Annam, Thang Long City, Royal Palace.

After the rescue, some remote halls were finally rescued, and were used as temporary palaces by the new king to entertain distinguished guests.

Fan Lin was sitting with the patriarchs of the major families in Annan.

According to the rules, he, a mere Fan family concubine, is not qualified to sit with these noble figures at all, but who let him succeed in speculation!

He was keenly aware of the strong resentment of the common people, and led the people to rise up first, and fortunately, not only did he not pioneer for the king, but also broke through Thang Long City in one fell swoop, drove out the former emperor Li Gande, and ascended the throne in his own house.

Frankly speaking, this Li Qiande is actually not a faint king.

At the beginning of Li Qiande's accession to the throne, he had waged war against the Song Dynasty, and occupied Yongzhou and Lianzhou, and gained a lot, although he was later defeated by the Song army Guo Kui, but relying on the geographical advantages of Annam, in fact, there was not much loss, and the advantages outweighed the disadvantages on the whole.

If Li Gande was still young, then there would be no chance for Fan Lin to come out, and I am afraid that he would have been killed by Li Gande and his army.

But the years are a pig-killing knife, and Li Qiande is old after all, giving others the opportunity to challenge the wolf king.

Of course, the sheer number of angry people is also an important determining factor.

But no matter what the reason, Fan Lin won and became the new king of Annan, and others had to pinch their noses to admit it!

He became the emperor because he was recognized by the people at the bottom, but he became the emperor before he was recognized by these big families.

These big families relied on their own strong power, so they organized a group to come over to negotiate conditions.

Fan Lin didn't want to start a huge civil war in the country, but the outcome was unpredictable, so she could only sit down and talk to these people.

Both sides are bogeyed and don't want to fight, so it's easy to reach a consensus on the general direction.

But in the same way, in order to seek more benefits, they argued endlessly on the specific details and quarreled non-stop, but no matter how fierce the quarrel was, no one lifted the table and quit.

After compromising with each other again and again, the agreed terms gradually increased, and the final agreement was soon reached.

"Hehe, the king understands the righteousness and takes into account the overall situation, which is really a blessing for all the people!" After taking advantage of another clause, the patriarch of the Ruan clan stroked his beard and complimented happily.

The negotiation opponent was happy, Fan Lin naturally couldn't be happy, he snorted coldly, and said unhappily:

"If it weren't for the fact that I urgently needed food to calm the people's emotions and prevent the chaos from spreading further, how could you have taken such an advantage?"

The patriarch of the Ruan clan said with a smile:

"Where did the king come from?"

"The king borrowed a knife to kill people and took all the land and wealth of the Han people for himself, isn't this harvest much better than that of our small clan?"

Fan Lin was proud in her heart, but she said:

"Those things belong to the treasury, but they have little to do with me."

"Moreover, I have to take the risk of being attacked by the troops sent by the Song Kingdom, and I can't pick peaches directly from all ethnic groups!"

When the patriarchs of the various clans heard this, they laughed and said happily:

"The habits of the Han people, we know best."

"It has always been only the native people of the Central Plains that the Han people regard them as their own people, so how can anyone care about the life and death of the Han people overseas?"

"When you can use it, you will be overseas compatriots, and when you don't need it, you will be a stamin pirate."

"This practice is not once or twice, not every year or two, but it has been the case since ancient times, and it is expected that it will not change in a thousand years."

"It's ridiculous that the overseas people still don't know it, but they still miss their homeland, and they always want to return home when they make money."

While everyone was laughing at themselves, they suddenly heard the faint sound of thunder coming from the sky outside the upper hall, and its momentum instantly changed from small to large, like the heavens being angry, which made people shudder.

Everyone was stunned, only to hear a loud "boom", and one hundred and ten huge stone bullets like human heads seemed to fall from the sky, instantly penetrating the solid outer wall of the palace hall, and smashing into the blue brick ground in the palace with a thunderous force.

At that moment, the entire hall was forcibly torn apart by this irresistible force.

The bricks and stones shattered and flew, scattering out like countless sharp arrows, and their strength was worse than that of a strong bow and crossbow, and I don't know how many people were splintered with fragments, and blood was splashed on the spot, and they fell to the ground, screaming again and again.

The stone bullet did not stop after it landed, but rebounded with a powerful impact, and rampage through the devastated hall, rolling forward aimlessly.

Everywhere the stone bullets passed, whether it was the ornate palace ornaments or the noble guards in the palace, they were all ruthlessly crushed, leaving a terrifying path of flesh, rubble and wails.

