On the Yangtze River, the 100,000 sailors of Dongjun came fiercely, and Zhao Long's sailors retreated a hundred miles.

For this move, many generals do not understand, although they have few soldiers, but they do not have to retreat, they are fully capable of fighting, and many generals are full of confidence, maybe with good luck, they can defeat the 100,000 naval army of the imperial court, if that is the case, it will be a great achievement.

Zhao Long also sighed, he also wanted to launch a big fight, but there was no way, the order to withdraw the army had already been conveyed by the military department, if he encountered a large force of enemy troops, he would retreat quickly and not confront the enemy head-on.

In fact, Zhao Long knew very well in his heart that his task had been completed, and as soon as the 100,000 sailors of Dongjun arrived, it meant that the imperial court was going to withdraw from the imperial capital.

"Rest for a few days and wait for new orders." Zhao Long looked at the many lieutenants beside him and said.

"No."

.............

Yang Mingyue's house.

As a shadow guard came to report, Yang Mingyue suddenly got up: "Go, arrange Your Majesty, and move the capital immediately!" ”

After a while, Yang Mingyue came to the Golden Hall of the Imperial Palace with a rushing expression.

"Your Majesty, something is wrong..." Yang Mingyue shouted and ran into the Golden Palace.

The emperor said, "Prime Minister, what's the matter?" ”

"Your Majesty, please set off immediately, move the capital to Dongjun, and Weichen will send a large army to escort you."

"Why are you in such a hurry?" The emperor said, "There are still many things that have not been done yet." ”

Yang Mingyue hurriedly said: "There is no time, just now the spies came to report, the Western Capital has sent 200,000 troops again, led by the general Fukangan, who has come to our imperial capital, and has now passed the Languan, and in three days, he will be here." ”

"If the imperial capital is besieged, it will be a little troublesome to move the capital."

In fact, Yang Mingyue said the truth a little seriously, and Yang Mingyue knew very well in his heart that the Western Capital did this just to let the imperial court move the capital as soon as possible. The imperial capital will never be besieged.

But in order to make up the emperor's mind earlier, he could say so.

Sure enough, as soon as Yang Mingyue finished speaking, the emperor's expression became panicked. immediately agreed, as the first batch of people to move the capital, escorted by 100,000 troops, as well as other supplies that had been prepared earlier, to Dongjun together.

"Finally agreed." Yang Mingyue breathed a long sigh of relief.

............

Western capital.

this day. Wang Xu received another piece of good news, which shocked Wang Xu very much.

Someone from the Academy of Science and Technology said that they had created a particularly powerful weapon, which could launch secret weapons without trebuchets, which made Wang Xu suddenly think of the red-coated cannon in the Qing Dynasty!

The Red Cannon, which puts a fuse above the ammunition, ignites the fuse, and then fires it. Powerful destructive force is formed.

In fact, Wang Xu has been working on this thing for a long time, and he had this idea as early as four years ago, but because there is no steel, he can't build it.

And now, the steelmaking mill is in full swing and is fully capable of making the city's red-coated cannons, but because things are too busy during this time, he ignores them.

But what Wang Xu didn't expect was that he hadn't said this structure yet, that is, the manufacturing method; And the people of the Academy of Science and Technology have already made it. It has to be said that the people of the Academy of Science and Technology are too talented and worthy of vigorous training.

"Let's go, go to the Academy of Science and Technology."

Half an hour later. Wang Xu took Zhang Meng to the Science and Technology Institute, and all the people here were immersed in joy.

The newly developed object is very powerful, with a range of more than 300 meters, which is three times that of an ordinary bow and arrow!

It's a bit of a pity, though, that this thing is too heavy. Five people can't move, they can only be pushed by iron wheels, and even if they are pushed with wheels, it takes two people to push.

Such a heavy thing is not suitable for field warfare at all, it can only be used to defend the city, and it belongs to fixed machinery.

Wang Xu and Zhang Meng arrived, and the director of the Science and Technology Institute immediately came out to greet them.

"Where is the thing you studied, take me to see it." Wang Xu waved his hand.

The principal nodded, and took Wang Xu and Zhang Meng to a courtyard, and suddenly, Wang Xu saw a giant cannon, he was immediately speechless, how to bring such a cannon to fight, I'm afraid it is very difficult to defend the city.

And the barrel, which is more than two feet long, is too long!

"Lord, do you need to try it?"

Wang Xu waved his hand: "No need, you are doing a good job, but I want to make a slight modification and change his other structures, which are already heavy, and they must be able to adapt to field battles!" ”

When the principal heard this, he was very happy at first, but later, he seemed to feel that Wang Xu was not very happy.

Looking at the huge volume, the principal understood, but he was a little embarrassed: "Lord, if the volume is too small to achieve the current results, the power will be greatly reduced." ”

"You don't have to worry about this, after I study it, I will draw a picture for you, you can follow it, and let the steel mill be built, this king promises, it will definitely surprise you."

........

The main thing was a little unbelievable, this thing was made by him after studying it for a long time with several scholars of Wenyuan Pavilion, and it had been improved many times, only in this way was the best, it could no longer be improved, and it was precisely because of this that he dared to let Wang Xu test it.

Without saying anything more, Wang Xu turned around and left with Zhang Meng.

In fact, in Wang Xu's heart, the red-clothed cannon has no effect, and it doesn't matter if it is built or not, because the saltpeter necessary to make fire yao is almost extinct, and without saltpeter, no matter how good the cannon is, it is useless.

However, it's not wrong to make the redcoat cannon first, maybe you can find saltpeter later?

Back in the study, Wang Xu immediately began to draw according to the impression in his mind, a total of more than a dozen, among which there are many parts, which need to be built and produced by the steel mill, and the process is very troublesome.

...........

A new day.

The army of Fukangan marched to the west side of the imperial capital and set up camp, and the camp was hundreds of miles away and the momentum was huge.

According to reliable sources, the emperor of the imperial court had left the imperial capital two days ago, and under the protection of the 100,000-strong army, he went to Dongjun with the first batch of capital relocation brigades, and Yang Mingyue, the prime minister of the imperial court, was preparing for the second batch of people to move the capital.

Hearing this news, on the second day, Fukangan set off with a battalion and set off with an army of 200,000 under the west wall of the imperial capital.

In the current imperial capital, there are still 300,000 troops, excluding those who defend the city, there are less than 200,000 who can fight, so Yang Mingyue's method of dealing with the enemy is to ignore the gold coin city gate. (To be continued.) )
