Chapter 161
Wu Chen nodded slightly to Yue Lin, and then he took Yue Lin's hand and walked out step by step, moving very slowly, walking between the tents all over the mountains, as if on the dirt road path of Yanyi, occasionally one or two weeds stood in the middle of the road, and he asked in a voice as calm as possible: "Are you all okay in Yanbei?" Be honest! β
"Okay, you see we all made the cannons I told you, can we make them?!" Yue Lin's voice was a little choked, and he told Yanbei about the situation again, how many people in Yanbei City were sent to the battlefield, and how many families endured the pain of separation.

Finally finished talking about Yanbei, Wu Chen nodded slightly, brushed Yue Lin's cheek with his hand and said: "Yue Lin, thank you for your hard work, finally we came out of Yanyi and became Yanbei, but I didn't expect that I had been fighting here, I was useless, otherwise Abba wouldn't have ......"
"No, it's not your fault, it's just that Carthage was too powerful at that time." Yue Lin shook his head and said in a low voice: "Now that we have artillery, don't be afraid, this war will end soon!" Soon we will be able to break through the gates of Carthage and put an end to this war. β
Wu Chen nodded slightly, knowing that Yue Lin was comforting himself, he stared at Yue Lin for a long time before saying, "Fortunately, I met you, it's good to have you with me." β
Wu Chen was like a tired beast, he put away all his sharp fangs, leaned his head against Yuelin's shoulder socket, revealing his most vulnerable side, and said slowly, word by word, as if he had exhausted all his strength.
Yue Lin patted Wu Chen's back and comforted: "I will always be with you." In any case, we must win this time, and only by winning can the soldiers return to their hometowns and be reunited with their parents, wives and children. β
"Let's go, go see the cannon I made, made for you." Yue Lin smiled and took Wu Chen's hand, the two of them clasped their fingers, passed through the tent like a small mountain bag, and finally saw the cannon transported by the Yanbei people on an open plain.
The pitch-black cannon is composed of a cannon body and a gun carriage, and the tail of the cannon is a channel used to fill the shells, just like an ancient red-coated cannon.
Seeing the arrival of Yue Lin and Wu Chen, Gou Ba took a step back, now the situation in the cities of Zhongzhou is not good, even Gou Ba, who is the city lord, is also coerced to go to the battlefield in person, if it is not for Wu Chen's proper command on the battlefield, I am afraid that many people have died in the hands of the Carthaginian rebels.
Gou Ba politely asked Yue Lin and Wu Chen, "This is the weapon you said was very lethal?" How to use it? β
Wu Chen turned his head to look at Yue Lin on the side, Yue Lin nodded knowingly, clapped his hands with his hands, and suddenly the two Yanbei soldiers controlled in front of the cannon.
"Let's get started."
As soon as they heard the command, the two soldiers immediately ignited the yin line of artillery fire, and suddenly accompanied by a boom, a black shadow gushed out from the mouth of the pipe, as fast as lightning, and quickly flew out of an extremely long distance, and then exploded on the ground, and suddenly the land collapsed and cracked, and a huge crater appeared on the ground!
Fragmented shrapnel was everywhere.
"This ...... That's terrible, isn't it? What is this thing called? Gou Bazhan looked at Yue Lin and Wu Chen tremblingly, and asked repeatedly.
"Cannon."
"Cannons? Cannon! Gou Ba muttered, and looked at the cannon reluctantly.
"I really want to see what you have in your head! I still remember the bed crossbow you invented, this one is even more powerful than the bed crossbow! Gou Ba exclaimed in surprise and jumped around the cannon.
"With it, we can definitely win!"
After seeing the power of the cannon, this group of Zhongzhou city lords who were still wavering and hesitant suddenly made a decision, and they were forced to participate in the war by Carthage until now, they have long been tired of this kind of aimless war, a war that has nothing to do with them.
