In the territory of Gong County to the west of Bishui Pass.

The once tall and magnificent Luokou Cangcheng Castle on the banks of the river has been reduced to a series of ruins in the curling fireworks.

However, in the Great River Field not far away, the confrontation between the two armies continued, but both sides were clearly armed with firearms.

The one that is transforming from a pursuit sequence to an offensive position is the former military headquarters under the Southern Dynasty Wind and Thunder; And those who set up camps on the spot and were on the defensive were one of the elites of the Northern Army, the Divine Standard Army.

This is also among the defeated defenders of Bishui Pass, who fought more tenaciously to break the horses; They relied on this familiar terrain and the strongholds along the way to fight and retreat, which made the Henan special army after breaking the pass, and the pursuit of the vanguard suffered several losses;

Therefore, this time it was handed over to the former military headquarters, which is also a firearms unit, to deal with and dispose of it.

Although there is only a distance of more than 100 steps between the offensive and defensive formations,

But hiding in the walls and villages, those soldiers of the Divine Banner Army, who mixed the old and the new, couldn't wait to get up and release their guns in pieces, and then they were scolded and kicked to the ground by the reacting officers;

But the fatigue and inertia after a long battle, and the sense of imminent threat, still made them instinctively raise their weapons again and again, reload and fire.

The officers yelled and whipped repeatedly, and it took a while for the boss to pause the uneven overreaction of the somewhat overreacted ones.

But after all this commotion, many people's guns were already hot and swollen, and there was not much ammunition left on their bodies, and then they hurried to the left and right and the rear, shouting for help and shouting for refills.

At this time, the enemy who had stopped in the distance lined up, but they moved again, slowly approaching like a moving wall.

Tens of thousands of footsteps from the northeast stepped into the dust and smoke wrapped up, and were blown by the wind towards the vicinity of the village where they were waiting for the battle, which could not help but dazzle the eyes and nose of many people, and make them a little frightened.

As a result, some of them no longer care whether they were loaded with the sub-medicine or not, and once again raised their guns to radiate sporadically at the enemy; Then it triggered the conditioned reflex of the left and right comrades-in-arms, and the chain reaction resounded.

And yet these rushed to shoot out head-on? The projectiles disappeared into the queue of the other party, but they did not achieve the desired effect, and most of them landed unevenly on the ground in front of them, turning into almost invisible dust splashes.

And in the queue holding the flag on the opposite side, there seemed to be a few people who seemed to be about to fall down after shaking, but they were quickly supported by the left and right eyes, and quickly replaced to the back formation.

Therefore, the successive volleys of fire could not cause the slightest impact and wavering on the enemy's position; Those projectiles that roared away seemed to have been swallowed up by the other party invisibly; This can't help but make the officers and soldiers of the Divine Beacon Army who are on the defensive behind these simple bunkers suddenly feel a sense of despair and helplessness.

As a result, the order and intensity of their re-firing became more and more confused and tense;

Some people move too much or use too much force, and they actually throw the unplugged projectile away and drop it to the ground; Someone just plugged in the strip and fired, and then blew himself up and fell down; There are also people who don't care whether to load the projectile or not, so desperate to shoot out the empty chamber,

Others did not know that they had stuffed projectiles and gunpowder several times, and as a result, they were blinded on the spot by the gunpowder smoke that was poured out at close range, and their faces were covered with blood.

Most of the others reload and fire, but they are sent out in a hurry, and the actual killing efficiency is further reduced.

At this time, the vanguard standard-bearer of the Southern Army holding the Wind and Thunder Banner had approached within a distance of thirty paces, and at this distance, the soldiers of the Divine Beacon Army could finally see their own firearms, and the obvious damage to the enemy array.

In the front row of figures that fell one after another, and in the midst of the incessant muffled screams, they almost indifferently maintained the basic queue, and then accelerated to a distance of twenty paces.

Then I saw that the front row was suddenly shorter, but they fell to the ground one after another, and the second row became a kneeling posture, and they and the fire guns exposed behind them suddenly formed a four-row firing array in the upper, middle, middle and lower rows.

In an instant, the defense line held by the Northern Army was flooded head-on in the dense dust splash, and those Northern troops who took the initiative to shoot or could not dodge fell down almost in pieces, or fell down on the fortifications and bunkers, but they were bleeding and struggling and could not get up again.

All of a sudden, the officers and men of the Northern Army on the entire front suddenly lost their voices and stagnated, as if they had lost the courage and self-confidence to fight back in an instant, and then in the loud shouts and encouragement of the generals and officers, they rushed up again to remove the corpses and put on weapons, and took the initiative to fill the gap left by those who were killed.

However, the second volley of the battle was already ten paces away, and such a close counter-fire not only penetrated, but also the rudimentary defensive line formed by the planks and fences and the flesh and blood behind them, and also immediately engulfed the firearms pitchers who had gathered behind the fence and were ready to counterattack.

Compared with the many gunpowder-based instruments of the Southern Dynasty's Shenji Army, the Northern Dynasty also had its own characteristic firearms, relying on the many stone grease water and asphalt producing areas in the northwest, and a large number of fire pots and fierce oil bottles thrown with both hands.

