No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 476 Help!

For the next two or three days, Luo Junyao was either busy distributing gunpowder with the military craftsmen every day, or training Xu Chengyu and Zheng Jingchuan.

She consciously doesn't know much about marching and fighting, and she won't intervene casually.

Xie Yan didn't seem to be in a hurry to cross Fengling Mountain to pacify Qingzhou. The army hadn't seen much movement in the past two days, and the two sides seemed to be in a confrontation.

On the fourth day, the army finally officially attacked Fengling Mountain for the first time after resting for nearly seven or eight days.

It was the first time Luo Junyao saw the artillery shells of this era in the army, and there was no essential difference from the Hongyi cannons of the Ming and Qing Dynasties in the previous life.

In Luo Junyan's eyes, these weapons are bulky, have a short range, and a low range of damage. For a modern person, they almost subvert the perception of cannons, which are long-range weapons that can cause massive damage.

But as far as the current technology is concerned, it is already a very powerful killer.

To Luo Junyao's surprise, this thing did not appear in our camp, but on the Fengling Mountain of the rebels.

It is not difficult to understand that although the imperial court also has this kind of weapon, it is absolutely impossible to transport it to Qingzhou so quickly with the army at this weight.

Originally, the Qingzhou local garrison should not have such a thing, but since it has appeared, it is obvious that the Cao family got it from somewhere.Qingzhou itself is close to the sea and has a close relationship with the Fang family in Yingzhou. It is not surprising that they can get these things from overseas.

No wonder the army was not in a hurry to attack Fengling Mountain. Although Luo Junyao felt that this thing was not good, it did not prevent it from still being a big killer.

Xie Yan's personal guards under Zhen Guojun's command are mainly cavalry, but it is obviously difficult to use the advantages of cavalry in places like Fengling Mountain.

Luo Junyao and Xie Yan rode their horses to watch the battle from the rear of the army. This battle was not directed by Xie Yan, he was just holding back.

Luo Junyao looked ahead curiously, and asked, "How does General Hu plan to deal with the cannons on the mountain?"

Xie Yan said: "This kind of cannon is indeed very powerful, but if it is used to deal with the Zhen Guojun, it will not pose a big threat."

After thinking for a moment, Xie Yan said: "Siege and defense are considered sharp weapons, but unfortunately they are too bloated and heavy, and it is still impossible to change the outcome of the battlefield with this. It is impossible for there to be too many rebels. The significance of being strong is greater than reality."

Luo Jun shook his head: "What if the volume is reduced and mounted on wheels?"

Xie Yan said: "It depends on how small and convenient it is. It's like shaking the weapon you studied before. If it's what you said..."

"Ruhe?" Luo Junyao was a little curious about Xie Yan's views on the relationship between weapon changes and war.

Xie Yan said: "Perhaps from now on, the way of war will change at any time. A lot of previous experience will be useless."

"Do you think the previous art of war will be useless?" Luo Jun shook his head.

Xie Yan laughed and said, "How could it be? There will always be something to learn from the wisdom of the predecessors at any time, but the way of using it may change."

Luo Jun said, "I don't know much about the art of war, but I think you're right."

The art of war of the ancients can be seen by everyone, and everyone can learn it. Some people forget it immediately, some people regard it as a generation of famous generals, and some people are outstanding.

This is probably the difference in human beings, right?
Anyway, Luo Junyao felt that even though he had read books on the art of war and even studied military command, he was still not good at commanding a team of more than 800 people.

Let her command thousands of troops, she would rather go to the dark web to dig out garbage.

While the two were talking, the battle ahead had already begun.

Xie Yan was right, those cannons did not cause too much damage to the soldiers of the Zhen Guo Army.

After all, it is impossible for Fengling Mountain to have too many shells. The time between each shell is not short, and the design angle and distance are not so easy to adjust.It seems that these artillery are not as advanced as the technology of the Dasheng court.

Although the Zhen Guojun has not attacked these days, it has not been idle. Obviously, it has studied these artillery hard, so it was not disturbed by the huge artillery fire.

Luo Jun raised his eyebrows and said, "General Xu asked me to make gunpowder two days ago. Is this for this?"

Xie Yan nodded and said: "That's right, although it is impossible to cause large-scale casualties to the Zhen Guo army, it is not an easy task to attack up the mountain."

"These people are just defending, are they delaying time or waiting for reinforcements?" In essence, it actually means one thing.

Xie Yan said: "Fengling Mountain is the last barrier leading to Qingzhou. Cao Mian's failure to bring his troops back smoothly has had a considerable impact on Qingzhou. They need time to make adjustments and changes."

Luo Jun frowned, and said puzzledly, "Why don't you look in a hurry?"

