The court of Cai State was silent.

Defeated! He was defeated! And he was defeated twice! None of the 52 battle formation tools came back! The loss was no longer a heavy loss.

The emperor of Cai State was furious and looked at Prime Minister Yan Zean, and he also looked bad. "My Prime Minister, you advocated attacking Cai State at the time. Do you have anything to say now?"

"Some Your Majesty!" Prime Minister Yan Ze'an was very calm, "Your Majesty, after this attack, I got the following information.

First, there are new weapons in Daxia."

"Nonsense!" His Majesty the Emperor was furious. You should say that those different bullets were placed in front of His Majesty.

The prime minister was unmoved and continued, "Second, I saw the power of industry. We must also develop industry. At the same time, the research on gunpowder must also be put on the agenda.

Third, I saw that Xia was full of troubles, and the Emperor of Xia was even more indecisive.

Fourth, the Kong family, the Wang family, the Li family, the Yuan family, etc. Almost all the powerful ministers have already had the idea of ​​dividing the Xia Kingdom. Therefore, from this point of view, it is a good thing that our failure is a good thing, which can make the powerful ministers in Xia feel at ease to fight internally. When the Xia Kingdom disintegrates, we can at least easily accept the three northern counties."

"It's still a good thing to fail. Haha... the Prime Minister's wisdom really surprised me."

"Your Majesty is absurd."

"Puff..." Some ministers around couldn't help laughing. His Majesty the Emperor was talking slander, and the Prime Minister actually responded like this; Sure enough, His Majesty the Emperor of Cai's face turned red - you really dare to answer the conversation!

General Wang Qisheng, who was still pale, quickly spoke, "Your Majesty, it's my fault. The Prime Minister's plan was not wrong. It was the minister who lost the first thing, and eventually lost the whole game."

His Majesty the Emperor was angry and calmed down for the time being. He no longer looked at Wang Qisheng, but looked at the warheads held by several guards next to him in wooden trays. "Xiang Bowen, how long will it take to develop this weapon?"

Take a step forward to Bowen: "Your Majesty, this kind of weapon is not much difficult, I can make it now. It's just that it's still a bit difficult to reach the strength of the Foundation Establishment Stage."

"Then let me see what you made now."

Xiang Bowen immediately arranged the items, "Seven taels of saltpeter, two taels of sulfur, one tael of charcoal, and that's almost like that. An iron pipe, a little gunpowder, and an iron ball.

Uh… A small hole is opened on the side of the back end of the iron pipe, and a burning incense is enough.”

"Bang!" A loud bang, the pungent smell dispersed, and an iron ball penetrated the wooden board one inch thick in front of it.

"That's it?" Wang Qisheng looked at Xiang Bowen, "Although it's very similar, its power is completely different. It was indeed a play after a young age."

Prime Minister Yan Ze'an didn't think so, "Xiang Bowen, try making a larger iron pipe with an arm thickness."

The true energy of Bowen flowed, melting the iron block and plasticizing it; soon an iron tube of three feet in thickness appeared. A bowl of gunpowder was poured into the iron tube, and then a huge iron ball was stuffed into it to block it.

Everyone stretched their necks to watch.

Light the gunpowder without any warning.

"Boom!" The bomb exploded... and it exploded directly! Xiang Bowen flew out directly, with blood on his face and chest, and purple and black stained with gunpowder.

More than a dozen officials around him were not feeling well, and even a piece of iron was inserted on Yan Ze'an's face.

There is a dead silence!

But the prime minister was the prime minister. Yan Ze'an asked someone to take Xiang Bowen down and actually started making it himself.

"Prime Minister..." The officials around were scared.

Yan Ze'an didn't care, but thickened the iron pipe, and it was several times thickened. An iron pipe as thick as a thigh appeared. This was no longer a gun, but a small cannon.

Amid the nervous eyes of everyone, the prime minister lit the gunpowder.

Bang! A loud noise came out, and an iron ball the size of a fist penetrated directly through the wall, and a hole the size of a head appeared on the wall of the palace.

Yan Ze'an put down the iron pipe, looked around, and then looked at the emperor, "Your Majesty, this power is already very good."

Seeing that it was safe, Emperor Cai actually played with him and felt the power himself, "This power is enough to kill the Qi Refining Stage; if the iron pipe continues to be increased, can it threaten the Nascent Soul Stage?

If the iron pipe is large enough, can it kill the immortal?"

His Majesty the Emperor has fallen into the infinite Yaya.

"Ahem..." The prime minister reminded carefully.

"Oh... I'll give you a reward of 10,000 taels of gold, and a ginseng tree in Birthday. Prime Minister, you are now responsible for the production of this weapon.

By the way, what's the name of this weapon?"

"Must gun. I heard from Bowen that it is called a must gun." Yan Zhengqing stood up.

When the monarch and his ministers were celebrating each other, a embarrassed soldier was brought in by the imperial guards.

"Your Majesty, Anyang of the Great Xia Kingdom took the initiative to attack the southeastern border, and has killed more than 2,000 people, and the soldiers can no longer withstand it.

They are using that strange weapon that can shoot and kill the Foundation Establishment Masters two miles away!”

His Majesty the Emperor was actually overjoyed: "Okay! Just try our muskets. Prime Minister, hurry up and produce gunpowder. Since Anyang takes the initiative to attack, I will fight back and must avenge my shame!"

"yes."

Li Xian didn't know that he wanted to use war to promote negotiations, but he came up with this result. Cai State was not afraid, but wanted to avenge his shame.

However, the front line is very lively. Liu Leigang brought 35 locomotives... Yes, there are 35 locomotives, and five more locomotives have been added in the past few days.

In short, 35 motorcycles were just wandering around the southeastern border of Cai State. They were so familiar with the enemy, ambush, sniper, and guerrilla warfare.

He just fired a shot here, and the next moment he ran three miles away to fire the gun. The soldiers of Cai State dared not go to the city. Whenever the enemy did not dare to go to the city, Liu Leigang would lead people to the vicinity of the city wall, carefully observe the fluctuations of the formations of the city wall, observe the trend of the formations of the city wall, and copy them.

In just two days, the formation situation of most of the city walls was clearly discussed.

Seeing this, Liu Lei felt that the matter was almost done, so he threw the "negotiation letter of intention" on the other party's wall and left with the team.

Lu Chenggang, the southern garrison of Cai, was so angry that he was trembling, but he did not dare to go out of the city to meet the enemy - if the scale was small, he would deliver vegetables, and if the scale was large, the opponent would run away, and what if he encountered an ambush?

Looking at the "negotiation letter" in his hand, Lu Chenggang thought about it and sent someone to the imperial capital.

But in Anyang, Liu Leigang came back with great pride, "Young master, I killed an estimated 3,000 people, making tens of thousands of Cai's defenders a turtle. Finally, we rushed under the city wall to observe the formation, no one came to stop it.

This is the formation of Cai Guocheng’s defense.”

"Very good, go and rest. For rewards, go to Mr. Beichen Yuqing to collect it."

When Liu Lei left, Li Xian smiled proudly, "Next, Cai State should take the initiative to send negotiators. In this way, the initiative in negotiation will be in our hands."

"Well, this method is good." Xu Ren also agreed. Taking the initiative to attack once is indeed a great pleasure - you can't just let the enemy attack.

At this moment, someone came to report that Ling Zhifeng, who was going out to collect secrets of martial arts, was back.
