Chiyan Pass had already been recaptured by Zeng Fan's army, and two million troops were sent to guard Chiyan Pass. The reinforcements of the Yunyang Kingdom have not yet arrived, and the tens of millions of Yunyang soldiers who were besieged in the valley have become lone soldiers.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, the emperor Zeng Fan personally picked up the wind and washed the dust for Zhang Jun and other people. More than 20 commander-level bigwigs attended the banquet in person.

I have heard the name of Zhang Jun, the youngest dean of Dongshan College, but I met him younger than I imagined, only about twenty years old, and he was an ordinary-looking teenager. I can't help but let everyone down a little. But seeing that Huaiwang Zeng Yan, Ouyang Ye, Xie Xianren, Feng Feng and other four people cared for Zhang Jun, he couldn't help but wonder what Zhang Jun had attracted the favor of these four big forces.

"Brother Zhang Jun, you are here, but what good news do you have for me?"

"Fortunately, three types of firearms, namely thunder artillery, thunder rockets, and gasoline*, have been successfully developed, and they are very powerful, so we will find a place to demonstrate them later. Zhang Jun bowed down and said, no matter what, Zeng Fan is the emperor of the tens of billions of people in the Red Blood Country, and he must give enough face in front of everyone, but it is absolutely impossible to kneel like other courtiers.

"Hehe, that's great, these days the valley can't be attacked for a long time, and the opponent's generalissimo Leng Xiang'er is particularly powerful in arranging troops, he is just delaying time with us, so that the army of Yunyang Kingdom should be joined by the outside. To tell you the truth, this war is related to the life and death of the Red Blood Country, and I sit on pins and needles every day, big brother. ”。

"Then don't waste time, find a place to demonstrate it for the eldest brother, you can rest assured, hehe......" Zhang Jun stretched out his hand and pulled Zeng Fan's hand as if he was walking out.

"A bold courtier, who dares to stretch out his hand to drag the emperor, is an unforgivable sin. Come on, take him down. Generalissimo Chu Tian shouted angrily.

"It's okay, Brother Zhang Jun is not from my red-blooded country, you don't have to be formal, just be commensurate with my brother, you should treat me Brother Zhang Jun as respectful as I am. Zeng Fan said to the subordinates behind him. Chu Tian has a special status in the Red Blood Country, he is loyal to the royal family and has made great contributions, and it is impossible for Zeng Fan to reprimand him.

Chu Tian was speechless for a moment, he had never seen the emperor Zeng Fan so close to people, could it be that Zhang Jun really had something extraordinary, he couldn't help but take a few steps back and look at Zhang Jun a few more times.

"Uncle Yanhuang, all the heads of the family, I came to talk to my brother Zhang Jun just now, please forgive me for neglecting you. Zeng Fan turned around and said to Zhang Jun's four masters.

"It's okay, as long as we don't neglect our apprentices, if we find out that the royal family is disrespectful to Zhang Jun, we will personally go to the royal family to ask for an explanation, hahaha......" King Huai said loudly. The Colorful Continent respects martial arts, and most of the various sects and the royal family are cooperative relations, so they are not as awe-inspiring as courtiers, but get along like friends.

"You ...... Apprentice?" Zeng Fan said suspiciously.

"Haha, you don't know this, Zhang Jun officially worships the four of us as teachers, and we have accepted him as a registered disciple. ”。

"You ...... Hey, it's too fast."

"The best demon talent, it's too late for us to start, Brother Guo Yangming, he is more prescient than us."

Chu Tian and the commanders' eyes almost didn't pop out, they had never heard of one palace, four courtyards and five sects being so kind, and they could share an apprentice. Such a strange thing happened to Zhang Jun, and I couldn't help but value Zhang Jun a little more.

Not long after, Zhang Jun, Zeng Fan and others came to the ring in the square.