In the face of this sudden bombardment, the patriarchs of the various families who were originally high and slow had nowhere to hide, so they could only let the cannonballs stir them into pulp, and the newly repaired palace turned into a human purgatory again in an instant, filled with a strong smell of death.

The Annan people had never heard of this kind of attack from the sky, and they were all stunned at once, and they didn't know how to deal with it at all.

As soon as the surrounding guards reacted and rushed towards this side, wanting to come forward to save people, the second round of shelling arrived.

With Jin Dajian here, of course, this telescope will not be difficult for him, and this kind of strategic equipment has long been popularized in the navy.

With the telescope's ultra-long line of sight, the second round of shelling was more accurate than the school shelling just now, and more stone shells fell into this crowded place.

When the stone bullet landed in the crowd, it set off a huge wave of air, swept the person into the air, and then fell hard, life and death uncertain.

The masonry rained down, tearing through the fragile flesh mercilessly, leaving a bloody body lying on the ground.

The palace hall, which was already dilapidated, was even more miserable after this round of shelling.

The walls crumbled and collapsed, and the ornate ornaments turned to powder, rolling down the blood-soaked ground along with the rubble.

The bouncing stone projectiles were like out-of-control beasts, rampaging through the crowd, mourning everywhere they passed, and the severed limbs and wreckage were scattered everywhere, and no one could escape the brutal slaughter that fell from the sky.

Their bodies were torn apart by the relentless crushing of stone bullets, blood mixed with dirt to form blood-colored paths that twisted and turned.

The air was filled with a heavy smell of blood, mixed with desperate cries and dying gasps, and the huge crashing sound was endless, echoing over the entire city, like thunder rolling and heavenly punishment descending, making people feel terrified.

The guards who rushed over didn't even have the courage to flee at this moment, and they fell to their knees one after another, praying to the gods and Buddhas of the heavens, asking the gods and Buddhas to take a break from the wrath of the thunder and forgive them, the ignorant and foolish people of the lower realm.

The sound of the cannon finally stopped, and a figure descended from the sky on a cloud, suspended over the palace, and burst into a shout:

"A certain is a heavenly killer star Li Ghost is also!"

"If you dare to kill my Liangshan people and expel my Liangshan merchants, you are an unforgivable crime!"

"Today, my Liangshan army is here, and I want to seek justice for my people who died in vain!"

He stretched out his hand and pointed at Fan Lin, who had broken a leg and fell in a pool of blood on the ground, and shouted angrily:

"You're the faint king who ordered me to kill Hanmin?"

Fan Lin was so excited that she couldn't care about her broken leg, so she hurriedly struggled to her knees and shirked her responsibility:

"God's grace!"

"The villain originally just wanted to beg for food for the hungry people, and he had no intention of provoking the Han people!"

"It's just that this grain is in the hands of all the big families, and if the villain doesn't make this will, they won't give us food!"

"For the sake of the millions of people in Annam......"

Before he finished speaking, the living patriarchs were anxious, hurriedly interrupted him, and hurriedly complained:

"Immortals, don't listen to this lie!"

"It is clear that he wants the gold, silver, fields and grain in the hands of the Han people, so he ordered the whole people to encircle and suppress the Han people!"

"This has nothing to do with our families!"

Seeing that the two sides were arguing, they were about to fight, and Ghost Li broke out.

"Shut up!"

"It doesn't matter who you are!"

"Within ten days, I will kill all the criminals who have the blood of the Han people on their hands, and pile up the heads outside the gates of each city, otherwise my heavenly soldiers will be angry, and the country will be set to powder!"

"Don't try to use some scapegoats to perfunctory blame, otherwise someone will let you know what it means to be powerful!"

After Ghost Li finished explaining, he turned around and left, leaving everyone looking at each other, not knowing whether they should follow the rules.

The patriarchs of each family never need to do things, and naturally there is no blood of the Han people in their hands, so if they can escape like this, of course they are willing.

However, in order to seize the property of the Han people, there are many young children in each family, who personally go out to rob and kill people, and I am afraid that they are all among the mortals.

Moreover, most of the guards in this palace were from the chaotic people of that day, and I am afraid that many of them have the lives of Han people in their hands.

After a moment of silence at the scene, it was finally Fan Lin who was ruthless enough, he slapped the ground heavily and roared:

"I, a descendant of Annan, how can I be threatened by this bandit and grass cowards and do something to my own children?"

"In my opinion, this Li ghost must not be a god, and he must be a strange person."

