"All the generals obey orders and strictly prevent the surrender of the Party and Xiang tribes that had surrendered before!"

"Stay steady!"

"Who dares to take a step back? Military law will deal with it!"

"Hurry! Make up there! Don't be empty!"

"Everyone has it! Shoot up! Raise it a little more! Let it go!"

"Put two more horses here! All the caltrops are spread over!"

Li Shibin and his men arrived in time, finally stabilized the defense line of Jinming Village and blocked the iron cavalry of Daxia outside. Although he had not withdrawn, he could no longer break the village and take Yanzhou directly, otherwise he would be attacked from both sides.

"There are ghosts! There are ghosts!"

"This is God's punishment! The patriarch is betrayal!"

"It's over! It's over!"

"Everyone is honest!"

"Go away quickly!"

The captured Dangxiang soldiers were still murmuring, while the Yang Family Guards were pushing and shoving.

"Young Master, everyone from the Xifeng clan is here!"

The rebel Xifeng family, with the cooperation of the Yang family, surrendered and were tied up in a series of strands and taken back. They still didn't know what they were going to face.

Li Shibin had already ordered that the Xifeng family surrendered and rebelled again, and all of them were executed on the spot. This was his promise to Xitianqiong, and it was also a deterrent to the surrendered tribes, and issued military orders. Similar situations will be followed in the future.

As the heads fell to the ground, Zhang Wei felt a little regretful. How great would it be if these people were sent to Shijianguo to mine. Unfortunately, this is a battlefield. Being kind to the enemy means being irresponsible to his own people, and he can only act according to Li Shibin's orders.

Li Shibin was also completely awakened this time. Dang Xiang Weiming had many tricks. His previous defeats were all arrogance. This time the offensive was extremely fierce, and it was definitely not what he thought was about to collapse at a touch.

The 36 villages led by Jinming Village were mostly broken this time, and only fifteen villages remained to defend the defense line. Fortunately, the most important thing is that Jinming Village, the largest, has not been broken, but the main force of the Yan army was almost defeated and suffered heavy losses.

What Li Shibin can do now is to defend the defense line to preserve his strength so that the opponent dare not attack Yanzhou. After Daxia retreats, the rest will rebuild the villages as soon as possible and restore the confrontation situation before this battle.

After Li Shibin stabilized the defense line, the first thing he did after the opponent suspended the attack was to lead the generals to find Zhang Wei and gave a deep salute: "Young Master Zhang! Thanks to you to help defeat the rebels this time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable!"

Zhang Wei quickly stopped and did not dare to accept this gift. Li Shibin grabbed Zhang Wei and said, "This time, not only is Shanyu we saving our lives, but also saved hundreds of thousands of people in Yanzhou in the rear! Please accept my gift!"

If Zhang Wei had not saved him, not only would he be captured by the rebels, but even Jinming Village would have been captured from the inside. Li Shibin was naturally grateful to Zhang Wei, and the generals in the northwest salute together.

"Thank you, young master! Save my life!"

"Thank you for helping me!"

"Thank you for your help yesterday!"

These days, Zhang Wei and the generals in the northwest have shared joys and sorrows and resisted the attack of Daxia. As a reinforcement, there were loopholes in the defense line, and Zhang Wei took people to fight back the Xia army. He formed a friendship with all the generals.

"I'm so handsome! All the generals are asking me up!" Zhang Wei helped Li Shibin up, and then returned the courtesy: "I am also a member of the Great Yan. As the saying goes, every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the country! This time, it's just a coincidence. I believe that any people of the Great Yan will do this!"

After Li Shibin stood up, he said, "I will thank you for your kindness. This time I can defend Jinming Village, all I can rely on the help of my son. When Daxia retreats, I will ask for me for the son. My soldiers and people in the northwest will also accept the son's feelings. If you have any needs in the future, we will have no choice!"

"No need to be so handsome!" Zhang Wei waved his hand quickly and said, "The credit was made with all your life. I just did it for a while. Besides, I am not a member of the army, so I must not ask for me for me! Military credit is useless to me, and I am just a waste of the credit of everyone!"

"My life is saved by the young master! What is the point of some credit?"

"That's it! The young master is so kind that I can't repay you! If I were a woman, I would promise you with my body!"

"Ah! How could the young master fall in love with a thick body like you!"

"Hahahahaha!"

Seeing that the generals had a little distorted topic, Zhang Wei hurriedly said, "I have received the feelings of brothers! But rewarding me with me is at most rewards. Although I am a son-in-law, I am not short of money to spend! I will add a sum to you. If you are promoted in the future, just think about me!"

All the generals were more or less lucky and were extremely mentally exhausted. It was when they were extremely nervous and sensitive. After hearing Zhang Wei's words, they all looked at him with gratitude.

