Chapter 57: The Artillery Corps Arrives

"Good! Everybody listens to you! ”

"My woman is still in the east, so I have to find a way to send a letter to it." The man sat in the corner and sighed, "I just thought I could eat a few full meals before letting her come, who knew that such a thing would happen." ”

"Yes."

This night, no one can sleep peacefully.

Wait until the gong rings outside, and the guards let them go out and line up to eat.

By the way, the guards conveyed the notice above, "The artillery army of Weishan Pass is coming over soon, and the things in their hands will kill if they are not careful, if you don't want to die, you should go far away when you see the artillery army."

From now on, no one can leave the group at will, and the city walls must be built before the Yan army comes, and you have to contribute more than before.

Did You Know? ”

The guards took them to eat and go to work, at this time it was still dark, and torches were lit everywhere, and Zeng Laosan, who was in the middle of the line, suddenly heard the sound of wheels in the distance.

It's just that he couldn't tell where the voice came from, he pulled the person in front of him, "Big brother, did you hear the movement?" ”

"It's wheels, and there are a lot of cars."

"Is it the soldiers from Hongjia County who are here?"

"Not really." Boss Zeng lowered his voice, "If it's Daliang's army, why don't you light torches?" ”

As soon as he finished saying this, he heard a voice shouting in the distance: "The Weishanguan artillery army has arrived, and the fire torches are extinguished in front." ”

Immediately someone on this side of the camp ran and extinguished all the torches and fires in the direction of the artillery corps.

Zeng Laosan saw that all the torches three miles away from them were extinguished.

"Master Meng!" Zuo Datou ran a few steps quickly to stop Meng Changqing, "Your Excellency, don't get any closer, forty sky-shattering thunderbolts have been safely picked up, this is General Chen Xiao of the artillery army." ”

"Lord Meng." A young general came out behind the big head on the left, this person's voice was young, and his tone was slightly proud, "I wonder if Master Meng still remembers?" ”

At this moment, it was the darkest time before dawn, there was no lighting equipment around, and Meng Changqing could only see the approximate size of the other party.

But hearing him say that, he obviously knew her.

The artillery army, Chen, who is not a few years older than her, and has dealt with her, is only: "Chen Xingqi!" ”

"Haha! You're amazing, you can recognize me just by hearing the voice. ”

The son of Chen Shilang of the Ministry of Industry, Chen Xingqi.

When this person was in Beijing, he was very interested in firearms research, and the reason why Meng Changqing was able to see the earth-shaking thunder test explosion was pulled by him.

He originally wanted to scare Meng Changqing with the power of earth-shaking thunder, so as to threaten her not to slap the prince again, but Meng Changqing's eyes lit up after reading it, and at that moment, Chen Xingqi knew that this person must be his confidant.

"Why are you here? When did you enter the artillery corps? How could your mother give up? Meng Changqing asked three times in a row, and Chen Xingqi, who asked, couldn't help but retreat, "Oh, why are you as verbose as a woman."

Is the enemy a time to chatter now? Tell me where you're going to bury the Megatron Thunder? ”

"On the bank of the river, it has been marked, but I am afraid that it will not be clear when it is dark now." Meng Changqing turned around and shouted, "Captain Yang! Please take them to recognize the mark. ”

"Yes!"

Chen Xingqi clenched his fist at Yang Zheng, "Captain Yang leads the way, don't worry, you just need to tell me the location, and I will let the escort convoy lag behind by some distance." ”

"It doesn't matter." Yang Zheng took Chen Xingqi and said as he walked, "Now the battle situation is critical, no one knows when the Yan army will come, bury the earth-shaking thunder a moment earlier, it will be more reassuring, if General Chen Xiao does not have enough manpower, just order." ”

"No, we have enough manpower, you haven't been trained, I'm afraid you'll help more and more."

"Brother Zuo has worked hard all the way." Meng Changqing said to Zuo Datou: "Go back and rest." ”

"Yes."

Zuo Datou has been fighting for many years and knows that he should seize every opportunity to conserve his strength in wartime.

"Octagon." Meng Changqing turned his head, "Let's go up to the city wall." ”

In less than half an hour, Yang Zheng came back, "Lord Hui, the artillery army has begun to bury the thunder of the earth, and the subordinates asked General Chen Xiao, they need an hour." ”

"Got it."

After another half an hour, the sky gradually brightened, and Meng Changqing stood on the city wall and saw a group of artillery soldiers carefully leaving the minefield.

"Tell all the soldiers and people below that you must not approach that place."

"Yes."

"This is a good thing we have prepared for the Yan army, and we can't tell the Jie Maru Savage to move first. Two captains, you'll have to find a way to stop the Shotimaru Savages from entering that area. ”

"Tree, the government has brought the earth-shaking thunder over, will we run away later?"

Boss Zeng was about to answer him, when he heard the guard shout: "Everyone, listen, the earth-shaking thunder has been buried, it is against the cavalry of the Yan army, and anyone who steps on it will have no bones left." Don't run around from now on. ”

The villagers sighed in despair: "Oh my God, we can only wait for death? ”

"Big brother, what is the earth-shattering thunder?" Zeng Laosan happened to come back with an empty basket.

Boss Zeng told him, "It is a very powerful weapon, and when it explodes, it is as loud as thunder, and even the ground will shake, and the people standing around it don't want to live." ”

"There's such a thing!" Zeng Laosan was surprised, "Then what are we afraid of, Yan Jun will definitely not be able to come." ”

"Hey, it's as good as you say." The villagers said, "That thing is not a friend or foe, and if you are not careful, it will be our people who die." ”

"Since it's something we put here, we must know where it is in advance, how can we step on it wrong?"

"Hey, Xiaohe, you're such a child, it's too simple."

Zeng Laosan was not convinced, "It's not as simple as I thought, it's that your brains can't turn around." ”

"What are the three of them doing over there!" The guard watched them stand together for a long time, and then rushed over with a whip, "Not working yet." ”

Zeng Laosan picked up the basket and left, this time he ran fast, and the whip failed to fall on him.

Meng Changqing turned his head and looked at the person who climbed up the slope, "General Chen, can the earth-shattering thunder be properly placed?" ”

"You can rest assured that I will do something." Chen Xingqi looked down from the city wall, and under the city wall, the soldiers killed a group of Jiemaru savages and were collecting their troops to return to the city.

Seeing the corpse separated from the head and body not far away, Chen Xingqi quickly looked away, "Meng Changqing, aren't you afraid?" ”

"Afraid of what?" Meng Changqing said, "I don't think you're afraid, if you're afraid, you won't be here." ”

Chen Xingqi laughed embarrassedly, "That's right, I'm not scared at all." ”

Meng Changqing asked: "I haven't heard the news of your departure from Beijing, when did you go to Weishan Pass?" ”

"I'll be here after the New Year." Chen Xingqi said, "Thanks to you, I can talk about my father." ”

"What?"

"I told my father that His Majesty must have great hopes for you when he sent you to Liangzhou, and I will come to follow you, and if you have any merits at that time, I will be able to touch your light.

You also know that I can't even memorize the Analects, I am destined to not be able to take the road of scientific research in this life, and my father and brother's merits are not as good as your family. ”
