Since it was the will, Li Zhao didn't dare to slack off, and was about to go to greet him, but the servant came up.

It was Shang's father-in-law who was very puzzled when he saw Li Zhao standing on a high hill, but he didn't ask much and announced the decree.

"Li Zhao takes the order!"

Li Zhao knelt down to receive the order.

"Your Majesty instructed Li Zhao to return to Xianyang City immediately and not to stay." In just a few words, I also saw the emperor's anger and worry.

Li Zhao stopped, without thanking him, and turned his head to stare into the distance, deep and solemn.

"Thank you right away!" Shang Xin urged.

Li Zhao's eyes sharpened, swept over Shang Xin, pointed to the distant shadow below and said:

"Father-in-law, please go back and return to Your Majesty, the thief army is coming, Li Zhao is the main general, you can't hide in the city and steal your life, this is Li Zhao's battlefield, unless the thief army breaks through Chang'an Township."

To put it firmly, this is a rejection.

"You?" Shang Xin froze, his face turned angry.

He didn't expect Li Zhao to resist the decree at this time, and his sharp words came out, but he eased up a lot, "Li, General Li, Your Majesty is also for your good, the thief army is at the moment, if you don't leave, you will die." ”

"Are you so afraid of death?"

In fact, Shang Xin didn't want to see Li Zhao have an accident, and after coming and going, the two of them were already very familiar.

Li Zhao glanced at Shang Xin, moved his footsteps, and scanned the entire Chang'an Township.

"I, Li Zhao, am also flesh and blood, of course I'm afraid, but compared to the wolf ambition of the thief army, what is death?" Li Zhao looked into the distance, trying his best to make himself look like death, but in his heart was another thought.

Death, he must be afraid, but he is even more afraid of losing all this, Chang'an Township, which has been in business for so long, is his family business, and it is the foundation for him to become the richest man in the future, how can it be destroyed in the hands of the thief army? He must protect his things and never let them destroy them.

What's more, even if he doesn't leave, the thief army may be able to do anything about it, even if the other party has 50,000 troops.

You must know that all he took out were advanced weapons, in the era of cold weapons, these things were gods, even if they couldn't exterminate the thief army, at least they could be blocked outside Chang'an Township.

"You, hopeless!" Although Shang Xin said this in his mouth, he was still moved in his heart.

In order to block the thief army, without a single soldier, he took his family alone to resist the army of tigers and wolves, and a few people in Daqin did this, even if the Marquis of Tongwu back then couldn't do it.

Li Zhao smiled and arched his hand, "Father-in-law, the general will be outside, the emperor's order is not subject to it, please go back and tell Your Majesty, just say that Li Zhao will take good care of himself, and when the thief army is driven away, he will enter the palace to ask for guilt." ”

Shang Xin was moved to be moved, but His Majesty asked him to announce that Li Zhao would go back, and if Li Zhao didn't return, he would not be able to complete the task, and he would be implicated when he returned to the palace, and Li Zhao must be allowed to return to the palace.

"General Li, you are embarrassing the old slave, if you don't go back to the palace, how can the old slave explain to Your Majesty."

"The thief army is fierce and numerous, you don't care about your own safety, you have to think about the people of Chang'an, stay, they have only one possibility, that is, death."

Li Zhao smiled and said, "When the thief army retreats, I will explain it to Your Majesty, and you don't need to explain this matter, if Your Majesty blames it, I will bear it." ”

"As for whether my Chang'an Township will die, it's really hard to say."

This was said firmly.

"You, you, what do you tell the old slave to say, just die!" Shang Xin thought about it, shook his hand and left, he didn't cling anymore, he could only go back and tell His Majesty the truth.

This son is too stubborn and incurable.

Just as he was about to leave, suddenly, a slave hurriedly reported: "Young master, the thief army has stepped into the flat area, shouldn't it be time to go to war?" ”

"At war?" When Shang Xin heard this, his body paused, stopped, and looked back, his eyes full of pity.

It was as if to say: go to war? With these people in Chang'an Township fighting with tens of thousands of thieves, how bold is Li Zhao! Even if it is big, it has to be used in the right way, and if you hit a stone with an egg like this, no matter how much power you have, you will suffer.

"Yes, go to war!"

Li Zhao was stunned, and immediately picked up the telescope to look into the distance, and sure enough, the thief army had entered the flat ground, with thousands of people, and there were long black spots behind them.

"I can't even recognize my mother who blew them up."

He threw the black flag down with a hard blow.

Seeing this action, Shang Xin wanted to pee, and hurriedly stepped on the horse, wanting to fly away quickly.

Li Zhao did not accompany Li Zhao to die like this, and he still had to serve His Majesty with a useful body.

But the next moment, a rumbling sound startled him, and the sound was like thunder, shaking the whole land.

When I looked at the sky, the sky was clear, there was no sign of rain, and there were no dark clouds, but how did this thunder come about?

