Text Chapter 945 Retreat

Longyan Mountain used to be the birthplace of the Longdan Camp, but many years later, Longyan Mountain has been in disrepair, the houses have collapsed, and the gathered civilians have scattered away. The whole mountain has become an abandoned mountain. However, Yueli was occupied by a group of bandits, and started a no-cost business again, but this no-cost business did not last long, and was soon targeted by the National Army.

In the middle of the night, densely packed Congressional troops appeared at the foot of Longyan Mountain, their banners unfurled, and they formed one piece.

But the uniforms of the soldiers were not neat, the treasury was empty, and there was not so much cloth and armor to equip the 500,000-strong Congressional Army. Most of the soldiers were still wearing the clothes they came from various provinces. Even many people's costumes are no different from hunters and farmers, and their equipment is not sophisticated. Rusty iron swords and cracked halberds can be seen everywhere.

The Congressional Army needs to be re-equipped. This is an urgent matter, and it is also the top priority of the Congressional Army Commander Zhuang Yan.

...

Under the starlight, Zhuang Yan dressed in military uniform, looked at the lights on the top of the mountain from a distance, and said, "How many are these bandits?"

Deputy Commander Su Changying said: "There are more than five hundred people in total."

"Hmph, more than five hundred people actually asked us to surround Longyan Mountain with nearly 100,000 people. It's really giving them face." Zhuang Yan sneered: "It is said that Longyan Mountain is the place where the Longdan Camp made its fortune. Wait until we kill all of them. These five hundred bandits then set me on fire to burn Longyan Mountain, which is a little warning to Lin Muyu."

Su Changying smiled faintly: "Commander, this subordinate thinks that we just need to do what we want to do. As for burning Longyan Mountain, there is no need. After all, people like Wei Chou and Situ Sen cannot be offended. In case they are in a better mood one day If we want to return to Longyan Mountain, it’s not good for us to burn down their lair..."

"snort."

Zhuang Yan said lightly: "Stop talking so much nonsense, attack the mountain immediately, we must take down Longyan Mountain before dawn, and besides... are our 'ammunition' ready?"

"It's already here. It's just down the mountain. The 'merchants' left after leaving the goods. Our golden ticket has also been given to them. At present, the 'arms' is under the control of Deputy Commander Liu Xiyu."

"Great, specify the quantity."

"En." Su Changying nodded: "There are five heavy magic crystal cannons and fifteen light magic crystal cannons, in addition to one hundred sets of magic crystal crossbows, one hundred and twenty heavy magic crystal cannonballs and twenty-eight Light magic crystal cannonballs, all of them have been counted."

Zhuang Yan narrowed his eyes, laughed loudly and said: "It's so good, I will show these magic crystal cannons and magic crystal crossbows at dawn, and say that they were suppressed from the bandit lair in Longyan Mountain. Lin Muyu won't let them The Ordnance Division casts heavy artillery for us, I'll see what else he can do this time, he won't intervene in the spoils handed over by our Nationalist Army himself."

Su Changying chuckled and said, "Yes, this subordinate understands."

"Remember, do the same, spend a lot of money and continue to buy equipment from those 'unscrupulous businessmen', since the empire is unwilling to equip the National Army, then we will equip it ourselves. When the National Army is strong and strong, I want to see Lin Muyu." How can the marshal check and balance us?"

"Well, the leader is wise, hahahaha..."

...

Before dawn, the Congress Army confiscated a total of 20 magic crystal cannons, played triumphant songs, and returned to Lanyan City with gongs and drums all the way.

Until the dusk of the next day, pushing the heavy magic crystal cannon and finally returning to Lanyan City, almost all the soldiers of the National Congress were happy, even if they were wearing thin clothes, they were already shivering from the cold.

In late autumn, the grass fluttered in the field, the cool wind was blowing, and the wheels of the magic crystal cannon made deep ravines on the official road, which made the speed of the convoy even slower. To see Lanyan City ahead, But before dark, they probably won't be able to enter the city. According to Zhuang Yan's military order, five of the twenty magic crystal cannons will be transported into the city and erected in the National Assembly as defensive equipment.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk..."

