When Yingxuan only took a dozen people all the way south again.

It was as if the appearance had changed along the way.

Nanyang, Huaiyang, Sichuan, Jiujiang.

The people's neighborhoods are obviously much more lively than before.

The homeless people on the road are almost gone.

Every family has something to rely on.

Every family has something to eat.

Looking at the newly reclaimed fields, Ying Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, the drought tolerance and adaptability of Champa rice played a role.

Even in an area with poor land, it can still grow and feed the poor for a year.

As long as you are willing to work, at least you will not starve to death.

When passing by Shouchun City, Ying Xuan was afraid that it would affect the people in the city, so he deliberately changed his face.

As soon as you enter the city, you will see groups of children playing and playing.

made Ying Xuan in a trance for a while, and the child who was brutally killed by the Zhi family seemed to have long passed.

The scars left on the city have long since healed.

Ying Xuan is very pleased, his efforts are worth it.

Until he passed by a certain house, he suddenly saw a portrait on the wall of the door.

The painting depicts a man with a majestic and handsome appearance.

A pair of eyes that are not angry but mighty.

Seeing it, he consciously stopped and nodded his head.

That's right, it's Yingxuan himself on the painting.

Ying Xuan, who didn't understand the situation, blinked her eyes and stopped a lady who had just gone out not far away.

I asked for advice very sincerely.

But who knew that after asking, he was despised.

"You don't even know that?"

"That's anti-Gu and anti-insect."

"There is a son, Gu worms don't dare to enter the house, keep safe!"

The lady glanced up and down at Yingxuan.

He seems to be puzzled, and he doesn't look like a poor man in his clothes.

"The year before last, it was only used by rich and noble families."

"Now that paper is cheaper, people usually save some food for the New Year."

"I can bless the wind and rain next year, and the crops will not be threatened by pests!"

Ying Xuan suddenly had a teachable expression.

Scratched his eyebrows slightly embarrassed.

"Door God! So why don't you stick it on the door? ”

The eldest lady was slightly stunned.

"What did you say?"

Then he blinked as if he had discovered a new world.

"Door god? Sticking to the door? ”

"Hiss~ Makes sense!"

The eldest lady was stunned for a while, and then suddenly remembered.

The eldest son in the family is posting it.

Immediately anxiously ran behind him.

"Prosperous wealth, wait, it's good to stick it on the door!"

"Straight to the door."

Ying Xuan's mouth opened slightly, and she looked at the lady who ran home and laughed twice.

I seem to have a lot of mouths.

Isn't this competing with the two great gods of later generations for iron jobs?

He turned around slightly, but saw Wang Cheng, Zhaoyi, and Chen Ping.

They all looked up at the sky, and they didn't see him acting so narcissistically.

Ying Xuan's toes tightened suddenly, and he laughed dryly and said to himself.

"It's okay, I'm smart, no one knows it's me!"

At this moment, a corner separated by a wall.

The familiar sound of "clatter" sounded at the right time.

"I knew that His Highness would come back to take a look, and I caught it!"

"Hey, hey, hey!"

Si Gou Zai lay on the ground, splashing ink in his hand to record.

"His Royal Highness is proud of his achievements, and he also proclaimed himself the god of the door, fooling the people to stick it to the gate, saying that it can keep peace."

After writing, Si Gozai carefully moved his buttocks, folded it and was about to put it in his arms.

Behind him, a black broom fell from the sky.

Slammed it on his tooth-stained ass.

"Whew~!"

"There is a thief, catch the thief!"

Si Gou Zai's face changed, and his hands covered his buttocks, stretching and twisting for a while.

The pupils were all together.

But the broom didn't let him go, and picked the delicate two-petal whipping.

Si Gou Jae wanted to climb over the wall, but he lost his strength for a while.

Ying Xuan happened to see this scene.

His face turned black on the spot, how could he be everywhere.

"Your Highness~Your Highness save me~!"

Stuck on the wall, Si Gou Jae moaned and begged for help.

Ying Xuan secretly gritted his teeth.

