Chapter 374 A Violent Storm Is About to Rise

Jincheng.

The atmosphere here today is somewhat solemn.

The entire streets of Jincheng were filled with Beidi soldiers.

They stared at the pedestrians coming and going, as if if they made any movement, they would immediately pounce on them and kill them.

While the pedestrians were trembling, orders were suddenly heard from the city gate.

Then Beidi soldiers moved into action and drove all the pedestrians on the road to both sides of the road.

Not long after, a large number of Beidi cavalry entered from the north gate.

Among them, the Iron Wood Tower is at the forefront.

And in the center of the cavalry behind Ironwood Tower is Khan Muller Hongzhen.

"Father Khan, you came at the right time. Just two days ago, our artillery in Beidi was successful." Ulanba had been waiting at the city gate for a long time.

When he saw his father, he immediately came over.

After he and Ivan tested the artillery that day, he sent someone to send the news to the Khan Court.

But I didn't expect to encounter Khan's and Jincheng's teams halfway.

"Hahaha, Ulanba, my good son, you have done a great thing for Beidi." Mule Hongzhen had an uncontrollable smile on his face.

Since the defeat of Yanguan, this artillery has become his heartache.

Having seen the power of artillery with his own eyes, he knew very well that without artillery in Beidi, he would never be able to break through the Yan Pass guarded by King Yan.

So after Ulanba got Ivan, he was very excited and wanted Ivan to help Beidi develop artillery at all costs.

A few days ago, he thought that summer was coming, and soon would be autumn.

It is another autumn season, suitable for war.

At the same time, the northwest of Dasong fell into the hands of Xiliang due to Ma Jin's rebellion.

Xiliang is a subject of Beidi, which is equivalent to praising the northwest for Beidi, which is undoubtedly very beneficial to his plan to go south.

So, he became interested and came to Jincheng to see how the artillery was being built.

For him, the only thing missing right now was artillery.

Once all these things are in place, Beidi will no longer have any scruples, and Dasong will be Beidi's only remaining goal.

"Thank you for the compliment, Father Khan." Ulanba showed a proud look on his face.

Mulehon nodded, "Where is the artillery? Why don't you take me to see it?"

Ulanba immediately pointed outside the city, "Father, the artillery is so powerful that it cannot be tested in the city. It is currently in a school field outside the city."

After that, he got on his horse and led everyone towards the east gate of the city.

In less than half an hour, Mule Hongzhen and others arrived in front of a hill.

In the open space in front of the hill is a green cannon.

"Is this an artillery piece?" Muller Hongzhen dismounted and gently stroked the heavy barrel of the artillery piece, unable to conceal his excitement on his face.

Temuta followed Mulhunzhen, although he and his younger brother secretly competed for the throne.

But at this moment, he loved his brother.

With artillery, Beidi will be even more powerful.

Both King Yan and the enemies in the far north will crawl at Beidi's feet.

"Let me see if it has the power of the artillery at Yanguan City." Muller Hongzhen suddenly turned his head and said to Ulanba.

Nodding, Ulanba called three soldiers and ordered them to load and shoot in the order taught by Ivan.

"Father, please cover your ears." Ulanba said.

Mulehon had actually heard the loud noise of the artillery and covered his ears in obedience.

But Tiemu Pagoda stubbornly did not make any move.

"boom……"

Ulanba didn't care about others and made the soldiers light the fuse.

With a loud noise, the ground seemed to be shaking, and a black cannonball flew out and hit the hill, raising a cloud of smoke.

The loud noise frightened the horses and caused them to run around.

Mulehon really ignored the mess of horses, and a fanatical light burst out in his eyes.

"Yes, this is artillery. That's what King Yan's artillery is." Mule Hongzhen couldn't help but raise his voice a bit.

Turning to Ulanba, he said: "How many cannons can be built in a day now?"

"This?" Ulanba was a little embarrassed when he heard this.

"What's wrong? Are there not enough craftsmen? I will send them to you from other royal accounts. If not, I can also send them to you from Goryeo." Muller Hongzhen said.

Ubalan said: "Father, the problem is not about the craftsmen, but about the copper. This kind of artillery is a bronze cannon and requires a lot of copper coins."

Mule Hongzhen frowned, no wonder Ulanba stuttered so much.

After thinking about it, he said to Tiemuta: "Immediately send people to each royal tent and ask them to send all the copper items to Jincheng. Then send people to Xiliang and Gaoli to ask for copper from them."

"Yes, Father Khan." Temuta left in response.

Mule Hongzhen looked at Ulanba again at this time, "This little copper is nothing. As long as we can destroy Dasong, we can have as much copper as we need in Beidi. Now, you only need to step up the construction of artillery. In autumn, I want Give Dasong a surprise.”

"Father Khan wants to go south to attack Song?" Ulanba sniffed out the hidden meaning.

Mullahon was really noncommittal.

In his opinion, Dasong would not let Qinzhou Yongzhou be occupied by Xiliang.

They are just taking a breather now, but they will definitely attack Ma Jin, fight Xiliang, and recapture Xiao Pass.

Moreover, King Yan is not a stupid person, and he must also be able to see that Xiao Guan is very important.

Just because he had just fought the Battle of Jinzhou, his soldiers were too tired, so they took a temporary rest.

After recovering, he will probably fight with the Great Song Imperial Army.

Therefore, Beidi cannot miss the opportunity of Xiao Guan in Xiliang's hands.

Otherwise, once Dasong takes back Xiaoguan and uses artillery to defend the city, Beidi will pay a heavier price when they go south.

"For Beidi, the chaos in the northwest of Dasong is very beneficial to us. The Xiao family and the Dou family cannot compare with the troops of King Yan, and can even be said to be vulnerable. This time, maybe we can tear a hole in the west and the east at the same time. Even if one of them fails, as long as there is a hole, it will be fine." Mule Hongzhen looked towards Dasong.

He thought that time was tight and he couldn't wait until next year.

He must try again in the fall of this year.

"My child understands. We must make enough artillery before the fall comes." Ulanba said.

It will only be March or April from now to fall.

But as long as there is enough copper, he has enough craftsmen to rush the work.

Mule Hongzhen gently stroked Ulanba's head.

This time, his order to Enke was just to contain King Yan, try to make trouble for King Yan, and slow down the recovery of King Yan's troops.

Next, he will also order the two kings of Ningjindusi to harass Yanguan.

In autumn, he will unexpectedly concentrate part of his forces in the northwest of Dasong, and launch wars in the east and west of Dasong at the same time.

"I know you won't let me down." Muller Hongzhen looked at the green artillery in front of him again, and great confidence rose in his heart.

With the artillery, he was even confident that he could take Yanguan.

But for him, there was no need to sacrifice soldiers in Yanguan in vain.

Of course, the softest persimmons should be picked first.
