The strongest Marquis in history

Yan Chixing said: "Your Majesty came to Yangzhou, is he going to visit Yangzhou privately?"

Because Wang Qi's whereabouts had never been leaked, Yan Chixing now preconceived that Wang Qi wanted to make a private visit to learn about the current development of Yangzhou.

Wang Qi shook his head and said, "It's not a private visit by Weibo, it's that the war in Yangzhou is about to start now."

fighting?

Yan Chixing was taken aback for a moment.

Immediately, a flash of light flashed in Yan Chixing's mind, saying: "Your Majesty, could it be that the Japanese invaded?"

Apart from this, Yan Chixing couldn't think of other possibilities. Today's Yangzhou, the country is prosperous and the people are safe, and the people in the territory are attached to it. Everything is developing well. If there is a war, it can only be invaded by the Japanese.

Wang Qi shook his head and said, "It's not the Wa Kingdom, it's the Haixi Empire in the far west. The strength of the opponent is extremely tyrannical. If you don't have the army I brought, you can't stop it. Use. The opponent's weapon has been innovated. Also, where are the Wei Xun people?"

Yan Chixing heard a little strange, and even didn't understand that the troops under his command were all real elites and had enough fighting power, but Wang Qi said that his soldiers were invincible.

Yan Chixing did not refute, he said directly: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Wei Xun is now in the army. During this time, he is training the generals of the navy under his command. This is a regular thing."

Because Wei Xun was born as a scholar, he attached great importance to the soldiers of the navy.Especially in Wang Qi's army, everyone must be able to read and write, so his training for generals, not only military skills, but also military strategy, etc., as well as the essentials of water warfare, are all for Wei Xun to train. He has a lot of things to do.

Wang Qi said: "Send someone to notify Wei Xun."

"Yes!"

When Yan Chi was free, he quickly notified him.

It wasn't long before Wei Xun entered, and now Wei Xun is more mature.

When Wang Qi met Wei Xun back then, although he often hung out on the ferry pier and often went to sea, his skin was still slightly pale, and he looked like a scholar.Today's Wei Xun's skin has become bronze, with a touch of sophistication in his elegance.

At first glance, he has matured a lot.

When Wei Xun saw Wang Qi, he bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty!"

Wang Qidao: "Wei Xun, there is one thing that needs to be arranged by you."

Wei Xun immediately said: "Please give orders, Your Majesty."

He is only in command of the navy, and if he needs to use it now, he must sail on the sea.

This is his chance.

Wang Qidao: "Now, from the southern sea, or in the southern sea area where the country of Wa is located, an army will come soon. This army is extremely powerful in the sea, and their weapons are extremely powerful."

"You arrange sentries in the navy to go to the sea to inquire about news, and carefully watch the waters along the southeast coast. Once there are warships approaching on the sea, immediately return to notify."

"The navy on the water, they came from the Haixi Empire in the far west, and they want to invade our country of Qi. What you have to do now is to stare at each other and send back the news first."

"And, keep track of their whereabouts to ensure that we always know each other's situation."

Wei Xun was a little shocked when he heard it. He didn't expect the Haixi Empire to come.

But he thought for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty, I only have three thousand sailors, but my warships are strong. In addition, the soldiers can play a role in defending against the enemy. Even if the army from the Haixi Empire, the minister The navy can also fight."

Wang Qi shook his head and said: "Your warship is strong, and other people's warships are also extremely strong. In addition, your warship will be bombarded and sunk before it approaches."

"Your weapons are far from the opponent's weapons. This fight is not suitable for fighting on water. Now, you only need to be in charge of scouting for information."

"When you fight, you will know the opponent's strength and weapons."

"The current battle is overturning the fighting methods of the past dynasties, because the weapons of war have been innovated. This time, our country of Qi will also use new weapons."

Wang Qi paused for a while before saying again: "This time when I went south, I brought new weapons."

After hearing this, Wei Xun said: "Your Majesty's arrangement, I should obey the order. Next, I will immediately arrange sentries to go to the sea to watch the movement in the southern sea area. But this new weapon, can you let me have a look?"

Yan Chixing was also extremely curious, and said, "Your Majesty, I am also curious."

In the military tent, the generals under Yan Chixing's command all stared wide-eyed.Although they never spoke, when they looked at Wang Qi, there was curiosity in their eyes.

