The quality of the gunpowder in Nanzhong's arsenal varies. It can be used as a training powder, but it is not enough to be used as a real gunpowder on the main battlefield.
Fortunately, Huan Wen had quite a few craftsmen, so their craftsmanship was pretty good.
After fifteen days of training, Huan Wen's soldiers were finally able to skillfully operate their own tanks and also learn how to shoot.
"This is a gift from me to everyone, do you like it?" Huan Wen asked with a smile as he looked at the happy faces of his new troops.
Everyone was stunned when they heard Huan Wen's words.
Because they discovered that Huan Wen had actually moved a gun mount back and used his horses to pull it.
Huan Wen's horse is his mount. This kind of horse is very powerful. Its down-to-earth skills are even better than ordinary war horses. It can be said to be a very sacred horse, which also allows Huan Wen to easily control this kind of war horse.
"General, these are all good things!" said an old blacksmith.
Huan Wen nodded: "Well, these are the trophies I specially brought back from the south. I want to give them to everyone."
With that said, Huan Wen placed a bag of grain in front of everyone.
Looking at the twenty kilograms of food, all the New Army soldiers' eyes were red.
You know, although their soldiers were full and full, they only had one meal every day, and the rest were hungry. However, Huan Wen gave them food and kept them full.
Although they are all adults, they have only eaten half full in these years. How can they not be excited when they see this food now.
"This time, I hope everyone can eat!" Huan Wen said. He knew that these people's psychological endurance was very weak, so he had to encourage them.
After hearing Huan Wen's words, everyone lowered their heads, then silently walked to the big pot nearby, picked up a spoon and ate the rice soup, for fear that they would be scolded by Huan Wen if they ate slowly.
At this time, Huan Wen saw one of his adjutants running over and said to Huan Wen: "General, there are some letters that you need to open and read in person."
Huan Wen nodded, then took the letter from the adjutant's hand, tore it into pieces, chewed it and swallowed it.
"Everyone, let's eat! If there's not enough, you can take whatever you want."
After hearing Huan Wen's words, everyone stopped eating, and then looked at the grain and rice soup, with a blazing green light in their eyes.
Looking at this scene, Huan Wen smiled slightly. He knew that these people would not refuse. After all, they were now a group of starving ghosts.
In a short time, he emptied the entire bag of rice soup, wiped the corners of his mouth, and said, "Okay, everyone, let's eat!"
Hearing Huan Wen's voice, everyone started to wolf down the food.
"General, we have gained a lot from this trip, but where are the governor and the governor's daughter of Nanyang County you mentioned? I really want to see them." After eating, an older soldier said .
Hearing the soldier's words, Huan Wen's face darkened, and then he said, "Don't mention these two people!"
Hearing Huan Wen's words, these soldiers were also shocked. They were all soldiers who followed Huan Wen in the conquest of Nanzhong. Naturally, they knew Huan Wen's character and knew that he didn't like others to say bad things about him behind his back.
"My subordinate made a mistake." A soldier quickly stood up and knelt down towards Huan Wen.
Seeing his appearance, Huan Wen softened his tone: "I don't mean to blame you, I just don't allow you to talk about my faults behind my back. In addition to defeating Li Jiapo, we also need to eliminate the counties in Nanyang County this time." We must defend and seize Li Jiapo's territory. All of this depends on our strength. The most important thing for you, the new army who have just joined, is not to discuss these things, but to familiarize yourself with your fighting skills as soon as possible. Wait until we Once you truly win this battle, you will naturally see them."
After hearing Huan Wen's words, everyone lowered their heads.
They knew that this task was very difficult for them. They not only have to protect their own safety, but also ensure the safety of the food, grass and other things. Otherwise, this mission will not be completed smoothly at all.
"General, do we still have any food, grass and other things left?" A soldier couldn't help but ask.
Huan Wen shook his head: "No need, as long as these two things are enough."