Don't think about it, the embarrassing thing just now must have been written down by this guy.

Watching the big broom play with his life.

Ying Xuan's heart is so comfortable.

Raise eyebrows.

"Your Highness? What Your Highness? Where is Your Highness? ”

With that, he turned and left.

Si Gou Jae suddenly despaired.

If no one saves him, he will be crippled if he is caught!

There's no way, even if you are chased by a dog, it's better than being caught and sent to the government to receive the 20th board.

Si Gou Zai gritted his teeth and shouted at the sky.

"Chang Xuan."

"I'm here~!"

In the distance, on another street, Chang Xuan, who was leading the vicious dog to pursue, was suddenly stunned.

It seems that he can't believe that Si Gou Jae is so proactive.

He frowned and looked at the three vicious dogs he was holding in his hands, could it be that he would be addicted to being bitten by dogs?

……

A few days passed, and Yingxuan came all the way to Lujiang County.

This time he didn't hide, and asked Lu Hui to take Yingxiang to greet him.

As soon as they met, they didn't even have a salute, so Ying Xuan anxiously asked.

"Did you really make it?"

Yingxiang grinned an extremely natural smile.

He nodded vigorously.

Lu Hui stepped forward and grabbed Yingxuan excitedly.

"Childe, listen."

The crowd fell silent.

Then I faintly heard the explosion sound from the mountain stream in the distance.

Ying Xuan was stunned for a moment.

This familiar and unfamiliar voice made him dazed for several breaths.

It was as if he had been brought back to that era.

Ying Xuan's hands clenched excitedly for a while.

"Let's go, I'm going to see it for myself!"

The crowd immediately rushed to the distant mine.

In less than half a day, Ying Xuan came to the foot of the mine mountain.

The faint rumble was already like thunder.

The occasional tremor on the ground also made Chen Ping suspicious.

He kept wondering in his heart, what was in this mountain?

This kind of movement is impossible for manpower to achieve, could it be that there are divine beasts?

When the crowd crossed the last hill.

I saw with my own eyes that the mountain stream was down.

The rows of bamboo houses, the well-defended soldiers.

and cracked rocks everywhere in the rear.

Chen Ping's eyes widened, even more incredulous.

What kind of living creature can cause such damage to the mountains?

Your Highness, what the hell is this going on?

Could it be that he still wants to catch this kind of artifact?

Just as he was thinking of this, a loud shout suddenly came from afar.

"The mountain is down!"

The next moment.

"Boom~"

The rubble burst and smoke and dust flew everywhere.

It was as if heaven and earth were toppling, and a rock the size of a house exploded into several pieces and rolled down the mountain stream.

Yingxiang looked at the scene in front of him proudly.

Lu Hui was radiant and stretched out his hand to explain Yingxuan one by one.

"Your Highness, follow your instructions."

"We divided the whole mine area by how easy it was."

"Then pave the road first, and choose the place with the most iron and stone."

"Dig the cracks and fill in the thunder."

"It's just a little more than a month, and the amount of iron and stone collected is more than several times that of the previous year!"

Ying Xuan's eyes lit up, this was the scene he wanted.

But then he wondered.

"Thunder?"

Lu Hui hurriedly explained.

"That's what you call smokeless gunpowder."

Ying Xuan sighed.

He seemed to have seen the scene of Da Qin's take-off.

With the help of gunpowder, iron tools would spread throughout the country in a very short time.

Whether it is farming or all walks of life, it will be updated and iterated rapidly.

Great Qin's productivity will be greatly expanded.

"Alas, the only pity is that the production is too small."

"Blow this piece up, and it's stalled this year."

"We can only wait for the cotton to grow next year."

Lu Hui's face was sad, as if this was the only problem that bothered them.

But Yingxuan still asked.

"Dead?"

Lu Hui's face froze.

Yingxiang also paused.

Behind, Zhao Kuangzhang, who had not spoken, raised his head.

"Dead!"

"When I was transporting it to the mountain the day before yesterday, it exploded without warning."

