Chapter 303 Thunder is ready to go
The next morning, Qin Mubai did not appear on the campus of the backyard of the governor's mansion, but left Lanzhou at dawn with a team of iron armor.
Princess Gaoyang carefully lay on the ladder and peeped for a long time. She didn't look at Qin Mubai's figure. She was so cold that she sucked her nose. Finally, she scolded anly for a while.
Qin Mubai came to his secret military base, Iron Valley.
After this period of operation and care, the "Iron Valley" has taken on a new look. In the past, the ravines with poor mountains and rivers have now built houses, opened a flat open field for school, sorted out leisurely flower garden and sheep's lawn, and even opened a pond, which attracted the mountain spring into it and raised some fish.
Although it is not a paradise, the living environment has improved a lot. This is nothing more than proof that it is rich and easy to do things, and there are many people and great strength.
A row of warehouses, heavily guarded, and idle people should stay away. Inside are 40 cannons in red and countless gunpowder shells. The two hundred artillerymen sent before have almost been trained and ready to go. Now, Qin Shi and Tu Youhai are already studying the "land thunder" according to Qin Mubai's drawings. If this guy can toss it out, it will undoubtedly be a huge achievement. The group of orphans and apprentices who were sent were mostly begging on the street without food and clothing. Now they have food, clothing, and hope for the future. They all concentrate on learning. It seems that the talents of "Iron Valley" are also promising.
Qin Mubai took away the 30 cannons and also took away the 200 artillerymen.
In the First Battle of Dafeichuan, they have to play a decisive role!
However, before the cannon officially appeared, it could only hide in a big wooden box and drag it away from the deep mountains with an ox cart. Because the mountain road is not close, Qin Mubai did his best to transport them to Lanzhou City and hide them in the governor's mansion the next day after dark.
Qin Shubao visited the cannon and said in surprise, "Sanlang, what's the use of such a divine object?"
Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Dad, this is the emperor's secret order to allow me to make the 'cannon in red'. I have demonstrated to Your Majesty in the barren mountains of the Beiyuan of Daming Palace. Once a shot came out, the target was burned with jade and horses within a radius of one foot.
"Oh, you use it to attack Dafeichuan, right?" Uncle Qin suddenly realized, "Is it really so magical? Let me have a look."
"It's better not to say goodbye, Dad." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "In Lanzhou City, there is no place to try. With a bombardment, the sky and the earth cracked and the wall fell to the ground. I was afraid that the army and civilians in Lanzhou would panic.
Qin Shubao had to give up and visited curiously for a while, questioning, "However, this thing is extremely cumbersome, and it must be quite difficult to carry. I think you are all ox carts. How can you play this? At the speed of the ox cart, from here to Dafeichuan, I'm afraid your father and I are already old.
"Haha, it won't!" Qin Mubai smiled and said, "It's only because of the rugged mountains that I have to use the ox cart. When you get to a place like the plain and wilderness, you can change it into a light-loaded carriage, and at least the speed will not be slower than the march. However, this is indeed a big defect of it. It is extremely heavy, so it is difficult to carry. Moreover, I am also afraid of rain. First, the barrel is easy to rust, and second, it is more difficult to carry in rainy days. What I'm most afraid of is that the lead ammunition will be broken when it is wet.
"Well, everything has disadvantages and benefits." Qin Shubao nodded and said, "Such huge objects are most suitable for guarding the strongholds for leisure, or advancing the battalion step by step. First, use the horse to buy time and space, and then use them to carry out a devastating attack on the enemy."
"Father is handsome and wise." Qin Mubai raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Now you understand why I have formulated a ten-sided ambush strategy?"
Qin Shubao nodded with a smile, looked at the dark barrel in front of him with great interest, and said, "I just don't know how powerful this thing is? There are 60,000 troops in Tubo. How many can be killed?
"It's not the point to kill the enemy more or less, but the most important thing is to shock the enemy." Qin Mubai said, "An important reason why Tubo is not brave and good at fighting is because they are strong and barbaric. Barbarism also means ignorance and ignorance. In the face of such a blow, they may guess what kind of Tianwei is coming and helping us, Tang Jun. Dozens of shots went down, and all the people and horses broke into a big pit on the ground, and the smoke of gunpowder was burning. Have they ever seen such a situation and fought such a battle?
Qin Shubao couldn't help but change his face: "I'm afraid... I'm afraid that my father will also be afraid in the face of such a scene. No matter how strong his martial arts are, no matter how brave and fearless he is, he can't resist the power of heaven and earth!"
"That's right." Qin Mubai smiled slightly and said confidently, "Tomorrow, the child will let Xue Rengui lead the elites of Yifu to ride first, go to the city to meet Xue Wanjun, and first deploy and implement the first half of the strategy. I estimate that as long as there is no big failure like last time, we should be able to successfully control the Tubo people on the shore of Qinghai Lake in Dafeichuan. At that time, it will be my turn to play.
"Good! As a father, I will wait and see if this cannon in red is really as powerful as you boast!" Qin Shubao's face was a little more serious and he said, "Sanlang, war is not a joke. You must be sure to win, but don't be too optimistic and take risks."
"Well, I know."
The next morning, Qin Mubai sent troops in the army and vowed to go on an expedition. Xue Rengui led more than 2,000 elites under his command to ride more and more, and his clothes and armor were clear and strict. The father and son of the Qin family stood on the stage, which was particularly eye-catching.
Princess Gaoyang sucked her nose and snickered: "I didn't crawl for nothing today. I saw it! It seems that we still have to go on an expedition. It's so serious and formal! - Well, Mu Bai won't go on an expedition, will he? I seem to have seen Xue Rengui take over the general flag he gave!"
