Then came another burst of booming cannon fire.

Song Yingxing tested the exploding bullet.

This type of shell is filled with gunpowder and iron nails.

After the shell was fired, it first killed a group of people.

Then a violent explosion occurs in the crowd, killing another group of people.

This doubled the power.

"Not bad, not bad," they said, seeing the shells loaded with nails hit the woods and explode violently inside, snapping tree branches in half.

Jiang Tian knew that this type of shell was quite powerful.

"Ling Yunzhi, Chen Feilong, you two take your men and come with me."

"Li Yuanba, you are entrusted with the two cavalry units. You will ride with us in the carriage."

Li Yuanba shook his head and patted the clouds and mist covering the sky: "My lord, I think it's better for me to ride a horse."

After saying that, the guy rolled up his sleeves and wiped the snot that had dripped to the corner of his mouth.

Li Yuanba's IQ is only seventy or eighty; this guy can do whatever he wants.

As long as you feed him, he'll fight whoever he wants.

The flying hammer that Li Yuanba just displayed shocked everyone present.

Neither Chen Feilong nor Ling Yunzhi expected that Li Yuanba, with his skinny frame, could throw a hammer weighing four or five hundred pounds hundreds of meters!

Jiang Tian was even more surprised.

Li Yuanba truly lived up to his reputation as someone who wanted to attack the Thunder God in the sky with a drum-beating golden hammer.

...

Early the next morning.

Two trains departed from the city in a grand procession.

In order to carry more people, Song Yingxing has been working day and night for the past few days to attach more than a dozen carriages to the back of the train.

Amidst cheers from the crowd.

The vehicle moved slowly.

After leaving the city, the train sped up.

Accompanied by a series of melodious whistles, the train quickly reached a speed of 30 miles per hour.

Shangguan Wan'er and Jiang Tian sat in the first-class carriage.

A dozen or so palace ladies followed closely behind.

This little girl was taking the train over the Yangtze River for the first time.

The truck was driving fast and steadily.

The horses were much better than the ones they had ridden when they came.

Li Yuanba held a ten-pound roasted lamb leg in one hand, and tied two golden hammers with ropes, hanging them on his shoulders.

"Li Yuanba, get in the car," Jiang Tian invited more than once.

This guy just shook his head and refused to get on the bus.

"My lord, I'm riding my horse behind this carriage. It's quite comfortable; there's no need for me to get on."

Li Yuanba had the mind of a child. This guy rode Wanli Yunyanzhao, sometimes rushing to the front of the group, sometimes falling behind.

"My lord, I'll go scout ahead." Before Li Yuanba finished speaking, he brandished his two golden drum-shaped hammers and spurred his horse forward at full speed.

…………

Jianmen Pass.

Feng Huoliancheng led 5,000 cavalry.

"General Feng Huo Lian Cheng," several scouts rushed in to report, "Yuwen Chengdu of the Yuwen family has led 5,000 elite troops to intercept Jiang Tian."

Upon hearing this, Feng Huo Lian Cheng snorted coldly: "The Great Xia Dynasty has no useful people. What is this Yuwen Chengdu anyway? How dare he steal my credit?"

"General Feng Huo Lian Cheng, Yuwen Chengdu of the Yuwen family, has been incredibly strong since childhood. It is said that he can lift a cauldron, drag beams and overturn pillars, and pull up nine oxen with his strength," said Deputy General Ye Jinghua.

"Does your building have people like that? If your building had people like that, how come you've been bullied like this by our Great Liao?"

"General, what should we do now? Should we sit back and watch the tigers fight, or..."

Feng Huoliancheng's two eyes rolled around: "Of course, we'll sit back and watch the tigers fight. I heard you have a kind of deadly poison called Qilin Smoke?"

It works even better than our "Sad Breeze" (a type of herbal tea).

Ye Jinghua nodded: "The Grand Secretary instructed us that we have brought the Qilin Smoke. General, when shall we release the Qilin Smoke?"

"Whether it's Yuwen Chengdu or Jiang Tian, ​​once I have the Qilin Smoke, I will definitely wipe them both out."

"Pass down the order: we will set up an ambush at Jianmen Pass. The enemy will not be able to set foot in Jianmen Pass."

"promise……"

"How far away is that beast Jiang Tian's convoy from here?"

"It's less than a hundred li, and it should arrive here today."

Upon hearing this, Feng Huo Lian Cheng was immediately shocked: "A hundred li away, they can reach us tonight? Did they fly here?"

“General, you may not know this, but the enemy only sent one horse, and the rest were two strangely shaped carriages,” the scout quickly said. “Each carriage is a hundred zhang long.”

Before the scout could finish speaking, he was struck hard across the face with a whip.

"Nonsense, what kind of vehicle can be a hundred zhang long? I have never seen such a vehicle before."

The scout cavalryman had a long gash on his face from being slapped.

"General, what I say is true. This kind of carriage does not need horses at all; it can run on its own and makes a huge, strange noise."

Feng Huo Liancheng didn't believe it at all, and swung his horsewhip, lashing out at him across the face.

Snap snap snap...

A dozen lashes struck the scout cavalryman's face, leaving it mangled and bleeding profusely.

"You spread rumors and sow discord among the troops. I'll kill you!" Feng Huo Lian Cheng roared.

With a whoosh, the guy drew the curved knife from his waist.

A scout cavalryman nearby saw this and quickly said, "General, please calm down. Ding San is mistaken. It's just that the enemy's convoy is moving very closely together, which makes it appear to be only a hundred zhang long."

Feng Huo Lian Cheng nodded and chopped off the scout cavalryman's arm with a single stroke: "Think things through before you speak. Otherwise, my next stroke will be your head."

The scout clutched his severed arm and collapsed to the ground, screaming in agony.

Everyone was furious when they saw it, but dared not speak out.

Since they were trained by Feng Huo Lian Cheng, they have suffered heavy casualties.

Every day people died there, and almost everyone was injured.

These two scout cavalrymen were beheaded and whipped dozens of times over a mere disagreement.

"Shut your filthy mouth! If you make another sound, I'll chop you up right now!" Feng Huo Lian Cheng roared at the scout cavalryman lying on the ground.

The scout quickly retreated a few steps. Blood was streaming down his face, and he was deathly pale. He didn't even dare to scream.

The two scout cavalrymen stepped aside.

"Brother, thank you for speaking up for me. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to keep my head today." Ding San was covered in sweat and blood.

"This Feng Huo Lian Cheng has never given us, the people of Great Xia, a second glance. This guy is despicable and shameless. He'd take our lives at the slightest provocation."

If we continue to follow him, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Ding San nodded after hearing this.

"All I want now is to kill Feng Huo Liancheng. As long as this beast lives, we'll suffer every day." The two men exchanged a glance. "If they don't want us here, there are plenty of other places that will. We can't keep working for the Grand Secretary."