The cannon seems to be a powerful tranquilizer, which immediately calms everyone's hearts!
At this time, the tent was brightly lit, Yue Lin and Wu Chen sat at the table, the two were relatively speechless for a long time, Wu Chen took out the military intelligence report and read it carefully, the man who has been arranged in the forefront these days is more than skilled in commanding the war, looking at the information in his hand, and carefully studying tomorrow's battle plan.
The situation in Carthage is now almost clear, the rebels have been suppressed, after a winter of war, with countless casualties, the rebels are very tired without the support of the treasury.
Wu Chen looked at the news from Carthage in his hand and looked at Yue Lin, and finally decided not to tell Yue Lin about Wu Chan, was silent for a moment, and set the note in his hand on fire and turned into ashes.
The night was lonely, and a rebellion against Carthage in Zhongzhou finally kicked off with the first sound of the cannon!
The wolves also played their unique role in the war, and they seemed to have a natural advantage over the cavalry!
What makes Wu Chen feel relieved is that so far Zhongzhou has declared war on Carthage for a short time, but the war is going well, since he led Zhongzhou to resist, plus Carthage's rebel forces, Carthage's troops are difficult to block the attack of the two forces, and it has shown defeat.
The thunder, thunder, drums, and roars of the battlefield - like the horn of a duel, the heart-rending sound of a song of triumph was played.
Three months later β
Hearing that the Yanbei Army annihilated all the main forces of Carthage near the Huai River, the old man on the high seat couldn't help but be indignant, and said angrily: "What the hell is Bo Jilie doing this? Carthage is in turmoil at this time, I'm afraid there is really no longer the strength to resist, is Carthage going to be destroyed at my hands? β
"Elder Dai, what should we do now?"
Dai Shi was not angry in his heart, and then looked at Bo Jilie, and said in his heart: "Is it all because of this Bo Jilie?" The government of Bo Ji Fierce Tyranny has long been difficult for the people in Carthage, do you want to continue to help Bo Ji Lie at this time? Did you already know about this, so you never came back? β
Witch, do you want to see the Carthage you built with your own hands disappear into history? Why give the ancient country to others? Why should I fall on my knees at the soles of others' feet? Witch, why haven't you come back yet?!
He was still drinking, and when he heard the news, he first laughed, then whimpered and cried, crying, laughing and laughing as if he was crazy.
"Do you still have the heart to drink?"
"Drink, drink......"
Seeing Bo Jilie's appearance, Dai Shi, who rushed to see Bo Jilie, was furious, this is the iron-blooded general who used to be? Now it looks like a puddle of mud! Could it be that we were the ones who killed Duke and put Wu Chan in the dungeon?
"Incorrigible!" Dai Shi glared at the drunken Bo Jilie. sighed lightly: "Bo Jilie, do you know that the Yanbei people are coming, and you are going to die at the hands of the barbarians?" β
At this time, Dai Shi had already made a decision in his heart, he stared at Bo Jilie for a long time, he knew that even if Bo Jilie had already caught Wu Chan at this time and successfully defeated Wu Chan, he could be regarded as sitting firmly in his position as marshal, but Carthage was extremely empty at this time, and the army on the Qi River was already the last elite of Carthage, which means that as long as the current wolf king galloped here, no one in Carthage could resist him!
The wolf king is about to take revenge, to avenge his father Wuyang.
Dai Shi's mind sank, and he sighed faintly: "Although Wu Chan lost and was imprisoned by you in the Kaigu Temple, this year's war alone has left Carthage devastated, and there is no combat power at all, the wolf king is coming, you killed his father back then, he will not let us go." β
When Bo Jilie heard this, he immediately smashed the wine glass in his hand, pointed at Dai Shi and scolded angrily: "At the beginning? How was it in the beginning? Kill it, kill it, don't you have your support for this matter? What's the point of saying that I'm not at this point? If it weren't for the two of you, how could Wu Chan let go of the Wolf King and that damn witch? β
"There is only interest between us. At the beginning, Wu Chan and his family were evenly matched with us, who knows if they will fight back, and now you are just cleverly catching Wu Chan, otherwise how can you get drunk and die here? It's a pity that once they come, do you think there are still people in Kaiguri who are their opponents? β
"Hehe, Wu Chan, but his subordinates are defeated."