Wang Qi spoke with certainty and kept talking, but they didn't know it at all, they only knew that the so-called weapons were very powerful.

Hard to believe.

Wang Qi saw each one curious, with a look of disbelief and disbelief in his eyes. He laughed and said, "Forget it, since you are curious, let's demonstrate it. This time, let you know that there is a sky beyond the sky." There are people out there."

"Let's go!"

Wang Qi got up and walked outside the tent.

The rest of the people followed suit.

In fact, the [-] soldiers Wang Qi brought this time were equipped with more than a hundred mortars, and the shells of the mortars were more than enough.Even Chang'an in the rear will continue to manufacture weapons to ensure that the mortars have enough pills.

When Wang Qi arrived at the school grounds, he ordered the soldiers to bring out a mortar and go to the training ground of the rear army.

The camp is wide enough, with a distance of one or two miles.In addition, there are many archery targets, many weapons, and a large forest in the training ground.

Wang Qi asked the artillerymen to set up the cannon at a distance of about [-] steps from the woods.As the mortars were set up, Yan Chixing, Wei Xun and others were even more shocked.

They watched one by one, curious in their hearts.

What is this iron bump?

Besides, what is the round iron ball?

Everyone's mind was filled with countless confusions, and they couldn't figure out how to use this weapon.

Wang Qi didn't explain anything, and directly ordered the artillerymen to load the shells.As the cannonball was loaded into the barrel, Wang Qi had already retreated quickly to get out of the way.

Zhou Zishan also followed suit, covering his ears as well, and the rest followed suit.

boom! ! !

There was a loud noise, the smoke filled the air, and the ground began to tremble.The shell flew out, and in a blink of an eye, it landed in the woods.A deafening explosion sounded, and the flames burned.

The woods seemed to be hit by fire from the sky, just like the end of the world.

Trees were broken, and the soil was blown up.

Under the explosion of the shell, the trees burned directly, and the ground was even more potholed.

Gudong!

Seeing this scene, Yan Chixing couldn't help swallowing.At this moment, Yan Chixing was completely blown away, he really did not expect such an explosion.

Yan Chixing made a careful estimate. If he stood at the place where the explosion happened just now, he might be killed immediately, or even with no bones left. It is impossible for him to survive.

Once the soldiers marched together and the shells fell, they would die in pieces.

So brutal.

Wei Xun was also stunned.

His mind was still buzzing, affected by the sound of the explosion just now.In his pair of pupils, the burning forest in the distance is reflected.His cheeks twitched, and he said helplessly: "Your Majesty, I surrender."

The rest of the generals swallowed their saliva wildly, and they were all completely convinced.

Wei Xun said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I am convinced. If the warships of the Haixi Empire are also equipped with such weapons. After a few shots, the entire army of my warships must be wiped out."

Yan Chixing said: "If we don't have this weapon, we don't have Your Majesty. If we fight with the opponent, we will suffer heavy losses, and we can't even defend the city. This weapon is too powerful."

Everyone was talking in a hurry, and the expressions on their faces were extremely shocked.They are the chief generals in the army, and they have thought a lot.In this case, the weapons have changed.

The corresponding war has also changed accordingly.

Wang Qi nodded and said: "Now that you know this weapon, think about how to fight in the future. In addition, our weapons will be supplied on a large scale as much as possible."

"After this war, all major military regions will be equipped with new weapons. You will adapt quickly and change your combat habits. The weapons of the Haixi Empire are actually more advanced."

"Their rifles are even more powerful."

"Our advantage today is the asymmetry of information. We know that the opponent is coming, but they don't know that we are prepared. We use the opponent, and we don't know our strength, so we catch the opponent by surprise."

Wang Qi paused, and said forcefully, "This is an opportunity to reverse the situation."

"Yes!"

Yan Chixing, Wei Xun and others answered in unison.

Wang Qidao: "Let's go back to the camp, and then prepare separately. Wei Xun's here is to inquire about the news earlier. The sooner you inquire about the people of the Haixi Empire, the sooner you know the other party's situation, the sooner we will grasp it." initiative."

Wei Xun said: "I understand."

Chapter 803 Expeditionary Army

On the vast sea, the blue waves are vast, and the blue is as blue as washing.

