Chapter 328: The Clouds of War

The living dinosaur people were captured, and the soldiers gathered up the bodies of their fallen comrades and carefully placed them on the beach.

"How many people were killed?" Blackhorn asked.

"General soldier, we lost more than a hundred brothers and dozens of people were slightly wounded." The soldier in charge of counting the casualties replied.

Black Horn nodded and said, "How many or prisoners?" ”

"Twenty-four in all."

Looking at the dead soldiers, Black Horn looked a little sad, "Take them down and take care of them, write down the names of the dead brothers, and keep the bodies with ice." ”

The people of Harbor City were panicked, anxiously waiting for the news ahead, and Feng Yu stood at the head of the city and kept looking at the seaside, from the rumbling explosions before, he could hear how tragic the battle situation on the front line was.

A dragoon, flying quickly from afar, landed on the city wall.

Feng Yu hurriedly ran over and asked, "How is the battle?" ”

"Back to the county order, our army has successfully repelled the enemy, and the general army is cleaning up the battlefield." The dragoon said respectfully.

Feng Yu breathed a sigh of relief, only to find that his back was completely wet with sweat, and he suddenly felt cold when the breeze blew.

"What about the casualties?" Feng Yu asked.

"Many brothers died, and the general soldier asked the county commander to immediately dispatch doctors to the front line to treat the wounded."

Feng Yu nodded, and hurriedly instructed the officials below to gather all the doctors in the city and rush to the front line immediately.

As the bells rang a few times, the people of the harbor, knowing that the victory ahead, the crowd immediately cheered, the army of the Xia Kingdom did not disappoint them, even if those enemies from the sea were very strong, as long as there was an army in them, they would be safe.

People rushed to tell each other and share the joy of victory.

With the return of the army, the people who went out of the city to greet the soldiers were dumbfounded when they saw those strange enemies, and thought that the enemy attacking their country was some unknown human force, but they didn't expect it to be these ugly-looking monsters in front of them.

The cheers stopped abruptly, and the people looked at the dinosaur people in fear, and when the army escorted the group of captives past, the people along the way subconsciously took a few steps back.

More than two dozen dinosaur people lowered their heads and walked slowly forward under the drive of human soldiers.

Yancheng, when he saw the wolf smoke rising from the east, Wang Lang's heart sank, and the only people who could make the current Xia Kingdom light up the wolf smoke were those threats from the alien civilizations of the rest of the continents.

Not knowing what was going on in the east, Wang Lang immediately summoned the high-ranking officials of the Xia State to go to the palace immediately.

In the main hall, the ministers who came in a hurry were panicked and didn't know what was going on.

With Wang Lang's arrival, everyone quieted down.

Wang Lang glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice: "There is wolf smoke lit in the east, there should be an enemy invading the Xia Kingdom from the sea." ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers were in an uproar, and Lin Huo got up and said, "Your Majesty, are they those dinosaur people?" ”

Wang Lang nodded and said: "It should be them, everyone, the peace is over, from today onwards, the Xia Kingdom has entered a state of war, everything is prioritized by the army, and the adult men of the Xia Kingdom are ordered to be ready to be conscripted into the army at any time." ”

After speaking, he looked at Lin Huo and said, "The military department is still in the book!" ”

"The minister is here!"

"Dispatch troops from all over the country to assemble, deploy defenses along the coastline, recruit another 30,000 new soldiers from the civilian population into the army, immediately begin training, and order all localities to organize militias and defend the areas under their jurisdiction."

"Yes!" Lin Huo said loudly.

"Ministry of Works!"

"The minister is here!"

"The Ministry of Industry stopped producing agricultural tools and made every effort to build armored weapons, how is the development of artillery progressing?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the artillery is still in the experimental stage, and it is not yet available." Mu Feng said with some regret.

Wang Lang pondered for a while and said: "The development of artillery cannot be stopped, since the artillery cannot be used, all the gunpowder currently in stock will be made into grenades and explosives bags and transported to the front line." ”

"Obey."

Wang Lang nodded and said: "The enemy we are facing this time is not the wild man in the past, it is an opponent of the same level, this war is not only about the safety of my Great Xia, if we lose the war, the entire human race is in danger of extinction, you must do your best to win this war." ”

The ministers have realized the seriousness of the matter, this time the situation is no longer a gain or loss of one family, as long as there is no possibility of surrender at all, the unknown face of the same level of alien civilization, do not need to think about it and know what the losing side will face.