Seeing Huan Wen's expression, everyone understood that these two things definitely weighed a lot, otherwise Huan Wen would not value them so much.
Just when everyone was about to leave, a soldier suddenly thought of something: "General, I have an unkind request."
Hearing what the soldier said, Huan Wen glanced at him doubtfully, and then said, "You tell me."
"General, we can take away your trophies, but can we also take away those clothes?" the soldier said with some embarrassment.
Hearing the soldier's words, Huan Wen smiled slightly, nodded, and said to him: "Those clothes are also my trophies. Of course, your military exploits are also included."
After hearing Huan Wen's words, all the new soldiers were overjoyed. They had long been unhappy with these clothes, but they didn't dare to say anything because they had no way to wear them. Now that Huan Wen actually offered to take them away, they were naturally very happy and wanted to take off those clothes immediately.
Seeing how excited the soldiers were, Huan Wen was very pleased.
This time, Li Jiapo, the governor of Nanyang County, is a very powerful character. If he can be defeated this time, it will be a good experience for him, and it will also be a very good training for these new recruits.
Thinking of this, Huan Wen nodded and said to the recruits: "Okay, I have given you all the food. You all go to rest! Our training volume is very heavy these days, and you all need to take a good rest. You need to rest for a period of time to recover your physical strength, otherwise your physical fitness will not be able to keep up."
Hearing Huan Wen's words, these recruits nodded quickly, bowed to him, and then retreated. They all knew that the Huan Wen now was no longer the Huan Wen before. In the past, Huan Wen still had worries, but now, he There is no need to think about anything anymore, just do what he says.
After they walked far away, Huan Wen also left the camp.
After he left, there were bursts of exclamations behind him, and the sounds seemed to overthrow the entire camp.
A proud smile appeared on Huan Wen's face: "Hahaha... You are worthy of being my son-in-law, Huan Wen! Do a good job for me, so that all the Han people will know my bravery and bravery!" (~^~)
After hearing these words, the recruits became even more motivated. They felt that they were a little lucky, because they could all accomplish something with Huan Wen on the expedition. Although Huan Wen was no longer the king of a country, this did not affect them. They have a sense of honor, and Huan Wen is easy to get along with. If they follow Huan Wen, they will definitely get good development opportunities.
"You all have a rest first. I will hold a feast for everyone tonight. Let's prepare for it. Try to make tonight's feast rich and grand, so that everyone can have an unforgettable night, and also let you enjoy the victory. I'm so happy." Huan Wen said with a smile.
Hearing Huan Wen's words, the soldiers cheered. They felt that this was the best sound they had ever heard in their lives, and the most shocking words.
Huan Wen's decision made the entire camp boil.
Seeing the excitement on those people's faces, Huan Wen also had a smile on his face.
"You all go and have a rest." Huan Wen said and then left.
After he left the camp, the soldiers here started talking.
"Hey, let me just say that our commander-in-chief cannot be an incompetent person. He must have arranged a series of plans secretly. Otherwise, how could he have captured Li Jiapo's city in such a short period of time? "
"That's right, that's right. However, I can't figure it out. Why does the commander-in-chief have so much food and grass?"
"Hey hey hey..."
Hearing this, the soldiers laughed.
"I guess the commander-in-chief robbed the food from the south."
"Hahaha...what you said is not wrong at all."
While these soldiers were discussing, a carriage slowly drove out of the army and flew towards the south.
Surrounding these carriages were thousands of cavalry. Under their protection, the carriage quickly drove into a forest.
"Miss."
After the carriage entered the forest, the carriage suddenly stopped, and then a gentle sigh came from the carriage.
Hearing this sigh, the maids outside couldn't help but become worried, but they had no choice but to wait quietly outside, hoping that the people inside the carriage could calm down as soon as possible.
"Miss, you don't have to worry. I believe you will be able to see the Lord soon." A voice sounded from inside the carriage.
Hear this sound. The maids outside also breathed a sigh of relief and then stopped talking.
