Chapter 199: First Battle

At the court hall of the Kingdom of Qixia, Guan Zhengqing brought General Zhenxi Zhao Donghe from the Kingdom of Canglan to meet the new emperor, the crown prince and Liu Feng, who had just ascended the throne for only ten days.

Liu Feng glared at Guan Zhengqing: "Where is my second brother! Since you were able to escape, why didn't you go and save my second brother!"

Guan Zhengqing sighed, he had already explained it twice in the imperial study, but he did not expect to ask again in the hall!

This prince is too immature, what time is it, and he still cares about these trivial matters. Do you want to explain it a third time? And judging from the Prince's expression, it was obvious that he was 'interrogating'.

Yes, from Guan Zhengqing's point of view, Liu Feng is still the crown prince, and he can't stand up to the heavy responsibility of the 'Great Emperor'!

"Enough!" Zhao Donghe couldn't stand it any longer, "Your Majesty, we made a detour of more than 20,000 miles and narrowly escaped the eyes of the Kingdom of Jinyang and the Kingdom of Danyang to come here, and we came here to help.

If Qixia Country still has the ability to fight and is willing to fight, we will do our best.

If the Qixia Country is not ready to fight, or is no longer capable of fighting, then... I will return immediately and will not interfere in your country's affairs. "

What Zhao Donghyuk said was blunt, without any respect at all. That's right, everyone has been enemies for thousands of years. Although they have to cooperate because of the situation, the tone and so on are obviously not very good.

At this time, the Minister of the Ministry of War also came out: "Your Majesty, now that Jianwu County has fallen, the next attack target of the army of the Kingdom of Jinyang must be Xinglin Hall.

Your Majesty, we must immediately support Xinglintang. "

Liu Feng thought for a while and suddenly said: "Then let the people of Xinglin Hall withdraw to the rear? Then we can shrink the line of defense. Besides, there is no danger for Xinglin Hall to defend!"

"Hehe..." Zhao Donghyuk laughed, as if he had heard the best joke. There is still such an emperor in this world. The first thing that comes to mind is not fighting, but retreating! Why don't you think about surrendering, maybe you can save the lives of the whole family.

Afterwards, Prime Minister Ouyang Si also appeared on the list, persuading: "Your Majesty, you can't withdraw! Thinking of Xinglin Hall is of great significance. Moreover, there are a large number of medicinal fields around Xinglin Hall, and Xinglin Hall can provide 30% of the medicinal materials in the country of Qixia. Once Xinglin Hall falls ,The consequences could be disastrous!"

Then the Minister of the Ministry of Households and so on, all persuaded him one after another.

Everyone was 'against' Liu Feng, and he panicked: "However, we don't have enough troops now. Wu Fanghai and Su Jianzhong have less than 300,000 troops left in their hands, which can barely stop the westward advance of the Kingdom of Jinyang.

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

Although there are millions of other troops in the country, it still takes three days. "

The commander of the imperial guards gritted his teeth and stood up: "Your Majesty, please allow me to lead some of the imperial guards to help Xinglintang."

"Hmph!" Liu Feng snorted coldly, "Father was attacked under your protection, do you still have the ability to protect Xinglin Hall!"

The commander of the imperial guards suddenly turned pale.

Zhao Donghe from the Land 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, this is where you can come and go whenever you want!"

Zhao Donghe shook his head and spoke even more impolitely: "Your Majesty, what I see now is a country whose gates are lost and in danger, but which is still haggling inside. I think you have everything that a subjugated king should have. You shouldn't Yes, you have too!

The ministers sincerely wish the Qixia Kingdom a victory!

farewell! "

After all, he walked out without looking back. Liu Feng was trembling with anger, but he still didn't order to stop him.

At this time, Guan Zhengqing also spoke again: "Your Majesty, please allow me and Ding Kui, the commander of the imperial guards, to go to the Xinglin Hall to support and make atonement."

Liu Feng took a few short breaths before snorting coldly: "Sure! Also, Guan Zhengqing has given you a mission to persuade Zhao Donghe to go to Xinglin Hall together."

