Yuan Shao gritted his teeth with hatred and almost fell down as he staggered. Fortunately, General Wen Chou was beside him.
Wen Chou supported Yuan Shao and comforted him: "Lord, please calm down. After we take Dingjun Mountain, we will find an opportunity to settle things with Thief Dong."
"..."
Yuan Shao glanced at Wen Chou, gritted his teeth and nodded, then forced himself to stand firm, holding the sword firmly in his hand.
In fact, among the various princes present, it was not just Yuan Shao who made a fool of himself, the others were not much better either.
Everyone was holding on forcefully, everyone was itching with hatred, and they were all waiting for an opportunity to find Dong Zhuo to settle the matter.
...
The scene in front of the village amused Cao Ning.
He had just gotten up and washed up, and sat on the watchtower with great interest, eating hand-pulled bread and looking at the massive 19th Route Princes Alliance Army outside the stronghold.
At this moment, he seemed to be an outsider, just watching the fun.
"Hahaha... These fools must be dumbfounded. They have to dig out all the corners of their house. It's really embarrassing."
"Why are you still smiling? Even if you are embarrassed, don't forget that these hundreds of thousands of people are here for you."
When he learned that the village was surrounded, Kong Ming rushed around anxiously and was about to discuss countermeasures with Cao Ning, but he didn't expect that he found a good place to watch the show.
"Hey, Lao Kong, don't be so nervous. What a big deal, come on, come on, have some bread."
Cao Ning pulled Kong Ming to sit down, but was pushed away unexpectedly.
Kong Ming said anxiously with a serious face: "This is so urgent, how can you still be in the mood to eat?"
"I ask you, how do you plan to face the enemy? You don't necessarily want to imitate my empty city strategy, do you?"
"Then I advise you to give up this idea!"
"Sima Yi and I had a tacit understanding at the beginning! If he destroyed me, Emperor Wei would definitely not reuse him again, and he would even end up being killed. That's why he withdrew his troops sadly."
"But now, if you look at the entire spiritual realm, is there anyone who can compete with Thief Dong?"
"Cao Ning, Cao Ning, you must not play with fire and burn yourself."
When Kong Ming learned that there were only more than a thousand soldiers in the stronghold, he broke out in a cold sweat.
After all, the opponent has an army of 120,000 people. If they really fight, there is absolutely no chance of winning.
For this reason, he specially ran over to find Cao Ning, but he didn't expect that he would be eating bread leisurely and contentedly as if nothing had happened.
It really echoes the old saying, "The emperor is not in a hurry, but the eunuch is."
Seeing Kong Ming so worried, Cao Ning felt happy in his heart.
This shows that after this period of getting along, Kong Ming has already acquiesced in the relationship between them, and there is even a trend of further development.
So Cao Ning didn't want to talk to him anymore, and took his arm and walked out of the watchtower directly.
Kong Ming was immediately confused: "You, what are you doing? Leaving the formation before the battle will have an impact on morale."
"Hey, Lao Kong, don't think things are so bad. I'll take you to see something good."
After that, Cao Ning took Kong Ming to the cave where the giant ship was hidden, "Didn't you ask me what my confidence is? Well, that's it!"
"This, this, this is a boat?"
Kong Ming was stunned for a long time before he realized that the huge thing in front of him was actually a boat.
Cao Ning nodded, pointed at the giant ship and introduced: "This is indeed a ship, but now it has a better name, called Black Flagship, which is also the flagship of our Black Flag Army."
"Black flagship?"
Kong Ming looked at the black skull and crossbones flag flying on the ship's board and understood immediately.
I'm sorry Cao Ning said he wanted to be a pirate, he really wasn't just talking about it.
"That's right, it's the black flagship!"
Cao Ning nodded and pointed to the dark iron pipes on both sides of the ship: "Old Kong, do you still recognize those things?"
"That's... a combat anti-cannon?"
Kong Ming was immediately shocked!
He was very familiar with seeing these bulky big guys.
Outside the Guimen Pass, Cao Ning relied on these things to defeat and cripple the 10,000 Japanese army.
"You don't want to use these things to deal with Dong Zhuo, do you?" Kong Ming said in surprise.
If these things are used, Kong Ming can't guarantee that the coalition forces can be completely disabled, but it is absolutely impossible for Dong Zhuo to win.
Cao Ning smiled and nodded: "Actually, it's more than just that!"
"Originally, I planned to install more powerful naval guns on it, but unfortunately I didn't. Adding cannons would be too bulky and seriously affect the ship's speed."
"So after much deliberation, I installed eight combat anti-cannons on it, as well as more than thirty Gatling firepower points."
In fact, Cao Ning's modified giant ship has far more functions than that.
On the basis of the original giant ship, he not only added power tires to enable land navigation.
Moreover, even the hull of the ship is welded with a layer of iron sheet, making it invulnerable to ordinary swords and guns, and its impact capability is also guaranteed.
In this way, Cao Ning's black flagship can achieve amphibious operations whether on land or at sea.
If they encounter a large-scale cavalry, the opponent will only be crushed.
"Three...more than thirty?"
Kong Ming couldn't help being surprised when he heard Cao Ning's words.
He has personally operated Gatling, which is not only powerful but also extremely damaging.
On the hilltop outside Guimen Pass, they only had a few people, four or five Gatlings, but they had already defeated ten thousand Japanese troops and could not find their way north.
Now Cao Ning actually threw dozens of them. If they opened fire all at once, the coalition forces outside the stronghold would be left waiting to die.
At this time, Kong Ming could already picture in his mind the scene of Dong Zhuo and his group abandoning their armor.
Having said this, Cao Ning still seemed a little dissatisfied.
He sighed and whispered with some disappointment: "Actually, according to my idea, I also want to install another batch of intercontinental missiles, but it's a pity that time is too tight."
"zhou..."
Hearing this, Kong Ming almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
A black flagship is enough to sweep across the spiritual realm. Do you want to install intercontinental missiles?
Then should we let others live?
Seeing that Kong Ming was serious, Cao Ning put his arm on his shoulder and said with a smile: "Hahaha...relax old Kong, I'm just saying this. This thing has not been popularized yet. If you want to develop it, you still need to
Take some time.”
"..."
Kong Ming rolled his eyes: "Okay, I know you are powerful. Please, while you are powerful, can you give others a way to survive? I wouldn't let anyone do this to you! It's too hateful!"
Cao Ning smiled awkwardly and scratched his head: "Well... well, I'm actually very restrained, but as you know, I have nothing wrong with me, I'm just too good."
"..."
Kong Ming took a deep breath, turned around and left.
If he continued chatting with Cao Ning, he was really afraid that he couldn't help but slap him.
