The rumbling cannon roared like thunder, extending from a distance, so that the ears could not hear anything else. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Whenever he encountered this kind of situation on the battlefield, Fang Hao's heart was mostly both envious and helpless: even if it was separated by thousands of rivers and mountains, the Huaxia Army was still so extravagant in the war, and they always had to give full play to the advantages of artillery, so much so that there was a joke in the Jin Army, saying that without artillery, the Huaxia Army would not fight.

Of course, Fang Hao knows why, the annual steel output in China is equivalent to more than 100 times that of Jinguo, and even the steel output of Xuzhou is equivalent to dozens of times that of Jinguo!

"Something is wrong."

Wu Jialiang was also silently listening to the sound of the cannon, and in the interval between the two rounds of bombardment, he suddenly spoke.

Fang Hao's expression also changed, although in terms of civil affairs, Fang Hao felt that he was stronger than Wu Jialiang, but in terms of battlefield grasp, Wu Jialiang was still stronger than him.

"What's wrong?"

"I don't know...... I just feel that something is wrong, Brother Fang Xian, we can't wait any longer, let's go and persuade Your Majesty to withdraw the army immediately! ”

The two exchanged glances, then got up together and hurried to a bungalow behind them.

The gold lord finished his face vulture here.

Although he is still wearing a traditional Jin man costume, there are not many Jurchen customs retained by Wanyan Wushu. He knelt on a blanket and was bowing to the west, Fang Hao and Wu Jialiang asked to see him, and he immediately stopped his ceremony and summoned the two in.

"Are the two prime ministers in a hurry?" He asked.

"Your Majesty, there is something wrong with the situation, now we have exhausted our strength, and we will suffer from it if we continue to break it, and it is time to withdraw our troops." Wu Jialiang said in a deep voice.

"Those two mountains, really can't be taken down?"

Wushu was silent for a while, still a little unwilling, he asked slowly, looked at Wu Jialiang, and hoped that the prime minister could offer him a good plan.

Wu Jialiang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The best way at this time is to take advantage of the fact that the reinforcements of the Huaxia Army have not arrived and leave quickly." ”

"The closest unit to the Huaxia Army is the Thirteenth Army, but they have to rush to Xuanzang Port, and it will take at least a month from the formation of the army to the arrival, plus they also need orders from Huaxia proper...... We should have a month left, right? ”

This is one of the most important reasons why the Wushu dared to launch this attack. In his expectation, it would take a month for Xuanzang Gang to send the news back to Huaxia at the earliest, and then Zhou Quan gave the 13th Army a reinforcement order, which would take nearly a month, and the 13th Army would arrive and it would take another month.

Three months before and after, the battle had already been completed, and he could return to his fortress with a large number of captured strategic materials, and use these materials to launch a westward expedition, chasing the footprints of the Xiongnu and Turks, and hitting the land of Taixi, far away from Zhou Quan's edge.

Wu Jialiang knew Zhou Quan's strategy, Zhou Quan regarded it as a part of China, but until Bagan (Burma), not including Tianzhu, let alone Taixi in the extreme west, if you want to come there, the Jin State will have a large space to recuperate, and you don't have to worry about the pursuit of China for decades.

Instead of being stared at and beaten like now, the burning expedition of the Huaxia army, but the Jin country was not shallow, and finally developed a port, the Huaxia army would come to the last round of looting, once after the Huaxia army looted, Wushu even complained to Wu Jialiang: "Since ancient times, I have only heard that we barbarians went to rob the Han people, but now how have they become Han people to rob our barbarians!" ”

"That being said, I've always had some uneasiness in my heart...... Who knows, who knows what Zhou Quan can come up with......"

Before the words had been spoken, there was a sudden commotion outside, and a moment later a Persian rushed in.

In the past ten years, the proportion of Jurchens under Wushu has been extremely low, and among the civil and military forces under his rule, Persia, Dashi, Tocharo, and Tianzhu ...... There are all kinds of races. This Persian, named Ibusin, came from a humble background, and the Wushu saw that he was talented and promoted him, which made him grateful to Dade and loyal to the Wushu.

"Your Majesty, the Huaxia people have fought back...... They appeared in our rear! ”

The news brought by Yi Buxin made Wushu jump, and Wu Jialiang and Fang Hao were also furious: "How is this possible, we all know the distribution of their troops, where do they come from?" ”

He was not surprised that the Huaxia army would appear in the rear of his own army, because Huaxia's advantage in shipping allowed them to always choose a place to land and then outflank the rear route. He wondered where the surplus troops of the Huaxia Army came from, and what could make Ibuxin panic like this, it must be a fairly large regular army of the Huaxia Army, not a small army of three or five hundred men.

"The Thirteenth Army, look at the banner is the Thirteenth Army, now we are already Chinese in the west, we can only go east!" Ibusin exclaimed.

Wushu and Wu Jialiang were stunned, they had also discussed before that the Thirteenth Army of the Huaxia Army might come to help, but in their calculations, the Thirteenth Army would not arrive until more than a month later at the earliest, but now, they had arrived ahead of schedule!

"My men have come with news that the Thirteenth Army is not preparing to come...... It certainly took them less than a month from preparation to arrival. Fang Hao was in charge of intelligence, and it was his responsibility to fail to find out the news of the Thirteenth Army's advance, so he defended himself without waiting for Wushu to criticize.

