Chapter 133: Armament Shortboard, Go to the Ministry of Industry!

Although there is no threat from the Xuantie arrows, the soldiers of the Qi Tianhou Kingdom are generally strong, and many times, with their keen perception, they can dodge the arrows in the sky.

So, it's going to be an uphill battle!

The enemy pounced again and again, climbing the city wall several times, but under the command of Zhao Yun, they successfully repelled the enemy army.

The two sides paid a heavy price for this, and the strong smell of blood permeated the Annan Pass, and one by one the fresh lives were wiped out!

Blood!

Meat! It's a human corpse!

Weapons! Stained with blood and corpses!

Lose your mind and kill people!

It wasn't until the pass was piled up with corpses, the remnants of the sun were like blood, and at sunset and dusk, the armies on both sides were very tired, Dong Junyue was unwilling to give the order to retreat, the horn sounded, and the soldiers of Qi Tianhou slowly withdrew.

The corpses were piled up, and after statistics, in just half a day, nearly 10,000 soldiers were killed in the Qi Tianhou Kingdom, and more than 5,000 soldiers were killed in the Tang Kingdom.

In this regard, Dong Junyue was angry, but not sad, in his opinion, the soldiers did not conquer the Annam Pass, it was they who were incompetent!

He is noble, why should he care about the life and death of thousands of people!

After being furious, he clearly realized that if the Martial King was not removed, the Annan Pass would be difficult to break, and with his current strength, it would be difficult for him to kill with one blow.

After thinking about it, he took out a note, dipped it in pen and ink, and quickly wrote:

"Tell the Lord, the Tang Dynasty was shocked by the three kings, the ministers were incompetent, they failed to defeat, and asked for support!"

After a while, a carrier pigeon, with a secret report, flew all the way south from thousands of miles away to Qi Yan City!

At this time, inside the Annan Pass, Zhao Yun's face was full of solemnity, his face was slightly pale, he sat cross-legged at the table, and by the flickering candlelight, he wrote in the secret newspaper:

"Tell the king, today's battle, it seems to be a peace, but in fact it is a defeat, the enemy's armament is strong, our side is not as good, after today's battle, the enemy army will have the support of the martial king, I hope the court will make plans early!"

After Zhao Yun finished writing, he walked to the window, picked up a carrier pigeon, released it into the sky, spread his wings and flew high, all the way north, and flew back to Chang'an.

After everything was done, he picked up the porcelain bowl on the table, looked at the black potion, drank it dry in one gulp, his face was slightly ruddy, he put on silver armor, held the green sword, and went out to check the camp!

The state of war, three checks a day, has become the norm!

The carrier pigeons on both sides, the battle reports on both sides, I don't know where the war situation will be pushed, and no one can predict the future.

I only knew that a few days later, King Qi Tianhou saw the secret report and thought of the information sent by Luo Wangwei, saying that there were already five martial kings in the Tang Kingdom, and after a little hesitation, he sent four martial kings to support.

Of course, the five Martial King powerhouses are just Luo Wangwei's inquiry, but in fact, there are already six Martial Kings in Datang!

The carrier pigeons that set off from Annan Pass, after two days of flight, finally arrived in Chang'an, looked at the moon in the Ming Palace, and finally flew into the edge of the palace, a simple house.

As soon as the carrier pigeon landed, it was discovered by several eunuchs, and they immediately took it out, not daring to overstep it slightly, and ran to the imperial study as fast as possible and presented it to Li Tang.

Looking at the few crosses, combined with the information conveyed by the Bloody Guard, Li Tang knew that the front line was already in danger, and immediately ordered loudly:

"Passing on the blood clothes, the evil sword immortal, Yuan Bin will see you!"

"No!"

Immediately, there were three eunuchs, holding tokens, and ran out of the palace, with a premonition in their hearts that something big was about to happen.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the three of them walked into the palace, and saw Li Tang handing over the secret report, and after taking it, they hurriedly investigated, and finally the evil sword fairy and Zhang Gonggong knelt down and said:

"The last general is willing to go and support the general!"

"Accurate!"

Li Tang nodded, his heart relaxed, he knew the ability of the evil sword immortal, the body was transformed, as long as the aura was not exhausted, as long as the resentment lasted, it was immortal, and it was still very easy to single out a few martial kings.