"The power of thunder artillery and thunder rockets is too great, so I'll show you the least powerful gasoline*!" After speaking, Zhang Jun took out a gasoline* from the Qiankun bag, opened the wooden cork, pulled the silk thread, threw it casually, and flew out of the 100-meter distance.

With a loud "boom", the ring was all for a while, and a fire shot up into the sky, forming a sea of fire within a radius of five or six zhang, and the iron nails blown out by the air wave flew out more than ten zhang away.

"My God!!" Zeng Fan couldn't help but shout, the least powerful gasoline * power can burn dozens of people at once, not to mention the iron nail hidden weapon that was blown farther away, the power is even more amazing.

Except for Zhang Jun's four masters, everyone was shocked by the power of this gasoline*.

Zhang Jun's four masters were even more proud. looked at the stunned crowd with a smile.

"Thunder artillery is tens or hundreds of times more powerful than gasoline*, and the range of thunder rockets is longer and more accurate than gasoline*. ”。

Everyone suddenly looked at Zhang Jun with a hint of awe, even Zeng Fan.

"Pass on my will, canonize Zhang Jun as the second rank palace minister, the minister of firearms, the minister of oil refining, all the oil refining valleys and oil refining lakes of the Red Blood Country, including all the craftsmen related to them, and all other matters are in charge of Zhang Jun. and formed a new army of firearms with millions of soldiers, with Zhang Jun as the commander. Reward the emperor with a flag, a palace, and a thousand servants. Zeng Fan tried his best to win over Zhang Jun. It is also a recognition of the power of Zhang Junlei's artillery.

Chu Tian and the others were dissatisfied in their hearts, after all, the power of the commander-in-chief was very great, and it was not easy to get it, they were all honors that many generations of people had fought for the royal family. I can't help but have some opinions about the emperor's rashness in my heart.

"Zhang Jun obeys the order, and he will not disappoint the emperor." Zhang Jun was very happy about this arrangement, after all, the thunder artillery was built by himself. How could it be handed over to someone else.

After the reception banquet, Zhang Jun, the imperial lord Zeng Fan, and the generalissimo Chu Tian climbed on the peaks around the valley and looked down on the environment in the valley. It is not accurate to say that he is a valley and should belong to the basin. Three hundred miles from east to west, two hundred miles from north to south, the valley is surrounded by thousands of mountain peaks, and the light is like a mirror. This valley is like being smashed into the ground by a huge meteorite in an instant, the inner wall is as smooth as a mirror, but the outer wall is covered with mountains and trees.

A passage in the valley runs from north to south, and each has a narrow valley mouth less than a thousand zhang wide, and both valley entrances are guarded by the army of the Red Blood Country. The tens of millions of troops of the Yunyang Kingdom were surrounded in a narrow valley, and no matter how powerful the force was, it was useless, and it was not possible to break through the defense of the valley mouth hundreds of times.

Zhang Jun's eyesight was excellent, and he carefully watched the environment in the valley, which was densely forested and full of green trees.

The army of Yunyang State built many camps along the mountain, which were neatly aligned, and stretched for 300 miles from east to west. There is only one large river in the whole valley, and the waterfall at its source is hundreds of feet high and shoots down from the eastern mountains, which is the only source of water in the valley. Zhang Jun and Zeng Fan stood not far from the water source.

"This valley is like a cage, as long as you guard the lower end of the river and both sides of the valley mouth, no matter how strong your martial arts are, it will be difficult to fly," Zeng Fan said to Zhang Jun.

"It's indeed a natural cage, but the environment in the valley is complicated, they build a camp along the mountain, if we attack from the valley, I'm afraid that we will fall into the enemy's encirclement, right?" Zhang Jun said after seeing the situation clearly.

"yes, we've been defending rather than attacking these days. The main reason is that there is no way to break through each one, and after several attempts, they were all flanked and counter-besieged, killing and wounding more than 100,000 people. Now there is no way but to trap them first. ”

"Attacking is not the way, both sides will suffer heavy casualties, it seems that only outwitting and dividing and disintegrating is the right way. ”

"Do you have any good advice, brother?"

