In Aya City, the three elders and the great general had gloomy faces, and it was only at this time that they had the opportunity to carefully recall the entire process of this great battle!

"What kind of weapon is that, which can knock a stone out of three hundred meters, and the impact force is more than ten times greater than that of a machine crossbow?" The general's voice was hoarse, and his eyes were red, the losses of the Tongyu Kingdom in this battle were too great. Now he was still in shock, and his body trembled slightly when he remembered the tragic scene of the past two days.

"I don't know what kind of weapon it is, but I'm sure it must be Jiang Xingchen...... It turns out that Wei Ning and the others have been holding on to it, just waiting for the weapon he has developed!"

The third elder's face was pale, thinking that he was pretending to be a detour before, and judging that others were attacking the flank, he felt like a joke, his face was lost, and he didn't know how he would be attacked by other elders when he went back.

"And what do we do now?" the general asked, a little worried.

"Their weapons are suitable for field warfare, they can't attack the city, Aya City will not be in danger....... now, we have to quickly pass the news to the sect master!"

The third elder was very helpless, a big victory turned into a fiasco, and of course he didn't want people to know about it in his heart. But this news must be transmitted back and countermeasures must be come up with immediately, otherwise the Qiankun Empire will have more such weapons, and Xuanyuan Tianzong will suffer a big loss.

The hurried footsteps of the "Pedal ......" interrupted the two of them, and their subordinates came to report: "Two trebuchets have arrived!"

The three elders and the general glanced at each other, their expressions were like drinking arsenic, and their eyes were full of bitterness......

When they were depressed and miserable here, there was jubilation in the military headquarters of the imperial capital of the Qiankun Empire.

The Battle of the Sixth Legion is the focus. The military department was always paying attention, and a day earlier, they had already received the news. Jiang Xingchen rushed to the Sixth Army and used the newly designed 100 ballistas to bombard Xuanyuan Tianzong's 200 chariots and kill and wound a large number of opposing generals. The Praetorian Guard and the Sixth Legion then attacked, killing the opposing side to the ground.

The message is written in great detail, the power of the ballista, the scene at that time. range, all very clearly.

The marshal was shocked at first, then ecstatic. A big crisis was resolved in an instant, and he couldn't control his emotions, and slapped the table into pieces.

The pressure on him these days is just too much. The opponent's chariot machine crossbow is almost unmatched. Once the Sixth Army garrison is bypassed, the damage caused will be catastrophic. Now, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Then the whole army department went crazy, and a group of sub-officers, both young and old, all screamed and cheered, and the tables crackled. They were all like marshals, and they had been under tremendous pressure for days. Now it's finally time to vent.

There was no suspense in this battle, and all they had to do now was to wait for the news of the Sixth Legion's victory.

When they saw the power of the ballista, everyone was shocked, and everyone felt their skin tightened and their hearts were afraid! With a range of 300 meters, the iron-clad chariot was broken, and the scalp felt numb just thinking about it.

"Such a weapon can be designed, Jiang Xingchen...... What the hell has changed?" was so scary that even several officers thought that Jiang Xingchen was not human.

"If such a weapon is equipped with all the major legions, then ......" Immediately a group of military bigwigs made wishful thinking.

The next day, news from Wei Ning finally arrived. When the officer in charge of communications ran into the council hall shouting "Great victory of the Sixth Legion" like crazy, all the officers burst into cheers again.

"The Sixth Legion and the Praetorian Guard annihilated more than 30,000 enemies and drove them back to Aya City...... Jiang Xingchen, sure enough, it still depends on Jiang Xingchen!" After calming down a little, the marshal muttered, not knowing whether he was happy or lost. Although the battle was won, the imperial army fought and relied on Jiang Xingchen for everything, and it seemed that without him, it would not be possible to win the battle, which made the marshal feel a little embarrassed.

Exhaling slowly, the marshal got up, greeted his subordinates below who were still talking happily and loudly, and headed straight for the palace.

And at this time in the palace, Emperor Qiankun also received news from the Praetorian Guard, and with his city, he couldn't control his emotions, and Ha Lu Ha Da laughed.

"Ballista, ballista, good name, good weapon...... I said why Jiang Xingchen kept saying that it would take time, it turned out to be designing a new weapon...... It can blast through the ironclad chariot within 300 meters, so powerful......"

The thought of the power of the ballista described in the war report made even him feel terrified.

At this time, the marshal arrived, entered the palace hall, and saw the emperor's expression at a glance, and the marshal knew that the emperor had learned about the battle situation of the Sixth Legion.

"Marshal, you came just in time, I was just about to send someone to find you!" the Emperor smiled and beckoned the marshal to sit down beside him.

"Emperor, you have already learned the battle report, the Sixth Legion has destroyed 30,000 enemies, and the opponent's chariots have all been destroyed!" the marshal asked.

"Hmm!" The Emperor nodded, and then asked, "Marshal, the ballista designed by Jiang Xingchen is so powerful, can it be used to siege the city, is it possible for us to take Aya City in one go!"