The emergency court meeting lasted for half a day, and after the retreat, the various ministries immediately began to prepare.

Lin Huo returned to the Yamen, and immediately sent several documents to the generals of the garrisons in various places.

and printed a notice to inform the people of the Xia State's conscription order.

Soon after the entire Great Xia, a state of war was in full swing, and a sense of depression loomed over the Shenzhou Continent.

Three days after the end of the naval battle, the dragoons who gave the order finally arrived at Yancheng on the night of the third day.

The tired and exhausted dragoons, who could not take a half-minute rest, hurried to the palace.

Wang Lang, who was anxiously waiting for news in the palace, was restless at the moment, pacing back and forth in the study.

"Your Majesty, it's late at night, rest early!" Fanxing came over and persuaded him.

Wang Lang sighed and said, "You go to sleep first, I'm waiting, the news from the front line should be coming back soon." ”

At this moment, the guards hurriedly ran over and reported: "Your Majesty, the dragoons of the harbor are asking to see you outside the palace gate. ”

When Wang Lang heard this, he hurriedly said, "Bring him in." ”

"Yes!"

After the guards hurriedly retreated, Wang Lang said to Fanxing: "You avoid it first." ”

Fanxing nodded, turned and walked out of the study.

The dragoons, led by the guards, hurried towards Wang Lang's side.

"Your Majesty, the dragoons have arrived!"

"Fast forward!"

Wang Lang didn't wait for the dragoons to salute, and hurriedly asked, "How is the battle situation ahead?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, our army has repelled the enemy." The dragoon said breathlessly.

Hearing this, Wang Lang said repeatedly: "Okay, good, how about our casualties?" ”

The dragoon's expression darkened, and he said: "Our army suffered heavy casualties, the Dingyuan, and the Tongshan detonated the warships and died with the enemy, and the army also lost a lot of robes. ”

When Wang Lang heard this, he suddenly felt that the world was spinning, and he stumbled and almost fell to the ground, and when the guards saw this, they hurriedly stepped forward to support him.

Wang Lang sat weakly on the chair and asked the dragoons, "How many enemies are coming?" ”

"The enemy sent seven ships, numbering in the thousands, and under the courage of our troops, only two enemy ships escaped, and twenty-four were captured, and the rest were all killed by us."

Wang Lang nodded, feeling that these enemies should not be prepared, these seven or eight ships should just be their expedition army, and they can use such a large fleet at once, it is conceivable that the dinosaurs on the opposite continent have great navigation capabilities.

Although the Xia Kingdom has repelled the enemy's vanguard this time, as long as those fleeing enemies bring back the news here, in the near future, the Xia Kingdom will usher in a stormy attack, and human civilization is already in turmoil, facing the danger of destruction at any time.

"Take him down to rest!" Wang Lang said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, the guards took the exhausted dragoon down.

At this time, the guards came to report: "Your Majesty, the Shangshu of the Five Divisions is here." ”

Wang Lang nodded and said, "Pass them in." ”

After coming in, Wang Lang said, "No need to be polite, sit down!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Several people bowed.

"Your Majesty, but there's news from the front." Lin Huo asked.

Wang Lang nodded and said, "We won." ”

As soon as these words came out, several people immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and congratulated Wang Lang again and again,

"Don't rejoice too soon, this time the enemy is just an enemy expedition, they have two warships to escape, and it won't be long before we face real danger." Wang Lang said in a deep voice.

Lin Huo's heart sank, and he hurriedly asked, "How are our casualties?" ”

"Heavy casualties!"

When everyone heard this, they were immediately shocked, an expedition could inflict heavy casualties on the harbor, and the navy over there had nearly 5,000 troops stationed there, and if the enemy attacked in an all-out way, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Your Majesty, the enemy is so strong, what should we do?" Kong Yi hurriedly asked,

"There is not much time left for us, and we must improve our national strength as soon as possible during this time, expand the army to 100,000 people, expand the navy, and develop artillery as soon as possible." Wang Lang said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Wuyun's face changed, and he said, "100,000 people? Your Majesty, there are only 500,000 people in our Xia Kingdom, and there are only about 200,000 adult men, and the army of 100,000 people has been expanded all of a sudden, what about other things? ”

"This is also no way, extraordinary times should do extraordinary things, in the future, the household department will organize the villages, collective planting, to ensure the supply of food for the army, the army is related to our life and death, can not be careless, like the people of the country to explain the situation, before the end of the war everyone must fully cooperate, if there is a disturbance immediately arrested." Wang Lang said coldly.