Li Shibin said: "Young Master's kindness, I remember it in my Northwest Camp. If the young master has something to do in the future, just send a message. As long as it does not violate national laws, it will be within the scope of our authority, and it will definitely be smooth!"

"Not bad! If the young master is useful in the northwest, just say it! We are absolutely absolutely right!"

"Yes! Young Master, why don't you come to the northwest! We will protect you!"

"Forget it! Are you strong in the Young Master Guard?"

"That's true!"

The crowd's messy discussions changed from thanking Zhang Wei to discussing the combat effectiveness of his guards. In the end, no conclusion was drawn. Li Shibin and Zhang Wei both laughed constantly.

"Young Master Zhang, I wonder if you can let your sudden musket be seen again?" Li Shibin was already exhausted at this time, but he kept thinking about this question in his heart. After thanking for helping him, he raised it out, wanting to see the muskets used by Zhang Wei's guards.

Zhang Wei naturally knew that sooner or later, he handed the spear of the guard beside him to Li Shibin and said, "Du Shuai, this kind of musket is the latest developed by us and is still in the trial stage."

"Oh?" Li Shibin took the musket and looked carefully. He thought it was an iron pipe, but when he looked carefully, the material of the iron pipe was definitely made of top-grade steel, and the parts behind were extremely exquisite.

He frowned and said, "I wonder if I can equip the army with such a sharp weapon?"

He had been exposed to the storm before and knew that the many defects of the storm were, such as ignition with open flames, gunpowder was easily damp, limited power, and easy to explode, etc., which was basically equivalent to a one-time job.

But when he saw Zhang Wei's guards, he could take turns to shoot and attack the enemy like heavy rain. He didn't know if these defects had been solved, so he asked this question.

"This item cannot be mass-produced, the cost is extremely high, and its use is limited. If it is wet in the south or rainy in the north, gunpowder cannot be used!" Zhang Wei pointed to the musket and explained patiently.

The musket has not been finalized yet. Now, with the strength of the Yang family, it can be mass-produced. Moreover, the oil-paper-wrapped gunpowder has also solved the problem of moisture, but if it encounters rain, it is indeed unavailable.

Li Shibin nodded. He had seen a rifle gun in the army. Although the power was not as great as this, it should be almost the same as overall. He returned the musket with disappointment and said, "It's a pity. How much silver does this one cost?"

"It costs about twenty taels!" Zhang Wei slightly estimated that the cost of metal was about two taels of silver, all of which were good fine steel. In addition to manual and freight, it would cost about five taels. If sold to others, it would cost at least one hundred taels, but it would be cheaper to sell it to the Dayan army.

This price made Li Shibin a little silent. Twenty taels were almost a complete set of soldiers. He was thinking about whether it was worth it. He remembered the fire thunder used by Zhang Wei and the others, and said, "Can your fire thunder be mass-produced?"

"This is OK..." Zhang Wei said hesitantly: "Our fire thunder is made of gunpowder mixed with iron sand. Put it in a closed container and pull out the lead wire to ignite it, but it has no technical content."

To be honest, this is not without technical content. The Yang family's cannons, fire thunders and muskets are extremely powerful because of the gunpowder formula. If it is copied by others, it will be useful, but the power will be much smaller.

Li Shibin naturally didn't know what he was thinking, and secretly remembered these key points, and was ready to let his craftsmen make some fire and thunder. When he took the initiative to attack, he could catch his opponent off guard, at least he could frighten the cavalry's horses and mess up his position.

After thanking each other, the entire Jinming Village once again entered the intense defense. In the past two days, Li Shibin used the fine military armor sent by Zhang Wei to put the inadequate training new army into the defense line.

Not only did they barely withstand the fierce attack of Daxia, but after the baptism of the war, these new recruits also adapted to the rhythm of the front line and grew into veterans very quickly under heavy pressure.

A few days later, a battle that could have affected the situation in the Northwest War finally subsided. At this time, God seemed to be inclined toward Dayan, and it actually fell into thin snow. Even if it melted on the ground, Daxia still withdrew its troops.

With Zhang Wei's interference, he finally stabilized his position. Although the Thirty-Six Villages were broken by more than half, fortunately, the most important Jinming Village was like a nail, firmly wedged in place, making Daxia dare not take Yanzhou directly.

Li Shibin was a little scared. If Jinming Village was destroyed, Yanzhou would be in danger, while Daxia was so angry that he gritted his teeth. The smooth surrender and counter-espionage plan were cracked by the other party, which made them fail again this time and finally had no choice but to withdraw their troops.

