Text Chapter Five Hundred and Seventy Eight

"Tuk Tuk Tuk..."

Amidst the sound of horseshoes, a white robe galloped straight into the depths of Longdan camp. Feng Jixing got off his horse and walked into the handsome tent with his whip in his hand. When he looked up, he saw Lin Muyu and Chu Yao eating. It was the day before, and it was rare that they still had an appetite.

"Brother Feng is here?"

Lin Muyu smiled slightly: "Come here, add a pair of bowls and chopsticks."

"No."

Feng Jixing sat down and said, "I'm not here to eat, I'm here to collect debts."

"Debt collection?" Chu Yao laughed, "What does Ah Yu owe Brother Feng?"

"A promise!"

Feng Jixing narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Ah Yu promised me that after the magic crystal cannon research is completed, he will give me some of the forbidden army. Now I am naturally here for the magic crystal cannon."

"Magic Crystal Cannon..." Chu Yao murmured, not knowing what it was, but she was smart and knew not to ask questions, so she silently planed the rice.

Lin Muyu smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, don't worry, you can't transport it to you now, a magic crystal cannon weighs tens of thousands of catties, and the wheels of an ordinary carriage will be crushed directly, even if it is disassembled It takes a lot of manpower to deliver."

"You boy, what are you going to do?"

"After dinner, Brother Feng and I will go for a walk and you will know."

"okay!"

After the meal, the two of them got on their horses and galloped out of the city, heading straight to the woodland in the south of the city. About an hour later, there was the sound of gurgling water in the woodland. It comes from the nearest river near Lanyan City, named "Shuilin River". It is said that there was a water unicorn bathing in this Shuilin River. It has been said for thousands of years. The river is very deep and connected to the main basin of the Daojiang River. It is continuously drawn to irrigate the farmland. It is dug wider and wider, and it has become the mother river of Lanyan City.

"Shuilin River?" Feng Jixing frowned.

"That's right."

Lin Muyu raised his horsewhip and pointed forward: "I ordered the logistics army of the Longdan Battalion to disassemble the magic crystal cannon and transport it to the riverside, and then dispatched the navy's warship to transport it. A navy warship can transport about 3-5 One magic crystal cannon, the draft is very deep, plus the weight of the navy, basically one warship transports three magic crystal cannons!"

As I said, when the two of them passed through a bush, a group of soldiers from the Gendan Battalion appeared in front of them, carrying the parts of the magic crystal cannon onto the ship bit by bit. The interior is already under martial law.

"See Commander!"

A commander stepped forward and saluted respectfully.

"How is the shipment going?" Lin Muyu asked.

"More than half of the shipment has been made, please rest assured, Lord Commander!"

"That's good."

Lin Muyu looked at the waves and ripples on the Shuilin River smugly. No one knows how long this war will last, but this time the empire will never be so passive again.

Feng Jixing was also a little excited, and said with a smile: "My boy, how many magic crystal cannons do you have now?"

"I've sold off all my family property, and I've sold everything else." Lin Muyu said with a heartbroken look on his face, "In addition to the limited time, a total of fifty magic crystal cannons were cast."

"Fifty?" Feng Jixing raised his eyes, "I want twenty."

"You lion, open your mouth, up to ten doors, these are my life!"

"No, at least fifteen, otherwise it's useless, and you have to provide me with artillery such as loading shells, otherwise no one in the imperial army will use it, it's like a pile of scrap metal."

"Well, fifteen doors are fifteen!" Lin Muyu took a deep breath: "These magic crystal cannons will pass through the waterway and directly reach Daojiang, but Brother Feng, don't use the magic crystal cannon unless it is absolutely necessary. Although the power of this giant cannon is good, but there are very few shells, I almost searched for all the magic crystals in Lanyan City, and after every shell was shot, there would be one missing."

"Can."

Feng Jixing said: "Then how many magic crystal shells will you distribute to me?"

"10 per cannon."

"Is it too little?"

"Don't be too small, it's basically like this." Lin Muyu smiled awkwardly and said: "The technology is not mature, and the chamber of the magic crystal cannon will burn red after firing a single shell, and it takes two minutes to refill the shell. Fire it after five minutes, otherwise it will be easy to explode, so the magic crystal cannon can only serve as a deterrent for the time being, and it may be very difficult to rely on the magic crystal cannon to destroy the main force of the demons."

"Okay, I see."

Feng Ji walked forward, stretched out his palm to caress the body of a magic crystal cannon, his face was full of idiots, he couldn't help touching and touching, I'm afraid the girl in Hualou would not be treated so well with him , couldn’t put it down and said with a smile: “It’s such a baby... When the rest of the imperial army is only equipped with arrow boxes and ballistas, it’s really not easy for us to have such a long-range and powerful artillery.”

"This is not a cannon." Lin Muyu corrected: "The law power produced by the explosion of the magic crystal is not flame, but lightning. The field explosion produced by high-temperature lightning cannot be defended by ordinary armor. I am afraid that the demons don't know about it." The secret of the magic crystal."

