Nuclear Warlord

Chapter 225 Li Changfeng Takes Command!
"Three thousand evil beasts?! Fifty thousand casualties!?"

Li Changfeng exclaimed, somewhat unbelievable.

By now, everything is clear.

Barbarians have a way to drive evil beasts.

At the beginning, Baishi City was unreasonably attacked by evil beasts one after another. When Chen Jiande of Huangfu assembled his army to support Nangong Changming, he was also attacked by evil beasts.

Obviously, it was all done by the barbarians.

However, the number of evil beasts at that time was still acceptable.

But now there are more than 3000 bulls, which is really amazing.

How the hell did they do it.

As for the number of casualties, Li Changfeng was not surprised.

After all, those were three thousand evil beasts.

Dozens of ordinary soldiers may not be able to kill an evil beast in the siege, and retreating from the delta all the way to Zhennan Pass, death is inevitable.

But the figure of [-] still made Li Changfeng's heart feel heavy, as if a big rock had been crushed on it.

That's [-] fresh lives!

There are elderly parents in their family who are looking forward to their children's return.

There is a woman who waits for her husband by herself.

There are children who chase their mother and grandparents all day to ask when their father will come back.

And now these people can't even get the corpses of their relatives.

Because, the evil beasts would eat them without mercy, not even bones left.

"Yes, the old minister also felt unbelievable, but this is the truth." Ye Qingcang frowned and said in a low voice.

The barbarian army is easy to deal with.

But terrifying creatures like evil beasts are simply disastrous existences for ordinary soldiers, and they also eat a lot of living people.

Yue Jianghe, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, was full of worry: "Three thousand evil beasts, this is the largest beast horde that has been recorded for thousands of years. It is unimaginable to repel the price. There will be nothing left to deal with the barbarian army."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Ye Qingcang and Household Minister Chen Dingyuan changed slightly.

Although Yue Jianghe's words were not clearly stated, the meaning was very clear.

That is, Daqian has the disaster of destroying the country.

Chen Dingyuan sighed and remained silent.

He was summoned by Emperor Qianwu because he needed to dispatch the army's logistics supplies, but judging from the current situation, what's the use of dispatching more supplies?

Emperor Ganwu's eyes were in a trance, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Gao Dali looked at his nose and heart, bowed his head and remained silent.

Li Changfeng looked at Emperor Qianwu who didn't speak, and was also thinking about something in his heart.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit dull, Feng Quji glanced at Emperor Ganwu, then at Li Changfeng, and said calmly, "Your Highness, it's time to show your trump card."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone looked at Li Changfeng.

It stands to reason that Li Changfeng has no official position and is not eligible to attend this meeting.

But Emperor Qianwu just asked him to come.

It is impossible to say that there is no deep meaning.

Now that Feng Quji said this, everyone thought of the terrifying and mysterious thing that Li Changfeng used more than once, which could invent the sound of thunder.

Moreover, no one knows what the two thousand soldiers stationed in Huangzhuang are doing, but they already know about Li Changfeng as the person in charge.

The most important thing is that the camp also makes thunder sounds every day. It has been going on for half a year, and everyone has already guessed that it is Emperor Qianwu's secret trump card.

However, Feng Quji was so old and cunning that he couldn't directly say that it was Emperor Ganwu's hole card, so he asked Li Changfeng.

If Emperor Qianwu still doesn't want to take it out, he can postpone it in the name of Li Changfeng.

Li Changfeng didn't think too much about it, and he also felt that it was time to take it out.

But on this occasion, he had to give Emperor Qianwu face, so he looked at Emperor Qianwu without saying a word.

At this time, Emperor Ganwu also recovered from his thoughts, noncommittal, looked around the crowd, and said in a deep tone: "Everyone, do you know what the two thousand soldiers in Huangzhuang are doing?"

"Do you know what that thing that makes the sound of thunder is?"

"Today, I will tell you!"

Hearing this remark, everyone immediately regained their spirits.

After receiving the front-line military report, although Emperor Qianwu was angry, he did not show any worry, and his calmness was somewhat unexpected.

Feng Quji's words awakened everyone.

Emperor Qianwu has a hole card.

Calling Li Changfeng over late at night is the best proof.

Emperor Ganwu took a deep breath, and said calmly: "A long time ago, Changfeng invented a thing called gunpowder, which is very scary...I don't know how to describe it to you. Let me just say that when Shangfeng The flood in Shangzhou, Liyu Mountain was exploded with gunpowder, and the flood in Shangzhou was solved!"

Everyone was stunned.

This is in line with their original guess.

Hearing this, everyone vaguely understood that the gunpowder might be Emperor Ganwu's trump card.

Even mountains can be blasted apart, so what's the point of blasting evil beasts?
Emperor Ganwu continued: "You should have heard the rumors that Baishi City and Huangfu were also invaded by evil beasts back then, and they were all driven away by mysterious things that could make the sound of thunder... This has to be said that another invention invented by Li Changfeng One thing, the artillery."

