my brother champion

Chapter 177 New Weapon!The fabled Borderlands made grenade
When the explosive package ammunition was blasted out, a terrifying air wave came from the ten thunder cannons.

a time.

There is a feeling of flying sand and rocks.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty stood up straight and was not swept away by the air wave, but he also ignored the beauties around him.

The fine flying sand dust slapped on the face!

The pain is a trivial matter, the key is that it makes people unable to keep their eyes open.

at this time!

Mrs. Li on the side suffered a disaster.

Her body was weak, and when the air wave hit her, she staggered and staggered. She managed to stand still, but she still had time to speak.

The roaring sound like thunder falling to the ground, as if exploding in her ears, made her deaf for a while.

But that's not the main thing.

The main thing is that after the thunder stopped, the second wave of air from the explosion was more ferocious than before, directly knocking Mrs. Li to the ground, no longer the noble atmosphere before.

After the air wave passed and the dust dissipated, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty saw the beauty around him being blown to the ground, and immediately pulled her up, saying, "Why is Ai Ji lying on the ground?"

Questions about Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

At this moment, Mrs. Li's ears were roaring, and she couldn't hear what Emperor Wu of the Han said at all. After being pulled up by Emperor Wu of the Han, she immediately shook her head and said, "Forgive me, Your Majesty, the thunder was loud during the day just now, and it made a huge noise. The concubine can't hear, I don't know what you are talking about!"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was not temporarily deaf. Hearing Mrs. Li's words, he immediately said: "What kind of thunder is it? The sound just now was the power of the flying thunder cannon. It's so powerful!"

"Hahaha."

"Huo Guang, this kid, didn't lie to me, he can always come up with some new tricks for me!"

As the hero of a generation, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was not only not frightened by the explosion just now.

Instead, he was excited because of the power of the Feilei Cannon.

Mrs. Li at the side saw that His Majesty was smiling and talking non-stop, but she couldn't hear what was said, and she felt a little impatient, so she said loudly: "What are you saying, Your Majesty, the concubine can't hear it!"

Mrs. Li, who was originally beautiful, suddenly felt a little unkempt after being blown by the wind and sand rolled up by the air waves.

now.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty saw that she couldn't hear him, so he immediately ordered the Yulin army to take Mrs. Li down to ask the medical workers what happened.

And Liu Che himself stayed to inspect the Feilei Cannon.

The palm of his hand lightly touched the cannon body of the Feilei cannon, and there was still residual heat on it after firing the cannon.

Fortunately, only one shot was fired from each gun.

Otherwise, if you touch the cannon barrel with your hand at this moment, you may be scalded and blistered.

"Good thing, come here, pass my order, let the infantry and civilian husbands, quickly transport these ten flying thunder cannons to the front line, and make sure to arrive before the general Wei Qing finds the Huns cavalry, without delay!" Emperor Wu of the Han directly ordered.

After the soldiers of the Habayashi Army heard His Majesty's order, they immediately followed the order.

soon.

The ten flying thunder cannons were transported away.

Looking at the traces of the bombing of the Feilei Cannon, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was full of praise for its power.

At this time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che said to the guard Jin Rixun who followed him: "Go to Sima Tan's house and tell him how to go to the observatory to see the stars!"

Jin Ridun, the former prince of the Huns, immediately said to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: "No."

After a reply.

Jin Rixun went to talk to Sima, Taishi Ling.

At night, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty waited for Sima, the commander of the Taishi, to talk about the results of the night sky observation on the stargazing platform.

As for who is Sima Tan?

He is the father of Sima Qian. He has profound knowledge. He is known as "learning from the heavenly officials in the capital of Tang Dynasty, receiving Yi Yang He, and learning Taoism from Huang Zi". His talent and learning are far above his son Sima Qian.

But why is Sima Qian not famous?

Because Sima Qian wrote "Historical Records" which is "the swan song of historians, the Lisao without rhyme"!
But the reason why Sima Qian wrote "Historical Records" was just to inherit his father's last wish.

Sima talked about his relationship with "Historical Records", just like Gao E did with "Dream of Red Mansions".The world only knows that "A Dream of Red Mansions" was written by Cao Xueqin, but they don't know that it will be continued by Gao E in the next forty chapters.

But it is different from Gao E.

Gao E continued to write Cao Xueqin's "Dream of Red Mansions", while Sima Tan first wrote "Historical Records", which was completed by his son Sima Qian.

At this moment, Sima Tan was sitting on the observatory, looking up at the starry sky.

In an instant.

He suddenly said with great joy: "Your Majesty, a sign of great auspiciousness, a sign of great auspiciousness."

"Look!"

