Chapter 93 Xu Mujun's shock
Canglong City.

This city is located in the northern part of Binzhou, on the northern bank of the Canglong River, across the river from Binzhou Prefecture's capital, Bincheng.

Now, all the county soldiers from Binzhou, as well as most of the county soldiers from Qingzhou, Youzhou and other places have been summoned by Xu Mu’s army to the vicinity of Canglong City to confront Heishan Pass in the north.

Heishan Pass, located in the center of the Yinshan Mountains, is an important dividing line separating the Wu State and Dayu.

Every time there was a war between Dayu and Wu, it was Wu that invaded Dayu's hinterland through Heishan Pass, causing great losses to Dayu.

Heishan Pass was also the most important pass of the Wu State and was controlled by the Wu State for hundreds of years.

A few years ago, Xu Mu's army occupied Heishan Pass by a surprise attack. For a time, the Wu State was shocked and dispatched eleven armies to besiege Xu Mu's army.

Unfortunately, due to internal unrest in Fangyu, Xu Mujun had to return to suppress the rioters.

The remaining part of the Longxiang Army was isolated and helpless, so they had to give up retreating after holding out for two months.

The Wu State retook Heishan Pass.

He used this as an excuse to mobilize a large army and invade Dayu, plundering countless people, cattle, horses, gold and silver.

For a time, the two blades rose again, with each side winning and losing, and it has been three years since then.

Among them, General Xu Mujun used his innate state to run rampant on the battlefield, causing heavy losses to the Wu Kingdom.

The Emperor of Houwu State mobilized the only innate warrior in the country, Yinshan Patriarch, to curb the offensive of Xu Mu's army.

Afterwards, after mobilizing the monks, they used the ancestral magic weapon to launch a surprise attack and severely injured Xu Mujun. The war situation between the two countries gradually stabilized.

In the past year, there have been basically no major wars between the two countries, only some small-scale encounters.

Under the command of Xu Mu's army in Canglong City, there were about 50,000 elite Longxiang troops and 150,000 county soldiers. In addition to baggage troops and auxiliary troops, the military strength once reached 300,000.

The Wu State dispatched a larger number of troops, totaling more than 500,000.

The amount of food and fodder needed by people and horses alone is an astronomical figure!
But for some reason, the State of Wu refused to withdraw its troops and was still planning to take advantage of the civil strife in Dayu to take a bite of its flesh and blood.

Every day, large numbers of cavalry troops invaded the surrounding counties, causing the Dayu army to be exhausted.

However, Xu Mujun did not move his troops, staring at Heishan Pass, and no one knew what his plan was.

Today, a group of soldiers approached Canglong City.

"Wait...! Who is coming?!"

The city guards brought a group of people to surround the strange carriage.

This group of people were obviously soldiers, but they were wearing leather armor. The military flags fluttering in the wind had the words "Chen", "Zhao" and "Shenjiying" written on them in large letters.

Shen Jiying?
In the Dayu Dynasty, when did new types of soldiers appear?
Baggage troops?
There are too many horse-drawn carriages and ox-drawn carts behind.

New reinforcements?

Zhao Tieshan stepped forward, laughed, took out the border pass, token, and military dispatch letter, and said: "We are the Shenji Battalion, and we are here to support General Xu on the orders of His Majesty!"

"Shenji Camp?"

"Wait a minute, I'll go inform the general!"

After saying that, he left quickly, and Chen Hongxiu and Zhao Tieshan came together.

"The troops are neat and tidy, and the military discipline is strict. You are worthy of being General Xu!"

Zhao Tieshan even said: "Old Zhao, I was originally thinking of joining the Longxiang Army, but I didn't expect to get the opportunity to cooperate with General Xu. It's really great!"

"I wonder how majestic General Xu is?"

"I heard that General Xu had already become a Xiantian realm warrior a few years ago. Black Mountain Pass was able to stop General Xu, so he must be a remarkable figure!"

"We are honored by the Emperor. It took us more than half a year to transport the artillery to Black Mountain Pass. We swear to decide the outcome of this battle!"

