Chapter 325 War

In fact, before the end of the Battle of Xiliang, the war machine of the Jin army had been fully launched.

Lu Qiang knows very well that Tuoba's desire to go south has never disappeared, but he is afraid of the sharpness of his weapons. Anyway, this war will be fought sooner or later, so let the war come earlier!

He sold outdated weapons to Tuoba Si in the form of a secret war, thus boldening him to go south, and as long as he provoked the war first, the Jin Dynasty would stand on justice.

Before the Wei army began to go south, the propaganda of the Jin Dynasty began. The court used various historical facts to publicize the brutality of the Wei people and called on the people to work together to resist the invasion of the aliens.

Since Lu Qiang came to power, the most important thing is the education of national righteousness. After several years of subtleization, the belief in the supremacy of the Han Dynasty has penetrated into the bones of every Han people.

Therefore, as soon as the mobilization order of the imperial court was issued, the young and strong people enthusiastically joined the army, and the gentry and merchants also generously raised military funds and salaries for the army.

Resist aggression and defend the country.

Lu Qiang returned to Luoyang in such a voice. The first thing he did when he returned to Luoyang was to hold a military conference and deploy all aspects of defense.

In fact, this is just a walk-in. Many things have been finalized before he left Luoyang.

As the marshal of the expedition to the north, He Wuji stationed 200,000 troops in Bingzhou and went to Yanmenguan at any time to fight a head-on battle with the Wei army.

Tan Daoji's 100,000 troops fought fiercely in Youzhou, preparing to cross the Great Wall and attack the Wei army from the east.

Zhao Lunwen's 100,000 army is in the west, with Jincheng as the base, ready to cooperate with the front troops to plagiarize the back road of the Wei army.

For this battle, Lu Qiang has already set a goal, which is to pact the State of Wei in the first war. Even if it cannot be completely eliminated, he will make them have no resistance.

After arranging everything, Lu Qiang came to the harem. Tuoba Mingzhu had just given birth to a baby boy and was in confinement.

Wang Shenai was supposed to be by his side. Seeing that Lu Qiang was coming, he got up and gave up his seat to Lu Qiang and quietly winked at him.

The news of Wei's large-scale attack has spread, and the harem obviously heard the news. Lu Qiang came here specially because he was worried that Tuoba Mingzhu had an idea in his heart.

He nodded to Wang Shenai, and then sat next to Tuoba Mingzhu, but saw Tuoba Mingzhu smile at him, and then his loving eyes turned to the little guy beside him and said softly, "Your Majesty, look how sweet he sleeps."

The little guy slept soundly. He put a small hand in his mouth and didn't forget to eat it in his sleep. His little mouth kept sucking. His skin was a little dark, but he looked healthier.

It seems that he knew what Lu Qiang wanted to say. After gently looking at the child, he turned his head and said to Lu Qiang, "War is your man's business. Since the day I stepped into Luoyang, I have no longer been a grassland person. Zhongyuan is my home and Luoyang is my home. No matter who wants to destroy my home, I will fight with him to the end. Of

Although her voice was soft, it was extremely firm, which made Lu Qiang moved and ashamed. For such a long time, he didn't know her at all.

If you have a wife like this, what do you want!

The reaction of the Jin Dynasty was a little beyond Tuoba's expectation, because he had not officially vowed to go south, and the reaction of the Jin Dynasty was too big, right? Is it prepared?

This idea just flashed in my heart. Now that I have the most advanced weapons of the Jin Dynasty, why can't I destroy the Jin Dynasty?

In September, Tuoba Si gathered various tribal armies outside Shengle City. After counting the events of the Jin Dynasty, he blamed the death of the former emperor on the Jin Dynasty and vowed to go south to wipe out the Jin Dynasty.

In this battle, Tuoba Si dispatched 500,000 troops, but in order to prevent Jin to attack Shengle, 50,000 troops were still left to garrison the capital. Other troops were personally commanded by him and came to Yanmen.

This time, Tuoba Si did not divide his troops. He wanted to do his best in a battle to avoid being too scattered to effectively attack the Jin army.

He Wuji, who got the news here, also commanded the army to quickly move to Yanmenguan.

This can be regarded as a real strength collision between the two countries. The Wei army is sharp and the Jin army has strong city protection, but the Jin army has a strong reserve force that the Wei army does not have. The war is not only a strong army, but also the logistical support is inseparable.

After recovering from the injury, He Wuji is thinner, but also more energetic. He walks like the wind, stands like loose, and shows the true nature of a soldier.

At this time, the Wei army had set up a large camp 30 miles away, and the camp of the 500,000 army could not be seen at a glance, as if it extended to the edge of the sky.

He Wuji saw it in his eyes, but a sneer flashed at the corners of his mouth. He had seen the power of explosives. You can imagine what kind of scene would it be when the Wei army launched an attack, when the explosives were thrown into the Wei army?

