On the northern border of Anyang, the 200,000 troops of Anyang and the 500,000 troops of Cai State confronted each other; flags waving, and the border between the two sides, which stretched for more than ten miles was a bleak death.

In Kaiping County, west of Anyang, there are also 100,000 troops waiting in line. Kaiping County and Anyang County are now one.

Such a form of imminent breaking has been confronted for several days; while the Cai army, which is in the dominant position, is not very confident.

For a few days, ferocious artillery appeared on the Anyang Border Great Wall every day; planes overhead hovered from time to time. Especially the terrifying subsonic and supersonic aircraft, the impact on the soldiers of Cai State cannot be ignored. There have been rumors about this "silver-gray, propeller-free" aircraft in Cai's side. Rumors say: Anyang has obtained the inheritance of some ancient immortals, otherwise there would be no such strange things.

The rumors changed as they spread, which had a certain impact on the morale of the State of Cai, and this impact was still expanding.

Two generals of the Cai State, one commander, stood on the top of the city every day to watch the situation. The commander was the Grand Marshal Luo Guanjie himself; the two generals were the border guard Lu Chenggang and the general Wang Qisheng. Lu Chenggang and Wang Qisheng both suffered defeats in Anyang, which had a little psychological shadow.

Compared to Luo Guanjie who was full of confidence, Wang Qisheng asked cautiously: "Master Luo, soldiers are very fast, we can't wait any longer. In the past few days, Anyang has increased the number of artillery by half; if we continue to wait, the situation will become increasingly unfavorable to us."

Luo Guanjie smiled mysteriously and confidently, "You only think that Anyang is preparing, and I, Cai Guo, are also preparing. As the first to know the power of firearms, we are certainly prepared enough. Xiang Bowen, who is responsible for the manufacture of firearms, has developed our own flowering bullets based on Anyang's shells and so on.

Humph, we have the artillery technology, and we are secretly transporting it these days. So far, we have 100 150mm artillery seats; and the 240mm artillery we developed ourselves has also been successful. Although Anyang is the birthplace of technology, Anyang is too small after all, and now it is my turn to show its power.

This afternoon, we launched an active attack. Hey, the 240mm cannon will definitely bring surprises to Anyang. Now, we already have 10 240mm cannons, and we can directly hit the border wall from our border wall to Anyang's border wall."

Lu Chenggang was overjoyed: "Ah...we also have 240mm cannons? Is it the caliber of the main gun on the Anyang Iron Craft?"

"Yes, and the power may be somewhat different, but after comparison, it is at least three times the power of the 150mm shells sold in Anyang."

Wang Qisheng was a little confused, "Mr. Luo, since we are studying artillery ourselves, why not use a new caliber, such as 250mm?"

Luo Guanjie also frowned slightly: "I heard from Xiang Bowen, the person in charge of arms, that the caliber of Anyang's gun caliber is strictly calculated, involving the power of artillery, production difficulty, and the difficulty of transporting ammunition.

The power of a 250mm gun is not much different from that of 240mm. In the case of large-scale production, the cost of 240mm is even lower."

"So that's it." Wang Qisheng responded, not sure if he really understood it. But no matter what, after knowing that he also had hidden power and increased his combat ability, he finally felt confident again.

But at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in Anyang. He was a master of Nascent Soul Stage, with a grand aura, which made everyone turn their heads and look unconsciously. The master of Nascent Soul Stage who actively released his breath was as obvious as a tiger roaring in the spiritual perception of the cultivator.

"Listen to the people of Cai State, I am Yan Zhengqing."

Crazy... The army of Cai State began to stir; Yan Zhengqing, one of the former generals of Cai State, actually had the talent of commander and was in charge of the imperial capital; now, seeing Yan Zhengqing become a master of the Nascent Soul stage and standing opposite him, many soldiers of Cai State began to stir up.

When Luo Guanjie, the Grand Marshal of Cai, saw Yan Zhengqing, he was furious: "Yan Zhengqing, you traitor, do you still have the face to show up?"

Yan Zhengqing looked at Luo Guanjie from afar and snorted coldly, "Everyone knows who is the traitor. Today I won't fight with you, but declare war.

In view of Cai's robbery behavior, the wise king was very angry; but the wise king was still kind and gave everyone a way to survive. Everyone listened to the one who surrendered within an hour or left the frontier battlefield, who could survive. After an hour, Anyang will launch an active attack.