"Okay, stop talking, someone is coming..."

A lieutenant walked out quickly and said with a bow, "I am Wu Jun, the lieutenant of the Longxiang Army. Nice to meet you two... generals?"

The captain named Wu Jun's tone was obviously hesitant, because he also realized that one of the two commanders of the Shenji Camp... was actually a woman!
Chen Hongxiu said indifferently: "We are here to support General Xu on the orders of His Majesty. We have something important to discuss with you. Where is General Xu?"

Wu Jun reacted quickly: "Two generals, follow me!"

Under the leadership of Wu Jun, the two quickly arrived at the central military tent.

When I opened the door, I found more than twenty people standing on both sides, shouting loudly about something.

One of them was someone Chen Hongxiu and Zhao Tieshan knew. He was Cui Xiawu, the champion of the same martial arts examination as them!
At this moment, he was nodding gently to them.

"Quiet!"

A steady voice sounded, and everyone present subconsciously stopped, their eyes flickering.

Chen Hongxiu looked around and saw a middle-aged man sitting on the main seat in the military tent with a sword in hand.

The man was not very big and looked like an ordinary old farmer.

He has an ordinary appearance, with black hair and beard that are very shiny. He looks like a young man in his thirties.

Xu Mujun, the god of war of Dayu, the leader of the Longxiang Army, a senior official entrusted by the late emperor, and a great general...

Any name can arouse the admiration of countless people.

"Generals Chen Hongxiu and Zhao Tieshan greet General Xu!"

"Both generals have come a long way, thank you for your hard work."

Xu Mujun waved his hand and said, "Please take a seat!"

Soon soldiers came up and arranged seats for the two of them, and they were the seats of honor.

Chen Hongxiu took the lead and said, "May I ask General Xu, what are you generals discussing?"

"Humph!"

Before Xu Mujun could say anything, someone below said, "Your Majesty actually appointed a woman as a general. This is really an eye-opener for us!"

"Shut up!"

Xu Mujun said in a cold voice: "General Chen Hongxiu is the descendant of a loyal and righteous man, and his martial arts skills have now reached the first-class realm. He is the runner-up in the martial arts examination chosen by His Majesty!"

"Sun Datou, apologize to General Chen!"

In the team on the left, a soldier with a noticeably big head stood up in obvious defiance and raised his hands towards Chen Hongxiu.

"General Chen, I am rude. Please forgive me."

"But I am a rough man, I have nothing to say. General Chen, this is a battlefield, not a place for women to embroider. Swords have no eyes, if anything happens to you, we can't afford it!"

Chen Hongxiu smiled and said, "General Sun, don't worry. I will go to the battlefield naturally and sacrifice my life for my country."

"Now, I just want to convey your majesty's order."

Xu Mujun asked, "Oh? What orders does your majesty have?"

"General Xu should know."

"Your Majesty's previous order..."

Xu Mujun shook his head and said, "Your Majesty asked us to destroy Black Mountain Pass, but this pass... is really difficult to destroy." "Our army is no match for Black Mountain Pass, and there is also an innate warrior at Black Mountain Pass. With him to hold them back, we..."

"That was before!"

Chen Hongxiu said confidently: "Now I am here to help General Xu destroy Black Mountain Pass."

"Hahahaha...what big talk!"

"Who are you to speak so arrogantly? This is Black Mountain Pass!"

"We left behind 100,000 bodies of our brothers at Black Mountain Pass but still failed to break through. How can you rely on me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, all the soldiers in the tent burst into laughter.

Even Cui Xiawu's expression looked a little strange at this moment.

Before coming to the battlefield, he thought fighting was easy.

With a sword in his hand, he can seek a title and provide shelter for his wife and children.

I didn't expect that fighting on the battlefield was not that simple.

He has been in Binzhou for more than a year and has killed more than thirty enemies.

But the entire Black Mountain Pass was like a natural barrier standing before them, which could not be broken through at all.

If we cannot break through the Heishan Pass, we will not be able to effectively curb the pace and channel of the Wu State's attack.

