Longyan Mountain, once the birthplace of the Gentian Battalion, but after many years, Longyan Mountain has fallen into disrepair, the houses have collapsed, and the civilians gathered have also dispersed, and the whole mountain has become an abandoned mountain, but in recent months, it has been occupied by a group of bandits, and has started a businessless business again, but this businessless business is not long-lived, and it was soon targeted by the Congressional army.

In the middle of the night, dense congressional troops appeared at the foot of Longyan Mountain, waving flags and connecting into a group.

But the soldiers' uniforms were not neat, the treasury was empty, there was not so much cloth and armor to equip this 500,000-strong congressional army, most of the soldiers still wore the clothes they wore from various provinces, and even many of them were dressed like hunters and farmers, and the equipment was not very good, and rusty iron swords and cracked halberds could be seen everywhere.

The Congressional Army needs to be re-equipped, which is an urgent need, and it is also the top priority that Zhuang Yan, the commander of the Congressional Army, is concerned about.

......

Under the starlight, Zhuang Yan wore a military uniform, looked at the lights on the top of the mountain from afar, and said, "How many bandits are there in this group?"

Deputy Commander Su Changying said: "There are more than 500 people in total. ”

"Hmph, more than 500 people actually want nearly 100,000 of us to surround Longyan Mountain, it's just too much to give them face. Zhuang Yan sneered: "It is said that this Longyan Mountain is the place where the Gentian Battalion started, and after we kill all the five hundred bandits, give me a fire to burn Longyan Mountain, which can be regarded as a small warning to Lin Muyu." ”

Su Changying smiled faintly: "Commander, my subordinates think that as long as we do what we want to do, it's okay, as for burning Longyan Mountain, it's not necessary, after all, Wei Qiu and Situ Sen can't be offended, in case they are in a good mood and want to return to Longyan Mountain one day, it's not good for us to burn down people's lair......

"Humph!"

Zhuang Yan said lightly: "Don't talk so much nonsense, attack the mountain immediately, you must take Longyan Mountain before dawn, besides...... Are our 'munitions' ready?"

"It's already here, just down the mountain, the 'merchants' left the goods and left, and our golden tickets have been given to them, and the 'arms' are currently under the control of Deputy Commander Liu Xiyu. ”

"Great, do you have a number?"

"Hmm. Su Changying nodded: "There are a total of five heavy magic crystal cannons and fifteen light magic crystal cannons, in addition to one hundred magic crystal crossbows, one hundred and twenty heavy magic crystal cannonballs and twenty eighty light magic crystal cannonballs, all of which have been counted." ”

Zhuang Yan squinted his eyes and laughed: "This is very good, as soon as the morning dawns, these magic crystal cannons and magic crystal crossbows will be revealed, just say that they were pulled out of the bandits' lair in Longyan Mountain, Lin Muyu will not let the Ordnance Division cast heavy artillery for us, I will see what else he can do this time, the trophies handed over by our parliamentary army, he will not interfere with it!"

Su Changying smiled and said, "Well, my subordinates understand." ”

"Remember, if you do it, let me spend a lot of money to continue to buy equipment from those 'unscrupulous businessmen', since the empire is unwilling to equip the congressional army, then we will equip it ourselves, and when the congressional army is strong, I want to see how Lin Muyu, the marshal, can balance us. ”

"Well, Tong LinkedIn Ming, hahahaha......"

......

Before dawn, the parliamentary army collected a total of twenty magic crystal cannons, played triumphant songs, and beat gongs and drums all the way back to Lanyan City.

It wasn't until dusk the next day, when they finally returned to Lanyan City with their heavy magic crystal cannons, the faces of almost all the soldiers of the Capitol Army were happy, even though they were wearing thin clothes and shivering from the cold.

In the late autumn, the grass fluttered in the field, the cool breeze gusted, and the wheels of the magic crystal cannon rolled out a deep ravine on the official road, which made the speed of the convoy even slower, and it was necessary to see that Lanyan City was in front of it, but most of them could not enter the city before dark, according to Zhuang Yan's military order, five of the twenty magic crystal cannons were to be transported into the city and erected in the National Assembly Palace as a defensive device.

"Tuk Tuk ......"