As far as the eye could see, there was nothing but the blue sea.If you come to this sea for the first time, it is very pleasing to see the blue waves around you.However, after a long time, I have been looking at the blue sea, and I no longer have such joy. I only hope that I can get rid of the vast sea sooner.

On the sea, there are battleships one after another, cutting through the waves and moving forward continuously.

There are fifteen such warships.

The battleship at the forefront is the flagship.On the flagship, there is a big flag fluttering in the wind, hunting.The banner has a golden background, with a two-winged black dragon embroidered in the center.The black dragon's claws and dragon's mouth were blood red, and red flames spit out from its mouth, full of bloody killing intent.

This is the flag of the Hercynian Empire.

On the flagship deck, there were soldiers standing guard, and on the deck stood a middle-aged blond man with short hair and blue eyes.Dressed in military uniform, he stood solemnly.He had a serious expression on his face, looking into the distance, with a lot of anticipation on his face.

The man's name was Robert, he was nearly forty years old, with a beard under his chin, he looked rough and heroic.He looked at the middle-aged businessman at the side, and said, "Hadmon, how far are we from Qi?"

Next to Robert was Hadmon.

He is a merchant who travels to and from the sea.

Hadmond is very proficient in sailing at sea, and the soldiers of the Hercynian Empire have no experience in sailing so far for the time being, so Hadmond was recruited directly.

In fact, it was also because Hardmon went back and forth between Qi and the Hercynian Empire to do business, and brought back a large amount of wine, tea, and other silk cloth, paper, etc., which greatly shocked the Hercynian Empire.

Hardmond made money, and when the Hercynian Empire found out, they arranged for people to explore the sea routes, and finally recruited the very active Hadmond, preparing to invade Daqi in order to search for benefits.

Hardmond was recruited, and he knew everything and said everything.Because the empire has announced that as long as the territory of Qi is taken, the empire will gain a firm foothold in Qi. Once he wins, he can become the marquis of the empire.

Since then, the family has risen again.

In Hadmon's heart, he even hopes that he can easily crush Qi.

Hearing Robert's words, Hardmond said solemnly: "General Robert, the sea area we are in now is close to the southeast sea area of ​​Qi Kingdom, but this place is too remote and not the best place to land."

"To the east of this place, there is a country called Wa Kingdom. It is very primitive and weak. There is nothing worth mining and it is useless, so there is no need to stay."

"Now we continue to go north, and finally landed in Zhang'an County, Kuaiji County, Qi State."

"In Zhang'an County of Qi State, there is a ferry, which is suitable for warships to land and dock. As long as we land, we can plunder all the way to the north, or directly occupy Zhang'an County, and rely on it as a foundation."

Hadmond said: "In the future, we will be able to continuously obtain more specialties from Qi."

After hearing this, Robert raised his hand and touched the hooked nose. In the sunken eye sockets, the pupils rolled and shone coldly.After thinking for a while, he said: "This time, we will follow your suggestion. We will go to Zhang'an County to land and fight."

"The arrangement of the empire, this time, we are not only looting, but also occupying Qi's territory. Even in the end, we will turn Qi into our territory, an area where we are the masters."

"After we seize a place, we still need to support those who serve us. Only in this way can we truly gain a foothold and a long-term foothold."

Robert is very clear about the follow-up arrangements.

He is more confident.

He has nothing to worry about capturing Qi, but the governance is a little tricky.

Hadmon said: "General Robert is brilliant and mighty, you are a tiger general of the empire. This time, we won't have any major problems in conquering Qiguoji County. We will definitely win this battle."

Robert smiled and said, "Hadmon, behave well. After this war, you will be a nobleman of the empire."

"understand!"

Hadmond bowed, with a nodding gesture.

He is looking forward to the scene of winning the Qi State, when he will be able to run wild in Qi State and get countless benefits.After all, he knows Qi State well and can know everything about Qi State.

Robert stood on the flagship, with his hands on the side of the ship, looking at the blue sea, his deep eyes filled with anticipation and joy.

The empire has sent orders.

As long as he occupies Qi, he is the governor here and can hold great power.

This is a godsend.

He must grasp it.

When the battleship under Robert's command was rushing forward, he didn't know that there was a ship not far from him on the sea.

These ships, on the surface, are all fishing boats at sea.
