Shimonoseki is the throat that connects Kyushu to the main island, and if you want to get to the main island from Kyushu, you must pass through Shimonoseki, otherwise you will have to swim.

Yun Xiao didn't plan to swim over, so he could only attack Xiaguan. The situation in Jiangnan is unknown, and Yunxiao needs time to subdue Dongying. God knows if the battle situation in Jiangnan will expand. What kind of action will the restless Liu Che in Chang'an make, and sincerely pray that the troubles in Jiangnan can be calmed down as much as possible. Jiangnan accounts for nearly half of the family's income, and I don't dare to go on a business trip.

The guards of the Yun family were like black clouds floating in the sky, pressing down layer by layer. Standing on the hillside, Dayuanjun couldn't help but gasp, he never dreamed that there would be so many Han troops with such strong combat power in the legend.

It has been three days since Dayuanjun arrived in Xiaguan, and he has made a lot of preparations in the past three days. Tactically, and even psychologically. But the number of Yun family guards still surprised him, but at this moment, he could only bite the bullet.

There are many people in this world who can be fooled, but the emperor definitely belongs to the one who cannot be fooled. Dayuan-kun knew this, so he marched to Shimonoseki the day after receiving the reward. Accompanied by 4,000 royal guards. In the hands of these people, all the weapons that generals dream of - the crossbow.

Look at the guards in bronze armor with huge crossbows in hand. Dayuanjun's mood calmed down a little, there was such a battlefield killing weapon. It should not be difficult to defeat those Han armies that are touted as invincible.

"Father, are we really going to fight these people to the death?" Fuso, the eldest son of Dayuan-kun, licked his lips a little nervously. Years of combat experience told him that the army in front of him was an iron-blooded army. It's not easy to curry favor in front of them.

"There is no way, my father promised His Majesty the Emperor. Besides, do you think those guards are really here to support our deployment? I'm afraid that it means more to supervise the war, and since I have come, I can only fight to the end. Our family hopes that we can go back safely, and as long as we win this battle, we can choke Prince Li's neck in the future. ”

Dayuan-kun was still thinking about building a dam. After all, it's about your children and grandchildren.

"Knowing my father, I will fight hard to live up to your expectations. But can we really defeat those people, I heard that their swords can cut our blades with ease, and their armor can perfectly resist our attacks. ”

"Don't worry, my father has made a careful subordinate. Since they are human beings, they cannot escape the fate of being killed. As long as they can kill to death. Dayuan-kun said as if in a dream. His eyes stared at the Han army in the distance.

The army was too oppressive, and the neat ranks showed that they were strictly trained and disciplined. Plus sturdy armor, and sharp weapons. Then they are invincible. Although at the Imperial Council, he scoffed at Prince Li, but Dayuanjun's heart was clear. What Prince Li said was true, and the Han army in front of him was really difficult to deal with. However, since he boasted in front of the emperor, there was also the temptation of profit. Dayuanjun still accepted the emperor's appointment without hesitation, and as long as he kept the lower pass, future generations could have no worries about food and clothing, and become one of the best nobles in Dongying.

Dayuanjun looked at Yun Xiao. Yun Xiao also looked at Dayuanjun in the telescope. On the opposite hillside were a number of deer bars, which seemed to prevent cavalry charges.

However, this arrangement was of little use to Yun Xiao, and the war horse was still crossing the sea with difficulty on the road. For the time being, Yun Xiao is under his command, except for a few heralds and Yun Xiao himself and the Iron Guard. They can only fight on foot, which is very unaccustomed to the Yun family guards who are used to riding horses.

"Master Hou, they have 10,000 people. We also have 5,000 people, and you are here in person. Let the little bear take people to level them, I don't believe that they are much more powerful than that young man. "The Cubs were buoyed by the last victory. It's very belligerent right now. is so arrogant that there is no boundary, and sometimes he doesn't even accept the words of the goshawk. Now only Yun Xiao can suppress this little bear.

"It's different!" Yun Xiao sighed. He lowered his binoculars and glanced at the bear. The bear was too flamboyant, and there seemed to be something wrong with it. What is wrong, Yun Xiao can't seem to say.

"Look at the Dongying soldiers on the other side, they are all wearing bronze heavy armor. The crossbow arrow in his hand is more than half a person high, which shows how powerful the crossbow arrow is, and our iron-tired crossbow does not have the slightest advantage. And. The enemy occupies the uphill slope again. Condescendingly, our range has been shortened a lot.

This battle is not as simple as you think, maybe it will be a bloody battle. You get the brethren ready, and in a moment the three-bow bed crossbow will come up and we will start attacking. ”

Yun Xiao keenly noticed that the soldiers on the other side were not ordinary, and he decisively stopped the planned attack. Waiting for the three-bow bed crossbow to be delivered from the beach. These three-bow bed crossbows were dismantled into parts. When they came across the ocean to Dongying, they were assembled by special craftsmen.

