I, the queen and the father, start with a deer as a horse

The nightmare-like Heaven's Punishment lasted for a stick of incense.

The marching camp was already in chaos.

At the end.

Most of the soldiers were almost numb, sitting slumped on the ground, quietly waiting for the arrival of death.

At this moment.

A stick of incense is short, but in the eyes of Yan Jun soldiers, it is extremely long!
So that the "Kun" gradually moved away, but they didn't notice it.

The fire was still burning, and billowing smoke billowed up.

The thick smell of blood, mixed with an indescribable pungent smell, filled the air.

Terrible wailing sounds came from all directions.

Zhang Zhidong sat slumped on the ground, his mind blank.

I do not know how long it has been.

He gradually recovered from his trance.

Looking around, it's like purgatory on earth.

He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he couldn't speak because his throat was hoarse and dry.

After a while, he recovered and ordered his generals to regroup.

After counting, it was discovered.

Not many soldiers died in the punishment of heaven.

Among the lost people, a considerable part fled the camp because of panic.

even so.

The panic brought about by the punishment of heaven still spread rapidly in the camp.

"Kun" is like a dark haze, covering the hearts of every soldier.

Not to mention ordinary soldiers, even some generals fell into a state of panic.

I am always worried that "Kun" will make a comeback and bring God's punishment.

at the same time.

Rumors about "Taoist priests" spread again.

Sitting in the tent, Zhang Zhidong tried his best to keep calm, looked around, and wrote lightly: "The so-called Kun is just a new weapon developed by Qianren. As long as you keep calm, don't worry about it at all."

When the generals heard this, their expressions became a little strange, and they fell into silence.

in their eyes.

Classifying "Kun" as a weapon is simply talking nonsense with open eyes.

Among other things, what kind of weapon can fly so high, and it can also bring down the punishment of heaven.

That's clearly something the Taoist summoned.

It is said to be a weapon, but it is more like a magic weapon of the immortal family!
Notice the expressions of the people.

Zhang Zhidong's heart sank.

"Those kuns are huge in size, it shouldn't be so easy to fly once."

"Keep the morale of the army steady, and they won't be able to make any waves."

"As long as you stick to it for a month or two and keep Prime Minister Qian in check, you will have completed the mission of General Ban."

Thinking of this.

Zhang Zhidong made up his mind, looked at the generals with a serious face, and said in a solemn voice: "The general's order, from now on, no one is allowed to talk about Kunpeng and Taoist priests, and those who violate it will be punished immediately!"

The partial generals obviously didn't expect that at this time, Zhang Zhidong was still unwilling to retreat and still insisted on going his own way, not knowing what to say for a while.

Seeing this, Zhang Zhidong showed anger, slapped the table, stood up, and said sharply: "Didn't you hear what this general said?"

Seeing that there was still no response from the crowd, Zhang Zhidong couldn't restrain his inner anger anymore, he drew out his long knife, looked around, his eyes burst out with a strong killing intent.

At this point.

Only then did the generals stand up slowly, bowed their hands and saluted: "The last general obeys."

Saying so on the lips, but in my heart there is some resistance.

The facts are right in front of you.

It doesn't make any sense to block the soldiers' mouths.

In fact, after going through the purgatory-like burning time, they also lost the belief to continue the siege.

It's not that they haven't experienced a fierce battle.

However, even in the most tragic battlefield, they still have the opportunity to fight back.

Unlike Kun who was summoned by Qianren, he didn't have the slightest backhand power.

Zhang Zhidong noticed everyone's expressions and frowned.

After being silent for a while, he took up a pen and wrote a letter, faithfully recording what happened today.

Then, looking at the guard beside him, he ordered: "Send this letter to General Ban!"

"Yes! General!"

The personal guard reached out to take the letter, answered it, and turned to leave.

Jiannan Road.

Bai Qi's lieutenant, leading three thousand elite soldiers, guarded the official road, quietly waiting for the arrival of a new batch of supplies.

time flies.

After half an hour.

A carriage appeared at the end of sight.

Followed by.

A steed came to lieutenant general Bai Qi.

The commander above asked, "But General Zhu?"

Lieutenant General Bai Qi nodded and said, "Exactly."

"The materials have been delivered safely, please check and accept them, General Zhu."

The transportation commander got off his horse, saluted politely, and said so.

Bai Qi's lieutenant nodded solemnly, and then winked at the soldiers behind him.

The soldiers immediately understood and stepped forward one after another to inspect and accept the supplies.

"What kind of supplies are being shipped this time, so many people are required to support them?"

General Zhu walked up to the transportation commander, asked curiously under pressure.

