Chapter 38: Raid on Valley City
The soldiers passing by, as well as the cavalry who followed General Wang, all witnessed Ren Wu's feat of holding up a cauldron with one hand.
My blood was boiling and my heart was fascinated.
"Spiritual brave!" "Spiritual brave!" "Spiritual brave!"
The tide of cry spreads from the military camp gate.
Looking at Ren Wu's figure holding the tripod with one hand, Wang Feihu couldn't help but sigh: "It's really brave."
Wang Feihu is a battlefield-making general with a long history. His knowledge is very comparable.
He knew very well how terrifying a warrior with such strength would be if he had a matching superb skill.
He had seen such a person from afar. At that time, Min Kingdom had not unified the Central Plains, but when he joined the army, the competition for the overlord of the Central Plains was coming to an end.
At that time, as a partial general, he was just an inconspicuous young general in the millions of troops.
But he was fortunate to see the peak battle that he was fascinated by.
Under Tianmen Pass, the red color seemed like fire.
The square sky and all the halberds defeated all the heroes in the world.
The two armies killed 16 generals in a row, and the generals were so scared that they were no longer afraid to go out.
However, when manpower is finally exhausted, although he was crowned the world's number one god general, the situation in the Eastern Kingdom is already out.
The suspicion of the Eastern King was besieged by Tianmen Pass for two months. The ammunition and food were exhausted in the pass. Finally, the city gate was opened and the cavalry rushed into the millions of troops and died.
What impressed Wang Feihu the most was that the fiery red figure had led the cavalry out of the siege, but finally killed him again and died in exhaustion.
At that time, Wang Feihu didn't understand why he wanted to kill him back.
Putting down the four-legged tripod, Ren Wu nodded to Wang Feihu, and then left the military camp gate with Wei Yu.
The blacksmith shop in the border area is open almost all year round. It is said to be a blacksmith shop, but it is a very large courtyard. When you walk in, you hear the sound of irons inside.
A flat-panel trolley frame was parked in the yard, and some strong apprentices carried the iron ore from the frame into the warehouse.
"General Wei, you are here." The person in charge of the blacksmith shop saw Wei Yu and walked forward.
"The weapon you asked us to customize has been built and is placed in the backyard." The person in charge looked at Ren Wu without any trace. Was this weapon built for this person?
They were all very shocked the first time they received this order.
Create a horse spear of 140 kilograms?
They almost thought it was Xian Yu who was joking with them.
Who can use such heavy weapons?
This is not as simple as lifting it up. Weapons need to be used on the battlefield, but they will take a long time to use and will consume a lot of energy.
"Let's go, I'll take you to see." Xian Yu walked in front. He came to the blacksmith shop more than once, and was very familiar with the road here.
In the backyard of the blacksmith shop, several well-made weapons are placed on an iron weapon stand.
But the most conspicuous thing is a horse lance in the central area.
It is nearly three meters long, and the length of the spear tip is nearly one meter, and the width of the spear tip is much wider than that of an ordinary horse spear, which is definitely a heavy weapon.
According to Ren Wu's requirements, the horse lance did not carve complex and cumbersome patterns, but a layer of fine fish scale patterns was used to prevent slippage in the area where the gun rod was held.
Ren Wu walked up, lifted the horse spear with one hand, flipped the horse spear with his wrist and smashed it down.
call out--
The sound of breaking through the air came, and the spear tip was half a centimeter away from the ground hovering steadily in the air. The spear tip was very stable throughout the whole process, without any shaking.
This is about lifting weight easily.
The head of the blacksmith shop was stunned. The 142-pound horse spear could be used so easily.
Could it be that this horse spear was secretly replaced last night?
"It's okay." Ren Wu nodded.
This horse spear might be easier if it was placed a month ago, but this month's practice of the Five Internal Lights Technique has increased his strength a little...
Ren Wu was helpless, so he couldn't say that he was slighted to Wei Yu again.
But perhaps this is also a happy worry.
He found a piece of white cloth to wrap the horse spear. Xianyu asked Ren Wu if he wanted to name the weapon. Ren Wu shook his head, but he was too lazy to take it.
Xian Yu was not tired, and was excited to think of a lot of names for Ren Wu to choose.
Ren Wu felt it was troublesome, so he chose the shortest name and called Pocheng Lie.
"By the way, you have prepared for it recently, there may be a war." Returning to the general's mansion, Wei Yu said to Ren Wu.
"General Wang Feihu had always guarded the southern border before. This time he moved to the border north, there would definitely be big moves. I will give you a chance to perform at that time. You must prove yourself well. After all, the Ministry of War and His Majesty only look at the results of the battle." Xian Yu said seriously.
Ren Wu nodded.
As for why Wei Yu took care of him so much, Wei Yu had told him privately long ago.
Because he was Ren Wu's recommendation, Ren Wu agreed that he belonged to their faction. In addition, he was the leader, so he would naturally have his contribution to Ren Wu.
Xian Yu explained all this frankly.
Ren Wu also felt relieved. If he helped him without asking for rewards for no reason, he would be worried.
...
"According to the intelligence, Yinting sent 50,000 cavalry to attack Jiaxing City five days ago, but failed. Instead, he was led by the defender Huang Shouyi to attack the Yinting Army at night." In the General's Office's meeting room, Xian Yu read out the information.
"It's not surprising that it's Huang Shouyi. Although this old man is greedy for money and lust, his ability to command troops is first-class." Wang Feihu narrowed his eyes slightly. "He had the opportunity to enter the cabinet to support his old age, but unfortunately he was exiled to the border after committing a crime."
"General Wang, in this battle, Your Majesty ordered me to lead Beihe Pass alone, and ordered the prefect of Chongzhou Xun Yi to assist me and ensure logistics and food. However, Xun Yi has always been indecisive, so before I came to take office, I had visited Xun Yi privately. He agreed to send 50,000 troops from the prefectures to support him, and at the same time brought 800,000 stones of food."
Eighty-hundred thousand stones of grain are about enough to eat 100,000 soldiers and horses for half a year. There were originally 50,000 defenders in Beihe Pass, plus Wang Feihu's 10,000 cavalry and 50,000 state prefecture soldiers, and the war horses also need food supplements, so it is only enough to eat about four months. With some surplus grains stored in Beihe Pass, it is no problem to eat grain for half a year.
Wei Tongming, that is, Wei Yu's uncle, was stunned. Why didn't he know that there were still 50,000 soldiers in Beihe Pass?
"The 50,000 soldiers in the palace should be on the road, and they will arrive in about two days." Xianyu looked around the generals in the hall and paused: "When the soldiers in the palace come, I will take the initiative to attack Gucheng for a long distance."
Wang Feihu glared at his eyes, "Are you crazy? Gucheng is Yinting's granary, but Gucheng is in their hinterland, more than 500 miles away from us. You are crazy! If the rear path is cut off, we will all be eaten by Yinting."
