Mohahaha said with a smile: “Brother Hailong, don’t you need to be so polite, don’t you eat the same thing? However, I was really negligent in the morning, and I came out early without asking everyone to eat.”

Hailong smiled and said: “When we arrive in the Central Plains, how can we do our best to be a landlord? Besides, I have to ask the apprentice to do something. Let’s go, let’s go to the city not far ahead and find the best hotel for hospitality. Three great gods and Miao Miao girl.”

Hearing Hailong’s hearty words, Soto couldn’t help but nodded secretly. He could be so free and easy even when he was poisoned by Gu, which was beyond reach. Glancing at his daughter who kept her head down, and sighed secretly, if Hailong could really be his son-in-law, that would be a good thing! It is a pity that even if he is willing to let his daughter be a concubine for him, he may not be willing to ask for it.

A group of eleven people walked forward slowly. With the passage of time, Miao Miao’s depressed mood seemed to relax a little. The sceneries in Central Plains were obviously different from those in southern Xinjiang, with less mystery, but more expansive and broad.

It didn’t take long for a big city to come into view. With everyone’s eyesight, one could clearly see from a distance that there were two large characters carved on the top of the huge gate five meters away-Licheng. The total height of the city wall is more than 15 meters, and there is a wide moat in front of the city. The suspension bridge was put down, enough to pass four carriages in parallel, there were not many pedestrians, and there were hundreds of sergeants guarding the city gate.

Huang Han respectfully said: “Master, this city of Li is an important border defense town in our country. It has a large stock of 200,000 troops, and this city also has 60 artillery. It is the only city in my country that has artillery.” , He couldn’t help but glanced at the three great gods from southern Xinjiang.

Moha snorted and said, “Isn’t it to defend our southern Xinjiang with heavy defenses? Don’t worry, at least while our old guys are alive, Nanjiang will never attack the Central Plains anymore.”

Hailong patted Moha on the shoulder and smiled: “Brother Moha, don’t care about anything. Who makes you so strong in southern Xinjiang? The so-called defensive heart is indispensable. Huang Han, what is artillery? It sounds like it. It’s powerful.”

Huang Han said: “The artillery is a defensive weapon jointly developed by us, Zhao Songguo and Li Tangguo. It is made of fine iron. The barrel is three meters long and about half a meter in diameter. It is filled with fire and iron bullets. , Powerful. Although they are too cumbersome, they are extremely powerful for defense. As long as they are well-tuned, they can hit any target five kilometers away. They are very powerful against siege objects such as enemy catapults and arrow towers. Suitable. But this type of artillery is very troublesome to cast, so now there are only a few frontier towns and Bianliang city. If all our cities are equipped with this artillery in the future, we will not be afraid of the enemy’s invasion.”

Hailong smiled and said: “Since this thing is so powerful, why not equip the army? If you equip your heavy-armored infantry with artillery, even if the cavalry of Yuanmeng is powerful, I am afraid it will not be able to handle it. I have a chance, I will be true. I want to see how powerful this artillery is.”

Hearing Hailong’s words, Huang Han’s heart moved and said, “Master, when we and Li Tangguo were studying artillery, we used them for defense. No one has ever proposed the idea you mentioned. It’s just, this Although the artillery is powerful, it is too heavy. A complete artillery weighs 500 kilograms. I am afraid that no carriage can be loaded! What’s more, there are fire yao and artillery shells. How much manpower is needed to transport it?”

Hailong thought for a while and said, “That’s not easy. You can make the cannon smaller and the shells smaller, so that’s fine. Even if the power will be smaller, but if you make more, it will be better than the bow and arrow.”

Huang Han scratched his head and said: “I don’t know much about the technical problems of artillery, but I heard that if the barrel of the artillery is too small, there will be a danger of explosion at the moment of fire explosion.”

Hailong was very interested in the artillery and said with a smile: “Go, let’s advance to the city. After we have a good meal, you call me the leader in charge of the defense of this city and let him order someone to find an open place to test the artillery. Show it to me, and then I wonder if there is any way to improve it.”

Moha said: “Okay! I also want to see what the artillery looks like, and whether there is capital to fight against my southern Xinjiang army.” Although he has dispelled the idea of attacking the Central Plains, his eagerness to win is not. It can disappear in a day or two. Listening to the yellow letter that the artillery is powerful, I can’t help but feel a little dissatisfied.