In the distance, the sound of horses' hooves came, and a very neat column of soldiers came from the direction of the imperial capital city, carrying the banner of the gentian battalion, and the one in the front was the deputy commander of Wei Qiu, and at the same time served as the secretary of the military department, the figure of the imperial capital city was like the sun in the sky, and nearly 3,000 cavalry under the command of Wei Qiu galloped quickly, and stopped about 100 meters away from the congressional army.

"It's revenge. Su Changying frowned.

Zhuang Yan held the horsewhip, stepped forward, and said, "It turned out to be Lord Wei Qiu, I don't know what Lord Wei Qiu meant by leading so many people to come?"

Wei Qiu smiled slightly, and said politely: "Commander Zhuang Yan, I was reported in the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War, saying that the National Army illegally obtained twenty magic crystal cannons and one hundred magic crystal crossbows, I don't know if it's true?"

As he spoke, he looked at the dark barrel behind Zhuang Yan and said with a smile: "It seems to be true." ”

Zhuang Yan said: "Lord Wei Qiu doesn't know, the parliamentary army was ordered by Her Royal Highness the Empress to go to Longyan Mountain to encircle and suppress the strongman, these magic crystal cannons are all collected from the mountain, in order to exterminate the strongman, the parliamentary army injured hundreds of brothers, I think these magic crystal cannons as the armament of the congressional army, it should be reasonable, right?"

Wei Qiu smiled leisurely: "If it is a blade, armor or the like, I can turn a blind eye, the spoils captured by the parliamentary army are the congressional army, but the Ministry of War has clear regulations that the magic crystal cannon and the magic crystal crossbow belong to thermal weapons and must be managed in a unified manner, and all thermal weapons that appear in the empire are under the control and distribution of the military department, I think you have also seen Lin Shuai's order, the dragons and snakes in the parliamentary army are mixed, and no thermal weapons will be allocated for the time being, so ...... These magic crystal cannons also hope that Lord Zhuang Yan can hand them over to the treasury, which is also the meaning of Her Royal Highness the Empress. ”

"What, what does Her Royal Highness the Empress mean?" Zhuang Yan was stunned.

Wei Qiu raised his hand, held a golden order, and said with a smile: "The empress golden order, there are only three in total, I think the adults should have seen it, seeing the golden order is like seeing His Royal Highness." ”

Zhuang Yan, Su Changying and others knelt down one after another.

Wei Qiu smiled faintly: "Come on, receive the magic crystal cannon and magic crystal crossbow from the brothers of the congressional army!"

"Defend the enemy!"

Zhuang Yan roared angrily, raised his head and said, "You...... Don't deceive people too much, the congressional army is the congressional army, how dare you be so contemptuous? Come on, protect the magic crystal cannon, who dares to touch the magic crystal cannon, I will make him regret coming to the world!"

"Really?"

Wei Qiu's eyes were cold, and he said, "Gentian battalion, prepare for battle!"

Behind him, the three thousand iron horsemen scattered one after another, forming a circular combat array, each soldier took out a magic crystal crossbow, and the whole three thousand magic crystal crossbows pointed straight at the people of the parliamentary army, this is not a mere twenty magic crystal cannons can be compared, not to mention that the two sides are too close to each other, the magic crystal cannon is useless at all, Wei Qiu is a smart person, and he is naturally confident when he approaches the congressional army at the beginning.

"Commander Zhuang Yan, why don't I settle an account for you. ”

Wei Qiu smiled at the corner of his mouth: "The explosion radius of the magic crystal crossbow is about ten meters, and if the three thousand magic crystal crossbow is launched at close range, the five thousand national troops behind you will instantly evaporate from the world, and even you will not have a chance to pull the string of the magic crystal cannon, once Commander Zhuang Yan is shot by the magic crystal crossbow, I will immediately go to the Zetian Palace to tell Her Royal Highness the Empress, just say that the national army did not obey the golden order, and tried to kill me, Zhuang Yan's death is self-inflicted, no wonder others, do you think your death has any value? What's more, I also have a secret weapon!"

As he spoke, Wei Qiu whistled, and suddenly there was a burst of dragon groans in the sky, and six huge black shadows appeared in the air, which were dragon knights led by Situ Sen and Situ Xue, and killed dozens of dragon knights in Cangnan Province in the first battle, and also captured some giant dragons, and the Gentian Battalion already had six dragon knights.

