After getting permission, Pang Chong came to the palace with a little excitement and asked people to send the artillery model placed outside the palace.

The Emperor, including the hundred officials, all stretched out their heads and observed with endless curiosity. As a result, when they saw this 'artillery', many people immediately booed - so disappointed, so small!

The cannon was very rudimentary, simple except for an iron pipe tied to a wooden shelf with straw rope, and the barrel was an iron pipe shaped by spells, the barrel was about a meter long, and the surface was relatively smooth, apparently with a special cosmetic treatment:

The color is dark and shiny, like porcelain, although it is small, it is also a small work of art. The wooden frame is also beautiful, and it is also carved with patterns - although it is a bit verbose.

A small hole was made in the rear end of the barrel, where the fuse was placed, and black powder and solid shells were loaded from the front. The caliber of the muzzle is about the size of an egg, about an inch.

This thing is called artillery, so it is more like a firecracker. Well, at this time, the people in the country of Jinyang do not yet have the concept of 'fire gun'. The information they received was only artillery, but the artillery they copied was ...... The shrinkage is severe.

The Great Emperor of the Kingdom of Jinyang frowned slightly, but didn't say anything.

Pang Chong first loaded the fuse, and then loaded the 'gun' with gunpowder and projectiles from the front end of the barrel. Then adjust the direction of the artillery and aim at a bluestone slab fifty meters in front of you. Adjusted, invite the Emperor to light the fire.

The Emperor was not polite, and a little candle flame appeared on his fingertips, lighting the fuse.

Sparks burst out, and the flame of the fuse sank into the barrel. Suddenly, the rudimentary artillery erupted into a roar, and the dark red flames rushed out a foot, and a solid projectile the size of an egg rushed out like lightning, shattering the two-inch thick stone slab in front of it.

The smoke of gunpowder filled the air, and the pungent smell spread rapidly.

Many people are still curious - it is impossible to be shocked, this artillery is too weak, and it is estimated that it will not be able to seriously injure even a gas refining period. As for the explosion, it was not loud.

The Emperor frowned slightly: "This is different from what is recorded in the Jade Slip! I remember that what is recorded in the Jade Slip is: The artillery can span more than 20 miles, and every explosion can empty more than ten zhang;

You artillery...... You can catch it during the Qi refining period!"

Pang Chong explained cautiously and slowly: "Your Majesty, there are some difficulties in the artillery technology of the country of Qixia, and we are still exploring them. It is expected that it will take another one to two months to produce such artillery.

But at this time, the war is tense, and we can't wait for two months, so we can only get one like this first, at least to give the soldiers courage. It's enough to tell everyone that we have this too. ”

The emperor thought for a while, and nodded slowly: "You think more correctly." But such 'artillery' is just afraid that it will not be enough!"

"Your Majesty, this is just a model, a real artillery, which is expected to be seven feet long, one to two feet thick, and the diameter of the projectile fired can reach seven to fifteen inches. ”

"Oh...... Yes, let's produce it as soon as possible. After the emperor said that, he turned his head to look at the hussar general Sima Zhen, and called He Dongqi, who was at the 'punishment station' in the distance: "You two, give you a chance to atone for your crimes." Starting today, 1.5 million troops will be mobilized from all over the country and the whole country will be deployed to attack the country of Qixia.

I hope that you can destroy the country of Qixia in a state of destruction and decay, and do not give the country of Qixia the slightest respite. ”

Prime Minister Pang Chong spoke again: "Your Majesty, the criminal minister has another suggestion, don't we have a second prince of the country of Qixia in our hands, and now the country of Qixia is actually the princess regent and the chicken Si Chen, we can play a banner:

Kuang Fu Orthodoxy!

We want to tell the people of the country of Qixia that we are not invading, we are trying to correct the mistakes of the country of Qixia. By the way, the two princes were supported as puppets.

In doing so, it should be possible to reduce the resistance to the advance of the army, and even win over some of the forces of the country of Qixia, and it can also make those wavering families, sects, and so on in the country of Qixia hesitate and even turn against each other!

Let's first recognize the rule of the second prince of the country of Qixia, and when the country of Qixia is completely controlled by us, what to do is not a matter of words. ”

Baiguan suddenly became active, and all kinds of opinions popped out.

During the discussion, there was a squire who walked quickly next to the Emperor and quietly sent information - the Jiuyang Sect had been terminated, and now the Great Elder of the Jiuyang Sect had come to the palace to ask for help, and it seemed that there was only one breath left.

