Chapter 66: The Eve of the War

Because of the last incident, Lin Xiao's relationship with chocolate has dropped to the freezing point, and he hasn't said a word for more than two months. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Lin Xiao's expression was a little hesitant, but she still walked slowly towards the lounge where the chocolate often stayed, turned the corner, and saw her lying quietly on the sofa, eating small dried fish.

"Chocolate ......" Lin Xiao stood at the door and whispered, "Thank you very much this time!" ”

"Humph!"

Chocolate ignored it and continued to eat the small dried fish, as if he didn't hear it.

Lin Xiao was a little helpless, didn't stop, turned around and was about to leave, only to hear a word from behind.

Chocolate turned her head and said as a matter of course, "Hey, my reward, pervert!" ”

"Uh, of course, chocolate, what reward do you want?"

Lin Xiao looked at Chocolate's strange expression and had an ominous premonition.

"Like cutting off the perverted beep."

“……”

"If this doesn't work, let's come here with 10,000 boxes of dried fish."

“……”

"Hey, pervert, don't go!" Chocolate hurriedly got up and ran over quickly, blocking in front of Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao shook his head, looked at the cat lady in front of him who was shorter than himself, and said, "I'm not a pervert. ”

Hearing this, Chocolate snorted lightly, clasped her arms with both hands, and said disdainfully: "Pervert, since you can't do the first two requirements, then I have one last request!" ”

"I want to hear about it."

"Help...... Help draw a character of mine. After saying that, Chocolate turned her head a little shyly.

"This ......"

Lin Xiao was a little embarrassed, although he was a book painter, but now he has no tools, and it is impossible to paint if he wants to.

Seeing that Lin Xiao didn't agree for a long time, Chocolate's eyes dimmed, a little disappointed, and muttered, "Isn't it okay?" ”

"Wrap it up on me." Seeing this, Lin Xiao agreed, and then said, "But I don't have the tools now, I'll find an opportunity to help you draw in the future." ”

"Hmm." Only then did Chocolate smile and hurriedly pushed Lin Xiao out.

Lin Xiao left the colonial warship and was about to eat something to fill his stomach, but when he was halfway there, he only saw Lin Xue standing not far away, quietly watching him.

He was a little strange, walked over, and tried to ask, "Lin Xue, are you okay?" ”

Lin Xue nodded and said softly, "Brother, Xiaoxue wants to learn martial arts. ”

"You're not in good health, it's not appropriate to study this." Lin Xiao reminded that Lin Xue's physique was already very poor, and I was afraid that she would not be able to bear it.

"Oh." Lin Xue didn't speak, and left here a little discouraged.

Seeing Lin Xue leave, Lin Xiao turned around and continued to hurry.

……

Xiaozhou City has developed rapidly, and in just half a year, the technology for manufacturing weapons has matured.

Large buildings were erected on the ground, and two military construction arsenals were built to make guns and ammunition.

Because of the discovery of flint mines, arquebuses were eliminated and gradually equipped with flintlock muskets, which also included rifled flintlock pistols, but they were difficult to make and not in large quantities.

Smoothbore guns were also mass-produced, with 10 6-pounder smoothbore guns and 2 12-pounder smoothbore guns.

With so much equipment, Lin Xiao also expanded his troops and established two line infantry regiments, which were his most powerful combat power at present.

After such a long time, his spies also infiltrated Huangsha City, and also bribed a small officer in the army, and got a lot of information from him.

From the information received, the war between the Kingdom of Middleearth and the Kingdom of Osha fell behind, and even lost a province.

According to the news from the front, it seems that Osha was equipped with an advanced firearm and defeated the kingdom of Middle-earth.

The king of the Middle-earth Kingdom, who was beaten, sued for peace not long ago, but the result has not yet been reported.

Among them, there was also a matter that was unfavorable to Lin Xiao, and the nobles of Huangsha City stabbed his matter into the king.

As long as he asks for and succeeds, Huangsha City will send an army to exterminate his troops and acquire firearms technology.

After Lin Xiao learned the news, he would not sit still, since the other party wanted to find trouble for himself, he had to pay a heavy price!

Gathering the soldiers, he set out for the town of Eri on the same day.

The two legions passed through Huangsha City, and the civilians inside were also a little curious, it was the first time they had seen such a large army.

Not only that, but the clothing and weapons of the soldiers of the line infantry regiment are different from those of other troops, which attracts a lot of attention.

The two most important things are that after so much time together, the gray civilians are no longer afraid of these human soldiers.

Lin Xiao is not a wicked person, as long as he doesn't go against him, he is still very talkative.

He wasn't very good at dealing with the Grey commoners, nor was he bad, but to them, he was a benevolent man, many times better than those nobles.

Coupled with religious propaganda, there were even ballads praising Lin Xiao in the territory, which made him cry and laugh.

He didn't pay much attention to these, he was more concerned about the next intelligence, and only two days later, news came from Huangsha City.

The kingdom of Auth had agreed to the peace of Middle-earth, and for this they had paid a great deal of money by ceding one of the provinces and a large area of territory around it.

Not only that, but also compensated a lot of money, and even gave the princess to marry.

After the truce between the two sides, they naturally came to find trouble with Lin Xiao, and learned from the spies that they were already gathering troops and horses, numbering no less than 20,000, and would start a war in 3 days.

"Three days later?"

Lin Xiao sneered, and came to the map on the table, after staying here for so long, the map has been drawn out, and there is no need to think about it as before.

"We're in Alley Town now, less than 70 kilometers from Huangsha City, what do you think they will do when they gather troops?" Lin Xiao asked the two regiment leaders beside him.

"Report to the Divine Envoy, as far as I guess, these feudal nobles are likely to enter the town of Linsha, which is less than 20 kilometers away from Ella, where they can directly threaten the town of Dao Aili."

"If so, at the speed of their march, it will be there in 2 days."

Lin Xiao was silent, and then said, "Since this is the case, then we will fight him in an ambush battle!" ”

"Yes!"

The officers in the room quickly retreated and began to prepare supplies and logistics.

The most important thing is to enter a wartime state, and the entire territory is directly on guard, prohibiting travel, so as not to have spies to report the news.

Just as Lin Xiao was nervously preparing, the feudal nobles of Huangsha City had already taken action, and their task this time was very heavy, they had to defeat this group of enemies in the territory and obtain technology.

Although the king also tried to obtain technology from the Osai Kingdom, it was still necessary to have another channel, but the king did not take the small group of enemies here in Huangsha Town to heart.
