Outside the Bianhe River, among the barren mountains.

Liu Qing led two thousand people to a flat area and lined them up in turn.

"Your Highness, these are all the elites of the Red Armor Army, and they are all top soldiers who have experienced no less than ten battles in the northwest land, and their foundations are very clean, and it is impossible to do any leaks."

Chen Mu slowly came to the front of everyone, looking at everyone, and as Liu Qing said, the two thousand people were all tigers and bears, and their faces were full of murderous energy.

"Come on, bring everything over."

Soon, dozens of people carried piles of firecrackers on their backs, and in addition to the firecrackers, there were also a large number of iron shards and black powder.

"One for each person."

"Your Highness, what is this?"

Chen Mu picked up a firecracker, and then stuffed the gunpowder iron into the firecracker.

"It's called the Firebolt, and it's a long-range shooting weapon similar to the Divine Arm Bow."

Everyone looked at each other, and then looked at the black stick in their hands: "Is this thing more powerful than the Divine Arm Bow?"

"In terms of power, it is indeed stronger than the power of the Divine Arm Bow, so this palace will show you something."

Under everyone's attention, Chen Mu took out a fire fold, and immediately lit the lead, as the green smoke continued to ignite, the next moment an explosion roared, and I saw that the iron bullet in it shot out instantly!

When I looked at it again, the iron egg was already embedded in the iron plate not far away.

When everyone saw this scene, they immediately gasped!

"This ...... This thing is so powerful? It turned out to be able to concave the iron plate? ”

Everyone looked at the iron rod in their hands in disbelief.

"According to what this palace showed you, try to operate it, and remember not to face people."

When Chen Mu spoke, everyone was excited to load their ammunition, and it was the first time they had seen such a powerful weapon.

"Your Highness, what the hell is this, it is even more powerful than the Divine Arm Bow?"

Chen Mu smiled slightly: "This is gunpowder, this thing will be the main style on the battlefield in a few hundred years."

Liu Qing saw the rise of everyone playing, and now he also loaded it in the same way, and with a burst of explosions, the iron bullet was embedded in the iron plate again.

"It's amazing! Your Highness, this will be an artifact to restrain those heavy armored cavalry in the north, with this thing, you don't have to be afraid of those barbarians in the north in the future! ”

Liu Qing's imagination is very full, as long as he has this thing in the future, the Liao cavalry rushed over, and a salvo immediately made his people turn on their horses, once the Liao people did not have the advantage of cavalry, then the infantry alone, even if they could not win, it would not fall to the point of helplessness.

But soon Chen Mu poured a basin of cold water on him.

"This thing is powerful, but once it rains, it will be scrapped directly, and it takes too long to reload, if you face a large-scale cavalry raid on the plains, the enemy only needs to withstand the first wave of attack, with the mobility of horses, you can come to us in the blink of an eye, the power is strong, but it is very chicken."

After all, whether it is a Mao Sui gun or a fire gun, the reloading time is basically about one minute, and no matter how fast the horse is, the distance of two or three hundred meters can be reached in the blink of an eye.

Hearing Chen Mu's words, Liu Qing couldn't help but be disappointed: "According to His Highness's words, this thing is not as good as a divine arm bow."

"No, this kind of thing with equally outstanding advantages and disadvantages, after all, it depends on how to use it, so that the sergeants are familiar with it, and it will be of great use after a while."

"Yes!"

So let the sergeant practice in the barren mountains for an afternoon, and then Chen Mu led them down the mountain.

The next day, Chen Mu took the two thousand people directly in the direction of Taiyuan.

Prime Minister's House.

Hubu Shangshu Wang Chao said in a deep voice: "Chen Mu, he has already led two thousand people out of the city."

Liucheng was silent for a long time, and sighed: "I hope there will be no mess this time, send a fast horse to Taiyuan, notify Liuzhou, and let him get ready, by the way, you write a book to tell him, everything is worry-free, and there will be a picture to help him deal with the aftermath when the time comes."

"Yes."

After Wang Chao left, Liu Cheng grabbed Zhao Yue's thin hand with one hand and said slowly: "Yue'er, you said that you have been coming, obviously there are several opportunities, and Chen Mu can't turn over, why...... Always being saved by the prince? Isn't God really going to help me? ”

Zhao Yue once again stretched out her hand to pinch Liu Cheng's shoulder, and then said lightly: "The world is impermanent, people always win the sky, and the concubine believes that Xiangye can finally win in a competition."

"Even if you can't ...... it in the end"

Speaking of this, Zhao Yue showed a trace of choking: "The concubine is also willing to follow Xiangye to the end."

Seeing that Zhao Yue's eyes were red and she was about to cry, Liu Cheng was greatly moved.

"The old man really has a good woman."

Half a month later.

Chen Mu led the army to the area of Qilian Mountain.

"Your Highness, the goods are lost in this area, should we divide our troops and search around?"

Chen Mu shook his head: "No, just go in directly, but ...... Let everyone hold their shields and be ready to prevent the unexpected. ”

As soon as he heard this, Liu Qing's face changed: "Is it possible, is someone going to assassinate His Highness?"

Now Chen Mu did not sit in the sedan chair at all, but changed into ordinary soldier clothes and mixed in the rear of the large army.

The more Liu Qing looked at it, the more he felt that this was the case.

"It should be, this time the food loss case is more complicated than we imagined, get ready."

Soon, the army went straight into Qilian Mountain, and as the mountains on both sides became more and more towering and oppressive, Chen Mu also clenched his shield, ready to prevent accidents at any time.

At the same time, a pair of eyes had been watching Chen Mu and the others in the woods for a long time, and just after the army marched into it again, the people who had been hidden in the mountains suddenly got up.

"Put!"

As soon as the mechanism of the stone thrower was loosened, stones with a large head suddenly flew towards the position of the sedan chair.

Seeing the dark shadow in the sky, Liu Qing suddenly shouted!

"Get out of the way!"

The flying stone almost went straight towards Chen Mu, and the sedan chair was suddenly smashed into pieces, and the stones were piled up below.

Everyone crouched on the ground and raised their shields above their heads.

But then there was no more offensive action, and there was a sudden silence on the field.

"Hurry up and search the mountains! He was too bold to dare to assassinate the prince! ”

At this time, Liu Qing was also in a cold sweat, looking at Chen Mu, thanks to the prince's preparation in advance, if the prince was really sitting in that sedan chair today, I am afraid that he would have been stoned to death by now!

The prince died here today, and none of these guards wanted to live!

After a short time, the soldiers came down into the woods.

"Your Highness, General, there is no one but a catapult!"

"Catapults? Take Hongu to see it. ”
