one step closer to the end

"Ok!"

Jia Bujia poked his head over and said, "That's right! Sure enough, it's like a fish falling into a wild goose. You've made a lot of money, kid. This time Jiguo didn't cheat you!"

"You can tell that Shen Yuluoyan is coming, Hongluan will give you a red envelope..."

Zhao Guanren said angrily: "This kind of ink painting is all the same model. If the official document of the arrest is issued at this level, no one will find the fugitive lying on the street. Look at the body proportions. Is this a human? Monkey It's perfect!"

"At least it's not a big fat pig, everyone in Ji country knows that you don't like fat..."

Emperor Shunyao laughed and said: "Jiguo calls the princess Di Ji, and the third emperor Ji is the concubine's daughter. It is said that she is both talented and beautiful, but she has always lived in seclusion and few people have seen her. Besides, Jiguo knows that you like big or small. , so this Third Empress is a bit older than you!"

"Tch~ She's an old girl, but no matter how old she is, she can't be older than Seventeen..."

Zhao Guanren curled his lips in disdain. Who knew that Emperor Shunyao didn't speak anymore. Zhao Guanren suddenly stood up in shock and said, "No way? Seventeen is already thirty. If she's older than her, wouldn't she be running around? Do you want me to marry an old lady?"

"No! She's younger than Seventeen, four years younger..."

Emperor Shun Yao frowned and said: "It's just that this girl is a bit weird. She is different from Shi Qi. At the age of 26, she neither marries nor sees anyone. She has been living alone in a private house outside the palace. But Ji Guo can't fool you with ugly ghosts, and Let her come to receive you, saying that it is to cultivate feelings first!"

"Damn! Living alone outside the palace, I'm afraid it's a broken shoe..."

Zhao Guanren looked suspicious, but Emperor Shun Yao slapped the table and said: "If you dare to insult you with broken shoes, you can go to the palace and scold the eighteen generations of Ye family ancestors in front of all civil and military officials. You seek justice, we Dashun do not want to fight, but we are not afraid of war!"

"Okay! Your Majesty's words are tough, dare to insult me, no one can have a good life..."

Zhao Guanren also slapped the table and burst out laughing. After the four of them had a secret discussion for a while, they got up and prepared to go to the welcome banquet, but Emperor Shunyao suddenly grabbed Zhao Guanren and secretly asked, "Yunxuan! Tell me Honestly, who is Shiqi's child?"

"My seed, the soul of the dragon, otherwise it will be a monster..."

Zhao Guanren flickered earnestly, and Emperor Shun Yao frowned and said: "Seventeen is now in full swing, and the civil and military courts of the whole dynasty are full of praise. There is a tendency to praise her as the number one queen in the ages. Just now, the master is also praising her. This matter... …What do you think?"

"I don't participate in this kind of thing. If the trip to Jiguo goes well, I might go back here..."

Zhao Guanren patted his hand and walked out. Then he rested in the town for two days. Emperor Shun Yao sent [-] troops to escort them out of the customs.

A large number of civilians moved the supplies, and the speed of the march was much faster. Three days later, they arrived at the border of the Kyrgyz country. The Kyrgyz country sent [-] cavalry to meet them. The two sides handed over prisoners on the former battlefield. People and horses.

"Oh~ I still have to walk for more than half a month, I'm really exhausted..."

Luo Tan sat outside the tent and sighed, the two countries were separated by a land that didn’t care about the boundaries, and the scenery of the rolling mountains was pretty good, but it took three days to formally enter the customs, and it would take half a month to reach the imperial city of Ji Kingdom. There are no more than two trips a year.

"Master Qiu! Why are you back? Didn't you go to receive the envoys..."

Bai Yu raised his head from the horse stool, and Qiu Ning came over with an oil lamp, and said with a wry smile, "Ji Guomin is too open-minded, and brought a group of dancers in to accompany the wine. He didn't drink a few glasses of wine, but he took off his clothes." It's almost the same, it's really inconvenient for me to be a woman!"

"Didn't talk about business tonight..."

Luo Tan waved Bai Yu into the tent, and Qiu Ning sat beside her and said, "What are you talking about! Those who can make decisions in Jiguo are all in the imperial city. Today is just a polite contact. I didn't say anything serious, but I was arrested." Two dominatrixes for the master to play with, the ones with red hair and green eyes!"

Luo Tan was surprised and said: "You are talking about Fanbang orchids, right?"

"No! How can I never see Hu Ji..."

