Chapter 452 The King Is Back!

After Mu Changtian walked up to the tower, he took the loudspeaker and said loudly: "King Zhao, you are well. We haven't seen each other for more than ten years!"

Hearing that this voice was also Mu Changtian's, King Zhao frowned suddenly.

He was a little confused. Wasn't Mu Changtian dead long ago? Why did he go to the north?

After his brain was stunned for a moment, King Zhao came to his senses and said loudly: "It's been ten years since we last met."

"You are really lucky. I thought you were dead a long time ago, but I didn't expect you are still alive!"

Mu Changtian laughed, and then said: "I didn't expect that I could live to this day."

King Zhao said: "I'm afraid you didn't run out just to get close to me!"

Mu Changtian ignored King Zhao's words and said, "King Zhao, I didn't expect that you would still stand by Lu Xingqiu after seeing what happened to me and Lao Zhou! Lu Xingqiu is the kind of person who kills people by killing them. Tyrant, are you worthy of following me like this?”

After hearing Mu Changtian's words, King Zhao's face darkened instantly.

Although King Zhao was indeed on the side of Emperor Xia, his people never knew this. His subordinates all believed that he killed the vassal kings in Daxia in order to compete for the throne and chose to go north.

Mu Changtian said this directly. If King Zhao's subordinates believed it, they would definitely be dissatisfied with King Zhao.

They followed King Zhao and worked so hard just to put King Zhao in that position so that they could become ministers of the Dragon. But in the end, King Zhao was secretly acting as Emperor Xia's dog. How could his subordinates endure it?

King Zhao sneered and said: "As the vassal king of Daxia, I naturally cannot see rebellious ministers and traitors usurping power!"

King Zhao neither affirmed nor denied. After all, they went north under the slogan of King Qin. His subordinates would not think there was anything wrong with what he said.

"But you, Mu Changtian, your Majesty thought that your Mu family wanted to rebel, but I didn't expect that you actually rebelled!"

"But I am very curious. King Bei is also His Majesty's son. Why did you go to King Bei? You still work for the Lu family, and you are still the Lu family's dog!"

Mu Changtian said calmly: "The King of the North is a wise king, far beyond the tyrant Lu Xingqiu."

Hearing this, King Zhao laughed loudly, "What kind of wise king can a person who thinks about killing his father and usurping the throne be?"

Mu Changtian ignored King Zhao's words and said: "King Zhao, before the war begins, for the sake of our young friendship, I advise you one last time to surrender to the King of the North. This is your only choice. !”

King Zhao said: "It's ridiculous, how could I, the king, take refuge in the rebellious ministers and traitors!"

Mu Changtian said: "Since King Zhao is stubborn, it's useless to talk more, let's start a war!"

After Mu Changtian finished speaking, King Zhao immediately pulled out his sword from his scabbard and said, "Attack!"

The next moment, drums sounded, and countless arrows flew out from the soldiers' battle formation.

Mu Changtian also raised his sword and said: "Attack!"

Immediately, the horn sound of "Woooooo~" sounded in the sky above Jingjiang City.

The moment the horn sounded, the sound of cannons echoed in the sky above Jingjiang City.

In an instant, countless cannonballs fell on King Zhao's army. Before King Zhao's soldiers could react, they were overturned by the cannonballs.

Where the shells exploded, people were thrown off their backs, dust filled the sky, limbs flew everywhere, and not a single Zhao soldier was left alive.

Seeing this scene, King Zhao's soldiers were shocked. For a moment, panic spread among the army.

King Zhao murmured: "Is this the weapon of the North Kingdom?"

"No wonder Dawu fell down in the North Country."

King Zhao quickly came to his senses and shouted, "Retreat!"

Originally, his attack this time was a tentative attack, and he had no intention of capturing Jingjiang City.

Now that he had seen such terrifying weapons in the North, let alone those soldiers, King Zhao himself had lost the will to fight.

With the sound of retreat horns and the waving of flags, Zhao Jun's soldiers retreated quickly. Zhao Jun's retreat was very fast, and the most important thing was that there was no trace of disorder.

Even though they were bombarded by artillery, Zhao Jun soldiers were still able to calm their inner panic.

At this time, the deputy general beside Mu Changtian said: "General, do we want to pursue him?"

Mu Changtian immediately said: "No need."

It can be seen from the retreat of King Zhao's army that this army is extraordinary. Now that they are catching up, they cannot bring heavy artillery. They may not be able to achieve much results by relying on muskets and grenades.

Although firearms are relatively powerful, other people's arrows are not immune to them.

Of course, the most important thing is that Lu Chen said in the military order that for troops with relatively strong combat effectiveness, we should try our best to use deterrence and recruitment as the main method.

After all, Daxia will be Lu Chen's Daxia from now on. If it is really completely destroyed and almost all the men of Daxia are killed, how will he unify other dynasties in the future?

Population is still an important resource for Lu Chen.

Mu Changtian believed that the weapons of the North Kingdom had already deterred King Zhao. Next, it was up to King Zhao to choose. If King Zhao insisted on siding with Emperor Xia, there would be no choice.

After King Zhao withdrew to a certain city they occupied, his inner emotions still could not calm down for a long time. He had expected that the weapons of the North Kingdom might be very powerful, but he did not expect that the power of the weapons of the North Kingdom would actually catch up with the Grand Master's action.

How on earth was that kind of exploding iron ball made? How could a small iron ball be so powerful?

Fortunately, Mu Changtian led his troops to chase them out, otherwise they would have lost at least one-third of their troops today.

This is troublesome. The Northern Kingdom has such powerful weapons, and his soldiers can't defend the road to the capital at all. He may not be able to complete the task assigned to him by Emperor Xia.

When he thought of this, King Zhao felt extremely depressed. How could the Northern King come up with so many things in such a short time since he came to the Northern Kingdom? There was no such explosive iron ball in this world before.

King Zhao began to worry in his heart. Now, the outcome is a little unpredictable.

The next war is not something that ordinary people can interfere with. They can only place their hopes on the Grandmaster and the Celestial Being.

If Emperor Xia can kill the Celestial Being of Xuanyue Palace and become a Celestial Being, then the weapons of the Northern Kingdom should be helpless against him, and they can still turn the tables at that time.

But if Emperor Xia's plan fails, then Emperor Xia will have to step down from that position.

If Emperor Xia fails, what should he do?

King Zhao frowned, thinking about a lot of things. In the next few days, King Zhao was on guard against Mu Changtian's eastward advance while thinking about what he should do.

At the same time, the war on the coast was basically decided. Although Daxia sent out elite troops, under the bombardment of the Northern Kingdom's artillery fire, the imperial army was still defeated in the end.

Seeing that the situation was so urgent, Emperor Xia even had the idea of ​​sending a grandmaster to help, but at this time, the Northern Kingdom's army in the east and west stopped advancing, as if they were waiting for something.

At the same time.

The capital of Qi State.

Lu Chen, with the farewell of the people of Qi State, embarked on the road to the south.

Lu Chen rode on a horse, looking towards the direction of the capital, and said to himself: "The king is back!" (End of this chapter)