"Eight soldiers are dead!"

The scene fell silent instantly.

Zhao Kuangzhang bowed his head and said.

"This thing is powerful, but it's too unstable and dangerous."

Ying Xuan paused twice.

But he still said indifferently.

"Even so, you have to keep using it and keep trying."

"Including several other ways to use it."

Ying Xuan glanced at everyone present.

"This thing is now used to blow up mountains, but sooner or later it will appear on the battlefield."

"If Great Qin can't completely master it before then, those who use this kind of thing will be foreigners!"

Ying Xuan's words silenced both Ying Xiang and Lu Hui.

They know very well how terrible this thing can be, if it is used on the battlefield.

Human life will be just a number.

Ying Xuan did not explain further.

He couldn't tell these people because the ancestors of history used this tiger as a family pet.

Make fireworks with murderous weapons.

Only then did they miss the opportunity to dominate the world, and only then did those foreign races develop and become strong step by step, even enough to invade Huaxia.

Ying Xuan would never let Daqin have a trace of this possibility again.

Daqin can not be used, but it must be had!

And it is the strongest, the most terrifying, the most intimidating weapon of the enemy.

However, with the current technology, it will take several years to completely stabilize the gunpowder and make the gunpowder cannon.

Yingxuan only set a goal.

As long as you find the right direction, with the wisdom of the Huaxia people, it will be achieved sooner or later.

Now that the production of iron ore can be increased to this extent, it is already an epic strengthening of Great Qin.

Lujiang County no longer has to worry about the shortage of iron ore.

Steel armor weapons of all races will be produced in a steady stream.

The steel warship that Ying Xuan has been thinking about can also start to try.

……

On the southern border of the vast territory of Great Qin.

On the west side of Mount Noa, an army of 50,000 led by the Ganbo tribe has gathered.

At this moment, their hearts are extremely inflated.

Especially on the coastal flank, three large ships marched with it.

It has brought them full confidence.

They have sent a large number of forwards to the eastern side of Noaa Mountain to scout the port.

Indeed, no traces of large-scale troop activity have been found.

I was even more convinced of the news that Patriarch Ganbo had said.

But even so, the patriarch of Ganbo and the patriarch of Zhiti did not have the slightest carelessness.

They divided their army of 50,000 into two parts.

The striker consisted of 20,000 men and was relatively lightly equipped.

Except for a few rows of soldiers armed with javelin shields, the rest were mostly swords.

The rear of 30,000 included a large number of archers and spearmen.

It even contained thousands of cavalry.

However, these cavalrymen did not have saddles, and only a square cloth was on their horses.

Not to mention the stirrups that allow them to stabilize their spear wielding.

He also holds two javelins in his hand, one for long-range throws and one for melee combat.

Such a formation is an obvious tentative formation.

20,000 strikers maintained the last big mobility.

If the situation is not right, you can retreat as quickly as possible.

And the 30,000 reserve army is the real formation against the enemy.

This was advocated by the Patriarch of the Zhiti.

Even if the other party really has an ambush, they can easily deal with it.

And in order to ensure that the three large ships can support them to the greatest extent.

Nor did they choose the more open and secure northern valleys of their route.

Instead, it heads southeast along the narrow coastline of Mount Noa.

As the army continued to move forward, it gradually approached the vicinity of Daqin West Port.

Scouts are also coming and going more frequently.

The news that was detected was still guarded by only a few hundred people.

This made the patriarch of Ganbo have doubts for a while.

Could it be that Da Qin really has no spare strength at all, and he can't even make up for the dead?

At this moment, he even had a trace of remorse.

Are you suspicious? Great Qin didn't have the energy to defend this port.

The information you got was correct?

However, compared to him, the rest of the patriarchs were indeed inexplicably excited.

If you can capture more than a dozen large ships without loss.

I'm afraid that their combat power can be stronger by more than one grade.

The Zhiti patriarch narrowed his eyes even more.

Look at the 20,000 soldiers who are at the forefront.

Fortunately, he kept a mind and placed most of his army in it.