They, Dayu, are always the passive party that gets beaten!
Xu Mujun's eyes lit up, and he whispered, "But the red cannon and thunderbolt that Your Majesty mentioned, are these things... really that powerful?"

Chen Hongxiu whispered: "General Xu, please rest assured that the 20,000 cavalry of the Pseudo-Yan will be easily destroyed by the red cannon!"

"As long as you give us a chance to fight, we can break through Black Mountain Pass!"

Xu Mujun was silent.

Canglong City is located in the north, and its geographical location is too far away.

He had only heard about the fake Yan from merchants who came and went.

But he didn't know the details of the war.

"Generals, can we try the Red Cannon and Thunderbolt?"

Chen Hongxiu looked around at the people in the military tent and said in embarrassment: "General Xu, there are many Wu Kingdom spies in Canglong City now. If we try in public, the Wu Kingdom might get the information."

"Speed ​​is of the essence in war. We want to launch a surprise attack tonight at the latest..."

"no!"

Chen Hongxiu's proposal was rejected by Xu Mujun at a glance, and he said in a deep voice: "I must witness the effectiveness of the red cannon and thunderbolt with my own eyes, otherwise, I will not take the lives of my soldiers as a joke!"

"And if we want to launch a surprise attack on Black Mountain Pass, the army must prepare in advance, otherwise it will easily cause a mutiny."

"This……"

Chen Hongxiu and Zhao Tieshan looked at each other, and after whispering a few words, they said, "General Xu, I can only let you see the effect of the thunderbolt."

"The red cannon is too big a target to be moved."

"And only you can view it."

"it is good!"

Xu Mujun immediately said: "Everyone, disperse and find your own camp."

"You two, follow me!"

Soon the three of them rode out of the military camp and came to a wasteland.

"This place is five miles away from the military camp, and I have personally checked and found no spies following us."

Xu Mujun said: "Can you let me see the power of the thunderbolt?"

Chen Hongxiu nodded, and Zhao Tieshan immediately took out a melon-shaped grenade from the bag behind him.

That is thunderbolt!

"General Xu, watch out."

Zhao Tieshan shouted, pulled out the fuse of the thunderbolt with one hand, took a deep breath, and threw it far away with all his strength.

With the strength of a first-grade warrior and his arm power, he threw the ball nearly a thousand meters away.

As soon as it landed, thunder exploded.

“Boom~!!!”

It was as if a thunderclap had rolled up out of nowhere and a bolt of lightning had exploded.

Violent air waves and flames flew in all directions, sweeping up all the smoke, dust and gravel on the ground.

Xu Mujun, who was a little closer, had his hair and beard blown all over the place by the shock wave, and his body quickly flew to the center of the explosion after the explosion.

Chen Hongxiu and Zhao Tieshan hurriedly chased after him.

"hiss……"

Before the people arrived, Xu Mujun's shocked voice was heard: "This thing... can actually explode out of thin air, what on earth is it?"

"This is the Thunderbolt, General Xu, how powerful is it?"

Xu Mujun's tone was still full of surprise as he recalled the confident look in His Majesty's eyes that day.

Only now did I understand why the two generals of the Shenjiying were so confident?

"Immortal treasure?"

Chen Hongxiu shook her head and said, "We two don't know either, but it must be related to the immortals. Otherwise, how can mortals control thunder explosions?"

Xu Mujun nodded in an undetectable manner and asked, "How many of these are there?"

"If there are one or two thousand of them, they can indeed blow down a section of the Black Mountain Pass wall..."

"One hundred thousand."

"How many?"

"One hundred thousand."

"One, one hundred thousand, hiss..."

Xu Mujun also took a breath and said, "Then how can you throw these thunderbolts into the wall of Heishan Pass? Heishan Pass is built on the mountain, the wall is a hundred feet high, and there are mountains on both sides."

"We have our own way."

Chen Hongxiu said: "General Xu only needs to use the spies in Black Mountain City and have them set fires everywhere in Black Mountain City in the dark to determine our location."

This time Xu Mujun just thought about it for a moment, then nodded and agreed: "Okay!"

"This time, your Divine Machine Battalion will be the main force!"
