Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 954 Chen Zhi is here!

"You said a hillside collapsed when you said it collapsed? How is this possible?" Murong Huang noticed his father's expression and spoke first without waiting for him to say anything. In fact, he was quite surprised in his heart, "Single-shooting cannons can also do this. Until this point, in terms of destructive power, this stone cannon ranks first, but it will not make much noise, let alone directly collapse a hillside! As for the single-shot cannon, it is certainly very lethal to people. , but it is impossible to cause landslides..."

Facing Murong Huang's question, Murong Ren smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "Everything I said is true. If you don't believe it, you just need to send someone over to investigate. In fact, there is no need for me to rush this matter. I'm afraid it won't happen until I We've just been defeated here, so you've already sent people there, right? Is it possible that there's still no reward until now?"

Murong Xie was a little embarrassed when he said this. In fact, because the tribes surrounding Murong's tribe still had many problems to be solved, when they received the news of Murong Ren's defeat, there was no immediate reaction within Murong's tribe. , but after a while, he sent someone over.

Then came the news of Murong Ren's repeated defeats, which affected an increasingly wider area. Perhaps because of the war, none of the spies who were originally sent a little late came back. Therefore, now, Jicheng City has no idea what to do about it. The specific situation of that battle at that time is very limited.

In the early stage, one could learn something about Murong Ren through his return, but at that time, what was written in the letter was already a bit unbelievable. Everyone just thought that he was trying to shirk responsibility. In the later stage, Murong Ren was defeated one after another, and even his own soldiers were killed. After breaking up, there was naturally no time or way to send out the return letter. I could only simply identify the direction and run towards Murong Jicheng.

Because of this, before they met Murong Huang's men and horses, they were still a little confused at first. They couldn't tell where they were and how far they were from Thorn City. This was actually a loss of direction.

Murong Ren was lost here, and Murong Jicheng was unable to get any specific information. Now that the two sides met, such a comparison immediately revealed a bigger discrepancy.

"what's next?"

Just as the atmosphere became increasingly solemn, Murong Xin asked in a deep voice: "Next, you fled all the way. During this period, you not only replenished tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, but also relied on several small towns to defend and resist, but in the end you were still defeated. What happened during this period?"

"If additional troops and horses are added to the field to fight with the Chen family's troops, fireballs will roll down and thunder will explode on the ground. Neither the cavalry nor the infantry can stand for a long time. Often, dozens of people will be seriously injured as soon as the sound is heard, and the rest will be seriously injured. Scatter!"

Murong Ren took a deep breath. When he said this, the expression on his face was particularly complicated. Then after hearing a brother's inquiry, he shook his head and explained: "It's not a fire stick, but a ball of flames, as big as Fighting, falling from the sky, like stars falling from the sky, that kind of formation is unimaginable unless you have seen it with your own eyes!"

Then he turned to Murong Xuan and continued: "This is not like a single cannon shooting down a fire. It only looks terrifying on the surface. In fact, except for the poisonous mist, it rarely kills many people. When such fire and thunder fall, The casualties were really heavy. Even if they didn't die, their limbs would be disabled, which was even more miserable. The screams and blood-drenched scenes immediately made the soldiers on the battlefield retreat in fear. They didn't dare to fight anymore, so they turned around. flight."

"The formations are all gone, and we have to be slaughtered by others." Murong Xuan sighed in a low tone, then shook his head slightly and asked: "How are those small cities doing now?"

The so-called small towns are actually a nice name. They are actually settlements, which are similar to the villages and towns in the Central Plains. They just have more tents, cattle and sheep, and there are more pastures around them.

During his defeat and escape, Murong Ren hid in several small cities, hoping to rely on the geographical location and population to withstand the pursuit of Chen's troops, but the result was not satisfactory.

"The Chen family's soldiers had almost no scruples. I, like a common herdsman, threatened me and wanted to stop him from doing what he did, but this man had a heart of stone and was unmoved at all. He still fell into the trap without any scruples. Therefore, the two of them were stunned. The small towns were ruined one after another..." Afterwards, his voice became smaller and smaller, and he lowered his head at the same time.

Murong Xin frowned and fell into deep thought after hearing this.

But his brother Murong Yun couldn't help but said: "This man is very determined. I heard that Chen Zhi personally led the attack this time, which means that he cannot use ordinary people as human shields to deal with him. In the future, If there really is a conflict and we attack the cities in the Central Plains, then the old methods will be somewhat ineffective."

As soon as he finished speaking, Murong Huang couldn't help but retorted: "Using the people as a shield to attack a city is not a benevolent and righteous act. Even if it succeeds for a while, it will have a bad reputation. Where will there be Han people in the future?" Come here and join us. Besides, we have suffered this loss before, so we should not advocate this move." After hearing this, Murong Yun smiled slightly, but did not refute. He knew very well that his nephew had studied in the Central Plains after all, and had many opinions and opinions. Murong's original habits were different, and even if he didn't think so in his heart, he would definitely express his position in this way outside. The reason is simple, it is to spread his reputation and win over the Han family scholars.

And this topic was also brought up by Murong Xin. This Murong Da Chanyu stared at Murong Ren, and was about to pronounce a sentence, when suddenly someone walked up quickly and whispered something in his ear, which immediately made everyone The Shanyu's expression changed.

Murong Yun and Murong Huang were the closest. They were stunned for a moment when they saw this, and then they guessed the reason.

"But Chen Shouyi is here?" Murong Yun took two steps forward and asked in a low voice.

Murong Xin nodded and said to everyone present: "Chen Fujun has led a group of troops and is currently stationed outside the city, but he still sent someone to deliver the letter."

"He still wants to stay?" Murong Yun frowned, "Is he really planning to attack the city? He still wants to do something that the four-party coalition could not do at the beginning? If I were him and could drive Murong Ren all over the grassland, I would It’s enough, at least you will have prestige when you go back, so why do you want to go even further and come to Thorn City to show off your power? This is not a place where he can be so arrogant with just a few thousand troops!"

Everyone else immediately spoke out——

"That's right. Could it be that I'm still afraid of thousands of people like him?"

"Murong Ren's losing streak does not mean that our Murong clan has no capable people. Then Chen Zhi is a little arrogant, coming here and making noise!"

"The so-called stationing means exerting pressure. It is simply ridiculous. I am afraid that even if the Quartet Allied Forces come again, they may not dare to do this. He has thousands of troops and horses, and he dares to do this. Could it be because Wang Jun was careless and was taken over by him? Youzhou is a bit ignorant of the sky and the earth?”

"Perhaps this is the case. He is so overwhelmed by victory that he needs someone to wake him up!"

"This might be an opportunity. If this person is ignorant, then capture him. Maybe Youzhou..."

As the Murong clan disciples talked, their eyes lit up, as if they had forgotten that this time they sent people to provoke Chen Zhi in Youzhou territory first.

Murong Xu, on the other hand, narrowed his eyes as if he was weighing the situation. After a while, he waved and said to everyone: "You all go down first, I have my own arrangements."

"promise!"