In the distance, the sound of horseshoes came, and a very neat row of soldiers came from the direction of the imperial capital, carrying the banner of the Longdan Battalion. Nearly 3,000 cavalrymen of Qiu Tongyu galloped towards them and stopped about 100 meters away from the Congress Army.

"It's Wei Qiu." Su Changying frowned.

Holding the whip, Zhuang Yan rode forward and said, "So it's Master Wei Chou. I don't know what Master Wei Chou's intention is to bring so many people here."

Wei Chou smiled slightly, and said politely: "Commander Zhuang Yan, I received a report at the Minister's Office of the Ministry of War, saying that the Nationalist Army illegally obtained 20 magic crystal cannons and 100 pairs of magic crystal crossbows, I don't know if it is true. "

As he spoke, he looked at the dark cannon barrel behind Zhuang Yan, and said with a smile, "It seems to be true."

Zhuang Yan said: "Your Majesty Wei Chou doesn't know that the National Assembly Army was ordered by His Royal Highness to go to Longyan Mountain to encircle the strongman. These magic crystal cannons were collected from the mountain. In order to destroy the strongman, the National Assembly Army injured hundreds of brothers. I think it should be reasonable for these magic crystal cannons to be used as the armament of the Congress Army."

Wei Chou smiled leisurely: "If it's a weapon, armor, etc., I can turn a blind eye. The spoils won by the National Assembly army belong to the National Assembly army. However, the Ministry of War has a clear regulation that magic crystal cannons and The magic crystal crossbow is a hot weapon and must be managed in a unified manner. All hot weapons that appear in the empire are under the control and distribution of the Ministry of War. I think you have seen Lin Shuai's order. The National Army is mixed with dragons and snakes, and no one will be assigned for the time being. Hot weapons, so... these magic crystal cannons are expected to be handed over to the treasury by Mr. Zhuang Yan, which is also the meaning of Her Highness the Empress."

"What, what does His Highness the Empress mean?" Zhuang Yan was taken aback.

Wei Chou raised his hand, holding a golden token, and said with a smile: "The female emperor's golden token, there are only three in total, I think my lord should have seen it before, seeing the golden token is like seeing your highness."

Zhuang Yan, Su Changying and others knelt down on one knee.

Wei Chou smiled lightly: "Come here, take over the magic crystal cannon and magic crystal crossbow from the brothers of the Congress Army."

"Wei Qiu."

Zhuang Yan roared angrily, raised his head and said: "You...don't bully people too much, the National Army is the army of the National Assembly, how dare you be so contemptuous, come and protect the magic crystal cannon, whoever dares to touch the magic crystal cannon, I will let him I regret coming to this world to go through it.”

"Yeah."

Wei Chou's eyes were cold, and he said, "Long Dan Battalion, get ready to fight."

The three thousand cavalry scattered behind them, forming a circular battle array. Every soldier raised a magic crystal crossbow, and the whole three thousand magic crystal crossbows were pointed straight at the people of the Congress Army. A mere twenty magic crystal cannons can be compared, not to mention that the distance between the two sides is too close, the magic crystal cannon is useless at all, Wei Chou is a smart man, and he is naturally confident in approaching the National Army from the beginning.

"Commander Zhuang Yan, why don't I settle the score for you."

Wei Qiu smiled: "The explosion radius of the magic crystal crossbow is about ten meters. If you fire three thousand magic crystal crossbows at close range, the five thousand Nationalist troops behind you will disappear in an instant. You don't even have a chance to pull the string of the magic crystal crossbow." , once Commander Zhuang Yan is shot and killed by the magic crystal crossbow, I will immediately go to Zetian Hall and tell His Highness the Empress, saying that the National Assembly Army did not obey the Jin Order and tried to kill me. Zhuang Yan's death is his own fault. Does your death have any value, besides, I also have a secret weapon."

As he said that, Wei Chou blew his whistle, and suddenly there was a burst of dragon chant in the sky, and six huge black shadows appeared in the air, the dragon knights headed by Situ Sen and Situ Xue killed countless people in the battle of Cangnan Province The ten dragon knights also captured some giant dragons, and the Long Dan Battalion already had six dragon knights.

Wei Chou smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Long Yu Douxuan can resist the magic crystal attack. As long as I give an order, the three thousand magic crystal crossbows will shoot and kill you, and you will not be able to cause the slightest damage to the Longdan camp. I advise you not to go your own way." Already, this is a mantis turning a cart into a cart, do you understand?"

