The First Tyrant of Daxia

Chapter 1248: One month later, the Jurchen Elephant Army!

One month later, news came from Muzhou!

In the Taiji Hall, the imperial guards were crawling and rolling.

"Report!"

"Your Majesty, the Jurchens have been unable to capture Muzhou for a long time. Marshal Xiao Jian of Beiting Mountain Road has repeatedly frustrated the Jurchens. Emperor Wanyan was furious and sent out his strongest elephant army!"

"The Twelve Riders of Yanyun, King Shunxun was forced to abandon the roads of Chibi and other places and defend Muzhou City!"

"General Xiao Jian was also attacked by the elephant army and was forced to abandon some of the important roads he had occupied."

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole court was in turmoil and everyone was whispering to each other.

"What's going on? Don't we have an absolute advantage?"

"If we give up the important roads, we will only be able to passively defend, and counterattacking the Jurchens will be even more difficult!"

Qin Yun narrowed his eyes and quickly asked, "What do you mean by the strongest elephant army?"

Minister of War Zhao Heng stepped out immediately, his expression difficult to calm down: "Your Majesty, if I am not mistaken, this is a type of soldier recorded in military books, which is unique to the Jurchens."

"They tamed the fierce and wild elephants and used them as wild horses to gallop across the battlefield!"

"Not to mention the cavalry, even if a heavy chariot hit it, it would be crushed by the elephant weighing thousands of pounds."

Another veteran general in the army bowed and stood up: "That's right, Your Majesty, I have also read this kind of military books. Our ancestors once said that the Jurchens rode elephants and were good at mountain trails. The Xiongnu rode lions and were good at iron pagodas. Both were invincible in the world!"

"I didn't expect the Jurchens to reveal their cards so quickly."

As soon as the words fell, the expressions of the civil and military officials on both sides changed drastically: "Ah? Is there anyone else who can control the giant elephant?"

"How do we deal with such a huge monster?"

"Only the Red Cannon can deal with it!"

"I'm afraid that the Red Cannon won't be able to sweep across the country. Ancient books record that the giant elephants in the north have terrifying vitality. If we can't kill them with one shot, they will surely be frightened. Once they charge forward, countless casualties will occur!"

"..."

Qin Yun narrowed his eyes. Elephant Army?

It was the first time he heard of this kind of soldiers. Although the aliens lacked culture, they did master some methods that were difficult for ordinary people to understand, such as the people of the 蠠頠 people knew how to use sesame oil.

Lei Li Fengxing asked: "How serious were the losses of Xiao Jian and Prince Shunxun?"

The imperial guards reported the situation to the emperor, saying, "Your Majesty, it's not serious, but it's a bit troublesome. The elephant army is everywhere, hiding in the mountains and fields, and can pop up at any time. The fortresses and crops outside Muzhou City have been destroyed."

"And Yelu Yan took the opportunity to gather his army and divide Muzhou City and Beiting Mountain Road. Muzhou has become a trapped beast, and the transportation of food and grass has become a problem!"

"What?" the courtier exclaimed, his face drooping!

The imperial guards bowed and said, "Your Majesty, it is absolutely true. This time, the Wanyan Emperor has increased the offensive force. Many people from the Jurchen Military Affairs Bureau have infiltrated the border. Sometimes even communications are subject to assassination."

Qin Yun frowned, his face turned cold: "Humph, this Wanyan Emperor, it seems that he is determined to conquer Muzhou!"

"You can't touch a tiger's butt!"

“Pass on my order. Have Pingjianlou, who is close to Muzhou, lead the artillery army to advance towards Muzhou City. Be careful of the Jurchen surprise troops. After arriving at Muzhou City, open the city to repel the enemy and bomb the elephant army to let them know that they are all ants within the range of artillery!!”

He was extremely tough. Even elephants are made of flesh and blood, right? How could a cannon not blow them apart? It was a joke!

"Yes!" Someone answered and immediately rode at full speed to deliver the message.

Qin Yun stood up and ordered, "Zhao Heng, it's time to send out the 1,000 scouts trained by the Ministry of War. Let them rush to the aid of Muzhou and obey the orders of King Shunxun."