Xie Yan smiled and said: "Irritating can't solve the problem, too anxious may step on the opponent's trap. Cao Mian is not in a hurry, why should we be in a hurry?"

Luo Junyao thought about it, the Cao family's delusional plan to use the power of a state to rebel was not an easy task in the first place.

What's more, now that Cao Mian is in their hands, and only two-thirds of Qingzhou is left.

Even if the Cao family still has some trump card hidden, Xie Yan has no need to be afraid of them.

Naturally, they wanted to try their best to avoid war before the fight started, but since they had already started, there was nothing to worry about.

"What do you two think?" Luo Jun shook his head and asked Xu Chengyu and Zheng Jingchuan behind him.

Zheng Jingchuan was already a little stupid. Although he had been with the army for several days, it was the first time he was so close to the battlefield.

Not to mention the thunder-like noise and the damage caused by the shells falling from the mountain from time to time, the pampered son couldn't help but tremble.

In comparison, Xu Chengyu was better, but his face was a little pale.

He had seen the soldiers and enemies fighting hand-to-hand at the front line.

Xie Yan glanced at the two of them, frowned slightly, and said, "If you let them watch like this, they will never be able to hurt the battlefield." The more you look at it, the more afraid you will become.

Xu Chengyu glanced at Xie Yan, and couldn't help but ask, "Uncle, are you not afraid of going to the battlefield for the first time?"

Xie Yan didn't answer, he really wasn't afraid.

It's hard to say whether it's because I feel that I am a high-tech person and I am bold, or because I lack the feeling of fear since I was a child.Xie Yan was only 15 years old when he went to the battlefield for the first time, and he was neither scared nor excited.

He calmly followed the other generals into battle to kill the enemy. After returning, he was in a daze for a while, then washed up and fell asleep.

Continue the next day.

Except for Gao Zu who cared a few words, no one else cared about this issue.

As for those who cared, such as the empress dowager and the first emperor, it would be more than a year after he went back, so there was no point in asking.

Therefore, Xie Yan couldn't understand Xu Chengyu and Zheng Jingchuan's feelings at this time. He only felt that the son was not worthy of his father and his family was unfortunate.

Looking at the concubine who looked calm and even eager to try, and then at the two young men who looked like quails, Xie Yan simply turned his head away to lose sight of him.

However, Luo Junyao pulled the horse, and said to the two people behind him: "You heard me, the prince said that you two are not good. I will give you a chance to slap the prince in the face and prove yourself."

Zheng Jingchuan shook his head frantically: he didn't want to prove himself, let alone slap the prince in the face.

Xu Chengyu was a little moved, but his face still showed more fear than excitement.

Luo Junyao pointed to a certain direction in the distance with the whip in his hand, and said, "Did you see that place? The two of you go over there and take that place down."

Xu Chengyu opened his eyes wide, "The two of us?"

Luo Jun said: "It's just a useless idle spot, no one cares, there are no more than five people stationed there. You can touch up from below, they can't see you, it's not difficult, go."

"Wang, Wangfei?! Can you not go?" Zheng Jingchuan was about to cry in fright, and asked them to pass through the front of the battlefield, and then sneak into the place where the rebels were defending on the mountain.

Do you want to play more or less?

"Not yet." Xie Yan glanced at the two of them lightly, "When can the order of the princess be negotiated?"

Uh...

Grandfather, you are going to kill your grandson!

Seeing the backs of the two people full of Yi Shui Xiaoxiao, Xie Yan turned his head and looked at Luo Junyao without speaking.

Luo Junyao smiled at him, and said, "I'll go and have a look, in case they are really dead and I have to explain to Sister Huang and Cheng Guogong."

Xie Yan didn't stop him, he just said, "Be careful."

"Don't worry, I know what to do."

Xu Chengyu and Zheng Jingchuan hid in a hidden place at the foot of the mountain and shivered. Just less than ten feet away from them, soldiers from both sides were fighting.

Zheng Jingchuan raised his hand to wipe his face, but found that his hand was bloody and sticky, and he almost cried out.

They had just crossed the battlefield, and his blood was stained by accidentally falling into the pile of dead people.

Xu Chengyu was still in a hurry to kill an enemy soldier who was seriously injured and wanted to attack them. At this moment, the hand holding the knife was still shaking.

The two looked at each other, and tried their best to climb up the mountain, and gradually got farther away from the battlefield before they breathed a sigh of relief.

"Chengyu, your little aunt is simply a devil." Zheng Jingchuan complained.

Xu Chengyu lowered his voice and said: "Keep your voice down, don't attract rebels, we've already arrived."

They didn't dare to go to the battlefield before, but now they have successfully crossed the front line of the battlefield and came to the territory of the rebels alive.

Zheng Jingchuan glanced back, only to realize that they had already walked more than half of the distance.

