Nuclear Warlord

Chapter 160 Returning to Beijing
Beijing.

An urgent report from Huangfu was delivered to Emperor Qianwu's desk.

After reading the content of the urgent report, Emperor Ganwu frowned.

"Chen Jiande just received Nangong Changming's request for help, and a thousand evil beasts attacked the city. Isn't this too coincidental? There must be something strange!"

Gao Dali bowed and said: "This old slave also feels that there is something wrong with this matter, and this old slave will immediately send people from the East Factory to investigate this matter!"

Emperor Qianwu nodded, rubbing the center of his brows with a headache.

The heroic words of the emperor guarding the gate of the country and the death of the king made him make up his mind to fight the barbarians.

But when the war really started, he found it very difficult.

No matter how good the idea is, there will always be various problems when it is implemented. These days, he is dispatching troops and arranging to support wars with wars.

The fierce reaction of the barbarians also exceeded his expectations. Now that the war has begun, there is no way out, and they can only fight to the death.

Sighing, Emperor Qianwu turned his attention to the urgent report again, and said with a smile: "This Xiao Jiu can really surprise me time and time again. The urgent report said that Xiao Jiu made a secret move, and I don't know what he used. The thing repelled the evil beasts outside the Huangfu, it was said that there was a dense sound of thunder, and he didn't bring a cannon when he left, it seems that he is hiding something good!"

Hearing this, Gao Dali's heart tightened.

Could it be that His Majesty has become suspicious again?
He raised his eyelids to observe Emperor Qianwu's expression, and he pondered his words and said: "The gunpowder should be used, the same thing as the carp mountain was fried in Shangzhou back then. Your Majesty knows about it. I believe the Ninth Prince didn't do it deliberately. It means to hide."

After finishing speaking, Gao Dali carefully observed Emperor Qianwu's expression.

Emperor Ganwu took a look at Gao Dali and scolded with a smile: "You dog slave, what are you thinking? That bastard Xiao Jiu can't wait to live in Baishi City for the rest of his life, and can even say that the emperor's dog is not such a bastard, how can I treat you like that?" Did he have suspicions?"

Since Li Changfeng came to the capital, he has been focused on making money, and has never dealt with the Korean, Chinese, military and military officials to form cliques for personal gain.
Even if he was engaged in the artillery camp, he was the one who urged Li Changfeng to move, and he went there every now and then.

Emperor Qianwu even hoped that Li Changfeng could covet the position of Datong, perform well and make achievements like other princes.

As for Li Changfeng's reaction to the thing that can also make thunderous sounds, Emperor Ganwu took it for granted that it must have something to do with gunpowder, but the technology was not mature enough, so the former didn't tell himself.

Otherwise, with Li Changfeng's greed for money, why don't you hurry up and negotiate with him to sell it to Dagan for money?

Seeing what Emperor Qianwu said, Gao Dali heaved a sigh of relief, smiled and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"

Emperor Ganwu didn't continue this topic, sighed and said: "No kid like Xiaojiu bickering with me all day long, I'm really not used to it. Speaking of which, it's been a while since that kid left the capital, so I don't know how things are handled. That's it."

Gao Dali laughed and said: "Your Majesty, why should you be in a hurry, His Highness will definitely return to Beijing immediately after dealing with the matter over there."

Emperor Ganwu smiled coldly and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? That brat was thinking about going back to Baishi City all day long when he was in the capital. He might not even want to come back after the matter is settled. It will be a day if he can delay it."

Gao Dali laughed dryly: "It's not impossible."

"Hmph!" Emperor Ganwu snorted coldly and said, "Pass my order, let that brat return to Beijing immediately after dealing with the spies in Baishi City!"

Now that Dagan and the barbarians are at war, although there are bold words, but the battlefield is familiar with ever-changing, no one can say whether the strategy of using war to support war will succeed.

Therefore, it is the most important thing at the moment to let the artillery battalion form a combat force that can change the situation of the battle.

And to accomplish this matter, no one else can do it except Li Changfeng.

So Emperor Qianwu was always looking forward to Li Changfeng's return to Beijing soon.

Gao Dali bowed and said: "Old servant obeys the order!"

Gao Dali was about to draft the decree, but was stopped by Emperor Qianwu: "Let someone keep an eye on the Beijing Research Institute, not even a fly can fly in, to ensure that the secrets inside are safe. Also, Xiaojiu's property Also keep an eye on it, if anyone dares to play tricks secretly, I will deal with it severely, lest that brat come back and complain about me!"

……

Two days after the imperial decree was sent out, before Baishi City arrived, another urgent report from Baishi City arrived at Emperor Qianwu's desk.

When Emperor Qianwu saw at least [-] evil beasts gather to attack the city, he couldn't help being startled, sat up from the dragon chair with a snap, and exclaimed again and again.

"So many evil beasts?!"

"This is too abnormal!"

"How can Baishi City resist it?!"

Emperor Qianwu fought in the world, and he has never seen such a big storm. His magnanimity is unmatched by others.

It was the first time Gao Dali saw such a loss of composure, he couldn't help showing a surprised look, and asked, "Your Majesty, how many evil beasts are there?"