The transportation commander glanced at him, and did not hide anything, and replied, "Some weapons."

"weapon?"

There was a hint of surprise in General Zhu's eyes, and then he became excited and blurted out: "Master Prime Minister finally replenished the artillery for us?"

The transport commander shook his head lightly, and said leisurely, "It's not artillery."

General Zhu's excited expression froze in an instant, and after a moment of silence, he forced out a smile and said, "The musket is also good."

The Transport Commander shook his head again.

Seeing this, General Zhu's expression became a little strange, and he asked, "It's not a musket or a cannon, what kind of weapon can it be?"

The transportation leader said: "Don't you still have a sword?"

"."

When General Zhu heard this, his face was dull, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

The soldiers of the three battalions are not good at using swords at all, so there is a fart for carrying this thing!
He frowned slightly, opened his mouth, and wanted to say something, but before he could open his mouth, he heard the voice of the transportation commander sound again.

"Just kidding, the supplies this time are mainly newly improved gunpowder. In addition to gunpowder, there are also some newly developed weapons."

Hearing this, General Zhu's mood was like riding a roller coaster, falling from a high place to a trough, and climbing to a high place again in a very short period of time.

"What new weapons, can you show me?"

General Zhu looked at the transportation commander with an excited expression on his face, and asked.

The transportation commander glanced at him, and said leisurely: "You can see it later."

The voice just fell.

There was a sound of horseshoes not far away.

Immediately afterwards, one of Bai Qi's personal guards came to General Zhu and said solemnly:

"General Zhu, General Bai ordered you to lead [-] elite soldiers, recruit migrant workers on the spot, go to Jiannan Road, and set up traps!"

General Zhu was slightly taken aback, and asked, "What trap?"

The guard said: "General Bai said that it is a weapon newly developed by the prime minister, and if buried in the soil, it can cause great damage to the enemy."

Hearing this, General Zhu subconsciously looked at the transport commander beside him, and asked, "The weapons General Bai mentioned are the new weapons you just mentioned?"

The transportation commander nodded and explained: "The new weapon is called a land mine. As the name suggests, it is a thunder buried in the ground."

Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden exclamation from the crowd.

"Look! What is that!"

The attention of General Zhu and the transportation commander was instantly attracted.

Looking up at the sky, I saw a huge strange bird appeared in the sky.

It is said to be a strange bird, but it is more like a ball.

"Copy guy!"

General Zhu reacted very quickly, his sharp eyes burst into a gleam, he raised his voice, and gave an order.

The transportation commander at the side seemed very indifferent, and said leisurely: "Don't get excited, that is also a new weapon developed by the prime minister."

As soon as this word comes out.

General Zhu and the surrounding soldiers were all stunned.

That huge strange bird flying in the air turned out to be a weapon newly developed by the prime minister, how could it be possible?

The transportation leader noticed the eyes of several people and explained: "The new weapon in the sky is called the Kun. After it is lifted into the sky, it can only flutter with the wind. Today the wind is blowing to the north, so after they complete their mission, they will appear in Jiannan Road .

After they land, replenish supplies, and when the southerly wind blows, they can take off again and return to the south. "

When General Zhu heard this, he immediately understood what he said, and asked, "Is the Kun loaded with shells?"

The transportation leader said: "It's an improved shell, as long as it falls on the ground, it can explode."

Get a positive answer.

General Zhu's eyes widened with disbelief on his face.

He followed Bai Qi to leave Chang'an, but in just half a year, the Prime Minister unexpectedly developed such a terrible weapon.

New gunpowder, mines, and guns
Each of them can change the situation of the war. If you put them together, you still have to worry about not being able to defeat Yan and Zhou?
Thinking of this.

General Zhu had unprecedented confidence, and a smile appeared between his brows.

"General, the inventory of supplies is complete, and it is accurate."

A soldier came over and reported.

General Zhu looked at him and ordered: "You bring a few people, and together with this general, send the new gunpowder back to Lingnan Road."

"Yes, General!"

General Zhu nodded, looked at the rest of the people, and said loudly: "The rest of you, together with this general, perform the task of setting traps!"

The voice fell.

The elite of the Three Thousand Divine Machine Battalion made a uniform voice.

"Yes!"

His gaze was drawn back to Wochuan Mansion.

Two days had passed since Kun attacked the camp.

On this day, the sky is clear again.

Zhang Zhidong patrolled the tents with his personal guards.

After two days of rectification, the morale of the army gradually stabilized.

Most of the soldiers have already believed that the so-called "Kun" is just a weapon developed by Qianren, and the principle is the same as that of the kite.

