The Three Kingdoms

Zhuge nodded, but did not make a decision before Tai Shici.

He dispatched the Western Regions from the north and south of the Central Plains, and changed from a commander of a war zone to a chief of staff of a corps. The Military Aircraft Department somewhat suppressed his sharpness. After all, the previous Battle of Jieting, the Battle of Wuzhangyuan, and the Battle of Chang'an made him too sharp. Some people probably can't see it. eyes.

So he also restrained his strength appropriately.

……

The first battle in Mulu City started very quickly, and the fight was very intense, but it ended quickly, and lasted less than a day and a half.

No.40 and No.43 of the Snow Leopard Legion, the combined strength of the two armies is over 6. Compared with the main Anxi army of [-] in the city, plus tens of thousands of slaves, they are somewhat inferior in terms of strength.

However, no matter how many troops the Anxi Army has, it cannot hold back the sharp weapons in Wu Jun's hands.

Wu Jun first forcibly blew up the walls of Mulu City with black powder bombs, not only stripped off the coat of Mulu City with its high walls and thick walls, but also frightened the soldiers of the Parthian Army to collapse, and then drove straight in without hindrance.

In the frontal fight, Wu Jun pushed up a crossbow known as a harvesting machine on his hand. The crossbow bed of this kind of crossbow can be described as a tank among cold weapons.

The crossbow arrows they sent out were densely packed and killed a large area.

In the frontal hand-to-hand combat, Wu Jun's soldiers are basically armed to the teeth. The weapons, shields, helmets, armguards, leather armor, and combat boots in their hands are indispensable for every soldier.

Sun Quan invested so much military expenditure in the army every year, it was not a waste. The generals used by each soldier were light leather and iron armor, that is, leather armor with iron blocks on important parts.

This kind of leather armor is light and won't hinder combat, but it can also protect the body very well. It is expensive to make. The spears of Wu Jun's soldiers are uniformly made by the workshop of the Ministry of Industry, and they are not adulterated.

But the soldiers of the Parthian Army are different, even their noble soldiers are very simple, not many can wear armor, even fewer shields, most of them are long swords.

And the weapons of the slave soldiers are even more strange. They are all farm work guys, and they can be broken as soon as they are chopped.

After the war, after a round of harvesting of the Wu army's long-distance offensive weapons, and then being rushed by the Wu army's elite soldiers, after a little more than a day, this wooden deer city, which is known as the eastern fortress of the empire, has been captured.

"Report to the Deputy Commander, Anxi's remnant soldiers are fleeing westward in support of their commander-in-chief!"

Wenqin is very young. He was the candidate for the first martial arts examination in the Great Wu Dynasty. After Taishi Ci came to the west, he followed him all the time. He can be regarded as a military general of Taishi Ci's direct line. Now he is ranked No.40 as the deputy commander of the Second Army, No. 40 Commander of the Third Main Division of the Second Army.

The commander of the No.40 Second Army is Yan Xing, the deputy commander of the Snow Leopard Corps. He originally served as the deputy commander. Wen Qin personally handled many matters of the No.40 Second Army.

"Let them go, we only want Mulu City!"

Yan Xing knows the importance, and chasing the remnants is only a trivial matter. Standing firm in Mulu City is the main thing. Entering Mulu City is equivalent to gaining a firm foothold in the territory of the Anxi Empire: "Send our military orders, clean up the battlefield, and appease the hearts of the people. Three days of martial law!"

"Yes!"

Wen Qin nodded and left. (To be continued.)

[Text Chapter [-] Ma Chao Part [-]]

The battle to capture the Parthian Empire was raging in the Western Regions. In order to ensure the victory of this battle, and also to open the beginning of the Western Expedition to Rome, the Wu army did not hesitate to invest a whole three legions that had just been reorganized in this battle. .

The Sea Eagle Legion, the Snow Leopard Legion, and the Guanzhong Legion have a strength of four 10,000+ soldiers. For the Wu Dynasty, which has just completed the unification of the Central Plains, it is a big burden.

But this battle that has already started can only end with victory or defeat.

In today's imperial court, whether it is the Military Aircraft Department or the cabinet, the high-level ministers and generals are all staring at the result of this battle, and they dare not relax in the slightest.

