Feng Yongcheng and Tan Xing couldn't wait to get on their horses and galloped all the way to Xi County.
Feng Yongcheng is Zhao Ping's disciple, and almost all the guards here know him.
He went in directly without any notification, and the guards saluted him and let him go.
Seeing Feng Yongcheng come in, Yang Yun couldn't help but ask: "Yongsheng is here, sit down! It's just that we don't need to send people to your place to inquire about the use of the Tiger Crouching Cannon. How are your casualties?"
There are several meanings in his words. One is the casualties at Hetanguan, and the other is the performance of the Tiger Crouching Cannon.
"The general was seriously injured when he left, and there are currently no deaths." Feng Yongcheng couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in his answer.
Just because he himself did not die does not mean that friendly troops did not die.
"Nearly a hundred people died in Wuhou Town, more than a thousand were seriously injured, and more than 3,000 were slightly injured." Yang Yun sighed.
Behind Wuhou Town is Yangping Pass, which is the first pass from Hanzhong Prefecture to Chengdu Prefecture.
It can be said that if the Shanzhai people capture Yangping Pass, Xixian County will completely lose contact with Chengdu Prefecture and truly become an isolated city.
After the security group captured Xi County, Zhao Ping immediately arranged for the security group to build a town in front of Yangping Pass and named it Wuhou Town.
Yangping Pass is too small and can only be defended by about a hundred people, which cannot stop the barbarians from attacking wildly.
Wuhou Town is very large, almost as big as half of Xi County, which greatly strengthens the strategic depth of Yangping Pass.
Wuhou Town is so important and the most critical place in Xi County. It is natural for the barbarians to attack madly.
The location of Wuhou Town is actually not bad and it is also a strategic location.
To the north is the Tiandang Mountain belonging to the Qinling Mountains, to the south is the Han River, and to the east is the Wangjia River.
Although Wangjiahe is also a river, it is a small river. Currently, this small river is the moat of Wuhou Town.
Zhaojiazhuang built a city wall along the Wangjia River. The city wall was five miles long.
The river is a small river and the wall is a long wall. The defense is much more difficult than Hetan Pass, which gives the Hu people a huge offensive surface.
The Hu people who attacked the city at Hetanguan were in the thousands at one time, while the Hu people in Wuhou Town were in the tens of thousands at one time.
"Tell the military advisor that there are many attack points in Wuhou Town, so there will naturally be more battles between the two sides. It is not surprising that there will be casualties." Feng Yongcheng said the reason why he suffered greater casualties, "How many casualties were there among the copycats?"
"Of course the copycats didn't want to please them. About five thousand of them died, tens of thousands were seriously injured, and an estimated 20,000 were slightly injured." Yang Yun shook his head, "The results of the battle look good."
"But the people in the village don't regard human life as human life at all, and they don't care whether they live or die." Cao Ke dismissed the Hu people, "There are many of them anyway."
Although he said this, he was still a little unhappy. After all, the casualties in Wuhou Town were greater than those at Hetan Pass.
Zhao Yun hurriedly looked aside and said with admiration: "Wuhou Town is the key to West County. If you save Wuhou Town, you will save West County."
Now Yang Yun divides Xi County into two battlefields, which are defended by the Sichuan Army and the Security Group respectively.
The Wuhou Town battlefield is defended by the Sichuan Protecting Army, and the Dingjunshan battlefield including Hetan Pass is defended by the security group.
They thought that the Hu casualties were already heavy enough, but they did not expect that the Hu casualties in Wuhou Town would be even greater.
In just one day, 15,000 Hu people were seriously injured and died. This is horrifying.
Thinking of this, Feng Yongcheng and Tan Xing couldn't help but glance at each other.
They can't help but secretly feel lucky to join the security group, and only the security group truly cares about human life.
Of course, the Sichuan Guard Army, a brother unit of the Security Corps, is no exception.
"Congratulations to the military advisors, commanders, and administrators. How are the conditions of Jinzhi (Dai Shiqian), Zijie (Liu Wei), Yongzhi (Ma Li), and Zipin (He Shude)?" Feng Yongcheng asked a question of concern.
He, Dai Shiqian, Liu Wei and Ma Li are all brothers and colleagues in life and death. He and He Shude are old friends from Tonggu Mountain, so they naturally have to care about them.
