I immediately went to see Zhao Zhengbao.

The guards took me to his military intelligence room, which smelled of smoke and a thick smoke from dim light bulbs.

The bulb is very dim, and sometimes it is even going out, revealing a red filament. The power plant in Baoding has no gasoline to burn, and now it burns soybean oil, which is very unstable.

Zhao Zhengbao and Ma Xingcai stood in the innermost, with a long conference table in front of them.

Apparently he was discussing tomorrow's military situation with his staff, and I interrupted their meeting.

Zhao Zhengbao saw me, glanced at Ma Xingcai again, and ordered: "Disband!" ”

Those people are out.

As I paced around the conference table, I said to Zhao Zhengbao and Ma Xingcai, "Have you decided how you want to fight tomorrow?" ”

Zhao Zhengbao clenched his fists and said, "Until death, you will rest!" Until there is no one left on the other side, or we can't have one person left! That's our plan! ”

I said, "There is only one possibility, and that is that there is no one left of you." ”

Ma Xingcai touched his white beard and said, "Hehe." Didn't you say you were going to make the Royal Army suffer? In this way, they will suffer a lot. Are you so satisfied? ”

I said, "Frankly, I'm not satisfied. The more people who died in the Royal Army, the greater the military exploits of the prince. As far as the prince is concerned, he doesn't care how many people die in his army! I'm not adding to the blockage of the prince, but cheering for the prince. However, if the royal army is all dead and the prince returns to Chang'an with a light commander, I will see how he explains. ”

Ma Xingcai: "Haha, I already knew that you still had a killer feature." Are you going to teach us how to make tank cannons? ”

Me: "Don't think about those things, even I can't make them in a hundred years." But there is a kind of thing, which is simple and cheap, the raw materials are common, killing people is more and easier, and the other party is not painful at all. ”

Seeing their surprised expressions, I continued, "Its name is 'poison gas.'" ”

Ma Xingcai: "The poisonous gas of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect? ”

Me: "Don't be fooled by names. Like you used to have explosives, can that thing be called explosives? ”

Ma Xingcai: "Is the poisonous gas in the imperial court powerful?" ”

Me: "Once upon a time, people called it 'nerve gas'. ”

Ma Xingcai: "I haven't heard of it, but it sounds very powerful." ”

We finalized the plan.

Zhao Zhengbao commanded the defensive battle in Baoding, while Ma Xingcai and I returned to Yanjing to create "nerve gas".

At this time, the guards of Yanjing were also being attacked by the Liaoxi Army and the Liaodong Army.

The guards of the city turned their weapons from stones to grenades, and the other side suffered heavy casualties, and no progress was made except for a corpse to be dropped.

The workers in Yanjing still produced explosives day and night, but the metal was gone, and even the iron pots in Yanjing City were melted into grenade shells, so they made batches of stone grenades.

The stone grenade has very little pressure when it explodes, and the power is too small to kill a few people. However, the power of this grenade is far greater than that of the firecrackers of the imperial court.

I went to Yanjing and told them to stop making explosives, but to make something even more horrible - poison gas!

The process of making poison gas is much more complicated than that of bombs, and several new ingredients have been added.

Several mistakes occurred during the experiment, and thousands of people died. There was no reaction from a few people in the yard and suddenly they collapsed, their eyes wide open and a smile on their faces, as usual, except that there was no heartbeat or breathing.

Fortunately, Ma Xingcai and I wore gas masks and escaped.

Gas masks are easy to make, just burn charcoal according to the process, and hundreds of thousands of workers quickly made mountains of "activated carbon". The activated charcoal is densely packed into a mask, which is called a gas mask.

Ma Xingcai looked at this strange scene in surprise.

It was also the first time I had seen the power of such a weapon.

It seems that the senators banned this weapon for a reason, it was too uncontrollable and terrible.

I often get upset, and that's because I can't stop thinking about my family.

I only remember my father since I remember, but I don't remember my mother.

I have imagined my mother's appearance, my mother's voice, my mother's movements, and my mother's life experience countless times, but those are all imaginations, as if imagining that I am a royal family.

I'm ashamed to admit this shameful imagination, which is simply the work of a fool.

But I can't help but imagine it, and I feel even more ashamed afterwards.

Now, since I know that my father and mother are still alive, I can no longer feel at peace.

Zao Wou-Ki said that my father and my mother's hometown are in Shandong, what's going on?

Am I not from the Central Plains?

What's the matter with my mother still alive?

What is going on with them in Shandong now?

What happened to my serious illness?

When Liu Xingchao bombed Hanzhong that day, I suddenly remembered the incident of Qicheng.

It seems that the tragic scene of the Qicheng Massacre appears in my eyes, but I know that the tragic scene of the Qicheng Massacre will never appear in my eyes, because it was more than 20 years ago! I'm not born yet, how can I have this memory?!

I really want to put aside this and go directly to Shandong to find my father.

How can the millions of people in the Two Rivers Army and the Royal Army be compared with their own fathers and mothers?

I don't know them, and what do I do with their lives and deaths?

The thought of a family of three reuniting makes me rub my hands together with excitement.

The manufacture of gas bombs must be accelerated!

I kept urging the workers, who experimented and made around the clock.