However, for the people of the entire Central Plains, this bloody battle is indeed a bit out of reach.

The Western Regions are far away from the Central Plains.

If it weren't for the newspapers of the Military Machine Pavilion to keep up with the development of the Anxi battle and inform the world, I am afraid that many people among the people would not know that the newly reorganized Wu army has already broken out in an earth-shattering battle in the Western Regions.

In fact, for the people of the Central Plains, war is a very annoying thing, and they can even forget it.

In their hearts, the first year of Tianquan was the year when the Great Wu Dynasty ended the disputes and continued the turmoil of the princes of the world, allowing the people of the Central Plains to recuperate.

Since the Yellow Turban chaos, the Central Plains has been in turmoil for decades.

Disputes among the princes, bloody battles, countless young and strong people who died in battle, and these ordinary people suffered in the end, so when the Great Wu Dynasty ended all these turmoil, it was easy to be recognized by the people.

Because their hearts are too eager to have a unified and stable environment.

This year, more than half a year has passed. As the local systems of the Great Wu Dynasty began to be fully implemented one by one, countless policies promulgated by the Great Wu Cabinet were implemented locally, and the people everywhere began to gradually calm down from the panic. down.

The eyes of the settled people seem to be avoiding the war reports in the newspapers, and their minds are more focused on Jinling City, which is now the capital of the Great Wu Emperor.

Because at this time Jinling City was holding the civil and military imperial examinations in the first year of Tianquan.

"There is no age limit or qualification limit for this year's Imperial Examination. With such a great opportunity, I will go to Beijing to catch up with the exam even if it's a waste of time!"

"Imperial imperial examinations, no matter how poor you are, you should give it a try!"

"I have been studying hard for more than ten years, and I have been depressed. Now that Cao Wei has been destroyed, the aristocratic family has been suppressed, the court is fair, and it is for talents. The world's great imperial examinations are implemented. I should go south immediately and rush to Jinling City!"

"No matter how strong a ranger is, he's just a mediocre man. I've practiced martial arts for many years, and I'm familiar with the art of war. Since the imperial court holds martial arts examinations, I'll be able to gain a glorious reputation. If I can serve as a general in the army, I'm worthy of martial arts!"

"The Celestial Dynasty is going to hold a big imperial examination? Although my Xianbei tribe has been integrated into the Celestial Dynasty, countless warriors are quite neglected in the army because they do not use the Central Plains script. I have studied Chinese for many years, and I should fight for my Xianbei!"

"Boy, my southern barbarian land has always been regarded as a barbarian by the Central Plains. Now the leader is highly regarded by His Majesty, and the soldiers of the barbarian army have also integrated into the Wu army. But we have to fight for our breath. You must go all out for this imperial examination. Yang Wei of the Southern Man tribe!"

"..."

In June and July, the imperial court's announcement of the imperial examination was pasted in every city in the world. Students, rangers, and scholars from all over the world immediately became excited and were rushing to Beijing to take the exam.

The peaceful Jinling City ushered in the busiest time since the beginning of the new year of Emperor Tianquan.

----------------

August.

In the sky above Jinling City, a round of scorching fireballs shone its light. It was the end of midsummer and the beginning of autumn. It was still a sweltering hot weather. The hot air was mixed with the breathing air, suppressing countless people in this stalwart city. The enthusiasm of the people.

The enthusiasm of the people in Jinling City naturally comes from the civil and military imperial examinations that are in full swing.

"There are too many talents in this year's imperial examination. Three days ago, the Tianzihao examination room eliminated the exam. The great talent of Lao Huang's family who studied in Jinling Academy was eliminated. He is a great talent with a reputation as a scholar!"

"Who said no!"

"In the examination room of the martial arts examination yesterday, several martial arts students from the Jinling Lecture Hall were eliminated!"

"On the contrary, the girl from the Xu family in Lixiang entered the elimination exam five days ago and stood out from the crowd and entered the re-examination list. If she succeeds, she will be a bachelor!"

"Since Princess Yiyi, there have been quite a few female scholars, female Jinshi, and female university scholars, but they have never been out!"

"I don't know who can stand out!"

"This is the elimination exam, and the re-examination in September is called seeing the truth!"

"This year's imperial examination can be regarded as a battle between dragons and tigers!"