Hailong’s expression suddenly changed, as if thinking of something, Xiang Moha said: “Great God, I haven’t had time to ask you about something. Before we went to southern Xinjiang, we once met a member of your Qiang ethnic group. With hundreds of monsters, the village of a thousand people in Zhao Song Kingdom was completely destroyed, and there was not even a living thing left. Do you know about this?”

Moha frowned, and said, “I have never sent anyone to the central plains to make trouble! It’s just that I once drove the wild giants to come here to test it. What kind of monsters do you think the people look like?” Hailong Knowing that as Moha, he would never lie. Since he was not sent by him, he could reduce a lot of contradictions, relax in his heart, and read what he saw and heard.

After listening to Hailong’s narration, Moha’s eyes were full of anger, “It turned out to be this bastard. Good to kill, really good. Brother Hailong, the person you are talking about is indeed my Qiang. However, he is a traitor to my Qiang. .Among my Qiang people, there are two important occupations, one is to raise Gu, and the other is to exorcise beasts. You have been back here for a short time, and you haven’t seen the monsters in southern Xinjiang that we drove. A strange sight! If we really want to attack the interior, the wild beasts in southern Xinjiang will definitely be the main force. After all, our number is much smaller than you. There are thousands of different beasts in southern Xinjiang, and There are also several kinds of things that can be driven by us. Many of them are powerful. However, the more powerful an alien beast is, the more difficult it is to drive. Think of the three-headed horned dragon, the ancestor of ten thousand snakes that you released that day. It’s not something we can deal with. I can often see the wild and wild animals four or five thousand years ago, but they are now extremely rare in southern Xinjiang. The person you just mentioned is one of my subordinates who is responsible for driving away beasts. This guy is so easy to work, he knows about drinking and gambling all day long. Once, he fed the wrong monster food and caused the death of several rare monsters. When my men found out, he beat him badly. That kid actually held a grudge, not only will he hit him. People use Gu poison to kill people, and they drove some monsters to escape overnight. I sent a lot of people to find him, but he was extremely slippery. I didn’t expect to escape to the Central Plains. Fortunately, I met you and forgot to worry about me.”

Hailong smiled and said, “As long as it isn’t from Big Brother Moha, you’ll be fine, otherwise, the Central Plains and Southern Xinjiang will really have an incomprehensible grievance.” As they said, they had already walked to the front of the city. Moha, Wula, and Soto are nothing. They are all wearing ordinary robes, but Miao Miao’s attire is more eye-catching. The Three Kingdoms of Central Plains are all very conservative. Suddenly she appears as a well-dressed beauty. The attention of the guards. Dozens of soldiers cautiously stopped Hailong and others. The leader shouted: “Who are you? Where do you come from.” As he said, his eyes continued to wander around Miao Miao’s body.

Huang Han took a step forward, took out a token from his arms with a calm face, and handed it over, “I enshrine the hall to serve on business by your Majesty’s order. Get out of it.”

The soldier leader took a look at the token and was shocked. He hurriedly ordered everyone to clear the way and send everyone into the city. Wula looked at Huang Han weirdly, and said, “Are you from the official family of Zhao Song State?” Huang Han said, “I belong to the Hall of Worship of Zhao Song State. Let’s not hide from a few seniors, this time I went to Southern Xinjiang with my master, just to investigate. The giant attacked the city a few days ago.”

Hailong said: “Okay, things are over now, the three great gods don’t need to care, Huang Han, you lead the way, find the best hotel to wash the dust for a few seniors.”

Huang Han didn’t dare to neglect, and hurriedly led everyone to the city. Obviously, it was not the first time in Licheng. He was familiar with the road and led everyone to a hotel called Guihualou.

With the cultivation base of Moha and others, he has long been less interested in eating and drinking, but the dishes in Central Plains are obviously very different from those in Southern Xinjiang. For food, they also do not abstain from appetite. Huang Sui sat next to Miao Miao, frequently serving her dishes, and explaining to everyone the beauty of each dish. Although Miao Miao had cultivated for many years, she was still a young girl. The gloomy mood because of Hailong gradually let go, and after a meal, he has become good friends with Huang Sui.

