Hearing Wu Xiong's words, even Zhou Long, who was used to big scenes, couldn't help but feel his heart beat faster.
In the past three years or so, as General Tiance who commanded the entire army of the Qian Kingdom, Zhao Kang had only been to the military camp once.
Forming what Wu Xiong calls the Flying Tiger Army, it was once the well-deserved ace in the artillery army of Shi Qianguo's army. It can hit wherever it goes with its cannon, sweeping through Zhou Qi without any defeat.
But ever since Zhao Kang established the Flying Tiger Army, the Artillery Army has been reduced to the second in command.
In these years of military exercises, they have achieved a terrifying record of victory in forty-three battles without any injuries.
No matter the Qian Kingdom or the Jing Kingdom, there is no one who can resist the Flying Tiger Army.
If you can't even fight, then how can you fight?
How fucking fun would it be if we pulled the Flying Tiger Army over and threw bombs on the enemy's heads?
Especially now, the Institute of Steam is studying how to load power devices on hot air balloons so that they can fly freely in the air.
And there is already a research direction. If this is successful, it will be even more exciting to carry out precision strikes on enemy command posts in the future.
Thinking about it, Zhou Long also became excited and said, "I will send a letter to Yangzhou to see if the Imperial Guard will agree to let the Flying Tiger Army come over."
Wu Xiong nodded and said with a smile, "Okay, I don't think there is any need to test them anymore. Now spread out the Ningzhou garrison, compress the enemy's space, continue to build defensive fortresses, and further block the enemy's attack route." ,what do you think?"
"Yes, it's best to force them to fight us head-on."
The two hit it off immediately and immediately went to work. Wu Xiong immediately mobilized Ningzhou's garrison.
And in Yangzhou.
Zhao Kang has also received news of the enemy's appearance, along with the equipment of Xia soldiers sent by Wu Xiong.
Looking at the crossbow in front of me, the style is similar to the one used by Qian Guo.
The quality of ironware is better, but that is only compared to the former Qian Kingdom.
"Husband."
With a soft call, I turned around to see Yes
Yufeng, Zhao Kang smiled and stretched out his hands to take the woman into his arms.
"This is?" Looking at the weapons and equipment on the table, Yufeng was a little surprised.
"Let Gongsun Yunxiu be right, the enemy is really coming from the east."
Resting his chin on the woman's shoulder, Zhao Kang smiled.
Qin Yufeng was slightly startled, "So, there's going to be another war?"
Ever since she met and fell in love with Zhao Kang, she had been by his side for the longest time. Looking back now, she realized that it seemed like the people around her were at war most of the time.
Zhao Kang squinted his eyes, "It's hard to say for the time being. Reports from the front line indicate that the enemy troops came from the Tianshan ridge behind Ningzhou."
"I sent people to investigate that place before. They said that after crossing the ridge, there is a wilderness shrouded in white mist. No one has come out after entering."
"I really don't know where these guys came from. The news says that these enemy troops are quite large in number and are quite well prepared."
Zhao Kang said with a smile, "This shows that these guys are coming to our Qian Kingdom. Either this Xia Kingdom knows something about us, or..."
"Is there a spy?" Yufeng asked in surprise.
"It's hard to say."
Zhao Kang murmured, "If there are spies, the enemy should be on guard against our firearms. They shouldn't charge straight to death. Speaking of which, I suddenly thought of a person just now."
Looking at Zhao Kang's expression, Yufeng already knew who he was thinking about, and said softly, "Is it Prince Ning?"
Even Xiao Linglong and Ye Hongxue, as the eldest and second eldest child, didn't know how Zhao Kang felt about this great enemy who was beaten to death by his own hands.
However, Yufeng knew very well that after destroying the Zhou Kingdom, in his free time, Zhao Kang would often go to the Noble Hall alone for a while and visit the former Prince Ning's Mansion.
look.
If Prince Ning had not had his own ambitions, if Zhao Kang had not fallen in love with Xiao Linglong.
The two of them were supposed to be like-minded friends.
After humming, Zhao Kang smiled and said, "That guy told me before he died that his female master Lu Xueying came from a country in the east."
"If someone surnamed Lu can come here, others can naturally do it, and it is estimated that the enemy coming this time may be from the country where Lu Xueying is located."
"If Feng Xian really becomes emperor, maybe the Qian Kingdom will already be fighting against the so-called Xia Kingdom."
If a second-grade strong man wants to become emperor and take revenge, then what else can the enemy be besides a country?
"How long will the beating last again?" Qin Yufeng asked with some reluctance, stroking her sweetheart's cheek.
Even if you don't do anything every day, it's nice to just be by his side like this.
After kissing the woman's soft little hand, Zhao Kang smiled and said, "I'll go and talk first. If they retract honestly, everything will be fine."
"On the other hand, if they are really coming for our country, then be prepared to be destroyed!"
At the end of the sentence, Zhao Kang's eyes revealed a hint of ferocity.
I finally managed to live a good life with my wife and children on the hot bed for a few days. You bastards have to come and disturb me, right?
If you delay me from having eight wives, I will kill you first!
The next day.
Zhao Kang came to the steam station and took Watt with him on a hot air balloon to the Ningzhou camp.
As for why Watt was brought along, it's not that there is any secret mission.
It's all because this guy developed a hot air balloon, and it's only available on the 18th.
If you take him on a flight, you should not encounter any accidents and your safety will be guaranteed.
In the Xia Kingdom military camp.
Pioneer General Dongfang Yue waited all night, but he didn't wait for the news from the people he sent out.
I can't help but feel a little suspicious in my heart. Even if we encounter an ambush, we should run back one or two, right?
Why is there no one there yet? Could it be that they have already fought? That shouldn't be the case! This is really weird.
Just when he was suspicious, the deputy general ran into the tent in a hurry, "General, something bad happened!"
"Say!" Dongfang Yue stood up.
"Our troops led by Du Yu, Zhang Lin, Guan'er and the others were all wiped out by the enemy!"
Dongfang Yue was stunned, "What did you say? They were all wiped out? No one survived?"
The deputy general looked a little excited, "Yes, no one survived, they all died!"
"How is this possible! Where are the bodies! Are you kidding me? More than 4,000 people are not alive. Are they pigs? Pigs will run away and squeal twice when they are killed! How could they all be wiped out!"
Dongfang Yue was very angry. Before the fight even started, more than 4,000 people were killed in just one wave of tests. How was this battle going to be fought?
How could something so outrageous happen!
So much so that he personally left to see where the lieutenant said the corpses were piled up.
Everyone saw a scene that they will never forget in this life.
The densely packed corpses looked charred and black, and the ground was covered with hands, feet and dried blood.
The ground was pitted, the armor was broken, and the torn corpses were like scattered puzzle pieces, formed into a mountain of corpses by the army.
Du Yu's head, which was beheaded by Qian Jun as a victory in battle, was standing at the highest point of the mountain of corpses. His face was full of horror and despair as he looked at Dongfang Yue and a group of vanguard generals who were coming.
Next to the mountain of corpses, a large flag was erected, whistling under the scorching sun and strong wind, and a few words on the flag could be vaguely read.
Anyone who offends our great cause will be punished no matter how far away they are.