Driven by curiosity, he turned around and happened to see Li Zhao raising the black flag again.

"Come again!"

Li Zhao threw down the black flag again, which was extremely powerful.

Then, the sound of the ground shaking and the mountains shaking, and he could faintly feel a tremor from the ground.

"What's going on?"

Such a voice is not big, nor small is it small, but he is sure that it must come from within a mile, "Could it be that the voice was made by Li Zhao?" That's what he said about going to war? ”

"Or, did Li Zhao launch a big murder weapon?"

But at first glance, Li Zhao did not have a big killing weapon in his hand. And, as far as he knew, when the Great Killer was activated, the sound was loud, but not continuous.

Shang Xin was even more curious, so much so that he forgot to be afraid, and the horse also slowly stopped under his uncontrollable control, dropped off the horse, and walked over in a daze, and asked, "General Li, what's going on with this voice?" ”

Li Zhao's face was solemn, and he didn't answer him, but handed over the telescope in his hand, "Look for yourself." ”

Shang Xin looked at this thing, it was very novel, but now was not the time to be surprised, so he hurriedly took it and put it in front of him like Li Zhao, and the scene in front of him surprised him.

The vision quickly zooms in, and the hazy is clearly visible.

There was a tragedy everywhere I looked.

Above the flat ground, full of gunsmoke, under the smoke of gunpowder, there were thousands of people lying on the ground, these people did not have the clothing of the regular army of the imperial court, but they were also unified, but under the unity, there were red blood stains and broken limbs, and they seemed to be in pain when they moved.

He guessed that if he was close, he would be able to hear their terrible noises.

He thought that what he saw was a fantasy, so he hurriedly put down the binoculars, rubbed his eyes, and looked around, the distance was blurry, and he couldn't see it really, but he could still see the slowly rising gunsmoke.

There is gunsmoke that is definitely not an illusion, a trace of shock appeared on his face, and he hurriedly brought the binoculars again, and the bleak scene just now resurfaced, the gunpowder smoke had risen high, and the scene on the flat ground became clearer and clearer.

"Lee, General Lee, what's wrong with them? Did you do it? ”

Li Zhao smiled, did not answer, snatched the telescope from the slave next to him, and continued to investigate.

After two rounds of explosions, thousands of thieves were blown up and lost their combat effectiveness, but only a few thousand, and there were still dense fish coming from behind.

Scattered like ants.

They are like a school of fish rushing for food, even if there is an explosion in front, it can't stop the rush into the flat ground from behind.

So that he was stunned when he saw the explosion, and the thief army in front of him who had escaped was forced into the flat ground by the flow of people.

But people are always aware of danger, and they dare not rush into the bombed potholes and detour to other places.

Seeing this, Li Zhao smiled.

The thief army has always been a thief army, but it is just a temporarily organized bandit, and the march is completely unorganized, so they want to reach their destination as soon as possible.

If you go where you are, you may not be able to threaten them, but you can take a detour! Hey! They are destined not to see the sun of tomorrow.

In this area, he ordered thousands of mines to be laid, covering almost the entire flat land.

"General Li, you haven't answered me yet? In such a war, the old slave has to talk to His Majesty about it, but you have to tell the situation in detail. ”

Li Zhao restrained his smile, and just said lightly: "Look for yourself, don't get in the way of me." ”

"Right now, the third wave, up."

The black flag in Li Zhao's hand was thrown down fiercely.

Shang Xin realized something, clenched the telescope and circled his eyes, staring at it deadly.

As soon as Li Zhao's words fell, suddenly, another terrifying rumbling sound came, and then such a picture appeared in Shang Xin's eyes.

It was a picture he had never seen before, and what a shocking picture.

Under the feet of the thief army, hundreds of fires burst out out of thin air, and the firelight mixed with this thick smoke came from the bottom up, and then the thief army flew into the air, fell to the ground and no longer moved, so that it became a meat board in the chaos, which was shocking to see.

All around, there were blood stains and stumps.

In this way, there are thousands of thieves who hate the present.

"This, this" Shang Xin was stunned.

The flames seemed to come out of the ground, and then the remnants of the army were scattered, a scene he had never seen or heard of, but it was true, it happened.

The thieves were alive one moment, and the next they were reduced to lying down, and everything happened in a moment, and it was impossible to imagine what had mistreated them.

"General Li, please tell me what is going on, the old slave must tell His Majesty about this scene."

Shang Xin was no longer afraid, showing that he was full of excitement, the heart that he wanted to flee before had long disappeared, and he only had bright eyes.

"This is a landmine!" Li Zhao didn't have time to explain to him, just responded in a hurry, and immediately rushed down the mountain.

After three rounds of explosions, even the pigs knew that this place was dangerous, and although the thieves were chaotic, they were not stupid, and they would definitely change their route and march from other places.

It's not appropriate to stay here any longer.