"Hahaha……"

Feng Jixing patted Lin Muyu's shoulder lightly: "It's great to have Ah Yu in the empire. If Ah Yu really died four years ago, I really don't know how to fight today's battle."

"Don't worry, someone will hit you."

"Yes, but who is it? An unscrupulous villain like Xiang Yu, a reckless man like Su Long who knows nothing about military tactics, or a general of the Tang family who has exhausted his tricks?" Feng Jixing said deeply. Glancing at him, he said: "There are only a few generals available to the empire, and this is the biggest reason why His Highness reuses you and me."

"Don't say it so sadly, the army will set off tomorrow, has Brother Feng thought about how to fight this battle?"

"have no idea."

Feng Jixing shook his head: "The demon army is too powerful, the armored demon is so brave and good at fighting, but there are nearly 300,000 in number, and we... Although the Imperial Army is known as a million-strong army, you and I both know that more than 60% of them They are recruits, they have never even seen the demons, once they see the armored demons and winged men, I just pray that they will not pee their pants in fright."

"Hahaha……"

Lin Muyu laughed while holding the hilt of his sword, looked at the surging river, and said: "Also, the provinces in the clouds and the provinces of the earth and stars wantonly recruited soldiers, but they didn't keep up with the supply of equipment. I saw it a few days ago. In some legions in the province of Earth Star, the soldiers only wore military uniforms but did not have any armor. Most of the weapons they used were long spears, only the tip of the spear was steel, and the body of the spear was wood. I'm afraid it won't help if you see the armor demon's thick weapons, I can't imagine what it's like for Lan Gong and Yun Gong to fight the demons with a pile of rags, I can't even imagine it."

"yes……"

Feng Jixing sighed, and said: "Those recruits are the fresh life of the empire, but...for Duke Lan and Duke Yun's army expansion, these young people may die worthlessly under the sharp knives of the demons. Ah Yu, Tang Lan has blocked the connection between Qihai Province and Lanyan City, and the Emperor knows nothing about the deployment of troops in Qihai Province, so I think... Duke Lan may have a plan."

"You mean, Lan Guild sent troops to attack Lanyan City while we were fighting with the demons in Cangnan Province?"

"That's right."

Feng Jixing looked deeply at the majestic outline of Lanyan City in the distance, and said: "Lanyan City is the imperial capital, the richest city in the world, and the seat of the three divisions and six departments of the empire. Once Lanyan City is controlled by Tang Lan, I am afraid His Highness Qin Yin will not be able to go back to Lanyan City, once the imperial capital's supply to the soldiers in front is cut off, we will certainly be defeated, and I'm afraid it will cause trouble to Xiao Qiang."

Lin Muyu smiled: "Didn't Xiao Yin order Lan Gong and Xiang Yu to lead the army to go out with them? It's okay, let's talk... Xiao Xi has already gone to Qihai Customs to receive the Tang family's army. I am not afraid that the Tang family will not obey the order."

"Well, I can only hope that the situation will develop in a good direction. Let's go. Tonight we have to respond to each other to cheer up the senior generals, otherwise...they are already scared and at a loss by the 500,000 demons."

"Um!"

...

Soon night falls, a round of bright moon hangs high in the sky, and the crescent moon bends, causing many literati and poets to recite poems that have been passed down through the ages. However, at this moment, the crescent moon hangs like a bloody sickle Once the sky above Lanyan City falls, the people of the three realms will surely die.

On the high stage of the Gentian Legion, Lin Muyu stood majestically holding the Star Sword in his hand, his cloak flying high, and the three-star general rank badge on his shoulder was shining golden in the moonlight. He looked at the generals below the stage. Everyone, almost all the mid-level and senior generals above the rank of commander of the Longdan Battalion are concentrated here, and nearly a hundred people are fighting in a mighty battle.

Everyone stared at Lin Muyu with bull's eyes. They were all rough people, but they knew that the commander had something to say, so they all waited and watched to see what kind of shocking story Lin Muyu, who once served as the chief deacon of the temple, would say. language.

"Ahem!"

Lin Muyu cleared his throat and asked, "Brothers, you and I are soldiers of the Empire. Now that the Demon Race's 500,000 troops have invaded the country, their strength is far superior to ours. I just want to ask you, are you afraid?"

"Scared!" Everyone said in unison hoarsely.

"It's useless to be afraid."

Lin Muyu raised the long sword straight above the top, and said: "It is our destiny to spill blood on the battlefield. Only a war can protect our homeland. I, Lin Muyu, cannot guarantee that you will come back alive to see the bright moon above Lanyan City again, but I promise , even if we die in battle, our gentian army will only die in battle with honor, not just survive. I don't promise to lead you to a victory, but I guarantee that we will go all out and live up to the imperial soldiers Honor! Everyone has it, turn around and go back to sleep immediately, and set off early tomorrow morning!"

"yes!"