This war, no living habits are left!

Taking Anyang law as the standard: robbery and murder will be sentenced to death!”

Yan Zhengqing said this, which had a great impact on the 500,000 army of Cai State; many people began to stir up. The strength of Anyang has almost been imprinted in the hearts of many soldiers. In the past four years, Cai State and Anyang have fought many times, but all of them ended in failure; it can be said to be a typical example of repeated defeats.

Now, Anyang is even stronger and he said he would not leave any living habits. Many soldiers began to panic, and some people wanted to leave.

Seeing the unstable morale of the army, Cai's Grand Marshal Luo Guanjie also took off, "Dear Warriors, don't be scared by Anyang's intimidation; Anyang is just bluffing. Think about it, in the past, Anyang went directly to war, and never intimidated like this. Why does Anyang do this now?

There is only one reason, that is, bluff!

Recently, Anyang has fought continuously. Anyang, which has only one county, has killed and injured 100,000 elite soldiers, and all the elite troops have been gone. People's livelihood has withered, industry and commerce have almost collapsed, and it has long been unable to support the current huge war.

Anyang won the Jin State, but the war with Xiao Liming was only based on guards and did not take the initiative. This is the best evidence.

If you are not at ease, you can leave now. Supervise the team and do not hinder any soldiers who leave."

Luo Guanjie's statement made Cai's army stir up again; but this time the commotion had more alternative voices. Sometimes people were so weird. Luo Guanjie took the initiative to let go, but no one left! The commotion and uneasiness brought by Yan Zhengqing were quickly calmed down.

However, seeing the soldiers calmed down, the officers and generals of Cai's middle and senior officials began to worry; only one point was true about what Luo Guanjie said just now, that is, Anyang was indeed tired, but it does not mean that Anyang really has no combat ability. These middle and senior officials and generals knew that Anyang must have become popular this time, so he made the decision to "not leave any survivors".

Since you can make this decision, Anyang must have such ability!

After returning to the military tent, Luo Guanjie looked at the generals around him, took a deep breath, but had a confident smile on his face: "This war may be much more difficult, but we also have trump cards. Now, push all our artillery onto the Great Wall of the Border and let the soldiers see our trump cards.

In addition, General Wang Qisheng, you are good at raids. Immediately rectify 30,000 elite troops, and then quickly raid near the Anyang border defense and engage in close tangled with Anyang.

You are given priority to guns, gunpowder, cannons, packages, talismans, magic weapons, etc. It is a bit nervous to equip 30,000 elite soldiers in one hour, so you can do it as soon as possible.”

"Yes." Wang Qisheng took the order and left.

After Wang Qisheng left, Luo Guanjie looked at Lu Chenggang, "General Lu Chenggang, now starts to defend immediately, use spells to build temporary air defense and anti-aircraft facilities."

After Wang Qisheng and Lu Chenggang were preparing, Luo Guanjie made many more arrangements; after a series of arrangements continued, the 500,000 troops of Cai State were mobilized, and the most tragic war between Cai State and Anyang was about to happen.

…………

Almost at the same time, Xiao Liming led 170,000 defeated troops in Baofeng County, and finally returned. Although he was blocked by Li Yulong along the way, the losses were not big, and Li Yulong's blocked by Li Yulong was just a good example. Well, even if he did it, Li Yulong caused about 10,000 casualties to Xiao Liming.

However, Li Wei led a large army to fight with the Great Prince's defenders in the north of Wuyang County. He used the arms obtained from Anyang, and Li Wei's army completely used artillery to open the way. Many soldiers from Baofeng County fell along the way.

Taking advantage of Xiao Liming's new defeat, Li Wei's army quickly advanced hundreds of miles, and the area of ​​Wuyang County controlled by Li Yulong increased from one-fifth to two-fifth. The forward has approached the imperial capital Wuyang City.

The eldest prince has been defeated step by step. Li Yulong has prepared for fifteen years and has various hidden forces. Recently, Li Xian and Anyang have strong support. The army's combat ability and material richness are far from what the eldest prince can resist.

Now Xiao Liming failed to attack the east and returned, and the eldest prince was in a state of turmoil.