"Among the five stars in the sky, if they are accumulated in the east, China will benefit; if they are accumulated in the west, those who use them abroad will benefit. The five stars are all gathered in one house from the stars, and the country of the house can reach the world."

The five stars are the so-called Taibai, Suixing, Chenxing, Yinghuo, and Zhenxing in the pre-Qin period.

don't understand?
Then take it as the often said Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, Mars, and Saturn.

And what Sima Tan said.

In fact, it is very similar to a saying passed down by word of mouth in later generations, which is called "five stars come out of the east and benefit China"!
But this sentence is incomplete.

Complete yes!

The five stars come out of the east to benefit China to fight against the Southern Qiang, the four barbarians conquer, Shan Yujiang, and the sky is boundless!

It is not appropriate to use it in the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, because it is a phrase used by Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty to improve the morale of the army.

During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, it was the sentence that Sima Tan just said was correct.

and!

That sentence was also recorded in the book "Historical Records" by Sima Qian.

So the provenance is beyond doubt.

As for the word "China", it is not what we know in the broad sense now, but it refers to the country of the Central Plains, that is to say, the current Han Dynasty!

at this time.

Hearing Sima talk about auspicious omens, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was immediately very excited.

Although he couldn't understand the sky, but thinking of the power of today's flying thunder cannon, he believed Sima's words.

then.

He couldn't help sighing: "Five stars gathered in one house means that it is God's will for me to send troops to attack the Huns, and I will surely win!"

"The will of God cannot be violated."

"Hahaha!"

On the Mobei wasteland, the army led by Wei Qing is advancing with difficulty.

The battle between the Han Dynasty and the Huns was planned by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty for a long time.

As a great general, Wei Qing naturally knew that he must not make mistakes in this battle, and he must not return without success.

just.

Since coming to the land of Mobei where the Huns lived.

The group of people did not see the shadow of the Huns at all, not even the herdsmen, let alone the Huns cavalry.

no way.

At this time, the Han Dynasty dispatched troops with great momentum, if there were only [-] cavalry divided into two teams.

The Huns may not be afraid yet.

The main thing is.

Behind the [-] cavalry, followed by more than [-] infantry, and countless civilians who helped deliver supplies.

On this endless grassland.

Infantry is naturally inferior to cavalry.

But there is no doubt that the combat effectiveness of infantry cannot be ignored, especially this is the infantry of the Han Dynasty.

at any time.

When infantry meets cavalry, it is unilaterally slaughtered.

But the infantry of the Han Dynasty was different.

The infantry of the Han Dynasty was able to fight head-to-head with the powerful Huns cavalry.

The cavalry of the Huns simply didn't know how to cooperate or how to fight tactics.Only the elite cavalry led by Wei Qing couldn't beat them, and there were more than [-] infantry and civilian husbands behind them.

It's no wonder if you don't run far away!
On the way, Huo Guang rode forward with the great general.

I don't know if it's out of boredom or to pass the time.While the two were riding, the general Wei Qing suddenly asked, "Lieutenant Huo, what do you think of this general taking Li Guangzhi away?"

Huo Guang didn't want to mention this matter.

See Wei Qing asked.

Huo Guang then said: "Based on my understanding of the general, I should not have done such a thing. So I dare to guess, this should be His Majesty's order, out of consideration for General Li Guang's old age, I am afraid that he will make a mistake?"

Wei Qing glanced at Huo Guang, then nodded and said: "You are smart, but this is only one of them, there are two other reasons to consider!"

Huo Guang tilted his head slightly, and said, "I would like to hear the details."

Wei Qing said just now: "One of them is that as you said, old general Li Guang is old, and this war against the Huns is of great importance, and there is no room for loss."

"Secondly, the old general has gone through three dynasties and shed a lot of blood to fight against the Huns. Your Majesty does not want to see the old general die under the sword of the Huns at an octogenarian age."

"Thirdly, our army went to Mobei with exhausted boats and vehicles. The journey was arduous, and the soldiers were exhausted. The cavalry of the Huns waited for work. If they ambushed our army in front, the situation would be very passive. At this time, if the old general can attack from the flank It will be more useful to make a detour than him becoming a striker!"

After hearing the three reasons given by the general, Huo Guang's heart moved slightly.

The first two reasons?
I'm afraid it wasn't the meaning of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. The latter reason is probably the general's idea.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che said that he cared for General Li Guang, but it was not.

In the early years, Li Guang was on the wrong team. Could it be that His Majesty really forgot about this?

actually not!

Otherwise, even the three brothers of the Wei family can be enshrined as infancy, and if His Majesty wants to enshrine Li Guang, wouldn't that be a matter of one sentence?
Although the Han Dynasty was said to be a prince based on military merits, this is Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.He made a marquis, but he was able to make an exception for civil servants who had no military merits.

