Imperial County Magistrate

Chapter 573 Death Battle
The fire in Liantian Mountain is gradually extinguishing, and it can already be felt that it is not as fierce as it was at the beginning.

Zhao Kang stood on a mountainous area, looking at the fiery red line in the distance. He knew that once the mountain fire stopped, Xiao Feiyu's countless armies would swarm in and start a decisive battle.

"Shuai Zhao!"

Dressed in clothes, Zhou Long came to Zhao Kang's side.

Zhao Kang smiled and said: "Looking at your happy face, it must be good news?"

Zhou Long grinned: "Wu Yu finally arrived with something!"

After hearing this, Zhao Kang finally settled down and asked, "How many are here?"

"There are 22 cannons in total. We built nine new ones in China, three of which were given to Zhang Zheng, and six were sent to Yizhou for Wu Yu to pull over together."

Zhou Long said excitedly: "In addition to the original eight, we now have thirty cannons, each equipped with one thousand rounds of artillery shells. The Shen Lei Army has added fifty thousand rounds of grenades, which is enough for the enemy to drink a pot!"

Zhao Kang said softly: "It takes three months to gather so many weapons and ammunition. It will consume a lot of money in the country, right?"

Zhou Long's excitement subsided, he nodded and looked at Zhao Kang and said: "The official responsible for delivering supplies said that almost all the officials in the court can be said to have donated their family wealth."

"Even the iron rooster Zhang Mingyuan, the Minister of Household Affairs, took out 150 million taels in one go, taking out the entire Zhang family's wealth."

"The old master summoned all the disciples of the Yang family, donated money and sold houses, and the officials collected a total of more than 600 million silver taels to supervise the manufacture of artillery and grenades and purchase grain and grass."

"Mrs. Wu even led a group of officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs to beg for food from grain merchants all day long! Everyone is waiting for us to win this battle!"

Zhao Kang squinted his eyes and looked at the troops stationed in various places at the foot of the mountain, covering a hundred miles radius.

They are the chasm that blocks Xiao Feiyu's army this time!
"So, we can't lose no matter what!"

Zhao Kang grinned: "Let Wu Yu take his people to garrison at the northeastern mountain pass. As soon as the enemy appears, we must push them back regardless of whether we are peaceful or not!"

"As ordered!"

All 22 cannons brought by Wu Yu were taken away by Zhao Kang and placed on various hills.

Li Goudan took all the artillery troops and stationed them on these hills to prepare.

In the evening, Zhao Kang summoned all the generals.

There are his deputy commander-in-chief Zhou Long, generals Hua Fengyuan and Gao Yuan of the Jingguo Shenwu Army, generals Wu Yu of the Xuanwu Army, and captains and captains of various military schools including Diao Ge.

A hundred people gathered in the school grounds, each holding a bowl of wine.

Zhao Kang stood in front of everyone and chuckled: "We have already prepared everything we should. According to the momentum of this mountain fire, Xiao Feiyu's thousands of troops will cross Cangshan Mountain and face us directly in less than two days. .”

"There are a lot of them, and we only have [-] to fight. But some time ago, Duke Yu Chenggong of Jing State and General Yu led [-] Jing troops and rushed into the Xuzhou battlefield, so I want to tell you!"

Zhao Kang said loudly: "We have a lot of people! We have the ability to kill Xiao Feiyu! We also have thirty cannons! Fifty thousand rounds of grenades have been hung on every soldier of the Thunder Army!"

"They will give you the strongest support!"

The sound became louder and louder, and everyone looked at Zhao Kang who was holding the wine bowl.

"I have handed over all my people to you, and now there are only [-] personal guards in the Chinese army's tent!"

Zhao Kang laughed and said: "I will be sitting here from today on! Let's see whether it is Xiao Feiyu who leads his men to kill me in front of my tent! Or you guys will smash his army to pieces! Respect you all!"

Zhou Long drank all the wine in the bowl in one gulp and roared: "Fight! Fight to the death!"

Hua Fengyuan also finished his drink: "Great scene! Fight to the death!" "Fight to the death!"

this moment!Even the gods and Buddhas would have to retreat from the calls made by these hundreds of people!
The generals turned their backs and left. Just as Zhao Kang said before, Zhao Kang arranged for each of them to be in place on this battlefield spanning hundreds of miles.

Zhao Kang racked his brains, looked at the surrounding terrain repeatedly, and selected Xiao Feiyu's attack method countless times in his mind as to who would bring what troops and horses, and where they would be stationed.

Everyone was sent out, and the Chinese army he, the coach, only had less than 3000 people.

And these three thousand are used to travel around to deliver military orders, and their real combat power is just that.

Bowing towards the backs of everyone, Zhao Kang said silently in his heart: "Please!"

Finally, when the fierce fire burned all the trees in Cangshan Mountain and there was no combustible material left, the mountain fire that lasted for nearly a month was finally extinguished.

Xiao Feiyu is also waiting for this moment to arrive. Like Zhao Kang, he has also been fully prepared during this period.

Except for the 8 people Xiao Yuan took to intercept Yu Chenggong, the total number of troops he had was exactly 30.

Millions of barbarians from the Jin Kingdom crossed the desert to conquer the Jing Kingdom. In more than half a year, they suffered numerous casualties and devastated the entire Jing Kingdom.

If Xiao Feiyu hadn't had enough troops and painstakingly prepared for a year, the food and grass supplies would have been able to keep up.

I'm afraid the army has been defeated by now.

Xiao Feiyu still didn't care about such tragic casualties. At the moment, Jingguo could only breathe.

And Qian Guo didn't get there either. All the money and food reserves were used to fight this war.

The victory or defeat in the early stage is not important. As long as you can win the last time, you have won everything!
"My lord!"

Generals Tie Muyan and Tuoba Yu looked at Xiao Feiyu excitedly.

The latter smiled softly, looking at Wanyanjin beside him with his white hair flying: "Go, I am waiting for your good news."

"The last will obey!"

The two generals turned and left at the same time. Their departure would bring countless military disasters to the world!

The first to collide with the barbarians was Zhang Haisen, the captain of the White Tiger Army.

The 1000 men he led and the scouts who accompanied the army were the first to discover the barbarian soldiers who came over.

After receiving the news, Zhang Haisen immediately drew his sword: "I'll chop all these bastards to death! Fight them back!"

A thousand white tiger troops rushed forward like tigers descending a mountain, and started the most intense hand-to-hand combat with the enemy!
After a wave of fighting, both sides suffered a lot of losses. At this time, a messenger rushed into the battlefield.

"The commander-in-chief has ordered us to retreat!"

Zhang Haisen did not hesitate and immediately called his deputy: "Notify the entire army to retreat!"

The remaining [-] White Tiger troops immediately retreated, and the barbarian soldiers were very excited and followed the reinforcements to pursue them.

However, just a quarter of an hour later, a cannon shot shook the sky!
Cannonballs landed among the barbarian soldiers and exploded. The barbarian soldiers were stunned.

After ten shots were fired, Zhang Haisen immediately led his men to kill them again. At this time, the barbarian soldiers who suffered heavy casualties from the bombing were still Zhang Haisen's opponent!
Each and every White Tiger Army soldier shouted to fight to the death, chopping melons and vegetables, killing the barbarian soldiers until they fled back to Cangshan without leaving any trace of armor behind.
