The atmosphere in Yangzhou City, which was originally a little loose, suddenly became clean in the past few days. There were no longer any petty military attachés in green robes wandering around the streets, and there were more generals patrolling back and forth, all wearing battle jackets, carrying swords and guns, and lined up in a neat row with great spirits. The refugees who had been wandering around the city begging without restraint were also organized and managed by officials sent by the Huaidong Salary Division, saying that once the war was over, they would be allocated land for reclamation.

In the barracks scattered throughout the city, generals at all levels, subordinate generals, generals, commanders, and all under control, one layer is in charge of the other, and they are only the whole army for war. The whole city suddenly had an atmosphere of imminent war.

Chen Dexing, who had just shown his face in the test firing of the stone machine, was walking side by side with Jia Yidao at this time, but he was only slightly behind by half a horse's head. The civil and military officials in Yangzhou City followed behind and went to the Fusi Yamen together.

"Qingzhi, is there any difference between Yangzhou City and a few days ago?"

Chen Dexing had long known that the war was coming, and when Jia Rudao asked him this, he replied with a smile: "The city is full of slaughter, and you want to fight a decisive battle with the northern captives, right?" ”

"It's been a few days, and the northern captives didn't get much bargain when they went south this time, first they fell in Yangzhou City, and then they suffered defeats in Zhenzhou, Tongzhou, Taizhou, Luzhou, Yingzhou and other places, not only lost morale, but also didn't plunder much grain and grass, and it is estimated that the food will run out."

Jia Rudao slowly said some military information that Chen Dexing didn't know much about, and just when Chen Dexing threw all his energy into the artillery army, the Mengsong battle on the Lianghuai battlefield continued. It's just that there was no big war in Yangzhou.

"The lower official congratulates the prime minister!" Chen Dexing replied respectfully, but he knew in his heart that Jia Yidao's victories were actually the credit of Li Cuixian, the little demon girl. And this time in the decisive battle, he had to rely on his own artillery army to make meritorious contributions. Look at this meaning, the traitor seems to be stepping on the shoulders of himself and the demon girl to climb up!

Jia Yidao was in a very good mood, and said with a smile: "This official also wants to congratulate you Chen Qingzhi, you have made such a great contribution in the year of the weak crown, even the former Yue Wumu can't compare to you!" ”

Chen Dexing didn't say anything, why did Jia Rudao's words sound a little harsh? What happened to Yue Fei? Fengbo Pavilion is dying, this is not what Chen Dexing wants.

"Dong Songchen, who has been sent by the official family to count the heads, has already arrived at the Yangtze Bridge, just in time for this big war, if it is fought, the official side will know in a few days. With the two great achievements combined, there is no problem for one rampant official. I'm afraid that Jiayao County still lacks qualifications, and it is certain that he will bring a cabinet position and imperial equipment. When you go to the west to conquer Jinghu and Sichuan, there may be another special reward for wealth and wealth. ”

Chen Dexing smiled reluctantly and did not speak. How did he not know that Jia Yidao was playing the trick of a big stick in one hand and a carrot in the other? But what is rampant and what is with imperial weapons, he doesn't care at all, all he cares about is military power! As long as you can build more than 10,000 elite sailors and build forty or fifty galleys under your own command, where can you go along the entire Northland coast? It's a big deal to marry Li Cuixian, the little demon girl, and go to Yidu Li Pu as a concubine, it's better than being Yue Fei's second in the Southern Song Dynasty!

As he spoke, a group of officials had already followed Jia Rudao to the Fusi Yamen. This traitor is an old soldier, but his skills are vigorous, and he directly turned over and got off the war horse without being supported. Chen Dexing also dismounted and stood respectfully behind the traitor.

"Qingzhi, you can also participate in today's military conference." Jia Rudao raised his neck and looked at the tall and heroic Chen Dexing, and nodded with satisfaction, "Although your capital is still in power, from today onwards, you will be one of the main generals of the armies under the Lianghuai Fu Division!" ”

"Xie Xianggong cultivates!" Chen Dexing hurriedly crossed his hands and saluted.

Although the artillery army has few people, it can be regarded as an independent army, even if it is under the command of the power, it can stand at the end of the generals of the two Huai armies. However, because the military order had not yet been reached, even the "right to dispatch" was temporary, so Chen Dexing did not belong to the main generals of the two Huai armies. But now Jia seems to say a word, Chen Dexing is finally a master with status.