As he expected, the thief army stopped, and the general-like figure stepped out of it, then quickly retreated, and soon disappeared from sight.

"Landmines?" Shang Xin was still muttering in place, looking for thousands of times in his mind, but he couldn't find what the mine was, and when he saw that Li Zhao was far away, he hurriedly chased after him, "General Li, what is a mine?" You should talk to the old slave, so that the old slave can show off in front of His Majesty. ”

Shang Xin said it very bluntly.

But Li Zhao has already gone far.

"No punches, how is the fight? Where did the thieves retreat? ”

Li Zhao found no fist and asked as soon as possible.

At this moment, Wufist's eyes were full of shock, and he looked at Li Zhao excitedly, as if he saw a god.

Not to mention him, the villagers of Chang'an are the same, looking at them with blazing eyes, extremely hot.

Li Zhao smiled, he knew why everyone had such strange eyes, it was really shocking that the three waves of explosions just now.

They wiped out almost 10,000 thieves with a single pull, and the thieves couldn't even see their shadows.

Wuquan reacted and immediately reported: "Back to the young master, my Chang'an villagers are not injured, and the damage of the thief army should be 10,000." ”

"According to the spies' report, the thieves stopped when they retreated two miles away, and had no intention of leaving."

"Oh!" Li Zhao was not surprised, as far as he had just estimated, the damage was not exaggerated within 10,000, and as for the thief army stopping two miles away, this showed that the thief army was not dead and vowed to pass through Xianyang from here.

"That's it! Since they are not afraid of death, come! Li Zhao swept everyone and asked solemnly: "How many mines were consumed just now, but there is still left?" ”

"There are thousands, and there is not much left."

Li Zhao nodded, thousands of mines destroyed thousands of thieves, which is a good record, of course, this is also thanks to the assistance of sulfuric acid, to say that thousands of mines killed 10,000 people, such a record is a bit exaggerated, but with sulfuric acid it is not necessarily true.

Although sulfuric acid cannot explode, it can quickly splash on people's bodies with the impact force of the explosion, and corrode strongly, causing people to be seriously injured if they do not die.

However, it also consumes half of the sulfuric acid, which is a bit of a cost.

"This thing is so good, please get some more, and blow these bastards to pieces without fists." Try to mine the awesome, no fist addicted, surrender request.

Li Zhao gave him a blank look.

Landmines are easy to use, but it also depends on when, the thief army that has suffered three losses in a row is not prepared for mines, then they are not worthy of rebellion.

It is unrealistic to drill here knowing that there is something that threatens their lives, which means that it is difficult to use landmines to give them another fatal blow if they are on guard.

What's more, there are thousands of mines sent by Ah Chao, and if you want to replenish them, you have to wait for a while, but you can't afford to wait at the moment.

Li Zhao waved his hand and said: "The mines are too limited, and it is difficult to use them again to have miraculous effects, and it is in vain to use them. ”

Then he asked: "Is the defense of the western side ready?" ”

Wuquan was a pity, but when he heard the young master ask the west, he hurriedly replied: "It's all ready, just wait for the thieves to send it to the door." ”

"Very good, inform everyone immediately, machine guns are waiting, be sure to let them injure 10,000 more people, let them be unrecognizable."

Chang'an Township faces outward on three sides, forming a good barrier and merging the road to Xianyang into one, that is, if you want to get to Chang'an Township, you have to pass through the south of Chang'an Township.

And if you want to pass through the south, you can come from three sides.

Li Zhao saw the shortcomings of Chang'an Township, so he set up defenses on three sides.

Mines are buried in the north, corroded roads are in the west, and thunder falls in the east, hehe, boundless.

Shang Xin followed Li Zhao closely, and when he heard such a result, he was so shocked that he couldn't describe his expression, but he was very disappointed when he knew that Li Zhao no longer used mines, and when he heard the machine gun, he was very surprised, and even more unrecognizable, and he was frightened.

Machine gun? What a new thing, this thing is unrecognizable and a little scary.

But he didn't ask much, he was not in a hurry to go back and report now, he wanted to keep everything that happened here in his eyes, and report it to His Majesty when he returned.

"Yes, young master!" Wuquan responded excitedly, and the others also surged into a heart, and the previous fear was all hidden.

It's all thanks to the magic of landmines, and if landmines are so good, what about the ones that are hanging from the bottles? Does that thing that looks at the heavens also have such a miraculous effect?

At the moment, they are desperate for this to happen right away.

"No fist, you lead two hundred men to immediately guard the east, two hundred follow me to the west, and the rest hold on here, if they commit it again, give me a hard beating."

Li Zhao commanded, and pointed to the machine guns in the hands of everyone.

Everyone patted the thing hanging on their bodies and nodded confidently. I haven't tried this thing, but I'm sure it's something amazing.

With this thing, they have no fear of the thief army.

"Yes!"