"This ......" The marshal hesitated for a moment and slowly shook his head: "I'm afraid not, even if the chariot is covered with iron armor, it is far less solid than the city gate...... In addition, judging from the description of the battlefield, the ballista is not flexible enough, and if the siege is too close, it will definitely become a live target for defending the strong bow!"

"That's it!" the Emperor exhaled slowly, although he had regret in his heart, he still smiled: "This kind of result is already quite good, at least the opponent's chariot crossbow will no longer be used in the future...... By the way, the opponent's tank was destroyed, and the crossbow should still be intact, right?"

"Yes! Wei Ning has collected some of it, and I have asked him to send someone to the imperial capital, and hand it over to Feng Xuanzhang, and he should be able to study the production method!"

"That's good!" the Emperor laughed again, from this great war, you can see the importance of weapons, and even the way of war in the future will change because of this.

The marshal pondered for a moment, waited until the emperor's laughter subsided, stood up and bowed and said, "The emperor, your subordinates have something to do!"

"Oh?" the Emperor raised his eyebrows and asked, "What is the matter with the marshal?"

"I want to transfer Jiang Xingchen to the military department!" said the marshal.

"Hmm!" When the emperor heard this, his brows furrowed, and he said slowly: "Marshal, you should know Jiang Xingchen's thoughts, he is dedicated to building a territory, and he will not agree...... If he insists on it, with his unruly temperament, I am afraid it will backfire!"

"Emperor, I don't want Jiang Xingchen to come to the military department to serve, I just want to give him the name of the military department, and he will continue to build his territory...... Since the Battle of Pingjuncheng, every big victory is because of Jiang Xingchen, but no matter what, he is not a member of the military department, every victory of the army is the help of outsiders, what will others think in the long run!"

The marshal's words fell, and the emperor also fell into contemplation, once the people felt that the army had no combat effectiveness and had to rely on outsiders, this was not a good thing!

After pondering for a while, the Great Emperor said: "In that case, the two hills that Jiang Xingchen was promoted to a first-class viscount and developed were all placed under the jurisdiction of the Xingchen Domain...... In addition, Jiang Xingchen is specially appointed as the operational staff officer of the military department, and he does not participate in anything in the military department in peacetime!"

After the emperor said this, the marshal smiled and said: "Emperor Mingjian, your subordinates also think so, you don't need him to participate in the affairs of the military department, only when there is a major war, you need him to come forward!"

The Great Emperor nodded, stood up and ordered: "Immediately spread this news to the major lords, aren't the old guards worried about the position of the commander of the Eighth Legion, see how they react this time!"

After a pause, the emperor asked, "Has the Marquis of Dingbei been notified there?"

"I've sent him a message, informing him that he doesn't need to go to Linshui City anymore and is going back quickly!"

After answering these words, the marshal got up and took leave, officially announcing the news of the victory of the Sixth Army.

At the same time, in the Eighth Army Corps, which was rushing to Linshui City, Dingbei Hou looked at the letter sent by the marshal in his hand in a daze, and the whole person was stunned.

"Ballista, three hundred meters apart will bombard the opponent's chariot to pieces, the Sixth Army will win a big victory, annihilating more than 30,000 enemies, and beat it back to Aya City, how can this be ......?"

Dingbei Hou muttered in a low voice, stunned for a long time, before pursing his lips, swallowing his saliva, and spit out a long breath of turbid air that he had held for a long time.

"Jiang Xingchen, it's this kid again...... I knew that he was my lucky star! Ha Lu Ha ...... "After the most delucent, Dingbei Hou couldn't help but laugh. This trip with the newly formed Eighth Army to block the attack, he originally thought that he would be defeated, and he thought that he was about to go to Linshui City, but he came to a peak.

"This kid is really good, and it's not in vain that I plan for his star leader!" Dingbei Hou laughed and ordered loudly: "The whole army stops and turns around, the tail team changes to the front team, and returns the same way!"

The generals in the army were confused by the order of Dingbei Hou, and they didn't know what this meant, they were about to go to Linshui City, and it was a big crime to escape from the battle. As a result, a group of officers came to Dingbeihou one after another to ask the reason.

When Dingbei Hou threw the news of the military headquarters to them, all the people were shocked, and they didn't come back to their senses until the army turned around and started......

"The Sixth Legion won a great victory, annihilated more than 30,000 enemies, and forced the enemy back to Aya City!"

The news first spread among the top echelons of the empire, and the Minister of Finance, Feng Xuanzhang, Huang Shi and others came to the military headquarters one after another to confirm the news. When they saw the detailed military report, they were just as stunned as Dingbei Hou, the power of the ballista described above was too terrifying, too incredible.

Next, the news spread rapidly, and the streets and alleys of the imperial capital, restaurants and restaurants were talking about the news of the victory of the Sixth Army. Almost everyone looked excited, the defeat of the Sixth Legion a few days ago, the haze that shrouded the imperial capital has now been swept away.

However, at this time, the aristocratic management department was extremely out of tune with the atmosphere of the imperial capital, and the sound of cups and plates breaking was constantly heard from inside. (To be continued......)
