In the cloudy light, the wooden stakes on the south side of the school yard were filled with gunsmoke, and the wooden stakes of the flames devoured the stumps and made a crackling sound.

Under the churning heatwave, the wooden stake in the middle of the fire bomb was also burned by the dazzling flames, and finally collapsed. There was a muffled sound, and the broken stake fell to the ground with a bang, and a burst of sparks rose.

And the iron sheet wrapped around the wooden pile also became red and full of holes when the collapsed wooden pile hit the ground.

"Fire Dragon Spear?" Zong Tian, who muttered, turned his head to look at the school field under the stage. The cross-stream flames dancing on the wooden stake were reflected in his eyes overflowing with excitement.

"Go get that gun and I'll see it. After a while, Zong Tian said slowly to his subordinates. When he finished speaking, a soldier turned around and got off the high platform, rushed to the school grounds, took the dragon spear handed by the soldier in the field, and then turned back to the high platform.

After receiving the fire dragon spear handed by the soldier, Zong Tian sank his hand and looked at the fire gun he was holding in both hands. At such a close distance, it was clearer than before.

The long tube made of wrought iron glows with a metallic sheen in the cloudy light. The wooden handle is installed behind the barrel, and the back part of the gun is thicker and has a long hole groove at the top to fill the gun. After a careful look, Zong Tian couldn't put it down the more he looked at this gun.

Seeing this, Gong Mingyi, who was good at observing words and feelings, hurriedly gave the person's soul a look and motioned for him to continue.

"This gun has a maximum range of 500 paces, and uses a reloader smoothbore, although it is also the same as a general firebolt, it needs to shoot a fireball, but the fireball is huge, making up for its slow rate of fire. The human soul immediately understood Gong Mingyi's eyes, and took out a fire bomb with the thickness of two thumbs and the length of his middle finger from his sleeve and handed it to Zong Tian.

This soul was recruited after Gong Mingyi posted a notice to recruit firearms craftsmen. Claiming to be a black marketeer, he likes to tinker with the manufacture of firecrackers when he is idle. After hundreds of years of research, a few days ago, this powerful Underworld Fire Bolt was finally created.

Zong Tian took the bullet and looked at it, only to see that it was similar to the shape of some cannons.

"This fire bomb is filled with solidified fire oil and yellow phosphorus, so that when the fire bomb explodes, it can instantly produce high-temperature flames. Under the slow introduction of that human soul, Zong Tian, who looked at the fire bomb in his hand, recalled the previous scene when the fire bomb exploded after hitting the wooden stake, bursting out a high-temperature flame that sputtered all around, and couldn't help but bow slightly, and there was a look of appreciation on his face and eyes.

"We have bought the technology of muskets and fire bullets, you can make a price, do you want officials or money?" Zong Tian then turned his head to look at the human soul.

"Money, of course, and I only want silver, not paper money. Hearing this, the human soul raised its head, and there was a greedy look in its eyes.

Zong Tian didn't talk nonsense with him, and asked bluntly without thinking: "How much do you need?"

If the Xudu Army is equipped with this kind of musket, it will naturally be able to compete with the Jiuyou National Army, which has advanced firearms, and the Northern Yin Dynasty will not be left behind in the future war between the two countries.

"Five hundred thousand taels of silver. As he spoke, the human soul raised his right hand at Zong Tian, and stretched out his five fingers to point to the sky, and then his eyes rolled, and he quickly spoke after finishing the conversation, and hurriedly added: "The technology of guns and fire bullets is 500,000 taels each." ”。

"Good. Zong Tian responded without thinking, and then glanced at Gong Mingyi beside the human soul: "Take him to write down the technique of the fire dragon spear completely, and hand it over to the ordnance craftsman to make this gun according to what he wrote." Once the manufacturing is successful, the payment will be made immediately. ”。

Gong Mingyi nodded, turned around and got off the high platform with this human soul, and an imperceptible killing intent flashed in his eyes, and a poisonous plan to unload the mill and kill the donkey gradually became clear in his heart......

Nine secluded country Zhuzhu County.