"That damn Jurchen military supervisor dared to extend his hand into the country. He is courting death!"

Zhao Heng cupped his hands: "Yes!"

At this time, Mu Le, who was always belligerent, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I ask for a fight. The Shenji Camp must kill the enemy general, Yelu Yan!"

He said in a loud voice that the 100,000-man Shenji Battalion was almost a level that could frighten ghosts. After a long period of training, it was estimated that Yuan Gu's wolf riders would not get any pleasure in a head-on battle.

Qin Yun shook his head: "No!"

Mu Le's face was bitter: "Your Majesty, why is this?"

Qin Yun glared: "I have said it many times, Daxia's main task is to prevent the Jurchens from entering the country, support Wanyan Honglie to take the throne, and let the Jurchens fight among themselves!"

"As long as Emperor Wanyan falls and Wanyan Honglie takes power, Daxia will be completely victorious."

"The imperial court has put so much effort into the 100,000-man Shenji Battalion. Why would they want to hurt themselves when there are other ways?"

Mu Le was puzzled and asked, "But Wanyan Honglie is still in the imperial capital. He is alone, how can he fight against Emperor Wanyan?"

This question was also asked by all the civil and military officials in the court, and they all raised their eyes in doubt.

Wanyan Honglie's trump card has not been used so far. You must know that the bloody fighting on the border has been going on for several months. If it were not for Wanyan Honglie, the war would probably not have broken out.

This person did not give anything back to Daxia, at least for them, it was a loss.

Qin Yun frowned: "I have my own plan for this matter, so don't ask about it. The red cannons will descend on the main battlefield, which will surely reverse the disadvantage. Then Emperor Wanyan will be in big trouble!"

"The imperial capital will keep its troops on hold for the time being!" he said with absolute certainty.

Mu Le and others were unwilling to stay in the imperial capital, but they had no choice but to obey orders and did not dare to disobey: "Yes!"

In fact, to Qin Yun, this was not like a war, but more like a business. All he had to do was to help Wanyan Honglie get back on his feet and let him take revenge.

Daxia will help, but it will never fight the Jurchens to the death. If it kills them and then hands the Jurchens over to Wanyan Honglie, wouldn’t that be stupid?

After leaving court, Qin Yun immediately wrote another letter and sent it to Muzhou City.

By the time the news reached Muzhou and the artillery troops took action again, seven or eight days had passed.

The eight hundred red cannons seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth, and then suddenly reappeared again, unknown to the public. With strong psychological support, every appearance could create endless waves.

On this day, thunder was heard in Muzhou City, which had been under siege for many days.

Bang bang bang! !

Eight hundred black cannon muzzles were pointed from the city walls at the Chibi and mountains outside the city, carrying out an endless bombardment.

The mountains and rivers shook, countless rocks were shattered, and green smoke rose up, as if the world was being destroyed!

Today’s cannons are more powerful than before and have a longer range!

But the Jurchens were not useless. They had made preparations in advance. The elephant army suffered little loss, but their troops who were good at fighting on mountain roads met with misfortune after hiding in the Gobi Desert.

The light shock killed countless people, which was comparable to the tragic situation of the Turks at the beginning. They were like brothers in distress, screaming and wailing, surrounding a large area of ​​hilly highlands.

This time, the Jurchens truly realized what the red cannon was!

Pingjian Tower fired a cannon to celebrate their arrival in Muzhou, but the Jurchens treated them as if they were facing a powerful enemy and immediately retreated twenty miles. Yelu Yan and his men had no choice but to retreat.

The danger of Muzhou being besieged and the battlefield being divided was eliminated so easily!

On the city wall.

Ping Jian Lou and many artillery soldiers laughed loudly and said proudly: "These bastards, can they do whatever they want just because they rely on the elephant army?"

"If you have the guts, pull it out and give it a try. Let's see which is stronger, the elephant army or the red cannon!"

The defenders of Muzhou looked at the mighty and huge cannon with fear in their hearts and excitement at the same time, as they had finally seen the world-famous red cannon.

The defeat of the Jurchens is just around the corner!

Only one person, Prince Shunxun Qin Ci, was not happy at all.
