The heavens begin from practicing swords in the palace

At this time in Dongsheng Prefecture, the Zhennan Army has gradually retreated into the big city.

Except for dispatching troops and horses to exchange food and grass and other logistical supplies, they seldom go out.

Even if the country is cleared, it is occasionally done.

Because, when sending a small group of soldiers, they are often ambushed and the whole army is wiped out.

Or encounter black wind soldiers attack and harass, and suffer heavy losses.

All the time, there is a loss.

The Black Wind Soldier grew stronger and stronger, and gradually looked like he was out of control.

Even if a famous general like General Zhennan racked his brains, it seems that there is no other way.

At the same time, Taoist soldiers of Mieqing Dao, dressed in black and covered their heads, sneaked into various counties from time to time to assassinate.

Often, one hit hits one hit and one hits one escapes.

Many generals of the Zhennan Army died at the hands of Taoists.

With the passage of time, the strength of the black wind soldiers gradually increased, and after a few months, it reached [-].

The scope of activities in Dongshengzhou also covers all counties.

As one ebbs and another grows, the strength of the Zhennan Army is gradually stretched.

Logistical supplies are cut off again and again.Originally, when transporting grain for thousands of miles, there was no one in ten.

Tens of thousands of people's food, in places far away from the granary, the consumption of food has increased exponentially.

This does not include the consumption of swords, guns, halberds, cotton clothes, etc., if these are counted.

The daily consumption of the Zhennan Army can be described as mountains and seas.

The logistics supply, along the way, was repeatedly invaded by the Black Wind Mountain, which made things worse.

The urgent documents from the imperial court came many times.

There are many criticisms in the documents of the Military Aircraft Department and the Ministry of War.

Even though General Zhennan has always been very prestigious, he still has a headache at this time.

If this continues, the emperor's imperial decree will probably arrive soon.

The fame of his first life will also be wiped out.

He still has [-] soldiers in his hands, as well as box soldiers. In addition, he can also draw some elites from big families in other states.

After all, if the black wind soldiers attacked the local tyrants to divide the land, if it affected the states, no one would be better off, and it would be nothing but cold lips and teeth.

Adding these, you can also make up an army of [-].

With the quality and combat capability of the Zhennan Army, on the battlefield, the Black Wind Soldier is definitely no match for a frontal confrontation.

However, Zhao Qiu didn't know how he would give General Zhennan a chance.

This gave General Zhennan a headache, but he couldn't break the situation.

...

To the west of Dongsheng state, it borders with Yizhou.

This state is called Xiliang Prefecture.

Xiliang Prefecture is bordered by the Tianbei Great Desert, where there are many sandstorms and little rain, so it is sparsely populated.

However, Xiliang Prefecture is rich in refined iron, saltpeter and kerosene.

The miners worked hard every day, at the cost of blood, sweat and human lives, dug out the iron ore and carried it down the mountain.

The Black Wind Soldiers had premeditated, first using money as a lure, and several people who were good at speech got mixed into the refined iron ore and became small foremen.

In the mine, these Black Wind Soldiers sincerely treated those swarthy miners, bestowed favors repeatedly, and preached the benefits of the Black Wind Soldiers.

A few days ago, a thousand black wind soldiers suddenly gathered to besiege the fine iron ore.

At the same time, those lurking black wind soldiers took the opportunity to provoke the miners.

Under internal and external troubles, even if the [-] soldiers stationed at the refined iron mine were elite, they were quickly defeated.

After occupying the refined iron ore, the black wind soldiers captured two nearby counties.

Then, on the banks of the Daliang River, an iron smelting factory and an armory factory were built.

Tie Sanniu and Qingyu are responsible for this matter.

A large number of blacksmiths and craftsmen gathered here and began to get busy.

Many prisoners of war who refused to surrender, perpetrators of big households, villains who dominated one side, etc. were also captured and used as coolies.

After spending several months, the iron smelting factory and the armory factory were finally built.

The ore produced by the refined iron ore was pushed by a tricycle or carried by a mule and horse, and was transported to the iron smelter.

The smelted refined iron was transported to the armory.

There, gathered the best craftsmen, as well as experienced masters of making hidden weapons.

A group of people waited, according to Zhao Qiu's idea, gathered wisdom, and began to streamline the assembly line.

Batches of firearms, as well as hidden weapons, were produced.

On this day, Zhao Qiu joined hands with Daoist Mieqing and came to the No. [-] Iron Smelting and Armament Factory.

Behind Zhao Qiu, Zhao Changhong, the old lunatic and others followed.

Behind Daoist Mieqing, followed by several gray-haired old men.

Those white-haired old men had protruding temples on both sides, and their eyes were restrained and dull.

But Zhao Qiu knew that these old men had very high levels of martial arts, and they were all sixth-level warriors.

The owner of Mieqing Island looked at the mountain cannons, firearms and hidden weapons produced by the assembly line, and couldn't help but be amazed.

Daoist Mieqing said: "The general has these mountain cannons, firearms and hidden weapons. With these sharp weapons, he can cross the Great Wei. Why worry that the Great Wei will not be destroyed?"

At this time, Zhao Qiu had already claimed to be the Great General Rengong, and ordered the Black Wind Soldiers in this name.

"Everything is difficult at the beginning! The words of the Taoist Lord are a little too early!"

Daoist Mieqing said: "If the Zhennan general knows that there is an armory here, I'm afraid he will send troops to suppress it immediately!"

When batches of firearms and hidden weapons are equipped with Black Wind Soldiers, Zhennan Army will become more and more difficult.

If General Zhennan knew where this place was, he would definitely send troops to attack immediately, regardless of any cost.

Zhao Qiu smiled "hehe" and said, "I'm afraid he won't come!"

Daoist Mieqing was astonished, and for a moment, he also smiled, and said: "The general's intention is to..."

Zhao Qiudao: "I'm going to let the spies release the news and let him lead troops to attack! A master like him, who is proficient in the art of war, has to come even if he doesn't want to!"

This is a conspiracy. The firearms and concealed weapons produced by this ordnance factory are quite powerful. Even if ordinary peasants hold them, when they suddenly get into trouble, first- and second-tier warriors will have the right way.

What's more, there is that mountain cannon.

Once more and more of these things are produced, the Zhennan Army will soon face annihilation.

Therefore, once the news is received, the Zhennan Army will definitely come.

Daoist Mieqing said: "I don't know, General, what are your plans?"

Zhao Qiudao: "To the west of this place, there is a canyon named Luoyangpo! If the Zhennan army comes, this place must be passed!"

The owner of Mieqing Island said: "The meaning of the Great General Rengong is that he will complete his work in one battle!"

Zhao Qiudao: "Exactly! The Zhennan Army has traveled three hundred miles to this place, and they must pass through Luoyangpo! What I mean is to set up an ambush here! Once and for all!"
