Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

"Yes."

Qin Ming nodded lightly. This plan had been brewing in his mind for a long time.

So what if they have more people? Without quick adaptation to firearms combat, Daqian will inevitably lose!

Lingnan has been a poor place for many years, and its development is naturally restricted.

But Huxi is different, it is very wealthy.

In this place, the money Qin Ming can earn will be several times more than that in Huxi!

With just Lingnan, Qin Ming could spend several years to raise such a powerful army.

If he takes over Huxi, his strength will only become more terrifying.

"Great! Can I come with you?"

Liu Chuang rubbed his hands, feeling a little excited.

"Okay, both of you lead your troops over."

Qin Ming thought for a moment and decided to let both of them go.

Chang Baishan, Wu Qingye, plus Liu Chuang and Cao Chuan.

These four generals will definitely turn Huxi upside down!

"it is good!"

Liu Chuang and Cao Chuan led the soldiers from the four camps of Feng, Lin, Huoshan and others and started to attack outside the city.

Qin Ming was stationed in Yueyang City.

On the other side, after several rounds of attacks on Qin Ming.

Huangfu Taiping was completely paralyzed.

He saw with his own eyes that the artillery he made was like tickling the enemy's city walls.

It has no effect at all.

Even a few artillery pieces exploded on the spot.

This caused his soldiers to suffer a severe explosion!

More than a dozen people were killed or injured at once.

"General, the King of Qin's men are here!"

Under the cover of night, several scouts quickly ran back and reported the situation to Huangfu Taiping.

Huangfu Taiping also saw a group of people in the distance.

They rode their war horses and rushed towards the hillside where they were at a very fast speed.

"There they are!"

Liu Chuang held a telescope and kept confirming Huangfu Taiping's movements.

A fierce chase began between the two sides.

Huangfu Taiping made a prompt decision and turned around to leave.

But they were caught up after walking less than twenty miles.

"Huangfu Taiping! Give me your life!"

Liu Chuang, holding a saber, slashed through the crowd horizontally and vertically, causing a bloody storm, and killed Huangfu Taiping.

Huangfu Taiping also drew out his long sword to block.

The two men kept clashing amidst the flashing of swords and sabers.

But soon, Huangfu Taiping discovered something wrong.

"How...how did you improve so quickly?"

He felt a terrifying internal energy coming along with the opponent's weapon.

This internal force was so strong that it even cracked his tiger's mouth!

"Your Highness is the new generation leader of the Luo Cult, do you understand?"

"What! He taught you a skill?"

Huangfu Taiping reacted quickly.

It is said that each generation of Luojiao's leader will inherit the tradition of the previous dozen generations.

His internal strength is unparalleled in the world, almost as vast as the rivers and seas!

Qin Ming practiced for a period of time and gradually mastered this power.

Then I learned the method of initiation.

He could never use up all that vast internal energy.

So he allocated one percent of it to give initiations to Cao Chuan and Liu Chuang.

This made the internal strength of the two people take a huge leap forward!

Now the combat effectiveness has also been greatly improved.

"Your Highness is not a stingy person!"

Liu Chuang laughed loudly and swung the saber in his hand repeatedly.

Click.

The long sword in Huangfu Taiping's hand broke, and his chest was hit by the handle of the saber.

puff!

Huangfu Taiping spat out a mouthful of blood.

Turning around, he wanted to ask someone to retreat with him.

But at this moment he suddenly saw an astonishing scene!

The soldiers from Lingnan were like divine troops descending from the sky, and the light cavalry under his command were not even a match for them!

Not long after coming into contact with the other side, they all quickly collapsed!

This scene made Huangfu Taiping extremely shocked.

"Impossible! How could Lingnan have such strength and train such brave soldiers?!"

Liu Chuang said very proudly:

"In my camp, we eat eggs and meat from the farmhouse every day, and we also have medicine specially provided for those who practice martial arts."

"The money your highness spends on them every month is two or three times the military pay of these guys!"

"What are you comparing it to?"

Huangfu Taiping was shocked and turned away without stopping.

That night, of the three thousand soldiers he led out, only more than two hundred returned.

The rest were killed or captured.

As soon as he returned to the military camp, Huangfu Taiping wanted to find Jiang Kaiyu to apologize. After all, it was his poor leadership last night that caused them to suffer such a huge loss.

But just as he walked outside Jiang Kaiyu's tent, he saw a group of fungus generals all standing there, their faces ashen.

"My Lord, this is..."

"How many people do you have left?"

Jiang Kaiyu seemed to have known what had happened for a long time, and spoke directly with a dark face.

"More than two hundred."

Huangfu Taiping lowered his head and spoke guiltily.

But the imagined blame did not appear.

Instead, Jiang Kaiyu sighed slowly.

"I thought he could just leave the city, but I didn't expect you guys couldn't defeat him even if he left!"

"what is this!"

After hearing this, Huangfu Taiping finally reacted.

"My Lord, besides me, is there anyone else..."

"The defense lines they held last night were all severely damaged!"

Jiang Kaiyu pointed at the group of generals under him.

Now he had to admit that not being able to win was not his problem at all.

But Qin Ming is too strong.

He couldn't even help thinking about it.

It would have been great if the former crown prince of the empire had not left the capital.

Huangfu Taiping told Jiang Kaiyu about his battle with Qin Ming with artillery last night.

Jiang Kaiyu was not discouraged at all when he learned that the artillery did not effectively kill Qin Ming.

"Keep researching the artillery. As long as we have it, it's fine. It doesn't matter if the effect is worse than theirs. We still have the numbers to support us!"

He has the right idea.

As long as they keep up with Qin Ming's pace, sooner or later they will be able to produce countless artillery pieces and win by quantity.

During this buffer period, we just need to defend against Qin Ming’s attack.

After a while, they will definitely win!

At this time, Jiang Kaiyu, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke.

"Then, Lord, what should we do with our defense line now?"

"Keep fighting them!"

As Jiang Kaiyu gave the order.

On the same day, more than 50,000 troops came to support the Huxi defense line.

They formed a dense human wall and started a tug of war with Qin Ming.

Both sides are fighting for this critical war node.

For half a month, no one stopped.

Just as the time of their battle continued to pass, winter arrived as expected.

The temperature gradually dropped. Although there was no heavy snow in the south, the slightly cold air still temporarily slowed down their battle.

On this day, when Cao Chuan brought his soldiers back to Yueyang City for supplies, he found Qin Ming.

"Your Highness, the temperature has dropped recently, making it difficult for our army to move forward."

"I want the people at the textile factory to help me make some cotton clothes."

Cao Chuan has considered everything very carefully.

Compared with the imperial court, Qin Ming's strongest points are research capabilities and large-scale production capabilities.

"Okay, I'll ask them to send 10,000 sets."

Qin Ming calculated the cost and told Cao Chuan a number.

"Ten thousand sets? Can you make that?"

"Don't worry, I have already started building the second factory."

Qin Ming raised the corner of his mouth and told him a shocking news.

Upon hearing this, Cao Chuan's eyes widened.

"Your Highness, you..."