Beside, the prime minister quietly transmitted voice to Liu Feng: "Your Majesty, I promise you some rewards."

Liu Feng was full of anger, and promised a reward of wool, so he turned around and left, "Back the court!"

The hall was quiet, and everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

Guan Zhengqing sighed, and said to Ding Kui, the commander of the imperial guards: "Let's go, we must save Xinglin Hall, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.

Also, Minister of the Ministry of War Yu Tiegan, you must hurry up and urge reinforcements from all over the world. Can't wait. "

Yu Tiegan looked up at the top of the hall, and sighed deeply: "I...do my best!"

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

…………

But when the court hall was in chaos, Zhang Hao had already led many masters of the Dayang Group and five thousand soldiers who had just trained to the foot of Xinglin Hall.

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

How powerful is Dayang Group? This group, which gathered almost half of the Qixia country's strength, has more than three hundred yuan infants, plus temporary employment, etc., a total of more than four hundred yuan infants.

There are also 5,000 soldiers who have already been trained. These 5,000 soldiers are at least at the Foundation Establishment stage, and there are many Golden Core stage soldiers, and they are all armed with steel weapons and armor.

In the team, there are eight cannons and more than 900 shells produced in a hurry.

Zhou Shuhai personally went down the mountain to greet everyone.

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

With a smile on his face, Zhou Shuhai gently stroked the top of Zhou Xueyao's head, "Tell Dad, did you suffer from the Zhang family?"

"No. Dad, the explosives have been successfully researched."

"Father knows, your elder brother and senior brother (Xie Hongsheng) have already told dad. That must be the cannon." Zhou Shuhai looked at the eight cannons in the distance, his eyes full of curiosity.

Although Zhou Jue also sent back the jade slips, the records on the jade slips were too crude and vague. Zhou Shuhai still didn't understand the power of artillery. There is only one impression: it is no less powerful than Yuanying's self-destruct in the early stage.

It was obviously not a good time to reminisce about the past, 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 governor of Xingchang County, has led the army of Xingchang County and some folk masters to the north, and has tentatively confronted the army of the Kingdom of Jinyang several times. The situation is not optimistic.

After listening to the analysis, Zhou Jue immediately called the masters of the Nascent Soul 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 cannons for observation. The shape of the cannon is unique, the whole part of the cannon is forged with 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 cannons were obviously longer than the other five cannons. Calculated according to Zhang's new measurement standard, it can be about 70 to 80 centimeters long, almost 2.5 meters long.

"The longer the barrel, the farther the attack distance of the shell." Feng Zhiling appeared from the side, pretending to be an expert, "According to our actual test, the length of the barrel is increased by 70 centimeters, and the maximum range of the shell is from more than ten kilometers." Increased to fifteen kilometers.

However, increasing the length of the barrel also increases the difficulty of manufacture.

The five cannons in front are the first generation of mature cannons.

These extended barrels are the second generation. "

Zhou Shuhai nodded, gently stroking the cannon, filled with emotion for a moment. He never thought that he was single-minded in alchemy, but accidentally opened the door to explosives. Although the explosives were perfected in the Zhang family, the first step was started by himself.

Today, it will be the first time Dynamite will show its fangs to the world, right?

I was filled with emotions, but I really wanted to see the power of the artillery with my own eyes, so I followed the army forward.

Dugu Junjie had already started shouting, the five thousand army continued to advance, the artillery followed quickly under the drag of two horses, surrounded by special Nascent Soul Stage protection.

There is also a carriage at the back dedicated to transporting shells. Each shell is padded with fluffy dry straw all around, and the shell and fuze are separated.

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

Only then did Zhang Hao really feel: what does it mean that the situation is not optimistic!

Although Zhang Hao had seen the war in Jingshan City in the Kingdom of Jinyang before, Zhang Hao watched it as an outsider at that time. But at this time, Zhang Hao is in the middle of the game!

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

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

Dugu Junjie was very calm, almost cold. As soon as he came to the city wall, he ordered: "The artillery is ready, look for the commander's camp!"