The shrine of Xiao Shizhu stopped at dusk in front of a cone-shaped hill in the south-central part of the county. There are no shops in the village around the hill, and there is a wilderness with sparse plants within a radius of dozens of miles.

Over the wilderness, canals cut through the rocks that stood on the ground, stretching in all directions.

The Nine Shadows Country has developed too fast, and there are many places where there are many places where there are few ghosts. Seeing the wind sweeping the dust on the endless wasteland in front of him, Xiao Shizhu couldn't help but think that he could arrange some ghosts to come here to reclaim the wasteland.

After thinking for a while, Xiao Shizhu turned around and slowly walked to the complete map of the Ten Continents of the Underworld hanging in the gods. Wu Qiuyuan, who was standing on the side, Chun Han and Hu Biao's eyes also moved with him, and slowly moved to the map.

"My lord, now there is enough water for the forbidden army, and there are canals everywhere to get water, but our dry food is only enough for three days. Wu Qiuyuan was the first to speak, and said slowly: "We must find a city to supply in three days. ”。

"If we keep going south, we'll be able to get out tomorrow. Hu Biao took over and said in a relaxed tone, "On the southern edge of this wasteland is an oasis, and there is a city in the oasis that can provide us with supplies. ”。

Xiao Shizhu kept his back to them, his eyes staring at the Six Heavens Continent on the map without saying a word. He is very irritable these days, irritable because of his daughter's affairs.

The assassins sent by Emperor Xudu completely enraged him, leaving him with no reason to speak of. Xiao Shizhu, who has always been calm, was irritable and excited for the first time in his life.

Although the revenge against the Northern Yin Dynasty had already begun, Xuanli was still boiling in his body, making him feel the urge to rush to Xudu and tear up the Emperor Xudu every time he saw the map of the Six Heavenly Continents.

The green tendons on his forehead also flare.

"Lord?" Seeing that he was silent for a long time and did not squeak, Wu Qiuyuan frowned and called softly.

Xiao Shizhu recovered from his anger at this time, slowly turned his head to look at Wu Qiuyuan, and asked, "What's the matter?" After turning back and continuing to look at the map in front of him.

Wu Qiu Yuan was also a smart human soul, and seeing that Xiao Shizhu's gaze had been sweeping around the Six Heavens Continent on the map, he thought that Xiao Shizhu must have been angry at the fact that Emperor Xudu had sent assassins to infiltrate the palace.

After Wu Qiuyuan and Chunhan glanced at each other, they stood behind Xiao Shizhu and said softly: "Lord, the rice must be eaten one bite at a time; although the practice of the Northern Yin Dynasty in the capital is indeed hateful, the strength of our country is really unable to fight on two fronts again. ”。

Although Xiao Shizhu didn't say anything when he heard this, he was slightly stunned and his anger disappeared a little.

"Now that the Eastern Crusade has begun again, the mainland should start a strategy of recuperation and recuperation, and not fight on multiple fronts for the time being. Although too many wars can bring some benefits to the country, it will also cause too many burdens to the ghost people in the country. After a pause, Wu Qiuyuan said slowly.

Xiao Shizhu understood what he said, but he just couldn't completely calm the anger in his chest.

"And the revenge has already begun, and it is still entrusted to the lord to carry out and command, so there is no need to be angry with the Beiyin Dynasty anymore. Seeing that he was still silent, Wu Qiuyuan cautiously persuaded him: "Your lord, you should take a long-term view, and don't worry about temporary gains and losses. ”。

"Go on. When he finished speaking, Xiao Shizhu finally spoke.

Wu Qiu Yuan, like his father Wu Qiu Shou, will only bury his head in things when he doesn't speak, and once he does, he will inevitably give Xiao Shizhu feasible suggestions.

"No. After Wu Qiu Yuan responded, he continued to look at the complete map of the Ten Continents of the Underworld and said slowly: "In addition to taking Dongyi first to cut off the grain supply of the Northern Yin Dynasty, the lord might as well plan an air raid against the Huaishan granary. ”。

"Huai Mountain?" Xiao Shizhu's eyes swept over the Six Heavens Continent, and soon found a place called Huai Mountain in the southeast of the Six Heavens Continent on the map.