The emperor's eyes suddenly sharpened: "This may be a good opportunity, Jiuyang Sect should still have a lot of roots in the country of Qixia, let the second prince of the country of Qixia be supported by the Jiuyang Sect, it may be a good choice!"

The Great Emperor saw the Great Elder of the Jiuyang Sect, and at this time, Qing Hongzi had white hair and withered all over his body, and his life was almost at an end. Seeing Qing Hongzi like this, the emperor gritted his teeth and ordered the people around him: "Take the Erjin Dan!"

Du Erjin Dan, the life-saving pill of the royal family of the Kingdom of Jinyang, was purchased from the east and was extremely rare and expensive. The jade box slowly opened, and an elixir with a precious light flowing and complex and exquisite cloud patterns appeared in front of Qing Hongzi.

Danxiang floats, and the aura around is looming. The elixir actually caused a little vision. As the aura converged, the pill actually floated on its own.

"It's ...... Elixir?" Qing Hongzi said with difficulty.

The elixir, or it can be called: the high-grade elixir at the level of the god transformation stage! The elixir of this realm already has a little spirituality.

The emperor blamed himself with a face: "It was my negligence to let Daoyou suffer, I didn't expect the country of Qixia to be so crazy." This Pill should be able to repair the foundation of the Daoist, and with the addition of other pills, it may not take a few months for the Daoist's cultivation to recover half. After a few more years of rest, you should be able to fully recover. ”

Keihiroko...... Impressed!

Yes, he is already an old fox, but it is precisely because of this that Qing Hongzi is even more moved. He was well aware of his current state, and he also knew the value of a elixir. It is clearer that the current Jiuyang Sect ...... There's not much value anymore. At least that's what Keihiroko thinks.

Keihiroko is not a fool, but he is only a practitioner, not a politician after all. He struggled to sit up and bowed to the emperor: "From now on, but according to the emperor's orders!"

"Okay!" the Emperor agreed, and put Du Erjin Dan at the head of Qing Hongzi's bed, "You can rest first, I will seek justice for you in the matter of Jiuyang Sect."

Tomorrow, there will be an army of three million to attack, and we will guarantee to rescue the remaining disciples of the Jiuyang Sect!"

Three Million Army...... is impossible, only one and a half million. But that's not a small number. That night, some of the legions began to mobilize, and some elites took the seal of the Jiuyang Sect and others to recruit and save the fleeing disciples of the Jiuyang Sect.

In any case, there are still tens of thousands of disciples in the Jiuyang Sect, and with a little training, these disciples are real elite soldiers. The country of Jinyang will not let go.

From now on, the Jiuyang Sect will become the sword in the hands of the Kingdom of Jinyang until ...... Until it breaks!

From today onwards, the Nine Yang Sect will completely lose the ability to control its own destiny.

The Great Emperor of the Kingdom of Jinyang used a Du Erjin Pill in exchange for thousands of years of accumulation of the Jiuyang Sect - at least three or four percent.

............

As the night deepened, more than 300,000 legions had already attacked in the west of the country of Jinyang, most of these legions were drawn from the country of Danyang, and the direction of their attack was Huaishan Pass.

What is the concept of more than 300,000 troops? It is like an endless wave rolling forward, and there is no end in sight all over the mountains. The peaks are covered and the rivers are filled in.

The commander was Zhou Chengde, the general of Zhenxi in the country of Jinyang. Originally, the Western strategy should have been handed over to Zhou Chengde, but the Emperor of the Kingdom of Jinyang directly appointed Sima Zhen, the generalissimo of the national soldiers and horses and the hussar general, to be in charge of it, wanting to solve the country of Qixia in one fell swoop. And Zhou Chengde was responsible for suppressing the country of Danyang.

I didn't want things to go through twists and turns, so I had to be transferred to Zhou Chengde again.

Zhou Chengde analyzed as he advanced: "If the information is correct, there should be no artillery in Huaishan Pass now." But it's better to be careful. ”

Looking at the map, Zhou Chengde quickly determined the battle plan: the army was divided into three, the masters and elites crossed the mountains from the north and south sides of Huaishan Pass, and outflanked the defenders of Qixia Country in Huaishan Pass from the rear, and the rest of the army advanced head-on. Take advantage of your numbers and destroy your enemies in one fell swoop!

