Ancient Drought: The Official Sacrificed Beauties, I Took Them All In

Jiang Tian transmigrated to the Great Xia Dynasty and was immediately met with a drought that had lasted for many years. The county magistrate, in order to pray for rain from the Dragon King, prepa...

Chapter 252 is settled; I'll only bring 2000 men.

"Everyone."

"I plan to depart tomorrow morning, leading 2,000 troops, traveling on two trains, straight to the capital."

Jiang Tian sat in the reception room, looking at everyone.

"My lord, the journey to the capital is long and arduous, and rebel forces are rampant along the way."

"My lord has only brought 2,000 soldiers, which is too few," Han Xin quickly stood up and said.

"My lord, I must go to the capital with you this time," Li Cunxiao quickly stood up and said, cupping his hands in greeting.

“My lord, if Li Cunxiao wants to go with you, then I will go with him too.”

Jiang Tian glanced at Li Cunxiao, then at Xiang Yu.

"Your mission is not to protect me, your mission is to expand our territory." Jiang Tian glanced at Han Xin, then at Xiao He.

"Now that we have abundant resources and such brave warriors, what's the point of keeping them around if we don't expand our territory?"

"We have now occupied Ji Province, and the Xiongnu cavalry are going to attack Qing Province."

"I expect you to take back the entire Qingzhou-Liaodong region before I return."

Han Xin nodded.

They now have ample supplies and a sufficient number of soldiers.

People enthusiastically joined the army.

Those who joined the army, on the other hand, longed to make a name for themselves.

If we don't go to war now, it will be too late to regret it later.

"My lord, both Xiang Yu and Li Cunxiao are quite skilled."

"Only by having these two men as your right-hand men to protect you on your journey to the capital can I feel at ease," Han Xin continued to emphasize.

"I have 2,000 men, which is enough for this trip to the capital."

Those people were nothing but a rabble. I've never taken them seriously.

"Alright, it's settled then."

"I hope that by the time I return from the capital, you will have conquered the entire north for me."

Han Xin and his men quickly cupped their hands and said, "Rest assured, my lord, we will conquer the entire north as quickly as possible."

"Alright, everyone, you can all go now." Jiang Tian waved to the crowd.

No one wanted to leave.

"I can fly in the sky, so why are you afraid that I might encounter any problems?"

Jiang Tian's words immediately silenced everyone.

Everyone then bowed and withdrew.

Jiang Tian sat in the armchair, legs crossed.

He opened the system.

In the character section, character icons have been flashing continuously for a long time.

Jiang Tian quickly swiped to the character icon section.

He wanted to see who the system would allow him to redeem this time.

A gaunt fellow, wielding two purple-gold hammers.

Li Yuanba.

No king surpasses Xiang Yu, no force surpasses Ba Chao, no general surpasses Li Yu…

Jiang Tian now has Xiang Yu and Li Cunxiao.

If we could exchange for Li Yuanba, that would be perfect.

Jiang Tian used up all his anger points without hesitation.

They redeemed Li Yuanba, his exclusive weapon, the Golden Hammer of the Drum, and his exclusive warhorse, the Myriad Clouds and Smoke Veil.

Li Yuanba was there to escort him.

There will be absolutely no unexpected events along the way.

...

The firing range outside the city.

The booming sound of cannons filled the air.

Jiang Tian was riding a horse.

Following behind was Li Yuanba, who wielded a golden hammer shaped like a drum.

Li Yuanba was short and thin, looking like a sickly old man.

The same was true of the horse that Li Yuanba rode, which was shrouded in mist and clouds.

However, this vast expanse of clouds and smoke looks like a gaunt army, but its speed is definitely fast enough.

"My lord, what's that loud rumbling sound ahead? Is it thunder in a clear sky?" Li Yuanba asked, looking rather simple-minded, with snot hanging from his nose.

"Li Yuanba, that's not thunder, that's the sound of cannons."

The group entered the shooting range.

Li Yuanba saw rows of dark cannons but wasn't interested at all.

The two golden hammers, used for beating drums, hung on either side of the misty clouds.

Li Yuanba rode on his warhorse, a roasted lamb leg in each hand, his mouth dripping with oil as he ate.

Everyone stepped forward.

Jiang Tian snapped his fingers, signaling them to continue.

Song Yingxing stood there, holding a monocular telescope, looking at the target in the distance.

Ling Yunzhi, Chen Feilong, and their 100-plus guard cavalry.

After several days of training, everyone became an expert at firing cannons.

Jiang Tian, ​​holding a telescope with a warhead, looked at the distant target: "Song Yingxing, your type of shell is quite effective at hitting distant targets."

But if the shell could explode again after hitting the enemy, that would be truly formidable.

"My lord, I have redesigned the cannonballs according to your requirements."

Song Yingxing snapped his fingers, and his apprentice drove over in a horse-drawn carriage.

The wagon was loaded with dozens of boxes of cannonballs.

Different types of shells have different uses.

"Take that chain shot down."

With a command from Song Yingxing.

A box of chain ammunition was unloaded.

This type of shell consists of two shells combined together, with a long iron chain attached between them.

"Prepare to fire the chain shot." This type of shell was not invented by Song Yingxing, but rather he manufactured it based on Jiang Tian's instructions.

Soon, two shells were loaded into the cannon.

Loading and launching.

A loud bang.

Two shells were fired at the same time.

Because the two cannons were connected by an iron chain, the two cannonballs were extremely fast.

The two shells flew forward while spinning at high speed.

A row of trees not far away was hit by the chain shot and snapped in two.