After the maid's voice fell, the carriage fell into silence for a while. Only a small sound could be heard occasionally, but these small sounds were like needle pricks, making their hearts hurt, but they felt Nothing can be done.
"You all get off! Leave this carriage to me!" At this time, a voice came from inside the carriage.
Hearing that the people in the carriage were finally willing to speak, the maids breathed a sigh of relief and then left the carriage one after another.
They have worked very hard these days, but the hard work makes them feel it is worth it.
"drive!"
With a shout, the carriage started again, very fast, speeding along the way. Continuously breaking through the trees blocking the road.
This carriage was a reward from Li Chengqian to Huan Wen. They had been on the road every day these days, so the tires of these carriages were severely worn, but Huan Wen didn't feel any distress at all. Instead, he felt very relieved. Because their target is Nanyang County. As long as Nanyang County can be captured, the grain and grass in their hands can be continuously sent to the frontier, so that the soldiers of the Han Dynasty can have enough to eat.
so. They can only continue on their way now, because they must quickly capture Nanyang County, otherwise, this war will fail. Moreover, this victory will also be of great benefit to them. They can take advantage of the current strength of the Han Dynasty. There was not enough food and grass, so Li Jiapo took the food from Li Jiapo's hands. Thus. The soldiers of the Han Dynasty may starve to death due to lack of food. Such a situation is definitely not a good thing for the soldiers of the Han Dynasty.
"Miss, where are we going next?" a maid asked on the carriage.
Hear what the maid said. The people inside the carriage were silent for a moment, and then said: "You all go back and rest! Tomorrow, we will arrive in Nanyang County. By then, we will go directly to the palace in Nanyang County."
"Yes!" When the maid heard this order, she quickly agreed.
Early the next morning, when the sun had just risen, the carriage slowly drove into Nanyang County.
At this time, Huan Wen was standing on the city wall looking towards the direction of Nanyang County.
"Report! Your Majesty, Li Jiapo's troops have arrived in Nanyang County and have been in contact with us. Please tell us what to do?" A soldier walked to Huan Wen's side, knelt on the ground with one knee, and said respectfully.
Upon hearing the soldier's report, Huan Wen's lips curved into a sneer, and he glanced lightly at Nanyang County on the map. Then he said calmly: "Very good, now that they are here, we can give it a try."
Hearing Huan Wen's words, the soldier nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Send my order, the whole army is ready to attack the city!" Huan Wen shouted loudly.
Just after Huan Wen finished speaking, all the generals in the military camp stood up and walked towards the city gate.
"The Sword Comes"
Soon, they gathered together and shouted in unison: "Open the door, open the door, let us enter the city!"
Hearing their voices, the city gate of Nanyang County was slowly opened.
When the gate of Nanyang County opened, Huan Wen's soldiers quickly poured in towards Nanyang County.
"kill!!!"
Just as the city gate of Nanyang County was closed, the soldiers of Huan Wen rushed into Nanyang County.
Seeing these soldiers rushing into the city, the garrison officials of Nanyang County also rushed out of the city, trying to stop Huan Wen's troops.
In their view, these Huan Wen's troops are like locusts. When the locust plague comes, no one can defeat them. If they are attacked by these troops, then they will only die.
"Shoot arrows and shoot them!"
"call out!"
On the city tower of Nanyang County, there was a sudden burst of dense arrow rain, which was shot at the soldiers who rushed into the city. The arrows were like raindrops, and they were shot at these soldiers quickly. These arrows were like bolts of lightning, flying towards the soldiers of Huan Wen's army, piercing them one by one into sieves. Blood spurted out from their bodies, and all of a sudden they were killed. The whole street turned red.
The crossbowmen in Huan Wen's army quickly shot away these arrows, but there was no way. The arrows were too dense and they couldn't be shot at all.
At this time, a group of archers rushed to the front of Huan Wen's army and began to counterattack.
