An urgent report from Huangfu was delivered to Emperor Qianwu's desk.
After reading the contents of the emergency report, Emperor Qianwu frowned.
"Chen Jiande has just received Nangong Changming's request for help, and a thousand evil beasts attacked the city. Isn't it a coincidence? There must be something fishy in it!"
Gao Dali bowed and said: "I also feel that there is something wrong with this matter. I will immediately send people from Dongchang to investigate the matter!"
Emperor Qianwu nodded, rubbing his brows and feeling a little headache.
The emperor guarded the country, and the king died in the country. Such heroic words made him determined to fight against the barbarians.
But when the war really started, he found it very difficult.
No matter how good the idea is, there will always be various problems in its implementation. These days, he has been deploying troops and generals and arranging things to support the war with war.
The fierce reaction of the barbarians was beyond his expectation. Now that the war has begun, there is no way out and they can only fight to the death.
Sighing, Emperor Qianwu turned his attention to the emergency report again, and said with a smile: "This Xiaojiu can really surprise me again and again. The emergency report said that Xiaojiu secretly took action and I don't know what he used. The thing repels the evil beasts outside the deserted mansion, and it is said that there is a dense sound of thunder, and he did not bring the artillery when he left, so it seems that he is hiding something good!"
Hearing this, Gao Dali's heart tightened.
Could it be that Your Majesty is jealous again?
He raised his eyelids and observed Emperor Qianwu's expression, and after thinking about his words, he said: "It should be gunpowder, the same thing used to blow up Carp Mountain in Shangzhou. His Majesty knows this, and I believe that the Ninth Prince did not deliberately It means concealment."
After speaking, Gao Dali carefully observed Emperor Qianwu's expression.
Emperor Qianwu glanced at Gao Dali and cursed with a smile: "Slave dog, what are you thinking about? That bastard Xiaojiu wants to live in Baishi City for the rest of his life. He can even say such bastard words that the emperor's dogs are not worthy of him. How can I treat this? Is he suspicious?"
Ever since Li Changfeng came to the capital, he has been obsessed with making money. He has never dealt with the civil and military officials of the DPRK and China and formed cliques for personal gain. What can he think?
Even when it came to setting up the artillery camp, he had to rush Li Changfeng to get it started, and he only went there every now and then. He didn't care at all and had to be pushed by him from time to time.
Emperor Qianwu even hoped that Li Changfeng could covet the position of unification and perform well and make great achievements like other princes.
As for Li Changfeng's reaction to the thing that could also make the sound of thunder, Emperor Qianwu took it for granted that it must be related to gunpowder, but the technology was not mature enough, so the former did not tell him.
Otherwise, given Li Changfeng's greedy temperament, why not quickly take it out and negotiate terms with him and sell it to Da Gan to make money?
Seeing Emperor Qianwu say this, Gao Dali breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and said: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Emperor Qianwu did not continue this topic, and sighed and said: "Without this kid Xiaojiu bickering and arguing with me all day long, I am really not used to it. Speaking of which, that kid has been away from the capital for some time. I don't know how the matter will be handled. That’s it.”
Gao Dali smiled and said: "Your Majesty, why should you be in a hurry? Your Majesty will definitely return to Beijing immediately after handling the matters over there."
Emperor Qianwu smiled coldly and said: "What nonsense are you talking about? When that brat was in the capital, he thought about returning to Baishi City all day long. He was afraid that he might not want to come back even after the matter was settled. He could delay it for one day."
Gao Dali laughed dryly: "It's not impossible."
"Hmph!" Emperor Qianwu snorted coldly: "Pass on my decree and let that brat return to the capital immediately after dealing with the spies in Baishi City!"
Now Daqian and the barbarians have started a war. Although there are heroic words, the battlefield is familiar with the ever-changing changes. No one can say whether the strategy of using war to support war will succeed.
Therefore, it is the most important thing at the moment to allow the artillery battalion to form a combat effectiveness that can change the situation of the war.
And to complete this matter, no one else but Li Changfeng can do it.
Therefore, Emperor Qianwu was always looking forward to Li Changfeng's return to Beijing as soon as possible.
Gao Dali bowed and said: "I obey the order!"
Gao Dali was about to draft the decree, but was stopped by Emperor Qianwu: "Let me keep a close eye on the Beijing Scientific Research Institute. Not even a fly can fly in, to ensure that the secrets inside are foolproof. Also, Xiaojiu's industry We’re all keeping a close eye on it, and if anyone dares to cause trouble secretly, I’ll deal with it severely, lest that brat come back and complain about me!”
…
Two days after the imperial edict was sent out, and before it reached Baishi City, another urgent report from Baishi City was delivered to Emperor Qianwu's desk.
When Emperor Qianwu saw at least 10,000 evil beasts gathering to attack the city, he couldn't help being frightened. He sat up from the dragon chair and exclaimed again and again.
"So many evil beasts?!"
"This is too abnormal!"
"How can Baishi City resist?!"
When Emperor Qianwu conquered the world, he never saw any big storms or waves. His magnanimity and magnanimity were unparalleled. His attitude never changed even when Mount Tai collapsed in front of him.
It was the first time that Gao Dali saw such a lapse in behavior. He couldn't help but look surprised and asked: "Your Majesty, how many evil beasts are there?"