After drinking and eating, Huang Han remembered Hailong’s instructions. He was about to find the general here who was in charge of guarding the frontier, but the general had already arrived. The Hall of Worship in Zhao Song State can be said to be under one person, and with the help of Hailong, they defeated the Hall of Worship in Yuan Meng State. In the entire Zhao Song State, they are already heroic characters. The general rushed over when he learned that someone from the worship hall had come to his jurisdiction. He didn’t come to disturb him when he heard the people eating inside. It wasn’t until Huang Han stepped out of the hotel that he happened to meet him.

“Master, let me introduce you to you. This is General Zhao Feng, who is responsible for guarding the southern frontier. General Zhao Feng, this is my master, the king.”

Zhao Feng was two meters tall, his face was fortified, and his whole body exuded an extraordinary aura. Everyone clearly felt the sense of murder exuding from him. Hearing Huang Han’s words, Zhao Feng hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down in front of Hailong, and said respectfully: “Subordinate Zhao Feng, I have seen the word side by side with His Royal Highness. His British subordinates have long heard of it.” Seeing Hailong, He couldn’t help but feel a little puzzled. The name of the king had already spread in the territory of Zhao Song country. He did not expect that the prince who could be said to have saved Zhao Song country would be so young.

Hailong waved his hand, Zhao Feng only felt that a gentle energy lifted himself up, “You are welcome, General Zhao, I am not an official in the court, so I don’t need to meet with you. Please take a seat.”

Under the strength that Hailong had unintentionally displayed, Zhao Feng suddenly lost his contempt, and said respectfully: “The king is the pillar of Zhao Song’s country. In front of you, there is no end-of-sale seat.”

Hailong smiled and said, “You are all the same, where there are so many rules, sit down.”

Hailong’s approachability immediately won Zhao Feng’s favor, and this pivotal figure in Zhao Song’s military took a seat. Watching him sit still, Hailong said: “I’m very interested in the artillery in the city. Can the general find an open place to test the cannon for me? Maybe I can think of some improvements.”

Hearing Hailong’s mention of artillery, Zhao Feng’s eyes suddenly lit up. The previous respect disappeared, replaced by excitement, “His Royal Highness, this artillery is a good thing! It is so powerful that it is not comparable to any weapon, no matter its range. It is still explosive, enough to destroy anything within a circle of tens of meters below the shell. It is extremely lethal. Unfortunately, it is extremely difficult to manufacture. I want to expand to 120 doors here. I am afraid it will take four or five years. Since you want to Look, I will prepare now.” After speaking, he confessed to Hailong and rushed away.

Hailong looked at Zhao Feng’s hurried figure and said with a laugh: “This general is so quick-tempered.”

Huang Han smiled and said, “Master, you don’t know. General Zhao Feng loves cannons like his life. I wish he would sleep with his precious cannons every day. You haven’t seen it before. I was there during the last cannon test. , The scene when the sixty artillery fired in unison was simply amazing. The entire Licheng city was blown out of a big pit, and all the targets prepared in advance were blown up. Such a powerful weapon is simply a siege army. Nightmare. If you can have more, you can even reduce the number of soldiers garrisoned.”

Moha said disapprovingly: “Is it so magical? I’m going to see it.”

Huang Han said, “Senior, I’m not afraid of you to blame. Speaking of which, the sixty cannons in Licheng were forced to be installed by the monsters of Southern Xinjiang. How could we not know the power of Southern Xinjiang? If there were no such weapons. Now, I am afraid that we may not be able to resist even if we mobilize the entire nation!”

Hailong stopped Huang Han from speaking, and said, “What is good in fighting, it hurts the people and money. Besides, no matter how powerful the artillery is, I’m afraid it won’t be able to stop the worms in southern Xinjiang.”

Miao Miao Jiao trembled, raised her head and glared at Hailong, and said, “Are you talking about me?”

Hailong stunned, and hurriedly said, “I’m sorry, Miao Miao, I didn’t mean that. I just felt it because of feelings. The power of Gu worms really cannot be dealt with by ordinary people.”

Miao Miao snorted, bowed his head and said nothing, Huang Sui hurriedly comforted her.

After a while, Zhao Feng ordered everyone to come down and invite everyone. In a delicate atmosphere, Hailong and his eleven people got on the carriage prepared by Zhao Feng and headed out of the city.
