"But how did you become a general?"

"Hey, isn't this a talent that can't be hidden?" Chen Xingqi said, "As you know, I know more about firearms than others, and as soon as I arrived at the artillery corps, the officers and men inside all admired me and immediately recommended me to become a junior general of the artillery corps." ”

Meng Changqing laughed, "That's." ”

"How do you talk!" He made a gesture to shoot Meng Changqing, but was stopped by Laicai next to him, "Don't beat my young master." ”

Although Laicai is not as old as Chen Xingqi, he is taller than Chen Xingqi, and with his strong temper, Chen Xingqi never provokes him easily.

"Can't you guess the truth?" Chen Xingqi was a little embarrassed, "My father used some connections. ”

"Your father only wants you to study firearms in the artillery corps, I didn't think you would go to the battlefield, right?"

"What I changed myself, of course, I have to see with my own eyes how powerful it is."

"You have worked hard all the way from Weishan Pass, go to the stove room to eat something, and go back after a little rest."

"No, I'll have to watch it explode."

"You don't want to die? The Yan army is attacking the city, can he be hundreds or thousands of people? Before Meng Changqing finished speaking, he heard Xiao Dai call him behind, "Lord Meng, the soldiers of the Hongjia Battalion and the Weishan Battalion have passed the old site of the city wall. ”

"Look, the soldiers of our Daliang are also here, isn't the Yan army a cavalry?" Chen Xingqi said, "When the earth-shaking thunder bombs their cavalry, what advantage do they have?" ”

Meng Changqing didn't bother to pay attention to him, she might not be able to live, Chen Xingqi wanted to be sent to death, she didn't need to stop him many times.

The sky was completely bright, and there were fewer and fewer Jiemaru savages coming.

This is not a good thing, it is said that the Dashu Pass is lost, and the number of Jiemaru savages who come in will only increase.

When things go wrong, there must be demons.

Meng Changqing's breakfast was a cake eaten by the cold wind, Chen Xingqi had already fallen asleep waiting in the corner of the city wall, their artillery army transported earth-shaking thunder overnight, and the whole process was highly stressed, and now he suddenly relaxed, naturally feeling tired.

A prince in the capital, for the sake of hobbies, did not hesitate to come to the border to endure hardships, Meng Changqing admired this kind of person very much, so she kicked Chen Xingqi over.

Chen Xingqi woke up, "What's wrong, what's wrong?" ”

"Don't look at what kind of place this is, sleep here, I think you've lived enough." Meng Changqing said, "You go down to rest, and when the Yan army comes, I will send someone to call you." ”

"Say it earlier." Chen Xingqi stood up, "I'm leaving, remember ......"

"Report!" In the distance, the three spies released by Meng Changqing galloped back.

After the spies entered the city gate, they quickly dismounted and ran in front of Meng Changqing, "Twenty-five miles away, the Yan army is lined up neatly, and it is coming this way, and the number should be as many as 20,000. ”

"How many cavalry are there?" Meng Changqing asked.

"To say the least, there are eight or nine thousand."

Meng Changqing clenched the sword at his waist, "Change, probe again." Wait, Daliang's horse can't outrun the Yan army, so you don't have to get close and only explore the distance. ”

"Yes!"

After the three of them went down, Meng Changqing immediately asked the two battalions of soldiers to go out of the city and line up.

Chen Xingqi didn't leave when he saw this, twenty-five miles was for the cavalry of the Yan army, it would be there in a while, and what he wanted to see would soon be able to see.

The vast majority of the forces were placed in the gaps, and the archers took the high ground on the ramparts.

The spies came back faster and faster, from twenty miles, to ten miles, and then to the Yan army in front of Meng Changqing's eyes.

On Meng Changqing's side, there were nearly 30,000 soldiers in the two battalions, but there were only 5,000 cavalry.

Although there are more people than the other party, there is no absolute chance of winning.

When the people who built the city wall saw this battle, where did they still have the heart to work, they all wanted to lose what they were in their hands and run away, but they had no choice but to watch by the side.

"What are you anxious about? There are so many soldiers outside, even if the Yan army fights, it won't be able to hit you, hurry up and work, now if you want to live, the only way out is to build the city wall quickly. ”

The leader of the Yan army stepped forward, didn't know what to say, and then began to attack.

Chen Xingqi clasped the city wall with his hand, stretched out his head to look out, and Laicai immediately pulled him back.

On Meng Changqing's side, the archers started shooting first.

"It's coming, it's coming!" Chen Xingqi stared at the distance between them, just waiting for the Yan army's soldiers and horses to step on the earth-shattering thunder he had buried.

"What's going on?" He remembered all the positions clearly, but there was a thunder that didn't react when he stepped on it.

Without waiting for him to ask, other earth-shattering thunderbolts began to detonate, and the Yan cavalry instantly panicked and was killed and wounded.

But in the end, it was a few thousand cavalry, and forty earth-shattering thunderbolts could not kill all of them.

Besides, the people in front were bombed, and the people behind naturally stopped.

The person who took the lead stepped forward and didn't know what Ji Li Wa La said, Meng Changqing didn't understand it anyway, he only knew that they didn't plan to attack for the time being.

The Yan army retreated five miles and set up camp.

"Before our soldiers could make a move, they retreated?" The general of the Hongjia battalion said, "It's impossible, it's not that this Yan army hasn't seen the earth-shattering thunder, so it's just a few explosions, so it won't scare them like this, right?" ”

"I don't think Yan Jun is holding back his fart, I'm afraid that there will be a bad move waiting for us in the back."

"No, no, no." At this moment, Chen Xingqi was more panicked than anyone on the city wall, and the explosion rate was much lower than he estimated.

He pulled Meng Changqing and told her about it.

Meng Changqing only said: "No matter how high the explosion rate is, Yan Jun may have found a way to crack it, you hurry up!" ”

"What are you going to do?" Chen Xingqi asked, "Come with me?" ”

"If you are long-winded, I will ask someone to tie you up and go back to the capital."

Sure enough, a day later, the Yan army reappeared, and a large number of civilians appeared in front of them.

Looking at the appearance of those people, it doesn't seem to be like Yan people, but more like Daliang people.

"It's a native of Dazhou!"

"Damn! These brutes! "The left big head is so angry that he jumps on his feet.

The Yan army detonated all the earth-shaking thunders with the Dazhou people, and the cavalry did not suffer any damage, so the soldiers of the two battalions, although they tried their best to block, still had a gap.

Seeing that the Yan army was about to be slaughtered.

Meng Changqing took off his padded jacket and rode to the people.

"Everyone! The Yan army has arrived at the moment, the power of the earth-shaking thunder is insufficient, the gap in the city wall is too large, and the soldiers cannot be defended in place, so it is inevitable that the Yan army will break through the defense and come to us.

I know that you are scared and don't want to die here, but I will tell you a truth today, pick up the tools in your hands and face the enemy head-on to have a chance of survival.

You are both men, are you not as good as the men of Yan Kingdom, do you dare to run with your tail between your legs when you see them?

If you run out of Beishan County today, where should you run tomorrow?

You are afraid of them, and you give up your land today and your houses tomorrow, and what will happen the day after tomorrow? Do you even give up your wife and children? ”

"My boys!" Meng Changqing pulled out his sword and shouted: "Bloody, take a hoe and nail rake, and guard the pass with me!" ”
