The First Happy King of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 443 One Heart?
The power of black powder is much lower than that of real explosives, both in terms of explosive power and endurance, and when Li Muyun got this brand, it was completely on the spur of the moment, and he didn't have much gunpowder left on hand.

In addition, Dadu was riding on a horse, and most of the impact force of the explosion was borne by the horse. In the end, he was just blown away by the shock wave, fell to the ground and broke a leg, and was stunned. .

But this is enough, after such a thing, Dadu set completely lost the will to attack!Although the hatred in his heart did not diminish, his guts were already frightened.

This battle was the first time that gunpowder was used in battle. No one knew what was going on. The Xue Yantuo soldiers at the bottom were already discussing whether Changshengtian didn't want them to attack Datang, so they used this method to fight warn and punish them.

Rumors spread throughout the camp like a plague. At the beginning, some people said that this attack was against the will of God. Two days later, other versions began to emerge. Du Set was punished by the gods for his many unrighteous deeds, and the targets of various rumors gradually all pointed to Da Du Set.

But at this time, Dadu set couldn't take care of these things, under repeated blows, Xue Yantuo Xin Khan, who often tried hard to encourage himself, fell ill completely, with persistent high fever and unconsciousness!
The two brothers Tizhen Dawen and Tizhen Dawu can be regarded as his confidantes, but they also lost their opinions when rumors filled the sky.

It was obviously impossible to continue the attack. One or two of the soldiers below had already lost their fighting spirit. Even if they forcibly marched to Nizhou, it is estimated that a few thousand Tang troops would come and beat them to pieces.

But waiting here is not a long-term solution. Judging from the ambush this time, the Tang army is obviously already prepared. After a long delay, when the Tang army's reinforcements arrive, the whole army will still be wiped out.

After much deliberation, the only solution for the present seems to be to go back and make a long-term plan until Dadu's injury is healed, or... Forget it, let's not think so much.

……

Su Lie and others won the ambush this time, and the spies who stayed behind caught up in no time, and reported to Lao Su and others the news that the life and death of those who were bombed were unknown. For a moment, everyone in the team cheered up, and Li Muyun proudly hummed a little tune that no one could understand.

Su Lie and the others calmed down a bit from the excitement before slowly saying: "The success this time is entirely a fluke. If it wasn't for the terrain and Dadu's eagerness for success, it probably wouldn't be successful at all."

"No!" Everyone who participated in the ambush responded in unison.

"So we still have to rush back to Shuozhou as soon as possible. Although the Xue Yantuo people are likely to withdraw after this lesson, we still have to take precautions before we get accurate information."

"Don't worry, general, we'll take care of it!" The dandy group of four answered very loudly, apparently still not recovering from their excitement.

Usually at home, I always listen to my old man bragging about what kind of battles they fought. This time they finally went to the battlefield for real.

On the contrary, Li Muyun was full of worries and unhappy along the way, which aroused Su Lie's curiosity. After sending everyone back to his barracks, he rode up to his side and asked, "Why, are you worried? Or are you not satisfied with the results of the battle?"

"We're afraid that we're in trouble, and this time I, the Duke of Xiaoyao, will be beaten to the end again!" Li Muyun said with a sigh.

"How do you know?" Su Lie asked with a frown.

"A few days ago, the people who came to deliver things from Shuozhou brought news that His Majesty was lucky enough to visit Taiyuan Mansion, but because a war is about to happen, I haven't said anything yet."

Su Lie was so frightened by the news that Li Muyun said that he almost fell off his horse: "What? You, you are too courageous. You, have you sent someone back to notify Xue Yantuo of the crime?"

Li Muyun spread his hands: "What should I say? Didn't you say that the Xue Yantuo people may also scare us. Maybe they just went to the border of Shuozhou and left. If I send someone to inform Your Majesty at this time, Xue Yantuo will If people don't come, it's not deceiving the king."

"Then, then you should tell me anyway, you..., you are really going to kill the big guy this time!" Su Lie was almost turned upside down by Li Muyun's anger. So tight, I didn't say it until now.

Li Muyun was baffled by Su Lie's scolding: "What killed him? According to His Majesty's speed, he probably hasn't even left the capital at this time. What's so scary?"

Su Lie was speechless looking at Li Muyun who was panting, and suddenly realized that this little thief was so unpopular, and it seemed like a good idea for the emperor to slap him to the end.

In this way, all the people went back to Shuozhou where they had been away for four months without talking. On the one hand, they sent people out to inquire about the news of the Xue Yantuo people, and on the other hand, they urgently sent messengers to inform all parties about the news that the Xue Yantuo people had committed crimes.After all, a battle has already been fought outside, and talking about Xue Yantuo's invasion at this time is no longer a false report of military intelligence.

Shuozhou had already received the news from Li Muyun and Su Lie a few days ago, and it was already prepared. A large amount of supplies for the defense of the city began to be transported to the first city gate. Large stones and thick tree trunks almost filled the entire city. A concrete official road leading to Chengguan.

Li Muyun was very surprised by this situation. In his early years, he experienced Turkic invasion. At that time, let alone [-] Turkic people, even if there were [-], the people in Shuozhou would pack up all their belongings and flee.

But now, knowing that there are [-] Xueyantuo people who came to kill aggressively under the banner of massacring the city, but none of them escaped. Is it because Xueyantuo people are easier to bully?

But when he said this idea, Sun Liang, who was in charge of material delivery, immediately greeted him and retorted: "My lord, you only know one thing and don't know the other. Back then we fled because we were poor, and our family didn't have any wealth at all. But look at it now, even the poorest people have a pig, a dozen chickens and ducks at home, these things can't be taken away, if you don't want to give them up, you can only do your best!"

Fang Yi sat on the side and nodded in agreement, and added by the way: "Yes, the businessmen in Shuozhou are the same. They finally found business opportunities. It is the time to make a lot of money. At this time, withdrawing the previous investment will be wasted. And they're doing it to keep their money, their investment."

"It turned out to be like this?" Li Muyun touched his nose in embarrassment, and said awkwardly, "I thought it was because I had more appeal, how dare these bastards are all for my own money?"
