Zhou Tianci sneered and said, "No, no, I really have something to do, so I won't bother." ”

As he spoke, Zhou Tianci arched his hand with a smile on his face, turned around and walked out.

Turning around and walking outside, the three slightly cold gazes staring at Zhou Tianci finally disappeared. Zhou Tianci breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart that his previous conversation with Ye Crazy Dao seemed to have made the three saints and beauties want to beat me a little, and this Ye senior finally wanted to leave me to taste their craftsmanship......

These three saint beauties, they must be willing to learn to cook for Ye Crazy Knife, but if they want to cook for their own offspring, I am afraid they will not be happy......

Under the slightly cold gaze of the three of them, Zhou Tianci decisively chose to slip away, but he didn't want to taste any craftsmanship.

"Zhou Tianci!"

Zhou Tianci turned around and walked out, but before he had walked far, a voice suddenly came from behind him. But this time, it was not Ye Crazy Dao who spoke, but Mu Xi, the fourth princess of Mo Khan.

Zhou Tianci paused when he heard this, turned around, and said with a smile on his face: "Senior Mu, I don't know what else is going on?" ”

Mu Xi took a few steps in the direction of Zhou Tianci, and after getting closer, she looked at Zhou Tianci, her eyes drooped slightly, and she said, "I have one thing I want to ask you for." ”

Zhou Tianci saw that Mu Xi's expression was very serious, and even with a hint of sentimentality, as if he wanted to leave himself to find fault, so he also straightened down and said, "The seniors have something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Mu Xi was silent for a moment, then looked at Zhou Tianci and said, "I heard that you are going to lead the Song army on the Northern Expedition, if you hit Mo Khan...... Can you let my father live? I, Mu Xi, will always remember your kindness. ”

Zhou Tianci said seriously: "The predecessor is serious, you are now the wife of the predecessor Ye, then you are my friend of Zhou Tianci, and you are from our Song Kingdom." Don't worry, as long as your father doesn't burn himself, I will never hurt his life. ”

Mu Xi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, nodded and said, "Then I'll rest assured, thank you." ”

Zhou Tianci bowed slightly, then bowed his hand towards Mu Xi, turned around and left the garden.

After leaving Ye Maddao's mansion, a relaxed smile with satisfaction appeared on Zhou Tianci's face, and he went to the sky against the wind and began to return north to the east

Foot.

This trip to the south, although Ye Maddao was not invited to come to the Northern Expedition to help, but the results obtained were also very satisfactory.

Now Ouyang Shenyue, Mu Xi, and Mei Wu have all become Ye Crazy Dao's ladies, and they have given up their power and glory for him, and they no longer care about the affairs of the country. In this way, the saints of Xia Xi, Da Yu, and Mo Khan will only be left and right protectors Tong Li, Yi Heng, and Mo Khan's national teacher.

If only these three people were left, and they were scattered in the two countries, Zhou Tianci alone would be enough to deal with it.

After leaving Ye Maddao's mansion, Zhou Tian gave out of Jiangning Mansion, rested day and night, and returned to Tokyo a day later.

After Zhou Tianci left Jiangning Mansion, he rested day and night, and a day later, he returned to Tokyo.

Ten days after Zhou Tianci returned to Tokyo, all the matters of the Northern Expedition were finally almost ready, and the 150,000 Northern Expedition army decided to swear to go on the expedition the next day.

On the day of the expedition, the 150,000 Northern Expeditionary Army was divided into two routes, led by Chai Shirong, Zhao Kuangyun, and Yang Haonan on the left, with a total of 70,000 people, and went north out of Gyeongju to attack Xia Xi.

The right route was led by Zhou Tianci, He Jingyun, and Yang Si, with a total of 80,000 people, and went north out of Zhending Mansion to attack Dacai.

Among them, the 30,000 Heavenly Soldier Ace Army, which had been equipped with firearms on a large scale, was also divided into two parts, one part followed the Left Route Army, and the other part followed the Right Route Army.

Four days later, Zhou Tianci led 80,000 right-hand troops and drove to the border city of Caiguo.

