Horse on the World

Chapter 957 Andrew's warrior guards the Quartet ([-])
Fifty miles away from Savage Beach, under Yingzui Rock, a house is solitary on the hillside, with its back against Yingzui Rock, and on the back of the mountain, the Lai River rushes down all the way.Standing on the slope in front of the house, the field of vision is extremely wide, and it is clear at a glance within a few miles.Duandi is a good place.

In the center of the hall in the house, there is the Shenwei Cannon, which cannot be found anywhere in the breeze. A dozen craftsmen have been studying the cannon for a whole day, and there are large pieces of blueprints scattered on the ground. The appearance has been drawn in detail.

Yuan Fang sat on one side, frowning deeply.

"My lord!" A master craftsman came over.

"How is it? Did you get any results?" Yuan Fang asked.

"My lord, the structure of this mighty cannon is not complicated. It is similar to the ancient flame blowing show, but its power has been increased hundreds of times."
"Then, wouldn't we be able to imitate it easily?" Yuan Fang beamed with joy.
The master craftsman shook his head, "With our current technology, it is extremely difficult to imitate."
"Didn't you just say it's not complicated?" Yuan Fang said angrily.In the past few days, he had been working hard, but he could no longer suppress his inner anger when he received inconsistent answers from the craftsman.

"My lord!" said the craftsman, "The structure of the cannon is not complicated, but we can't smelt the steel to make the cannon in a short period of time. Even if we have qualified steel, the casting technology of this cannon barrel is not random." If you are not careful, the gunpowder will explode in the chamber. This is the first. Second, this kind of gunpowder is so powerful that I have never seen it in my life, and the ingredients for preparing this gunpowder also need to be prepared. After we returned to Luoyang, we asked a master in this field to identify it, and this is not the most difficult thing. The most difficult thing is the purification of these ingredients and the ratio of various ingredients. It will take thousands of experiments to succeed. The villain heard that the first military factory in Dingzhou took several years and spent countless gold and silver to invent it successfully. Although we have the real thing now, it is not possible to imitate it in a short time."

Yuan Fang let out a long breath, knowing in his heart that what the craftsman said was true. The most powerful weapon in Dingzhou, after several years and costing tens of millions of dollars to develop something, can be so easily imitated. Just their hundred-shot crossbow , the standardized production of trebuchets, after Luoyang obtained the detailed information, it took almost two years before and after it was able to be produced on a large scale, let alone such things as Shenwei cannons.

"Give you a year, can you do it?" Yuan Fang was a little lonely, would Li Qing give Luoyang a year?
"After the villain returned to Luoyang, he immediately summoned all the master craftsmen to fight day and night. The villain can only say that he will try to imitate it within a year. Then, whether we can supply this high-quality steel in large quantities Already?" The craftsman was not sure, so he could only answer vaguely.

"Pack up your things, we will leave here tonight." Yuan Fang stood up.

Yuan Xiaosan on the side smiled and said: "Mr. Yuan has a clever plan to get the Shenwei Cannon here without anyone noticing. I'm afraid the Dingzhou Army still doesn't know that we have got the samples of the Shenwei Cannon. Our people came back yesterday." Said that the Dingzhou Navy has already left, leaving only two damaged ships in Savage Beach, besides, we have cleaned up the scene, and it should be very safe here."

Yuan Fang shook his head, "Qingfeng has already arrived in Xuncheng. It is no problem for me to fool those soldiers with my trick of concealment, but if Qingfeng finds out, I can't hide it from her. There is no safe place in Bazhou now."
Yuan Xiaosan pursed his lips, "From the appearance, this is just an ordinary case of attacking the Dingzhou army. No matter how capable the white fox is, can he find the tricks in it?"
Yuan Fangdao: "Qingfeng doesn't need to look at the appearance at all. He just needs to know that I have come to Bazhou, he will instinctively suspect this attack, and thus infer what my target is. Combined with the battle that just ended in Bazhou, he will go all the way backwards. When you come back, it’s easy to push out the target I’m pointing at. Once you find the target, the Overwatch Council will be able to find the trace. When you cover up the scene, it’s impossible for you to be indiscreet. Therefore, we are going to evacuate tonight. The sooner we leave , the safer."

"Yes, Xiao San understands!"
"In our business, don't underestimate any opponent, let alone such a cunning opponent as the white fox? Xiaosan, if I'm not here in the future, you must firmly remember this point. The lion fights the rabbit with all your strength. That's the truth." Yuan Fang said.
As the sun was setting, everyone in the room began to pack their bags and prepare to evacuate. Yuan Fang stood in front of the Shenwei cannon, stroked the cold body, looked at the black muzzle, and sighed: "I really don't know Li Qing What kind of magical power is there, even such a heaven-defying weapon can be made. Once this thing is equipped with troops on a large scale, the traditional warfare will be completely subverted. If this thing can be reduced by a hundred times, it can be easily carried In the body, a scholar who has no power to restrain a chicken can easily kill a man with strong martial arts, and this world will be completely changed."