"According to reports, there are at least [-] head!"

"what!?"

Gao Dali screamed, his face turned pale instantly, and he asked quickly: "Your Majesty, is Your Highness alright?!"

He had seen how tall and majestic the walls of Baishi City were, and he also knew that Baishi City was guarded by artillery, but those were ten thousand evil beasts!
With such a terrifying number of evil beasts, not to mention Baishi City, even the capital may not be able to withstand it. The corpses alone are enough to pave a slope to the top of the city wall.

If the city is really broken, can Li Changfeng survive?
Emperor Ganwu took a look at Gao Dali, swallowed hard, and said in disbelief: "Chang Feng is fine, not even a single evil beast attacked the city wall, and the casualties are almost negligible. A total of 840 two were killed. Those who were blown into pieces and cannot be counted, it is conservatively estimated that [-] evil beasts were killed!"

Gao Dali's body flickered, and his whole body fell into a sluggish state. He shook his head and muttered to himself: "How is this possible! How is this possible, those are ten thousand evil beasts! More than half of them were killed or injured, can this be done by humans? Could it be that His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince really descended from the heavens?!"

Emperor Qianwu couldn't believe it either.

But there are two urgent reports.

One was sent by a master of the inner circle, and the other was sent by the Imperial Forest Army.

Although the expressions of the two urgent reports are different, there is no difference in their main content, which is enough to prove the authenticity of this urgent report.

Emperor Qianwu believed that no one would dare to lie to him, no matter if it was a master of the inner circle or the Yulin army. So many people had seen it, so it would be too easy to investigate and verify.

But it's too unbelievable!
Emperor Ganwu took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and watched it carefully from the beginning to the end, his face gradually revealed a dazed expression.

According to the report, the flames on the city wall soared into the sky, and the sound of thunder rang all night.

When they clearly sensed that the evil beasts were approaching the city wall, thunder sounds that were somewhat different from the previous ones sounded one after another, and a large number of evil beasts screamed and howled.

After daybreak, when they walked out of Baishi City to collect the corpses of the evil beasts, they found a large number of fine steel arrows as thick as arms pierced into the corpses of the evil beasts.

They concluded that it was launched by a ballista, and said that such a powerful ballista was something they had never heard of or seen.

Moreover, they also discovered that there were steel balls, iron nails and other things inside the evil beast's corpse, and they didn't know how they got there.

Through these details, Emperor Qianwu probably understood how Li Changfeng resisted the beast horde, and suddenly became a little excited.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Emperor Ganwu said hello three times in a row, and immediately said to Gao Dali: "One more imperial decree, let Xiao Jiu return to Beijing immediately, there must be no mistakes!"

Such a record is really brilliant!

Although he had seen the power of artillery before, he had no idea how to use this strategic weapon in actual combat.

And Li Changfeng repelled the horde of more than [-] beasts this time, which is undoubtedly an extremely successful actual battle, which has very important reference significance.

If the artillery battalion is built according to this idea, then the combat effectiveness will be amazing, what are the mere barbarians?
Moreover, Emperor Qianwu wants to get another secret weapon made of explosives, and Li Changfeng's terrifyingly powerful ballista.

Although Gao Dali didn't see the specific content of the urgent report, he also understood what Li Changfeng's brilliant record represented, and he was very excited.

"Your Majesty, this old slave will deliver the decree!"

……

White Rock City.

Li Changfeng had already received the first imperial edict from Emperor Qianwu.

Now he didn't want to go back, so he said that the spies had not been found out and he was prevaricating.

The eunuch who passed the decree had no choice but to put down the imperial decree and return to Beijing to return to his order.

Not long after, the members of the Survey Corps returned.

To Li Changfeng's disappointment, the investigative corps did not find any clues.

Li Changfeng had no choice but to convince himself that this matter involved a transcendent existence such as a barbarian god.

At this time, the second edict came again.

The wording of the imperial decree this time was much stricter and more urgent than last time, and Li Changfeng knew that he had no way to stay in Baishi City any longer.

Before leaving, Li Changfeng went to the backyard pond to meet the old monster and told him to take care of the research institute.

The old monster was noncommittal about this, but asked Wang Tiezhu to stay, and he should teach him carefully.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Changfeng agreed, and told Wang Tiezhu not to forget to learn the barbarian language well, and then sent some thunder cavalry to garrison the oil field, and then set off towards the capital under the protection of the Imperial Forest Army and Ouchi guards.

The successive outbreaks of animal hordes in Huangfu and Baishi City, although they were sent to Emperor Qianwu in the form of secret reports, it is impossible to hide such a big event, and it soon spread to everyone.

It's nothing more than Li Changfeng repelling the evil beasts in Huangfu. After all, there are only a thousand of them, not too big to be unacceptable.

But repelling a horde of more than 1 beasts in Baishi City was truly terrifying, and everyone who heard the news was shocked.

After hearing the news, Li Chengye felt a huge wave in his heart, and he froze on the spot. It took a lot of time before he came back to his senses.

He immediately sent someone to invite his uncle Murong Changkong over, and Murong Changkong also had a look of shock that could not be concealed.