"I see that he has never landed, and he is afraid of siege, as long as he gathers a large army to attack, he will definitely be killed!"

"As for those stone bombs just now, they should have been done with a powerful trebuchet, as long as you find the location of the trebuchet, you can send a large army to attack and burn them, and you don't have to be afraid!"

"Today, we are just being attacked by someone, not a crime of war, if we fight head-on, it is the return of the Great Song Dynasty, and we are not afraid!"

"Spread my military order, mobilize all the soldiers from all over the world, prepare weapons, armor, strong bows and crossbows, assemble in Shenglong City within seven days, and fight with this Liangshan Li Ghost!"

After hearing this, everyone immediately lifted their spirits, nodded their heads in agreement, and their eyes immediately regained their vitality, and they began to rush to rescue the wounded.

That night, several decrees were issued from the palace, and they were passed on to the fast horses in various places, and began to mobilize troops and horses to assemble.

But not all of the people in the chaos had the courage to continue to face the enemy army directly.

In particular, most of the people rebelled just to eat for a living, and later did not participate, or did not have time to massacre the Han people, and did not get any benefits, and after seeing the horrors of artillery and war, they were even more reluctant to participate in the war.

As a result, signs of flight began to appear in the Annam army, and a large number of rebel soldiers began to flee to other cities with dry rations.

In the end, after the news spread, most of the riotous soldiers who came from all over the country were people who had Han blood on their hands and could not be washed away no matter what.

Only these people are worried that they will be liquidated, and they will fight hard no matter what, and kill this so-called "Heavenly Killing Star" to prevent future troubles.

And this is also the intention of Ghost Li to give them ten days.

If he is allowed to investigate slowly, it will be too troublesome, and it will be impossible to distinguish who is the murderer and who is wronged.

Unless we kill everyone in one go, most of them will slip through the cracks.

But now let them take the initiative to jump out to resist the Liangshan army, then the killing will be neat and neat, and they will be killed directly.

There may still be a remnant of the sin that has been missed, and it can only be counted as their luck.

Ten days later, Na Fan Lin gathered tens of thousands of troops, fully armed, and killed them in the direction of the dock.

In the past few days, they have already inquired clearly, and the stone attack that day was completely sent from the big sea ship on the edge of this dock, and Li Gui himself lived on this ship.

The flow of people rushed towards the big ship like a tide, and at the forefront were more than a thousand cavalry patchwork out, one in front of the other, in front of the other, in a sharp arrow formation.

In the distance, a few miles away, the guns began to fire.

As if the scene of the royal palace was recreated that day, the round stone projectiles fell like meteors, and fell towards the dense crowd on the ground.

Unlike the attack in the palace that day, everyone at this moment clearly saw that it flew up from the ship like a bird, and smashed into the head like a meteorite.

Fortunately, Fan Lin and the others had given them preventive shots in advance before the war, otherwise people with poor psychological endurance would almost collapse on the spot.

The crowd on the ground was dense, and after the dozens of stone bullets landed, almost none of them missed, and a flesh alley came out of the crowd.

But among the tens of thousands of troops, the hundreds of dead and wounded had no effect at all, and they didn't even splash a splash.

The greater impact was the loud roar, as well as the sand and debris and fan-shaped shock waves from the stone projectiles falling to the ground, although the damage was not necessarily fatal, but it affected the largest number of people.

"Don't stop!"

"Keep on rushing forward!"

"Rush to the front of the ship and we'll win!"

Fan Lin and the patriarchs of the major families didn't care about their identities at the moment, and they all came to the front line in person, cheering for everyone one by one.

Because the formation was very wide, the cavalry ranks in front were thin, so there were not many losses.

The rest of the cavalry didn't care about the fallen comrades around them, but just spurred their horses hard and moved forward desperately.

The distance between the cavalry and the infantry was quickly widened, and when the cavalry stepped into the middle distance, a second round of artillery bombardment was ready.

But instead of targeting the fast cavalry, this second round of shelling continued to target the slow, densely manned infantry and began to attack.

This phenomenon was quickly discovered by Fan Lin and the others, who also shouted in unison while urging the infantry to continue to move forward.

"The cavalry has passed!"

"The cavalry has passed!"

"Let's go ahead and meet the cavalry!"

Of course, the soldiers in front of them also noticed this, and their morale was immediately boosted and the cheers thundered, but before they could be happy, when the cavalry stepped into close proximity to the ship, a row of small cannons on the deck came out again, revealing the black muzzles of the guns at them.

