This iron gun seemed ordinary, and it was not as good as Xiao Zhang's own gun.
But the gun that can injure the black robe must be extraordinary.
This is the legendary No. 100 weapons list, the Frost Remaining Divine Spear used by Emperor Taizong.
"After all, it is futile, and you will fail."
Leaving a word in a cold voice, the black robe turned into a cloud of black mist and dissipated on the chaotic battlefield.
Xiao Zhang wanted to chase after him, but his body shook twice and almost fell to the ground.
It seems that it was true that he attacked Xuelao City with a kite a few days ago, and it was also true that he was seriously injured.
It's just that they don't know when Shang Xingzhou picked him up in the car.
"Exchange this gun for ten years with a kite, do you think you can exchange it?"
"Of course I can."
Xiao Zhang stroked the iron gun with a slightly excited expression.
It is the dream of all gun users to be able to hold the Shuangyu Divine Spear with their own hands, and he is no exception.
Shang Xingzhou shook his head.
In his view, this is of course a secret investment.
In fact, he never felt that anyone today is qualified to use the weapons left by His Majesty Emperor Taizong.
It's just that it's important to defeat the demons now, and Xiao Zhang is the strongest gun user, so we have to force him to use it.
Xiao Zhang looked up at the distance where the black robe disappeared, and said vigilantly: "I don't think this matter is so simple."
He hid in the carriage for several days without revealing the slightest sign of the wind. He had accumulated momentum for a long time, and coupled with the power of the Frost Remaining Sharpshooter, he still failed to kill Heipao. This is related to the fact that he was seriously injured beforehand, and also because the black robe is too strong, but there is another possibility, that is, the black robe did not go all out from the beginning.
"The demons really want me to die, even if it's just a few dozen days earlier, but it's not so important that they go out of the city early to initiate a decisive battle."
Shang Xingzhou said calmly.
What he saw was more profound or thorough than Xiao Zhang.
The demons launched the decisive battle in advance to create a chaotic scene in the wilderness. The confusion is to cover up the real intention, and now it seems that it should be to assassinate him. But would the demons have a more complete arrangement in advance—if the assassination fails, they will use this as a means of distracting their attention.
If this is the case, then what is the real ultimate move of the demons
Shang Xingzhou turned and looked south.
…
…
For war, the most important thing is of course logistics.
The most important thing in logistics is food and grass.
When the ordnance is destroyed, it can be attacked by manpower. The holy light crossbow is gone, and ordinary feather arrows can also be used. In the most difficult moments, courage and willpower often play a very critical role. Powerless how to fight? Longxiang horses can't even stand up, so how can they march? Not to mention charge.
The Great Zhou Dynasty attached great importance to logistics, especially for this war, and related material preparations have lasted for a full ten years. If you count the Seventeen Walled City and the granaries in the north of Tianliang County, this kind of preparation dates back to the time of Tianhai Shenghou and Xiandi, and many of them were even made during Taizong's time.
Collecting and preparing food and grass is very difficult, and what is even more difficult and dangerous is transporting food and grass, especially as the war continues and the human army is victorious, more and more parts of the journey of food and grass are transported by demons Harassment and even large-scale ambushes may be encountered at any time.
From the perspective of safety and efficiency, the scale of transporting food and grass by the human army has become larger and larger, and the number of monks accompanying the team is increasing. Among them, the most important transportation team will even be personally escorted by the experts in the sacred field. Qiu Yu traveled from north to south several times.
Now that the war has entered the second half, Mao Qiuyu was seriously injured and returned to Hanshan to heal his injuries. Daoist Huairen, head of Lishan, Xiangwang, etc. were also unable to fight anymore, and Wang Po was responsible for keeping an eye on the magic commander, even if his injuries were not healed. You can't leave Snow Old City one step, and there is no way to be distracted in this regard. Fortunately, the demons are even worse. Since the start of the war, three saint domain powerhouses have fallen. Important figures such as the demon commander and the black robe, including the second demon general, cannot leave Xuelao City at all, so it is still a big deal. safer.
"The affairs of the imperial court are led by the Ministry of Household Affairs, and most of the southern goods are prepared by the Tang family and the Muzhe family. I don't understand why the Qiushan family is so concerned."
The food transport officer looked at a carriage in the convoy ahead and frowned.
Patriarch Qiushan and the legendary half-sacred priest were in that carriage, which put great pressure on the entire team.
The subordinate officer said: "Everyone knows that Patriarch Qiushan loves his son like an idiot, and is willing to spend such a great effort. It seems to be related to Lord Qiushan."