These 20,000 people seem to be the most dangerous, but they are the best location.

They ran the fastest, and when the time came, they grabbed a few ships.

What is divided by strength, if he can rob dozens of large ships.

Don't say anything about the Ganbo tribe, even if the tribes unite and never work together again?

The corners of his narrowed eyes glanced at the Patriarch of Ganbo.

At that time, it is impossible to say that he will be able to use this to completely control the coastal zone.

Even when facing Ashoka again, he can negotiate a thing or two.

The excitement of the Zhiti patriarch had begun to appear on his face, and it was difficult to hide.

Patriarch Ganbo also realized that something was wrong.

If Great Qin really has no troops to garrison.

Then this time is equivalent to giving the opportunity to rise to the most powerful Zhiti clan in vain.

Even the advantage of his original three large ships will disappear.

Once again, he became the little clan that didn't dare to resist at all.

Patriarch Ganbo was a little anxious for a while.

But the soldiers in front of them will not wait at all.

One by one, they came to the foot of the mountain.

Looking through the jungle towards the vast harbor in the distance.

But I saw that the huge ship port seemed to be deserted, and it was uninhabited.

Only occasionally can one or two patrol soldiers be seen.

This made them even more excited, and they all turned their heads and waited for the commander's order.

The Zhiti patriarch even had the impatience to order the charge.

But the patriarch of Ganbo did not speak.

At this moment, the Nazhiti patriarch suddenly discovered.

It turned out that the three large ships of the Ganbo tribe along the coast had begun to approach the port at a rapid pace.

He's stalling for time.

The Zhiti patriarch was immediately furious.

"Okay!"

"It was said that it was divided according to the output, but it turned out that I wanted to delay the time and let my subordinates arrive first!"

"The Ganbo are really well-intentioned!"

The rest of the tribes also noticed this scene and immediately became even more anxious.

The patriarch of Zhiti no longer obeyed, and shouted directly to his soldiers.

"The Zhiti people obey the order!"

"All raids, give me all the strength to snatch the big ship!"

Then he glanced at the patriarch with contempt.

"Three thousand cavalry obey orders."

"Charge as fast as you can, take control of the entrance to the ship's harbor!"

These words made the rest of the ethnic groups even more anxious.

Even the patriarch of Ganbo had a change in complexion.

He didn't expect that the Zhiti would make such a heavy bet, and even brought valuable cavalry.

But even if it is stopped at this moment, it is too late.

Three large ships have not yet been able to enter the harbor.

The cavalry had already accelerated from the flanks of the 20,000 infantry.

On the east side of the forest, the last few miles are flat riverbeds.

It's simply a cavalryman's paradise.

One by one, they galloped without scruples.

Someone in the distant harbor finally spotted the incoming army.

Heavy drums sounded.

Two hundred soldiers rushed out of the room in a panic.

Came to the wooden wall and watched this scene in alarm.

But they were only 200 men, and they couldn't do anything in the face of tens of thousands of troops.

Seeing this scene, the Zhiti patriarch was finally extremely convinced.

This Great Qin really doesn't have the strength to protect this port!

He couldn't contain his excitement.

"The rise of the Zhiti is just around the corner!"

"Soldiers, rush!"

Then he personally drew his sword and stepped forward.

Not far away, the patriarch of Ganbo stared closely at the three large ships that were already approaching.

They were already approaching the inside of the harbor.

When the ship docked, the soldiers were constantly pouring out, and nearly a thousand people rushed out in a short period of time.

This made the patriarch of Ganbo breathe a sigh of relief.

In this way, even if half of it is snatched away by the Zhiti people in the end, he can still account for a third.

Not less.

But at this moment.

The Zhiti patriarch also saw this scene.

Immediately, his face turned angry.

"The Ganbo people are so despicable!"

"No wonder your ship is so slow that so many people are hiding."

"The cavalry obeyed the order and attacked the harbor to stop the Ganbo clan first!"

The Patriarch of the Zhiti knew very well.

