About half an hour, Li Changfeng led a large army to arrive.
Although Nangong Changming had never seen Li Changfeng, he still recognized him at a glance.
I saw a man riding a horse and wearing a python robe. Although his face was windy and frosty, he was energetic and extraordinary. The handsome flag behind him fluttered in the wind.
Obviously, this is Li Changfeng.
"We've all followed, give me a respectful attitude!"
Nangong Changming shouted softly and walked quickly towards Li Changfeng.
Li Changfeng was also observing Nangong Changming.
Nangong Changming was wearing black armor and holding a spear. A scarlet cloak floated behind him. His face was dark and calm, his eyes were sharp and firm, and his every move was quite like a general.
"The last general Nangong Changming, pay homage to His Highness the Ninth Prince!"
Nangong Changming bowed to his head with full courtesy, and the generals did not dare to neglect and followed them to pay tribute.
Li Changfeng narrowed his eyes slightly.
On the front battlefield, the general called him the Ninth Prince instead of his military post, and the meaning contained in it was already very obvious.
Nangong Changming looked calm, but he couldn't tell anything.
But the disdain and unwillingness that the many generals behind him could not hide was just enough to prove his thoughts.
However, Li Changfeng had no idea of calculating them.
It is normal to have this kind of idea. They will later know what short-sightedness means, what awesomeness means, and what a miracle means.
And no matter what, these people have fought hard to defend the southern portal of Daqian.
They deserve respect.
So Li Changfeng did not show off his marshal's airs at all, and quickly jumped off his horse, walked quickly to Nangong Changming and helped him up.
"General Nangong, please get up quickly!"
Then look at the other generals.
"God of generals, please get up!"
Just then, a familiar voice came.
"Your Highness the Ninth Prince, you are finally here!"
Li Changfeng looked in the sound and saw Chen Jiande walking towards him quickly with joy. He looked a little dusty.
"Old Chen, are you here too?" Li Changfeng was a little surprised.
"Can you not be here? The Nanman has reached Zhennan Pass, how can I sit still?"
As he said that, Chen Jiande had already arrived in front of Li Changfeng and knelt down on the ground, bowing and saying, "Your Highness, oh no, Marshal, you will be saved when you come to Zhennan Pass. The Nanman is dead!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Nangong Changming's expression remained unchanged, but the disdain on the faces of the generals under his command could no longer be concealed, and he secretly scolded Chen Jiande as a backboneless dog.
Li Changfeng helped Chen Jiande up and said with a smile: "Okay, stop talking about these things, get up quickly."
After Chen Jiande stood up, Nangong Changming bowed and said, "Your Highness has been exhausted all the way and has prepared a banquet house. Please go to the city to rest."
Li Changfeng waved his hand: "No need, enter the city. I want to see the situation in the city and then climb up to the city wall to see."
This move made Nangong Changming feel a little bit favorable.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Nangong Changming personally led the way forward, and the army led by Li Changfeng into the city. The generals and soldiers of Zhennan Pass saw the black, thick and long barrel-shaped thing in the middle of the team, which looked like metallic texture.
Curious, he started to talk in a low voice.
"What's this, so weird."
"Your Highness the Ninth Prince doesn't want to use these things to defeat the evil beasts and the barbarian army?"
"How is this? What's the use of this thing!"
Although Nangong Changming was dissatisfied, he still fulfilled his responsibilities in accordance with the will and introduced Li Changfeng to the current situation in Zhennan Pass while guiding the way.
"Your Highness, there are currently 140,000 soldiers in Zhennan Pass, of which more than 30,000 were injured and unable to enter the battle, more than 90,000 arrows, and 179 crossbows, but less than 100 long crossbows, and fifty catapults.
Three cars…”
With Nangong Changming's introduction, Li Changfeng's expression became more and more serious, and he felt a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.
There are more than 90,000 arrows, which seem to be quite large in number, but they are almost useless for creatures like evil beasts with thick skin and flesh.
Unless it can shoot into their eyes.
But this is an evil beast, not an ordinary beast, so how can it be so easy to shoot into their eyes?
A crossbow cart can effectively kill evil beasts, but the number is pitifully small. The most important thing is that there are less than a hundred long crossbows. How to fight?
As for the fifty-three catapults, because of their low launch efficiency and the stones flying too slowly, they are basically useless.
The situation in Zhennan Pass was worse than he thought.
When entering the city and the scene that caught his eye made Li Changfeng feel even more heavy.
The city is not big, and more than 30,000 wounded soldiers cannot be placed in the house at all. Under the eaves of the streets, soldiers were wailing everywhere.
The whole city was filled with a pungent smell of blood.
When he arrived in front of the city wall, Li Changfeng couldn't help but thrust his face.
Although the city wall of Zhennanguan is incomparable to that of Baishi City, after being reinforced by two dynasties, it is much stronger than the city walls of other cities.
But at this time it seemed a little dilapidated, with gaps everywhere, and there were even risks of collapse in some places.
With such a city wall, it is almost impossible to withstand another wave of attacks from the evil beast.
