The soldiers of the border army took advantage of the hazy sky to quietly climb the ladder and kill people when they saw them.

At this time, Chen Baocheng was asleep, and heard a fierce shouting outside the window, and he was alert, so he hurriedly called the guards and asked the reason.

Wang Rui was still asleep with the dancing girl in his arms, and suddenly a large group of people ran in and said, "General! The rebels are attacking! The gates have fallen! ”

When Wang Rui heard this, he was immediately dumbfounded, he looked at the generals around him, sighed, and said helplessly: "It's so far!" Everyone, let's move closer to the capital! ”

"You dare! General Wang quickly get up and lead your men to repel the rebels! Otherwise military law engages! ”

When Wang Rui heard this, he looked up at the person who said this, and he was so frightened that he rolled out of bed.

"King Jing'an! The subordinates are rude! But now we are not retreating! I'm afraid it will be wiped out! ”

"If you and I retreat now! Losing Letong, the rebels only need to pass through Changxun, Huangchuan, and Yunxi to reach the front of the Shengwu Pass, once the Shengwu Pass falls, the capital Luo'an will be in danger, and the Jiangshan Sheji of the New Song Dynasty will be shaken! Do you understand? ”

"I understand! But the rebels are fierce! The minister just wants to retreat to Changxun and is planning! ”

"I don't see you understand! You are a courtier! The country is in trouble! Don't worry about the king! What do I want you to do with my new song! ”

"The last general knows that he is wrong! Organize your men and horses to retake the city gates! Beat the rebels out and go with it. ”

"General Wang thinks so! is a good courtier of my new Song Dynasty! After this battle, this king personally asks for credit to the king for you! ”

"Then rely on the prince more!"

After Wang Rui finished speaking, he put on his armor, took a spear, and led his men and horses to kill at the city gate of Letong.

However, he had not far from Letong's military camp on horseback, when suddenly a group of men and horses wearing black cloaks and red armor, all with hideous masks on their faces, appeared in front of him.

Seeing this, Wang Rui shouted: "It's not good! It's the Fire Cloud Ride! Crossbowmen prepare! ”

Before he could finish his order, Huoyun Rider raised his knife and killed, cutting Zhao Rui's head off his horse with a single sword.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Rui's men and horses saw that the coach was killed, and they were so frightened that they panicked and fled in all directions.

But none of them escaped the iron hooves of the Fire Cloud Rider, and most of them died tragically under the sword of the Fire Cloud Rider.

Fortunately, An Tong arrived in time to save the remaining part and incorporate it into his own people.

Under the guidance of these surrendered troops, An Tong took Huoyun Cavalry, and soon found the military camp where Chen Baocheng, the king of Jing'an, was staying

Rushed in.

After Huoyun rode into the barracks, he saw a mess, and Chen Baocheng and his remaining pro-army had long since disappeared.

Huoyun Rider truthfully reported the situation to An Tong.

When she heard this, she stomped her foot angrily, and then immediately thought of a place, so she ran over with the Fire Cloud Ride.

At this time, Chen Baocheng was desperately running to the north gate, when An Tong chased to the north gate, Chen Baocheng had already opened the door and fled, An Tong stood on the city wall, looking at Chen Baocheng's escape route, and yelled angrily.

The commander of the Fire Cloud Cavalry stepped forward and said to An Tong, "Generalissimo! Do you want us to hunt him down? ”

"No need! Since he went to Changxun! Then the new Song King will not be sending others to guard there! For our army! Chen Baocheng guards the long search! The best candidate! ”

"The herald gives the order! After a day of cultivation in Letong, he ordered all military camps to hurry up to make cupola dragons and gunpowder packs, and prepare to attack Changxun tomorrow! ”

After An Tong conveyed the order, he rode around the city of Letong on horseback under the escort of the Huoyun Rider.

After the people in the city saw her, they all hid in Tibet, An Tong curiously called a little boy, took out a gold leaf from his body, and asked him, "You tell my sister honestly!" Why are these people afraid of me? ”

The little boy stared at An Tong for a long time before he said, "A-Niang! It's not this sister written on the announcement! ”

Seeing that she was exposed, a middle-aged woman hurriedly walked up to An Tong with a cower, and said to An Tong: "General! My son is young! But the heart is not mature! If you eat it, eat the slave's house! ”

An Tong listened to her words and asked puzzledly, "Sister-in-law! Who's going to eat your hearts? This generalissimo is not a goblin! What do you do with eating your heart? ”

At this time, Huoyun Rider tore off the announcement on the wall in front of him, handed it to An Tong and said, "Generalissimo! Look! ”

An Tong picked up the announcement of the New Song Dynasty court, and after reading it, he gritted his teeth angrily.

"Where is this announcement talking about people! Let's talk about man-eating monsters! ”

An Tong relieved his eyebrows and stomach slightly, and the middle-aged woman said, "Sister-in-law! I raised my army so that the people would no longer suffer from the sickness of the faint king. It's not about eating human hearts! ”

After listening to An Tong's heartfelt words, the middle-aged woman stepped forward and said to the crowd of onlookers: "I believe this girl!" She speaks with clear eyes! ”

An Tong listened to her words and laughed along.

At this time, Song Siliang rode over on horseback.

