Legendary star: Signed to the Palace at the beginning

Chapter 223 Ready to go
"It's going to war! It's great."

Hearing this, all the generals were all smiling and gearing up.

During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, military merit was admired, and the status of military generals was higher than that of civil servants. Many civil servants were able to kill the enemy on horseback and govern the country when dismounted. This caused the whole people to love martial arts, and the children of Guanlong nobles flooded the court.

Now I heard that King Jin was going to lead everyone to fight against Tuyuhun. With the opportunity to make meritorious deeds, naturally everyone was very happy.

Yang Guang pretended to be an adult, coughed lightly, the generals were shocked and silenced immediately.

Yang Guangdao: "Gongshu will make it, how is the bed crossbow made?"

Gongshu clasped his fists again and said, "Your Highness, according to Master Hou's assembly line operation, after the craftsmen worked overtime, we have already produced [-] god-arm crossbows, [-] each of eight-ox crossbows, bean-inch crossbows, and continuous crossbows."

Yang Guangda was overjoyed and said, "General Yuchi, have you built enough arrows?"

Yuchijia clasped his fists and said: "Your Highness, I have already forged 50 arrows for the God Arm, [-] arrows for the Baoxen Crossbow, [-] arrows for the Doucunzi Crossbow, and [-] arrows for the Continuous Ballista."

Yang Guang said: "Okay, there are enough crossbows. Are the high bridge saddles and new stirrups equipped?"

Yuchijia said: "Your Highness, the three thousand cavalry are all equipped with high-bridge saddles and new-style stirrups, and the humble officials, Gongshu generals, and Yuwen generals also produced a large number of barbed wire and caltrops against nomadic cavalry. Siege and defense equipment such as horses, ladders, trebuchets, and row shields."

Yang Guangdao: "Okay, General Gongshu, General Yuwen, and General Yuchi have done a good job, Xiao Wang will give you a credit first."

Yu Wenkai, Gongshu Zhong, and Yu Chijia clasped their fists together and saluted, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Yang Guang went on to say: "Lai Hu'er, Qu Tutong, and Yu Juluo, each of you will lead a thousand cavalry, and the public loses heavily. You quickly recruit [-] young and strong peasants, and you lead some tribesmen and peasants to escort Bed Nuhe Zhang Xutuo and Yuchijia each led [-] infantry to protect all kinds of siege equipment, food and supplies, and after a few days, they set off with Yuan Xie's army, while Yu Wenkai stayed at Longshouyuan and continued to prepare for the construction of the new capital."

"As ordered!"

All the generals clasped their fists together and shouted.

In a quiet room, Yu Wenyan wiped Xiao Chuan's armor with a silk cloth, and Xiao Chuan stood aside helplessly.

After a long time, Xiao Chuan said, "Don't worry, I won't have an accident."

Yu Wenyan lowered her head, trying not to let the tears flow out, and said in a low voice: "Swords and swords have no eyes on the battlefield, you must be careful and return safely."

Xiao Chuan forced a smile and said, "Don't worry, the person who killed me hasn't been born yet. Don't forget that I, Dugu Chuan, am the number one god of war in the Sui Dynasty. Only I kill people, and no one can kill me."

Yu Wenyan hit Xiao Chuan with a dirty cloth, and said, "Look at you."

After a fierce ideological struggle, Xiao Chuan felt that he could not let down the little girl's heart.

Xiao Chuan grabbed Yu Wenyan's little hand and said with a smile: "I have asked the queen to propose marriage to your family. When I return in triumph, I will come to your house to propose marriage."

Yu Wenyan blushed when she heard the words, she pulled her hand out and said angrily, "Who wants to marry you?"

After speaking, he ran out of the room covering his red face.

Xiao Chuan chased out the door and shouted: "Yu Wenyan, if you don't want to marry, I won't propose marriage."

Yu Wenyan, who was running quickly, stopped when she heard the words, turned her head, stared at Xiao Chuan, and said viciously: "If you dare not go, I will ask Aye to break your leg."