"The lives of tens of millions of people are not a small amount, if it is against heaven and peace to kill everyone, the best way now is to attack the heart and break the enemy's will to fight, and victory will be achieved in this war. Zhang Jun replied.

"In this way, big brother, you go and do a few things first, first, select 100,000 martial arts cultivators who know how to throw stones in the whole army, second, select 100,000 marksmen and 200,000 auxiliary marksmen, and third, gather the three-person giant crossbows in the army. Fourth, I will gather 200,000 marksmen to my tent. These 600,000 men and the giant crossbows were sent to my camp, and I trained them myself. Then there is the mobilization of 100,000 skilled craftsmen to camp in the back of my camp, and wait for my orders. I'll study the matter of attacking the heart. ”

"By the way, there is another matter, my eldest brother helped me find 500,000 people to bring digging tools, and 10,000 literati who are good at writing to gather here at the waterfall. Zhang Jun asked for millions of people in one go, each with its own division of labor, Zeng Fan was a little confused, and he didn't know what Zhang Jun was doing.

"In this case, brother, I will now make a decree to appoint you as the deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, and coordinate all the military affairs of the valley, what you said before, I will prepare for you immediately, and you have the right to mobilize any forces in the future. It's a little more convenient that way. ”

"It's just that Brother Zhang Jun must not underestimate the enemy, this time it is Leng Xiang'er, the little princess of Yunyang Kingdom, who is known as a double genius, the first beauty of Yunyang Kingdom, and the first cultivation master among the young generation of Yunyang Kingdom, and has extremely high military literacy and rich combat experience. Zeng Fan reminded Zhang Jun and said.

"Don't worry, big brother, I'm sure to take them down and defeat them. It only takes half a month to force them to surrender. I want to see what the first beauty in Yunyang looks like. Hehe..... "Zhang Jun was overjoyed, he didn't expect Zeng Fan to trust him so much. Zhang Jun, who has liked the story of marching and fighting since he was a child, saw the environment in the valley and was sure that he would win this battle. It's just that I didn't expect that the other party's hand turned out to be a woman leading the soldiers.

Familiar with the story of the Three Kingdoms, referring to the story of Guan Yu's flooding of the Seventh Army and Ma Tan's lost street pavilion, Zhang Jun combined it perfectly. The formation mode of the army of Yunyang Kingdom is like a horse, taking root in the mountains. It's just that Leng Xiang'er is much more shrewd than Ma Yan, and the two sides of the river look at each other, and the formations rely on each other, and this formation is especially powerful in defense.

It's just that what he met was Zhang Jun, a military wizard who knew how to learn and apply.

Guan Yu is flooded the Seventh Army, Zhang Jun wants to cut off the Seventh Army this time, the tens of millions of troops will be panicked if there is no water for one day, out of control if there is no water for two days, and chaos if there is no water for three days.

What's more, Zhang Jun not only broke off the Seventh Army, but also planned to roast the Seventh Army and disturb the Seventh Army, a three-pronged approach.

In the afternoon, 500,000 soldiers and civilians took the lead in coming, and Zhang Jun led 500,000 people to dig a canal according to the advantages of the terrain, and opened a river channel from the upper reaches of the waterfall, bypassing the valley, and flowing from the periphery of the valley to the river outside the valley on the other side.

This project is not small, Zhang Jun appointed craftsmen who understand the geography of mountains and rivers to lead the excavation of the river. It took 500,000 soldiers and civilians ten days to dredge the entire river day and night, and only the last step of drainage was needed to complete the entire project.

10,000 literati wrote at least millions of letters of persuasion, the content of which was written by Zhang Jun himself, and the content was extremely touching, tear-jerking and heart-wrenching when emotional, and making people despair and disintegrating their will when they were reasonable. This method of attacking the heart was widely used in World War II. The effect is particularly noticeable.

After everything was arranged, Zhang Jun left the excavation team on the same day and returned to the firearms army camp.