A craftsman who was packing up the blueprints turned around and said with a smile: "Grandfather Yuan, as long as we are given time, we will definitely be able to develop it. Although Dingzhou is ahead of us in this respect, Luoyang has gathered all the Chu people after all." The most famous craftsman, as long as we have ideas, we will definitely surpass Dingzhou in the future."

"Yes, time, time!" Yuan Fang sighed, "What we need now is time! I'm afraid there is not enough time."
"Yuan Gong!" There was a shout from outside, Yuan Xiaosan rushed in, looking at Yuan Fang, his face was pale.
Yuan Fang suddenly raised his head, looked at Yuan Xiaosan's expression, he knew what had happened without asking. "Is the breeze coming?" he asked.
Yuan Xiaosan swallowed, "A large number of Dingzhou Overwatch Council Wuqin and Dingzhou soldiers appeared in the distance. I don't know if the white fox came or not."

"Let's go, take a look. I think Qingfeng must have come, and there are not many chances to catch me. She will definitely come in person." Looking back at a group of panicked craftsmen, she scolded: "What are you panicking about?" , I’m here, you can’t die.”
As Yuan Xiaosan walked out of the house, not far away, horseshoes sounded like thunder, and the special agents of the Overwatch Council in black and Dingzhou soldiers in green were rolling in, forming a semicircle to enclose the place tightly. , a black carriage, surrounded by a group of people, is rapidly approaching here.

Yuan Fang smiled and said, "Sure enough, the breeze is coming." He turned and went back to the house.He said to a group of craftsmen who were at a loss in the middle of the room, "Follow me!"

The terrified craftsman followed Yuan Fang to a side room, entered the room, Yuan Fang walked to the bed, lifted the bed board with one hand, revealing a dark hole below.
Pointing to the entrance of this cave, Yuan Fang said: "This tunnel leads all the way to the Yingzui Rock at the back. There is a natural underground cave in Yingzui Rock. Along this cave, it leads directly to the Lai River. Go out from here and dive to the other side. , I have already arranged someone to pick you up. Xiao San, you are responsible for protecting them, and you must send them to Luoyang safely."
Yuan Xiaosan shook his body, "Mr. Yuan, what about you?"
Yuan Fang smiled and said: "Qingfeng came here in such a big battle, the target is me, if I also run away, then we will be inseparable, she will find this place very easily, and then only need to be vigilant on both sides of the strait , we will have no way to go to the sky, and no way to enter the earth. Therefore, I will stay here to cover your safe retreat, as long as I am still here, Qingfeng will focus on me."
Yuan Xiaosan was shocked. There were not one thousand soldiers outside, but eight hundred soldiers. There were also a large number of Overwatch Council special agents inside. Since Qingfeng came, the masters of the Overwatch Council would definitely come out. There are so many people, a tiger is no match for a pack of wolves, if Yuan Fang stays, is there any chance of escape?
"Yuan Gong, you go, I'll stay!" Yuan Xiaosan said resolutely.
Yuan Fang smiled, patted Yuan Xiaosan on the shoulder, and said: "You are not worthy enough in Qingfeng's eyes, let's go, if I can come back this time, then there is no need to say anything, if I can't, You will take over the office, work hard for a few years, and maybe you can become Qingfeng's opponent."

"Yuan Gong?" Yuan Xiaosan continued to say something, Yuan Fang waved his hand to stop Yuan Xiaosan from continuing, "The most precious things now are these craftsmen, with them, in a year or so, we can also have the Shenwei Cannon This kind of magical weapon will bring us back to the same running line as Dingzhou. You should understand which is more important, Xiaosan. In front of the Shenwei cannon, no matter how high a person's martial arts is, it is of little use, so , your most important task now is to safely bring these craftsmen back to His Majesty the Emperor, and tell His Majesty that you will spare no effort to support them and strive to develop this thing in the shortest possible time." Yuan Fang's tone was completely It's about explaining the funeral.
Yuan Xiaosan burst into tears, and all the craftsmen were so moved that they all choked up, "Mr. Yuan Gaoyi, I will bow down!"

Yuan Fang clasped his fists in both hands and bowed to the ground, "Yuan Fang hereby begs everyone, a large part of the survival of Great Chu is in the hands of everyone."

Yuan Xiaosan and a group of craftsmen all knelt down, knocked their heads heavily three times, got up, and said nothing more, Yuan Xiaosan led the way, and everyone got into the hole one by one.
Seeing the people disappearing into the cave, Yuan Fang reinstalled the bed boards, and walked out with a smile on his face. In the hall outside, dozens of masters of the party secretary had gathered to wait for orders.

Yuan Fang picked up the saber from the table, flicked his wrist, the scabbard was torn apart, and shouted in a deep voice: "Everyone, today is the time for us to be loyal to our country, what do you have to say?"

A group of people drew out their knives in a snap, "I would like to follow Yuan Gong to kill thieves!"

"Let's go!" Yuan Fang led the way, and a group of people strode out of the house.

Hundreds of steps away from them, the Dingzhou Supervisory Council special agent, the soldiers have already formed an army, thousands of longbows pointing at this house, behind the army array, on the black carriage, the door is open, Qingfeng sits in the car, sneering He looked at Yuan Fang who came out from the wide open door.
