Li Heng not only frowned when he heard the words of urging Qingfeng, but then he hurriedly raised his binoculars and carefully probed the enemy position on the opposite side.

At this time, dozens of generals also followed in one after another, and before urging Qingfeng and Li Heng to speak, these people began to talk nonsense. "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the loud noise just now should not be caused by the thunderbolt fire, we have more or less brought back some thunderbolt research from the Jingshi in the past few years, and we have also ordered the craftsmen to research and manufacture hundreds of them...... It's not as powerful as theirs, but it's ......."

As soon as General Guo Da, who was in charge of military supplies, was halfway through his sentence, he hurriedly raised his hand to stop him from continuing. "General Guo, and all your colleagues should be quiet for the time being, is this explosion a thunderbolt, Xuan and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know it, and the secret agents hidden in the capital have already sent news, three years ago, Li Mao was secretly researching a powerful firearm, but the guards of the Beijing Division Arsenal are extremely tight, and we don't know what they are building? But today, it seems that they have obviously researched the results and transported this item to the land of Hunan...... In order to avoid the unknown panic caused by the thunderbolt before, it is better for us to deal with it carefully, and it is foolproof to know the other party! Tomorrow's counteroffensive will be delayed a little later, and let's talk about it after we find out the truth! ”

After urging Qingfeng to finish speaking, Li Heng also nodded and said to everyone, "What General Xuan said is extremely true, Li Mao is the best at winning by surprise, before this mysterious weapon is identified, my Jiangdong sergeant must not be moved lightly, and the bunker created before to prevent thunderbolts and thunderbolts, shields and other things should also be strengthened, as well as the opponent's iron crossbows and rockets, you are also not to be underestimated......"

After Li Heng said this, he couldn't help but look down at the secret letter sent by Li Longji on the desk, and he even had a hint of fantasy in his faint heart, that is, if his father's operation to capture the thief and capture the king first could be successful with the blessing of the bad marshal, then the 200,000 troops of Zhang Xiaojing, the enemy camp opposite, might collapse without a fight.

And after he and Qi Qingfeng briefly looked at each other, Qi Qingfeng seemed to understand and stepped forward to quickly branch out the dozens of generals in the account, and after everyone present left, he cautiously walked to Li Heng's side, clasped his fists with both hands and whispered, "His Royal Highness the Prince, it is better for his subordinates to take this opportunity to rush to Beijing to help the emperor, if the matter is carefully planned, it may be really possible to hit it with one blow, it is not impossible!" ”

"Qingfeng, what you said are that the power that has been secretly continuing in the Jingshi all these years is going to strike at this time? But in case the matter is revealed, our hard work in the past few years will be instantly wiped out, and this king still can't make this determination! ”

And when he saw Li Heng hesitating again and again, when he knelt down respectfully and saluted, he said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, at this critical moment, you must not be interrupted anymore, although the layout of Chang'an has taken a lot of effort, but this army has been raised for a thousand days and used for a while, and there is no need to wait for a while, the emperor sent such a secret letter, which indicates that his old man has no hope for Li Mao's thief, and in addition, Li Mao's poor soldiers and martial arts in the past three years are obvious to all, and if it goes on like this, the Tang Dynasty will be over!" ”

"This ...... This prince also understands, but if something goes wrong, the prince's little effort will be wasted, but if Li Mao is angered because of this, his father and the emperor will really have no way to retreat, you let this prince think about it again! Li Heng said that there was no majesty of the superior at all, but he seemed to be discussing with the urging Qingfeng in a pleading tone of discussion.

Seeing this, his whole heart instantly cooled in half, he really didn't expect that after so many years of life and death with Li Heng, His Royal Highness the Prince, who carried the banner of orthodoxy, would be so forward-looking and indecisive, how could such a heart be a wise lord who can rule all the people in the future? And can the thousands of lives of his family really be completely entrusted to such a person?

"His Royal Highness the Prince, if you haven't made up your mind, you will naturally not dare to force it, but you think that this moment is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and you didn't hesitate to spend a lot of effort to bury tens of thousands of shadows in Chang'an City, in order to attack it unprepared?" After urging Qingfeng to say this, he bowed to Li Heng and got up to leave, and Li Heng still bowed his brows and thought about it from the beginning to the end from urging Qingfeng to leaving the big tent, as if he was really thinking about how to choose between Li Longji's safety and the assassination of Li Mao.

At the same time, after the outbreak of the artillery test incident, the morale of Zhang Xiaojing's unit soared, and on the same night, more than 100 generals took the initiative to ask for battle, willing to be the vanguard to attack Jiujiang, Xuancheng, Laihu, and several other important towns in Jiangxi Province entrenched on the Yangtze River, which were the most strategically important places in the enemy's front.

Because only according to the current situation of the garrisons on both sides, as long as Zhang Xiaojing's troops take the above-mentioned cities in one go, then Lin'an City, Li Heng's base camp in East Zhejiang, is almost open, and there is no fortress that can be heavily guarded at all.

After urging Qingfeng to perceive the enemy's army deployment, he also knew that the three important places could not be lost, so three days later, he couldn't take Li Heng's hesitation at all, and he took Cui Jiajun to take the strongest defensive measures on his own initiative, and even dispatched 500,000 troops to aid Jiujiang with the military order of the generalissimo of the three armies.

At the beginning of the war, the sailors of both sides came to a needlepoint to fight against Maimang, because when Qingfeng was entrenched in eastern Zhejiang, he proposed to vigorously give full play to the advantages of the waters in the south of the Yangtze River and focus on the development of the navy, and Li Heng also strongly supported this, so after more than three years of hard training, the Jiangnan sailors were really in the limelight on the Yangtze River.

After the two warships came into contact, they also truthfully reflected the geographical advantages of the Jiangnan people, if it weren't for Zhang Xiaojing's hand with the blessing of the Shenwu cannon, the first water battle at the beginning would really have suffered a big loss, after all, the waters of the Yangtze River are complex and changeable, if there is no familiar helmsman to operate, even if the warships on the side of the imperial court are far taller and more advanced than the place, but once they enter the actual battle, it will become an inconvenient disadvantage to turn the direction.