It's just that these pitchers, who are holding firearms, suddenly become the biggest threat and obstacle in their own position after being hit by stray bullets.

Either the firearm in his hand exploded and burned, or he fell to the ground with the firearm that had been triggered, and in the exclamation and screams of flames flowing all over the ground, the surrounding allies were enveloped in it.

And at this moment, the bayonets had already rushed in, and the first line of defense hastily arranged by the Divine Standard Army had already spread out in this position......

Huaidong, Yidu, Zhenfu Mansion back house, just in the season of June fire

In this kind of hot and lazy weather, I want to find a girl who is easy to push down, press on the ground and rub and rub, and the repeated forks spew out power and sparks, just like the devil's steps.

Therefore, the newly added toy "Aqi" is kneeling on the grass with a face full of resentment and unwillingness, singing to me the words "Twenty-four Bridges and Bright Moon Night"; It's just that if she is a little distracted or sings a little off, "Ah Qiu" squatting behind her will be eager to use simple props and body movements to teach her to cry and moan until she gets back on track.

In this way, I am celebrating a partial victory and harvest.

The partial division of the seed division has preliminarily completed the southeast corner of Andong, and those small and medium-sized princes located between the black bone water and the Yalu water have obtained the right to pay tribute to their collective oath;

As a substitute for the former suzerain, Anton Da Luo, who was no longer able to pay attention to them, the price of being managed and shaded by Huaidong was an extra grain of tens of thousands of stone and the same amount of forage every year, as well as an income of several thousand tributes;

In addition, there are a series of incidental benefits such as the exclusive expediency and convenience of free trade in these places, as well as the limited right to purchase local minerals and native products.

and can also mediate and arbitrate their disputes and contradictions in name. Therefore, when necessary, six or seven thousand variegated feudal soldiers of the local scale, most of whom are better than nothing, can be pulled out from the local area;

But in fact, the biggest potential gain is to allow the Huaidong business system, which has lost most of Anton's markets and sales channels due to the ongoing turmoil, to regain a relatively stable potential trading partner and long-term dumping market.

Although the overall scale has shrunk a lot, this time there is obviously no need to think about it, through Anton Da Roche, who is the head snake of the land, he has made internal distribution and adjustment, and has lived several market interests at all levels.

If these southeastern princes were used as a channel in private, they could even trade the products of Huaidong and transfer them to the relatively tense and antagonistic Northern Alliance.

Although Huaidong's existing economy is still in its infancy, it has only just started, even if you add the operations and expansion of Borneo and Yizhou; In the short term, there is no comparison with the old regional chaebol forces in eastern Zhejiang, western Zhejiang, Ganrao, Guangui, Jiaozhou and other old regional chaebol forces in the rear of the national dynasty;

However, if you want to take advantage of the geographical advantage of being close to the water, you can easily crush and subdue these forces of the feudal princes at the economic and trade level, and you are not very united, it is obviously more than enough.

According to the calculations and budgets of the Ministry of Commerce, it is believed that the local princely forces will easily accept the guidance and adaptation of Huaidong, and pass on the losses to the independent princely alliances further north through private trade activities.

Although all this was achieved simultaneously through military repression and subjugation, as well as political handover and passing in the name of the remnants of the former Roche.

Obviously, among the local princes, it is not so convincing, and it also takes enough time to combine the deterrence of the main garrison and the management of the emigration in order to achieve some substantive effect beyond force.

However, the benefits produced by the first batch, 80,000 stone of various grains and grasses, and hundreds of thousands of loot and goods, have been transported to Huaidong across the sea, and most of them have been converted into fuels and catalysts for subsequent production.

However, at the same time, people were a little shocked and alarmed that the enclave and indirect control area divided into several places on the map were enough to disperse and dilute the reduced Huaidong military force to a dangerous level.

So much so that at present, it is necessary to rely on rotation and alternation, and these garrisons from new places to maintain a relative balance and stability under the garrison in different places.

After Zhang Xian and Feng Juanqi sent troops twice in succession, I actually found that under the rule of the huge Huaidong, except for a few battalions and regiments that I directly subordinate to the rank as seeds, there were not many main battle forces in my hands that could be maneuvered.

The new troops brought by Liu Yanqing will undoubtedly further aggravate this complicated situation. This is undoubtedly in a sense, the rear is taking advantage of the situation and continuing to inhibit my Huaidong's self-expansion and growth in disguise.

Thinking of this, I suddenly became a little troubled again.

Ah Qi resembles Li Shi Niang's face and appearance, which also gives me a little compensatory comfort mentality and a complex plot of cruel abuse.

"Okay,"

I commanded to Ah Qiu.

"Sit on and move yourself......"

As for Aki, who was wearing restraint equipment, he could only continue to kneel on the ground and serve and entertain with his tongue.

Then he listened to Ah Qiu, who was tightly wrapped on me and trembled with his body movements, and playfully sang the "Conquest" I taught

"You ...... conquered just like that"

"Cut off all retreats

My mood is solid

My decision was confused. ”……

"Conquered by you

Drink the poison you've hidden

My story has come to an end

My love and hate are in the ground"