Then he looked at Yuan Bin and asked loudly: "How about the matter of Luo Wangwei?"

After Yuan Bin heard this, he hurriedly reported: "According to the surveillance, they are going to assassinate Lord Shangshulu of the Ministry of Industry!"

"Luban!"

Li Tang said in a low voice, combined with the form in front of him, and suddenly realized: "Could it be that there is progress in ordnance research?"

After thinking about it, the person assassinated by Luo Wangwei must have an important impact on the battle situation, otherwise he would not risk being exposed and carry out the assassination operation.

Yuan Bin nodded and said: "That's right, combined with the drawings, the Ministry of Engineering has already researched the Xuantie Arrow, and now the arrow crossbow is being built, and success is close at hand!"

"Okay! Yuan Bin, this king orders you to protect Lu Ban!"

Li Tang was overjoyed and said heartily, his voice echoed in the hall, but Yuan Bin showed a wry smile and said:

"Your Majesty, in order to lure out Luo Wangwei, Weichen discussed with Lu Shangshu, and let him be used as a bait to lure out the potential threat of the Tang Kingdom! For the sake of the stability of the Tang Dynasty, Lu Shangshu has already agreed!"

Li Tang's smile stiffened, and he sat on the dragon chair, falling into silence, he knew that this was a perfect opportunity, and once he succeeded, he would kill two birds with one stone.

"Your Majesty, those who achieve great things are not informal, comfort the Tang Dynasty, and perpetuate the society, this is the best way!"

Yuan Bin knelt on the ground and persuaded loudly.

After being silent for a while, Li Tang nodded and said, "The plan can be agreed, but this king must participate!"

"This ......"

Yuan Bin's face changed slightly, and he didn't know how to dissuade him for a while, how could the lord of the country take risks?

"Okay, this matter is settled, this king hides in the shadows to protect his Aiqing's safety. ”

Without giving Yuan Bin a chance to refute, Li Tang waved his hand and made up his mind.

"Wechen obeys!"

Thinking that Li Tang was already a martial king, and there should be no danger, Yuan Bin nodded helplessly, and endless gratitude and admiration rose in his heart!

In ancient times, there were courtiers who risked their lives to defend the king, and they were beautiful and fragrant through the ages;

Now there is a king who secretly guards the ministers, and it will be immortal through the ages!

Half an hour later, Li Tang quietly left the palace under the cover of ordinary guard clothes and secretly went to the Ministry of Works.

The Ministry of Industry, near the Imperial Palace, is a very large building, divided into a section of three supervisors, the Ministry refers to the Ministry of Works, for the management body, the three supervisors are the military supervisor, the forging supervisor, the craftsman director, the three perform their duties!

Outside the building, the security was heavily guarded, few people came, and inside the building, hundreds of officials and thousands of blacksmiths were busy, and even Li Tang and Yuan Bin did not attract their attention when they arrived.

"Your Majesty, Lu Shangshu is generally in the forging prison and developing weapons, should we wait here, or go over and take a look?"

After entering the Ministry of Industry, Yuan Bin asked respectfully.

"Let's go, go to the forging prison, this king wants to see how the sharp weapons of the Tang Dynasty are created. ”

Li Tang said without hesitation, and under the leadership of Yuan Bin, he walked through the corridor and came to the outside of the forging prison.

"Clank!"

Before I walked in, I heard the sound of striking iron, crisp and pleasant, like a symphony, pushed the door in, a heat wave rushed in, higher than the hot summer, the temperature was higher.

Introduced in front of you, it is a room, in each room, there are several men, pulling the bellows, the fire in the stove, beating and rising with the beat of the bellows, the iron tools placed on it are red, the sledgehammer beats the blade, and then put it into the water to complete the quenching.

After inspecting around, thousands of weapons were baked, looking at the cold weapons, it was very spectacular, Li Tang saw this, thought of the importance of weapons, and ordered loudly:

"Ten thousand craftsmen strike iron, ten thousand soldiers are sealed, and the blacksmith hereditary system is a lord!"

"The king is shengming!"

At this time, Lu Ban came from the front wearing a cloth robe, with a face full of admiration, with this kind of system, the number of blacksmiths will increase, and Datang will not be worried about weapons!

No worries about weapons, sufficient inventory, strong army, strong national strength!

At this time, outside the military headquarters, more than a dozen figures rose and fell, and finally disappeared.