Yang Yun knew that he wanted to care about his life and death brothers, so he nodded and patted his shoulder: "Jinzhi and Zijie are slightly injured, Yongzhi and Zipin are more seriously injured, Yongzhi's right hand is fractured, and Zipin's left is slightly injured. The foot is broken. Fortunately, the two of us are only around 20 years old. I will return you two good brothers in three months."
"Inform the military advisor, my subordinates are now going to see the seriously injured brother." After Feng Yongcheng finished speaking, he bowed his hands and couldn't wait to go to the hospital.
Yang Yun continued to pat him on the shoulder, feeling really touched by his brotherly love.
He reminded with a smile: "Shengsheng, your two brothers are fine. They have already taken medicine for bruises. You are here not just to see your brothers."
"Shen Zhi, do you think so?" After speaking, he asked Tan Xing.
Feng Yongcheng was a little embarrassed and bowed his hand. He was thinking of brotherhood and forgot the purpose of his visit.
Feng Yongcheng saluted Yang Yun, Zhao Yun, Cao Ke, Zhang Hong, and Xi Xing emphatically, and said in a deep voice: "Let me tell the military advisor, the commander, and the chief secretary that the general is here to ask for the squatting tiger cannon."
"Eternal life, what is the effect of this?" Xi Xing asked impatiently.
He is the chief of the security group and has the most authority to interfere with the power of this weapon.
"Let me tell you, the effect is really good. It can almost injure the copycat who controls a return cannon." Feng Yongcheng thought for a while and said the effect, "Their copycat thunder can't be fired normally, and as a result, it is fired at the attacking copycat." Among them, seventy or eighty cottagers were injured and killed."
Xi Xing's eyes lit up, with a smile on his face, and he asked: "How far is this Hui Hui Pao from the city gate?"
"Report to the chief secretary, those returning cannons were about a hundred paces away. Those returning cannons injured many soldiers, and the general was heartbroken to death." Feng Yongcheng said.
Xi Xing thought for a while and asked: "Yongsheng, what is the hit rate of this Tiger Crouching Cannon?"
"I'm sorry, I forgot to tell the chief. It almost hit the target with 100% accuracy. I saw it fire three cannons, and all the cannons hit." Feng Yongcheng almost started dancing, but thinking that this was a military camp, he quickly calmed down.
Yang Yun, Zhao Yun, Cao Ke, Xi Xing, and Zhang Hong looked at each other, and they all couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Yang Yun thought for a while and continued to ask: "Shengsheng, how far do you estimate its effective range is?"
"The Huihui Artillery has only taken 250 steps recently, so it should be within its effective range." Feng Yongcheng thought for a while, then turned to ask Tan Xing, "Dodge it, what do you think?"
Tan Xing thought for a while and nodded: "There should be no problem with this. Yushan (Li Kunlun's character) has tried it and it can reach five hundred steps."
"It seems that the Tiger Crouching Cannon should be the enemy of the Shanzhai people." Yang Yun nodded with a smile on his face.
"Of course it should be its nemesis. After the Hu people were hit by the Crouching Tiger Cannon, they didn't know why they were injured, and they asked their gods to dance to bless them." At this point, Feng Yongcheng couldn't help laughing.
Yang Yun, Zhao Yun, Xi Xing and others couldn't help laughing, and the shadow of the barbarian's backfire was swept away.
Feng Yongcheng couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw them laughing, and applied while the iron was hot: "Wash the Master's Book, since this is so good, I will receive twenty of them to give you the prestige of killing the copycats."
Xi Xing and Zhang Hong looked at each other, smiled bitterly and shook their heads.
Feng Yongcheng felt that his heart was cold, and he couldn't help asking: "Aren't there two chief secretaries?"
"Yes, there are, but unfortunately not many." Xi Xing looked at Feng Yongcheng with a wry smile.
Feng Yongcheng felt itchy in his heart and couldn't help asking: "How many squatting cannons are there in the master's book?"
"There are only twenty in total. I can't give them all to you." Xi Xing looked at Feng Yongcheng and said meaningfully.
Feng Yongcheng and Tan Xing looked at each other and couldn't help but be disappointed: "So few!"
"The production process of the Tiger Crouching Cannon is completely different from that of the Tornado Cannon. Wrought iron is used as raw material, and the iron hoop and barrel are made. The difficulty is ten times that of the Tornado Cannon. No, it is more than a hundred times." Xi Xing sighed while saying Shake his head.
Feng Yongcheng was even more confused. He bowed his hands and asked, "Why is it a hundred times more than that?"