The country had long received information that the Song army was going to go on a northern expedition, so they began to deploy troops and generals very early and deployed heavy troops on the border.

When Zhou Tianci led the army to the border city of Caiguo, tens of thousands of soldiers were already waiting in the city, and there were more than a dozen light artillery pieces and several heavy artillery pieces by their side!

These firearms were sold to them by the Shang State.

After the Nine-Nation Alliance was defeated by the Song State and returned, these countries around the Song State began to panic and began to be afraid. Because they knew very well that after the Song State won the war, the rapid development of its firearms would be unstoppable.

And these countries that have invaded the Song State will one day be defeated by the firearms army of the Song State!

As a result, Xia Xi, Da Cai, Mo Khan and other countries began to ask Shang for help, asking Shang to give them some firearm technology.

Shang Guo thought about it, and didn't want Song Guo to be in the future. entered a state of invincibility, and did not want their firearms technology to be mastered by too many countries, so they decided that firearms technology could not be given, but they could sell some firearms to Xia Xi, Dacai and other countries.

In this way, Xia Xi, Mo Khan, Da Ya and other countries all bought some firearms, among them, the food country bought the most, with nearly 100 artillery pieces of various types, and Xia Xi and Mo Khan each bought dozens of guns.

At this time, more than a dozen light artillery pieces and several heavy artillery pieces were lined up on the border city of the country, aiming at the outside of the city.

Zhou Tianci, who personally led the army, ordered all the infantry and cavalry to stop ten miles away from the border city of Caiguo, and he only led the artillery division to three miles outside the city.

The artillery division stopped three miles away, and Zhou Tianci flew into the air outside the border city of Caiguo, and said in a loud voice: "Which of the rats of Caiguo is guarding the city here, seeing that my Northern Expedition army still hasn't opened the city to surrender, do you want to resist to the end!?" ”

On the city wall, Yelu Changqing, the commander of the army, looked at Zhou Tianci in the air, and said coldly with an angry face: "Zhou Tianci, you don't have to be arrogant!" Do you think that even if your Song army has firearms, my army also has them! Today, our artillery will be fully fired, so that you Song people can taste the power and avenge my dead brothers! ”

Zhou Tianci smiled when he heard this, and said disdainfully: "Who should I be, it turned out to be Yelu Changge's clan brother, I said, just these crooked melons and cracked jujube cannons in your city, I am embarrassed to say that the firepower is full of firepower?"

Hillbilly, keep your eyes open and watch carefully, and I'll show you what real firing is later! ”

was ruthlessly ridiculed by Zhou Tianci and became a hillbilly, Yelu Changqing was furious for a while, the saber on his waist twitched, and he pointed at Zhou Tianci and shouted angrily: "Open the gun!" Aim at Zhou Tianci and kill him for me! ”

After receiving Yelu Changqing's order, the army at the head of the city hurriedly adjusted the muzzle of the cannon, and aimed at Zhou Tianci in the air outside the city, and then loaded ammunition and bombarded!

As several loud noises erupted at the head of the city, seven or eight cannonballs roared out from the city wall, heading straight for Zhou Tianci in mid-air!

Zhou Tianci smiled faintly, and waved his left hand in front of him with his sword, and at the same time, his body retreated backwards against the wind!

With his movements, a cold sword qi that was more than ten zhang long surged out from in front of him in an arc, and soon collided with the seven or eight cannonballs!

In the air outside the border city, several loud noises broke out immediately afterward, and the seven or eight cannonballs, before they could reach Zhou Tianci's approach, exploded in mid-air and turned into several large 'fireworks'.

At this time, Zhou Tianci had already retreated dozens of feet away from the wind.

Zhou Tianci, who retreated sharply against the wind, did not stop, and soon retreated to the position of his artillery division.

Returning to his artillery position, Zhou Tianci's face was pale, and he pulled out the long sword in his sheath with a bang, pointed at the border city of the country in front of him and said coldly: "Push a hundred cannons forward for me first, aim at the head and gate of the city in front, and blast to death!" ”

After receiving Zhou Tianci's order, the artillery division, which had already laid out the formation according to the elevation angle of the gun barrel and the range of the artillery, moved the artillery carriage, maintained the formation, and pushed a hundred guns forward, aiming at the city in front and began to roar!

