When everyone heard this, they were all very moved, and even female relatives such as Wan Yanyan burst into tears.

Duan Mingyu slapped the table: "The generals don't need to discuss it anymore. This general has decided to pass on our military order. Luo Hou led 1,000 light cavalry and 500 heavy cavalry to set off today!"

Luo Hou stood up, knelt on one knee, clasped his fists with both hands: "I will take the order!" After saying that, his armored leaves jingled and left the military tent with great strides.

Duan Mingyu continued: "Where is Fang Wenzhi?"

"The last one is here!" Fang Wenzhong responded with an excited look on his face.

"I ordered you to lead 5,000 infantry troops with Luohou to rescue Chenzhou, and there must be no mistakes!"

"The last general will definitely live up to his mission! I wonder if the general is going to Chenzhou in person!" Fang Wenzhong asked carefully.

"That's a must. If I'm not here, you will not meet Luo Hou's butt. Tian is the boss. I'm the second virtue. Before the enemy has seen it, I will hit the sky first!" Duan Mingyu praised Fang Wenzhong and scolded Fang Wenzhong. Fang Wenzhong was stunned by the scolding, but Fang Wenzhong couldn't say a word and could not refute it. His eyes were dull and he couldn't fart for a long time.

"Wang Aiqing, you set out with me and lead my two hundred personal guards. The safety of my life and property will be handed over to you," Duan Mingyu said earnestly.

"Brother Cheng, there are more than 3,000 cavalry and more than 8,000 Yingtian Army infantry, which is enough to resist tens of thousands of invading enemies. I will bother you with all the big and small things in Songzhou!" Duan Mingyu immediately ordered.

"This, Brother Duan. You left all the main force in Songzhou. You brought less than 7,000 troops, and the enemy general Meng Kai had 50,000. There was also a 100,000 army of Huang Chao and then stared at him. If there was any good, how could you call me to wait?" Cheng Zhiyuan looked worried and felt inappropriate for Duan Mingyu's decision.

"Brother Cheng doesn't have to say much. Songzhou is the foundation for us to settle down and we cannot shake it at all. Only in this way can the soldiers fight outside with peace of mind. If the nest is unstable, even if a hundred thousand troops go there, it will be useless! Although this trip is difficult and dangerous, the top scholar has to do it." Duan Mingyu sighed long.

"Brother Duan, please rest assured. Although I am old and cannot fight with you young people on the battlefield, I can also recruit food and grass for the generals. In addition, I can also take charge of the logistics service, so that you can kill the enemy with peace of mind." Zhao Hongxin took the initiative to take on the important task of the logistics minister, and Duan Mingyu had no choice but to welcome him.

"By the way, young master, Fan Fu has built the small steel cannon as you said, and now he has completely replaced the clumsy rockets!" Wang Aiqing suddenly said.

"Really? That's great! How many small cannons are there now!" Duan Mingyu was so excited. Cough cough, the small cannon is so awesome. When the Japanese invaded China, the small cannons were bombarded everywhere with their backs, which caused a lot of trouble to the Chinese team.

The small steel cannon is the so-called mortar. Duan Mingyu drew a drawing and came up with it. Fan Fu, the great inventor, actually made it work. Talent, really talent!

"Young Master, so far, why do we have 120 small steel cannons and more than 2,000 conical shells! It's enough to deal with a war!" Wang Aiqing said proudly.

Very good, very powerful. Although this power is not as powerful as that of modern small steel cannons and its accuracy is far inferior, it is for cold weapons.

In terms of the times, it is already a rare weapon of killing.”

"You go and carry Fan Fu's more than 100 small cannons, and equip them all on my two hundred personal guards. By the way, let Fan Fu teach these mud legs how to use them!" Duan Mingyu ordered word by word.

"Well, you all have to do your own job, do your part, and fight this battle well. So, Wang Aiqing, do you understand?" Duan Mingyu asked.

Wang Aiqing giggled: "I will understand!" Wang Aiqing picked up the wine glass and said: "Young Master, we must toast you. You are kind to me. Every time I am the first to ask me if I understand."

Duan Mingyu knelt: "Actually, I think that if you understand, everyone will understand..."

"Jun Yu, cough cough, if I can come back alive this time, I will be there, I will be there..." Duan Mingyu suddenly started to hesitate while speaking.

"That's what?" Cheng Junyu glanced at Duan Mingyu charmingly, very confused.

"When I come back alive, can I marry you?" Duan Mingyu mustered up the courage.

Cheng Junyu's cheeks suddenly turned red, he turned his head and ran out, ran to the door, suddenly turned around and said with a sincere look: "Young Master, you will definitely come back safely!"

Duan Mingyu finally successfully accepted Cheng Junyu's sister. Wan Yanyan smiled with relief, and Cheng Zhiyuan smiled depressedly.

Duan Mingyu was preparing to accept the small steel cannon before sending troops to Chenzhou, so the next day he brought two hundred troops from the Qinwei camp to the uninhabited suburbs.

Yes, it's just this kind of small steel cannon, very good. Duan Mingyu looked at the densely packed more than 100 mortars, and his face turned red. I don't know if it was happy or excited, and maybe both were there.

Next was the personal guard's drill. Duan Mingyu ordered people to build two mounds from a distance, with a distance of more than 30 meters between the mounds, and then aimed at and fired them from a distance, specifically targeting the mound behind them. The cannon-mounted ammunition of this magical small steel cannon is very simple, and the shells are the kind of scattered shrapnel seen in later generations. Due to the explosives problem, the lethality is much smaller.

But even such a simple procedure, the two hundred guards scratched their ears and heads and tidied for a long time. Duan Mingyu felt itchy in his heart and said loudly: "The first shot of this small steel cannon must be shot well and accurately, and must not be slackened. It must be the first."

Wang Aiqing hurriedly said, "As the commander of the personal guard camp, the first shot will be operated by General Mo himself."

Duan Mingyu nodded and stood behind him to see how he operated.

Wang Aiqing specifically asked Fan Fu how to operate last night, which was also considered a gun sharpening in the last battle. The two guys kept adjusting the height of the muzzle and the distance between the front and back. When they thought that the debugging was not much different, they put the streamlined shell like bullets into the cannon barrel of the small steel cannon. Everyone covered their ears and waited for a loud noise.

Duan Mingyu stood aside, waited for a long time but couldn't hear any movement. He was wondering, no, the first shot was a stinky bullet? This is too fucking bad.
