Datang: Eight-year-old general

Chapter 499
"The general sent nine Shenwu cannons, plus the eleven newly built in our border Seoul, a total of twenty Shenwu cannons."

"That's it, the big cannibals who can blow up can cry for their fathers and mothers. If Baghdad can't be broken within five days, then the two of us will really have no face to see the general." Hearing Hua Xiong's words, Deng Ai pursed his lips, The tone is confident.

Three months ago, when Zhou Cang arranged for the Beiting soldiers to secretly send the nine Shenwu cannons to the border city of Seoul, Hua Xiong and Deng Ai understood what Li Yi meant.

Overnight, he asked the Qige refiner who followed him if he could cast Shenwu Cannon in Bian Seoul.

The craftsman of Qi Pavilion only said one thing, as long as there is enough copper and iron, they can forge Shenwu Cannon.

He also told Hua Xiong and Deng Ai that the Shenwu Cannon actually has anti-plagiarism measures. Even if the enemy country steals a Shenwu Cannon, it cannot be manufactured without core technology.

Even if it is imitated, it will explode immediately.

This news made Hua Xiong and Deng Ai very happy.

Immediately ordered Guan Ning's iron cavalry to secretly collect copper and iron. In order not to leak any news, they also changed the backyard of the city lord's mansion into a casting workshop.

The two took turns leading people to guard the Cannon Workshop.

To protect the safety of Zhupaofang, and guard against the big food spies in the border Seoul.

"Shouldn't this be more rigorous, a general should not be arrogant, this is a taboo in military strategists." Hua Xiong restrained his smile.

He was indeed very happy to be able to return to the battlefield.

But Dashi will not be underestimated.

Numerous war allusions have proved a word, proud soldiers must be defeated.

"That's right." Deng Ai nodded, and also set his sights on the sand table, "Then let me deduce it again to see whether our strategy of using troops before is perfect."

"Alright." Hua Xiong agreed, picked up the wooden stick, and drew on the sand table, marking where the Dashi army is currently stationed.

They have several roads that they can go on.

The surrounding mountains and so on...

A detailed tactical exchange was conducted.

Not long after, the two paused.

Because there were two hurried steps at the entrance of the meeting hall.

You don't need to guess, you know that Zhou Cang is here.

Seeing him enter the door, he asked, "Two generals, is the general going to attack Dashi?"

"Haha, Zhou Cang, looking at you, your blood is already boiling." Hua Xiong greeted him with a loud laugh.

"Exactly." Zhou Cang said solemnly, "I saw the big food bastards jumping in front of my eyes, and I wanted to go up and crush them to death."

Since Zhou Cang led the 15 Zhenxi Army to a valley not far from the border Seoul, he saw Ge Shuhan's remnant soldiers and was beaten back by the Dashi Army.

Both aggrieved and angry.

If it weren't for the border city of Seoul, they would not have dared to cross the line. Ge Shuhan's remnants in Longyou might have been wiped out by the Great Food Army.

but!

Although they dare not cross the line, they will come to test the attitude of the border city every once in a while to see if there are heavy soldiers hidden in the city.

After all, they were scared by Li Yi and Bai Qi before.

I'm afraid that the soldiers under Li Yi's command have not disarmed.

As soon as they crossed the line and wiped out Ge Shuhan's remnant Longyou army, Bian Seoul suddenly sent troops to attack them behind the scenes.

They can't stand it.

"It's enough for them to dance now." Hearing this, Deng Ai's eyes flashed coldly.

Hua Xiong sighed with emotion, "If Ge Shuhan hadn't indulged himself too much in Baghdad, he wouldn't have had a stroke and become disabled."

"It's not easy for Dashi to defeat him."

"Who can blame this?" Deng Ai said disdainfully, "If he hadn't been greedy for sex and drunk too much, he would have become what he is today?"

"As a general, one should keep one's self clean and self-possessed, and drink moderately."

"Okay, two generals, let's not talk about this matter. Let's talk about how we should kill the big food army." Zhou Cang didn't expect that he would mention Ge Shuhan himself, which actually aroused Hua Xiong and Hua Xiong. Deng Ai's extreme discomfort.

"Yes, we digressed." Hua Xiong and Deng Ai came over in a panic.

Among them, Deng Ai pointed to the sand table and said, "General Zhou Cang, you also know that our army now totals 25."

"The Zhenxi army has 15 infantry, and the Guanning cavalry has [-]."

"The Dashi Army has 30 troops, of which 15 are recruits recruited from within Dashi, and their combat power is not as strong as the old army."

"Based on this calculation, we are not much different from Dashi troops."

"In addition, our army has [-] god weapon cannons."

After finishing speaking, Deng Ai pointed to the small flag marked with Dashi, and continued, "In my opinion and General Hua Xiong's intention, first concentrate our forces to eat up the 15 Dashi army."

"This does not reveal the existence of the Shenwu Cannon. When they are waiting to attack Baghdad, they will give them a surprise blow."

"Then how to eat up the 15 food army?" Zhou Cang had no objection to Deng Ai's thoughts.

Instead, I want to know how Hua Xiong and Deng Ai will destroy the 15 food army.

He is also very clear about Shenwu Cannon.

If the Shenwu artillery is exposed in advance, the 15 defenders in Baghdad will inevitably become vigilant.

This will lead to an increase in the difficulty of their siege.

After destroying the 15 food army in front of you, go to attack the city with Shenwu artillery.

If the defenders of Baghdad are not mentally prepared, they will definitely become chaotic.

Casualties would be disastrous.

At that time, with the 15 infantry of the Zhenxi Army, it will be much easier to attack the city.And it can also greatly reduce the casualties of the Zhenxi Army.

"This requires the help of Ge Shuhan."

At this moment, Hua Xiong approached Shapan and said, "General Deng Ai and I have the idea to use Geshuhan as bait to lure 15 food troops to the foot of Mount Kuskel."

"And we ambushed on both sides of Kuskel Mountain, raided the 15 food army, and besieged them on the road of Kuskel."

"First charge with 15 Guanning iron cavalry, and the 15 Zhenxi army will shrink in the periphery. At that time, the [-] large food army will be crowded together, and it will be impossible to break through."

"It can only be in our pocket!"

"This plan is very good." Zhou Cang also has a certain understanding of the mountains near the border city of Seoul, and even investigated it secretly.

It is natural to understand that Mount Kuskel is the best place to ambush.

It can also spread out many soldiers.

But he also had his doubts, so he asked, "Then how can we persuade Ge Shuhan to agree to lure the big food army?"

"Presumably he already knew that the general beheaded his cousin Ge Shuluo."

"At this time, Ge Shuhan is ill, and the big food army is watching, so there is no chance to go to the general to make a theory."

"It may be difficult to persuade him to help us."

"General Zhou Cang is too worried," Deng Ai shook his head and smiled, "If Ge Shuhan is not sick, maybe he won't help us."

"But now he can only lie on the couch, not to mention whether Chang'an will abandon him, even the generals in his Longyou Army must be eager to take his place."

"If Ge Shuhan is smart enough, he will know that after losing power, not only will it be difficult to live, but even his safety will be at risk."

"In this way, he can only find a big backer to keep his position."

"Tell me, looking at Datang today, who is more powerful than the general?"
