"Bang Bang", Qi sergeants, in groups of three, with a wooden frame supporting a thick sleeve of "divine fire strike", are practicing shooting.

The three non-commissioned officers have a clear division of labor, and one non-commissioned officer is responsible for fixing the bracket; A sergeant stabilizes the gun and looks after the arquebus; One of the soldiers aimed and fired; And after the shot, the three of them immediately cooperated to add gunpowder and projectiles.

The earth-shattering thunderclap sounded that made the faces of Empress Xiao and Yi Lai, who were following behind Lu Ning, change color.

This is the small thunderbolt battalion of the Hebei Army.

The craftsmen of the Military Iron Division of the Bianjing Inner Government and the Qingzhou Military Iron Bureau finally imitated the "Divine Fire Strike" made by the Great Emperor, but compared with the "Divine Fire Strike" made by the Great Emperor himself, the sleeve is thicker, and the same amount of gunpowder has a slightly higher probability of exploding.

But in any case, Lu Ning was still very satisfied with this, without his own participation, the local craftsmen were finally able to forge heavy arquebuses.

Of course, this kind of heavy arquebus, like a small iron cannon, moves bulkyly, and requires the cooperation of three people to operate, Rao is so, and the rate of fire is also extremely slow, not to mention that it is a separate army, or as the main army, it is a large number of equipped with a one-quarter and one-fifth ratio, I am afraid that not only can not improve the combat effectiveness, it will inevitably be a drag, it is a weakening of combat effectiveness.

However, as an auxiliary armament, a small amount of equipment, with the main horse infantry army, can receive miraculous results.

Today, the first to be incorporated into a battalion of arquebuses is the Hebei Army.

The next battalion of arquebuses will not be rationed to the Beijing garrison.

In the order of the arquebus battalions, it will be the Hedong Army, the Beining Army, the Shanxi Army, the Jingshu Army, the Shaanxi Army and the Hezhong Army.

Who said that the northern region is now facing huge defensive pressure, and the Jingshu army is in the process of repairing.

And in this Xingcheng, there are two battalions of arquebuses, 1,000 soldiers, and 300 heavy arquebuses.

Xingcheng, Hebei army 40,000, of which 35,000 are soldiers and 5,000 are reserve soldiers,

In addition, the Shenwu army is 5,000, a battalion of small thunderbolts in front of the palace, and a battalion of Yan slaves.

A total of 46,000 military horses, holding here to meet the onslaught of the Khitan cavalry, to a large extent, relied on some tactical use.

Of course, the navy already has a garrison on Peach Blossom Island, and as an auxiliary army, it can also play a great role.

What's more, the most elite Khitan iron cavalry was lost in Youzhou, and now the cavalry it has assembled must be mainly light cavalry, sticking to the camp of rejecting horses, bows and crossbows and firearms, which can make them suffer enough, coupled with the naval strategy, it will not be cut off at all, but it can be here, dragging the Khitan people into the quagmire.

He would rather spend more time and resources than trade more soldiers' lives for victory.

……

However, the expected attack of Jerugunsagor did not come.

In this Xingcheng, nearly a month after the troops were stationed, Yelu Gangsage suddenly sent a messenger.

At that time, Lu Ning was summoning Jing Si, Yang Ye, and Wang Gui in the tent.

The first batch of Yulin Lang team leaders, the three of them who entered the Hebei Army.

Among them, Jing Si was the commander of the heavy armor battalion, Wang Gui was the commander of the Lianzhu cavalry battalion, and Yang Ye was the commander of the thousand-man battalion.

The battalion of 1,000 people is organized into a battalion with ten elite formations, and the military formation usually follows closely after the heavy armor formation, and is the elite battalion in the ordinary mixed battalion.

used to be a personal guard by his side, and he was born as a "martial artist" of the Son of Heaven in the eyes of outsiders, and it was understandable for Lu Ning to meet them alone.

The three of them sat on the floor separately, and they were all given good food and wine.

Next to Lu Ning's seat, kneeling and serving wine were Yi Lazy and Khitan princess Yelu and Classical.

Regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, before leaving the fortress, when he was in Youzhou, Lu Ning had already edicted laziness to be Baolin, of course, until now, he hadn't touched her, after all, she didn't care at all, she should be bitten by a mad dog with a look of contempt, which made people lazy to pay attention to her.

What's more, in Yingtianfu, Youzhou, Beijing, Lu Ning felt that he was separated from the outside of the world, as if as a Chinese person, those etiquette and morality had returned.

Although he never regretted doing things, he also accepted some ridiculous things when he was in Chengdewei, that is, his own nature exposed by the great pressure in the bloody battle.

But when he was in Youzhou, he even thought about sending the three princesses of Yelu to Bianjing, and they each promised to have a good family when they turned around.

For Yelu Nanxian, I also accompanied her to visit Beijing City, and I played with her in micro-clothes, which made Yelu Nanxian very happy, of course, at night, I also warmed up with her, this famous beauty in the Khitan tribe is indeed stunning, and Queen Xiao and her harem concubines are a level, there is a different style outside the Sai, it is very lovely.

Now that he has come to Xingcheng, he naturally sent Yelu Nanxian back to a safe place in Bianjing.

Moreover, although she led the three princesses of Yelu with her, she had no intention of violating them, and she took care of her own life, and as a princess of the Khitan royal family, she might not be able to say what it would be useful.

The same is true for Empress Xiao and Yi Lazy.

Zhao Yi is lazy for Baolin, hoping that Yelu Gong will get the letter, provoke this guy, make him bite him to death, and drag his main force to death in Xingzhou.

I just didn't want to, and suddenly there was a voice from Han Derang outside, "Your Majesty, Yelu Gangsage has sent a messenger." As he spoke, Han Derang hurried in.

Yi was lazy, and the snow-white slender hand that was holding the wine glass trembled immediately.

Oh? Lu Ning was slightly stunned.

After Han Derang came in, he came to Lu Ning's case, bowed slightly, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the ministers just took his words, as if there were several kings and important ministers in Shangjing Khitan, and they supported Yelu Ming. Only then did Yelu Sage intend to make peace with his father. ”

This time, it was Yelu and Classical who trembled slightly, and Yelu Mingyan was Yelu Xian, Yelu and Classical's younger brother.

Lu Ning was immediately overjoyed, this was what he wanted to see.

It's just that the current plague epidemic in Zhongjing has made such an important military situation in Beijing as possible, and no detailed work can be sent.

Similarly, it was the epidemic in the area of Zhongjing that made the connection between Shangjing and Tokyo inconvenient, and it was the Khitan princes and ministers in Shangjing who took advantage of Yelugang Sage to fight with themselves and supported Yeluxian in Shangjing.

And for Yelu Gangsage, this is naturally the most intolerable thing, so he wants to stop the army with himself first and quell the civil strife.

Because the plague could not go through the grasslands around Zhongjing, Yelu Gangsage wanted to crusade against the rebellion in Shangjing, so he had to go straight north into Baishan and Heishui and then west to Shangjing, and the battle was bound to be extremely tragic and time-consuming.

Therefore, Jerugang Sagar could only negotiate peace with himself.

But for himself, it is not much better to make the Khitan internal cannibalism and consume military power, but if he just watches, it will be a waste of this opportunity.

pondering, Lu Ning bowed slightly, "Okay, summon him to see him." ”

Han Derang bowed down and took the order.

Yi Lazy and Yelu and Classical couldn't help but look at each other, and their faces became strange.

After all, one is a husband and the other is a younger brother, but now, it has become a mortal enemy for the position of the lord of Liao.
