The generals under Nangong Changming were also stunned at this time, looking at the people in the artillery battalion and musket battalion who were busy, and their hearts were full of puzzlement.

What are they taking?

What are they doing?

Are these things used to fight evil beasts and barbarian soldiers?

Some generals were curious and wanted to come forward to ask and check, but they were forced to retreat by the 30,000 people brought by Li Changfeng, telling them that these things were very dangerous.

These arrogant soldiers refused to accept it, and a conflict immediately occurred, and they almost drew their knives to do it, but Nangong Changming stepped forward to suppress it.

Nangong Changming's identity was special, so naturally no one dared to stop him, so he came to Li Changfeng's side and asked, "Your Highness, is this what you rely on to deal with evil beasts and barbarian soldiers?" ”

Li Changfeng smiled: "That's right, I don't have time to explain to you now, and soon you will see their power." ”

At this moment, Li Jianye came to Nangong Changming and gave a military salute: "General Nangong, I have heard my father talk about your martial arts on weekdays, and today I can see that you are really extraordinary!" ”

Nangong Changming was stunned for a moment: "Are you?" ”

"Your Majesty's eleventh son, Li Jianye."

Nangong Changming hurriedly bowed and saluted: "The last general will meet His Royal Highness the Eleventh Prince!" ”

Li Jianye hurriedly helped Nangong Changming up: "General Nangong can't be like this, I'm just a small deputy battalion commander in terms of identity...... I still have military affairs with me, so I'm going to get busy first! ”

After speaking, Li Jianye went to direct the soldiers to install the artillery.

Nangong Changming looked at Li Jianye's back thoughtfully.

If His Majesty did not have absolute confidence, how could he send two princes to such a dangerous front line that would kill him at every turn?

Inexplicably, Nangong Changming has a little more trust in Li Changfeng.

Li Changfeng didn't have time to pay attention to him at this time, and had already come to the front of the soldiers in the musket battalion.

"Most of you are not equipped with muskets, and even if you are equipped with muskets, I am afraid that you will not be able to use them, and the evil beasts will definitely not be able to kill the city walls, but you have more important tasks."

"Now, according to what you learned before, plant explosives in the open space in front of the battle, and blow up as many as you want!"

Speaking of this, Li Changfeng patted Zhang Haihui on the shoulder.

"This mission is led by you, this is a good opportunity for you and your brothers to make a contribution, but don't go wrong."

Zhang Haihui was sent to Nanhai Mansion to arrange the shipyard and wharf before, and after the arrangements were made, he returned to Beijing.

He said before that he would give Zhang Haihui the opportunity to make contributions, and now he can be regarded as fulfilling his promise.

Zhang Haihui naturally understood how important this battle was to him, and he hammered his chest hard and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, if the explosives pack doesn't sound, you will blow up your subordinates!" ”

"Okay, let's go."

Then, under the puzzled eyes of the entire Zhennan Pass defenders, Zhang Haihui led a group of soldiers carrying many packages and long rope-like things on their backs, carrying shovels without any blades.

Then he came to a place dozens of feet away and worked hard to dig a pit and bury things.

Nangong Changming and the generals were also very puzzled.

They don't understand what these people are burying and what the point is in doing so.

Although everything had been arranged, Li Changfeng was not idle, constantly patrolling and inspecting the city wall to ensure that every artillery piece was fine.

There are also grenades and ammunition that need to be checked.

There were already too many dead soldiers in Zhennanguan, and he didn't want any more casualties, so he had to make sure that these weapons were as effective as possible.

In the blink of an eye, it was dark.

Zhang Haihui and others had already buried the explosives hundreds of zhang away, and the fuses had been laid back to the city wall.

Li Jianye also arranged all the artillery pieces properly, distributed the ammunition, and arranged the firing points.

The city walls are brightly lit.

The logistics staff sent the prepared food to the city wall, and Li Changfeng did not open another small stove, but ate with the army on the city wall.

This scene made him feel a lot better.

In fact, it's not that Li Changfeng doesn't want to open a small stove, it's just that the whole Zhennanguan smells of blood, it's the same everywhere, and he doesn't have much appetite at all.

Nangong Changming and Li Jianye ate with him.

Li Jianye was a little excited: "After practicing for more than half a year, this time I can finally fuck him happily!" ”

Li Changfeng was very calm and advised: "Remember that the task of your artillery battalion is to strike at a long distance, don't hit the artillery to bombard the medium-range position." ”

"Don't worry, there are explosives in the medium-range position, I won't disrupt the rhythm of the attack."

"Remember, after all the beasts and enemies are in, you must divide some artillery and attack the retreat path with all your might, and don't let them escape easily."

"Understand, catch turtles in the urn, since you are here, you have to leave your life behind!"

The two of them spoke very quickly to confirm the details of the battlefield, but Nangong Changming on the side heard it in a fog and didn't understand what they were talking about.

After fighting in the south and north all his life, he couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness and frustration, and a feeling of being eliminated by the times.

Could it be that this is why His Majesty made His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes the Marshal?

Nangong Changming couldn't help but think.

At this moment, there was a sudden "boom" sound in the distance, and Nangong Changming stood up suddenly.

"It's an evil beast!"