"Princess, can you chat alone?" The maidservant under the ladder laughed for a while.
"A begging for a fight!" Princess Gaoyang scolded and said, "Call a sergeant to the governor's office to see if Mu Bai is also going to go on an expedition?"
"Yes."
Xue Rengui led the army out of the camp, and more than 2,000 people rode neatly and lightly, and soon left the campus. Fortunately, Qin Mubai still stayed on the stage, and Princess Gaoyang was secretly happy.
At this time, several other cavalrymen ran towards her. She hurriedly shrank her head and climbed down the ladder and smiled proudly, "I'll hide quickly now. Don't be plotted by an arrow!"
Send Xue Rengui away, Qin Mubai came to the heavy camp on the campus, and finally checked the batch of cannons, shells and other things. At the same time, a large number of craftsmen are also speeding up the transformation of cars towing cannons according to the requirements of Qin Mubai. Previously, the car in Tiegu was just a rough carriage, which was only suitable for mountain road transportation. If you want to officially use it for marching, it is obviously too cumbersome and inconvenient.
It will take at least two days to finish this. Once it is completed, it is time for Qin Mubai to start. It is estimated that when he arrives in Dafeichuan, the battle of ambush on all sides should come to an end, and the cannon will come in handy. The time is quite tight.
At this time, the Baiqi officer who was sent to the princess Xingyuan to be in charge of the guard ran to the battalion to find Qin Mubai, saying that the princess sent him to ask if he would also go on an expedition?
Qin Mubai thought for a moment and left Lanzhou in a couple of days. He didn't know when he would come back. It was time to tell her.
So, he went straight to Xingyuan by himself.
Princess Gaoyang was overjoyed to see Qin Mubai coming. In order to avoid making him "frightened", she also deliberately drove the four maidservant away and sat alone with Qin Mubai to drink tea.
"Mu Bai, why did you want to leave when I first came here?" Hearing Qin Mubai say that he was going to leave Lanzhou for a period of time, Princess Gaoyang suddenly felt much worse.
"I can't help it. After all, I came here to lead the army to fight. It's not for leisure." Qin Mubai said, "You also came here by chance. At this time, there is a big battle to fight, and you have to have me."
"Why?" Princess Gaoyang was not happy and said anly, "In addition to you, aren't there many generals such as Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche? They are all high-ranking officials, eat more and take more than you, and they are arrogant to fight with you. Why don't you let them go to war?"
Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Linger, that's not how the account is calculated. Public belongs to public, private belongs to private, one code belongs to one code. This big battle is related to the situation of the whole river and the future of Lanzhou. Xue Wanjun? Indeed, this time he is the commander.
"Why!" Princess Gaoyang was even more unhappy, "You are the son-in-law. Why do you still work under his command?"
"Haha!" Qin Mubai was amused, "Why do you have a problem?"
"I just have a problem!" Princess Gaoyang pouted and said an annoidly, "Or don't let you go on an expedition, or you can be the commander-in-chief!" This expedition also asked you to be a subordinate to Xue Wanjun. I know his virtue. If he wins the battle, the credit goes to himself. If he loses, the responsibility is shifted to his subordinates - ah, he has been squeezed out by him like this!"
"You really know a lot of things." Qin Mubai shook his head and smiled, "But this time, it's impossible."
"Why?" Princess Gaoyang asked curiously.
"Because... it's about military secrets, I can't tell you." Qin Mubai smiled.
"I won't say that, right?" Princess Gaoyang's eyes turned a little, "I'll go to the Duke of Yi and tell him that you bully me and same me!"
"Go! Time has passed, and this trick is out of date now. It doesn't work. Qin Mubai smiled indifferently, "My father can't wait to have a son for me now."
"Huh... don't be ashamed!" Princess Gaoyang scolded, but her face turned red.
"It's strange that I didn't see your four maidservant today?" Qin Mubai pretended to be curious and looked around.
"What, do you miss them?" Princess Gaoyang said sourly.
"Don't say it, it's really a little bit." Qin Mubai said with a bad smile, "What can I say... It's a hundred days of love for a married couple overnight!"
"I want to go back to Chang'an!" Princess Gaoyang shouted anly.
"Don't worry. When the war is over, I'll go back with you. We are going to have a big wedding ceremony, right? Qin Mubai said with a heartless smile.
"Qin-Mu-Bai!" Princess Gaoyang was angry and jumped up with her teeth and claws, "I'll fight with you!"
"Haha!" Qin Mubai laughed and wrestled with her on the couch. With the opportunity, he held Princess Gaoyang in his arms and pressed her under him.
The beautiful woman who was close at hand was smiling with her face and eyes. Qin Mubai couldn't help but be furious and kissed her red lips.
"What kind of virtue did you have after studying for so long last time?"
"Don't do such a thing. I'm so ashamed!" Princess Gaoyang blushed with shame and turned her face. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, obviously snickering.
"Oh, then I have to go to them." Qin Mubai was about to get up.
"How dare you!!" Princess Gaoyang was so anxious that she hooked Qin Mubai's neck with her arms in a round, and the two **s also hooked Qin Mubai's knees, hanging on him like a tree otter.
"Oh, how can you be such a domineering daughter-in-law?" Qin Mubai said anly, "If you don't have a wedding with me, why don't you allow others to have sex with me?"
"No, no, just don't!" Princess Gaoyang shook her head proudly, "Wait for me to pass Tiankui...ah!"
I spilled the beans!
Qin Mubai laughed loudly, which made Princess Gaoyang grind her silver teeth and had the impulse to bite him.