-

-

The poison gas was almost made, and the experiment was successful.

The guards of the Yanjing guards threw a large glass bottle filled with yellow liquid from the city wall, and the bottle fell from under the city wall dozens of meters high and fell at the feet of the besieging royal army.

After the bottle shattered, the yellow liquid quickly vaporized and the smoke spread.

The Royal Army was laughing at each other for throwing a broken bottle, but one by one they were falling, their mouths still growing, and their eyes still smiling.

The yellow smoke continued to spread, thinner and thinner.

But the air was so thin that it was impossible to see the color of the Royal Army, and the ripples spread like the ripples of a pebble into a pond.

The soldiers ran away as if they had seen a ghost, but they still couldn't keep up with the spread of the poison gas, and they fell down as they ran, never to get up again.

Seeing the success of the experiment, I wondered when I would go to Shandong?

After the Battle of Baoding, or go now?

Baoding is finished and there is Handan, Handan is finished and Luoyang is finished, Luoyang is finished and there is the Central Plains, maybe there will be another fight.

Ma Xingcai saw me frowning and thinking about things, and asked me, "What is my brother thinking?" Didn't work out? ”

I said, "It's a success, you see how successful it is." Now that I've taught you, there are some things I want to go first. Rest assured, the Royal Army will never be able to defeat you now. ”

He asked, "What is so important?" ”

I certainly can't tell my own private affairs.

I said, "Oh, that's right. We have to hurry back, or when you win the Royal Army, what will they do if they suspect that there are people from the inner court to help you? ”

He said: "Brother, I am also from the imperial court officials, and I also know the strength of the forbidden army. No matter how many troops there are in this world, no matter what army, it is not enough for the forbidden army to fight for a minute. We have no intention of rebellion at all, let alone the intention of becoming emperor, we just want to live in peace and stability. You see, you keep us so that you can suppress the royal family and the foreign courts, right? ”

Hey, he told me this kind of problem, and I can't be the master. I'm just an insignificant petty official in the inner court.

He said: "To be honest, I was afraid that as soon as we defeated the Royal Army outside Baoding, the Inner Court would send a group of bombers from the Royal Praetorian Army to blow Baoding and Yanjing into ruins!" ”

He thinks so much about it, I don't even think about it.

I had to say, "Number one, we absolutely have no intention of doing so. Maintaining the unification of the Ming Dynasty is not the task of the inner court, our task is to maintain the balance of this world and maintain the traditions of this world. It's always good for us to have more other forces. Second, even if the forbidden army wants to bomb you, do you think that if you detain me, they won't bomb you? What am I? Third, we are still brothers, so you can bear to take me hostage? ”

He patted me on the shoulder and said, "How can my brother be, I'm just talking." I'm so grateful that you could come and help us! ”

The devil believed in him.

I could see that there was a murderous motive hidden in his eyes.

I was so scared that I happened to find out that they were guarding against us.

We traveled thousands of miles from Xijing Chang'an to Beijing Yanjing to help them teach them secret techniques that will never be passed down through the ages, and they still want to take us hostage!

-

-

A month after the First Battle of Baoding, another group of troops rushed from Yanjing City to Baoding City. Yanjing's last military power is all included.

The poisonous gas attack under Yanjing City frightened the troops of Liaoxi and Liaodong stupidly, and they didn't even dare to look at the Yanjing Acropolis, so Ma Xingcai desperately brought all the forces of Yanjing over for the final battle.

I've already told the forbidden army team that Zhao Zhengbao wants to keep us as hostages, and we must slip away in advance.

I also talked about the route back to Beijing.

To the west is Taihang Mountain, which cannot be turned over; To the south is the front line of the two armies, which is too dangerous; Therefore, it is only possible to take a detour from the east, from Hebei to Shandong, from Shandong to the Central Plains, and then back to Gyeonggi.

Of course, I'm lying to them, I just want to go to Qicheng, Shandong to see my father.

Wang Yuquan and Zhang Kangning both nodded and said, "Not bad! Good idea! ”

At noon, the Yanjing troops arrived outside Baoding City, and the two armies were still fighting bloodily.

The positions outside the city changed hands constantly, leaving behind large numbers of corpses each time.

I said to Ma Xingcai, "We really have to go." But I'm sure you'll win. ”

Ma Xingcai looked at me, and then at the hundred soldiers armed with submachine guns around me.

The soldiers screeched and opened the safety bolt of the submachine gun.

Ma Xingcai: "Take care, brother. If we win the war, we will make peace with the emperor and let everything return to the way it was before! ”

So we broke up.

-

-

The people in Baoding City saw a large number of troops coming from the north from a distance, so they opened the city gate to launch a counterattack against the royal army outside the city, and Ma Xingcai also led the army to attack, once again relieved the siege of Baoding City.

They entered the city, and I headed east with the convoy, fifteen trucks behind were already full of gasoline and food.

We drove all afternoon and camped in a small village in the evening.

Wang Yuquan and Zhang Kangning arranged the security measures as usual, and the rest of them fell asleep.

I was woken up by the roar of a submachine gun!

Zhang Kangning stood beside me and said to me, "My lord, you are right, Zhao Zhengbao's army has been killed. Damn it! This bunch of scum! I knew that there was no good thing! ”