Am I that good?
After all, they are both descendants of generals. Although these two people have been spoiled since childhood and have a lot of experience in being dudes, their skills are much better than ordinary people who have no foundation at all.

These days in the army, he was forced to march, do rough work, and train. Although there was no immediate immediate effect, at least his skills improved a lot and his physical strength improved a lot.

The closer they were to the rebel stronghold, the more nervous the two became.After discussing in a low voice, they walked towards their goal in silence.

Luo Junyao didn't lie to them, this place was already outside the rebel defense circle.

It is also far away from the battlefield, so it is of little significance to the Fenglingshan rebels or the imperial army, it can only be regarded as a peripheral sentry.

Therefore, there are not many defenders here, only four people.

At this time, the mountain was still fighting, and the four people stationed here naturally did not dare to neglect, standing at the entrance of the concealed and camouflaged cave and looking out vigilantly.

"What do you think our general thinks?" After all, they are not a battlefield here, and it is boring to keep staring at them. Someone couldn't help asking.

The other person didn't take it seriously, and said, "Who knows? How can we control the affairs of the higher-ups?"

"This is a rebellion." The person who asked the question first said with some dissatisfaction: "The people below are all the Zhen Guojun, do you know who the Zhen Guo Army is?"

Staring at the people outside, he turned around and said angrily, "It's not what the superiors said, what are we going to do, don't you dare to escape? Didn't the general say that when Mr. Cao sits in the world in the future, we will all be that... ...what, from what dragon?"

"From the power of the dragon."

"Yes! Conglong Gong! Didn't General Luo start his career with Emperor Gaozu back then? If we're lucky, maybe we can become generals too."

Someone laughed and said, "Where do we have that fate? If it's true, we can't be sent here to guard here. What's there to guard in this ghost place? Who would come here?"

"That is, if we can also go to the battlefield, maybe we can get some military merits."

"I don't want to go to the battlefield, it's fine here."

"No promise!"

Just as he was talking, there was a soft sound outside, like the sound of a dry branch on the ground being trampled and broken.

The four immediately became vigilant, "There are voices outside, go out and have a look."

The two got out of the hole, looked around but found that the surroundings were as quiet as usual, and there was no one there.

The two looked at each other, then turned back to the opposite human and said: "No one, it should be..."

Before he finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and threw two people out.

Holding down the two people from left to right, the people inside found that something was wrong and immediately went out. Xu Chengyu kicked the person who had reached the entrance of the cave back, and stabbed the person who was pinned down by him back, blood spattered him all over the place. Face.

He turned over and blocked the opening of the corpse in front of him.

The entrance to this place is so small that only one person can pass through.He bet that the people inside couldn't get out for a while.

"Quick! Send the signal!" The man inside shouted angrily, stabbing out with long knives.

Xu Chengyu looked around, hurriedly kicked back the smoke pipe that was close to the entrance of the cave, and looked to the side angrily, "What are you doing?! Hurry up and help!"

Zheng Jingchuan wanted to cry, but he was still fighting with that person, how could he find the time to help?
Xu Chengyu couldn't stop the two of them by himself, and soon one of them rushed out from the door, and Xu Chengyu rushed over as soon as he gritted his teeth and picked up the knife.

The other party didn't expect that the two young men who were attacking them turned out to be very jerky, and immediately rushed towards Xu Chengyu with a smirk.

The two fought each other for only a moment, and another person also got out.

Finished!

A thought flashed in Xu Chengyu's mind, but his subordinates didn't stop, and even bumped their heads into the opponent in a panic.

It's just that the opponent is stronger than him, and he can't shake the opponent at all.

Finally, the man who got out saw this situation, picked up the knife and slashed at the back of Xu Chengyu who was wrestling with him.

Zheng Jingchuan caught a glimpse and couldn't help screaming, "Chengyu! Be careful!"

It's a pity that he couldn't get away, and he couldn't help Xu Chengyu at all.

Are they going to die here today?Zheng Jingchuan couldn't help but turn his eyes red, he pinched and bit his opponent viciously.Being choked by someone, he did not want to be outdone and went to choke him.

Even if you want to die, you have to take a funeral with you, right? !

A figure passed by silently, Xu Chengyu was about to close his eyes and wait for death, but when he turned his head, he saw that the man who rushed towards him was still holding his knife in mid-air, but the man froze.

A stream of blood overflowed from his mouth, and he fell to the ground a moment later, revealing the slender and petite figure blocked by him.

Xu Chengyi's eyes lit up immediately, "Little aunt, help me!"

Luo Junyao sighed, and shot out the Youyue stab from his hand, hitting the shoulder of the person who was fighting with Xu Chengyu.

The man backed away in pain, Xu Chengyu took the opportunity to beat him unconscious.
