Lu Qingsheng came out of Village Chief Li's house, looked in the direction of Jiang Qinyu's house, took a deep breath, and clenched his fists.
He will definitely do his job well and try to catch Lu Yanzheng's eye so that he can also experience the joy of the people of Dingshui Village!
After half a day, he could clearly see that the smiles on the faces of the people in Dingshui Village were genuine and that everyone was very enthusiastic. In their eyes, he saw something called "hope".
The only thing Lu Qingsheng still can't quite let go of is Lu Yanzheng's appearance. Does he really look as much like his deceased wife as Xiao Qing said? Could he be from his deceased wife's family?
...
Before Prince Yong and Mr. Qingfeng could even carry out their plan to shift the blame, it was shattered by the terrified shouts of the messengers throughout Prince Yong's camp.
"It's terrible! The Northwest Army is attacking!"
Following closely behind the messenger was a blazing cannonball that struck their granary with pinpoint accuracy!
"The grain warehouse is on fire! Help put out the fire!"
"The Northwest Army is just a mile away. Prepare to meet the enemy! Prepare to meet the enemy!"
"..."
In an instant, Prince Yong's camp was thrown into chaos.
Prince Yong hurriedly pulled on his trousers, asking, "What happened? What? The Northwest Army has attacked? How could that be?"
He hasn't received a single message!
Prince Yong naturally wouldn't receive the news, because all the spies they had planted in the Northwest Army had been killed.
"We don't know where these people came from, but they have powerful gunpowder weapons and have already burned down our granaries!"
Upon hearing that the granary had been burned, Prince Yong was enraged and roared, "Are you all fools? They have gunpowder weapons, don't we? Quickly send the artillery battalion to engage them!"
As he spoke, he had already dressed and strode out.
But his personal guards stopped him, anxiously saying, "You can't go, Your Highness! The enemy is coming with great force, I'm afraid..."
"What are you afraid of!" Prince Yong spat. "We're all using gunpowder weapons, and you've seen the formula the Western Qiang gave us before, so what are you cowering for? Charge!"
He ignored his guards' attempts to stop him and charged ahead.
The person leading this team was Qin Shen.
The man who was originally carefree and jovial was now calmly and collectedly observing the battle.
He was holding binoculars when he saw the Yongwang army suddenly bow and salute to someone.
Qin Shen said to the people around him, "Place an incendiary bomb 600 meters directly ahead."
"But General, we only have three incendiary bombs in total..." the soldier in charge of managing the shells said with difficulty.
This thing was something their ordnance bureau had worked so hard to develop. It's still an experimental product, but because it has flammable properties, it's easy to burn enemy tents and provisions, so they brought out a few of them.
Qin Shen said, "Prince Yong is just ahead. If you want to avenge those innocent villagers, listen to me and release him immediately!"
He had met Prince Yong, a man who was arrogant and conceited, yet always trying to hide himself. However, he was unwilling to be ordinary, so he would always wear his hair crown high, a crown inlaid with gold and colorful gemstones. Even if he could not see the face of the person opposite him, he could identify the other person by that crown.
Upon hearing that it was Prince Yong who had come out, the soldier immediately said angrily, "If it's Prince Yong, I wouldn't be satisfied even if I used all three incendiary bombs on him!"
Having said that, he immediately handed the shell to the gunner, helped him calibrate the direction and distance, and then shouted, "Fire!"
After a long howl, a perfect parabola once again appeared above the Yongwang army.
"Protect the Prince!" Upon seeing this, all the guards protected Prince Yong, trying to dodge the cannonball.
But they were a step too late. With a "bang," the incendiary bomb exploded, and a raging fire rose up in the wind, instantly igniting the clothes of many people and setting the grass under their feet ablaze. This area of Yongwang's army turned into a group of burning figures.
Prince Yong could hardly believe that he had actually been hit!
"Ah! Help! Fire! Damn it, you idiots, put out the fire for me!" Prince Yong roared in a fit of impotence and rage, rolling around on the ground.
However, their bodies and the ground were engulfed in flames that could not be extinguished. In an instant, everyone was filled with despair, and no one cared about Prince Yong.
Seeing the sea of fire ahead, Qin Shen pointed his long sword forward and shouted, "Kill all who resist! Kill them all!"
After saying that, he rushed out first!
He was nothing like what he told Lu Yanzheng; he wouldn't charge into battle.
The Northwest Army was always disciplined and obeyed orders without hesitation. Upon receiving a command, they all charged forward without regard for their own safety.
They all knew why they had launched the attack. Seeing the Yongwang army engulfed in flames, they felt a sense of satisfaction, but also a sense of injustice for the innocent civilians who had perished.
These scumbags not only robbed grain and slaughtered villages, but afterwards they also burned those villages to the ground.
They are so cruel and heartless, so the Northwest Army will let them taste the pain of being burned alive!
Qin Shen went berserk, his eyes fixed on Prince Yong's iconic headdress, relentlessly attacking him!
After much commotion, the flames on Prince Yong and his personal guards subsided, and they came face to face with Qin Shen.
"Madmen! You bunch of madmen!" Prince Yong shouted, enduring the burning pain all over his body, completely losing his princely demeanor.
Qin Shen stared at him coldly, as if he were a dead man, and raised his sword, ordering, "Kill Prince Yong!"
After saying that, he threw the long sword from his hand and aimed it straight at Prince Yong's face!
At the same time, Lu Yanzheng also arrived at the first ferry crossing.
Lu Yao arranged for the first wave of supplies to be delivered to the shore, with a fleet of small boats being launched from the massive warship.
That's right, it's a team.