Seven thousand of the forwards were his soldiers.

As long as 20,000 strikers rush in together, then he can occupy at least a third.

Coupled with the superiority of the cavalry, it is also quite possible to occupy half.

But if he didn't stop the Ganbo tribe, he would only be able to grab the remaining third.

It didn't satisfy his appetite.

Besides, it would only take a thousand cavalry to stop them.

This behavior made the face of the patriarch change greatly.

If he is really blocked, he will really make wedding dresses for others.

But this is already all the soldiers of the Ganbo tribe.

The disparity in strength made him unable to think of any possibility of breaking the game.

At this moment, he even looked forward to the Qin army being ambushed.

They had to retreat.

In this way, relying on at least three large ships, they are still a strong clan along the coast.

It was seen that the 3,000 cavalry of Zhiti had rushed to the door.

The arrows on the wooden wall were still sparse.

Even if it was an ambush, it was impossible not to return fire at this distance.

The patriarch was momentarily annoyed.

"A small country has no spare strength to protect it."

"Why did you build this Palembang?"

"Spend national strength to harm others and yourself, if you don't perish, who will perish?"

But the voice just fell.

The gate of the West Harbor opened, and the arrows suddenly came.

A wall of crossbow soldiers began to press forward frantically.

The steel cables on the ground straightened instantly, and the cavalry forward fell to the ground with a bang.

The surging charge seemed to hit the mountain rock in an instant, and came to an abrupt end.

Such a hurried scene made everyone stunned in place.

But Zhang Han did not hesitate.

He stood again at the place where the last two hundred soldiers died.

His gaze swept over all the enemy armies gathered on Mount Noaa's side.

Coldly screamed.

"Strangled to the full!"

"Leave no mouth alive!"

"Avenge my Great Qin soldiers!"

The voice fell.

In the woods on the east side of Daqin West Port.

The earth-shattering sound of slaughter rushed up.

Tens of thousands of Cham soldiers went west like a tidal wave.

This scene made the face of the Zhiti patriarch change greatly.

He anxiously wanted the 30,000-strong army in the rear to go up.

Assist the 20,000 strikers who have been in a mess by snatching the charge.

But after a few changes just now, the rest of the people of all ethnic groups have long since stopped believing the of the Ganbo and Zhiti tribes.

Most of their soldiers were in the rear, and they were not in a hurry at all.

Even the patriarch of Ganbo breathed a sigh of relief at the moment.

Some teasingly looked at the leader of the support group.

"It seems that the hegemony of the Zhiti tribe is about to be miscalculated."

"I also took three thousand cavalry for nothing, are you distressed?"

"Hahaha!"

If the Zhiti people can't grab the big ship, they can't threaten the current Ganbo.

The patriarch can taunt as much as he wants.

But at this moment, the anxious Zhiti patriarch didn't have the heart to deal with it.

Desperate roar.

"Those 20,000 forwards, even if you think that Zhiti is the main thing, but you have a lot of soldiers!"

"Where did you watch them die in vain?"

The words of the patriarch of Zhiti finally reminded everyone.

The rest of the tribes also began to give orders, and the reserve army was stationed in place to receive the withdrawal of the forward army.

Fortunately, the woods where the Cham were located were not close to the east side of the port.

This gave the 20,000 strikers plenty of time to converge with the rear and regroup the army.

When 30,000 Cham soldiers rushed to the edge of the port.

The army of 50,000 of the tribes has been regrouped.

Form a normal line of defense led by large shields and spears.

Except for the three thousand cavalry at the gate, who were almost wiped out by a wave.

The strength of the tribes was not lost.

At this moment, it is also very advantageous to face 30,000 Cham people.

The tribal chief gritted his teeth.

He looked at the three thousand cavalrymen who died tragically, and his heart was dripping blood.

It was the most valuable class of his clan.

Now not even a single ship has been grabbed, and the losses are so great.

"There are only 30,000 people on the other side!"

"Afraid of what?"

"Directly swept them away, not only these ships are ours, but even this port is ours!"