Not to mention Li Guang!
The army has been driving directly in Mobei for two days and two nights, and they can already see that there are many corpses of cattle and sheep thrown by the Huns to die of illness in the stream here.

see these.

Huo Guang quickly said to Wei Qing: "General, look, the Huns have already thrown the plagued cattle and sheep into the stream here. Fortunately, the soldiers didn't drink the stream on the road before, otherwise they might get sick! "

Wei Qing nodded, then got off his horse and walked to the side of the stream to watch.

The rotting corpse wafted into the air with an unpleasant stench.

to be frank.

If it wasn't for the general passing by, Huo Guang wouldn't want to get any closer, he just wanted to stay away from it.

But Wei Qing beckoned to Huo Guang at this moment: "Captain Huo, come here."

"promise!"

Huo Guang could only hold his nose and walked over at this moment.

Wait until you get close.

Huo Guang asked, "Did the General find anything?"

"There are some discoveries!" After Wei Qing nodded, he stirred the corpse of the cow and sheep with the branch he picked up, and said, "Look at this dead sheep, the degree of decay is not serious, which means that it was just a few days ago. It was deliberately put here by the Huns!"

Hearing Wei Qing's words, Huo Guang frowned and asked, "What does the general mean, that if we walk forward for a few more days, is it possible that we will encounter these Hun cavalry?"

The general shook his head and said, "The armies on both sides are advancing, the Hun cavalry are just fleeing, and our Han army doesn't know the direction. I'm afraid we won't meet them in a few days."

"I'm just afraid of what happens, when the boat and the car are exhausted."

"The Huns deliberately set up an ambush in front. If our army doesn't know it and plunges into the ambush of the Huns, I'm afraid we will suffer heavy losses!"

Huo Guang nodded in agreement with the general's words.

Soldiers who, deception also!
Although the Huns are not as good as the Han in terms of military use, the opponent is not a fool, so it is hard to guarantee that they will not deliberately set up an ambush in front.

marching to fight.

It's not child's play.

If you are not more vigilant, I am afraid that the ship will really capsize in the gutter.

After thinking about it for a while, Huo Guang said: "The general is right, but the subordinates are ignorant, and I don't know how to deal with this situation, so I hope the general will give instructions?"

Wei Qing said calmly: "In this situation, there is no good way to deal with it. The army still has to move on. We can only increase the number of horse scouting soldiers ahead, and at the same time, slightly slow down the marching speed!"

Huo Guang nodded and said, "Understood, General, I'll go and order people to do it."

"Ah."

Wei Qing nodded and snorted.

After seeing General Wei Qing agreed.

Without saying a word, Huo Guang fled here quickly.

The stench of rotting corpses was really unpleasant.Intoxicated by that smell, Huo Guang felt that his brain almost stopped thinking.

I don't know how Uncle Wei Qing turned a blind eye and stayed there to study the problem normally.

After adjusting his armor, Huo Guang got on his horse again, and said to the marching soldiers: "The general has an order, slow down the marching speed, increase the number of spies, and go ahead to search for information!"

"You pass on my words one by one."

"Don't make a mistake."

"."

As a result, the marching speed of the Wei Qing Army slowed down again.

And within two days of this slowdown.

The rear was used to ensure the supply of supplies to the infantry and civilians, and a batch of good things was rushed up.

Arguably.

After this batch of supplies arrived, General Wei Qing should be notified first.

However, the infantry who carried the goods told Huo Guang first, and said, "Captain Huo, this is the goods that His Majesty rushed over from Chang'an. Countless horses have been exhausted and paralyzed for this, and finally delivered today. In your hands!"

Huo Guang frowned and asked, "Why did you notify me first instead of the general?"

The man scratched his head quickly, not knowing how to reply, and said: "The above only said to hand it over to you, not to the general!"

Huo Guang didn't know what was in the wooden box at this time. Hearing this, he could only frown and said, "Then what's in it? Food or weapons? Or armor? Open it for me to see!"

"promise."

The infantry is only responsible for obeying the arrangements above, so naturally they don't know what's inside.

After hearing Huo Guang's words.

He opened the wooden box and looked into his eyes, a box full of iron bumps, all tied to a short wooden stick.

The person in charge of transportation had never seen this before, and immediately asked: "Look, they are all these things, and I don't know what they are for."

But at the moment.

Huo Guang's eyes had already burst into a bright light.

No one else knows this stuff!

But he must know it.

This is similar to the hand grenade made in the border area. It is very primitive and crude. Its design was also handed over by Huo Guangyi to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che.

now!

It was finally built and shipped.
