Xiaoyouzhutian, send Yi Xiaochuan to the palace to start

Chapter 41: Successful Development of Artillery

One day later, Liu Hao led an army of 500,000 and left Yanmen County in a mighty manner.

Since Yunzhong County, Dai County, Shanggu County and other places have now been incorporated into his system, he specially left behind tens of thousands of elite troops to guard the security of the border.

The 500,000-strong army was unstoppable and Liu Hao recruited all the troops in wherever they went.

He now has 300,000 elite soldiers, with the total number of soldiers from various counties adding up to 300,000. Every time he conquers a county, he will leave some elite soldiers behind, and all the original county soldiers will be incorporated into his punitive army.

So now, his original elite troops have been reduced from 500,000 to 300,000, but the overall number of people has increased a lot.

This is also to ensure that nothing goes wrong and the territory that you have conquered will not be occupied by someone with ulterior motives.

With a large army and a large number of sophisticated long-range weapons like Han Xin, they were invincible.

It took less than a month to fight their way from Yanmen County to Hedong County.

Everything was going smoothly for them, but Yi Xiaochuan, who was hundreds of kilometers away from them, was like an ant on hot pan.

He originally thought that Liu Hao would not come back so soon, after all, the Huns had a coalition force of hundreds of thousands.

Even if there are hundreds of thousands of pigs, how many days will it take you to slaughter them?

And even if Liu Hao managed to win, how many troops would he have left?

The tens of thousands of troops in Hedong County and Taiyuan County alone are enough to give him a hard time. It will take him at least a year or two to come back.

However, who would have thought that it would take Liu Hao less than two months to leave Xianyang and return to Hedong County. This was absolutely unacceptable to Yi Xiaochuan.

So Yi Xiaochuan hurriedly transferred troops from other places, and only then was he able to gather an army of 200,000. But what could an army of 200,000 do against Liu Hao's army of 600,000?

The meeting hall of the Xianyang Palace was empty. Yi Xiaochuan was sitting on Ying Zheng's throne, raging with rage.

"Why! Why does Liu Hao have so many troops!"

"In the history of the Qin Dynasty, no one except Meng Tian could defeat the Xiongnu! There has never been a person like Liu Hao!"

"Why, why is this happening? Is this world I traveled to not a world in history? Or is it because of my arrival that a butterfly effect occurred?"

Yi Xiaochuan still hasn't thought about whether Liu Hao is also a time traveler.

Although Liu Hao owns Xiangmanlou and Yingxiongzui, the chef of Xiangmanlou is Gao Yao, so it is not difficult for him to brew wine.

Gao Yao can use Liu Hao's money to conduct long-term research and brew strong liquor. Similarly, Liu Hao will become richer and richer and can recruit soldiers and horses.

"Gao Yao! Gao Yao! Why do you want to stand on Liu Hao's side! We are a family!"

Yi Xiaochuan became angrier and angrier, the veins on his neck bulged, "Come in!"

He just shouted angrily, and the tightly closed door of the hall slowly opened.

A woman in white clothes walked in from outside the hall and knelt tremblingly in front of him.

"Gao Yao, you are unkind, but don't blame me for being unjust, tsk tsk..." Yi Xiaochuan looked at the trembling woman kneeling in front of him and suddenly let out a creepy laugh.

------Dividing line------

Hedong County, Anyi.

At this time, while Liu Hao was leading his army to rest in Anyi, he was also waiting for a new batch of supplies from Sishui County.

Han Xin led his troops to victory everywhere, thanks to the behind-the-scenes arsenal in Sishui County, where Wang Hu and Xiahou Ying led their men to work overtime to produce weapons, arrows and other consumables.

Then they sent people to Han Xin's army in time. Their contribution was no less than Han Xin's.

After this batch of new equipment supplies arrived, Liu Hao was ready to launch the final attack on Xianyang. The rest were a group of small Rakami. After taking Xianyang, Xiang Yu, Han Xin and others would deal with them.

What a level of status, he even has to lead the army in person.

"Report! My Lord, General Xiahou has arrived in Anyi with the supplies he is escorting."

A messenger came to a huge courtyard and reported to Liu Hao, Xiao He, Zhang Liang and others who were drinking tea in the pavilion.

"Oh? Are you finally here?" When Liu Hao first arrived in Hedong County, he asked Han Xin to send a carrier pigeon to Pei County to deliver supplies.

After they took over the entire Hedong County, they waited for another five days before someone finally arrived.

Half an hour later.

While Liu Hao was chatting with Zhang Liang and others, Xiahou Ying brought some people to the mansion where Liu Hao was temporarily staying.

"My lord!" Xiahou Ying's first reaction when he saw Liu Hao was to kneel on one knee, his eyes full of admiration.

Liu Hao was also very friendly when he saw Xiahou Ying, whom he had not seen for many days. After all, these people were considered to be a group of people who had followed him in the early days. Liu Hao took two steps to his side and helped him up.

"I haven't seen you for a long time. You have lost weight. Thank you for your hard work."

Don’t think that logistics is an easy job. For those who are dedicated and conscientious, they will do everything themselves in any position.

Xiahou Ying's voice was a little choked up, and he looked at Liu Hao excitedly: "It's not hard! Xiahou's biggest regret is that he didn't go to the battlefield with the lord. I hope the lord will agree!"

"Okay, follow me to attack Xianyang. Tell me how much supplies you brought."

Liu Hao smiled and patted his shoulder.

"Thank you, my lord. Reporting to my lord, Xiahou brought an army of 100,000 this time, with 1 million stones of food and fodder, 200,000 arrows of various types, thousands of siege ladders, and thousands of catapults."

"Also, the artillery that the lord had been studying before was developed by Jiang Hao's master, Liu Xuanzi."

"Oh? The artillery has been developed successfully?"

Liu Hao was somewhat excited when he heard this.

"Yes, lord. It has been more than a month since you left Pei County. Jiang Hao brought Liu Xuanzi to Pei County. Liu Xuanzi worked day and night on it and finally developed it a month ago."

Xiahou Ying was very happy when he saw that Liu Hao was a little excited.

"Well, the Mohist master is indeed extraordinary!"

"My Lord, Liu Xuanzi asked me to tell him something. Without the sketches and experience you left behind, he would never be able to develop it."

Liu Hao smiled faintly and immediately asked about the number of artillery pieces.

"My lord, the artillery has been developed, but it is not easy to make. We can only produce ten per month. So far, there are only fifteen artillery pieces, but the shells are as high as tens of thousands."

"In addition to this, Liu Xuanzi also made some kind of thunder and fire bomb. When the thunder and fire bomb is placed in the catapult and encounters a violent impact, a huge explosion will also occur."

"Good! Very good, the Mohist master lives up to his reputation!"

"Pass on my military order! The army will march out tomorrow to surround Xianyang!"

Liu Hao was delighted. With such a powerful siege weapon, he would not be afraid of not being able to break through the walls of Xianyang even if they were high and thick.

"My Lord, don't worry, there is one more thing..."

"The mistresses also followed Xiahou to Anyi."
