Chapter 999 Du Wusili's Ambition!

Chapter 999

In the distance, the Western Turks had long since disappeared, and Xue Qianjun's investigation soon came to fruition.

"Master Hou, it's not good! Master Chen Bin is gone! We searched the entire camp, but we couldn't find him!"

"What?!!"

Hearing these words, Wang Chong's face changed suddenly, and even Gao Xianzhi and Cheng Qianli who were beside him looked over, their expressions were completely different from before. Although they didn't know much about the generals under Wang Chong's command, they still knew the name Chen Bin. He is the commander of the chariot crossbow troops under Wang Chong's command, and he has great experience in commanding chariot crossbows. The same crossbow, in his hands, is completely different from other people's hands. In Wang Chong's army, this person is extremely important.

In this war, although he did not charge forward and fight on the battlefield like others, I am afraid that a considerable number of big cannibals, Uz Tibetans and Western Turks died in his hands. He deserves the most credit and is an extremely important key figure.

If this person is missing, the impact on Datang and even the entire Talas will be very great!

"Find it again for me! What about the city of Talas, have you searched the city? And..., call me the people from the Crossbow Troops! And the guards next to Chen Bin, don't they? Do you know where Chen Bin went?"

At the end, Wang Chong's voice became severe.

"yes!"

There was also a nervous look on the orderly's face. Lord Hou is rarely so strict, but everyone knows that Chen Bin's disappearance is a big deal.

The messengers went down quickly, and the entire army became busy and tense following Wang Chong's order. And Gao Xianzhi, Cheng Qianli, and the generals in the army were also waiting anxiously. Soon, the investigation had results, but this news was something that no one wanted to hear.

It has been confirmed that Du Wusili took one person with him when he retreated, and this person was Chen Bin! Because Chen Bin was injured while dealing with the giants of Cathay, he was lying on the ground, mixed with other wounded soldiers and corpses, so when Du Wusili left, he did not attract too many people's attention.

And then quite a few wounded were moved to the city of Talas and many places protected by heavy soldiers. The people of the Crossbow Troop thought he had been taken away too. Coupled with the chaos in the war, everyone was overwhelmed , There is no spare energy to pay attention to other things, so no one discovered the fact that Chen Bin was taken away for a while.

This news was like a heavy bomb, violently exploding in the hearts of everyone, and the atmosphere was oppressive and heavy for a while,

Even Zhang Shouzhi stood aside with a dignified expression.

"I don't understand. Du Wusili, known as the Sirius General, is one of the top three imperial generals in the Western Turkic Khanate. Why did he kidnap Chen Bin?"

Beside Cheng Qianli, Xi Yuanqing, the No. 3 figure in the Anxi Protectorate Army, interjected. He came here only when he got the news. What impressed him most about Chen Bin was the scene where he commanded the crossbow troops and efficiently and ruthlessly harvested the cannibalism scene.

Although his martial arts is not high, the ability he has demonstrated is beyond the reach of many generals who are stronger than him. It's just that he still doesn't understand why the majestic Sirius General kidnapped him.

"Could it be that Du Wusili wants to obtain the secret of the crossbow from Chen Bin and build a crossbow troop?"

Xi Yuanqing said.

"impossible!"

Zhang Shouzhi interrupted Xi Yuanqing before he finished speaking:

"The crossbow has always been the top secret of the Tang Dynasty. If you want to build a crossbow, you must have blueprints. You can't build it just by looking at the shape. At best, it's just a big iron crossbow, and the craftsman is in charge of the craftsman's affairs. The soldiers are in charge of the battlefield. Although Chen Bin is the wrong commander of the crossbow, he does not have the blueprint of the crossbow in his hand, so it is impossible for Du Wusili to obtain the secret of the crossbow through him."

"Moreover, the forging of crossbows requires a high level of forging and a complete forging system. This is not something that can be achieved by grassland empires like Western Turks. Even if they get the blueprints for crossbows, there is no use for heroes at all! Impossible forging Bring out any crossbow!"

Zhang Shouzhi's expression is resolute. In terms of forging, Zhang Shouzhi has absolute authority. Whether it is the construction of the Iron City or the launch of the heavy crossbow, Zhang Shouzhi's status in this world is at the height of the sky, and he is a well-deserved great master. Especially in the city of steel, Zhang Shouzhi completed the entire construction under the supervision. That magnificent masterpiece raised Zhang Shouzhi's status to the extreme and became a god-like existence in the minds of many craftsmen.

If he said that the Western Turkic Khanate could not forge the crossbow even if it got the blueprint, then this must be the case.

"But is it possible that the Western Turkic Khanate and the Great Cannibal will cooperate and plan to build a crossbow together?"

Another general of the Anxi Protectorate Army asked. Western Turks, Uzang, and the Great Cannibals are now in a three-party alliance. What everyone is most worried about is that if the Western Turks and the Great Cannibals unite, then this matter will not be good.

It is true that the Western Turkic Khanate could not forge the crossbow. They did not have that kind of forging technology and level, but the big cannibals were different. If they got the blueprint of the crossbow, they would definitely be able to forge it.

"impossible."