After he jumped off the horse, he said to An Tong: "Changxun counts Chen Baocheng's people and horses as many as 200,000!" The generalissimo decided not to conscript and fight later? ”

"Conscription or conscription! But Marshal Song! I won't be in Beijing for a day! The corpse of the Taishi will not be able to be buried for a day! I'm in a hurry! ”

"If that's the case! Let's take all the old subordinates first, but we will fight for a long time! Recruit new soldiers to defend the city! What do you think? ”

"Just according to Marshal Song's! In the current situation! That's all there is to it! ”

After hearing this, Song Siliang nodded, and then said, "I think the raid battle is very good!" The generalissimo thought about it, and I went back to the camp first. ”

An Tong looked at the figure of Song Siliang riding away, and suddenly thought of the blitzkrieg in modern society.

So she ordered the Fire Cloud Rider to be the vanguard, and decided to use the blitzkrieg to quickly break through the long search.

Before Song Siliang arrived at the barracks, he was ordered by An Tong to assemble a large army quickly.

He smiled, knowing that An Tong had adopted his suggestion, but he didn't expect this little girl to be so anxious.

An Tong returned to the barracks and saw that the generals were waiting in the lobby, so he pointed to the sand table in the middle of the hall and said, "This time we will let the cavalry take the lead!" The crossbowmen followed, the infantry followed, and the artillery baggage was all left behind, so there was no need to follow the army!"

A general with a scar on his face, after listening to An Tong's words, stepped forward and asked, "Generalissimo!" The last general has heard of cavalry fighting in the front! But it's the first time I've heard of such large weapons as artillery, which doesn't follow the army! ”

"You're General Lee! Listen to Marshal Song talk about your courage and ability to fight! I have only one purpose in this adjustment, which is to allow the army to march quickly! ”

"Artillery and other large weapons followed, but not in the marching ranks!"

"This increases the level of agitation in combat, and it is better to be able to install the bottom of the gun with wheels that can run, so that there is no need for human dragging."

"Siege troops! Any ladder rush car must be modified, so that they are light and can move quickly with the army! In this way, we can fight better! ”

After Song Siliang and the generals listened to An Tong's words, their eyes widened and they looked puzzled.

Seeing this, An Tong suddenly felt the backwardness of the ancients, so he said: "Don't attack Changxun first, after transforming the equipment, are you attacking?" ”

After hearing this, Song Siliang finally couldn't help but ask, "What is equipment?" ”

"It's a weapon! Can't you read more? Never mind! I'll tell you you don't understand either! Go and bring me all the craftsmen in the same city. ”

After Song Siliang heard this, he immediately posted a list in the city, and for a while, craftsmen inside and outside the barracks flocked to him, but after they heard An Tong's description, they all left here disappointed, and they didn't forget to scold in a whisper when they left: "This person has a sick brain!" ”

Looking at the craftsmen in the city

There was not much left, and Song Siliang also began to worry.

Suddenly, an old man striking iron came from the blacksmith shop in the city, and he said to An Tong: "Generalissimo! What you want, the old man will do! ”

After An Tong heard this, he immediately treated him as a guest, and after three days of meeting, he made what An Tong wanted, and there was only one condition, so that 500 soldiers could listen to him!

An Tong immediately agreed, and then allocated five hundred soldiers for his command.

Two days passed in a blink of an eye, and Song Siliang ran to An Tong and said, "Generalissimo!" I heard from my subordinates that this old man was nothing but cutting down trees! Just make small parts, can he make what you want? ”

After listening to Song Siliang's words, An Tong also began to be a little worried, but if he checked the production on the spot because of distrust, I was afraid that it would hurt the old man's heart.

When she thought of this, she forced herself not to think about these things, and spent her days wandering the streets, visiting places of interest, and even when she was lonely and bored, she actually went to the Qinglou to drink flower wine.

The three days were soon coming, and An Tong led the generals to stand in the barracks, when suddenly a wooden sports car ran up to them.

After Song Siliang and the generals looked at it, they walked to the front, only found one cannon barrel in front, and nothing else.

Just at this time, the old man got out of the gun carriage, he walked up to An Tong, and said proudly: "Generalissimo! The gun carriage is made! Do you think so? ”

An Tong happily looked at the gun carriage in front of him, and asked with a smile: "Dare to ask Mr." How did you get the gun carriage moving! ”

When the old man heard this, he clapped his hands, and then a wooden board fell from the top of the barrel, and I saw two people stepping on a small waterwheel to control the gun cart.

An Tong was overjoyed and said, "Mr. is a great contribution!" If you have any requirements, just ask! ”

"The old man only needs a hundred taels of gold! I don't know if the generalissimo can give it! ”

"I can give! But sir, I have a request! Go back and lead those five hundred soldiers, and make me a hundred chariots at once, and I will give you another hundred taels!" ”

After hearing this, the old man smiled and said, "Don't worry, Generalissimo!" You sent my soldiers, and now they are assembling artillery wagons, estimated at seventy or eighty units! ”

After listening to his words, An Tong replied with a smile: "Mr. is really a heavenly man!" Did you come down to wish me a hand! ”

After hearing this, the old man took a hundred taels of gold, and said happily: "This is the ancient Xuanyuan car method!" I didn't expect it to be still useful today! ”