However, due to the lack of horses and the absence of four-wheeled carriages, the assembled three-bed crossbow had to be transported by manpower. The guards got up early, thinking that there would be another bloody battle today. I expected to stand under the sun and wait for a morning, but I didn't wait for the order to attack. The sergeants were a little impatient, and they didn't know what the hell Hou Ye was doing. Isn't there a group of widows on the other side, just rush up and kill them. Why bother with such a complicated situation.

The sun was in the middle of the day, and it was noon. The two armies had been facing each other for a whole morning, and a cauldron had been set up behind the Yun family's military formation. Large bundles of firewood boiled the water and bubbled, and the cooks made the Yun family's traditional wartime ration - dried noodles.

Rolls of somen noodles were poured into the boiling pot, followed by boxes of opened canned beef poured in. Compared with before, there is just a large package of thickened Yun Family's secret spice packets.

The water in the pot almost immediately turned a sauce color, and the rich fragrance drifted down the wind to the position of the Japanese soldiers. The soldiers had never smelled such a meal, and they all felt hungry when they smelled it.

"It smells so good! Father, what are they doing? Why does it smell so good? Fuso swallowed greedily and couldn't help but "gurgle" in his stomach.

Dayuanjun is also strange, it is said that the army's marching food is generally not as good as pig food. But the food of the Han army on the other side was so delicious that I couldn't help but smell it.

"They are trying to break the morale of our army, and they have ordered them to go down and kill a hundred pigs. Let the sergeants have enough to eat, they are all going to the battlefield, and it is still necessary to have a full meal. ”

Dayuanjun also let it go, although a hundred pigs for an army of more than 10,000 people, a person can't get a few pieces of meat. However, it always calms the sergeant's mood. After all, there is a price for making people work hard, and a meal is also a favor. It is the responsibility of every commander of the army to feed the soldiers and soldiers.

There was a strange scene on the battlefield in Shimonoseki, and smoke was steaming from behind the military formations of both sides. The screams of fat pigs could be heard from behind the Japanese army's military formation, and the Yun family's guards were eating in shifts in an orderly manner.

Beef soup with noodles, and the cooks also distributed pickles in canned bottles to the soldiers. The soldiers ate the noodles in the rice bowl with pickles. Snoring and eating, the Japanese soldiers on the other side were even more hungry.

Yun Xiao took the noodles handed over by the iron guard, and there was no special treatment during the Yun family's war. Yun Xiao ate the same as the soldiers, except that there was more beef on the rice bowl. It is covered with a full layer, and you need to peel off the beef to eat the noodles.

Dividing some of the beef from the bowl among the guards, Yun Xiao crunched on the pickles in his mouth. He also raised the telescope from time to time to look at the situation on the other side.

The soldiers looked listless, looking back behind them from time to time. Apparently they were already hungry if a cavalry charged. That would definitely defeat these Japanese soldiers, but Yun Xiao had no cavalry in his hands now. Let the infantry rush forward, and you will definitely be shot by the bows and crossbows of the Japanese soldiers.

"Master Hou, you have to wait for a while to see this three-bow bed crossbow. Are we just sitting there? The goshawk squatted beside Yun Xiao with a rice bowl and sucked and ate.

"Good food is not afraid of being late, they won't be able to keep it for long. As long as the three-bow bed crossbow is pulled over, it is bombarded with gunpowder crossbow. I am not afraid that they will not be defeated, but it is a pity that there are no cavalry, otherwise they will take advantage of the rout to cover up and kill. That's the way to expand the results. ”

"Master Hou is so cautious, those Japanese soldiers are just a little bigger. It is estimated that it can't compare to our iron-tire crossbow, so why bother so much. If we continue to wait like this, I am afraid that we will have to withdraw our troops today. If you fight again, you'll have to wait for tomorrow. ”

"As long as a few fewer people can die, what's the big deal if you wait for a day or two. Don't forget, these old brothers came with us on our expedition. Killing one is a great loss for the Yun family, remember the key to using soldiers, and exchange the smallest loss for the enemy's greatest defeat.

Remember when we were on the banks of the Yellow River? At that time, no one could be compared, and a mere 100 cavalry could defeat 5,000 cavalry. If our family wins a battle like that, if a battle like Lingwu City can not be fought, it is always a good thing to have fewer deaths. ”

Yun Xiao gulped down the noodles, and the canned beef noodles with small pickles were very sweet. Yun Xiao ate two pots before he stopped.

Compared with the orderly order of the Yun family, the Japanese soldiers seemed a little chaotic. The soldiers were insulting each other for an extra piece of meat, and everyone wanted to eat as soon as possible. Because I was afraid that others would eat up all the meat, the hustle and bustle behind the Japanese soldiers' military formation was like a vegetable market.

Dayuanjun never thought that his labor army would end up with such a result.

Tonight, I was dragged by my dad to drink, and everyone understands that the update is late. Don't wait, everyone, there is a second change today. (To be continued......)
