Chapter 133: Before the War

Just when Chu Xianzhao and Su Nianyu were enjoying the joy of fish and water on the bed, a majestic army appeared on the border of Gentian Pass, and the momentum was like the sunrise over the East China Sea.

This elite army in black armor, like a line of river tide, was born, it must be the most elite wind eagle iron cavalry of Dayin, the leading general scarlet cloak flutters in the wind, and the arrow feathers behind it are full of arrows, and this cavalry of nearly 20,000 people is stationed at the border of Gentian Pass at this time.

The iron cavalry stood out with the sound of swords and guns, Chu Ying looked up at the city in the fog in the distance, and when he looked down, he could see the Yan Fu army encamped on the plain, they made a big detour on this march, the fact that Meng Yu's guess was right, they expected in advance that the Yan Yu people would march faster than they arrived at Gentian Pass, this middle-aged general did not want to cross the Heavenly Soul Mountain to reach Jingnan City at all, but made it clear that he came to outflank Yan Yu's army.

For this reason, they specially slowed down the speed of the march, and the Yan Fu scouts they met along the way were slaughtered by them, and their bodies were burned and thrown into the river, in order not to expose their whereabouts to the Yan Yu people, for this reason, Meng Yu did not hesitate at all, as long as they arrived at the border, then the victory was still on the side of the Yin people, no matter whether the army of Shuyue appeared or not, they had a way to trample them into a pulp.

Previously, in the battle of the west, Meng Yu and Bai Yun came to fight side by side, and they didn't even need to greet each other at all, they had already tacitly changed their formations, and after Meng Yu's wind eagle iron cavalry shot a wave of overwhelming arrow rain on the flank of the western army, there were six thousand iron horsemen with momentum like a rainbow to find the opportunity, neatly draw their knives and rush into battle, as if cutting off the waist of the western cavalry formation, cutting it off!

Behind Chu Yingyang, under the white banner, the man sat overlooking the battlefield and asked softly, "I am finally willing to come out of the quilt and return to the battlefield, how do you feel now?"

"I'm wondering how my brother is?" Chu Ying looked up at the city in the distance and smiled softly.

"His Royal Highness the Third Prince is much braver than you. ”

"yes, yes, who called him my brother?"

A certain cavalryman nodded at Chu Ying: "Great prince, don't be greedy for merit when you go to the battlefield, otherwise His Majesty the Emperor will not be able to spare me." ”

Chu Ying was stunned for a moment, and laughed loudly.

......

......

An army of 100,000 Yan people descended on Gentian Pass.

The city was full of noise and boiling.

Siege tomorrow at the latest!

Qianxunyang, the owner of Jianyin Mountain Villa, visited the young prince who was famous in the Northern Regions.

Facing the middle-aged man whose status in the city was only that of the Sword Rain Pavilion Master, Chu Xianzhao put down the file in his hand, put on a polite posture, and greeted him with a smile.

The other party took the tea handed over by Chu Xuan, and without drinking it, he said straight to the point: "Your Royal Highness, if I tell you that the three thousand disciples of my Sword Hidden Mountain Villa are willing to go into battle to kill the enemy, instead of being in the city like the Sword Rain Pavilion, like a turtle with a shrunken head, can we have a place on the battlefield?"

"You entered the battlefield for the sake of the Korean and Chinese war exploits, and also to protect the people of this city?"

The other party put down the teacup: "Both, the latter is a little more ingredient." ”

Chu Xianzhao smiled indifferently: "I understand the owner's intentions, anything can happen on the battlefield, tomorrow the army of Yan Fu can attack the city, it is not a secret, I am not sure that I will be able to defend this city, the cultivation of the sword is extremely difficult, if you die on the battlefield, what a pity?"

Chihiro Yang said calmly: "Fart!"

Bai Yi stood at the door and waved his hand, Chu Xianzhao nodded and said softly, "I understand." ”

Chu instantly summoned the eyes of the man in front of him, and the other party returned the salute indifferently: "Don't say much, just tell me when to cut into the battlefield and kill whom." ”

"I need to

You leave some of your disciples to protect the women and children of the people in the city, and tomorrow, when the Yanfu people attack the city, I will provide you with a signal, and you can take your disciples into the battlefield at that time. ”

The man's tone was not wavering: "His Royal Highness the Prince is tired." ”

After saying this, the other party turned around and left, and after passing with the Empress of Shuyue, he made a simple salute.

Chu Xianzhao said softly: "Aunt Ning......"

The woman in white shook her head and said, "Aunt knows what you want to say, but Aunt can't watch Shuyue's soldiers and your soldiers kill each other." ”

Chu Xianzhao asked rhetorically: "Then have you ever thought about how I will explain to my father and emperor once you die in Gentian Pass, and what will I do with Xiao Ningning?"

The woman said in a cold tone: "I won't die here, I will die in Shuyue, in my own hometown." ”

But at the same time, he shook his head and said, "I can't let my daughter feel that I'm useless." ”

Chu Xianzhao blurted out: "Have you ever thought about what Xiao Ning wants, and what she wants the most?"

"All I know is that she's safe and happy with you, and if I die, you'll take care of her for me. ”

After speaking, the woman was silent, and the two were speechless for a moment, Chu Xianzhao took a deep breath: "Then go,"

The woman nodded.

"I need your help. Chu Xianzhao found Nangong Mingyue, the two walked on the streets of the city, Nangong Mingyue arranged the situation in the city at the rear of the city, and set up a camp tent for them, the artillery fire of the Yan people continued, the soldiers were not frightened by the terrible sound of artillery fire, and even lit a fire in the barracks to cook, Chu Xianzhao stopped in front of a pot of porridge and smelled the tempting fragrance.

