In the morning, Li Zhao slowly sat up from the bed and saw that there were scattered clothes everywhere on the ground. Last night was too crazy, maybe it was too long since I was active, and the movements were a little rough.

Before Zhang Chuxuan woke up, Li Zhao kissed her lightly on the forehead.

After breakfast, we left the Marshal's Mansion and headed to the Weapons Division.

After the Hanzhong War, the Weapons Division moved from Heihuling to Nanzheng City. In addition to the original workshops in the castle, the number of craftsmen was expanded.

At present, the director of the Ordnance Department is called Liu Guangyuan, who was originally Zhao Xincai's deputy. After Zhao Xincai was locked up by Li Zhao, he temporarily took over the post of director for a period of time. Before the battle of Tianze Mountain, this person stayed with the craftsmen day and night, urging the craftsmen to build ordnance as soon as possible. indirectly contributed to the victory of the Zhaowu Army, and the position was regularized after the war.

Even when there was no war, the Weapons Division was still as busy as ever, building all kinds of ordnance every day.

Although the craftsmen were tired, no one complained in the slightest. The reason is very simple, Li Zhao gave too much.

In terms of treatment, the money and food they receive every month are several times more than when Wang Jing was there. In addition, Li Zhao also promised that within a month, land would be allocated to them outside the city of Nanzheng.

While enjoying all kinds of benefits, craftsmen must make results that satisfy Li Zhao.

He has very strict requirements for the production of all kinds of ordnance, and does not allow the slightest cut corners.

As early as the time of Heihuling, Li Zhao proposed that the weapons of the Zhaowu army must be better than those of Qi and Wei, with sharper swords and stronger armor defense. At that time, the cottage was subject to various conditions, and it was not easy to do this. During the Battle of Tianze Mountain, the weapons used by the soldiers of the Zhaowu Army did not have much advantage over the Qi and Wei armies.

Now it has entered Nanzheng, and there are various resources in the city. What was once impossible to do, we must now strive to do.

Liu Guangyuan is very conscientious, he is good to the craftsmen on weekdays, he has never beaten and scolded, and he is trusted by everyone in the Ordnance Division. Over time, he gradually became professional. What kind of sword is sharp, what kind of bed crossbow is more powerful, you can see it almost at a glance.

In order to better motivate the craftsmen, he proposed to Li Zhao that 50 outstanding craftsmen be selected every month to be praised and rewarded in public. Li Zhao's first reaction after hearing this, could it be that you also crossed over.

In addition to making all kinds of cold weapons, there are some things, Li Zhao is not dead. Because once it succeeds, it is equivalent to opening a plug-in.

One day, he asked the craftsman, "Do you know what a musket or a musket is

?" Seeing that the craftsman looked dazed, he asked again: "Have you heard of the red-coated cannon?" The craftsman

shook his head, indicating that he did not understand.

Li Zhao had no choice but to give up temporarily.

...............................................

Song Jun and Liu Haoyan were ordered to attack various cottages in Hanzhong.

Whenever the two went to a cottage, they informed them that they would allocate land to the people inside, and persuaded them to put down their weapons and leave the cottage. The Zhaowu army promised not to kill innocents indiscriminately, and at the same time gave them some money and food.

If the other person is obedient, things will be much easier. If the other party refuses, the attack is decisively ordered.

The Zhaowu Army is not only well-armed, but also has a higher level of combat effectiveness after the baptism of the Hanzhong War, which is not at all something that these cottages can deal with.

The two won many battles and broke through more than a dozen large and small cottages. Drive the people inside to the bottom of the mountain, hand them over to Yang Mingsheng and Deng Xin, and then register them one by one, and distribute land to them in the future.

I thought it would be easy to complete the task, but I didn't want to run into hard bones. And this hard bone turned out to be Qin Niuling, once Yang Xin's cottage.

At the beginning, taking advantage of Yang Xin's attack on Nanzheng, the Zhaowu army occupied Qinniuling, and there were more than 3,000 Zhaowu troops in it at most. In order to deal with the battle of Tianze Mountain with all his might, Li Zhao evacuated all the soldiers inside. After the victory, he did not continue to garrison in it.

Song Jun and Liu Haoyan rushed to the foot of Qinniu Ridge, and before they could shout, dense arrows attacked from the mountain. Ordered his subordinates to dodge, and a few Zhaowu sergeants fell to the ground with arrows.

The two immediately ordered a counterattack, and hundreds of archers of the Zhaowu Army faced Qin Niuling, and waves of fierce arrows rained down, successfully suppressing the opposite side. After the arrow array stopped, the infantry of the Zhaowu army began to attack Qinniuling.

The sergeant of Qinniuling was condescending, relying on the dangerous terrain to desperately block the Zhaowu army. After an hour, the Zhaowu army never managed to break through the cottage. Song Jun was extremely angry and kept urging his subordinates to continue attacking.

Liu Haoyan had been watching the battle from the sidelines, and said to Song Jun: "The enemy army has already been prepared, so it is better to withdraw the army temporarily." "

Liu Haoyan's qualifications in the army are not as good as Song Jun's, so Song Jun is the main one who leads the troops in this battle.

"I don't believe that just mountain bandits can stop my Zhaowu army. Song Jun's face was full of anger.

Liu Haoyan smiled slightly, "General Song, don't worry, our army is less than two thousand troops, and there are at least four or five thousand on the opposite side, but we don't dare to go down the mountain to fight our army." Qinniuling is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and our army can temporarily surround the cottage and wait for a large number of ordnance to arrive. I estimate that in three or four days at most, we will be able to attack Qinniuling.

Song Jun thought about it and agreed to Liu Haoyan's suggestion, and Zhaowujun slowly retreated.

What no one could have imagined was that the person who occupied Qinniuling and blocked the Zhaowu Army was Lu Boliang.

Lu Boliang was extremely depressed at this time, he never thought that the Qi army would be defeated and Liu Sihong would be captured.

And this defeat made his years of hard work go to waste.

After the Battle of Tianze Mountain, Lu Boliang took the opportunity to persuade multiple village owners to unite and fight against the Zhaowu Army.

Li Zhao took the lead, Song Jun and Liu Haoyan were like bamboos all the way, and in less than a month, they broke through many cottages.

Some village owners were scared and took the initiative to go down the mountain and surrender. Some village owners were unwilling, and under the persuasion of Lu Boliang, they retreated to Qinniuling together. It is planned to use Qinniuling as a stronghold, gradually expand the troops and horses, and cooperate with the Qi army to recover Hanzhong in the future.

Unexpectedly, Li Zhao didn't give him a chance to breathe at all, and only a few days after coming to Qinniuling, Song Jun led his troops to kill here.

Lu Bailiang knew very well in his heart that Qin Niuling had been targeted, and it was difficult to defend it for a long time, and he didn't want to die here. The problem is that the Zhaowu army is not far away, and the exit of the cottage is closely monitored, so it is not easy to escape.

A large number of ordnance was soon transported from Nanzheng, and countless boulders, oil cans, and arrows were poured on the Qinniuling Mountains day and night.

There were heavy casualties in the cottage, and Song Jun saw that the time was almost up, and ordered the whole army to attack. After two hours of onslaught, they finally entered the cottage.

Lu Boliang saw that he really couldn't escape, and with great unwillingness, he set himself on fire and died.

The last military force in Hanzhong was wiped out, and Li Zhao was overjoyed.

On the contrary, Emperor Jiang Ningxian of Qi was in the palace and was furious.