The words of the Zhiti patriarch made everyone hesitate.

After the change in attitude of the two tribes just now, they all maintained a wait-and-see attitude.

Now not only do they have no gain, but they also have to fight a bloody battle with 30,000 people on the other side.

If he finally made a wedding dress for him, wouldn't he have lost his home?

Looking at everyone's hesitant expressions, the patriarch of Zhiti knew that it was because of his treachery just now.

Immediately annoyed, he pointed at the patriarch of the Ganbo clan and yelled.

"Can you blame me then?"

"That's his first injustice, I'm just following behind!"

But at this moment, the patriarch of Ganbo was not in a hurry at all.

He looked from afar at the tall warships covered with coarse cloth that were approaching from the inside of the harbor.

The corners of his mouth almost reached the sky.

Sure enough, everything was guessed by him, and he was the final winner!

As long as the Qin army has no time to turn back, how many ships can be taken away.

At this time, the Ganbo tribe became stronger and the Zhiti tribe became weaker.

The various ethnic groups are also united.

His own strategy is simply killing three birds with one stone.

The Patriarch of Zhiti also noticed this scene.

Suddenly I realized that all this was the layout of the Ganbo patriarch.

Immediately became even more angry.

The rest of the tribes also frowned.

The deep scheming of the patriarch is really unpleasant.

But they knew that they were being used, and they had no ability to stop it, so they were very aggrieved.

The leader of the Zhiti team also wanted to persuade the people to join forces to defeat the 30,000 defenders.

But what happened just now has created an insurmountable gap between them.

But no one answered.

Patriarch Ganbo couldn't help laughing again.

"The patriarch of Zhiti still doesn't have to waste his thoughts."

"Take a good look at how my Ganbo people snatched their warship in front of the Qin people!"

The tribal leader gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do about him.

I could only watch as the Ganbo people scattered and lifted the big ship moored on the shore.

Coarse cloth falls.

The massive hull below gradually revealed.

Patriarch Ganbo was in the moment of excitement, and his face suddenly froze.

I saw the rear of the majestic bow of the ship.

It was an empty half-cut body.

This is an unfinished warship.

The patriarch of Ganbo secretly scolded for bad luck.

Put hope on another ship not far away.

But after a few breaths.

Underneath the coarse cloth is the silhouette of a wooden shelf propping up.

Patriarch Ganbo finally seemed a little anxious.

Nearly 1,000 people also realized something and began to search separately.

But with the large cloth was torn off.

Dozens of ships, but not a single one is intact.

Many of them are just a shelf made of wood.

This scene is very different from the shocking scene of the last docking of 100 ships.

Patriarch Ganbo's eyes widened.

This time, it was the leader of the branch group who laughed.

Don't wait for the laughter to continue.

On the southern horizon, magnificent warships are connected.

Follow the raging waves and crash towards Mount Noa.

Patriarch Ganbo's face changed in horror.

Crazy roar, trying to get the people of the three big ships to evacuate.

But it's all too late.

There were as many as a hundred ships in that vast expanse.

It seems to be rushing from one direction, but in fact it has already besieged the southern end of Mount Noa, with the entire port.

The patriarch of Zhiti also looked at this shocking scene with a pale face.

Then, suddenly realizing something, he questioned the patriarch in horror.

"A country that can mobilize such ships and such armies."

"How can it be a small country as you say?"

Patriarch Ganbo also swallowed his saliva, and just as he wanted to say something, the leader of the branch group had already shouted.

"Withdraw!"

"Evacuate the whole army."

"Daqin is not a small country at all."

"The Ganbo have caused a big problem, he's pulling us into the water!"

The rest of the tribes also realized something.

"If that Great Qin is not powerless to protect this place, why should he pretend to be empty?"

When the patriarch of Zhiti heard this, he felt a wave of horror again.

"Not good!"

Before the words fell, the army was northwest.

They came on the road.

There was an earth-shattering roar.

The 60,000 elite Qin army blocked their last way like wild beasts.

(End of chapter)