This time, before Zhang Shouzhi could answer, Gao Xianzhi shook his head, and was the first to veto this statement:

"The big cannibals are quite arrogant. They really clashed with us. It took only a couple of months to get in touch with the crossbow. At that time, the big cannibals and the Western Turks had not yet formed an alliance. In addition, the three-party alliance was just formed. They each have their own ghosts. In the current situation, the alliance of the three parties is far from deep enough to jointly forge the crossbow. Moreover, with Abu Muslim's style of work, I am afraid that what I hope is to see Until Du Wusili led the army to attack us together with Dashi, not just a blueprint of a crossbow. So this situation is absolutely impossible, at least Du Wusili did it, it is absolutely the same as Abu Muslim/Lin It doesn't matter."

"But if the Western Turkic Khanate can't forge the crossbow, and Du Wusili has never thought about cooperating with the big cannibal, then why did he kidnap Chen Bin?"

Xue Qianjun muttered to himself. Everyone who said a word fell silent. Chen Bin is the commander-in-chief of the crossbow troop. If Du Wusili is not for the crossbow, what else is he doing for it? No one can figure this out.

"Don't think about it, if Du Wusili didn't come here for the crossbow, then there is only one last thing left, Wushang cavalry!"

In the eyes of everyone, Wang Chong said the last four words.

In the entire Talas, the strongest forces of the Tang Dynasty, one is the efficient harvesting crossbow troop, and the other is the black-scarred cavalry armed to the teeth. If it is not the crossbow troop, the rest will be obvious.

"But, Wang Chong, isn't Chen Bin the commander-in-chief of the crossbow troop? If Du Wusili wants to attack Wushang cavalry, why should he be kidnapped?"

Gao Xianzhi frowned slightly, and said in doubt. The majestic Sirius General, who traversed the entire grassland and various frontiers, could not have made such a low-level mistake. At this moment, even Gao Xianzhi was a little confused.

"...Moreover, if Du Wusili wants to attack the Wushang Iron Cavalry, he can do it directly. Even if he covets the Wushang Iron Cavalry's extraterrestrial iron armor and Uzi steel sword, he doesn't need to take a person away. "

The fighting power of the Wushang Iron Cavalry is unimaginably strong, Gao Xianzhi, as the commander of the army, couldn't have failed to notice it. Moreover, Wang Chong never thought of hiding the secrets of the Meteorite Iron and Uzi Steel Sword from him.

"I'm afraid the problem with this matter is the armor."

When Wang Chong heard this, an imperceptible wry smile flashed across the corner of his mouth.

"All the generals under my command are equipped with extraterrestrial iron armor and Uzi steel swords, especially the generals, the equipment should be more sophisticated, even Wusili is not familiar with the composition of my army, he must have only noticed the black-scarred iron cavalry The special armor on his body, but he didn't pay attention to other parts. So Chen Bin was also regarded as a member of the Wushang Iron Cavalry. As for Du Wusili's purpose of robbing him, there is no accident, I am afraid it is for the formation and celestial phenomena."

"Buzz!"

At the beginning, everyone still looked astonished, but when they heard the word formation and celestial phenomenon, everyone's expression changed suddenly, and they suddenly understood something, especially Gao Xianzhi and Cheng Qianli, whose vision and insight far surpassed ordinary people, Naturally, he also understands the weight of the four words "array and celestial phenomena".

In an instant, Gao Xianzhi's heart sank. For a top commander like Gao Xianzhi, as long as Wang Chong said a part, Gao Xianzhi would understand everything else, needless to say.

"This matter is not good. The formation and celestial phenomena are not trivial. In fact, if you don't mention it after this battlefield is over, I would like to ask about it. It's no wonder that Du Wusili has taken a fancy to your formation and celestial phenomena. Sirius The iron cavalry is one of the three most powerful iron cavalry in the Western Turkic Khanate. If he is allowed to obtain the secret of the formation and celestial phenomena and raise the Sirius phantom formation to the highest level, I am afraid that it will be the most powerful one no matter it is now or in the future. We are the great enemy of the Tang Dynasty. Besides, I don't know much about your subordinates, but I still want to ask about one thing. Chen Bin is the commander of the Ballista Troop. Does he know about the Wushang Iron Cavalry Formation? ?”

Gao Xianzhi said with a serious expression.

"Know."

Wang Chong nodded:

"Before I established the Ballista Troop, he was actually one of the generals of the Wushang Iron Cavalry. He didn't say he knew all the secrets, but at least he knew more than 80% of them."

"Wang Chong, the Western Turkic Empire is a cavalry empire, and the use of formations is more than ours. If Du Wusili gets the secret of formations and celestial phenomena, and promotes them in the Western Turkic Khanate, you should understand what it means. So Rong Let me ask one more question, based on your understanding of Chen Bin, Du Wusili wants to know the secrets of the formation and celestial phenomena, will he succeed?"

Gao Xianzhi spoke very euphemistically, but his expression became more and more dignified. Du Wusili's plan was not small. As the top general of the Western Turkic Khanate and one of the most prestigious officials, what he planned was not only Raise a Sirius cavalry. The seriousness of this incident has surpassed the level of Chen Bin's captivity and the severe impact on the ballista troops, and has risen to the level of strategic contests between empires such as the Great Tang and the Western Turkic Khanate.

"well."

Wang Chong heaved a long sigh, raised his head slowly, and looked towards the east:

"What I'm worried about now is not that Du Wusili may get the formation and celestial phenomenon, but that he won't get it at all!"

Wang Chong said in a long voice, with a hint of deep worry in his voice.
