Li Guang shook his head. He didn't know what the Iron General was, nor what it was used for.
"This commander is unaware of the matter; please enlighten me, General Ge."
Ge Kaishan sighed and said:
"It turns out the marshal didn't know about this either. The Iron General is a type of cannon developed by Jia Feng. According to Jia Feng, this cannon is extremely powerful and can kill hundreds or thousands of people with a single shot."
Jia Feng has built ten Iron General cannons in the northern frontier, intending to use them against you. If these Iron Generals fire simultaneously, they will unleash devastating power, causing countless casualties among your soldiers. The city walls will collapse, and the city gates will be destroyed.
Li Guang was greatly surprised upon hearing this.
"Is what General Ge said true? Why are you telling me this?"
"The Marshal's words just now have greatly benefited me. In order to spare the people of both countries from the suffering of war, the Marshal must win."
After Ge Kaishan finished speaking, he appeared to be in great pain. He told Li Guang this news, which meant that he had betrayed the foreign country, a decision that was hard for him to bear.
Li Guang turned around, helped Ge Kaishan to a chair and sat down, then sat down opposite him.
Li Guang had someone bring over a cup of tea and handed it to Ge Kaishan, who accepted it with both hands and slowly drank it.
After finishing his cup of tea, Ge Kaishan seemed to calm down a bit.
"Thank you, General Ge, for telling me such an important matter. Could you tell me the specific details of the Iron General cannon?"
"The Iron General Cannon is the biggest secret in the barbarian camp. Only a few important generals, such as Kuli Tuo and Jia Feng, know about it. As a general in the barbarian camp, I am fortunate to know this important matter."
Mr. Ge only knew some general information; he was unclear about the specifics.
"Then General Ge, please tell me what you know."
"As far as I know, Jia Feng was originally from the Northern Dynasty, but I don't know why he lived in the foreign country for thirty years. This man is very powerful and unfathomable."
In order to defeat the army of the Great Northern Dynasty and completely control the border, Kuli Tuo invited Jia Feng to come out of seclusion, promising him the position of national advisor of the foreign kingdom.
In the foreign kingdom, the position of the Grand Preceptor is extremely high, basically second only to the emperor. Jia Feng was very satisfied with the position of Grand Preceptor and agreed to take up the post.
For many years, Jia Feng has lived in seclusion in the mountains, specializing in the study of strange and unusual techniques. The powerful Iron General Cannon is one of the subjects of his research.
In the foreign lands, Jia Feng was regarded as a god, and no one doubted his words. Kuli Tuo hoped to use this cannon on the battlefield to deal with the army of the Great Northern Dynasty.
Jia Feng readily agreed and went to the northern frontier, not far from the barbarian camp, to manufacture the Iron General cannons and cannonballs. Once these firearms were completed, they were immediately sent to the military camp.
With artillery, the barbarian troops could attack Hanyu Pass, which would be a huge disaster for the Northern Dynasty's army.
Ge Kaishan's words were true. Li Guang knew that Zhao Xian could make such a small bomb with such great power, let alone an artillery piece, whose power would be even more terrifying.
If Zhao Xian can make bombs, it's not surprising that Jia Feng, this freak, can make cannons.
If Hanyu Pass were to be attacked by artillery, the consequences would be unimaginable. After all, the Empress and the others are still in the city, and I must protect their safety.
"General Nage knows when these cannons will be completed and transported to the barbarian camp."
Ge Kaishan thought for a moment and then said:
"It is estimated that the cannons and shells will be ready in less than ten days. Marshal, you should think of a way as soon as possible, preferably to destroy these cannons. Once these Iron General cannons are transported to the barbarian camp, it will be too late."
"Does General Ge know the exact location where Jia Feng manufactures cannons?"
"I don't know about that. I guess he's not in Saibei City. Jia Feng prefers to live in seclusion in the mountains."
"If the marshal wants to search, he can look at the mountains near the northern border; perhaps he can find the place where Jia Feng manufactures cannons there."
Li Guang nodded and said:
"Thank you, General Ge, for telling me this important matter. I know what to do now."
After Li Guang finished speaking, he bowed deeply to Ge Kaishan and then left.
Back in the council hall, Li Guang immediately summoned everyone to discuss the matter, telling them what had just happened and wanting to know what their solutions were.
Everyone was taken aback. They hadn't expected the barbarian troops to transport the grain in two separate trips. Yue Heng had only burned most of the grain, leaving some unburned. It seemed the barbarian troops could hold out for a few more days.
What shocked everyone even more was that the barbarian soldiers were actually developing the Iron General Cannon to deal with the army of the Great Northern Dynasty.
As soldiers, they knew the power of firearms, especially artillery.
To be honest, even gods can't escape a sudden attack. If the barbarian soldiers use cannons against them, the army of the Great Northern Dynasty will be in grave danger.
What to do? The group looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Marshal, give me a force; I want to flatten the northern frontier and destroy Jia Feng's artillery," someone said.
"Since Jia Feng has chosen to manufacture cannons and shells in the northern frontier, he must have come up with a plan. No matter how many troops we send there, it will be useless."
Moreover, Jia Feng is an extraordinary person. We have already experienced his formations. If we hadn't used a lot of bombs, we wouldn't have been able to break his grand formation at all.
Besides, Jia Feng wouldn't undertake such a crucial secret as manufacturing cannons in the northern city. He would have chosen a very safe location, heavily guarded, making it difficult to destroy his cannons.
"Then what should we do? Marshal, do you have a solution?"
"Go and find some soldiers familiar with the situation in the northern frontier. I want to learn about the situation there and see where Jia Feng is most likely to be manufacturing these cannons," Li Guang said.
The group nodded, accepted the order, and went to find someone familiar with the situation in the northern frontier.
Although there are more than 100,000 people in Hanyu Pass, it is really not easy to find such a person.
It took the soldiers a whole day to find a few dozen soldiers who were relatively familiar with the situation in the northern frontier.
Most of these soldiers had lived in or visited the northern border region, and their understanding of the region was not comprehensive.
After these people were brought to the capital, Li Guang listened to their stories while drawing a map, and finally produced a map of the northern frontier.
This map gives you a basic idea of the situation inside and outside Saibei City. With this map, it's easier to find the place where Jia Feng manufactures cannons.
Once this place is found, we must find a way to destroy these cannons and shells.
Next, Li Guang and his soldiers continued to discuss countermeasures and prepared to send personnel to the northern frontier to carry out the task of destroying cannons and shells.
The soldiers volunteered to go to the northern frontier to carry out their mission.
Going to the northern frontier to carry out this mission is not only risky, but also involves many uncertainties, making it very difficult to complete.