Tuoba Si also tried to use a catapult to throw gunpowder to close it, but it was no different from dreaming. For this reason, He Wuji has selected 3,000 archers from the army in order to destroy the thrown gunpowder bag.

He Wuji did not wait for a long time. The next morning, the Wei army closed down to Yanmen in the sound of the rumble of war drums. There were 10,000 infantry in front of them, and 10,000 iron cavalry guards on each side, and the most eye-catching of them was the dense catapult.

This catapult is completely made according to the drawings provided by Huang Pu. It is small and carried by Wei soldiers, like monsters, mixed among the soldiers, and there are many chariots with cars full of cloth pockets. You don't have to guess, there is gunpowder inside.

With an order from He Wuji, the divine archers were immediately in position. There was a ignited brazier at their feet. No matter what kind of gunpowder, without an open fire, it would not be ignited.

After reaching the delivery distance, the Wei army stopped and began to set up a cataping machine. The soldiers beside him held high their shields to protect themselves. At such a long distance, ordinary bows and arrows were not good, which did not mean that crossbows were not good. In addition, they also had to guard against the Jin army's cataping machines. They were originally genuine, and their power was obviously more powerful than their pirated ones. Strong.

Tuobasi looked at it proudly. So far, Yanmen has closed the Jin army's catapling machine and showed no sign of launch. I guess he was scared by so many catapling machines like them at once, right?

Without the interference of the Jin army, the catapult was quickly assembled and the ammunition was loaded. At this time, a bad feeling suddenly surged in Tuoba's heart.

"It doesn't seem to be right. The Jin army is condescending. If I also use a catapling machine, my catapling machine can't be installed so smoothly, but why didn't the Jin army respond at all? Is there any conspiracy?"

Although I think so, it's obviously too late to think about other measures.

With the order of the general in front of him, countless gunpowder bags rose to the sky and flew towards the closing. The soldiers below quickly filled the catapult once again with gunpowder, followed by the previous gunpowder bag and fired out.

Wei Jun's horse was ready to shoot the rocket to the wall and ignite the gunpowder.

Seeing that the gunpowder bag had almost flew to the wall, it closed, but suddenly shot countless rockets. After shooting on the gunpowder bag, it ignited the gunpowder bag in mid-air.

"Puff, Puff..." In the sound, the gunpowder bags turned into beautiful fireworks. Although it is daytime, these fireworks still shine brilliantly over the Yanmen.

Only then did Tuoba Si understand why the Jin army was not in a hurry to reflect, but I launched so many cataplings together. Can you intercept them?

Order soldiers not to be sympathetic to gunpowder and throw them at the close with all their strength.

Not long after the order was delivered, an officer came out of breath to report that the catapult failed, and it was not one. After three launches, almost all the catapults turned into a pile of junk and could no longer work.

How could this happen?

At this moment, Tuoba Si finally understood that he was probably fooled by the Jin army, otherwise there would be something wrong with the catapling machine?

Looking at the towering Yanmen Pass, it seemed that it was no longer a gate, but a huge magic cave, a magic cave that devoured him without bones.

If you dispatched 500,000 troops, did you retreat like this? In that case, how can I sit firmly in this position in the future? Why don't you make people all over the world laugh?

He was cruel and ordered the front army to throw away those waste-like catapults and attack the city in the most conventional way. Although I know that this stupid method is very damaging, I can't take care of so much now.

With the order of the generals in front of them again, the Wei soldiers resisted the ladder and shielded, and rushed to the Yanmen Pass like a tide.

At this time, the scene that Tuobasi was most afraid of finally appeared. As the Wei soldiers got closer and closer to the wall, countless cloth bags full of gunpowder were thrown under the city, and the rockets also fell.

In a blink of an eye, the soldiers charging ahead were caught in a sea of fire, and the soldiers behind them rushed back.

Tuoba Si came with fierce momentum. The two sharp weapons he relied on the most could not be used, but the most conventional way of playing could not even lean against the wall. What should he do?

Tuoba Si now regrets not having divided his troops. If he divides his troops now, is there still time? In desperation, he had no choice but to order the soldiers to return to the battalion first, study, and then reason.

Before Tuoba's method was figured out, He Wuji took the initiative to attack. After the fire before the customs was extinguished, he first ordered the soldiers to clean up the battlefield. The next morning, 50,000 Jin troops lined up out of the customs and openly challenged the Wei army.

Hearing this news, Tuoba Si couldn't help but be happy. After a night of thinking, he had decided to divide the troops. Yanmen was too difficult to fight.

However, now that the Jin army has taken the initiative to attack, he has to temporarily let go of this idea. After all, it is not a matter of a day or two to bypass Yanmen Pass. If he can defeat the Jin army on the front battlefield, he may be able to attack the city in one fell swoop.

Tuoba also had more attention. First of all, he pedaled to the watchtower in the camp, carefully looked at the platoon of the Jin army, and made sure that there was no heavy armored army and no large number of catapults before ordering the army to fight.