Qiu Ning said: "It is said that she is a female savage from the Yasha country. She looks like a human being, but the white skin is like a ghost, the hair is like fire, and the eyes are green. The adults are cursing bad luck behind their backs." , let people be locked in a cage and wait for the master to deal with it, it's disgusting!"

"Auspicious country is really uncivilized, even the savages are caught as a gift..."

Luo Tan curled his lips in disdain, and said narrowly: "Little hoof! You will suffer tonight, the little princess has already started to mess around, and when the master comes back from drinking, let her get up and down, and you will definitely be excused." Huo, just wait and drink her footwashing water!"

"Cut~ Doesn't she also drink our footwashing water, she also drinks the water for washing pots..."

Qiu Ning rolled her eyes contemptuously, turned her head and smiled and said, "Sister Baiyu, you and sister will be tied together tonight, I just got a box of gold jewelry, you can choose some later!"

"I won't go! The master must drink too much tonight, and he will go up if he has too much. Don't drag me to cry together..."

Bai Yu came out and shook her head in fear, but before Qiu Ning could say anything, she suddenly heard a muffled rumbling sound, like a wave rolling in, she quickly jumped up and wondered, "What's going on, why are there so many people?" hooves?"

"Bang bang bang..."

A series of red signals shot into the sky, and the entire camp in the valley erupted in an instant. The dragoons ran out frantically, followed by the sound of horns and cannon fire. Qiu Ning finally changed his face and said, "Oops! The Ji people attacked!" camp!"

Chapter 0534

The camp is set up in a basin, the mountain is not high and it extends in all directions. This kind of place is too spacious. It is not suitable for a large army to station, but no one thought that under the eyes of Jishun and Shun, there would be cavalry to launch a surprise attack .

"Dong dong dong..."

More than a dozen unconscionable cannons fired wildly, and the huge explosion shook the heavens and the earth. Zhao Guanren slashed open the tent, jumped into the cart and shouted: "Don't mess up! Protect the flag of the Chinese army, and all the people of Kyrgyzstan will be arrested and detained. Get ready to sacrifice the flag before the battle!"

"My lord! You are wronged, it's not us..."

A group of Kyrgyz officials ran out to complain, and several generals also shouted: "My lord! It's really not us. Our chief and deputy commanders are all here. There is no reason to rush to the camp to kill ourselves. Besides, our soldiers are in the south. The sound is coming from the north!"

"To the north is the border gate of your country of Kyrgyzstan. You are just funeral objects..."

Zhao Guanren waved his hand fiercely, and the guards immediately pushed Ji Guowen and Wu to the ground. At this time, the Ji Guo people also reacted, and someone said with a pale face: "It's over, it's over! This is someone who wants to rebel and kill King Zhao behind the emperor's back." ah!"

"The Shanwen army goes up the mountain, the dragoons lead the formation, and the Nilin army confronts the formation..."

Zhao Guanren took a loudspeaker and shouted as he ran. His own messenger climbed up to the high place and conveyed his orders with semaphore. The enemy army had already arrived outside the mountain, and dozens of "unconscionable cannons" "Tongtong was carried up to Beishan, and bombarded indiscriminately outside the mountain in turn.

"Jia Nailiang! Go to the Jiguo Cavalry Battalion, and whoever gives the order will be killed..."

Zhao Guanren led the bodyguards to rush to the barracks. Jia Bujia flew away without saying anything. Nock the arrow and draw the bow behind the cart.

"Vulcan Battalion! Break the Road! Shanwen Army! Kaishan..."

Zhao Guanren rushed to the front of the formation and shouted loudly. At this time, all the carts were pulled out and surrounded the entire camp, leaving only a road facing north. Thousands of Nilin soldiers carried tower shields and spears. Layers upon layers of pressure are at the forefront.

"Here we come! Heavy cavalry..."

The soldiers held their spears tightly and looked up. There were two big mountains in the north, and the pass in the middle was enough for eight carriages to run side by side. They all trembled.

"foreigner?"

Zhao Guanren was taken aback for a moment. The other party was wearing a water century plate armor, and the horses were also wearing heavy checkered armor. Behind them was a light cavalry wearing a chain mail, holding a cross sword in his hand. It was not at all "Shunji Changtai" "The number of roads in the four countries is not the prairie cavalry.

"Dong dong dong..."