"I've got everything you want me to prepare. Nangong Mingyue said, and handed a bowl of meat porridge to Chu Xianzhao, the other party took the meat porridge with a smile and drank it in a big gulp: "I'm sorry for you, Mingyue...... Sister-in-law. ”

"To be honest, I don't like Hua Youyue at all. The other man sighed.

"The teacher also told me privately that he doesn't like you, and you women like to speak ill of each other behind each other's backs. Chu Xianzhao quipped.

"Do you know that this woman likes you?" Nangong Mingyue smiled coldly, Chu Xianzhao was stunned for a moment, and shook his head: "Nonsense." ”

"No matter how domineering she behaves on the battlefield, she is also a woman, how can I not understand her mind?" she said, and led him to the dark tunnel.

"She can be my mother......"

"She's not that old, and you're not that young, and you both have similar personalities. Chu Xianzhao put on the fur coat that Nangong Mingyue took him, Chu Xianzhao put it on and took him to the cellar like a leather ball, the cellar was far colder and damp than she imagined, Chu Xianzhao didn't take a few steps to feel the biting cold, they were afraid of the underground under Jingnan City, originally this place was the wine cellar of a wealthy merchant of Yanfu before the Yin army occupied Jingnan City, and after being found by the soldiers who entered the city, the wine inside had been deserted, until now it was used by Nangong Mingyue to store some important war materials.

Chu Xianzhao held Nangong Mingyue with one hand and the damp wall with the other, their only light source came from the night pearl in Nangong Mingyue's hand, according to her, once this thing was exposed to direct sunlight, it would burn, and if it was illuminated with torches, it would kill both of them.

He looked at the wooden shelves inside, most of the jars had been emptied, and they were ready for war.

Chu Xianzhao carefully picked up one of the jars, and opened the stone lid, there was a pungent breath coming from it, Chu Xianzhao shook the jar slightly, and let the thing flow in the direction of his face, he was not afraid that it would splash on his face, this thing was extremely viscous, as Nangong Mingyue said, and even

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

It can be used on arrowheads, but it must be used at night when there is no sun, otherwise it will burn immediately when it is exposed to sunlight.

"Sister-in-law, this thing ......" Chu instantly turned around, a certain old man who was lying on his back was frightened, and the other party coughed lightly: "Let me explain it to you, Your Royal Highness the Third Prince." ”

"This is Lord Liu of the Jingnan City Firearms Supervision Bureau, this thing was invented by him, and I believe it will come in handy in the next war. Nangong Mingyue said that it was too cold in this cellar, even if she was wearing a snow fox white fur, she didn't want to go down, just stood at the entrance of the cave and looked at the two inside.

"This thing is very viscous, what will happen if it sinks into the water?" Chu Xianzhao asked.

"It melts, it's beautiful, it's like a butterfly. He seemed to come to this place often, his face was a little pale, the thin hair on his head was covered with a layer of white frost, as if he would fall down when the wind blew, and there were a few scorched spots on his face: "I name this substance Immortal Fire, Your Royal Highness the Third Prince." ”

"I heard from your city lord that this thing can burn in water, and I want to see it with my own eyes. ”

"Yes, this thing burns when it catches fire, we have tried it many times, it can even melt stones, let alone pig iron, the only way to extinguish the flame is to put sand on the combustible, and we can't find any other way to extinguish it. ”

"And we found that if you apply a thin layer to the sword, the blade can burn, and the flame sword made by this is extremely lethal, but because it consumes too much of a sword, and ordinary swords are burned out quickly, if it is a Fallen God Steel Sword, it can burn forever. Nangong Mingyue said.

"You should have told His Majesty the Emperor earlier. Chu Xianzhao pointed out, and the other party shook his head: "To be honest, I still don't know whether the appearance of this thing is right or wrong, and I feel that this thing should be destroyed, after they made this thing, you can't imagine how panicked I was, and then I thought about it, maybe it could be used to deal with the Yan Fu people, and finally I insisted that they make three thousand jars and pile them up under the city in case of emergency." ”

"I have to say – you're doing a great job. Chu Xianzhao put the jar back, "Where is most of the immortal fire now?"

Nangong Mingyue said in a deep voice: "We brought the wooden boat overnight last night, it can be used at any time, it only takes a little fire to burn completely, we only need to light a can...... It's horrible. ”

"How many cans do we have at the moment?"

"Originally, there were 3,000 cans, but later I asked them to process them overnight to get 3,000 cans out. ”

Chu Xuanzhao didn't know whether to be excited or afraid, maybe both: "Okay, Lord Liu, I hope that these six thousand cans of immortal fire can play their due role, I don't want any accidents to happen, especially I don't want my soldiers to be accidentally injured by this terrible thing, do you understand what I mean?"

"Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, please rest assured, there are absolutely no accidents. This kind of thing comes from the gunpowder of the Yanfu people, and the manufacturing process of this kind of thing has been closely monitored by us, and there will be no problems in terms of quality. ”

Chu Xianzhao really wanted to see the manufacturing process of this kind of thing for himself, and wanted to see if it could be used on a bow and crossbow, the imagination of a child of his age was always endless, but now is not the right time, let's wait until the war is won.

After staying for half an hour, the two walked out of the cold cellar, Nangong Mingyue has been following him, although she can't go into battle to kill the enemy, but she gets up earlier than the soldiers every day, and trains in the army with the guards, even those soldiers of the Yinguo who have experienced a hundred battles, they can't help but admire her diligence, in the minds of the soldiers, her status is even higher than Hua Youyue.

"When we win the war, you can go back to Lin'an City. Chu Xianzhao said suddenly.

The woman hummed lightly.
