Chen Mu led the troops all the way to the square, and the county order came out to greet him.

"I don't know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has returned to China, and he has missed the welcome, please surrender to His Royal Highness!"

Chen Muyi waved his hand, "I don't blame you, I also came back when something happened." ”

In fact, according to the etiquette, when Chen Mu returns, he will send an advance team to return to the city from the border pass. On the one hand, it is to let the defenders know that it is their own people, and on the other hand, it is to let the county order prepare to meet it.

Therefore, the county order also knew that something was wrong, and when he heard Chen Muyi say it at this moment, he hurriedly asked: "But there has been a change in the Southern Barbarian State?" ”

Chen Mu nodded, "When I fix a book, you send someone to bring it back to the Southern Xinjiang Regional Governance Office and notify the national capital by phone." ”

As soon as the county order heard that the matter was so big, he hurriedly welcomed Chen Mu into the county office. Then Chen Mu brushed a little bit and wrote a letter.

The letter introduced the situation of the Southern Barbarian Kingdom, as well as the countermeasures he was about to use, and then asked Chen Xingtian to use the train to transfer a thousand Wudang Flying Army over, all of whom were veterans.

The county commander sent someone to deliver a letter to the governor of the southern Xinjiang region, and then Chen Mu asked him to load the local artillery into the car and bring the hinged crane with him.

Wanghai County is a border county with a border garrison, and there are two heavy artillery pieces and ten light artillery pieces at the head of the city.

Chen Mu calculated, with these twelve cannons, plus a thousand elite musketeers, it was enough.

After arranging all this, Chen Mu could sleep peacefully.

When Chen Xingtian received the call, he immediately arranged for someone to mobilize the Wudang Fei army and adjust the train carriages, and the next night, an army of 1,000 people came to the southern Xinjiang region.

Then I rested for the night, changed to a carriage the next day, and arrived in Wanghai County at noon.

This is the speed of high technology, and this speed will increase when the number of railway lines and trains increases.

Chen Mu made another preparation, and the next day, he led the army to the Southern Barbarian Kingdom.

After arriving at the border, the scout reported to Chen Mu that the rebels of the Southern Barbarian State had established a defense in the city closest to Great Xia, and there were still people patrolling outside the city.

Chen Mu nodded, "Okay, this will save trouble." ”

The army came to the outside of the city, set up a formation, and laid down the heavy cannons with hinged cranes.

The rebels in the city looked fresh.

"What's that? What are they doing with such a big piece of iron? ”

"I don't know, but the king told us to hold on to the city, so let's keep it."

"Yes, regardless of them, we are ready to roll the wood and stones, and take the fork and prepare to push the ladder."

As they spoke, the artillery on Chen Mu's side had already adjusted its angle.

Two heavy guns opened fire on the city, and two explosive shells flew into the city and exploded. Countless fragments flew and took the lives of dozens of rebels.

The surrounding rebels were stupefied by the loud explosions and the power of shrapnel.

"What's this? I seem to see a fire. ”

"That thing had knives in it, and they were all stabbed to death."

As he spoke, the light artillery of the Great Xia Army fired again, and ten explosive shells flew up the city, and as soon as the shrednel dispersed, the entire city wall was almost completely dead.

At this time, Chen Mu ordered to call a few captains of the Wudang Flying Army to come forward and shout loudly in Nanban.

Tell them how powerful the artillery is and tell them to surrender quickly.

The people on the other two city walls saw this scene from a distance, and they were all terrified, and at this moment, when they heard the shouts of the people of Wudang Feijun, they quickly opened the city gate and surrendered.

Chen Mu ordered to enter the city, take over the defense, and sent people to pacify the people and tell them what had happened.

The next day, Chen Mu led his troops to the capital of the Southern Barbarian Kingdom.

Chen Mu already knew that the person who pretended to be the illegitimate son of the Southern Barbarian King was the reserve of the Wudang Flying Army at the beginning.

The so-called reserve is the local strong men of the Southern Barbarian Country, and once the Wudang Flying Army has casualties in battle, they will be used to replenish them.

A few days ago, they found a rubber plantation, and they were sent to guard it.

And that "illegitimate child" was their captain, who took the opportunity to trap Chen Mu and others in the rubber forest, and then returned to the capital to control the political situation.

Therefore, Chen Mu transferred the Wudang Fei Army from the capital, and he was a veteran among them, just to persuade them to persuade these rebels to surrender.

Because these veterans used to be the bravest people in the local area, and there are many people who respect them, it should be effective.

Therefore, Chen Mu did not attack the city at the first time, and the rebels did not choose to fight.

At this moment, the rebel generals at the head of the city were shocked.

"Why did the Great Xia Army come so quickly? I thought we'd have two months to prepare. ”

The new king also said: "Yes, I heard that the capital of the Great Xia Kingdom is more than 3,000 miles away from here, how can it be so fast? I've inquired, but there aren't many defenders on the border. ”

The rebel general pointed down and said, "I know those people, they have been selected to join the Wudang Flying Army. Aren't they in the capital of Great Xia? ”

The new king: Huh? Are you sure? Is it really from the capital of Great Xia? ”

Outside the city, Chen Mu also saw the figure of the new king, so he sent the captain and centurion of the Wudang Flying Army to shout.

"Hey! I'm Riaton! The length of the first song of the Flying Army! Our Great Xia Army now has twelve cannons! You can't hold it! ”

"Hey! Brothers in the city! I'm Niu Xu Huangpo! Surrender yourselves! There's no need to be buried for an anti-thief! ”

As soon as they shouted like this, the soldiers at the head of the city looked at them and exchanged their heads and said something.

The new king and the rebel generals saw that they were not good, and hurried along the city wall to block them.

"Don't listen to their nonsense!"

"We'll be able to hold it!"

Chen Mu saw that the time was almost up, and ordered the cannon to fire.

However, the twelve cannons were aimed not at the head of the city, but at the city walls.

Twelve shells flew out and hit the walls, shaking the entire city as if they were about to collapse.

The soldiers at the head of the city were shocked.

"Oh my God! Is this the legendary cannon? ”

"That's amazing!"

"What should I do?"

After a round of shelling, Chen Mu gave the order again, and the artillery opened fire at the gate. The soldier was ordered, and the cannon adjusted its angle and opened fire again.

With just one round of shelling, the gates of the capital of the Southern Barbarian Kingdom were blown open.

Now the rebel soldiers are not calm at all.

A young man shouted, "I am Riaston's brother, Riabadon!" Listen to me, everybody! ”

"The Great Xia Army is too strong! We can't survive like this! ”

"Now follow me to capture the thief's head, and you can still make a contribution!"

The surrounding soldiers were silent for a moment, and then shouted one after another:

"I'll follow you!"

"Capture the thief!"

"Meritorious!"

Riabaddon nodded heavily and raised the single knife in his hand, "Follow me!" ”

With that, Riabaton went straight for the new king, and the soldiers followed behind him.

They shouted all the way, and more people joined in, and the new king found out that something was wrong and wanted to run, and it was too late.
