"Okay! Everyone listens to you!"
"My woman is still in the east. I have to find a way to deliver the message." The man sat in the corner and sighed, "I just asked her to come because I could have a few good meals. Who knew that something like this would happen."
"that is."
This night, no one can sleep peacefully.
They waited until the gong sounded outside and the guards asked them to go out and line up for dinner.
The guards conveyed the above notice by the way, "The artillery troops from Weishan Pass are coming soon. The things they have in their hands can kill people if they are not careful. If you don't want to die, move away when you see the artillery troops."
From now on, no one can leave the group at will. The city wall must be built before the Yan army comes. You must work harder than before.
do you know! "
The guards took them to eat and go to work. It was still dark at this time, and there were torches lighting up everywhere. Zeng Laosan, who was in the middle of the queue, suddenly heard the sound of wheels in the distance.
But he couldn't tell where the sound came from. He asked the person in front of him, "Brother, did you hear the noise?"
"It's wheels. There are many cars coming."
"Are the soldiers from Hongjia County coming?"
"It's not like that." Boss Zeng lowered his voice, "If it's Daliang's army, why don't they light torches?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a voice in the distance shouting: "The artillery army at Weishan Pass has arrived, extinguish the torches ahead."
Someone immediately started running around the camp, along the direction of the artillery army's march, extinguishing all the torches and fires on the road.
Zeng Laosan saw that all the torches three miles away from them were extinguished.
"Sir Meng!" Zuo Datou ran a few steps to stop Meng Changqing. "Sir, please don't come any closer. Forty thunderbolts have been safely recovered. This is General Chen from the Artillery Corps."
"Master Meng." A young general came out from behind Zuo Datou. This man's voice was young and his tone was slightly proud. "I wonder if Master Meng still remembers me?"
At this moment, it was the darkest time of the night before dawn. There were no lighting devices around, so Meng Changqing could only see the approximate size of the other party.
But listening to what he said, it was obvious that he knew her.
Artillery Army, Chen, who is a few years older than her, and has dealt with her, all he can say is: "Chen Xingqi!"
"Haha! You are really amazing, you can recognize me just by your voice."
Chen Xingqi is the son of Chen Shilang of the Ministry of Industry.
When this man was in Beijing, he was very interested in firearms research. The reason why Meng Changqing was able to see the Zhentian Lei test explosion was because he was dragged there.
He originally wanted to scare Meng Changqing with the power of thunder, so that she would not be able to fawn over the prince again, but Meng Changqing's eyes lit up after reading it. At that moment, Chen Xingqi knew that this person must be his confidant.
"Why are you here? When did you join the Artillery Corps? How could your mother be willing to do so?" Meng Changqing asked three times in a row, which made Chen Xingqi back away, "Oh, why are you as verbose as a woman?
Is this the time when the enemy is nagging? Let’s get down to business first. Tell me where you want to bury Zhentian Lei? "
"Marks have been made on the river bank. I'm afraid it's dark now and I can't see clearly." Meng Changqing turned around and shouted: "Colonel Yang! Please take them to identify the marks."
"yes!"
Chen Xingqi clasped his fists towards Yang Zheng, "Colonel Yang will lead the way. Don't worry, you just need to tell me the location. I will let the escort convoy fall behind some distance."
"It doesn't matter." Yang Zheng said as he led Chen Xingqi away, "The battle situation is critical now. No one knows when the Yan army will come. If we bury the Thunder Thunder a moment earlier, we will have more peace of mind. If General Chen doesn't have enough manpower, Just ask."
"No, we have enough manpower. If you haven't been trained, I'm afraid you will become more and more helpful."
"Brother Zuo has worked hard all the way." Meng Changqing said to Zuo Datou: "Go back and rest quickly."
"yes."
Zuo Datou has been fighting for many years and knows that he should seize every opportunity to conserve his strength during wartime.
"Bafang." Meng Changqing turned around, "Let's go up to the city wall."
Less than half an hour later, Yang Zheng came back, "Reporting to your lord, the artillery army has begun to lay the thunder. My subordinates asked General Chen that they need an hour."
"knew."
After another half hour, the sky gradually became brighter. Meng Changqing stood on the city wall and saw a group of artillery troops carefully leaving the minefield.
"Tell all the soldiers and people below that you must not approach that area."
"yes."
"This is a good thing we have prepared for the Yan Army. We cannot let the Jiewan Savage move first. You two captains, you have to find a way to prevent the Jiewan Savage from entering that area."
"Shu, the government has brought Zhentian Lei here. Can we run away later?"
Boss Zeng was about to answer him when he heard the guard shout: "Everyone, listen, the thunder has been laid. It is to deal with the Yan Army cavalry. Anyone who steps on it will be dead. From now on, you must not Running around."
The villagers sighed in despair: "Oh my god, can we just wait to die?"
"Brother, what is thunder?" Zeng Laosan happened to come back carrying an empty basket.
Boss Zeng told him, "It is a very powerful weapon. When it explodes, the sound is as loud as thunder. Even the ground will shake. Anyone standing around it will not survive."
"There is such a thing!" Zeng Laosan was surprised, "Then what are we afraid of? Yan Jun will definitely not be able to get through."
"Hey, it's not as good as you said." A fellow villager said, "That thing can't tell the difference between us and the enemy. If we're not careful, the people on our side will die."
"Since it is something we put here, we must know where it is in advance. How could we step on it by mistake?"
"Hey, Xiaohe, you are such a child, your thoughts are too simple."
Zeng Laosan was unconvinced, "It's not as simple as I thought, it's because your brains can't turn around."
"What are the three people over there doing!" The guard saw them standing together for a while, then rushed over waving his whip, "They are still not working."
Zeng Laosan picked up the basket and ran away. This time he ran so fast that the whip did not fall on him.
Meng Changqing turned back and looked at the people climbing up the slope, "General Chen, has the Thunderbolt been properly placed?"
"Don't worry about me doing the work." Chen Xingqi looked down from the city wall. Under the city wall, the soldiers killed another group of Jiewan barbarians and were withdrawing their troops back to the city.
Seeing the body with its head and body separated not far away, Chen Xingqi quickly looked away, "Meng Changqing, aren't you scared?"
"What are you afraid of?" Meng Changqing said, "I don't think you are afraid either. If you were afraid, you wouldn't be here."
Chen Xingqi laughed sheepishly, "That's true, I'm not afraid at all."
Meng Changqing asked: "I didn't hear the news that you left Beijing. When did you go to Weishanguan?"
"I'm here right after the New Year." Chen Xingqi said, "Thanks to you, I was able to convince my father."
"What?"
"I told my father that His Majesty will have great hopes for you when he sends you to Liangzhou. I will come and follow you. If you have any achievements, I can take advantage of you.
You also know that I can't even memorize the Analects of Confucius. I am destined not to take the scientific examination in this life. The achievements of my father and brother are not as good as yours. I can only get a job by relying on my special skills. "