Nangong Changming's expression became extremely solemn.

If Li Changfeng's arrangements are useless, then it will be a hard-fought battle of life and death.

According to his estimates, even with the more than 30,000 people brought by Li Changfeng, it was impossible for them to be the opponent of these evil beasts and the 80,000 barbarian army behind the evil beasts.

At that time, the entire Zhennan Pass garrison is afraid that there will be no one out of ten who will die.

Li Jianye also stood up suddenly.

But unlike Nangong Changming's solemn expression, he seemed a little excited, with an eager expression.

Li Changfeng looked calm, got up and shouted.

"Prepare for battle!"

Li Jianye didn't say a word, didn't eat any food, and trotted to make arrangements.

Nangong Changming was worried in his heart, and arched his hand: "Your Highness, the defenders of Zhennan Pass have rested for an afternoon, it's time to go into battle!" ”

Li Changfeng nodded: "Go to the city wall!" ”

Just let the defenders of Zhennan Pass see what a hot weapon is.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

The rapid sound of war drums sounded, and the whole town was moved, and all the soldiers who could still fight came to the city wall with their weapons.

As for the city gates, they have already been sealed with a large number of boulders.

The soldiers of Zhennan Pass looked very solemn.

They had fought the beasts and barbarian soldiers several times, and knew how terrible they were.

Some of the soldiers even looked desperate.

The walls of Zhennanguan are so dilapidated that if they are lost, they will be torn to pieces by evil beasts and turned into food.

This fear is far more violent than being killed by the enemy.

Thundered!

The sound was getting louder and closer, and the whole earth shook slightly.

The city walls were brightly lit and crowded, but there was not a single sound, and everyone stared at the dark area from which the sound came, and they didn't even dare to breathe.

The unknown is the most terrifying.

Even if people already know that the beasts in the depths of the darkness are still afraid.

Li Changfeng, Li Jianye, Zhang Haihui, and Nangong Changming stood together, all staring closely at the depths of the darkness.

"Roaring ......"

The roar was getting closer.

Li Changfeng felt that it was almost over, and waved his hand: "Ignition." ”

Zhang Haihui nodded, and glanced at the dozen or so soldiers armed with bows and arrows behind him.

The soldier understood, lit the rocket, drew his longbow, and streaked a flash of fire in the dark night sky, landing on both sides of the valley floor.

Rumble!

Pile after pile of fires burst into flames, lighting up the entire battlefield.

In the place where the fire was burning, a large amount of firewood poured with fire oil was piled up, and it was difficult to extinguish even heavy rain, and its purpose was to light up the battlefield.

Otherwise, the light will be blind, and the target will not be clear, and the artillery will not be able to aim.

No one expected such a big flame.

In an instant, the dense evil beasts on the battlefield were reflected by the firelight, and they clearly appeared in the eyes of all the defenders of Zhennan Pass.

Looking at the dense array of locusts, all kinds of hideous and terrifying evil beasts, the hearts of the defenders of Zhennan Guanyuan rose to their throats.

According to their previous combat experience, even if there were 30,000 more people today, it would probably be difficult to block this wave of attacks.

"It's over, it's dead this time!"

"The city wall is so dilapidated, the ordnance is almost exhausted, and the south of the town can't be defended!"

"In this battle, I'm afraid we will all die in the mouth of the evil beast!"

"Even if you die, you have to pull a cushion, there are thousands of people behind us, including our wives and children!"

As he spoke, the beast was getting closer and closer, and a deafening roar seemed to be in his ears.

Even the many generals under Nangong Changming on the city wall were nervous.

"This time the beast seems to be a little crazier than last time."

"That's right, I'm afraid the barbarians have the intention of breaking through the South Pass of my town in one fell swoop."

"I'm afraid you and I are going to die here this time!"

"Haha, why is the husband afraid of death? If the Southern Barbarian wants to enter the hinterland of my great dry, he must pass through my corpse! ”

"You see, His Royal Highness the Nine Emperors is still on the city wall, and he hasn't escaped."

"I'm afraid I'm scared silly!"

"Haha......"

At this time, Li Changfeng was staring closely at the herd, estimating their distance from the city wall and the range coverage of the cannons.

"Your Highness!"

Zhang Haihui frowned, waiting for the order.

Li Changfeng was calm and calm: "Wait a little longer!" ”

"Brother Nine?"

Li Jianye stood in front of the cannon with a torch in his hand, eager to try.

"Wait!"

Li Changfeng still looked calm.

Nangong Changming on the side was holding his hands on the city wall, his muscles were tense, staring at the group of evil beasts that were getting closer and closer, and asked in a deep voice: "Your Highness, what was your previous arrangement, what are you waiting for?!" The beast is about to go beneath the walls! ”

Li Changfeng looked into the distance, and said in a calm tone: "Ben Shuai is waiting for more evil beasts to enter the ambush circle, waiting for the barbarian soldiers to appear in sight!" ”

This time, he came to the front line and emptied all the weapons and ammunition of the artillery battalion and the scientific research institute, and he was not afraid of any evil beasts.

His target is not only the evil beast, but also the barbarian soldiers who hide behind and secretly drive away the evil beast.

These are the culprits.