The dark cloud was silent for a moment and nodded.

"Lin Huo, you will inform the dragoons to go to the harbor in a moment, and order Black Horn to escort those captives to the capital, so that the people along the way can see what our enemies are, let them understand that there is no possibility of peace with these aliens, comfort the families of the fallen soldiers, and bury them."

"Obey the order!"

"Dark Cloud, your Ministry of Rites has arranged a new drama, the main content of which is to promote the brutality and threat of dinosaurs, and let the performance troupe perform all over the country." Wang Lang said slowly.

Wuyun nodded and said, "Minister, obey the order!" ”

"The Criminal Department dispatches officials to maintain law and order, and those who incite unrest will be dealt with as treason."

"The household department adjusted the food supply, set aside three years of rations for 100,000 troops, and in the future, they must tighten their belts to live." Wang Lang said in a deep voice.

After explaining these things, the ministers left the palace worriedly.

A few days later, Heijiao, who got the news, escorted the captives towards Yancheng.

The people along the way have learned the news of the overseas invasion from the notice of the government, under the propaganda of the government, the people think that the reason why their good days are over, is caused by this group of monsters, and hate these enemies who disturb their lives, when the captives pass by, although the people on both sides of the street are a little afraid of the dinosaur people, but there is the support of the army, large and small stones are thrown at this group of prisoners, although these stones are not fatal, but they still hurt very much when they hit the body.

The annoyed dinosaur man roared angrily at the people on both sides, revealing the sharp teeth in his mouth.

The terrifying faces of the dinosaur people frightened some of the timid children into tears, and the angry people demanded that the monsters be executed immediately.

A month later, Black Horn arrived in Yancheng.

Wang Lang personally went out of the city to greet him, and greatly praised the exploits of Heijiao in front of the people of Yancheng, and publicized the fearless spirit of those soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country.

Wang Lang walked up to the group of dinosaur captives and carefully observed the hideous-looking alien race for a while.

This group of alien races is completely different from human beings, Wang Lang has no idea how to communicate with them, and there is no experience in human history to get along with another civilization.

At this time, Wang Lang saw that a dinosaur captive was covered with dense red spots, which was very different from other dinosaur people.

He called the black horn over and asked, "Was this the case before?" ”

Blackhorn glanced at the dinosaur man and said, "This guy only became like this a few days ago, and we don't know what's going on." ”

Wang Lang touched his chin and looked at it carefully for a while, these red spots seemed to be some kind of skin disease, and then looked at the rest of the dinosaur people, and sure enough, he saw that the rest of the dinosaur people had more or less this kind of spot.

Wang Lang immediately realized that this must be an infectious disease, and he was shocked, and hurriedly asked Heijiao, "Is this kind of red spot on a human body?" ”

Black Horn shook his head and said, "No, there is no change in human beings. ”

Wang Lang breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that this infectious disease is only spreading among dinosaur people.

"Escort them to the altar." Wang Lang said in a deep voice.

Black Horn nodded, and ordered the soldiers to escort the group of captives.

Driven by the whip, the group of dinosaur people trembled and walked in the direction of the altar.

Although they don't speak to humans, when they see the tall building in front of them, they immediately understand what they are about to face, and they immediately begin to struggle fiercely.

The soldiers in charge of the guards were furious, and the whips rained down like raindrops, slamming down on the group of prisoners, and the shrill screams made the onlookers shudder.

The beaten and bloodied captives were pushed onto the altar.

Wang Lang ascended the altar and said loudly: "These monsters are the enemies of our human race, they are not beasts, they are another intelligent creature, we humans are a peace-loving race, I originally wanted the two races to coexist peacefully, but these alien races are ferocious, not long ago they blatantly invaded my Great Xia, killing countless people of our people, today I want to use the heads of this group of captives to pay tribute to the dead soldiers, tell the gods, we humans officially declare war with this race, my Great Xia is the last hope of mankind, with my Great Xia, human beings are there!" Ladies and gentlemen, show your courage to defend the Xia Kingdom! ”

The people who were incited by Wang Lang to hate hatred looked at the dinosaur people kneeling on the altar and let out a roar of rage.

"Defend the Xia Kingdom!"

"Defend the Xia Kingdom!"