Wei Qiu smiled at the corner of his mouth: "The Dragon Imperial Douxuan can resist the attack of the Demon Crystal, as long as I give an order, while the three thousand Demon Crystal Crossbow shoots you, you will not be able to do the slightest damage to the Gentian, I advise you not to go your own way, this is a mantis arm as a car, understand?"

Zhuang Yan trembled with anger, but Wei Qiu was right, under the absolute power, the parliamentary army was not vulnerable at all, not to mention that the gentian battalion had experienced a hundred battles, as far as these soldiers of the parliamentary army were concerned, most of them had never experienced war at all, and ten people might not be able to beat a gentian battalion soldier, this is just a fact.

Zhuang Yan was a little depressed, waved his hand and said, "That's it, let the military department Shangshu take away these magic crystal cannons!"

As he spoke, Zhuang Yan glanced at Wei Qiu and said, "It's just that Lord Wei Qiu, the Congressional Army has fought meritoriously and captured so many magic crystal cannons and magic crystal crossbows, shouldn't the military depot of the Ministry of War issue some additional armaments to the Congressional Army? Look at this group of soldiers behind me, they are the regular army of the Empire, but they don't even have a set of military uniforms. ”

Wei Qiu's eyes were red: "Well, I know the bitterness of my brothers, so ...... Each magic crystal cannon is converted into a hundred military uniforms, and after returning to Lanyan City, the military treasury will allocate two thousand sets of military uniforms, plus two thousand long swords to the parliamentary army. ”

Zhuang Yan's face turned green: "Lord Wei Qiu, with such a little armament, you won't be calling Huazi, right?"

Wei Qiu said earnestly: "The empire has been at war for a long time, and the treasury has long been consumed and almost empty, and the wealth that His Majesty the King of Light has accumulated for so many years has almost been wiped out by our unscrupulous descendants in ten years, and these two thousand sets of military uniforms are not easy to come by, and even Her Royal Highness the Empress even removed the curtain of the Zetian Palace and dyed it into military uniforms, Her Royal Highness the Empress is still so diligent and thrifty, shouldn't Lord Zhuang Yan lead by example as the commander of the parliamentary army?"

Zhuang Yan's heart of 10,000 grass and mud horses rushed by, and was speechless by Wei Qiu.

......

Night, Capitol.

"Bang!"

Zhuang Yan slapped his palm on the table, shaking the fruit and flying wildly, and he looked angry: "Damn, it's really too hateful, the military department deceives people too much, they don't treat our parliamentary army as human beings at all, Wei Qiu, Lin Muyu, Feng Jixing and others are complicit, and they are angry with me, they are simply angry with me!

Qin Yan sat there leisurely, Qin Yan behind him stood like a statue of the god of war, he picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said: "Commander Zhuang Yan is a little restless, you said that Lin, Feng, Wei and others are in collusion, don't you want to count His Royal Highness Qin Yin together, my lord, please remember that you are also an important member of the Congress, the original intention of the establishment of the Congress was for the better of the empire, if you even dare to blaspheme the empress, then the old man will start to doubt the original intention of the adults to establish the Congress." ”

Zhuang Yan's face turned pale: "Chief, I lost my words, please forgive me." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, but the military department really deceives people too much, and it's true that it doesn't take the congressional army in its eyes at all. ”

"Well, yes!"

Su Changying, who was on the side, frowned and said: "Now the biggest problem of the parliamentary army is military rations, the military department only gives us 200,000 soldiers' military rations every day, most of our people can't eat enough, let alone any training, and the bigger problem is clothing, Lanyancheng is located in Lingbei Province, winter comes quickly, and it may snow in a month, but most of our soldiers only wear autumn clothes, if there are no 500,000 sets of winter clothes, how can we survive this winter?"

Zhuang Yan clenched his fists and said: "Lin Muyu, Wei Qiu, and Feng Jixing joined forces with the military department and the military department to cut off our food, grass and armaments, and all they want is to let the parliamentary army retreat and let us leave the imperial capital on our own." ”

Zhou Heng sneered: "They think beautifully, since we are here, we will not leave so easily, since we don't have military uniforms, then we will find our own way to raise and transport them from the fiefdom." ”

"I'm afraid it's too late. ”

Qin Qiao frowned and said, "That will freeze a lot of people to death, but they are all my Great Qin's people!"

Qin Yan: "......"
