Chapter 471
The torrential rain in summer came very quickly. As soon as the dark clouds overwhelmed the environment, the big raindrops fell on the head and covered the face.

On the vast plain, two 10,000+ troops are coming more fiercely than the torrential rain. The green grassland is first washed by the rain, and then trampled by thousands of troops. The grass is broken into the soil and mixed with the muddy water. This scenery is amazing. It is pleasing to the eye.

On the southern hillside, Yuan Baihu rushed into the Chao Dynasty army's camp first, stabbing out with a spear in his hand, facing Yan Hanhai who had already got on his horse.

Yuan Baihu is worthy of being another fierce general of the North Turkistan after Pu Wen. With just one blow, he forced Yan Zhenhai, who was a few years younger than himself, to retreat a few steps. The cavalry, the latter raised his knife to block, but he still couldn't block the heavy blow, and was directly shot off his horse and fell into the mud.

Seeing that Yan Hanhai couldn't resist, the other two brothers of the Yan family drove forward together to help out, all three of them were good horsemen, and they met Yuan Baihu at the same time.

……

On the northern hillside, Battelle was standing in the heavy rain with a knife, and beside him was Yao Qingyi who was holding an umbrella alone. This scene looked extremely strange, but the expressions of the people around him were normal.

Beitu men are not afraid of wind, frost, rain and snow, even if the sky falls, they should not change their faces, let alone just ordinary rain.

Those men who hold up a slender bamboo bone oiled paper umbrella in rainy days are too pretentious in their eyes, especially when it is snowing with umbrellas, they can't wait to stuff snowballs into each other's crotches.

But if this happened to Yao Qingyi, even if they had the guts, they wouldn't dare, not to mention that he was sickly as a scholar, Yao Jian's ruthless and decisive methods alone are not ordinary warriors Comparable.

Ordinary tribal leaders, no matter how cruel they are, feed tigers and leopards alive, and take other people's wives and daughters by force, but in front of Yao Qingyi, these are nothing more than trivial.

Since this seemingly benevolent Confucian scholar founded the Qingwei, he has done a lot of shocking things. When the former Khan was alive, people were invited into the Qingwei from time to time. They were tortured until they lost their portraits. As for the family members and female relatives of those people, most of them were sent to Yunshao, where they were slaves and handmaidens.

Some people think that he is abusing his power, but after so many years, he has never heard of Qingwei's unjust, false or wrongly decided case, but whoever gets in will always confess in the end.

Because of this, many people in the Beitu court hated and feared this guy who had no official status but could be managed by anyone.

……

With the handle of the knife in his hand, Battelle calmly looked at the soldiers fighting desperately at the front, and said in a deep voice:
"You calculated all this in advance?"

The Confucian scholar nodded, stroked his beard and said:
"Dynasty firecrackers are indeed extraordinary. I once ordered people to infiltrate the tribes on the southern front to stir up friction with the dynasty, and took advantage of the war between the two sides to bring back a few firecrackers.

In the past ten years, the dynasty firecracker has been improved many times, and its power and accuracy have been greatly improved. However, due to the special material and the lack of iron in Beitu, it is impossible to reproduce it at all.

Although judging from the secret report sent back by the spies, it can be seen that the dynasty firecrackers were all made by that Liu Shangshu, but no essential improvements have been made in these years. I deduce that there may be someone else who actually invented the firecrackers, so he Did not attempt to assassinate that Liu Shangshu.

At the beginning of this year, Qingwei's spies in the capital were removed, and then the capital's vigilance was strengthened. Chen couldn't understand the movements there for a while, so he was asked to create the iron ball during this period.

However, the fact that firearms are afraid of water is an invariable theorem. I deliberately chose this rainy day to launch an attack. Even if the other party has some secrets, it cannot be used on this heavy rainy day. "

Hearing this, Battelle did not praise the other party's plan, but frowned slightly and said:

"But even so, it's still tantamount to letting Yuan Baihu lead the heavy cavalry to die."

Yao Qingyi heard the resentment in the other party's words, and didn't mind, and smiled slightly:

"A scholar dies for his confidant, Yuan He can have a monarch like you, and he will die without regret.

Forgive Yao Jian for speaking the truth, but with your prestige now, Khan, not to mention those big and small tribes that have always refused to obey the control of the court, even the personal guards left by the previous Khan may not be able to bow to you wholeheartedly.

Since ancient times, our grassland has respected the strong. There is no such rhetoric of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness in the Central Plains. Khan has just ascended the throne, and the foundation is not stable. Others have long been gearing up and waiting for the opportunity.

Now, among the military officers, you can be regarded as a confidant, only General Yuan, who holds five thousand heavy cavalry, if he does not go to die, how can the other tribes feel at ease to be at your command to fight this war that does not know the outcome? "

Battelle was silent when he heard the words. The middle-aged Confucian scholar glanced at him and continued:
"Yao Jian's ability to wipe out a dozen or so small clan leaders in one night is already the limit. If he does more, it will only cause counterproductive effects. Today, the Dayan family is not as stable as it appears on the surface, and it has already reached a precarious situation.

Not long ago, Qingwei sent back news that the Xiao family in the north had invited the Venerable Lingming Terrace of Daxue Mountain. They had coveted the throne for a long time, and now their intention to invite a legendary figure out of the mountain could not be more obvious.

I'm a scholar, so I don't want to get blood on my hands if it's not necessary, but this is the way of the world, if you don't provoke others, others will take the initiative to provoke you. "

Battelle's face showed a slight shock, Daxue Mountain is the most holy mountain in Beitu, and the Venerable Lingming Terrace is an immortal who lives on the mountain. Every Beitu person has heard this story when they were young.

At this time, the heavy rain was about to stop, and the voices of the two were mixed with the sound of the rain, and did not reach the ears of the third person. People around only saw what the two were talking about, but did not know the specific content.

……

Behind the camp where the two armies fought, Emperor Shun, who was dressed in a blue coarse cloth, frowned tightly as he looked at the rain outside.

The weather is too unfavorable for the firecrackers. The heavy armored soldiers of the opponent are already fighting with the Dynasty army. Although there are only 3000 people, they still disturb the formation of the Dynasty army. More than 20 troops arrived, and there was really no chance at all.

On the battlefield, many people from both sides of the war fell down, and the ground was quickly stained red with blood, and the blood and water were intertwined. Even if there was a heavy rain, it still couldn't be washed clean.

There was a ray of light between the clouds in the sky, and the mighty army of more than [-] people on the hillside was about to arrive. If they could defeat the Northern Turkistan cavalry before the rain stopped, there was still a slight chance of winning. If you want to wipe out the opponent, you can only think of a way out in advance.

……

The North Turkistan side was also not feeling well. The original [-] Iron Armored Army had already lost [-] on the road. After finally rushing to the opposing camp, they were blocked by the well-prepared Dynasty Army with long spears. After a while, they died again. hundreds of people.

The imperial army is 2000, and there are only more than [-] of them left. The only thing they can do is to resist as much as possible until the reinforcements arrive, so that the firearms will be useless.
