Chapter 72 I Want Him to Be My Slave

After listening to Mu Changtian's words, Lu Chen looked at the map and fell into deep thought again.

This is indeed a problem. The Wanning River Valley is not long, and it is not a big problem for the barbarian cavalry to pass quickly.

Once the howitzer is used, the barbarian cavalry will inevitably be in chaos. They will either rush forward or retreat backward.

Whether the barbarian cavalry rushes forward or retreats backward, they need to use a large number of soldiers to resist the barbarian cavalry.

Of course, if they just plan to repel the barbarian soldiers, they only need to defend the front of the Wanning River Valley.

However, Lu Chen's ambition is very big. He doesn't just want to repel the barbarian cavalry.

If they just repel the barbarian cavalry, those barbarian cavalry will not be able to take Yancheng, and they may attack other cities again.

What he wants to do most in this battle is to eliminate the barbarian's living force, so that the barbarian can't gather troops to go south for a long time.

So these 300,000 people must not be put back.

If they were put back, wouldn't the barbarian soldiers go south to plunder again after they recovered? Lu Chen didn't think the howitzers could completely scare them.

Lu Chen had heard about the situation in the north. When winter came, even many people in Beijun would starve to death, not to mention the barbarians on the grassland.

Lu Chen was not sympathizing with the barbarians, but in his opinion, people could do anything when they were about to starve to death, and the barbarians would not dare to go south just because Beijun had howitzers.

Lu Chen sighed and said, "Hurry up and recruit soldiers."

Hearing this, Mu Changtian still said with some concern, "Your Majesty, in such a short time, it would be very difficult to train the recruits to fight against the barbarian cavalry."

Mu Changtian's words were a bit conservative. It was impossible to train the soldiers to fight against the barbarian cavalry within two months.

Lu Chen naturally understood this truth, and he immediately said: "I plan to create an artillery battalion. The newly recruited soldiers will not participate in the frontal combat. At that time, all 30,000 soldiers in Beijun can enter the frontal battlefield."

Artillery battalion?

What is that?

Everyone was confused when they heard the new term from Lu Chen. They had never heard of an artillery battalion.

Lu Chen looked at Li Rui and said: "Li County Governor, I'm sorry to trouble you with this matter. You have to cooperate with General Li and others to recruit 10,000 new soldiers as soon as possible."

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Li Rui immediately said: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Li Rui sighed in his heart. He originally wanted to persuade the King of the North to retreat south, but from the tone of the King of the North, others had no idea of ​​retreating south at all.

If he proposed to retreat south at this time, wouldn't he offend the King of the North?

Li Rui couldn't help but think, what's the use of recruiting 10,000 more soldiers, let alone 10,000 soldiers, even if he recruited 100,000 more new soldiers, he couldn't stop the barbarian cavalry.

Although he thought so in his heart, Li Rui did not dare to say it directly. After all, the King of the North was a vassal king, and he was the master of the North County.

Lu Chen looked at the map on the table and said, "After the artillery battalion is formed, I will show you the new weapons of the King of the North's Mansion."

Hearing this, everyone became more curious. The King of the North seemed to be very confident in the new weapons he mentioned. I don't know what kind of new weapons gave the King of the North the courage to fight the barbarian army in Yancheng.

Although curious, they did not continue to ask. The King of the North had already said that he would show them, so the main task now was to recruit soldiers and form a new army as soon as possible.

...

The Northland, the Barbarian King's Court.

On the endless grassland, there are large and small felt tents, that is, yurts.

The larger the yurt is in the middle, the larger the area is. The largest yurt is where one of the barbarian kings lives.

The barbarians are widely distributed on the grassland, with a total of seven kings. The one located in the north of Beijun is the Heavenly Wolf King, who is preparing to attack Beijun and establish a country in Beijun.

At this time, a woman wearing animal skins rode a horse to the middle of the yurt community.

The woman had fair skin and a beautiful and delicate face, and she didn't look like she lived on the grassland at all.

After she got off the horse, she immediately asked her slave, "Is Wu Yuan back?"

The slave with a carved face who was holding the horse beside her immediately replied, "He's back, Your Highness."

Hearing this, the woman immediately rushed to the smaller yurt next to the big yurt excitedly, and after lifting the curtain, she found that the man she had just been talking about was back.

At this time, the man named Wu Yuan was kneeling on the ground, reporting some information to a beautiful woman.

Inside the yurt, a gorgeous woman was half lying on the bed, revealing her long white legs. She was wearing gorgeous fur clothes and golden ornaments all over her body. She looked very charming and seductive.

She was the most important woman in the barbarian branch of the Heavenly Wolf King, and the princess of the previous Heavenly Wolf King.

According to the customs of the barbarians, after the death of the previous Heavenly Wolf King, she would marry the current Heavenly Wolf King.

But for some reason, she had not married, but she had promised the current Heavenly Wolf King that if he could conquer the North County and establish a country in the North County, she would marry him and become his princess.

At this time, the woman who entered the tent saluted and said, "Meet the princess."

Although the beautiful woman in front of her had not yet married the current Heavenly Wolf King, everyone recognized her as the princess.

Yelu Nanyan glanced at Xiao Wenyao, then said softly: "Get up."

Yelu Nanyan's voice was so gentle that it made people feel like they were bathing in the spring breeze.

Xiao Wenyao, the woman who entered the tent, was the daughter of the current Sirius King Xiao Hongbo. Originally, they had no surname.

But in order to learn from Daxia, all the people in the Sirius King tribe now have surnames, and the royal family of the Sirius King has the surname Xiao.

The name Xiao Wenyao was also given to her by Princess Yelu Nanyan not long ago.

Yelu Nanyan's attention returned to the man in front of her again, and she asked: "I heard that the vassal king of Beijun is a lustful man who has fun in the palace all day long. Since he went to Beijun, he has never intervened in the affairs of Beijun. I wonder if it is true?"

Wu Yuan said: "Reply to Princess, it is true."

Hearing the man's answer, Yelu Nanyan smiled, "So, this time the king is going south, Beijun is already within reach?"

Wu Yuan reminded: "Princess, although the King of Beijun He is just a waste, but the army of Daxia will not sit idly by. Once the king sends troops, Daxia will definitely send a large army to the north. "

Yelü Nanyan said lightly: "When the Daxia army arrives, the king has already established a firm foothold in Beijun, and Daxia will be in civil strife. Emperor Xia will not have so much energy to take care of us."

At this time, Xiao Wenyao on the side interrupted and said: "Princess, if we can capture the King of Bei after conquering Beijun, can you hand him over to me? I heard that the King of Bei is handsome and I want him to be my slave. "
