Traveling Through the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber: The Ming Zun Zhang Wuji

Chapter 396 Unexpected one-sided

Just when everyone was discussing to find Xiao Zhao, Zhou Zhiruo stood up and said, "Look, the two of them are back!" Zhou Zhiruo pointed at them.

Zhang Wuji and the others also looked in the direction Zhou Zhiruo was pointing at, only to see Xiao Zhao and Pasha walking slowly towards this side holding hands.

And Zhou Zhiruo waved at them, Xiao Zhao and Pasha also waved back.

After a while, the two came to the open-air second floor of the inn where they were.

After the two sat down, Yang Buhui handed two plates of cut mutton in front of the two of them.And Zhang Wuji poured a cup of milk tea for each of them.

Zhang Wuji asked at this time: "How is the situation?"

After taking a sip of milk tea, Xiao Zhao replied, "The situation is not very good."

Zhang Wuji looked at Zhao Min at this time and said: "As expected, we came a step late. It seems that the Persian leader has been wiped out by your father and brother, alas~! It's a pity, but there is no way It seems that the purpose of our trip is to persuade your father and brother to surrender."

After Zhao Min nodded, he spread his hands and said, "There is no way to do this. After all, my father now has 10,000+ soldiers and horses. No matter how strong the Persian Mingjiao is, it will definitely be no match for our Mongolian cavalry. Back then, our Mongolian Genghis Khan During the first Western Expedition, there were only 10,000+ people, and these people forcibly defeated Khorezmo, known as the conqueror of the world."

"Now my father's 10,000+ soldiers and horses, although most of them are civilians, do not have much combat power, but they are not something a small Persian Mingjiao can resist."

Zhang Wuji stroked his chin and said, "Look, do we want to transfer the soldiers from Chagatai? If we don't give your father a little deterrence, I'm afraid he won't follow him given his old man's character. We negotiated."

Zhao Min replied: "That's true."

Watching Zhang Wuji and Zhao Min talking to themselves, Xiao Zhao swallowed the mutton in his mouth, and then said: "No, son, princess sister."

I heard Xiao Zhao say "no".Zhang Wuji and Zhao Min turned their heads to look at her.

Zhang Wuji asked: "What isn't it?"

Zhao Min also murmured and asked: "Yes, what's not? Is the Persian leader still lingering? Wasn't my father completely wiped out?"

Then Zhang Wuji said: "This is not a strange thing. After all, the Persian Mingjiao has occupied the Western Regions for hundreds of years. Although it is not a tree with deep roots, the cunning rabbit still has three holes. They should not be unprepared at all. It seems that we will come here It's not too late."

"No! It should be said to be just right! This is just a good opportunity for me to win the hearts of the teachers, but the tricky thing is that the two of them did not suffer from both sides, but the situation fell to King Ruyang. It seems that I still want to Spend more effort to meet my father-in-law."

Having said that, Zhang Wuji couldn't help laughing at himself.

He found that anyone who was his father-in-law didn't seem to have a good end.

The first father-in-law Zhu Changling was starved to death by himself, and the second father-in-law Wu Lie and the prospective father-in-law Yin Yewang were both beaten by him.

As for Yang Xiao, who is also the prospective father-in-law, he respects and fears him.Not to mention King Ruyang.

But Yang Xiao was an exception, after all Yang Buhui should have married Yin Liting.If Zhang Wuji hadn't been a hindrance and changed this year-end relationship, according to the description in the original book, Yang Buhui should have even given birth to a child by now.

Just after Zhang Wuji finished speaking, Xiao Zhao's words froze the air instantly.Everyone was stunned.

After swallowing the mutton in his mouth, Xiao Zhao said: "The current situation is indeed one-sided. But it is not the Ruyang King's side, but the head teacher's side."

Hearing this, everyone was shocked, speechless for a long time.

After Zhao Min dug his ears, he broke the silence.

"What? The situation is one-sided, to the head teacher of Persia? Xiao Zhao! Did I hear you right!" Zhao Min said in surprise.

Pasha also said at this time: "I didn't hear it wrong. It's true. When I inquired with Sister Xiaozhao, when I heard the news for the first time, Sister Xiaozhao's reaction was the same as everyone's. Afterwards, Sister Xiaozhao took Me, the two of us confirmed this fact after repeated inquiries."

Yang Buhui murmured: "No wonder you two came back so slowly. It turns out that you have repeatedly verified the reliability of the information."

Hearing this, Zhang Wuji felt that this matter was very new.

He sat down, and then asked: "Oh? What's going on? Then King Ruyang has 10,000+ soldiers and horses. Even if most of them are civilians, there are 5 to elite soldiers who can be used for combat. And Prince Ruyang and his son are both brave and skilled generals, how many troops can the Persian head teacher have? These to Mongolian elite soldiers can trample the head teacher to death."

Xiao Zhao said, "A total of 5000 people."

"What!" Zhao Min couldn't help but exclaimed with wide eyes. "My father and brother, can't we use 10,000+ troops to destroy a sect with 5000 troops?"

But what did Zhao Min think of at this time, she asked: "Could it be that the location of the Persian Mingjiao General Altar is built against the mountain, the road is winding and narrow, the Mongolian cavalry cannot deploy, and there are natural dangers to rely on, so it is easy to defend but difficult to attack?"

If what Zhao Min said is true, then this matter is not difficult to understand.

After all, 10,000+ Mongols can't eat a city, and it's not uncommon to have a fortress.

In the Diaoyu City in the Southern Song Dynasty, from the time when the Mongols invaded Bashu, until Lin'an City was broken in the Southern Song Dynasty and Emperor Song Gong surrendered, the Mongols failed to capture Diaoyu City.

In the end, after the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty, the defender Kaesong surrendered, and Diaoyucheng was taken over by the Yuan army.

If the location of the head teacher of Persia is also a fortress like Diaoyu City, it is not surprising that Prince Ruyang and his son have been unable to attack for a long time.

At this time, Dai Qisi's voice came: "The altar of the head teacher is in the 'Yuluo Mountain' in the northwest of Yulongjiechi, and it is called 'Guangming City'. It’s flat and short mountains, while other places are mostly plains and deserts, so it’s not easy to defend and difficult to attack.”

Hearing Dai Qisi's words, Zhang Wuji said at this time: "If this is the case, it would be strange. Could it be that the leader of Hoja's troops and horses are properly dispatched, and one of the soldiers under his command can be as good as ten? Or maybe they have very powerful firearms?"

Thinking of this, Zhang Wuji confirmed his guess.

He felt that the reason why the Mongols had been unable to attack for a long time was that the head teacher had mastered more advanced and modern firearms.

After all, when they were on Spirit Snake Island, the artillery on their ship was very well made.

The best weapons against nomadic raiders are muskets and artillery.If Huojia had relatively advanced firearms, it would be normal for him to be unable to take down a city guarded by thousands of people.

However, Xiao Zhao's words afterward poured a basin of cold water on Zhang Wuji's head.

Xiao Zhao said at this time: "The firearms on the head teacher's side are indeed powerful. But they are only powerful. I heard from a nearby businessman who supplied the Mongols with food and grass. During the first battle a few months ago, the Mongols were indeed I suffered from artillery, but in recent days, as the Mongols continued to harass and consume, it didn’t take long for the head teacher to run out of gunpowder. The artillery without gunpowder is a useless iron lump, so the head teacher was beaten retreated steadily. They retreated all the way to Guangming City."
