Chapter 578: Fierce Soldiers
"Tuk Tuk ......"
In the sound of horses' hooves, a white robe galloped straight into the depths of the camp of the gentian camp, Feng Jixing turned over and dismounted, and walked into the handsome tent with a horse whip, and when he looked up, he saw Lin Muyu and Chu Yao eating, this was already the day before departure, and it was rare that they still had an appetite.
"Brother Feng is here?"
Lin Muyu smiled slightly: "Come on, add a pair of dishes and chopsticks." ”
"No need. ”
Feng Jixing sat down and said, "I'm not here to eat, I'm here to collect debts." ”
"Debt collection?" Chu Yao smiled: "What does Ah Yu owe Brother Feng?"
"A promise!"
Feng Jixing squinted his eyes and smiled: "Ah Yu promised me that after the research of the magic crystal cannon is completed, he will give me some forbidden army, and now I am naturally here for the magic crystal cannon." ”
"Magic Crystal Cannon......" Chu Yao groaned, not knowing what it was, but she was smart and knew not to ask about things that should not be asked, so she silently swiped the rice.
Lin Muyu smiled slightly: "Don't worry, don't worry, you can't transport it to you now, a magic crystal cannon weighs tens of thousands of catties, and the wheels of ordinary carriages are directly crushed to the point that the wheels are broken, and even if it is disassembled, it will take a lot of manpower to transport." ”
"You kid, what the hell are you going to do?"
"After eating in a while, Brother Feng will go out for a walk with me. ”
"Well, good!"
After the meal, the two of them got on their horses and galloped out of the city, and went straight to the woodland in the south of the city, about an hour later, there was a murmuring sound of water in the woodland, Feng Jixing was the commander of the forbidden army, and naturally knew the terrain around Lanyan City, and the sound of water came from a river near Lanyan City, named "Shuilin River" Legend has it that there was a water unicorn bathing in this Shuilin River, a legend of thousands of years, and I don't know if it is true, but the water of the Shuilin River is very deep, and it is connected to the main basin of the Daojiang River, which is constantly attracted to irrigate farmland, and the more it is dug and wider, it has become the mother river of Lanyan City.
"Shui Lin Jiang?" Feng Jixing frowned.
"That's right. ”
Lin Muyu raised his horsewhip and pointed ahead: "I ordered the logistics army of the Gentian battalion to split the magic crystal cannon and transport it to the riverside, and then dispatch the warship of the sailor to transport it, a sailor warship can transport about 3-5 magic crystal cannons, the draft is very deep, plus the weight of the navy, basically one warship transports 3 magic crystal cannons!"
As said, when the two of them passed through a bush, there was a scene in front of them where a group of Gentian battalion soldiers carried the parts of the magic crystal cannon onto the ship little by little, dozens of warships docked on the riverside, and martial law was already under fire for several miles around.
"See the Commander!"
A commander stepped forward and saluted respectfully.
"How's the shipment going?" asked Lin Muyu.
"More than half of the shipment has already been shipped, please rest assured, Lord Commander!"
"That's good. ”
Lin Muyu looked at the ripples on the Shuilin River with great ambition, no one knows how long this war will last, but this time the empire will never be so passive again.
Feng Jixing was also a little excited, and said with a smile: "Good boy, how many magic crystal cannons do you have now?"
"I sold all my family and sold iron. Lin Muyu's face showed a look of distress, and he said, "Coupled with the limited time, a total of fifty magic crystal cannons have been cast. ”
"Fifty doors?" Feng Jixing raised his eyes: "I want twenty doors." ”
"Your lion opens his mouth, at most ten, these are my lives!"
"No, fifteen guns are at least, otherwise what's the use, and you have to provide me with artillery for loading shells and other things, otherwise no one in the forbidden army will use it, and it will be equivalent to a pile of scrap metal." ”
"Okay, fifteen is fifteen!" Lin Muyu took a deep breath: "These magic crystal cannons will pass through the waterway and directly reach the Daojiang River, but Brother Feng, don't use the magic crystal cannon until the last resort, although the power of this giant cannon is good, but there are very few cannonballs, I almost scavenged the magic crystals in Lanyan City, and there will be one less cannonball after hitting one." ”
"Yes. ”
Feng Jixing said: "Then how many magic crystal cannonballs do you give me?"
"10 guns each. ”
"Too little, right?"
"Don't be too little, it's pretty much the same. Lin Muyu smiled a little embarrassedly, and said: "The technology is not mature, the chamber of the magic crystal cannon will burn red after not firing a shell, and it must be filled after two minutes to fill the shell, and it will be fired after five minutes, otherwise it will be easy to burst, so the magic crystal cannon can only play a deterrent role for the time being, and if you want to rely on the magic crystal cannon to destroy the main force of the demon clan, this is probably difficult." ”
"Okay, I got it. ”
Feng Ji stepped forward, stretched out his palm and stroked the body of a magic crystal cannon, his face was full of idiots, and he couldn't help touching and touching, I am afraid that the girl in Hualou does not have such a good treatment here, and he can't put it down and smiles: "It's really a baby pimple...... With the rest of the Imperial Army only issuing arrow boxes and ballistas, it is not easy for us to have such a high-range and powerful artillery. ”
"This is not artillery. Lin Muyu corrected: "The law power generated by the explosion of the magic crystal is not a flame, but a thunderbolt, and the domain explosion generated by the high-temperature thunder and lightning is not something that ordinary armor can defend against, and I am afraid that the demon clan does not know the secret of the magic crystal." ”
"Hahaha......"