After speaking, he ran away.

Xiao Chuan said happily: "Hey, Guanlong girl is still straightforward, I like it."

When Xiao Chuan was intoxicated, a voice came from beside him: "My lord."

Xiao Chuan woke up from his dream, and saw that it was Sun Simiao and several famous doctors.

Xiao Chuan hastily saluted and said, "So it's Dr. Sun, how are you?"

Sun Simiao said: "Master Hou, Pindao heard that His Royal Highness Prince Jin and Lord Hou are going to send troops to resist Tuyuhun. Let's discuss it and lead some medical students to go with the army."

Xiao Chuan said: "Miraculous doctor Sun, we have military doctors in the army, and the battlefield is dangerous. You are not soldiers, so don't take risks."

Sun Simiao said: "Your Majesty's words are wrong. Although we are not soldiers, we are all citizens of the Sui Dynasty. Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country. We are better than the military doctors in the army. In addition, the anatomy you mentioned a few days ago , Surgery requires a large number of corpses and wounded to practice, and the battlefield happens to have a lot of opportunities for experiments, and besides, we have the protection of the army, so there will be no accidents."

Xiao Chuan thought about it too. The main reason why there were few famous doctors and high death rate in ancient times was that there were few practice opportunities. A doctor can only become a famous doctor after countless times of practice, and the battlefield is the best place for surgeons to improve their skills.

In the period of cold weapons, there were not many soldiers who really died under the sword and gun. Most of them died of wounds. The wounded soldiers not only dragged down the troops, but also caused a great burden to the country.

So Xiao Chuan said: "Okay, on behalf of His Royal Highness Prince Jin and all the officers and soldiers, thank you. With your medical insurance, our soldiers will definitely reduce a lot of casualties."

Sun Simiao continued: "Master Hou, I got some of the gunpowder you asked me to study in the first few days."

Xiao Chuan was overjoyed, grabbed Sun Simiao's hand, shook it and said, "Really? You are such a living god, you can even research gunpowder."

Sun Simiao said with a smile: "Taoist tricks are not worth mentioning."

Xiao Chuan solemnly said: "Doctor Sun, don't underestimate this gunpowder. Maybe gunpowder will become a great invention of our Chinese nation like the compass and papermaking."

Sun Simiao was surprised and said: "Oh, gunpowder is so useful?"

Xiao Chuan said: "Of course, if you don't believe me, let's go experiment."

Xiao Chuan took some gunpowder refined by Sun Simiao, and made a few simple explosive packs according to Du Niang's recipe from the "system space warehouse", and then came to Longshouyuan with Yang Guang, Sun Simiao, Lai Huer and other generals. A remote barren mountain.

Xiao Chuan asked Lai Huer and others to build a simple fort, and then asked everyone to retreat to a safe place. He held an explosive bag and placed it on the side of the fort, then pulled the fuse, and quickly ran behind a bunker .

"boom!"

The fortress made of huge rocks was blown to pieces, and rubble flew into the sky.

When the gunpowder smoke cleared, everyone ran from a safe place and saw a big hole in the ground where the fortress was.

Yang Guang grabbed Xiao Chuan's hand and said excitedly, "Cousin, I didn't expect gunpowder to be so powerful."

Xiao Chuan said in disgust: "Ah Sheng, this is just a small power. If we develop powerful explosives and artillery shells, we can destroy the world in the future, and a single cannonball can destroy a city."

Yang Guang was surprised: "Really? That stranger told you again?"

Xiao Chuan said: "That's natural."

Yang Guang looked at the people around him with sharp eyes, and said, "Gunpowder is our weapon in the Sui Dynasty. Now it is the top secret and must not be leaked, otherwise there will be no mercy."

Lai Hu'er and other generals trembled in their hearts, they clasped their fists together and said, "Here."

Yang Guang looked at Sun Simiao as if looking at a treasure, and said in a gentle voice, "Master Sun, I leave the research on gunpowder to you. If you need money, raw materials, and talents, just tell me."