However, what is even more stormy was the questioning from Anyang. Xiao Liming's failure to attack Anyang, the failure of the front-line war, and Anyang's questioning letter made the eldest prince keenly feel an indescribable crisis.

In the hall, the eldest prince was wearing a dragon robe and was high above. On both sides were the officials of this; Ouyang Qing, Yuan Cai, Zhang Quan, and Zhang Quan's father Zhang Yuan and others were in a heavy atmosphere.

Ouyang Qing unfolded the letter from Anyang and read it little by little; the sound echoed in the hall, but the steady sound revealed the responsibilities, threats, and huge compensation from Anyang.

Compensation of 5 million taels of gold, ceded a land of 100 miles, and publicly apologized, otherwise Anyang would send troops to attack Baofeng County, and would join forces with the Tang Kingdom (Li Yulong). At that time, the losses would be even greater.

The hall was dull, apologizing and cedeing land to pay compensation would definitely make the eldest prince a joke; but if he chose war, no one would be confident of winning.

Xiao Liming sneaked into Anyang, but as soon as he came into contact, he was defeated. After a moment of fighting, more than 20,000 were killed or injured, and hundreds of elite Jindan stage soldiers were also intercepted by Li Yulong on his way back. This time the loss was not big, and Li Yulong just did the same thing, but the impact on morale was very serious - he was almost driven away; many of the losses of ten thousand were deserters.

After Ouyang Qing finished reading, Yuan Cai was the first to object, "You can't agree to Anyang, otherwise it will become a laughing stock. You would rather choose to fight than apologize directly and cede land and pay compensation. If we do this, the majesty that Your Majesty (the eldest prince) just established will certainly be gone.

Li Xian is just a rebel, we would rather die than surrender!"

Yuan Cai’s words make sense, and many people agree with it. Yes, from the perspective of the eldest prince, Li Xian is a thief. Now the thief forces the eldest prince, the real prince, to apologize and cede land for compensation, and it cannot be accepted no matter what. If the eldest prince accepts it, it will not only be damaged in majesty, but will even affect the current stability of the eldest prince’s throne.

After hearing this, Zhang Quan said, "What General Yuan said makes sense, but General Yuan, sometimes, some things must be done if they don't make sense, and we have to consider our strength. Now we are just facing Tang (Li Yulong). If we face Anyang again, General Yuan can think of what consequences will it lead to?"

Yuan Cai frowned slightly, but insisted: "Even if he was defeated and showed our bravery, it would not be too late to apologize again. It is inappropriate to apologize directly!"

"Defeated?" Zhang Quan sneered, "General Yuan only thought about his own face, did he think about the life of his soldiers? If he was defeated, he apologized and cedeed the land to pay compensation, which is even more embarrassing, and the compensation for cedes will be doubled.

If I have insufficient confidence and just behave for the so-called face, it is better to accept the conditions of Anyang now.

If you really want to fight, you can at least tie Anyang; otherwise, you should accept Anyang's conditions."

The eldest prince sat above with deep frowns, at least tied with Anyang? It is unlikely. "None of them can do it, is there a better way?"

"Yes!" Suddenly, a sound came from the front of the hall. Xiao Liming walked over with several masters following him, "There is another way, that is, please go to Anyang personally to apologize!

I believe that as long as you, as the eldest prince, go to Anyang to apologize and confess your guilt, Li Xian will definitely give in. The so-called land cemetery will be exempted."

Before the voice fell, Xiao Liming had already arrived at the center of the hall; Xiao Liming, wearing armor and holding a sword in his hand, was majestic; when he stood in the center of the hall, he actually suppressed the momentum of the eldest prince, the pseudo-emperor.

Behind Xiao Liming, there were many elites with bright armor, swords, and shoulders and treasure bows lined up in a row, completely blocking the hall. Behind, more elite soldiers came and surrounded the hall.

The cold breath suddenly exploded. Seeing Xiao Liming appear in this posture, many people's eyes flashed, many people's eyes were excited, but some people were even more panicked!

The hall suddenly became quiet, and the eldest prince sitting high above suddenly stood up, his eyes like an eagle falcon, pointed at Xiao Liming and shouted: "Xiao Liming, what are you going to do?"

Xiao Liming's face immediately became gloomy: "Boy, you can call Xiao Liming the three words "Xiao Liming". You should call me grandfather!"
