As soon as these words came out, Wang San suddenly turned red and felt a little at a loss.
"Why, no matter how you think about it, someone should go."
"Yes, someone should go. But why should it be someone else? Can't it be you?"
"In the face of life and death, no one is nobler than anyone else!"
"We are really on the battlefield! Not to mention you, Wang San, even I, Li Changkong, will die when I die!"
"Once upon a time, I, the great ancestor of the Great Qian Dynasty, Emperor Gao, with a body of grass and a figure of duckweed, unexpectedly changed my fate against the will of heaven and laid down such a huge territory for me and other descendants!"
"Later, when Emperor Taizong Wen ruled the world, I worked hard to strengthen the country, so that I could prosper and become a powerful country!"
"Up to the time of Emperor Xiaowu, the Northern Yuan Dynasty was also powerful! There were also the Bei Yuan barbarians who held back. What did the old man say?"
"The enemy can go, so can I!"
"I personally led eight thousand Qiandu disciples all the way north and killed countless Beiyuan barbarians!"
"Finally, forcefully drive Bei Yuan Barbarian out of Shanhaiguan!"
"Since Emperor Xiaowu, the south of Shanhaiguan has completely belonged to me, Dagan!"
"Emperor Xiaowu is also called the ancestor of the Great Qian Zhongxing because of his achievements!"
"What a glory and achievement our ancestors have."
"Aren't they afraid?"
"Are they just three heads and six arms, with copper skin and iron bones? Are they celestial beings that the people of Beiyuan cannot kill?"
"We are all made of the same flesh and blood. Why have we all become cowards in our generation?"
"How can we say that the majestic country of the East is deserted!"
"If you think so, how can you explain to your ancestors when you go to Jiuyou?"
Li Changkong covered his chest and wailed in pain: "My heart hurts so much!"
When Li Changkong said these words, the people around him had mixed reactions.
Some people were so ashamed that they lowered their heads, fearing that others would see their faces.
Some people were furious and shouted loudly: "Since ancient times, there have been many generous and tragic people in dry land. How can it be that there are no people?"
"If Daqian is going to perish, our Li family must die first!"
Wang San froze on the spot, embarrassed, and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Seeing Li Changkong looking over again, he quickly gave himself a slap in the face and said: "General, just think that what I said before was nonsense."
"When will you join the army? The younger ones will be the first to join!"
"Tell your mother's shit, I'll be the first!"
"Yes, there's me too!"
"And I!"
Listening to the crowd's cries, Li Changkong couldn't help but smile.
With such people's support, what if Tuoba Tian Khan comes in person?
I reject them all!
"Don't be impatient!"
"The day of conscription is just three days away. The conscription has lasted for more than half a month!"
"Other than that, I almost forgot one thing."
"Anyone who joins the army this time will have their salary doubled for the first three months!"
"This money will be paid by my Wulinghou Mansion!" Li Changkong waved his hand and said boldly.
If it were the Wulinghou Mansion a year ago, naturally it would not have such confidence. Even eating in the whole house would be a problem.
But it's different now. Li Changkong has made a lot of money from Zhenguo Fast Food alone, not to mention other businesses, large and small.
After all, the young master in the mansion has accumulated millions of taels of silver.
It's just that the salary for the first three months has been doubled, but it's still affordable.
Moreover, in the entire court, Li Changkong was the only one who dared to say this.
Even if other people have this kind of money, they may not dare to say it because of Liu Yu's face.
But who is Li Changkong? Wearing a pair of trousers with the prince, there is no barrier at all.
He was willing to pay the money, and Liu Yu suddenly became happy and smiled from ear to ear.
"The general is righteous!"
"The general is angry!"
"The general is so heroic!"
With bloodshed and doubled salary, the public's emotions were completely ignited.
Li Changkong and Liu Yu looked at each other and smiled, knowing that the threshold for recruiting troops was already halfway passed.
The remaining half depends on what these new recruits can do.
If you are just a new soldier, you will die if you go to Northern Xinjiang.
…
Li Changkong followed Liu Yu, and as soon as he returned to the East Palace, he saw Zheng Ying stopping at the entrance of the East Palace with a solemn face, seemingly waiting for him.
Seeing this scene, the two of them felt their hearts skip a beat and stepped forward together, saying, "What's the matter? What's important?"
"Another war report comes from the north."
"Princess Huaiqing, General Zhang, General Zhu and General Jia are already waiting for His Highness in the East Palace."
Upon hearing this, the two of them knew that the matter was serious, and Liu Yu immediately said: "Lead the way."
After a while, everyone gathered together and looked at the letters on the table. Liu Yu's face was extremely ugly. He slapped the table with his palm and said angrily: "How could this be?"
Li Changkong took the battle report and read it word for word very carefully.
The content of the battle report was not complicated. It was just that the King of Zhongshan had failed again. Even Shanhaiguan, known as the top three passes in the world, was bombarded with holes.
But logically speaking, the Beiyuan people only had powerful cavalry. Even if Tuoba Tianhan had the means to reach the sky, he could not use his cavalry to carve a hole through the mountain pass.
The reason is all because Tuoba Tianhan got a catapult!
But it's not an ordinary catapult, but a giant catapult!
Reload, aim, fire.
This entire process requires the cooperation of dozens of people!
Liu Gong, the king of Zhongshan, said in the battle report that once the catapult was launched, huge rocks fell from the sky like meteorites from outside the sky.
Looking from a distance, it really looks like the power of heaven is coming.
One can imagine how big this catapult must be!
It was precisely because of this catapult that King Zhongshan suffered successive defeats in northern Xinjiang.
Because they have no means to compete with it!
Once the boulder falls, it can only be blocked by the manpower of those with high martial arts skills!
However, even the most powerful warrior in the army will be in danger if he is hit once. If he is hit again, he will meet the King of Hell on the spot.
Later, the warriors were not enough, and the boulder still fell on the city wall.
Then there was a roar, and the city wall of Sanxiong Pass in front of the world was dented.
After a few more blows, the hole was finally made.
That's why the situation in northern Xinjiang has become increasingly severe and difficult to contain.
However, Li Changkong became more and more suspicious as he watched, and said: "The Beiyuan people are good at riding and shooting. It is undeniable that the Beiyuan cavalry is indeed the best in the world, but I am afraid they cannot build this giant trebuchet."
Although Li Changkong was not an engineering student in his previous life, he also knew how difficult it was to manufacture such large machinery.
It's not something that can be solved by just putting up a few pieces of wood and building a lever.
This thing requires drawings, making the parts exactly, and then splicing them together, etc.!
Incredibly complex!
Friends who study mechanics must be deeply touched.
This thing doesn't look like it could be made by people from Beiyuan.
As for himself, he has seen so many pigs running around and even eaten pork, but it would be extremely difficult for him to try to make a pig.
