In the court of the country of Qixia, Guan Zhengqing took Zhao Donghe, the general of Zhenxi from the country of Canglan, to meet the new emperor, the crown prince who had just been on the throne for only ten days, and Liu Feng.

Liu Feng glared at Guan Zhengqing angrily: "What about my second brother! Since you were able to escape at that time, why didn't you save my second brother!"

Guan Zhengqing sighed, he had already explained it in the imperial study, it was a full two, but he didn't expect to ask in the main hall again!

This prince is too immature, when is this happening, and he still cares about these trivial things. Do you have to explain it a third time? And looking at the prince's expression, it is obvious that he is 'interrogating'.

Yes, in Guan Zhengqing's view, Liu Feng is still the crown prince now, and he can't afford the heavy responsibility of the 'emperor'!

"That's enough!" Zhao Donghe couldn't stand it anymore, "Your Majesty, we came here after a detour of more than 20,000 miles, narrowly avoiding the eyes of the country of Jinyang and the country of Danyang, and we are here to help."

If the country of Qixia still has the ability to fight, and is willing to fight, we will do everything we can.

If the country of Qixia is not ready to fight, or no longer has the ability to fight, then ...... We will return immediately and will not interfere in the affairs of your country again. ”

Cho Dong-hyuk's words are hard-hitting, and there is no respect at all. Also, everyone has been enemies for thousands of years, and although they have to cooperate because of the situation now, the tone and so on will obviously not be too good.

At this time, the military department Shangshu also appeared: "Your Majesty, now that Jianwu County has fallen, the next target of the army of Jinyang must be Xinglintang."

Your Majesty, we must immediately support Xinglintang. ”

Liu Feng thought for a moment and suddenly said, "Isn't it okay to let the people of Xinglintang retreat to the rear? And there is no danger to defend in Xinglintang!"

"Hehe......" Cho Dong-hyuk laughed, as if he had heard the best joke. There is such an emperor in this world. The first thing that comes to mind is not to fight, but to retreat! Why don't you want to surrender, maybe you can save your whole family's life.

Then Prime Minister Ouyang Si also came out and persuaded: "Your Majesty, you can't withdraw! Moreover, there are a large number of medicinal fields around Xinglintang, and the medicinal materials of the country of Qixia can be provided by Xinglintang. Once Xinglintang falls, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Later, the Ministry of Household Books and so on, all admonished.

Liu Feng was a little panicked when everyone was 'against him' and said: "However, our current strength is not enough." Wu Fanghai and Su Jianzhong now have less than 300,000 troops left, barely able to block the westward advance of the Jinyang Kingdom.

For Xingchang County in the south, it is beyond the reach of the whip!

Although the rest of the country's army is also as large as a million, it will take three days. ”

The commander of the Praetorian Guard gritted his teeth and stood up: "Your Majesty, please allow the minister to lead part of the Praetorian Guard to aid Xinglin Hall." ”

"Hmph!" Liu Feng snorted coldly, "My father was sniped under your protection, do you still have the ability to protect Xinglintang!"

The Commander of the Praetorian Guard suddenly turned purple.

Zhao Donghyuk, who came from the country of Canglan, sneered again: "Today is really an eye-opener." Guan Zhengqing, I think I may have come to the wrong place. Farewell!"

Liu Feng was furious: "Stop, how can you come here if you want to come and leave if you want!"

Zhao Donghe shook and spoke even more politely: "Your Majesty, what I see now is a country that is lost and precarious, but it is still calculating internally. I think you have all the things that a dead king should have. If you shouldn't have it, you have it!

The foreign minister sincerely wishes that the country of Qixia can achieve victory!

Farewell!"

With that, he walked out without looking back. Liu Feng was trembling angrily, but after all, he still did not order to intercept.

At this time, Guan Zhengqing also spoke again: "Your Majesty, please allow the minister and Ding Kui, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, to go to Xinglin Hall together to support and atone for their sins." ”

Liu Feng took a few breaths before snorting coldly: "Yes! Also, Guan Zhengqing gave you a task to persuade Zhao Donghe, and you should go to Xinglin Hall together." ”

Next to him, the prime minister quietly sent a message to Liu Feng: "Your Majesty, promise everyone some rewards." ”

Liu Feng was furious, and promised a reward of wool, so he turned around and left, "Retreat!"

The hall was quiet, and everyone looked at each other, a little dumbfounded.

Guan Zhengqing sighed and said to Ding Kui, the commander of the Praetorian Guard: "Let's go, we must protect Xinglin Hall, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable."

Also, the Ministry of War is still in Tiegan, and you must hurry up and urge reinforcements from all over the country. I can't drag it out. ”

Yu Tiegan looked up at the top of the hall and sighed deeply: "I...... Do your best!"