Hearing this, everyone looked a little confused.

Artillery, what is it?
Isn't it the same as gunpowder?

Emperor Ganwu paused for a moment, and continued: "I won't explain in detail what artillery is. You will all see it in the future. It is a terrifying weapon that can kill enemies more than ten miles away."

"When the barbarians invaded, we already had artillery, but we didn't use it because the number was too scarce to form a fighting force."

Speaking of this, Emperor Qianwu's tone suddenly increased a lot, and he said with pride: "It's different now, my artillery battalion already has 150 artillery pieces, and the artillery battalion also has [-] muskets, plus the blessing of grenades, no fear of any strong enemy !"

"I originally planned to wait until the beginning of spring before using troops against the barbarians, and let them see the power of my Dagan, the world's number one killer, but I didn't expect them to drive evil beasts to attack me now!"

"Since that's the case, I will let them know that I have done a great job!"

The strong self-confidence revealed in Emperor Qianwu's words cheered up everyone present and dispelled a lot of worries in their hearts.

They still have some doubts, what is a musket?What is a grenade?
But Emperor Qianwu didn't mean to explain.

After he finished speaking, he paused, looked at Li Changfeng with an unprecedented solemn expression, and asked loudly:

"Chang Feng, the Artillery Battalion is worthy of a battle!?"

Li Changfeng bowed his hands and replied loudly: "Report to Father, the Artillery Battalion is ready and ready to go at any time!"

"it is good!"

Emperor Ganwu laughed, stood up abruptly, and stared at Li Changfeng with piercing eyes: "I ordered you to be the Grand Marshal of Zhennan, and all the soldiers and civilians in southern Xinjiang will be controlled by you. Know the might of the army!"

When this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

Marshal Zhennan! ?

The position of marshal is not easy to appoint, which means the supreme position in the army, and its authority can be described as monstrous!
Even the famous general Nangong Changming has to obey Li Changfeng's position!

Li Changfeng is still a boy!
He has no combat experience in commanding large armies.

However, Emperor Qianwu not only gave him the right to control the soldiers and civilians in southern Xinjiang, but even gave him the privilege of beheading first and playing later. This approach is too childish!

Even Li Changfeng himself did not expect that Emperor Qianwu would give him such an important position, he was stunned for a moment and then shook his head: "No, this is absolutely not possible, my son can't do this!"

joke!

That was hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses.

Even though the position of Grand Marshal of Zhennan seems to have a lot of glory, the responsibilities on his shoulders are very heavy, almost related to the great fortune of the country.

He doesn't want to bear such a heavy burden, and the court is not without generals.

Li Changfeng added: "General Nangong can take up this position, Father, please don't embarrass me!"

Everyone else at the scene also looked complicated and didn't say anything.

Obviously, they also did not recognize Li Changfeng as the Marshal of Zhennan.

"Li Changfeng!"

Emperor Ganwu shouted Li Changfeng's name, and said solemnly: "At this time, do you still want to refuse?"

Li Changfeng opened his mouth and was about to speak, but Emperor Qianwu raised his hand to stop him: "You have to understand that the key to this victory is not Nangong Changming's army, but your artillery battalion!"

"As for actual artillery combat, you had no less than five battles with evil beasts in Baishi City, and one of the battles involved no less than a thousand evil beasts!"

"Besides the grenade, you were the one who repelled the evil beast with the grenade back in Huangfu, allowing Chen Jiande to successfully lead the army to support Nangong Changming!"

"These new weapons, looking at the entire Daqian, who else is more experienced than you? Do you think that besides letting you take command, who else can I find? Is it impossible for me to conquer it myself?"

Li Changfeng opened his mouth and didn't know how to refute for a while.

Emperor Ganwu is right. In terms of actual combat experience, no one is stronger than him, and his combat thinking is advanced, which is not comparable to traditional generals.

Emperor Ganwu paused for a moment, then glanced at Ye Qingcang, Feng Quji and others.

"What I said to Li Changfeng is also to you. No one is more suitable to be in command than Li Changfeng. I hope you can work together to support him."

Everyone bowed and said yes.

Li Changfeng glanced at Ye Qingcang, who was full of energy, and said in his heart: "Father, you can let Old General Ye be in command! I have never seen artillery, and it doesn't matter if you don't understand the combat characteristics of artillery. You can go to the artillery camp to learn about it. Accompany the explanation!"

Before Emperor Qianwu could say anything, Ye Qingcang shook his head.

"I'm afraid not."

"Why?"

"There seems to be a tendency to invade the northern border of the Hu tribe and Chen Bing. The veterans will immediately take command and go north to prevent the Hu tribe chiefs from driving straight into our Daqian."

Li Changfeng was stunned: "Why is the Hu tribe also invading at this time? Could it be that they are colluding together?"

Minister of the Ministry of War, Yue Jianghe, shook his head and said, "Probably not. This year, the snow is heavy in the north, and the territory of the Hu people has suffered severe disasters. I'm afraid it's not the first time that they want to rob me because they don't have supplies."