The grain transport officer thought about the rumors, and said with a slight mockery: "It turns out that I want to save face for Li Shan."
This is about the Northern Expedition many years ago.
The disciple of the Lishan Sword Sect who was in charge of transporting food missed his schedule for some reason, and was almost beheaded to death by Jin Yulu on the spot, and it was useless to ask anyone to intercede.
The last head of the Lishan Sword Sect used the master formula of the Lishan Sword Art to ask Baidi to come forward and save the lives of those disciples including Xiaosonggong.
It is another matter for Xiao Song Gong to be punished for the chaos in Li Shan.
For Li Shan Sword Sect, this can be said to be their only stain in the memory of the world, if not counting Su Li.
Now the Lishan Sword Sect is presided over by Lord Qiushan. The son of the real dragon who has been a little quiet these years, of course hopes to take this opportunity of this war to erase this stain. Or it was for this reason that the Qiushan family was so active, responsive to the court's requests, and even took the initiative to join the team going north.
"It's not just about face."
The subordinate officer said: "I heard that Lord Jin Yulu said personally that if this matter is handled properly, the master sword technique will be returned to Li Shan after the battle."
The food transport officer was startled, and then said enviously, "This is too simple."
If someone else said this, he might not believe it, but since Jin Yulu said it himself, he had to believe it.
After the war started, the Yaozu's reinforcements wandered around the grassland after leaving Congzhou, but they never came to the battlefield. The ruling and opposition parties of the Great Zhou Dynasty were already extremely angry and had great opinions, but no one had any opinions on Jin Yulu, let alone Have any doubts.
This is the prestige created by history, and it is also because until now, he still plays an extremely important role in this war.
Matters related to the army's logistics and supplies are now all handled by Jin Yuru, no matter how big or small, he will decide with one word.
This is the privilege and trust given to him by the Emperor Da Zhou and the Pope, but at the same time it is also a very terrible pressure.
Hundreds of school lieutenants from the military department, veteran officials from the household department, the accountant from the Tang family, the money and food secretary from the Wu family, plus the two servants he brought over from Baidi City, as well as the deputy Tang Thirty-six, all his subordinates, helped him share the pressure.
Now those old officials and accountants have fallen ill due to exhaustion, Tang Sanshiliu's high fever persisted, and he was sent to Hanshan.
Jin Yulu was so thin that only his bones remained, but he still persisted.
He won the awe of all soldiers.
There is a word in awe.
The grain transport officer looked at the mountain range in the distance, and his body trembled slightly, secretly hoping that nothing would go wrong.
The food transport trucks of this team can at least guarantee the food for the frontline soldiers for 20 days, but it is a very important food transport. It consists of 30,000 civil servants and thousands of carts, connected end to end, and is tens of miles long. There is no danger of being robbed of food, but the road is long, who knows what will happen, in case of a night, not to mention the death penalty, the military bag is not so good.
At this moment, a general rode to Patriarch Akiyama's car and whispered something. A moment later, the low voice of the Patriarch Qiushan came from inside the car, followed by shouts from all around. The stewards and guards of the Qiushan House became serious, and the team accelerated their pace. The sound of hoofbeats sounded densely, like a heavy rain, and the cavalry kept quickly overtaking the grain transport team and heading towards the far field, completing the work of clearing the road while scouting.
"It seems that we have to pass through Nuorilang before dark."
The grain transportation officer raised his horsewhip, pointed to the mountain range in the far field and said, "Then we will see Xingxing Gorge tomorrow."
…
…
Looking from the field, it is a mountain range standing under the sky.
Looking from the sky, there are five mountain ranges lined up in front of and behind the field.
Nuorilang is the highest mountain in these mountains. No matter the demons or humans, they are used to referring to this mountain range by the name Nuorilang.
No one thought that in a certain cliff peak at the west foot, there were actually more than a thousand demon wolf riders hidden at this time.
The bloodthirsty giant wolf with festering fur opened its mouth, exuding a stench, and the eyes of the emaciated demon cavalry were burning with a faint green light.
But whether it was these ferocious and unruly bloodthirsty giant wolves or the demon cavalry, they all kept absolutely quiet and did not make any sound.
The leader of the wolf cavalry looked very young, and his face was even a little immature, as if he was still a teenager.
His eyes were very old, as if he had read all the world and experienced countless pains.
"Burn all their food."
He looked at the wolf riders and said calmly, "Then died in the final charge."
