Su Lu sat behind the handsome case, looked at the stewed rabbit meat and fried vegetables that Changning had just served, and then looked at Changning sitting on the chair, and asked suspiciously.

"What, the rabbit who killed you is crying in distress?"

Changning snorted and laughed, tears rolling on his cheeks, I don't know if it was because of sadness or joy.

"You're in tears."

"I met an old man who sold vegetables, and I thought of the things at home, when I was a child, my family was poor, and there were many children in the family, so my father went to the streets and alleys to sell some vegetables and radishes grown in the field to supplement his livelihood, and there was still no money in this family, and my father was tired and bent over."

Su Lu took a sip of soup, and his cheeks were full of sighs: "Yes, if the government doesn't act, everyone's life is not easy." ”

Changning suddenly burst into tears and laughed, and said proudly: "Then you are wrong, my lord, since Your Majesty took office, with the support of your unified army, a lot of improvements have been promoted, just potatoes and sweet potatoes, so that there are no more people starving to death in our Han Kingdom." ”

"My father doesn't worry about eating and drinking at home now, my eldest brother's family has six children, all of whom are growing well, if there are no potatoes and sweet potatoes, who can eat enough."

Cao Hua came in from outside, holding a military booklet in his hand, and he said it when he heard it.

"Yes, we are there too, my family life was not easy when I was a child, my grandfather offended the people in the clan, although his surname was Cao, but he was excluded by the clan, and he could only live on a meager amount of silver, and then the master came, changed the money, and my father's silver was higher, and life was better."

Speaking of this, Cao Hua's eyes suddenly turned red, and he remembered his dead father, who had been running around for the family's livelihood all year round, and he hadn't seen his father a few times before he died in battle.

Holding back his sadness, Cao Hua continued: "Later, I joined the army, and my family's life got better, and those poor relatives in the past, because of potatoes and sweet potatoes, no longer came to my house to disturb, and I moved to the capital in recent years, so there is less disturbance." ”

"This is the new army that we have integrated and trained in the past few months, and there is a steady stream of baggage supplies from the rear, most of which are potatoes and sweet potatoes."

Cao Hua said helplessly, there is little land in the Han Kingdom, and there are many barren mountainous areas, and the only suitable for planting are potatoes and sweet potatoes.

Su Lu nodded: "It's good to have sweet potatoes and potatoes to eat, you pick fat and thin like this, be careful that you won't have to eat potatoes in the future." By the way, don't let go of the lieutenant training and the new army training, you can't let Dong Ling do it alone, you can also intervene in it, and see how Dong Ling did it. ”

Cao Hua nodded: "Watching Captain Dong do things these days, I have also learned a lot. ”

"Master, when will we start, these days there are more and more people who have fled from the direction of the two cities of Xunrang and Qinglin, and they all say that the barbarians of the two cities are cruel and almost do all kinds of evil."

Su Lu casually agreed: "In this way, the new army is almost completely trained, you and Wang Si will lead an army to the west, along the avenue, sweep the villages and towns near the left of these two cities, and drive out the remnants of the barbarians." ”

Cao Hua received the order, and just as he was about to go out, Lu Zhan hurriedly came in.

"Governor, the Tessians have arrived outside the city."

Su Lu pushed away the rice bowl and walked out.

"Let's go, go and see, see what the Tessie want to do."

The group left the camp and arrived at the head of the city of Xicheng, where they saw a group of Taixi sergeants outside the city, and two flying birds flying in the air, but the appearance of this bird has changed a lot, there are more wings on both sides, and the shape of the wings has also changed.

Su Lu turned his head and ordered: "Go, call the people of the Flying Bird Battalion, and order them to draw these down, and let the people from the Ordnance Department go back to study and study, and see if the improvement in this direction will make the flying birds faster and fly higher." ”

A herald took the order.

The shouts of the Tessians rang out from below.

"Listen, people at the head of the city, I am General Rotley, a subordinate of His Excellency Roberts, the former Minister of War of His Majesty the Emperor of the Taixi Empire, and I have been ordered to come and present the credentials, please pass the word to the prince of Sulu, and ask him to come and receive the credentials in person."

As he spoke, he saw that the birds in the sky suddenly moved, and came towards the city.

"Birds Aiming for the Sky"

Cao Hua next to him waved his hand and ordered.

The ballistas and bed crossbows at the head of the city raised their heads, and the dark arrows slanted upward, ready to shoot as soon as the bird approached the wall.

"Put"

As soon as the bird entered the shooting, Cao Hua waved his hand without hesitation.

"Whoosh"

Ballistas and bed crossbows poured out crossbow arrows, and the sky above the city wall was instantly covered with black arrows.

"Jingle Bell"

There were all kinds of noises, and the power of the crossbow arrows was insufficient, and when they were shot at the birds, most of them could only sink into the surface of the arrows, and they could not enter again.

"Bang Bang"

The ballista was finally fired, and the thick crossbow bolts bombarded the bird, and the originally steady bird immediately trembled.

"Bang Bang Bang"

More than a dozen ballistas at the head of the city were fired at the same time, and the birds began to sway in the violent crash.

"Stop"

"Stop, you're offending my Tessie Empire."

The Taixi army under the city turned pale, but he still shouted at the top of his voice.

"Boom"

The bird finally disintegrated, and fell to the ground with a bang, and a large part with arrows fell to the ground, and the two bird soldiers were full of arrows, and fell to the ground, and the dead could not die again.

"You are going to be the enemy of my Tessie Empire!"

The Tessie army shouted angrily, sat on his horse, pointed his whip at the head of the city, and shouted and cursed.

Cao Hua's face turned cold, his arm pointed downward, and the gōng nǔ at the head of the city immediately turned around and pointed to the Taixi military general under the city.

"You're going to cut yourselves off from me, Tessie."

Pointed at by countless clusters of arrows, the general's scolding and scolding were swallowed into his stomach.

Su Lu looked at the annoyed Taixi general, and asked while holding on to the battlements.

"What is your name, and in what part of the Tessie, in any ministry?"

With Su Lu's questioning, the sound of a squeaky bowstring trembling sounded at the head of the city, which was the sound of the crossbow arrow in a state of activation, the bowstring opened to the maximum, and the machine was produced.

The face of the Taixi army was pale, and he knew that if he was not careful, he might become the one who died in the two countries' wars.

"General McMahon, the Eastern Expeditionary Corps of the Taixi Empire, and the commander of the 100-man Regiment of the Qin Army."

Su Lu nodded and continued: "You came this time to threaten me Su Lu is coming, if I don't listen to your threat, will you Taixi people send an army to attack Fangcheng?" ”

McMahon's face turned whiter, how the fuck would I answer.

I said yes, if you are angry, you may kill me, anyway, I will be attacked soon, and it doesn't seem to be a big deal to cut me off.

I said no, this is special, it's too morale for the other party, the key is how to go back to the general, saying that I am afraid of death, so I said that the empire does not dare to attack Fangcheng, damn, the general will definitely behead me.