Guan Zhengqing nodded: "I'll go first, go and persuade Zhao Donghe and other people from the country of Canglan." ”

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

When there was a mess in the court, Zhang Hao had already led many masters of the Ocean Group and the five thousand soldiers who had just been trained to the foot of Xinglintang Mountain.

Xinglintang is also one of the major shareholders of Dayang Group, so this time, at Zhang Hao's suggestion, everyone came together to support.

How much strength is the Dayang Group? This group, which gathers almost half of the strength of the country of Qixia, has more than 300 yuan of infancy, plus temporary employment, etc., a total of more than 400 yuan of infancy.

There are also 5,000 soldiers who have been trained, and these 5,000 soldiers are at least in the foundation building period, and there is no shortage of Jindan period, and they are all armed with steel weapons and armor.

In the ranks, there were also eight artillery pieces and more than 900 shells that were rushed to be produced.

Zhou Shuhai personally went down the mountain to greet everyone.

"Daddy. Zhou Xueyao rushed out of Zhang Hao's side like a deer and rushed to Zhou Shuhai's side.

Zhou Shuhai smiled and gently stroked the top of Zhou Xueyao's head, "Tell my father, did you suffer any losses in the Zhang family?"

"No, I don't. Dad, explosives have been successfully studied. ”

"Dad knows, your brother and senior brother (Xie Hongsheng) have already told Dad. That's artillery. Zhou Shuhai looked at the eight artillery pieces in the distance, his eyes full of curiosity.

Although Zhou Jue also sent back the jade slip, the jade slip record was too simple and vague after all, and Zhou Shuhai still didn't understand the power of the artillery after all. There is only one impression: it is no less powerful than the self-explosion in the early days of the Yuan Infant.

At this time, it is obviously not a good opportunity to catch up, Zhou Shuhai received Zhang Hao and others, and simply introduced the situation of Xinglintang to Zhou Jue, Zhang Hao, Dugu Junjie and others.

At the same time, Zhou Shuhai also explained the general situation of Xingchang County.

Gu Xingdong, the county guard of Xingchang County, has already led the army of Xingchang County and some civilian masters to the north, and has already had several tentative confrontations with the army of the country of Jinyang, and the situation is not very optimistic.

After listening to the analysis, Zhou Jue immediately called the master of the Yuan Infant Stage to go to the front line to support, and the army then marched.

After Zhou Shuhai explained the matter, he finally had the opportunity to get close to the eight artillery pieces to observe. The shape of the gun is unique, the whole body of the gun is forged from steel, and the base and other parts are made of ordinary black iron.

But Zhou Shuhai soon discovered a problem: the barrels of three of the guns were obviously longer than the other five. According to the new measurement standard of the Zhang family, it can be almost seventy or eighty centimeters long, almost 2.5 meters long.

"The longer the barrel, the farther the shell will hit. Feng Zhiling came out from the side, pretending to be an expert, "According to our actual tests, the length of the barrel has increased by seventy centimeters, and the maximum range of the shells has increased from more than ten kilometers to fifteen kilometers.

However, the increase in the length of the barrel also increases the difficulty of manufacturing.

The front five guns are the first generation of full-fledged artillery.

These lengthened barrels are of the second generation. ”

Zhou Shuhai nodded, gently stroked the artillery, and was full of emotion for a while. He never thought that he was a single-minded alchemy, but he accidentally opened the door to explosives. Although the explosives were perfected in Zhang's house, the first step was to start it by itself.

Today will be the first time that explosives have shown their fangs to the world, right?

I was full of emotion, but I also wanted to see the power of the artillery with my own eyes, so I also advanced with the army.

Dugu Junjie had already begun to shout, and the 5,000-strong army continued to advance, the artillery followed quickly under the drag of two horses, and there was a special Yuan Infant Protection on all sides.

There were also horse-drawn wagons in the back for transporting shells. Each shell was filled with fluffy dry straw on all sides, and the shell and fuse were separated.

After Zhang Hao, Dugu Junjie, Zhou Jue and others arrived at the front line, they were immediately warmly welcomed by Gu Xingdong, the county guard. But when he stood at the head of the city, Zhang Hao looked at the mighty and boundless army of the Kingdom of Jinyang in front of him, and only felt that his heartbeat was a little stagnant.

At this time, Zhang Hao really felt: what is called the situation is not optimistic!

Although Zhang Hao had seen the war in Jingshan City in the country of Jinyang before, Zhang Hao saw it as an outsider at that time. At this time, Zhang Hao is an insider!

This change in identity made Zhang Hao feel an unprecedented suffocation.

The black-pressed legion stretched to the end of the line of sight, like a vast ocean.

Dugu Junjie is very calm, calm and almost cold. As soon as he came to the city wall, he ordered: "Prepare the artillery, find the commander's tent!"
