun will have no choice.
Furthermore, even if they could successfully capture Xiang Jiequn alive, how much energy should they spend guarding Xiang Jiequn along the way?
If you're not careful, this old guy could easily run away.
If they run away, it will be difficult for them.
Li Ruyi shrugged and said, "Your Majesty has his own ideas. As ministers, we don't have to speculate. We can just follow his orders."
She stared at Qin Yun and said with a smile: "You have made great contributions to our Daxia this time. After you return, His Majesty will definitely praise you greatly. As for Xiang Jiequn's matter... you don't have to worry about it. According to my opinion of Your Majesty, Understand, he never does useless work, and there must be other purposes for us to capture Xiang Jiequn alive."
"All right……"
Qin Yun smiled bitterly and nodded helplessly.
His gun can kill people, but catching people... I'm afraid it will be difficult.
The worst case scenario is that Xiang Jiequn will be handed over directly to Xia Mu and Yi Rui, and the two of them will join forces. Not to mention Xiang Jiequn, even if Shen Tujian is alive, they will have to be a little afraid.
After all, as Daxia generals, their strength is needless to say, and they are more than enough to deal with Xiang Jiequn.
And if the two of them were to do it, they would definitely be lighter than Qin Yun. If Qin Yun held up the Dragon Roar Spear to fight Xiang Jiequn, he would probably be stabbed through him in just two strokes.
"After these few battles, I can basically confirm that Wanyan Shaoning and the others are not our opponents. During this period, we will first mass-produce the crossbows created by Zhuge Xianqiao. After the soldiers become familiar with the crossbows, we will directly launch an attack on his base camp. Attack and end this war."
Li Ruyi's tone was full of solemnity.
"good!"
Qin Yun tightened his grip on the Dragon Roan Spear and nodded vigorously.
Daxia, Imperial Study Room.
In front of Xia Tianzi, kneeling was a secret guard in black.
"Your Majesty, after my investigation, I can basically confirm that what Xiang Jiequn did is true and there is no exaggeration."
"Um……"
Xia Tianzi sneered.
"What a great Xiang Jiequn. I've treated him well over the years, but what about him? He actually gave me such a big gift."
"As expected of my veteran general of Great Xia!"
The black-clothed secret guard lowered his head, not daring to disturb Xia Zi at this time.
It was obvious that he was now in a state of rage.
Xia Zi said calmly: "Just killing Xiang Jiequn would be too easy for him. I have countless ways to make his life worse than death."
"You go down first, continue the investigation, and see what else this bastard did."
"Yes, I am resigning."
"Ah... By the way, I remember that I asked Xu Huibao to have a one-way contact with you. Has he reported anything recently?"
The black-clothed secret guard shook his head and said: "No, everything is normal. The soldiers we sent there are also marching normally and will arrive at the military camp tomorrow."
"Okay! When Marshal Li and General Qin return from victory, I will reward them well!"
Xia Tianzi clapped his hands and laughed.
"Wanyan Shaoning and Shen Tujian are nothing in front of my marshal and general!"
"That's natural."
There was also a hint of smile in the tone of the black-clothed secret guard.
One day later.
"General Hou, long time no see."
When Xia Mu saw Hou Yong leading a group of soldiers to the base camp, his eyes widened in surprise.
"Why are you here?"
Hou Yong smiled and said: "His Majesty sent me to lead the army here a few days ago because he knew the enemy had an opportunity. Of course, the tiger talisman is not in my hands. I don't have the qualifications. The most I can do is lead this group of soldiers to the base camp. , as for the command power, it is still in the hands of Marshal Li."