Bo Jilie said in a disdainful tone: "Are you afraid? β
Hearing this, Master Dai brushed his sleeves away.
Bo Jilie looked at the empty hall, swept by the wolf king's army in Carthage, now the defeat is out, losing this war is only a matter of time, soon the wolf king's army will attack Kaigu, and the territory he has at this time is only - a Kaigu.
Bo Jilie smiled, and he said, "But once you die, none of you will want to escape!" β
Under the command of Wu Chen, his army galloped invinciblely in this tired Carthage, attacking all the way forward.
"Report!"
A soldier hurried down the hall, furious.
Bo Jilie held his drowsy head.
"News came from the front of the army. Barbarians and rebels led their armies. They have crossed the Qi River and are coming to the ancient capital of Kaigu! β
"What!" Bo Jilie was awakened by this burst of news, his face turned pale, and he said in a trembling voice: "What...... How is this possible?! Can you confirm that this is true? β
The person who came to report slammed his head and said loudly: "The pre-military urgent report said so." β
"The Wolf King has come back for revenge?"
At the same time, Dai Shi, who was at home, also received the news.
Master Dai hurriedly walked around the house twice, stood still, and hurriedly shouted, "Let the elders all go to the Kaigu Temple!" β
β¦β¦
In Kaigu's cell, Wu Chan was unkempt at this time, sitting in the corner wearing a tattered dress, he sighed that the world is impermanent, but he didn't expect that he still lost to Bo Jilie, even if he made a comeback, he was still defeated, defeated in the hands of that group of fickle villains!
I didn't see the majestic Wu Chan who was just back in Carthage, and he looked embarrassed at this time.
A ray of sunlight fell from the window on the stone wall of the temple of Kaigu, and the sunlight shone on his brow, and the mud could not hide his brow, and his beautiful face was like a sculpture of the Creator.
Wu Chan, who has not died for a long time, has already had an idea in his heart, I am afraid that Bo Jilie wants to kill himself every day, but it is a pity that those villains are still like grass on the wall, carrying their careful thoughts.
Wu Chan has a special identity, because Duke was assassinated and his army was captured, he is the only one in this dungeon, because this is a time of war, and he may not be able to see a living person in a day or a night.
He was angry that he listened to others, listened to the words of this group of villains for his own interests, and the person who once instigated him was not now turned to the arms of others?
After thinking for a moment, those images appeared one by one, and he snapped, and then closed his eyes in a daze and dozed off, like an old man who was hammering.
A footstep came, Wu Chan did not open his eyes, because at this time he was no longer interested in the battle situation outside, but vaguely from the jailer's mouth can occasionally know some news from the outside, such as Wu Chen led the Zhongzhou people to resist, and with powerful weapons, he killed all the way, and he was about to fight to Kai Gucheng.
With a bang, the cell door opened.
The person who came stood in front of him, wearing a witch robe, obviously not the ordinary jailer, Wu Chan looked at the other party's cheeks like tree bark, looked carefully, and said calmly: "Finally want to kill me?" β
The two looked at each other for a long time, and then Dai Shi smiled slightly and said, "How is Lord Wu Chan doing lately?" β
Wu Chan heard the words and said, "I'm all here, what else can I do??" β
Seeing that Wu Chan was calm, Dai Shi smiled and said: "Actually, I am here to invite you out, we listen to Bo Jilie's words, if we had chosen the great lord, I am afraid there would be no such thing as now." β
"Huh." Wu Chan squinted his eyes, and he had a bottom in his heart, I was afraid that the old guy in front of him had something to find him.