More than a dozen unconscionable cannons fired another round of riding, but the defensive power of the heavy armor is too abnormal. The steel sand can't penetrate their tortoise shells at all, and the horses only have their eyes exposed. I can stand up and fight again.

"Boom~"

A series of explosions suddenly covered the entire road, and hundreds of heavy cavalry were turned upside down by the explosions. This is the Vulcan Battalion of the Shanwen Army. There are hundreds of engineers and soldiers hiding in the trench with a length of [-] meters.

"Tiger crouch!"

"Tiger crouching!!!"

The engineers and soldiers of the Vulcan Battalion shouted in unison, only to see the steel frames being lifted to the front of the trench. Each steel frame had three guns on the top, middle and bottom, but it was about the height of a person's waist. The bases of the steel frames were all tiger claws. The shape looks like a row of little tigers squatting on the ground.

"Ow ooh..."

The enemy yelled wildly and rushed down. Only a few of the heavy cavalry who fell off their horses died. He obviously drank the dead wine before the attack.

"A row of guns is ready! Shoot..."

Battalion Commander Vulcan stood on the ditch and waved the red flag violently. The first row of guns on the tiger crouch immediately fired a volley. The projectiles fired by the large-caliber guns were as big as an eyeball, and they were not far away but powerful. The linkage mechanism only needs two people to operate.

"Bang bang bang..."

A row of ninety guns raised their guns and fired a volley. The enemy army who shot immediately fell down a large area. The light cavalry could no longer withstand the attack of the bullets. Some people had their hands broken and their heads cracked on the spot, and even the horse armor could not stop them. With such power, many war horses screamed and fell to the ground.

"The second row of guns is ready! Shoot..."

The captain waved the red flag again, and the second row of guns on the steel frame fired again. At this time, the loader removed the first row of guns, took out a fixed amount of paper-wrapped bullets from the cowhide bag, stuffed them into the gun chamber and pressed them. In fact, the gunpowder was installed, and then the second row of guns was removed.

"Bang bang bang..."

The three rows of guns fired almost continuously. Such a large-caliber gun could only be mounted on a rack. If people were used to fire side by side, the speed would naturally increase a bit, but the number of people would have to be multiplied several times. Significantly increased logistical burden and mobility.

"Dragon Cannon! Damn it..."

Thousands of households of the Nilin army shouted loudly, and the forty steel cannons in the camp were bombarded in turn. The dragon cannons were simply small field cannons, and all the unconscionable cannons exploded in the air, but the dragon cannons were traditional flowering shells, which smashed into the enemy Then landed and exploded.

"Boom blah blah..."

All of a sudden, the earth shook and the ears were deafened. The mountains on both sides were all lit up by the Shanwen army. The dragoon regiment who fought for the first time mustered all their strength, as if they were afraid that the enemy would not be able to fight. Flowers bloomed everywhere in the pass , Even the mountains and rivers collapsed.

"Dangdangdang..."

Many light cavalry threw crossbow arrows desperately, and heavy armor-piercing arrows could shoot at most a hundred paces away. You can hide behind the steel frame and lower your head.

"shoot!!!"

Commander Nilin shouted loudly, and thousands of bows and arrows shot into the sky in an instant. They also used armor-piercing arrows, the difference being that they were infused with profound energy, and each armor-piercing arrow was worth three taels of silver. The cavalry were also reluctant to abuse it, and a few thousand taels of silver were gone in a round of volley.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

A signal flare was suddenly fired from the top of the mountain, two red and one green towards the northeast, which meant that a large enemy army was approaching from the east, but the Nilin army remained motionless. A cavalry stopped the mountain pass.

"Report! Kyrgyz cavalry request to fight..."

A messenger ran over quickly, and Zhao Guanren shouted without looking back: "Tell them not to move, I will attack whoever moves, and let all the caravan guards go over and stare at them, and the dragoons go to me, Ni Lin Army and Huoshen Battalion move their positions!"

"Brothers! Get promoted and get rich, let me beat them through..."

A thousand black-armored dragonriders have already sharpened their swords. The new type of leather armor is not inferior to the defense of iron armor, but it only weighs a quarter of it. Under the yelling of the household, Qi Shushu put on a red ghost mask.

"Brothers! At three o'clock..."

The engineers of the Vulcan Battalion quickly moved away with their guns, and the logistics troops carried long boards and put them on the trench for the dragoons to pass. The dragoons rushed away immediately, and the boards were immediately removed. Zhuang Gong is desperately expanding the trench.