The fire flashed, the cannon roared, and countless pieces of rubble burst out of the muzzle of the small cannon, covering the cavalry not far away.

This is Ling Zhen's sub-mother cannon, which specializes in firing scattered bullets, but the shooting distance is relatively close and cannot reach far, so it has always been rarely used, and it is generally assembled on the city wall.

However, in a battle at sea, there is often a sea area between the two ships, and you have to jump to get over, and this kind of close-range shotgun is more effective, so there are a lot of spare parts on board.

Seeing that they were about to approach the ships, the cavalry was bombarded by the shotgun, and immediately they were overturned on their backs, and they were killed and wounded.

The rest of the people were ready to shoot at this time, so they could only continue to move forward, but when they were about to step on the dock, they suddenly saw a person on the boat stepping on the hot wheels out of the side, carrying wind and thunder, and in an instant they arrived in front of the cavalry team, and with a wave of their hands, several fire dragons flew out, and all the cavalry were set on fire.

Immediately, the horses scorched by the flames wailed, and the men rose to their feet, threw the knight off their horses, and ran wildly on all fours, trying to extinguish the flames from their bodies.

The knights who had fallen from their horses did not wait to get up, and their backs were struck by the horses' hooves, and they fell to the ground, and then they were trampled on by another horse.

After a period of confusion of people neighing on their horses, the flames on those war horses were taken back by Li Ghost, and the flames on those fallen knights were trampled out by the chaotic horses.

But even if the flames were extinguished, the knights could not get up, and anyone who was trampled by hundreds of frightened horses was covered in mud.

At this time, the infantry in the rear was also about to arrive, and when they saw the bloody Annan soldiers, not only did they not fear, but they were stimulated by the savage ferocity in their blood, and they became more and more manic.

Even after being bombarded by three rounds of heavy artillery and one round of shotgun bombardment, as well as more than 10,000 soldiers who were killed, seriously wounded, disabled, left behind, and fled, the Annan army still had tens of thousands of soldiers, overwhelming and densely pouring here.

However, the horn sounded, and dozens of huge sea ships slowly retreated, leaving the coastline and slowly heading towards the deep sea.

Before leaving, the ship fired another volley of shotguns, causing the thousands of soldiers at the front of the enemy array to fall like mowing grass.

Ghost Li did not get on the boat, but urged the hot wheels to rampage through the endless crowd.

In his left hand, he had an eight-foot Qiong Hook Jade, constantly launching fire dragons and wind blades, and in his right hand, he was constantly releasing various plague viruses.

When he rushed out of this dense army, he looked back and saw that one side of the fire was rising behind him, and the other side was full of corpses.

As long as the luck is enough, these two artifacts are really killing weapons!

If the artillery attack could still hold them up, then Ghost Li's attack made them completely collapse.

This is too simple!

And it's not something that humans can do at all, it's clearly ghosts and gods!

The remaining dead remnants did not dare to continue fighting, so they shouted, turned around and ran.

"Heh, since you're here, don't be in a hurry to leave!"

Li Ghost sneered, urged the Hot Wheels, where the crowd was dense, he rushed wherever he went, and when he got close, he killed him.

He was far faster than the foot soldiers, and after dozens of repeated sprints, the rest of the guys were left with scattered teams.

At this time, everyone had already run away, and it would be more troublesome to chase after them, and Ghost Li also intended to let them pass on today's battle situation, so he stopped and turned around and returned to the boat.

"Set sail to the next country!"

Not to mention how those guys who escaped by luck added fuel and vinegar after they went back, and how many magical and exaggerated stories were added to the name of the Heavenly Killer Star Li Ghost, just that Li Ghost led people to run around the surrounding countries along the coastline one by one.

The methods are similar to those on the side of Annan, first intimidating by force, issuing an ultimatum, luring the enemy to attack, and finally annihilating the enemy.

It's simple, but it works.

But it didn't take long for the surrounding countries to receive the news, and without waiting for Liang Shan and others to arrive, they attacked first, killed those murderers who were stained with the blood of the Han people, and their heads were piled on the dock and discharged for miles in a row.

At this time, Li Gui sent someone to send the little prince of the king of Annam back to the kingdom of Annam, enthroned him as emperor, and crowned him personally.

The troops were stationed here, rotated regularly, and the military expenses were shared by all countries, and the door to the merchants of Yangshan was wide open, allowing the merchants of Liangshan to buy and sell freely in various countries, and to assist in the purchase of grain.

After achieving this series of goals, Li Guicai led part of the navy to return to the division in triumph.
