After listening to Ye Qingcang's analysis, Li Changfeng sighed.

It's a bit of a hassle.

The artillery was too bulky and had poor mobility.

If only the internal combustion engine was invented, it would be nice to build a tank directly and push the world across.

Of course, there is another way, and that is to create mortars that are easy to carry.

However, mortars have higher requirements for materials and shells, and cannot be achieved in a short period of time, unless the smelting technology achieves a breakthrough again.

He already understood the reason why Emperor Qianwu intended to summon him.

Really.

As soon as Ye Qingcang's words fell, Emperor Qianwu said: "The only way to do this is to let you take over the position of the marshal of Jianye and conquer the Hu clan in the north." ”

Li Changfeng tried to struggle: "Can't you send other generals?" ”

Ye Qingcang picked up the conversation and said: "We know that Your Highness, you are now responsible for it, but even His Royal Highness Jianye, who knows so much about thermal weapons, can't do anything, and the other generals are even more helpless, and the position of Generalissimo of the Northern Expedition belongs to you!" ”

Li Changfeng glanced at Emperor Qianwu's expression that could not be refused, sighed and said helplessly: "Okay." ”

Emperor Qianwu nodded with satisfaction: "Without further ado, I will set off tomorrow with some cronies, and there must be no mistake!" ”

"Yes, Father!" Li Changfeng bowed down to receive the order, then looked at Feng Quji and Ye Qingcang, and solemnly admonished: "Two, after the departure of this prince, the Ministry of Railways will be handed over to you, and you must ensure the progress and quality of the project!" ”

Feng went and bowed down and said, "Your Highness, don't worry, if you have any questions, ask the old minister!" ”

Ye Qingcang also bowed his hand and said: "Who dares to make small moves when you are away, then let them see if the veteran's knife is still fast!" ”

Emperor Qianwu also spoke: "Don't worry, this matter has far-reaching implications, and I will personally inquire about it." ”

"That's very good."

"Okay, hurry up and prepare, and set off tomorrow!"

Li Changfeng left the palace with a heavy heart.

He thought carefully about Ye Qingcang's military analysis, and after thinking about it, he couldn't find an effective way to defeat the Hu army.

But if you don't go, you can't.

In the blink of an eye, the carriage came to the mansion.

When the coachman opened the curtain and asked him to get out of the car, Li Changfeng came back to his senses and thought that he had forgotten the purpose of going to the palace.

"Forget it, just bring penicillin to the north to treat the wounded, and talk about it when he returns to Beijing in the future."

Li Changfeng got out of the car and sent people to prepare the materials for the northern expedition and arrange the entourage.

The Lei Cavalry under his command, some of the guards in the mansion, and many people who take care of Li Changfeng's daily life need to be carried.

People who don't have a good hand under them can't do it.

The mansion became busy all of a sudden, and everyone knew that Li Changfeng was going to go north, and Chunni came over after hearing the news.

"I'm going too." Her look and tone were not to be denied

Li Changfeng knew that Chunni wanted to see a large-scale war and see the might of artillery on the battlefield, so he agreed without any hesitation.

"Okay, come with me tomorrow."

The last time the Southern Expedition was besieged by the barbarian temple gods is still vivid, and the Hu people also have a wolf temple, who knows if there will be a more terrifying transcendent existence.

Last time, there was an old monster, and this time you can use the master of spring mud.

At the same time, the household department of the capital and the Imperial City Janissaries were also busy.

This time, Li Changfeng went on an expedition to the north, and he wanted to bring 10,000 guards from the imperial city, which were the elite of the great cadres to support the northern border.

There are also a lot of grain and grass and baggage to accompany them.

Such a big movement attracted the attention of the people in the capital, and soon the news of Li Changfeng's northern expedition spread throughout the capital.

In the streets and alleys, men, women and children, are all talking about this matter.

"I'll just say, I should have let His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes go north in the first place, do you think now, he has to go?"

"I've heard people say this, saying that His Royal Highness the Ninth Emperor Prince wanted to engage in the Ministry of Railways, and recommended Li Jianye, the Eleventh Prince."

"Having said that, it's not that His Royal Highness the Eleventh Prince can't do it, it's mainly because of the terrain of the Hu clan that the artillery is difficult to exert its power, and the strange beast is more terrifying than the evil beast, so His Royal Highness the Eleventh Prince will be helpless."

"This time it is His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes who are personally recruiting, and the Hu clan is going to be finished this time!"

"Needless to say? What kind of thing are the Hu people, His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes will definitely be able to beat them to cry and cry their fathers and mothers. ”

“……”

The next day, Li Changfeng set out for the expedition.

When he walked out of the door, there were already people standing outside the door of the mansion on both sides of the door, and they knelt down to wish him a triumphant return.

Li Changfeng rode a high-headed horse, without the slightest shelf, and greeted the people on both sides of the street, and Chunni followed behind with a surprised expression.

Li Changfeng's popularity in the public exceeded her expectations.

On the road, Li Changfeng has been silent and worried.

So far, he has not come up with a way to turn defeat into victory and defeat the Hu people.

Three days later, Li Changfeng came to JYG, the first city in the north, and Li Jianye, who had received the report of the fast horse early, led the crowd to wait outside the city gate.

"Meet the Generalissimo of the Northern Expedition!"

The troops visited the shrine, and the momentum shook the sky.

Everyone's eyes were full of hope, hoping that Li Changfeng could reverse the situation.

Li Changfeng dismounted and shouted: "Flat, go back to the city." ”

The troops got up and turned back, and Li Jianye greeted him with shame on his face.

"Brother Jiu, I was useless, I wasted the opportunity you gave me, and many soldiers died because of it......"

Li Changfeng patted him on the shoulder, interrupted him and said: "You can't blame you for this matter, although the artillery is strong, it is not without shortcomings, this war can make you realize the defects of the artillery is a good thing, as for the casualties ......"

Li Changfeng paused, sighed and said, "How can there be immortals in war?" ”

"But ......"

"There's nothing good to do, let's go back to the city."

Li Jianye nodded, only then did he notice the spring mud that came with the army, and said in surprise: "Why is she here too?" ”

Women join the army, which is against the rules.

It's just that Li Changfeng's status is extraordinary, no one says anything about him, and Li Jianye's relationship with him is extraordinary, so he has no scruples.

Li Changfeng didn't explain much, and said with a smile: "She is not an ordinary person, you will know in the future." ”

The army entered the city.

Chunni followed not far behind Li Changfeng, looking curiously at the surrounding environment along the way, and his peerless appearance amazed the entire JYG.

Li Changfeng ordered the accompanying army to rest and recuperate, refused the reception banquet set by Li Jianye, and went to check the injury of Sun Xueyi, the general of the northern border.

Sun Xueyi was lying on the sickbed, already unconscious.

His skin was dark and rough, his beard was unkempt, his resolute face was bloodless, pale as paper, and his brow was furrowed with pain.

"Where's the wound?" Li Changfeng asked.

"On the chest!"

The military doctor hurriedly stepped forward and tore open Sun Xueyi's shirt, only to see that the wound was red and swollen and had begun to rot, with yellow gelatinous material on the edge of the wound, and half of his chest was swollen.

Undoubtedly, it was the wound that was infected.

The chief of the military doctor sighed, and said with a low expression: "The general was wounded by an arrow, and now the wound infection is no longer a technique to return to heaven, and the day of returning to heaven is on these two days." ”
