Chapter 983 Listen to the sound

The secret weapon?

Hearing Yun Zheng's words, Yu Shizhong couldn't help but be stunned.

But soon, he reacted.

The secret weapons Yun Zheng mentioned should be the explosive packs and the tiger squat cannon, right?

"Your Highness brought this secret weapon, but I really don't know how to use it!"

Yu Shizhong looked at Yun Zheng bitterly, "Your Highness, you can't just watch the fun anymore, right? Please tell me how to use those things to gain an advantage on the battlefield!"

If Yun Zheng had enough secret weapons, or if there were any mountains or canyons around, Yu Shizhong would know how to use the secret weapons that Yun Zheng brought.

But there are only a few explosive packs, and there are no high mountains around.

Basically, a slope of about 20 meters is considered a relatively high mountain.

As for the Crouching Tiger Cannon, it is indeed powerful, but there is only one of them, and it is very troublesome to load.

It is not realistic to expect to kill as many barbarians as possible with the Tiger Crouching Cannon.

In this situation, Yu Shizhong didn't know how to use the secret weapon in his hand.

No one here has more say than Yun Zheng on how to use these weapons.

"It's not realistic to rely on those things to directly kill a lot of people."

Yun Zheng shook his head and said, "You can change the direction and we can just listen to the noise, isn't that okay?"

Just listen to the noise?

After listening to Yun Zheng's words, everyone couldn't help but look upset.

Yun Zheng spent a lot of effort to create this secret weapon, just for the sake of hearing a noise?

"Do you want to disturb those giant beasts? Let them attack the barbarian army?"

At this moment, Jia Yao suddenly asked.

After listening to Jia Yao's words, Yu Shizhong suddenly reacted.

"Yup!"

Yu Shizhong slapped his head and looked at Jia Yao with admiration: "Madam Jia Yao is really smart! If those mammoths are frightened and attack the barbarian army, the barbarian army will definitely fall into chaos!"

When the time comes, they will launch a large-scale attack and will surely be able to defeat the barbarian army in one fell swoop!

"She's not smart, she just thinks more than you do."

Yun Zheng's eyes fell on Jia Yao, and he asked with a half-smile: "I guess you've been thinking all day about what you'd do if I used these weapons against you, right?"

Facing Yun Zheng's gaze, Jia Yao felt inexplicably guilty.

She always felt that Yun Zheng seemed to be able to see through her thoughts.

She was still wondering whether Yun Zheng had guessed that she had been secretly preparing for Beihuan to move overseas.

This feeling of being seen through made Jia Yao feel nervous and uncomfortable.

Jia Yao adjusted his mood a little and smiled: "You and I are both leaders. If I have these things in my hands, you probably think more than I do, right?"

If she said she hadn't thought about those things, she wouldn't believe it herself.

This is human nature!

It would be truly abnormal if she didn't think about it.

"Makes sense!"

Yun Zheng nodded slightly, and then said to Yu Shizhong: "When we were retreating, I paid special attention to the fact that there were two small hills about 20 miles northeast of our camp. According to the direction of the barbarian army's advance, they should pass through the middle of the two hills. Let's bury the explosives between the two hills..."

Listening to Yun Zheng's plan, Yu Shizhong couldn't help but nod repeatedly.

"By the way, Your Highness, we also need to send people to dig a pit over there."

Yu Shizhong reminded again: "This way, we can prevent the mammoth from rushing towards us after being frightened..."

"can!"

Yun Zheng nodded and smiled, "Also, it's best to find the position of the enemy's commander, and then use the tiger squat cannon to fire at the enemy's commander's position..."

As long as we can kill the enemy commander and use the explosives to scare the mammoths into attacking the barbarian army, there will be basically no major problems in this battle.

"it is good!"

Yu Shizhong nodded heavily.

……

After dinner, everyone gathered in Yun Zheng’s tent to discuss the battle plan.

Yun Zheng had already told them how to use the tiger squat cannon and explosive packs. As for the rest of the battle plan, Yun Zheng didn't say much. It was basically Yu Shizhong and the others who discussed it with Jia Yao.

At around midnight, the battle plan was finally re-determined.

Seeing that it was getting late, Yun Zheng quickly drove everyone out of his tent.

Jia Yao originally wanted to stay and talk with Yun Zheng, and simply test Yun Zheng’s attitude towards their migration overseas to rebuild Beihuan, but after thinking about it, she decided not to.

The war is about to begin, this is not the time to talk about these things.

Let’s finish this fight, then we can slowly talk about these troubles!

After a night's rest, Yun Zheng and his army left the camp again.

Although yesterday's harassment did not succeed in luring the barbarian army into their ambush circle and a small number of troops were lost, today's harassment will continue.

On the one hand, it was to test the maximum attack distance of the slings in the hands of the barbarians, and on the other hand, it was to slow down the marching speed of the barbarian army and buy enough time for them to dig a pit between the two nameless hills.

In this weather, the ground is frozen hard, and it is not easy to dig a pit big enough to stop a giant beast like a mammoth.

Before the army left the camp, Jia Yao sent someone to pass on a message to Guge, ordering him to lead his 10,000 troops to move closer to them and never give the defeated barbarian soldiers a chance to escape to the royal court.

Yun Zheng and his army stopped about one mile away from the two small hills.

They treated this battle as the decisive one.

They also brought out a lot of dung cakes stored in the camp.

While waiting for the barbarian army to approach, tens of thousands of soldiers spread out in the snow, gathered together in groups, lit dung cakes and roasted fires to keep warm. The soldiers of Daqian could even take off their helmets, stuff them with snow, and put them by the fire to melt, and drink some hot water to warm themselves.

Between the two hills, the soldiers were also digging hard.

However, the ground was frozen too hard, so the excavation speed was quite slow.

Yun Zheng stood on a small hill to check the progress of the excavation, and from time to time he took out his telescope to look into the distance for a while.

So far, they have not seen the barbarian army.

I don’t know whether the thousands of people who went to harass the front have already engaged in battle with the barbarians.

Just when Yun Zheng was worried, Miaoyin came over holding a helmet and said, "Drink some hot water to warm yourself up first!"

"Did you drink?"

Yun Zheng turned around and looked at Miaoyin.

“I definitely drank it!”

Miaoyin smiled and said, "It's just a mouthful of hot water, why should I be polite to you?"

"now it's right!"

Yun Zheng laughed, took the helmet handed over by Miaoyin, poured a few sips of hot water into his mouth, and handed the helmet to Qin Qihu who was guarding beside him, "You should drink a few sips too!"

Qin Qihu was straightforward. He picked up the helmet and gulped down a few mouthfuls. He sighed with emotion, "Damn it, it would be nice to have a sip of strong liquor at this time."

"Think beautifully!"

Yun Zheng smiled and glared at Qin Qihu, "I was thinking of destroying the barbarians while eating meat and drinking wine!"

Qin Qihu grinned and suddenly said, "Speaking of meat, I suddenly thought of a question."

"what is the problem?"

Yunzheng was curious.

Qin Qihu smacked his lips and asked curiously, "Do you think the meat of the barbarians is delicious?"

"..."

Yun Zheng's mouth twitched slightly, and he looked disgusted.

For a moment, he really wanted to kick Qin Qihu away from him.

This birdman, why does he want to be an ogre when he can do anything else?

Just as the two were chatting and laughing casually, several scouts rode back on their horses and rushed directly in front of Yun Zheng.

A few feet away from Yun Zheng, several people dismounted from their horses and stumbled over.
