Female special forces soldiers in ancient times

Six months later, at the training ground of the Daxia Pingxizhou Special Forces.

Li Tingting was sitting in a dark red chair.

Looking at the special forces soldiers undergoing grueling training in the distance.

The five special forces soldiers in front of me are all from various military camps.

Among the selected elites was, of course, Wei Yufeng.

Li Tingting specially appointed him as the special operations captain.

As for the two young masters, Li Qing and Li Rong, they also survived the training of the Imperial Guard.

Li Qing has now become the newest head of the Imperial Guard of the Great Xia Dynasty, while Li Rong is the deputy head.

After all, the security of the palace must be ensured by trusted people from within the palace.

As for Li Tingting's AK47 plan, it finally succeeded.

The production base is located in Pingxi Prefecture, which includes both Pingdong and Pingxi prefectures.

This area is directly under the jurisdiction of Li Tingting.

More than 70% of the people in the two states are relatives of martyrs who died in the defense of Beijing two years ago.

It can be said that the people of these two states are the most loyal to Li Tingting in the entire Great Xia Dynasty.

In addition, the southern states were all garrisoned by Liu Xun's inner guard.

It's basically the territory under her control.

Having completed this series of arrangements, Empress Dowager Li Tingting, who held both military and political power,

My current position is secure.

"Hey!"

Li Tingting gazed into the distance and sighed.

In ancient times, without sophisticated assembly lines, guns were manufactured...

Hand grenades and mortars can also be made.

But the efficiency is just too poor, too slow.

After six months of all-out effort, they could only produce ten finished guns.

The purification and loading of the matching bullets all relied on the craftsmen's trial and error.

The number I've accumulated is pitifully small, only a few hundred rounds.

They did manage to tinker with three mortars.

They are all manual and portable models; once disassembled, one person can carry them around.

The cannon barrel is made of cast steel and repeatedly tempered.

It could barely withstand the chamber pressure of black powder shells.

The range and accuracy depend entirely on the gunner's experience.

Of course, Li Tingting didn't forget to leave herself a backup plan.

She followed the blueprints from her memory.

The most skilled blacksmith was commissioned to forge a small Type 54 pistol on his own.

The gun was polished to a gleaming shine and tucked into a special leather holster on his waist.

They are unassuming in ordinary times, but can surprise you at crucial moments.

Also, after finishing the work on firearms,

She also assigned some craftsmen to carve out twenty sets of heavy armor during their spare time.

This heavy armor is no ordinary leather or scale armor.

It is a genuine, full-body iron armor.

From the helmet on the head to the shin guards on the ankles,

Even the joints are connected with fine iron rings.

It also had double-layered iron plates added to the front and back, so from a distance, it looked...

The armored soldiers looked like moving lumps of iron.

These twenty heavily armored soldiers stood on the training ground.

The atmosphere was completely different. Ordinary swords and blades struck the armor...

It left only a white mark; that was the most powerful armor-piercing crossbow in the army.

Even from fifty paces away, you can't expect to penetrate the armor.

Li Tingting looked at the imposing heavily armored soldiers in the arena.

A hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

The number of firearms is too small to be of significant use.

These heavily armored soldiers were her powerful weapons for attacking fortified positions.

They could break through enemy lines while charging into battle, braving a hail of arrows.

When defending, they can form an iron wall.

On ancient battlefields where cold weapons were the primary weapon,

It is absolutely a weapon that can turn the tide of battle.

She stood up and dusted off the back of the chair.

Looking towards the direction of Pingxi Prefecture.

Ten guns, three cannons, and twenty suits of heavy armor—it doesn't seem like much.

But it was in this era that she...

The first indestructible line of defense built by our own hands.

In short, with these assets,

Li Tingting's back can finally stand up straight again.

Hmph! How dare the Sand Goose Kingdom be so audacious!

Taking advantage of my illness, they want to kill me.

Fine! You just wait, you've forced me to pay so much tax.

You'll have to vomit it all back out, tenfold, just like you ate it.

As for the Wu and Wang families, Li Tingting could breathe a sigh of relief.

After Wang Chong and Wang Song were taught a lesson by Wang Yuyan last year,

Things have calmed down now, and he hasn't been in contact with Wu Lixin anymore.

Wu Xiong'an's two clansmen continued to stir up trouble in the imperial court.

Only the Wu brothers were still jumping around happily.

Because they were certain that Li Tingting's current military strength was weak.

That's why these two acted so recklessly.

Hehe, once my special forces soldiers are fully trained...

Just wait and see how I deal with you.

Thinking of this, a mischievous smile appeared on Li Tingting's face.

He picked up the tea on the table and drank it all in one gulp.

Then, she thought of the child in the palace in the capital.

Although she had only been out of the palace for a few days, she still missed him terribly.

He really is a troublemaker; he was restless even when he was in my belly.

Now that he's out, he's still incredibly mischievous.

He has already learned to call her "Mother," but what makes Li Tingting both laugh and cry is that...

The little guy called Li Qing "Third Uncle" more often than he called her "Mother."

Every time he saw Li Qing, they would become incredibly affectionate, especially since Li Qing was the head of the Imperial Guards.

I usually play with him whenever I have free time, which makes the little guy laugh out loud.

As a result, even when Li Qing isn't around, he'll still call out in a cute way.

"Third Uncle, Third Uncle!"

Hey! Why don't you ever call me "your mother" more often?

Thinking of this, Li Tingting shook her head and smiled bitterly again.

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps came from...

The sound, both near and far, broke the silence of the training ground.

A messenger, covered in dust, stumbled and ran towards Li Tingting.

He knelt on one knee, his voice filled with barely concealed anxiety:

"Your Majesty the Empress Dowager! Urgent military intelligence from Fuzhou in the Eastern Territory!"

Upon hearing this, Li Tingting's smile vanished instantly.

She looked up at the messenger and said, "Speak."

"The Eastern Kingdom has approximately 150,000 people."

Their troops have already reached the Wangjiang Ferry crossing outside Fuzhou in the east of our territory!

Scouts reported that the enemy was setting up camp along the river and preparing their ships.

It's less than 100 li (50 kilometers) from Fuzhou!

"Yes, I already know. Go back and deliver a message to General Ma Liangyu for me."

Li Tingting slowly stood up, pacing back and forth with her hands behind her back, while slowly issuing orders.

The voice was as deep and cold as iron; the warmth and smile from just moments before had vanished completely.

"He was ordered to assemble 120,000 troops from the central provinces within three days."

Rushing to the aid of Fuzhou in the eastern border region under cover of darkness!

The messenger looked up abruptly, a hint of shock flashing in his eyes.

With 120,000 troops, the total military strength of the Great Xia Dynasty was only 200,000.

"All troops stationed within the territory of Fuzhou are under the command of General Ma Liangyu."

He was in charge of all the supplies, weapons, and post roads.

During wartime, absolute command authority is absolute and no one else may interfere!

Li Tingting paused, her tone becoming more serious, "Also,

The Empress Dowager has decreed that upon Ma Liangyu's arrival, he should first adopt a defensive posture and not launch an attack.

We must firmly guard the key fortresses along the Wangjiang Ferry and proceed with utmost care and determination.

Let's first see clearly what these 150,000 troops from the Eastern Kingdom are really planning!

"Yes, sir!" The messenger kowtowed deeply.

He even forgot to brush the dust off his knees when he got up.

He turned and galloped towards the horse farm.

The sound of horses' hooves soon faded away at the end of the training field.
