Yamafu Military Affairs

Chapter 199 Cutting the Trouble with a Quick Sword

Sparks fell, lightning snakes danced wildly, and the scattered flames detonated the liquid Tianrui, and the loud noise resounded through the heavens and the earth.

boom! ! !
Thunder and lightning roared beneath his body, and the [Suanni Special Type] flapped its cloud wings, and its solid armored body suddenly turned into a scarlet stream of light, and then it rushed into the inky cloud hundreds of meters away!

Light, an extremely dazzling light illuminated the entire night sky, golden red flames burned everything, extremely fast and dense Jingzhe thunderbolts raged in the Imperial Guards, countless weapons were swept by the violent ripples of thunder and fire, in comparison, the meteorites that easily caused the earth dragon to turn over in the daytime seemed so powerless.

The blindingly red flames shot straight up into the sky, and the giant dark brown mushroom-shaped clouds expanded and spread out, with no end in sight.

The catastrophe of heaven and earth is nothing more than this.

Looking at the aftermath of the waves filled with lightning and flames indiscriminately cleansing and harvesting the remnants of the Western Barbarians, Qin Huai tapped his arm armor with his fingers, feeling that it was not satisfying enough.

"The wind is coming!"

Suddenly, flames swelled and strong winds surged.

The fire took advantage of the wind, and the wind helped the fire. The scarlet flames completely engulfed the entire Western Yi camp.

On the city wall, Guo Ziyun's eyes sparkled, and Fu Meng Maojie was shocked: "Brother, this method is too outrageous."

Even though they were several miles away and the aftermath was greatly weakened, the soldiers of the Shenwu Army still felt incredible about the terrifying power of the divine punishment coming from afar.

In the distance, the scorching wind blew against the visor of the Flying Cavalry Guard, burning the air and causing it to distort.

The strong winds continued, the flames continued, Lao Jiang rode his horse to Xue Wen and asked softly, "Vanguard, are the brothers ready?"

The Western Barbarians' camp was burning brightly in Xue Wen's eyes through the glazed eyepieces. His Kuilong horse snorted in excitement as it stepped on the muddy and frosty soil after the snow melted.

"set off!"

Xue Wen's face was as cold as iron, and large clouds of steam gushed out of the talismanic armor on his body. The Sky Riders and Crossbow Guards following closely behind him were few in number, but they were extremely aggressive.

Tap tap tap tap~
Large swaths of iron cavalry armor surged in from the wilderness, like red waves and black tides!
The armor of the heavy cavalry crossbow guards reflected the mottled and flickering firelight. The iron hooves of the Kuilong horse that led the way were like thunder. In the blink of an eye, it kicked aside the chevaux de frise that had been softened by the meteorite fire and rushed into the camp with a murderous aura.

Hundreds of cavalry guards stepped on the dying red and black ashes, their eyes flashing with brilliance as they explored the scorched earth, their crossbows and muskets in their hands ready to fire.

Qin Huai, hovering high in the sky, saw Xue Wen leading his troops rushing towards them with the power of Po Jun. He waved his hand and the blue-gold gale turned into a slightly white frosty wind, opening a wide road in the fire for the [Flying Cavalry Guard] to go straight to the main tent.

Seeing that everything was going well and the Shenwu Army was finishing its work in an orderly manner, Qin Huai nodded, flapped his wings, and returned to Talas before the meteorological force was exhausted.

In the tent of the Turkic leader, the metal branch had absorbed all the liquid heavenly treasures, sprouted and blossomed in the red soil of the iron basin, and produced a bunch of golden and jade fruits similar to grapes.

Qin Huai pulled open his visor, and black ripples flashed in his eyes.

[Ruilongzhu]: It absorbs the essence of plants after absorbing sufficient Tianrui. It can replenish Qi and blood, strengthen muscles and bones, and increase the internal energy of the eater.

Note: If Yamabu who possesses the power of fire eats this, it may have miraculous effects.

Qin Huai used his fingers to break the vine handle. After looking at it carefully for a while, he did not eat it immediately. Instead, he put it and the metal pot into his personal space.

After opening the door, Qin Huai patted Xiao Gui, who was staring at the sky in a trance, and whispered, "Come on, accompany me to the city wall to take a look."

"Okay, General."

A cool feeling spread from his shoulders to his whole body. Xiao Gui felt his injured body recovering and hurried to catch up with Qin Huai who had walked several meters away.

"General, what's wrong with me?"

"Oh, I just did it casually. You don't have to take it to heart."

Qin Huai replied casually, striding forward without stopping.

"The explosions stopped, but the Oriental cavalry came"

The [Silver Storm], with cold frost all over its body, flashed back under the holy coffin, and its voice was hoarse.

"Has that alien come yet?"

[Bronze Shepherd] Most of the beryllium bronze armor on the surface had melted, but his tone remained calm as he analyzed the current situation calmly.

"No, but there are several teams of Shenwu Tianqi coming, and there are quite a few of them."

[Silver Storm] spoke very quickly, and as he spoke, a large amount of cold air was sprayed out from his wrist to lower the ambient temperature.