As we climbed the city wall, a pungent smell of blood and the stench of corpses swelled up, almost causing Li Changfeng to vomit on the spot.
Looking around.
There are many corpses of evil beasts under the city wall, and many incomplete human corpses with obvious signs of biting and eating.
Judging from the clothes left on the corpse, they all belong to Daqian soldiers.
Obviously, the barbarian army drove these evil beasts to attack the city.
Nangong Changming looked at the corpses under the city wall and said in a low tone: "These are all good men of my Daqian, but I am incompetent, so I can't even save a complete corpse for them!"
The other generals looked at the corpses under the city walls, and were also angry and sad.
Li Changfeng sighed and said, "Don't worry, I will avenge them."
Nangong Changming was stunned for a moment and bowed, "Your Highness, we have repelled the evil beast attack two days ago. According to previous experience, the next attack is coming soon. What should we do now?"
As soon as this said, the generals and the soldiers on the city wall all turned their eyes to Li Changfeng.
Some sneer, some disdain, and some expressionless.
Li Changfeng looked around everyone, saw their expressions in his eyes, and said loudly: "All the troops led by me will go to the city wall, the soldiers of the former Zhennanguan will go down to rest in the city!"
Nangong Changming was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly bowed: "Your Highness, your highness has only more than 30,000 troops in your hometown. How can you resist the evil beasts come to kill?"
Li Changfeng didn't explain, and his face darkened: "Is General Nangong going to disobey his orders in front of the formation?"
Nangong Changming bowed quickly: "I dare not, but Zhennan Pass is my gateway to the south. Once the Nanjie Beast and the Nan barbarians lose their way, they will drive straight in. At that time..."
Nangong Changming was anxious!
Although he didn't like Li Changfeng and did not think that Li Changfeng had the ability to retreat to the enemy, disobedience in front of the formation would have a great possibility of ruining his future.
But he was loyal to Emperor Ganwu, loyal to Dagan, and cared about the people, and did not want Zhennan Pass to fall.
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Li Changfeng.
"General Nangong!"
Li Changfeng looked serious: "I know all the princes you said. Don't worry, the evil beast is not worth worrying!"
After pausing, Li Changfeng's expression calmed down a little and whispered: "General Nangong, I am here, how could I make a joke about my life? Brothers have been fighting for so long, so let them have a good rest. ”
Nangong Changming looked tangled: "But..."
Li Changfeng shouted coldly: "Execute the order of the commander!"
"Why!"
Nangong Changming sighed, slapped hard and repelled, and roared at the generals.
"Why are you still standing there? Execute the order!"
The generals stared at Li Changfeng with gritted teeth, but Nangong Changming said so, and he still carried out the military order in angrily.
Li Changfeng looked at them without saying a word, and ordered to the followers behind him: "Put all the artillery and ammunition up, let the people in the musket camp bring explosives and prepare fuses, and all of them climb to the city wall."
"promise!"
The follower responded and stepped back.
Soon, the soldiers of the artillery battalion, with uniform horns in their hands, walked heavy steps, and in groups of more than a dozen people, carrying one cannon after another to the city wall.
Nangong Changming, who was sulking beside him, was stunned for a moment after seeing this scene.
"What's this?"
Chen Jiande came to him, patted his shoulder and smiled, "General Nangong, this is His Highness the Ninth Prince's magic weapon to win. With them, no matter how many evil beasts come, it will be a dead end. You can rest assured to let the soldiers under your command rest. ”
Nangong Changming was stunned again.
After a moment, he asked tentatively: "Is this the secret weapon in the legendary imperial village of the capital?"
Chen Jiande said: "I don't know if it is a secret weapon in the imperial village of the capital, but I know that these things can kill evil beasts, and the Ninth Prince's trump card is more than these. Last time the Wilderness Mansion was besieged by evil beasts, I can still go forward in time.
Come to support, do you think I killed the evil beast?"
Nangong Changming widened his eyes: "What do you mean... His Highness the Ninth Prince retreated?"
"Otherwise? Or do you think our Majesty is so stupid that he can send a useless person to lead the army?"
Nangong Changming was stunned for a moment, glanced at the cannon with a lot of visual impact, then looked at Li Changfeng who was commanding, and looked at him carefully.
...
"Jianye, the artillery recoil is quite strong, and it must be built and firmly built. You cannot let them run around with just one shot. You must ensure that you can shoot continuously!"
"All shells are moved to the city walls, and the number is sufficient. Don't be reluctant to leave. The research institute is working overtime to rush to make the production, and it will be delivered continuously in the future!
"Where are the people from the Musket Camp? I put all the explosive bags on my prince. Don't forget to have a shovel. If anyone doesn't bring them, I will use my hand to dig them!"
"And you guys, don't you know what is in the box? Take it easy!"
Li Changfeng was in an orderly manner on the scene, without any worry or panic. The soldiers under his command were calm and even looked a little expectant.
Nangong Changming was stunned when he saw this scene.
seem……
His Highness the Ninth Prince is not that unbearable.
