Chapter 667

The Xixia defenders kept feeling the sound of the sky, and the Xixia people could not rest well. After that, they made a stone throwing machine that was once again shamelessly named after His Majesty the Emperor's reign.

And this kind of ammunition used is a huge rock with a weight of more than 100 kilograms. Even if Han Zhongyan didn't see it with his own eyes, he could imagine how much shock and horror it would bring to people if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes.

After reading the military newspaper and taking off his glasses, Han Zhongyan's face was both relieved and expected.

"I am really a little curious. In less than half a year, my Song Dynasty's disadvantage against Xixia suddenly turned over. If Wang Wushan was allowed to stay on the border of Shaanxi Road for a year and a half, it would not seem too surprised if Xixia was pacified..."

"Master, you're joking, right? Although Lord Xiao Wang can be regarded as one of the few talented men in the Song Dynasty, in the past six months, the Song Dynasty has won consecutive victories, but it is not entirely his own achievements for Wang Wushan." The confidant entourage next to him couldn't help but look at his master in surprise.

"Although it's not all his credit, you have noticed that behind every victory, you can find the shadow of Wang Wushan, which seems to be everywhere."

"Before, when Huanzhou City was besieged by nearly 200,000 Xixia people, if it weren't for the addition of a large number of Yuanyou crossbows with excellent durability, and the Yuanyou Cement, which could only take one night to repair the cracks in the city wall and be as solid as rocks, would you think Zhang Feng could defend it so easily?"

"If Wang Wushan had not persuaded Zhe Keshi in Hongde Village, there would have been no way for the Battle of Hongde Village. If he had not volunteered to build a defense line in Maling's Neixia, it would have been very likely that the victory of the Battle of Hongde Village would have been greatly inferior."

"The reason for this battle between Jianing Military Office was not because this guy proposed to persuade Liang Yibi to surrender, and then he deliberately let Mi Qin Shunde know the news."

"As a result, the Xixia king sent a large army south, which gave me the opportunity to seize Yanzhou in the Song Dynasty. In the end, Liang Yibi led 100,000 surrendered soldiers to return to the Song Dynasty, and presented Youzhou and Hongzhou, so that our Song Dynasty could restore the old land..."

"There are all kinds of shadows of this kid being mixed in. Could it be that I am or even Master Su? I am afraid that I have to admit that if I hadn't been this kid, how could I win a great victory like a destruction?"

"After hearing what you said, it seems like that is true." The confidant entourage flicked his tongue. "I thought this little master was just a little clever, but now it seems that he is looking at people in the crack of the small door."

"Don't bully the young man, the ancients did not bully me." Han Zhongyan said with emotion as he stroked his long beard.

On the day the battle in Wuyan Ancient City ended, the already destroyed Yuanyou catapult was ordered to burn down by Wang Yang. The other three Yuanyou catapults were closely guarded by a battalion of elite soldiers assigned by Zhe Keshi. After loading the car, they were transported straight to Hongzhou.

As for the camp in the ancient city of Wuyan, which had turned into ruins, two thousand soldiers were left to guard the camp. As for the more than 6,000 prisoners of war with wounded legs, they were also escorted, limping with the support of their fellow comrades and heading towards Hongzhou.

Three days later, the news that Wuyan Ancient City killed 5,000 enemies, captured more than 20,000 enemies, and captured more than 41,800 war horses once again shocked Tokyo Bianliang.

Zhao Xu looked at the good news in his hand and looked at it again and again, and seemed to be a little lacking in confidence. What a fuck, when did the army of the Song Dynasty become so awesome?

Think about the fact that when my father was alive, he could fight with Xixia and kill more than one thousand enemies, which would be a great victory. He could win several small camps, which would be the merit of expanding the land.

But when you get to your own place, if you don’t kill three or five thousand enemies in a battle, you can’t call it a victory, if you don’t capture more than ten thousand prisoners of war, you can’t call it a great victory, if you don’t expand the territory for three or five hundred miles, it’s like you’re embarrassed to meet people.

"It seems that Your Majesty is very happy, but why are you still sighing?" The Queen Meng, beside her, had long noticed the emperor's strangeness, and finally asked at this time.

"Zi Tong, don't know that in the past, our Song Dynasty fought against the enemy country and killed more than a thousand enemies, it would be a great victory. If we could seize several camps from Xixia, we could be considered as the result of expanding the land. Now, in less than half a year, the Shaanxi border army has expanded more than 1,500 miles of land, and obtained the land of the three states. They killed thousands of enemies in each battle, captured more than 1,000 enemies, and obtained countless horses, cattle and sheep..."

"How should you express such merits? How to reward? You can't let those meritorious officials suffer grievances. These are the most troublesome things for me." After Zhao Xu said a lot, he sighed helplessly.

Sometimes the level of happiness will even make you feel helpless. This is something that your father never felt when he was alive? Zhao Xu couldn't help but think happily in his heart.

"Your Majesty's words are bad. The ones who should be troubled should be the civil and military ministers in the court." Meng couldn't help but smile. She also realized that Your Majesty had no headache. It was obvious that he didn't want to walk in the night in a bright clothes and wanted to show off to herself a few more times.

"After that being said, I am the Emperor of the Song Dynasty after all, and those ministers asked them to do this job, I was afraid that they would wrong the heroes."

"Your Majesty is worried that Mr. Wushan is wronged." Meng's eyes turned, and he blinked in a cunning manner, hitting the nail on the head.

"I am worthy of being my pillow, and I know me, Zi Tong." Zhao Xu laughed and nodded repeatedly.

"I have been with Your Majesty these days, and I know a little about Mr. Wushan's merits. If Mr. Wushan had not had a great victory in Hongde Village, and if Mr. Wushan had not, few people would have thought of the power to persuade him to surrender to a country. Now, if Mr. Wushan had not developed this Yuanyou stone throwing machine in the last battle, I am afraid that the battle of the ancient city of Wuyan would not have won so much joy..."

"Zi Tong is right, but there are still many contributions you haven't mentioned. Whether it is Yuanyou Cement, Yuanyou Crossbow, Yuanyou Jia, they all make achievements in these consecutive battles. And these are all from the hands of Wang Wushan."

"It's a pity that most of the civil and military officials in the court were seeking personal gain. Wang Wushan was extremely talented and made meritorious achievements at a young age. These people must be secretly jealous..."

"So, Your Majesty, you are worried that the ministers in the court will deliberately suppress them..." Meng naturally understood what his husband meant in seconds.

"No," Zhao Xu stroked his eyebrows and said in embarrassment.