Zhuang Yan was trembling with anger, but what Wei Chou said was right, under absolute strength, the National Assembly Army was completely vulnerable, not to mention the Longdan Battalion experienced in hundreds of battles, most of these soldiers of the National Assembly Army had no After experiencing war, ten people may not be able to defeat one soldier of the Gendan Battalion, this is just a fact.

Zhuang Yan was a little depressed, waved his hands and said: "Forget it, let the Minister of the Ministry of War take away these magic crystal cannons."

As he said that, Zhuang Yan glanced at Wei Chou and said, "It's just that, Mr. Wei Chou, the National Assembly Army has made great achievements in fighting and captured so many magic crystal cannons and magic crystal crossbows. Shouldn't the military department's arsenal send some more to the National Assembly Army?" Armaments, look at the group of soldiers behind me, they are the regular army of the Empire but they don’t even have a uniform.”

Wei Chou's eyes turned red: "Well, I know the suffering of the brothers, so... each magic crystal cannon can be converted into one hundred sets of military uniforms. After returning to Lanyan City, the military warehouse will distribute two thousand sets of military uniforms, plus two thousand Give the Congressional Army a long sword."

Zhuang Yan's face turned green: "Master Wei Chou, with such a small amount of military equipment, you are not sending beggars away."

Wei Qiuyu said earnestly: "The empire has been fighting for a long time, and the national treasury has long been consumed and almost empty. The wealth accumulated by His Majesty King Guangming for so many years was almost wiped out by us unworthy descendants within ten years. The two thousand sets of military uniforms are also It’s not easy to come by, even Her Majesty even took down the curtain of Zetian Palace and dyed it to make military uniforms, Her Majesty is so thrifty, shouldn’t Lord Zhuang Yan, as the commander of the National Assembly Army, set an example.”

Zhuang Yan's 10,000 grass-and-mud horses rushed past, and Wei Chou was speechless.

...

At night, Parliament House.

"Boom."

Zhuang Yan slammed his palm on the table, causing the fruit to fly wildly. He had an angry expression on his face: "Damn it, it's really too hateful, the Ministry of War deceives people too much, it doesn't treat our Nationalist Army as human beings at all, Wei Chou, Lin Muyu, Feng Jixing and the others are colluding, and they pissed me off, they really pissed me off, Mr. President, we can't just sit around and wait for death like this."

Qin Xuan sat there leisurely, with Qin Yan standing behind him like a statue of God of War. He took a sip from his teacup and said, "Commander Zhuang Yan, please be safe and don't be impatient. You said that Lin, Feng, Wei and others are colluding, don't they? His Royal Highness Qin Yin must be counted together. My lord, please remember that you are also an important member of the National Congress. The original intention of the National Congress was to make the empire better. If you even dare to blaspheme the Empress, then the old man will start to doubt your lord's establishment of the National Congress. The original intention."

Zhuang Yan's face was livid: "Chief, I made a slip of the tongue, please forgive me."

"It's okay, it's okay, but the Ministry of War is really deceiving people too much. It's true that it doesn't take the Congressional Army seriously."

"Oh, yes."

Su Changying on the side frowned and said: "The biggest problem for the Congressional Army now is the rations. The Ministry of War only gives us 200,000 soldiers a day. Most of our people can't eat enough, let alone training. The biggest problem is clothing. Lanyan City is located in Lingbei Province. Winter comes quickly. It may snow within a month, but most of our soldiers only wear autumn clothes. If there are no 500,000 sets of winter clothes, how can we Can get through this winter."

Zhuang Yan clenched his fists and said, "Lin Muyu, Wei Chou, and Feng Jixing have teamed up with the military department and the military department to cut off our food, grass and armaments. What we want is to let the National Assembly army retreat and let us leave the imperial capital on our own."

Zhou Heng sneered: "They have a good idea. Since we are here, we won't leave so easily. Since we don't have military uniforms, we can figure out ways to raise and transport them from our fiefs."

"I'm afraid it's too late."

Qin Xuan frowned and said, "That will freeze a lot of people to death, they are all the people of my Great Qin."