"Be prepared to fight your way out. If it's too late, you'll die here."

Glancing at the medical officer and several mechanics who looked much better, the [Bronze Shepherd] did not hesitate at all.

"What should we do with the [Black Dragon]?"

"Stein and the chariot are both destroyed. We can't take them away. Abandon them immediately."

"clear."

The two Seraphim looked at each other, and instantly carried several skilled workers and rolled out of the temporary shelter formed by the holy coffin.

"who?!"

When a group of three crossbow guards saw the enemy fleeing, they shouted loudly and fired their crossbows as fast as heavy rain.

boom! boom! boom!
[Bronze Shepherd] Two small cannons extended from the back of his huge fist, and three explosive shells instantly hit the black horse's feet.

Ignoring the heavily-armored crossbow guards who were engulfed by the flames, the [Bronze Shepherd] and [Silver Storm] immediately crossed the line of fire and fled madly towards the southwest.

Perhaps because the noise they made was heard, explosions were also heard from the command post in the center of the Imperial Guards camp.

But the sound of the explosion was soon suppressed by the shouting and screaming. Just when the two [Bronze Shepherds] were only one step away from the exit of the fire, a huge red shadow slanted out from the side.

[Seraphim-Red O'Quinn]!
With the desperate resistance of many Seraphic Cavalry guards, O'Quinn barely escaped.

But behind him, there were several even larger balls of crimson flames!
Xue Wen was leading a group of Fire God Wu Tianqi, following closely behind him!

"You take them with you and follow the general. I will stay behind to cover your retreat."

The words of [Bronze Shepherd] were still calm and indifferent, but the decision he made shocked [Silver Storm].

"Don't die."

Silver Storm nodded immediately, pulled out two high-performance red mercury bombs from her side pocket and threw them at the pursuers. After taking over the mechanic and the medical officer, she did not hesitate and followed Red O'Quinn out of the fire scene.

The sound of hooves paused, and the Kuilong horse turned to crush the raging fire, narrowly avoiding two extremely unstable red mercury bombs.

Xue Wen looked at the Bronze Shepherd whose armor was particularly ferocious and huge, and stood on his horse with his spear in hand, stopping the remaining Flying Cavalry Guards who wanted to continue chasing him.

"This guy is not simple, be safe, and attack together!"

Thinking of Qin Huai's instructions, Xue Wen licked his cracked lips, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, which made people shudder. Hearing the reminder, the other five [Flying Cavalry Guards] did not dare to be careless at all, and immediately squeezed their horses' bellies and surrounded the [Bronze Shepherd].

Seeing that the [Bronze Shepherd] was motionless, the steam spouting from the tube mouth of the armor seam suddenly became thicker and the color changed from white to red. Xue Wen narrowed his eyes, suddenly shouted, and the steel spear in his hand flew out like a dragon!

"kill!"

Luoyang, the capital of gods

The Luo River flows from west to east across the capital, dividing it into two parts, north and south.

North of the Luo River, the imperial city and the palace city occupied the northwest corner, and there were twenty-nine blocks in the northeast corner; south of the Luo River, there were as many as seventy-eight blocks.

In the early years of Tianbao, the sage originally planned to change "Dongdu" to "Dongjing", but in the end, he listened to someone's advice and changed Luoyang back to "Shendu".

Luoyang had one Shendumu, who was remotely commanded by the prince. The prince did not take office, so the government affairs were actually managed by the Henan Yin. There were also two Shao Yins, who were of the fourth rank and served as deputies to the Henan Yin.

The Henan government office was located in Xuanfanfang, south of Luoshui, while Laojun Peak was located in Funiu Mountain in the southern suburbs of the city.

After many days of traveling and sleeping in the open air, Geshu Jing finally relied on the extraordinary strength of his Kuilong horse to reach the sacred capital Luoyang, thousands of miles away, from Suiye.

With the unique scarlet talisman armor and the iconic Kuilong horse of the Shenwu Tianqi, Geshu Jing had a smooth journey and arrived at Luozhou, Henan Prefecture at the fastest speed.

The people of Xuanfanfang had already been evacuated by the Fangzheng and the bad guys. The Kuilong horse, which was much taller than ordinary houses, galloped wildly on the street and arrived at the government office in the blink of an eye.

On this trip, Geshu Jing did not look for the Yin of Henan nor the two Shao Yins. Instead, he looked for the magistrate of Luoyang County who was in charge of the casting of the talisman armor.

However, since Luoyang County was affiliated to Henan Prefecture, he still had to visit the government office.

"Is Cui Shaoyin here?

"In the public house, please, General."

"Take good care of my horse and feed it more lean meat and eggs, otherwise you won't be able to bear it if it gets angry."

After Ge Shujing calmed Kui Longma, he strode to the first public room on the left side of the rear office, pushed the door open, and showed the token to Cui Youfu who was sitting there: "Yisun, take me to find Linghu quickly. My brother has something urgent to do and needs to see Luofu Zhenren."

The Cui family is a noble family of Boling and Qinghe. They had inherited the throne before the Jin Dynasty and were a well-known and prestigious family in Guandong. After the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Cui family served in the government in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Not only did many of their members become officials, but they also frequently married into the royal family. They were one of the most prominent five surnames and seven families during the Tianbao period.