"Now that Bo Ji Lie is drunk all day long, I hope you can take him in his place, become the Marshal of Carthage, and defeat the incoming Wolf King rebels."
Wu Chan suddenly laughed out loud when he heard this, "I understand, I understand, the wolf king is here, and Carthage has long been beaten by civil and external wars to the point that only an empty shell remains!" You people can't help it! Hahaha! β
The old man just looked coldly at Wu Chan, who was laughing loudly, and said, "Yes, the wolf king has indeed come back." β
"Wu Chan doesn't have to be you, but I think that if you kill the ancient city of Bo Ji Lie, you may be able to unite and resist for a while, even if Bo Ji Lie himself goes into battle, it's not impossible! It makes no difference to me. But you, if you reject me at this time, I will make your life worse than death. β
"What do you want me to do?"
"Kill Bo Jilie, take the army of Kai Gucheng to fight with the wolf king, and buy time for the people."
Wu Chan sneered when he heard this, and said disdainfully: "I'm afraid it's to give the family time to escape, right?" β
Dai Shi said slowly: "It's good that you know. β
Wu Chan's face was cloudy. A pair of eyes stared at Dai Shi, and for a long time, his eyes flashed. Only then did he whisper from his throat like a squeezed voice: "Okay." β
"Very well, then let our new marshal meet your army now!"
The corners of Wu Chan's mouth hooked upward, and he smiled without a trace.
Are you really going to be able to toy me with applause again? Duke's death has nothing to do with you guys?
As soon as he got out of the cell, it was different from the dark and damp in the cell, the sun was shining, Wu Chan's eyes were a little unsuitable for such a strong light, but he did not bow his head, and after getting used to the abundant sunlight, he greedily looked at the full sun.
The soldiers in battle armor were kneeling on the ground one after another, and they were all familiar faces.
"Meet the marshal."
When I saw Wu Chan, he looked at them. A general-like man took a big step forward from the queue and said, "Marshal, please, put on his armor!" β
Wu Chan stood there motionless, almost like a statue carved in stone, as if he had stood there since ancient times.
He stood in front of the splendid palace, this door was like an eternal chasm, and he turned his eyes to look at the great nobles who followed him, and a sneer flashed in his eyes.
His heart was turning a thousand times at the moment.
Behind this door is his enemy, but the people around him are not right?
He walked into the gorgeous hall step by step, only to see the man on the high platform drinking and holding a stunning beauty in his arms, and Bo Jilie was not panicked when he saw the comer, all of which was obviously expected by him.
"Do you know why they let you out?" Bo Jilie came to the last sentence without a beginning or an end.
Wu Chan looked at his opponent, because of the fierce competition between the great lord and this high platform, his life has been up and down since then, like a ship on the waves, rising and falling with the waves.
In the past, he was just one of the small witches in the Kaigu Temple, and he never thought of getting involved in the marshal dispute, but then he was exiled and struggling, and then he was held to a high platform by the surrounding nobles, and the two fought to the death.
"Yes."
Bo Jilie sneered, "Then you are going to do things for them now?" Kill me? β
Wu Chan sneered and said, "No, I'm for myself, kill you!" β
"Good!"
Bo Jilie didn't laugh angrily, he raised his glass to Wu Chan, and said quietly: "Everyone says that I am cruel and unreasonable, but who knows that I am just a puppet in the hands of this group of people?" You too! β
"You and I are ridiculous, from now on, this continent will only remember that the war provoked by the two of us led to the destruction of the ancient kingdom of Carthage, did you know that all this was done by them, this group of people?!"
"I don't deny my sin."
Bo Jilie's voice grew quieter.
Bo Jilie walked down the high platform and approached Wu Chan, Wu Chan's subordinates suddenly looked at Bo Jilie vigilantly, sharpened their knives, and gritted their teeth when they looked at Bo Jilie's eyes!