On the border city, Yelu Changqing saw that the previous artillery had not hit Zhou Tianci at all, his face was furious, and he asked the artillery at the head of the city to adjust the angle again, and fire at the artillery position where Zhou Tianci flew back!

However, with this shot, Yelu Changqing discovered a very serious problem.

That is, the artillery position of the Song army is too far away, and it has exceeded the range of the light artillery in the food army, and the twenty artillery pieces above the city head, only those heavy artillery can hit the artillery position of the Song army, and the remaining dozen or so light artillery guns cannot shoot at all.

The few cold goods sold by the Shang State to the Cuisine Kingdom could not be shot, but the artillery of the Song army was different. At the beginning, Wang Qi gave Zhou Tianci the blueprints, and many of the firearms in them were not even available in the Shang Kingdom, and they could almost complete the firearms of the Shang Kingdom in terms of power and range, not to mention the low-end products that the food country bought.

Therefore, after Zhou Tianci gave the order to open fire, in front of the artillery position of the Song army, hundreds of cannons began to roar at the same time, and the shells roared out like raindrops, heading straight for the city in front!

Yelu Changqing, who was full of anger because of the insufficient range of his artillery, saw that the artillery position of the Song army suddenly began to roar, and countless cannonballs rushed straight to the city like raindrops.

Bang bang bang!

A loud sound like thunder soon sounded intensively in the border city of the food country!

The soldiers and generals at the head of the city, except for the soldiers who operated the heavy artillery, could barely fight back, and the rest were all frightened and scurrying, unable to make any counterattack at all.

And even those heavy guns didn't last long, and they were destroyed by the cannonballs that rained down. And the cannons they blasted out

The bullet did not cause much damage to the Song army at all, because there was Zhou Tianci, standing in the sky above the artillery position of the Song army!

The roar of artillery and the explosion of shells like thunder continued to sound in front of the Song army's position and at the head of the border city.

In the constant roar of artillery, this Jianguo City, which had been repaired and strengthened by the food army several times, only lasted less than half an hour, and was bombarded into ruins by the artillery fire of the Song army!

Yelu Changqing, who was clamoring for full firepower and killing Zhou Tianci, was killed on the city wall by the dense artillery fire of the Song army, and the twenty artillery pieces at the head of his city did not play much effect at all, and they were blown to pieces.

The defenders of the country in the city had no power to resist in the face of the dense artillery fire of the Song army, and most of them were killed and wounded on the spot, and the remaining remnants of the army all abandoned the city and fled in a hurry.

The gates were broken, the walls collapsed, and the army fled. Zhou Tianci, who was standing above the artillery position, smiled faintly with satisfaction, ordered the shelling to be stopped, and ordered the whole army to march into the city.

After receiving Zhou Tianci's order, the artillery division stopped the shelling of the border city of Caiguo, and the 80,000 troops on the right side of the Northern Expedition almost did not suffer any casualties, and they stepped into the territory of Caiguo!

After taking the first border fortified city of the country, Zhou Tianci led the right army to continue to the north non-stop, all the way like a bamboo, and a day later, he hit Youzhou City, one of the sixteen states of Yanyun.

Here, the Right Route Army encountered an army of 100,000 led by Yelu Longxu, the new king of the Southern Courtyard of the Cuisine Kingdom.

In the face of the army defending the city with more troops than himself, as well as dozens of artillery pieces in the city, Zhou Tianci's approach was still extremely simple and rude, and ordered the artillery division to step forward and launch hundreds of artillery pieces of various types, almost bombing the south gate of Youzhou City into ruins!

Then, Zhou Tianci personally drew his sword and struck, beheaded the king of the Southern Courtyard of the Cuisine Kingdom, Yelu Longxu, led the army into the city, and took Youzhou City!

After the city of Youzhou was broken and Yelulong was killed, the country finally realized how terrifying the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Song Kingdom led by Zhou Tianci was. So, with the support of many ministers of the country, the emperor sent envoys, hoping to negotiate peace with the Song state.