"Now is not the time to pursue this matter, Your Majesty, now you can only ...... Dead Tail Survival! Wu Jialiang quickly analyzed the situation in his heart and suggested to Wushu.

The 13th and 14th armies combined had about 30,000 troops, plus the troops recruited and the natives who were attached to China, the Huaxia army could make up about 80,000 troops. Even if Wushu led more than 100,000 troops south this time, he still had a numerical advantage, but the losses suffered over the years had made Wushu realize that if he didn't have more than five times the strength advantage, he wouldn't want to fight the Huaxia army head-on.

He didn't think much about it, and immediately ordered the headquarters to move eastward, preparing to take a long detour, away from the coastal area where the Huaxia army might appear.

It's just that he wants to break his tail to survive, but Huaxia Jun refuses to let him go easily.

Just as the Wushu gave the order, in the distant sky, a huge airship slowly moved over.

Zhou Yu was on top of the airship, and he, Lu You, and Duan Yixing looked down at the porthole with a smile at this time.

"I really can't imagine that the hot air balloon can be changed and become such a militaristic weapon!" Duan Yixing was full of praise for the airship: "China Merchants Steamship...... I remember that they have been doing river transportation on the other side of the Yangtze River, how did they come up with such a thing? ”

"What's so strange about this, if it can be done, how much benefit can this airship bring to the steamship China Merchants Bureau, not to mention anything else, the orders of the Huaxia Army can make them a lot of money." Land Tour.

Duan Yixing smiled, he was not surprised by this, of course he knew that after the successful test of the airship, whether it was military or civilian, there would be a large number of orders, what surprised him was that the China Merchants Steamship Bureau was a chamber of commerce run to make money, but it was willing to spend nearly ten years and invest a lot of money and manpower every year to develop this thing.

"The steamship China Merchants Bureau is a royal industry, and all royal industries have research institutes, and the annual investment in research shall not be less than five percent of the income of the year." Zhou Yu knew the doorway very well, and he said softly: "Moreover, my father will give them some guidance on their research." ”

Hearing that Zhou Quan would personally guide the research of China Merchants Steamship, Duan Yixing's doubts were solved, who in the whole of China did not know that Zhou Quan was a great master of practical learning, and could even be said to be a groundbreaking figure!

"It's been ten years, since my father founded the country for ten years, and countless investments have been made in the past ten years, and it's time for it to blossom and bear fruit -- the thirteenth army was able to arrive quickly this time, which is also a blessing for this." Zhou Yu said again.

Speaking of this, his face was still a little proud, Duan Yixing only said that he was proud of Zhou Quan, but Lu You knew that he was proud of his third brother Zhou Shi.

It's just that what Zhou Chengcheng is doing is still a military secret, and Duan Yixing's identity is not worthy of knowing this, so Zhou Yu didn't say it directly.

Zhou Shi, who is two years younger than Zhou Yu and is only seventeen years old this year, likes to learn from a young age, and shows a very high talent in invention, under the tutelage of Yu Tomson, after Tom Chen's death, at the age of fourteen, he became the assistant of Yu Tomchen's proud disciple Ni Pu, and studied the use of electricity with Ni Pu, especially the application of electricity in the field of communication.

The fact that the 13th Army was able to receive orders and set off in time was related to Zhou Shi's research.

Unlike the other two younger brothers, Zhou Shi is Zhou Yu's half-brother, and Zhou Shi is obsessed with invention, and has long declared that he will not spend time on military service - which means that he will even give up the title of prince that he should have as a prince, so he does not pose any threat to Zhou Yu's status as the eldest son of the emperor, and the two brothers have a deep relationship.

"It's here, it's here!"

Above the airship, a thin Tianzhu man suddenly shouted in Chinese.

He was a guide and a secret spy, and he knew where the general headquarters of the Jin Kingdom was, so he was ordered to act with Zhou Yu and others.

At the beginning of the airship, this guy was very panicked for a while, and almost urinated, but now, he has adapted to the environment in the air, pointing to a bunch of bungalows in front of him and shouting.

"Okay, get ready to drop the bomb!" Zhou Yu shouted.

The bombing of the Emperor of Jin originally did not require Zhou Yu to come in person, but he insisted on coming, and Yu Yunwen also strongly recommended that Wei Min agree, and after analyzing the stakes behind this, Wei Min made this bold decision. Although Yue Tuo objected at first, Yu Yunwen persuaded him with the sentence "If there is no immortal merit, how can the eldest son of the emperor dominate the world".

Regardless of whether Zhou Yu really doesn't want to be the emperor or not, but people like Yue Tuo, who have been by his side for a long time, hope that he will be the one who inherits the throne.

With Zhou Yu's order, a modified bottom plate of the airship's bilge was pulled open, and then bombs were pushed over.

In fact, this bomb was only temporarily changed, and it was also necessary to light the fuse and throw it down, Zhou Yu and others happily threw down all the bombs weighing more than 500 catties, and saw that there was already a sea of fire underneath.

They didn't expect any casualties from the bombing, but only to verify that the airship could be used on the battlefield. But with the intention of planting flowers and flowers, and unintentionally planting willows and willows, Zhou Yu did not expect what kind of results this verification action would cause.