"Before I die, I want to testifyβ"
Bo Jilie walked up to Wu Chan, and immediately turned around, he opened his arms, and said with a hideous expression: "Witness - the death of the Carthaginian nobles!" β
"Soldier!" As soon as this cry came out, a group of soldiers came out of nowhere, holding halberds, and surrounded Dai Shi and other nobles!
Dai Shi and the others' expressions changed greatly!
Hurriedly grabbed Wu Chan for help, and said impatiently: "Wu Chan kill them, kill Bo Jilie!" β
Wu Chan raised his eyebrows, laughed, and wrote lightly: "When you die, Bo Jilie will naturally come to accompany you." β
Bo Ji laughed so hard that he almost couldn't breathe, "Die, die!" β
The sharp sword in his hand was stained with red blood, and the blood slid down his blade, like a devil coming out of hell.
Behind him were corpses all over the ground, and he was the great nobles of Carthage and the former Marshal of Carthage......
Wu Chan fell to his knees in vain.
"Eyes of eternal life, heart of courage, I follow the agreement between you and me, and continue to walk, have you ever seen me in the arms of the ancestral gods?"
The army outside the city is eyeing it.
Tomorrow and tomorrow, where will I be born?
Where is it now?
Wu Chan looked at Kai Gucheng, he really wanted to untie the burden of this body, this war started by Carthage must have someone to bear the consequences of all this, and the people who started it all died.
Bo Jilie died.
The nobleman who wanted to run away died.
"Lord Wuzen......"
Yi Feng stood in front of Wu Chan, he was one of the few people who had followed Wu Chan since a long time ago and was still alive, Jian Zan had already died in the hands of Bo Jilie when Wu Chan was arrested, Yi Feng knelt on the ground, touched the ground with his forehead, and was silent for a long time.
"Now that the Wolf King's army is coming to the city, what can you do?"
All the people present were silent, and there was no breath.
Wu Chan turned around suddenly, not waiting for the answer of the person behind him, he walked into the courtyard, and then walked up to the tallest tower in the ancient city of Carthage, looking down, and could vaguely see the hurried steps of pedestrians.
Looking at it for a long time, Wu Chan bowed his head and brushed his sleeves.
Anyone in their right mind knows that Carthage is finished.
Wu Chen rode a horse and stood in front of the gate of the ancient city of Kai, behind him was his army, suddenly full of pride, the howl of wolves was in his ears, the previous pictures flashed in front of his eyes one by one, and turned to look at the people around him, along the way, after several twists and turns, after several hardships, the people around him have always been him, he looked at the person, bowed slightly, looked at each other and smiled.
They had waited too long for this day.
"Today, according to the promise of the year, I will take you to break through the gate of the ancient kingdom of Carthage with my army, and I hope that the deceased will witness in the arms of the ancestral gods - today's battle."
This war has long been decided because of the advent of artillery, or because of the popular will.
Wu Chan walked out of the city gate, his expression was indifferent and calm.
After a long time, he slowly walked in front of Wu Chen and the others, looked at Wu Chen with a complicated expression, and then looked at Yue Lin who was being protected by people on the side.
After a long time, a smile appeared on his face and he said, "Finally, you are here." β
He looked at the army behind Wu Chen, and then said: "They are all dead, Carthage owes you an explanation, and I will pay you back with the lives of all the nobles of Carthage......
Wu Chen frowned when he heard this, he didn't come out of Bo Jilie but Wu Chan?
He wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.
Wu Chan held a sword in his hand and killed himself before the two armies!
"Don't!" I only heard an exclamation from the young man on the high platform who had never looked at him, and Wu Chan closed his eyes.
If I had known you, the beginning could have been a little better.
If I fall in love with you, you can love me.
That's perfect.
In the first year of Yanbei, the ancient kingdom of Carthage was destroyed, and the Zhongzhou Yanbei Dynasty was established.