The situation in Jinming Village had stabilized, and Zhang Wei and Zhao Yitong didn't want to stay any longer, so they came to Shuai Chan to say goodbye to Li Shibin and prepare to return to the capital.

After the two arrived at the tent of the coach, Zhao Yitong took the lead in salute and said, "Shishen, I have been delayed for many days in this trip, so it's time to say goodbye!"

Zhang Wei also echoed: "Shishou Du, Jinming Village is already safe. Lord Zhao and I have achieved great merits. I will say goodbye today!"

When Li Shibin heard this, he sighed and clasped his fists and said, "You two have not only sent troops to my Northwest Camp during this trip, but also personally helped us to defend the defense line. Mr. Zhang saved my life. This kindness Li must remember it in his heart!"

"There is no need to be like this," Zhang Wei waved his hand quickly, but Li Shibin interrupted, "Don't be polite anymore. Since the two are leaving, I will not stay for too long. But tonight, we will hold a big banquet to see you off!"

The two looked at each other, shook their heads slightly, and finally Zhang Wei said, "Thank you, Du Shuai, for your kindness. We plan to leave today. It's not a matter of duty for the Grand Marshal and all the soldiers!"

Now in the northwest front, Zhang Wei spoke better than Zhao Yitong, the special envoy. After all, he had been running around and checked for gaps and repaired for leaks, saving many people, not to mention that he had saved Du Shuai Li Shibin.

"This..." Li Shibin frowned. Knowing that the two of them had decided to leave, he stopped forcibly and said, "Since that's the case, I will no longer try to stay, but let me take the soldiers to see you off for you! Don't ask them about the young master, I will blame me for being unprepared!"

Then all the well-known soldiers in Jinming Village arrived, leaving only a few people on duty, and sent them all the way to the port. Zhang Wei turned around and folded his fists and said, "You are all heroes who guard the border for the country. It is a great honor for Zhang Wei to meet you on this trip. The so-called green mountains will not change, and the green water will flow forever. We will have a date in the future!"

"There will be a time later!" Dozens of people spoke in unison, all of whom were majestic martial artists, their voices were like gold and cracked stones, and the river trembled slightly.

Then they watched the two board the boat until they couldn't see the shadow of the boat clearly, and the soldiers returned together.

When the two returned, they went downstream, and they got on a lot faster than when they came. Soon they arrived at Hukou and replaced the Yang family's big ship. Zhang Weicai breathed a sigh of relief.

These days they were nervous in Jinming Village and couldn't even sleep well. Zhang Wei was also shocked when facing this kind of war scene for the first time.

There are more than 100,000 soldiers on the Yan State, relying on the village, on the defensive. There are also more than 100,000 troops on the Xixia side, and they are on the offensive. The cavalry cannot play a big role. They are like flesh and blood grinding, extremely tragic.

In just over a dozen days, both sides lost at least 20,000 to 30,000 people. According to this intensity, within two months, the army on both sides would collapse, and the comparison was about who could not bear it first.

Most of Li Shibin's subordinates were foreign soldiers, which were recruited from local tribes. In order to protect his home, he naturally would not give up easily. However, the Dangxiang in Daxia was almost all soldiers. If he could not invade the Central Plains, there would be danger of the collapse of the regime.

When training troops, they were all done, but in the end they were not sure of the winner. However, the result of this draw was that Daxia retreated and went back to recuperate, and Jinming Village would be supplemented soon after the loss.

This is a contest of national strength. Although the soldiers of Daxia are brave and far more than Dayan, there is a huge difference in national strength. Even if Dayan persists for a few more years, it will not be harmful. Daxia can only fight and stop. If Dayan takes advantage of the situation, it will probably die.

In fact, Zhang Wei guessed correctly that Daxia was facing a dilemma at this time, so Weiming Nanxiao also found another way out, which was the Liao Kingdom, which was evenly matched with Dayan.

Wei Ming Nanxiao wanted to gain a foothold in the northwest, but he was afraid that he would be unable to make a living by himself. However, if he formed an alliance with the Liao Kingdom, he would put the Yan in two sides. Even if he could not make contributions in one fell swoop, he could consume national strength. As long as the Liao Kingdom was not a fool, he would naturally agree to this matter and even provide certain support to the northwest.

Zhang Wei, who was on the boat, naturally didn't know about these things. He and Zhao Yitong went downstream and passed by Hukou for another three days. They saw the shadow of the capital from afar. They looked majestic and vast, which made people feel heart-wrenching.

As they got closer and closer, they both felt like they were in a different world when they saw the prosperous capital.

"Finally back!"

-------------------------------------

Military information is urgent to assist in defense,

All the generals are relieved in their hearts.

When the war has subsided,

Go down the capital and look down.
