Nangong Changming was in a particularly good mood.

He has never drunk in the army, and even drank a few drinks at lunch.

Because a herald set off a day earlier, he came to Dingyang City before Li Changfeng's army, bringing the news that Li Changfeng led the army to come.

He had waited too long for this day.

When Daqian first established the country, he was entrusted by Emperor Qianwu to guard southern Xinjiang against the barbarians.

Over the years, the barbarians often had small armies enter the territory of Daqian to burn and loot, and many of the soldiers under his command were killed and wounded, and the last time the barbarians invaded on a large scale, more than 50,000 people were killed and wounded.

These people included his subordinates who had followed him for many years, as well as veterans who had fought with him in the north and south, and many recruits who had not been in the army for a long time and were still very immature.

Because the barbarians took the lead with evil beasts, most of the soldiers did not even leave a whole corpse, which became the rations of the evil beasts.

Whenever he thought of this, Nangong Changming gritted his teeth with hatred.

Although Li Changfeng led the artillery battalion and musket battalion to achieve a great victory, and the barbarian soldiers died even more, it was still difficult to understand the hatred in his heart.

For many years, he has always wanted to destroy the Southern Barbarians, but Emperor Qianwu did not allow it, so he could only endure it.

Now's finally here!

The soldiers under his command were also looking forward to revenge day and night, so early in the morning of the second day, Nangong Changming and all the soldiers under his command went out of the city ten miles to welcome Li Changfeng's arrival.

It was almost noon in the world, and there was still no shadow of Li Changfeng's army, but no one had lost patience, and they were still discussing in groups.

"With His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes, the barbarians are finished this time."

"Needless to say? It's also to blame the Southern Barbarians for looking for their own death, if they don't burn His Highness's Azure Tree, where did this kind of thing come from? ”

"I heard that His Highness brought a full 500 artillery pieces and 2,000 muskets this time, we don't need to exert much effort, just follow behind and kill the fish that slipped through the net!"

"Isn't that right? As for those southern barbarians with swords, where can they be the opponents of muskets and artillery? ”

"Anyway, I don't know when we'll be able to use muskets and artillery."

“……”

Just as everyone was talking, there was a rumbling sound in the distance, and everyone's eyes were drawn to it.

I saw smoke and dust flags fluttering in the distance, and a group of people riding three-wheeled motorcycles drove over.

In the entire Dingyang City, only Nangong Changming and a few high-level generals were equipped with motorcycles, where had they seen so many motorcycles, and they couldn't help but widen their eyes for a while.

This momentum is much stronger than horseback riding!

Nangong Changming let out a low shout: "Pay attention to the formation, prepare to meet the generalissimo of the Southern Expedition!" ”

"Yes! Checkmate! ”

All the soldiers cheered up and straightened their backs with all their might, all wanting to make a good impression on Li Changfeng.

Soon, the two motorcycles were the first to drive in front of everyone and stopped.

Nangong Changming hurriedly led the crowd to kneel down to pay respects.

"The last general, Nangong Changming, met with the Generalissimo of the Southern Expedition and met His Royal Highness the Eleventh Prince!"

Other soldiers also followed to pay homage, and the momentum shook the sky.

Li Changfeng didn't have the slightest arrogance, and hurriedly jumped off the motorcycle to help Nangong Changming laugh and said: "General Nangong, please get up, all the soldiers, please get up!" ”

Li Jianye followed closely behind to pick up the other generals.

These are all old acquaintances who fought with him back then, Li Jianye looked a little excited and greeted everyone, Zhang Haihui and Zhao Yong also followed over to greet everyone.

Nangong Changming glanced behind Li Changfeng and asked, "Why don't you see the soldiers of the artillery battalion?" ”

Li Changfeng said with a smile: "The artillery is too heavy to raise the speed, and it is still behind, this prince led the others to arrive first, and discussed with the general about the march into the Southern Barbarians!" ”

"How dare you, how dare you!"

Nangong Changming said politely, bowed down and made a gesture of please: "Please also invite the handsome man to enter the city!" ”

"Okay, enter the city!"

……

Ever since the Great Cadre issued a conquest document, the barbarian king had amassed 200,000 troops on the border, ready to resist the Great Cadre army at any time.

The leader this time is Li Changfeng's old opponent Hadang Muren.

At that time, the barbarian invasion of Daqian was the army he led, and the two gods of the temple at that time walked with him, driving away more than 8,000 evil beasts, which can be described as shocking.

He thought that he could defeat Li Changfeng and take down Daqian, but unexpectedly, the temple god couldn't take Li Changfeng even if the two of them were one, and then he was beaten half to death by a mysterious old man and fled in panic.

Then the Daqian army crushed him and almost killed him in the army.

That battle left too much shadow on his heart.

So this time, when the barbarian king wanted him to lead the army to resist the Daqian army, he refused, and even did not hesitate to pretend to be sick for this.

It's not that he's afraid of war, it's that the weapons of war of the two countries are completely different from the same level, and going to the battlefield is completely looking for death.

The barbarians had no chance of defeating Daqian at all.

To use an inappropriate analogy, a barbarian is a child with a wooden stick, while Daqian is a strong man with a long knife.

However, the barbarian king pierced his mind and reprimanded him fiercely, saying that he had to have experience in fighting with Li Changfeng, and threatened his wife and children at home, so he had to lead the army to fight.

He really didn't want to fight this war, hated Habur to death, and always hoped that Habur would be able to turn the war into a jade silk when he went to the capital of Daqian.

At the same time, he also sent a large number of spies to lurk in Dingyang City to monitor.

this day.

Hadang Muren, who was in a bad mood, was drinking alcohol, and the herald hurriedly broke into the military tent and shouted: "Urgent! Urgent! The Nine Emperors of Daqian led the army to Dingyang City! ”

"What!"

The wine glass in Hadang Muren's hand fell to the ground and stood up suddenly.

"How many people did you bring? How many muskets? How many artillery pieces ?! ”

"The number of people is unknown, Li Changfeng led the musket battalion to arrive first, and the other armies escorted the artillery battalion behind, the number of muskets is nearly two thousand, and the number of artillery is unknown, but it is rumored to be five hundred!"

Hadang Muren's face turned pale as paper in an instant, and he couldn't help but think of the terrible scene when Li Changfeng used artillery to defeat the barbarian army without any resistance and run away with his head.

Five hundred!

How could an army of barbarians withstand it?

The leading generals are like this, and the herald's expression is even more unbearable, and he has completely lost his backbone.

His voice trembled a little and said, "General? ”

Hadang Muren came back to his senses at this time, and forced himself to calm down: "The general has already taken countermeasures, let the spies probe again, and do their best to learn more about the details of the Great Cadre Army!" ”

"Yes, General!"

The herald still looked terrified, gritted his teeth and left the herald.

Hadang Muren fell into deep thought.

But he was about to run out of his hair, and he didn't come up with an effective countermeasure, so in the end he could only summon all the generals in the army to discuss.

However, these generals are the same as him.

In the end, he could only order the implementation of a method that could only delay the pace of the army of the great cadres, but could not change the fate of defeat.

"Pass the order, everyone will move to General Ben, dig trenches and bury wooden thorns, and dig as many as they can, until the Daqian army comes to attack!"