Then Zhou Chengde glanced at a town in the distance. This town...... It was also 'cleaned up', only the screaming people remained, and all the materials were taken away by the country of Qixia.

"Hateful!" Zhou Chengde snorted angrily, his eyes full of murder.

It's just that Zhou Chengde didn't know that there was a 'Night Moon Tower' in the country of Qixia. Bai Ye had already scattered everyone out, and Zhou Chengde's every move was detected.

The army of the country of Qixia moved overnight, and more than 100,000 people quietly withdrew from Huaishan Pass. By the way, there was also a small amount of explosives planted under Huaishan Pass - very few this time, just to ruin the level.

Around dawn, when the army of the country of Qixia had left for more than an hour, Zhou Chengde finally led the army to arrive and complete the siege, but what he saw was an empty city. The sporadic fires at the head of the city were like ghost fires.

"It's an empty city again!" Zhou Chengde sneered, "I won't be fooled with such a trick again!"

The army rested on the spot, and sent a few more people into the city to search!"

Ordinary soldiers did not know the news of explosives and the 'soaring' of Yunhaiguan, and they went into the city under the orders of Zhou Chengde to search for 'everything that was not normal', especially the newly dug ground.

The gate slowly opened, and many torches fell, igniting the fuel. The next moment, in a roar and firelight, the entire Huaishan Pass collapsed like a sand castle.

The explosion made a radius of dozens of miles tremble, and the sky-high flames kicked up billowing smoke and dust.

This time there were not many explosives, which just destroyed Huaishan Pass, leaving Zhou Chengde's army with no place to live.

You can't use the same technique twice. So this time Zhou Shuhai and Gu Xingdong were very sensible, and they just blew up Huaishan Pass. But this was enough, the power of the land shaking the mountains was enough to bring fear to the army of the Kingdom of Jinyang.

Many soldiers looked at the collapsed level, and their hearts trembled.

............

"The Kingdom of Jinyang is ready for a great counterattack!" In the main hall of the Jiuyang Sect, Zhang Hao received a message from Bai Ye and handed it to Liu Xinyu next to him.

Liu Xinyu looked at it and nodded: "It's expected." That's why this king will take the lead in cleaning up the Jiuyang Sect. Now the situation is completely under control!"

Zhang Hao looked at Liu Xinyu, who was calm and everything was under control, and was very surprised in his heart, and a little admiration: an eighteen-year-old girl, but she shouldered the heavy responsibility of a country!

Faintly Zhang Hao remembered Liu Xinyu's speech at the fundraising in Ninghe County:

[I like to play the piano, on my eighth birthday, my sister-in-law gave me a piano book, "The Wind Swings the Green Bamboo".

I wiped it every day, but it wasn't until this year that I opened the sheet music for the first time.

I waited ten years to learn the piano. 】

What kind of mentality is a favorite sheet music around, but I haven't turned a page for ten years?

"What's wrong?" Liu Xinyu was uncomfortable by Zhang Hao's eyes.

Zhang Hao smiled slightly: "I've been wondering, why is Ouyang Qingque so sharp to me? I can't figure it out until now!"

"This one...... Eating people's mouths and taking human hands and thieves, there is nothing that can't be figured out! The Ouyang family supports the prince!" Liu Xinyu said very easily.

Zhang Hao suddenly said: So it makes sense, then Ouyang Qingque is isolating his communication with the princess!

"Young Master, Young Master......" Huang Mingshan trotted over excitedly, but after seeing Liu Xinyu, he immediately slowed down and met this 'regent' first.

Liu Xinyu looked at Huang Mingshan and seemed to smile: "Yo, isn't this 'Engineer Huang', what makes you happy like this?"

"Ah...... This ...... "Huang Mingshan was at a loss.

Zhang Hao glanced at Liu Xinyu and said lightly: "Say it." ”

"Ah...... Good. Young Master, we found a box of old books in the library of the Jiuyang Sect, on which a large number of formations were calculated mathematically.

After examination, the mathematical method is rusty and has many fallacies. Obviously, it does not form a complete mathematical system, but it is still of inestimable value to us. A little tidying up in the later stage is expected to save us ten years of development time.

But because this box of books was placed in the utility room, it did not attract everyone's attention for the time being. ”

Before Zhang Hao could speak, Liu Xinyu spoke: "The items in the utility room don't need to be distributed." I'm in charge, and I'll give it all to the Zhang family. ”

Zhang Hao was surprised.