At this time, the people in the caravan understood, no wonder the Shanwen army dug ditches everywhere, one was to block the enemy, the other was to hide, and at the same time, it was also convenient for their own people to come in and out. Trenching is not easy either.

"Thunderhand! Throw..."

Thousands of Dragon Riders pointed their guns at the two mountain passes. The enemy riders were regrouping, and there were still as many as five or six hundred horses. Listening to the movement, there were more infantry rushing towards them.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

Hundreds of dragonriders accelerated up the hillside, and a large piece of earth mine was thrown into the pass by the strongest man. It was not powerful but enough to scare the horses. Set up.

"Kill his mother!"

The dragoons lowered their bodies one after another, and the two-meter-long horses were facing straight ahead. The front of the horses was also wearing soft armor. The charge of thousands of horses and horses was terrifying, and they almost defeated the enemy in a single encounter. On the high slope.

"Ha! A group of bastards dare to offend my dragon rider Tianwei, kill them all, leave no one behind..."

Thousands of dragon riders drew their sabers and stood proudly on the hillside. The cavalry rode their horses to chase and kill the routs. Sure enough, there were thousands of infantry in the valley ahead. They were either foreigners with golden hair and blue eyes, or barbarians wearing animal skins. There are also a large number of Fanbang Hu people among them.

"Dragons! Hold on to the wave, let's do it first..."

A few crossbowmen suddenly appeared in the forest, all wearing thatched auspicious clothes, but Longqi Qianhu scolded: "Go away! How can you take such a big advantage, take your time, brothers Go cut sugar cane with me, this time you will get rich!"

"Your uncle! Hurry up and fire, the dragon riders are here to claim the credit..."

The Shanwen Army shouted anxiously, only to hear a muffled "Tong Tong Tong", dozens of unconscionable cannons bombed three times, and the explosives exploded in the air, covering almost half of the valley. Thousands of infantrymen cried for their fathers and mothers after being bombed.

"kill!!!"

The dragoons poured down from the hillside, rushing towards the enemy like a torrent. They were the strongest bones of the dragoon army, but they were not foolish head-to-head.

"Boom boom boom..."

A head-on charge, two outflanking left and right, shooting shooting, throwing mines, the super high mobility makes the cavalry helpless, the key is a wretched mountain pattern army, I don't know when I get to them , Lie on the ground and shoot with exhilaration.

"Boom blah blah..."

suddenly!

A terrifying bang lit up half of the sky, and the eastern pass collapsed, not only filling the entire pass, but also suppressing a large number of light cavalry below, followed by kerosene barrels rolling down, burning the enemy in the east. The army cried and shouted loudly.

"How many troops are there? Is there any movement in the west..."

Zhao Guanren stood calmly in front of the formation, and a scout horse shouted beside him: "Your Highness! The North Mountain has already collapsed, and the East Mountain has a lot of troops. There are no less than tens of thousands of mixed troops of various barbarians and barbarians. There are still many ambushes outside the West Mountain." Cavalry, the exact strength is unknown!"

"Ha~ So it's three missing one, trying to force us to run west..."

Zhao Guanren laughed. This basin is like a bull's-eye, with mountain passes leading to the main road on all sides. Now they are surrounded by iron barrels and beaten, and they have nowhere to escape.

"What are you running for?"

Qianhu of the Nilin Army smiled and said: "We must run on the plains, but the mountains here are so undulating that we can't even find them. Beishan, let's get behind their buttocks and beat them up!"

"Go and do Shanwen Army a favor, I'll take care of the west side..."

Zhao Guanren pulled his horse and ran to the camp. All the civil and military officers of Ji Kingdom were tied up, and everyone sat on the ground dejectedly. When they saw him coming, they hurriedly shouted: "My lord! It really has nothing to do with us, we have been tricked too. I don't know at all!"

"Do you know how many troops there are outside, at least [-]..."

Zhao Guanren jumped off his horse and said, "He has a group of barbarian mountain soldiers who are here to fight hill battles. If we make a mistake, all of you will be beheaded. If you want to survive, quickly mobilize your troops and go to the west to break through their ambush! "

"Ah? Wouldn't it be better to retreat to the south? Our camp is at the Nanshan Pass..."

A military commander looked at him in surprise, but Zhao Guanren sneered and said, "If you are in the same group, wouldn't I be looking for death if I went to the south? The adjutant hurriedly took the tiger charms to dispatch troops, and went around to the west to attack the ambush. Let's take you first!"