"The craftsmanship comes second. The key is that there is very little iron ore in Mian County, and it must be transported from Chengdu, thousands of miles away." Thinking of this, Xi Xing couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and said in return, "The road to Shu is as difficult as climbing to the sky. .”
"In this case, how can I fight against the copycat's Huihui artillery?" Feng Yongcheng was a little depressed.
Xi Xing glared at Feng Yongcheng and said sternly: "Why can't we fight? The bed crossbow has a range of a thousand steps and can destroy the Hu people's return artillery."
"Although it can destroy the returning artillery very quickly, the efficiency is too low." Feng Yongcheng thought this in his heart, but he couldn't say it out loud, otherwise it would be a great disrespect to Shangguan.
Xi Xing glanced at Feng Yongcheng and said, "It seems that Yongsheng must be unconvinced. You have already used the Tiger Crouching Cannon, and the others have not yet used the Tiger Crouching Cannon. Aren't they even more aggrieved?"
"Report the report to the master, but the general is not convinced. The people in Hetangguan Village are attacking fiercely, and they will need at least two tiger cannons." At this point, he simply said, "If you don't give it to the general, the general will have to stay here. Not leaving."
Xi Xing shook his head, put his hands on his hips, pointed at Feng Yongcheng and laughed loudly: "You are a slanderer, and you are indeed a slanderer."
Except for Tan Xing, everyone else couldn't help laughing at Feng Yongcheng's shameless behavior.
Tan Xing knew that he was not afraid of Feng Yongcheng at all. The reason was simple. His master was the little sage Zhao Ping.
Xi Xing would at most reprimand Feng Yongcheng for being a scoundrel. After all, he still wanted to see Zhao Ping's face.
Tan Xing already knew this, which was why Feng Yongcheng dared to come here directly from the battlefield.
Of course, this is based on principles, that is, no mistakes can be made, and mistakes will inevitably be punished by military law.
"Yongsheng, why did you suddenly leave Hetan Pass? What will happen on the battlefield?" Zhao Yun glared at him and asked sharply.
Feng Yongcheng immediately straightened his chest, gave a respectful salute, and said: "To inform the commander, the general has already arranged for Peng Zhi to control his subordinates. After the arrangements are made, the general will come here to report the effect of the Tiger Crouching Cannon."
When asked by his boss, he gave two reasons.
One of them has arranged for the deputy to fight, and the other is that he made a special trip to report the effectiveness of the Crouching Tiger Cannon.
These two reasons were so upright that even if Zhao Yun wanted to find fault with him, he had nothing to say.
Of course, in fact, if Zhao Yun really wants to find fault with him, he can just ask Tan Xing directly. Why do you do it yourself?
Zhao Yun asked this, actually giving everyone including Feng Yongcheng, Yang Yun and others a step down.
Feng Yongcheng did not leave the battlefield privately, but came to the base camp to report important military affairs.
If Feng Yongcheng cannot give this reason, he will inevitably be charged with leaving his post without permission.
Thinking of this, Feng Yongcheng was grateful to see Zhao Yun. He was indeed a good boss who always considered his subordinates.
The army is like this, all regulations must be followed, otherwise it will be in disarray and will only lose the battle.
"Yongsheng, since the military affairs have been reported, why don't you go back?" Zhao Yun nodded and continued to ask.
Feng Yongcheng bowed respectfully, puffed up his chest and replied: "Report to the commander, the general feels that the number of Crouching Tiger Cannons is insufficient, and he would like to take two Crouching Tiger Cannons back."
As expected, he is a good boss of his, using his own mouth to express his boss's thoughts.
"The two chief clerks are eager to live forever. I wonder if they can defeat each other?" Zhao Yun looked at Xi Xing and Zhang Hong and bowed his hands.
Xi Xing and Zhang Hong couldn't help but smile bitterly. This Zhao Yun really protected his shortcomings and actually fought for him in person.
Zhang Hong thought for a while, bowed his hands, and asked Zhao Yun: "The Wuhou Town copycats are attacking more fiercely, how do you think Commander Zhao will distribute it?"
Not only Zhang Hong looked at him, but Cao Ke also looked at him.
After all, there are currently only twenty Tiger Crouching Cannons, how to distribute them?
Cao Ke is the commander of the Sichuan Protecting Army, and Zhao Yun is the commander of the security group.
Although Cao Ke did not speak, it did not mean that he had no ideas.
