With a million soldiers, the empress begged me not to rebel

After settling this group of strange contestants, Lu Yan returned to the government office.

I stretched my body and heard a crisp "click".

He was so scared that he quickly touched his waist. Fortunately, he was not injured.

"Oh, what a worrying life!"

He rubbed his temples and felt his head buzzing.

During the Chinese New Year, everyone is at home eating dumplings and setting off firecrackers.

It's a real headache for him to have to deal with all this crap here.

Looking around, the government office was empty and deserted, even quieter than his family's ancestral grave.

Apart from a few yamen runners on duty, there was not even a ghost to be seen.

These yamen runners all looked listless, and some were dozing off on the table.

Some of them gathered together and whispered, probably complaining about him, the unkind prefect.

Lu Yan was so angry. These guys had a more comfortable New Year's celebration than me!

I'm here working myself to death worrying about the war, while they're just sitting there doing nothing!

He was so angry that he fumed and glared, and he wanted to drag all these guys out and give them a beating.

"Oh, forget it, forget it. A great man does not bear grudges against a small man."

Lu Yan muttered and walked towards the city wall.

He had to go and see how the city defenses were prepared.

We can’t let Beixiang Kingdom take advantage of this opportunity.

On the city wall, soldiers were patrolling nervously, and the atmosphere was as heavy as a pot of burnt porridge.

Each soldier was wearing iron armor and holding a spear.

He stared into the distance vigilantly, as if thousands of troops would attack him in the next second.

Lu Yan climbed up the city wall and felt a cold wind blowing towards him.

He couldn't help but shiver and felt a lot more energetic.

Looking at the rolling hills in the distance, my mind is filled with a myriad of thoughts.

These mountains, these waters, and this city all belong to him, Lu Yan!

Whoever dares to attack him will be killed without return!

"Han Sheng!" Lu Yan shouted.

Han Sheng, who was dozing off, was so frightened that he almost fell off the city wall.

He hurried to Lu Yan, raised his head and chest, and answered loudly:

"My Lord, the city walls have been reinforced, and the rolling logs, stones, gold, and kerosene are all ready!

Guaranteed to make the invading enemy have no way back! I also specially prepared a super invincible Thunderbolt invincible giant firecracker.

Give them a surprise then!"

Lu Yan nodded with satisfaction, patted Victor Han on the shoulder, and encouraged:

"Alright! Whether we can defend Shannan Prefecture this time depends on you! If you can't, you will come to me with your heads in your hands!"

"Please rest assured, sir! I will defend Shannan Prefecture to the death! Even if the enemy falls from the sky.

I promise to beat them to a pulp!"

Han Sheng was passionate and full of fighting spirit, and he almost performed a stone-breaking chest-smashing performance on the spot.

Lu Yan inspected several important checkpoints without stopping.

He repeatedly told the garrison to be on high alert, to guard the area strictly and not let even a fly in.

Even the toilets were checked, for fear that the enemy would come out of them.

He knew that Beixiang State had always coveted Shannan Prefecture.

The rebellion in Java was a perfect opportunity for them to take advantage of the situation.

After completing the inspection, Lu Yan dragged his tired body back to the government office.

He slumped down in his chair, feeling as if his bones were falling apart.

Being a prefect is more tiring than working in his previous life.

"Someone, come and bring me a pot of good tea!"

Lu Yan shouted at the top of his voice. He just wanted to have a good rest and wait for news from Tu Rong.

A young yamen runner came running in and poured Lu Yan a cup of tea.

The tea was turbid in color, with a few tea leaves floating in it.

Lu Yan picked up the teacup, took a sip, and almost spit it out.

"What is this? Slop? Go make it again!"

The young yamen runner was so frightened that he shuddered and quickly changed the cup of tea.

This time the tea was finally a little clearer, but it tasted a bit like foot washing water.

Lu Yan was too lazy to care about it. He gulped down a few mouthfuls and finally recovered.

"I don't know what's going on with Tu Rong."

He muttered to himself and fidgeted restlessly.

At this time, the Haixia Pass in Java.

There were loud drums and gongs, firecrackers, red flags waving, and huge crowds of people...

Oh no, it's another scene.

It is no exaggeration to say that it was a dark and windy night, so dark that you couldn't see your hand in front of you.

Only a few sparse stars in the sky were blinking.

Tu Rong and his navy brothers were like night owls.

Quietly reached the embankment of Haixia Pass.

They all held their breath, not daring to breathe.

They were afraid of alarming the guards on the dam or the fish, shrimps and crabs in the river.

You have to know that this is a military operation, not going to the vegetable market to buy vegetables.

You have to do it secretly and without anyone knowing.

It was pitch dark under the dam, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you.

Tu Rong and the others groped their way forward one by one, bumping into each other from time to time and exclaiming "Ouch" and "Oh my God!"

If Tu Rong had not stopped them in time, they would have almost shouted the code word "The King of Heaven covers the Earth, the Tiger of Pagoda suppresses the River Monster".

If this gets discovered, we're screwed.

After finally reaching the designated location, bundles of timed thunder bombs were carefully placed at key locations on the embankment.

This thunder bomb is not an ordinary thunder bomb. It is a new type of explosive that Lu Yan spent a lot of time upgrading.

It is extremely powerful, has a wide explosion range, and is said to produce colorful fireworks effects.

The fuse was emitting sparks.

Tu Rong took a deep breath and asked in a low voice:

"Are you all ready?"

"Ready, Captain!"

The men answered in unison.

This is their first time to blow up a dam, it’s exciting just thinking about it!

"Light the fire!" Tu Rong gave an order, and his men immediately lit the fuse.

Tu Rong stared at the fuse intently, counting down silently in his mind:

Five, four, three, two, one...

He didn't dare to go too far, for fear of missing this critical moment.

There is only one chance to blow up the dam, and if it fails, the consequences will be disastrous.

He had even begun to imagine that the dam would explode and a flood would occur.

The scene of Javanese soldiers crying and running away in all directions.

"Boom!" A deafening explosion resounded through the night sky.

Then came the rumbling sound of a flood.

The sound was louder than a hundred firecrackers going off at the same time.

More shocking than a thousand gongs and drums playing together!

The huge water flow is like a wild horse that has broken free from its reins, or like a group of mad rhinos.

It roared and broke through the dam, rushing towards the towns and villages of Java.

The momentum is even more spectacular than a dragon emerging from the sea!

That speed is faster than a rocket and more powerful than a meteor!

Although Tu Rong's "new version of the thunder bomb" has a timing function, it gave them enough time to escape.

But Tu Rong was still too close, probably because he wanted to appreciate his "masterpiece" up close!
