"Old poison, don't judge a gentleman's ambition by the heart of a villain." Hong Sheng was not very satisfied with Yan Kun's words and reminded him indirectly.

"The national teacher asked us to work together to serve the Northern Jin Kingdom because the kingdom can no longer withstand internal fighting and division. If internal fighting and division continue, what is the difference between us and Gu Zhu now?" He looked serious, "Do you know, with the current strength of Jinyuan, you really broke with the Shang family, what would the Northern Jin Kingdom look like?"

These words made Yan Kun feel a little embarrassed.

"That's right, Senior Yan, if Jinyuan really wants to seize the Shang royal power, I'm afraid that the Jinling brother and sister will have countless opportunities! They have saved their father's lives twice! I'm afraid that it's just the real son, that's all!" Shang Ran said.

When she mentioned her own son, she couldn't help but think of Shang Jiong again, and she missed the deceased elder brother very much. Then she thought of Shang Yu again, and she was quite hated.

"I think that the Jin Ling brothers and sisters are loyal to the Shang family, and now the Jin family's remnants are loyal to the Jin Ling. This should be a good opportunity for the Shang and Jin surnames to be completely reconciled." Hong Sheng said.

"Sooner or later, you will regret it!" Yan Kun said.

The three of them were discussing, and they heard Feng Yuelan’s urgent report outside the door: “Report to your Highness! There is an army in Ning Qingcheng leaving the city! Getting closer to us!”

Shang Ran quickly opened the door, walked out of the tent, and headed to the observation deck. As expected, the gate of Ningqingxian City, several miles away, was wide open, and a mighty army was leaving the city.

"Is Tian Fengsheng finally unable to bear it?" Shang Ran called the messenger, "Transfer all units of the army to be wary!"

"Your Highness, be careful! The opponent's troops are more than twice yours!" Hong Sheng said with concern, turning to Feng Yuelan and saying, "Girl Yuelan, we have no danger to defend. With few enemies, you must protect your highness's safety!"

"I know!" Feng Yuelan said, flashing the purple-light blade in her hand, "Who dares to hurt Your Highness, ask me the purple-light blade in my hand first!"

Hong Sheng turned to Yan Kun: "Old poison, our two old bones have just arrived here and are about to face a fierce battle. Don't die."

"I won't die if you die." Yan Kun said, "We both, and Yuelan girl, must protect Your Highness from all over the world!"

......

Tian Fengsheng, the newly appointed Minister of War, led a 100,000 army, plus the 50,000 garrison in the former Ningqingxian City, with a total strength of 150,000, which is more than twice the Northern Jin army opposite the battlefield.

However, due to the urgent situation, they rushed from Zhuxingcheng, a capital of hundreds of miles away. When they set out from Zhuxingcheng, they were light and simple. Each soldier brought the most basic food and light equipment. Therefore, after they arrived, they first entered the city to rest, eat, rest, and cultivated their energy and strength. Only then did they leave 20,000 people to defend the city, and the rest of the troops left the city, preparing to defeat the Northern Jin army, which had no danger to defend in one fell swoop.

Tian Fengsheng was very confident that he could win this battle. First, because the front report said that the Northern Jin army had only about 60,000 troops; second, because Tian Xingwen also told him that several Immortal Sect-level powerhouses in the kingdom were also hidden in the army and were ready to kill the Northern Jin general at any time; third, because the front report said that he knew that the Northern Jin army had no reinforcements.

The army gradually approached the barracks of the Northern Jin army. The opponent had already left the camp one by one, and set up defensive formations outside the camp.

"Do you think the Northern Jin army is trying to die?" Tian Fengsheng waved his sword and pointed at the other party, turned around and smiled at his subordinate generals, "There are only these people who dare to show off the decisive battle with our army!"

The subordinate generals also laughed and said, "The Northern Jin army is really a dying person! They sent their main force to our country to die! After encircling and annihilation, we can take advantage of the opportunity to enter, cross Lingshan, and attack Jinhua City, and turn the Northern Jin Kingdom into our territory!"

Stimulated by these words, Tian Fengsheng was also very excited, as if he had seen the glorious scene of his army marching south onto the battlefield. He pointed forward with his sword: "The whole army charges! One battle will be determined!"

Driven by him, the entire army shouted in unison and began to charge.

Seeing this momentum, the people in the Northern Jin Kingdom began to shake their hearts. After all, they were far away in other countries and had no support, and the number of people was far inferior.

"Soldiers, listen to my orders! Get ready to fight!" Shang Ran pointed his spear diagonally and shouted loudly.

The 60,000 soldiers in the entire army were also nervous and ready to fight.

Under the cover of one thousand swords and shield soldiers on the left and right, the two thousand Jinyuan New Army led by Jin Hei moved to the left and right sides of the main team, with one thousand people on each side. Their two lines, plus the main force of the Northern Jin army in the middle, were in a three-sided baggage.

All the new soldiers in Jinyuan had a fine iron musket (most of them were replaced by the Jinyuan musket team, and some were newly built), fifty packs of bullets, a bag of fire essence stone powder, and three fire thunders. This is their standard equipment.

At this time, all the new army soldiers were loading guns and ready to fight.

The Guzhu army on each side is divided into three groups, each of which is about 300 people, and three-stage shooting method is used to ambush. This is also the standard tactic of the Jinyuan Musketeers. At the same time, one group of shooting, one group of preparation, and one group of loading bullets and fire essence stone powder.

After estimating that the enemy had entered the range of the musket, Jin Hei raised the white flag in his hand, which was the purpose of attack. Seeing this signal, the new troops on standby on both sides pulled the trigger together!

Only a burst of heavy gunshots were heard, and balls of blood fog exploded from the soldiers of Guzhu's army who were walking in the forefront of the army, and then their bodies fell to the ground in pieces, screaming in pain.

This time, at least four or five hundred Guzhu officers and soldiers lost their combat power, and suffered heavy casualties, which also caused chaos in the formation of soldiers who were advancing later.

Immediately, the second volley shot came again, and a large area of ​​lonely bamboo soldiers fell in a pool of blood.

Then the third group...

The sudden and uninterrupted attack made the Guzhu army's vanguard army stunned. Especially their vanguard general was shot and killed in the first round of volleys, leaving the other soldiers without a leader and in a mess.

"What's going on? Now it's so far away from the Northern Jin army, it's not as far as the range of arrows!"

"Even if it is an arrow, how can you break the defense at such a long distance? Many dead and injured are immortals!"

"Freaky! It's really weird!"

......

Not to mention that Guzhu's army found it incredible, even the main army of Northern Jin was shocked.

Most of them saw the Jinyuan army's combat method for the first time. They had seen the Jinye and their subordinates carrying a strange thing on their backs, not a sword or a stick. They had also ridiculed them in secret. Now, when they saw its power, they were all shocked.

"Old Jianchi, what do you think those are?" Yan Kun asked with a frown, "Fire Machine Mechanism?"

"It is not an exaggeration to say it is a firearm mechanism." Hong Sheng said, "I heard that Jinyuan calls that thing a musket. This thing is made of fine iron and uses fine iron gun bullets. I just don't know what the reason for the excitation is, and it can actually have such a long range and such a powerful lethal force.