Those Taoist priests are just playing tricks.

at the same time.

For two days in a row, the Taoist priest and Kun did not appear again, which also made the soldiers of the Yan army feel more at ease.

I checked around and found nothing out of the ordinary.

Zhang Zhidong led the guards back to his camp.

As soon as he sat down, before he could sit still, he saw a scout rushing in in a panic.

"General! It's not good! There's another Taoist practice in Wochuan city!"

The scout looked flustered and his tone was tight, obviously extremely nervous.

Seeing this, Zhang Zhidong's heart sank, but his face remained calm, and he wrote lightly: "It's just pretending to be a ghost, what a fuss is it!"

When the scout heard this, he immediately shut up, not daring to speak again.

Zhang Zhidong was silent for a while, then waved his hands and said, "This general knows about this matter. When you go back, keep quiet and act as if nothing happened."

The scout looked embarrassed, and thought, those Taoist priests are standing on the city wall with whisks in their hands, and they can see clearly from thousands of steps away, how can they pretend that nothing happened?
Thinking this way in his heart, he responded with his mouth: "The humble official understands."

"Go down."

"Yes, General!"

After the scout turned and left.

Zhang Zhidong sat on the spot, lost in thought.

Thinking about how to deal with the dry Kun!
Thinking about it this way is a day.

The last solution he came up with was to dig a big hole in advance.

Waiting for Kun to attack and hiding in the pit can effectively avoid those thunder-like weapons.

just.

Doing so will scatter the newly stabilized military spirit again.

To dig or not to dig.

For a while, Zhang Zhidong fell into a tangle.

In a blink of an eye, it was the second day.

early morning.

It was just dawn.

A ray of sunlight appeared in the sky, covering the earth with a layer of red light.

Zhang Zhidong still has not made a decision.

Just as usual, leading the guards and patrolling the camp.

After walking a few steps, I realized that the atmosphere in the tent was not quite right.

I only found out after arresting a few soldiers for questioning.

Seeing what the Taoist priest did, they guessed in their hearts that Kun would definitely attack again in the next two days, so they hid in their tents and did not dare to come out.

"A group of idiots are hiding in the camp. If they are attacked, they won't even have a chance to run away!"

Zhang Zhidong's face was ugly, and he cursed in a low voice.

The voice just fell.

Suddenly, a panicked shout sounded from the tent.

No need to think about it, Zhang Zhidong also knew what happened.

A chill swept through his body, and he subconsciously looked up at the sky.

Sure enough, not far away, he saw a dozen kuns covering the sky and covering the sun, slowly approaching.

"here we go again!"

"Brothers! Run!"

with previous experience.

This time.

Most of the soldiers did not choose to sit and wait for death, but put down their weapons and fled around, trying to avoid Kun's attack.

Although, the damage caused by Kun is not strong.

The last attack caused only a thousand casualties.

But in the face of this kind of attack that cannot fight back and is indiscriminate.

No one can guarantee that he was not among the casualties in this attack.

thus.

From the side general to the cook, they all ran away with their heads in their hands, trying to stay as far away from the camp as possible.

Zhang Zhidong obviously did not expect that things would turn out like this.

He tried his best to maintain order, but he couldn't do it at all.

He could only lead the guards and leave the camp.

In a blink of an eye.

Kun came to the sky above the camp.

Same as last attack.

Something that looked like a stone was thrown from the middle of Kun.

Descending at a fast speed, the flames could be vaguely seen.

Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
A thunderous bang resounded through the sky.

Everything is as expected.

only.

This time.

with previous experience.

Those who foolishly stay in the camp are only a few.

Most of the soldiers had already fled the camp.

Thousands of steps away from the camp.

Zhang Zhidong was riding on a horse, looking at the tent in flames, his brows were tightened.

I thought in my heart that these kuns would attack every once in a while, even if they didn't cause too many casualties, they would shake the morale of the army!
It can't be like this forever!
Gotta figure out a way to get them off.

When Kun was in the sky, there was really nothing he could do with them.

However, it always has a landing time.

As long as you send some elite cavalry to follow Kun closely, you will have a chance to wait for it to land and catch it all in one go!
Think so.

Zhang Zhidong suddenly felt that the ground under his feet was shaking.

"what's the situation?"

Zhang Zhidong was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously raised his eyes to look forward.

At the end of the line of sight, yellow sand swept over like covering the sky and blocking out the sun.

The rays of the rising sun sprinkled on it, like a blood-colored shroud, majestic!

As a general of the Yan Kingdom, no one is more familiar with such a scene than him!

"This is a cavalry charge?!"