The anger in my heart before also faded a little.

It was a big mountain only thirty miles away from the Huaishui Port in the southeast of Liutianzhou, surrounded by Huaishui, and it was also Wu Zhiqi's hometown.

However, after Wu Zhiqi took away the monkey demon clan on Huai Mountain, that place was quickly occupied by the Northern Yin Dynasty. A granary was built in the middle of the mountain, and thousands of acres of official land were reclaimed on both sides of the Huaishui River at the foot of the mountain.

The granaries in this area are mainly for the grain and grass of the Huaishui Port and the Xudu Army on Guishan Island outside the port. Of course, after the Beiyin Dynasty also sent troops to the east, the Huaishan granary also became the reserve granary of the Beiyin Dynasty's eastward expeditionary army.

Once this granary and the nearby official fields were destroyed, it would certainly cause considerable losses to the Northern Yin Dynasty, which was on an eastward expedition.

After thinking about it, Xiao Shizhu also felt that it was feasible. And the Huaishui Port in the south of Huaishan Mountain is only more than 800 miles away from Baihuan County in Yunmengzhou of the Nine Shadows Country.

The Clipper raid only takes ten days to reach Huaishui Port, and the key point is that Guishan Island, south of Huaishui Port, cannot be bypassed. If you attack from the south, you will have to enter this turtle-shaped island anyway.

"How do you get around Guishan Island?" Xiao Shizhu asked after thinking for a moment.

"The sailors stormed Guishan Island, and the Beiyin Sailors of Huaishui Port will inevitably go out to the rescue. Wu Qiuyuan said without thinking.

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Shizhu's eyes suddenly lit up. Guishan Island is the southern barrier of Huaishui Port, and it is also the only barrier. Once attacked, the sailors in Huaishui Harbor could not turn a blind eye to it.

Once the sailors leave the port, the Huaishui port will inevitably be empty in defense, and another fleet can quietly enter the port at this time, and the warships will attack the coast with artillery bombardment, and the air cavalry and flying troops will carry sophisticated firearms to make a quick surprise attack, and the target is the Huaishan granary north of Huaishui port.

Thirty miles is only half an hour for an empty rider. After the battle and run, after joining the Minaka Fleet, the fleet turned south and attacked Guishan Island and the Beiyin Naval Division supporting the island with the sailors fighting on Guishan Island.

Killing three birds with one stone, that is, bombing the Huaishan granary and shelling the Huaishui Port, it can also cause the Beiyin Water Division in the port and the Guishan Island outside the port to be severely damaged.

The key is that such a small-scale war will not bring a two-front battle to the Nine Shadows Country. And the Northern Yin Dynasty is no longer able to organize a large-scale attack in a short period of time because of the last war and the need to quell the rebellion everywhere in the underworld.

After suffering a loss, the Northern Yin Dynasty couldn't fight back, and what Xiao Shizhu wanted was this result.

"Moreover, the previous large-winged warships of the three Miao ghosts of Yunmengzhou can also come in handy at this time. Just as Xiao Shizhu was about to nod his head in agreement with this proposal, Wu Qiuyuan said slowly: "It's okay to use them to cruise the rivers in the interior, but they can also be temporarily mobilized to form a temporary fleet. With the air cavalry and flying soldiers, as well as the flying bicycle soldiers, a coordinated sea and air raid will definitely be able to catch the Northern Yin Dynasty by surprise. ”。

"Hu Biao, I have ordered my country's Xuanjiao disciples in the Six Heavens Continent to steal the information of the patrol subordinates of the Northern Yin Water Division in the southeast of the Six Heavens Continent as soon as possible. Xiao Shizhu turned around abruptly and faced Hu Biao and said categorically: "Inform Brother Ga, the general of the Tianxian Army stationed in Baihuan County, that he will command this raid." ”。

As he was talking, the fungus man Shenji strode in, and after bowing, he handed a letter in his hand to Xiao Shizhu, and said, "It was sent by the lord of Yuque City, saying that the lord would be safe." ”。