Feng Jixing gently patted Lin Muyu's shoulder: "It's good that the empire has Ah Yu here, if Ah Yu really died in battle four years ago, I really don't know how to fight this battle today." ”
"Don't worry, there will always be someone to fight. ”
"Yes, but who is there? Xiang Yu, an unscrupulous villain, Su Yong, a reckless man who knows nothing about military strategy, or a general of the Tang family who has exhausted all his organs?" Feng Jixing glanced at him deeply and said, "There are only a few generals that can be used by the empire, which is the biggest reason why His Highness reuses me and you." ”
"Don't say it so sadly, we will set off tomorrow, has Brother Feng figured out how to fight this battle?"
"I don't know. ”
Feng Jixing shook his head: "The demon clan is too strong, the armor demon is so brave and good at fighting, but the number is nearly 300,000, and we ...... Although the Imperial Army is known as a million heroes, you and I all know that more than sixty percent of them are recruits, and they have never even seen the demons. ”
"Hahaha......"
Lin Muyu held on to the hilt of the sword and laughed, looked at the surging river, and said: "Also, Yunzhong Province and Earth Star Province are recruiting troops on a large scale, but the equipment supply has not kept up, I have seen some legions in Earth Star Province a few days ago, the soldiers are only wearing military uniforms but not a little armor, most of the blades they use are spears, only the head of the spear is steel, and the body of the gun is wood, although that kind of wood is extremely hard, but I am afraid it will not be helpful to encounter the thick blade of the armor demon, I can't imagine Lan Gong, What kind of scene it was for Yun Gong's people to carry a pile of rags to face the demons made me dare not imagine. ”
"yes......"
Feng Jixing sighed and said, "Those recruits are all fresh imperial lives, but ...... For the expansion of Lan Gong and Yun Gong, these young people may die worthless under the sharp blade of the demon clan. Ah Yu, Tang Lan blocked the connection between Qihai Province and Lanyan City, and the imperial capital didn't know anything about the deployment of troops in Qihai Province, I think...... Lan Gong may have already had a plan. ”
"You mean, the Lan Guild took advantage of the war between us and the demons in Cangnan Province to send troops to attack Lan Yan City?"
"That's right. ”
Feng Jixing looked at the majestic outline of Lanyan City in the distance with deep eyes, and said: "Lanyan City is the imperial capital, the richest city in the world, and the location of the three divisions and six departments of the empire. ”
Lin Muyu smiled: "Didn't Xiao Yin already order Lan Gong and Xiang Yu to lead the army to accompany the troops? It's okay, let's talk about it...... Xiaoxi has already gone to the Seventh Customs to receive the Tang family's army, Xiaoxi holds the Tang Gate's iron order, and is not afraid that those Tang family members will not obey the order. ”
"Well, we can only hope that the situation is developing in a good direction, let's go, tonight we have to respond separately to cheer up the senior generals, otherwise...... They were already frightened by the 500,000 forces of the demon race. ”
"Hmm!"
......
Soon the night fell, a bright moon hung high in the air, and the waning moon bent and bent, so that many literati and scholars chanted poems that have been passed down through the ages, but at this moment, this round of waning moon hung in the sky above Lanyan City like a blood-colored sickle, once it fell, the people of the Three Realms would surely die.
On the high point general platform of the Gentian Legion, Lin Muyu stood majestically with the Xingchen Sword in his hand, his cloak flew high, and the three-star general rank insignia on his shoulder glowed golden in the moonlight, he looked at the people under the stage, where almost all the middle and senior generals above the rank of commander of the Gentian Battalion were concentrated, and nearly 100 people fought in a mighty battle.
Everyone stared at Lin Muyu with a pair of bull's eyes, they were all rough people, but they knew that the commander had something to say, so they all waited and saw what kind of shocking words Lin Muyu, a Confucian who had served as the archdeacon of the temple, would say.
"Ahem!"
Lin Muyu cleared his throat and asked, "Brothers, you and I are both imperial soldiers, and now that the 500,000 army of the demon clan is in the realm, the strength is far superior to ours, I only ask you, are you afraid?"
"I'm afraid!" said in unison, with all their voices hoarse.
"It's useless to be afraid. ”
Lin Muyu raised his long sword straight above the top, and said: "It is our fate to sprinkle blood on the battlefield, only a battle can protect our homeland, I, Lin Muyu, do not guarantee that you will come back alive to see the bright moon in Lanyan City above your head, but I promise that even if you die in battle, our Gentian Legion will only die in glory, instead of stealing life, I don't promise to win a victory with you, but I promise that we will go all out and live up to the honor of the imperial soldiers! All of them, turn around and go back to sleep immediately, and set off early tomorrow morning!"
"Yes!"