In Jia Rudao's festival hall, there are now a few beds of Chen Dexing, which are naturally placed near the door of the festival hall, and sitting opposite him is the new Wu Rui military power commander Jiang Cai, about thirty years old, with Zhou Zheng facial features, a white complexion, and a neatly trimmed beard under his chin, not like a military man, but with a bit of a scribe's style.

As if noticing Chen Dexing's gaze, Jiang Cai, whose official position was similar to Chen Dexing, just smiled and bowed his head.

A few days ago, after the Wurui Army was taken over by Jiang Cai, the whole army went to Yangziqiao, 20 miles south of Yangzhou City, and the original Wurui Army camp was owned by Chen Dexing's artillery army. Therefore, Chen Dexing and Jiang Cai did not have much contact in these days.

By Jiang Cai's side, he is Chen Dexing's opponent, Lu Zhaoqi, who is known as Da Lu in the two Huai armies, and Lu Zhaolin, who died in battle two months ago, is called Xiao Lu. However, Da Lu and Xiao Lu are already fifty or sixty years old, and in this era, they can be called Lao Lu! I don't know if it's because of Chen Dexing's anger, now Lu Zhaoqi's eyebrows are white, and he looks a lot older than he looked two months ago! Just when Chen Dexing looked at Lu Zhaoqi, this "Da Lu" also stared at Chen Dexing viciously. The eyes of the two looked at each other, and they almost crashed out of Mars!

Chen Dexing hurriedly put on a smiling face and nodded at Lu Zhaoqi. There is hatred and resentment on the face, and the one who stabs the knife in the back is the hero. Moreover, Chen Dexing is now only in command of 2,000 people, and he is still incomparable with the old army leader with 6,000 troops.

"Humph!" The old soldier snorted and twisted his head, not knowing what he was thinking?

At this moment, Jia Rudao coughed, stroked his beard, and swept his eyes on the festival hall, and finally landed on Chen Dexing.

"Qingzhi, you are the commander of the artillery army, how to use this artillery army, it's up to you to say."

Hearing Jia Rudao's suddenly low voice, Chen Dexing knew that he was going to stand on the cusp of the storm again this time.

"Xianggong," he crossed his hand at Jia Yidao and said loudly, "If you want to go down to the officials, the use of artillery in field battles should be based on concentrated firepower and rapid dispatch. ”

"Concentrated fire?" Jia seemed puzzled.

"It is to concentrate the 63 stone generators under the jurisdiction of the 9 artillery teams of the artillery army to bombard the northern captives for a while, and strive to destroy them with a single salvo!"

Sixty-three stone generators, that is, one hundred and eighty-nine earth-shattering thunderbolts were thrown at one time!

All the generals in the festival hall have seen the scene when the three iron cannons (earth-shattering thunder) exploded this morning, and if they can increase their power by sixty-three times!

"That's almost 200 earth-shattering thunders! If a single thunderbolt kills three northern captives, that guy can kill six hundred! Even the elite of iron can't bear it. In this way, in a few days, we will have another big victory on the two Huai Road. After the two Huai successes, the old man led the gentlemen to the west to aid Sichuan, with this stone machine, the benefit of earth-shaking thunder, will definitely make the northern captives return with a feather! ”

When Jia Rudao spoke, his eyebrows just fluttered, and his excitement increased by three points. In the end, I slapped a few times harder, and I almost looked up to the sky and laughed!

Lu Zhaoqi got up to avoid the table and saluted with his hands crossed: "Xianggong, the lower officials think that what Chen Chengxin said is just talking on paper." ”

"Oh? How so? Jia Rudao suppressed his smile and asked lightly.

Lu Zhaoqi turned around and looked at Chen Dexing coldly, "Chen Chengxin, old man, let me ask you, how long are the 63 stone machines lined up on the battlefield?" ”

"One column is 100 steps, and two columns are 200 steps." Chen Dexing said lightly.

Lu Zhaoqi snorted lightly, and then turned around and saluted Jia Rudao: "Xianggong, the formation of one army is at least three hundred steps, if there are ten armies out of the formation, it will be three thousand steps next to each other, according to Chen Chengxin's method, I don't know how many stone machines are enough?"

Xia Guan raised yì, dismantled the artillery army, and each of the nine artillery teams was organized into one army, so that it was a perfect law.