"According to the report, there are at least 10,000 heads!"
"What!?"
Gao Dali screamed in surprise, his face instantly turned pale, and he quickly asked: "Your Majesty, are you okay?!"
He has seen how tall and majestic the walls of Baishi City are, and he also knows that there are artillery garrisoned in Baishi City, but those are ten thousand evil beasts!
Such a terrifying number of evil beasts, not to mention White Rock City, even the capital may not be able to withstand it. The corpses alone are enough to pave a slope towards the top of the city wall.
If the city is really destroyed, can Li Changfeng survive?
Emperor Qianwu glanced at Gao Dali, swallowed hard, and said in disbelief: "Changfeng is fine, not even a single evil beast attacked the city wall, the casualties were almost negligible, and a total of 4,842 were killed. In addition to the heads that were blown to pieces and cannot be counted, it is conservatively estimated that five thousand evil beasts were killed!"
Gao Dali's figure swayed, and he fell into a sluggish state. He shook his head and murmured to himself: "How is it possible! How is this possible? Those are ten thousand evil beasts! More than half of them were killed or injured. Is this possible for a human to do this?" Could it be that His Highness the Ninth Prince is really a god descending to earth?!"
Emperor Qianwu couldn't believe it either.
But there were two urgent reports in total.
One was sent by the master of Ouchi, and the other was sent by the Royal Forest Army.
Although the two emergency reports are expressed in different ways, their main contents are completely the same, which is enough to prove the authenticity of this emergency report.
Emperor Qianwu believed that no one would dare to deceive him, no matter whether it was a master in the imperial court or a member of the Royal Forest Army. So many people had seen it, and it would be too simple to investigate and verify.
But it’s too unbelievable!
Emperor Qianwu took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and read it carefully from beginning to end, with a look of surprise gradually appearing on his face.
The report said that the city walls were filled with flames and the sound of thunder was heard all night long.
When they clearly felt that the evil beasts were approaching the city wall, the sound of thunder that was slightly different from before was heard one after another, and a large number of evil beasts screamed and roared.
After dawn, when they walked out of White Rock City to collect the corpses of the evil beasts, they found a large number of steel arrows as thick as arms inserted into the corpses of the evil beasts.
They concluded that it was fired by a ballista, and said that such a powerful ballista was something they had never heard of or seen.
Moreover, they also found that there were steel balls, iron nails and other things inside the corpse of the evil beast, and they didn't know how they got there.
Through these details, Emperor Qianwu roughly understood how Li Changfeng resisted the beast tide, and he suddenly became a little excited.
"Okay! Okay! Okay!"
Emperor Qianwu shouted hello three times in a row, and immediately said to Gao Dali: "I will issue another imperial edict and ask Xiaojiu to return to Beijing immediately. There must be no mistake!"
Such an achievement is really brilliant!
Although he had seen the power of artillery before, he had no idea how to use this strategic weapon in actual combat.
Li Changfeng's repelling of a beast tide of more than 10,000 animals this time was undoubtedly an extremely successful actual battle and has very important reference significance.
If an artillery battalion is built according to this idea, the combat effectiveness will be astonishing. What does a mere barbarian mean?
Moreover, Emperor Qianwu wanted to get his hands on another secret weapon made of explosives and Li Changfeng's terrifyingly powerful ballista.
Although Gao Dali did not see the specific content of the urgent report, he understood what Li Changfeng's brilliant record represented and was very excited.
"Your Majesty, this old slave will deliver the order right now!"
…
White Rock City.
Li Changfeng has received the first imperial edict from Emperor Qianwu.
Now he didn't want to go back, so he said that the spy matter hadn't been found out yet, so he tried to pass it off.
The eunuch who delivered the edict had no choice but to put aside the imperial edict and return to Beijing to resume his duties.
Not long after, the members of the Survey Corps returned.
To Li Changfeng's disappointment, the survey corps did not find any clues.
Li Changfeng had no choice but to convince himself that this matter involved a transcendent existence like the Barbarian God.
At this time, the second imperial edict came again.
The wording of the imperial edict this time was much more severe and urgent than the last time. Li Changfeng knew that he could no longer stay in Baishi City.
Before leaving, Li Changfeng went to the backyard pond to meet the old monster and told him to take care of the scientific research institute.
The old monster did not comment on this, but asked that Wang Tiezhu be kept here and that he should teach him carefully.
Li Changfeng thought for a moment and then agreed. He told Wang Tiezhu not to forget to learn the barbarian language, and then sent some thunder cavalry to garrison the oil fields, and then set out for the capital under the protection of the imperial guards and Ouchi guards.
Although the beast tides that occurred one after another in Huangfu and Baishi City were sent to Emperor Qianwu in the form of secret reports, it was impossible to hide such a big thing, and it soon became known to everyone.
It was enough for Li Changfeng to fight off the evil beasts in Huangfu. After all, the number was only a thousand, which was not too large to be accepted.
But repelling a beast tide of more than 10,000 in White Rock City was truly terrifying, and everyone who heard the news was greatly shocked.
After hearing the news, Li Chengye felt huge waves in his heart. He was stunned on the spot. It took him a long time to come back to his senses.
He immediately sent someone to invite his uncle Murong Changkong over. Murong Changkong also had a look of shock that could not be concealed on his face.