Liu Xinyu looked at the bright starry sky outside and said lightly: "The current Zhang family is not bad, but I want to see what the Zhang family will be like in ten years!"

And since these things are useful, they can't be left out!"

Huang Mingshan excitedly retreated, ready to clean up all the items in the utility room. There are often a lot of good things in the clutter, but only people with discerning eyes or professional knowledge can find these good things. Of course, luck is also needed.

Waiting for Huang Mingshan to leave, Liu Xinyu sighed faintly: "Zhang Hao, you said that in the face of the attack of the million-strong army of the Jinyang Country, how long can we last? Can we wait for a turnaround?"

If my second brother becomes a puppet of the country of Jinyang, I am afraid that I will ...... We...... There will be a lot of trouble!"

At this time, Liu Xinyu showed a little confusion. At this time, she had an indescribable tiredness on her body.

Zhang Hao got up slowly and looked at the pure starry sky. Today, I couldn't catch the sunset of the main peak of Jiuyang Sect and Yuyang Mountain, but watching the stars here is also a different scenery.

Zhang Hao had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth: "Your Highness, the night will always pass." I think that the country of Qixia still has a chance to win! So what we have to consider is not how long it will last, but ...... How to win!"

"Victory?" Liu Xinyu sat in his chair and muttered a little in his voice, "Now the whole country of Qixia can barely make up a million legions. But that's all a rabble.

And there are not many pills in the treasury.

It is normal for the decisive battle of a million legions to drag on for a year or two. But the elixir reserves in the country of Qixia are only afraid that they will not last for half a year. ”

Zhang Hao turned his head to look at Liu Xinyu: "Your Highness is talking to me about this, is it appropriate?"

"......" Liu Xinyu suddenly reacted, stood up suddenly, and her face gradually became gloomy.

Speaking of which, Liu Xinyu is under a lot of pressure, killing her brother and usurping power, and she has to carry the mess of the country of Qixia, she is exhausted, but she can't rest.

Among the people Liu Xinyu came into contact with, Zhang Hao was a rare one of the same age but also had a certain ambition, and he also made important achievements.

Invisibly, Liu Xinyu regards Zhang Hao as a "like-minded" 'fellow practitioner'.

In the entire country of Qixia, in Liu Xinyu's eyes, only Zhang Hao is a 'sober person'. The rest are just drunk!

Liu Xinyu, who was tired, needed to find someone to talk to, but at this time, after being reminded by Zhang Hao, she suddenly woke up - the identities of the two are completely different!

Looking at Liu Xinyu's expression, Zhang Hao suddenly smiled: "Your Highness, do you know what it means to 'pour the power of the whole country'?"

Liu Xinyu looked at Zhang Hao vigilantly for a long time, and the vigilance in his eyes gradually disappeared, but it did not disappear completely. She didn't answer the rhetorical question, and her tone was gloomy with indescribable loneliness and confusion: "Are all the rulers all lonely?"

Zhang Hao turned around and looked at Liu Xinyu, the relaxed smile on his face was retracted, he 'approached' Liu Xinyu step by step, and finally came to the front of Liu Xinyu, the distance was only ...... Less than a foot.

"What are you doing!" Liu Xinyu had a little indescribable panic in his eyes, but he pursed his lips slightly, did not retreat, and glared at Zhang Hao with 'cold, majestic, and serious' eyes.

Zhang Hao suddenly stretched out his hand and hugged Liu Xinyu.

"Ah...... Smack!" Liu Xinyu finally showed the reaction that a girl should have, screamed, and rewarded Zhang Hao with a crisp slap. Then he turned around and sat back in the chair, glaring at Zhang Hao fiercely, with shame and anger, and a little unspeakable murderous intent.

This slap was loud enough, and it even formed an echo, so that Hu Yinglan, who was guarding outside the hall, instantly appeared at the door of the main hall with a long sword in his hand.

"Get out!" Liu Xinyu snorted coldly.

Hu Yinglan glanced at Zhang Hao, who was covering his left cheek, blinked, and exited the hall with a mysterious smile on the corner of his mouth.

Zhang Hao covered the left side of his face, hissing and gasping for air, this slap was hard enough, the skin was open, and his mouth was full of blood. Liu Xinyu didn't show much mercy just now. A slap in the infancy stage, Zhang Hao can't afford it in the foundation building period!

Liu Xinyu looked at Zhang Hao coldly: "You'd better give me an explanation!"