Cui Youfu was the adopted son of Cui Mian, the Minister of Personnel.

At this time, he was checking the accounts. When he saw Ge Shujing rushing in, he looked up with a surprised expression: "Isn't Jingbo leading the Shenwu to Anxi to fight? What could have made you come back in person?"

As Ge Shujing sat down and poured tea, he kept talking: "We captured several Western Yi knights, they are rare elites. I think my elder brother found something after removing their armor, so he asked me to send a letter back."

Cui Youfu put down the account book, stroked his beard, and continued to ask: "Can you see any clues?"

Ge Shujing drank a sip of tea and shook his head, saying, "You know my attainments in talisman armor. I can do simple repairs, but I really don't understand anything else."

Cui Youfu nodded and stood up: "Follow me, Linghu should be in Yiyang preparing for the New Year."

The two men walked out of the public house and saw Cui Youfu asking people to prepare carriages and horses, but Geshu Jing waved his hand.

"Ordinary carriages are too slow, Yisun, why don't you ride the Red Flame with me?"

"The temperament of Kuilong is too fierce. My body can't handle it."

Cui Youfu waved his hand, turned around and got into the steam-powered carriage.

"You really don't mind the trouble."

Geshu Jing curled his lips, took the reins handed over by the clerk, and climbed onto the Kuilong horse.

The specially trained driver turned the kerosene steam output switch to a suitable position. With the sound of the boiler boiling, a large cloud of white steam gushed out from the carriage. The gear chain drove the inner wheel to provide assistance to the horse in front that controlled the direction.

As Kuilongma intentionally slowed down, Tianqi and his chariot drove side by side, and together they went out of the city gate and headed west.

From time to time on the way, Ge Shujing saw steam-driven farm machinery loosening the soil and digging ditches, and in several glass-topped greenhouses he could also see shadowy women pruning the branches of fruit trees.

"How's the harvest this year? Is it enough for the boys to eat?"

After hearing Geshu Jing's words, Cui Youfu in the carriage was silent for a while, and then he spoke slowly and clearly: "If we only consider the support of more than 300 prefectures, it is just barely enough. But the Prince of Dongping, the Jiedushi of Jiannan, and the Jingli of Lingnan have expanded the north and south, using the power of heaven to tame the frozen soil and the poisonous miasma of Nanzhao, and reclaimed countless fertile fields. This year's treasury has a surplus."

"If the two toughest bones, Tubo and Turkic, had not been dealt with by Renshuai (Wang Zhongsi), how could the actor An Pangzi have sat back and enjoyed the success?"

When Geshu Jing heard the name of King Dongping, he frowned and his words were full of disdain for An Lushan.

"I heard that the Prince of Dongping has been trying his best to please His Majesty recently, intending to get involved in the Hedong Jiedushi. If he succeeds, Ajing and my uncle will have to be careful."

The thunder-like news came out from the carriage. Ge Shujing frowned, feeling that something was wrong.

"That fat guy wants to be the governor of two towns without any military achievements? Does my father know about this?"

"The King of Xiping and the adults all know about it, but the King of Dongping is in favor of His Majesty, and Jingbo is not in the imperial court, so the adults really can't shake His Majesty's mind."

It was impossible to tell whether Cui Youfu was happy or angry in his voice, but his few words contained a lot of information.

"I will tell big brother about these things, but the most important task for Shenwu right now is to deal with the invading Western Barbarians and the Arabs. When big brother has made unparalleled military achievements, I wonder what that fat guy will use to compete with us? Will he use his hundred pounds of fat?"

Geshu Jing thought about it carefully for a while, but couldn't come up with any good solution, so he had to temporarily remain unchanged in the face of changing circumstances.

"The Western Regions plan is indeed the top priority. If Jingbo can return with a great victory and win the hearts and minds of all the people, and emulate Ziwen's past deeds, then the scoundrels in the court will indeed not be a concern."

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Is there any news about Zuo Jinwu? Even if the military officials are careful in their actions, they should at least spread some rumors, right?"

Geshu Jing grabbed two handfuls of Kuilong horse's flaming mane, intending to find out as much information as possible before returning to Chang'an.

"Lord Zuo Jinwu has mobilized his troops and called up his old subordinates a month ago. Calculating the time, he should be able to go to the frontline with you this time. However."

"But what?"

"However, the war of annihilation is a serious matter. The attitudes of the officials in the court towards the Nine Surnames of Zhaowu (the Nine Surnames of the Hu Kingdom) are ambiguous, and the specific rules are still unclear."

The voices in the car were faint and seemed a little confused.

"The Sogdians and Parthians have so many mineral deposits under their buttocks. This war will have to be fought sooner or later. In my opinion, it is better to cut the Gordian knot and station a few Zhechoufu on them first, rather than waiting for a long time and causing more trouble."

"That's right. I've been dealing with trivial matters for a long time. It's better for me to get to the point directly."

The two talked along the way and soon arrived at Yi Yang County at the northern foot of Funiu Mountain.
