The end of the military era

Even the weakest low-level warriors are much stronger than ordinary people. They can easily lift six to seven hundred catties with both hands.

However, due to the emergence of different time and space nodes more than 200 years ago, for unknown reasons, the cultivation of warriors began to become very difficult.

The higher the level of a warrior, the harder it is to advance to a higher level.

Although warriors can absorb an unknown ingredient in the meat of ferocious beasts to promote their own cultivation by eating the meat of ferocious beasts, but now among warriors, those who can finally be promoted to masters are like a drop in the ocean, and the great masters have not appeared for many years .

As for the Legendary Grandmaster, it has been hundreds of years before the emergence of different time and space nodes, and no one has reached this level.

Newspapers in many human countries even use the term "the last age of martial arts" to describe the difficulty of cultivating martial artists today.

After Ma Tiezhu turned and went out, he quickly brought in two soldiers from the guard battalion, escorting Jia An, who was tied up and gagged with a towel.

Seeing Zhou Xiaozheng lying on the bed, Jia An immediately became excited and whined.

Zhou Xiaozheng said in a deep voice, "Take out the towel."

Ma Tiezhu immediately pulled out the towel from Jia An's mouth.

"General! You are wronged! Brother! I am wronged! I"

Jia An, who was screaming for injustice, was kicked by Zhou Xiaorong and fell to the ground, "You are a wolf-hearted thing, the general can't forgive you at all, you actually joined the Cui family after the general was seriously injured!

Don't you know how many grievances there are between our Zhou family and the Cui family? "

I can't blame Zhou Xiaorong for being excited. When Zhou Xiaorong was young, the serious injury that caused the root cause of his illness was actually the black hands of the Cui family.

You must know that Zhou Xiaorong was only one step away from the realm of a master under Zhou Xiaozheng's guidance and training at that time.

Unfortunately, after being seriously injured, Zhou Xiaorong was also like Zhou Xiaozheng, his muscles and veins were severely injured, and his martial arts and cultivation were all crippled. The only thing stronger than Zhou Xiaozheng was that Zhou Xiaorong could still live like an ordinary person, and Zhou Xiaozheng was injured due to his spinal cord injury. Injured, he can only be paralyzed in bed for the rest of his life.

"Brother Xiaorong, I don't have one"

"Do you think your sophistry is still useful? If there is no conclusive evidence, you will be arrested to the general?"

At this time Zhou Xiaozheng sighed again, "Xiao An, the person you sent to deliver the letter to the Cui family has already confessed."

When Jia An heard this, he immediately knelt on the ground and said bitterly, "Wuuu, brother, I'm sorry for you! I'm sorry for the Zhou family! I'm sorry for the brothers! I fell into the trap of the Cui family."

Following Jia An's crying, Zhou Xiaozheng and the others also knew why Jia An took refuge in Cui's family.

Jia An is a gambler, and he owed more than 20 silver coins in gambling debts in just a few months in Yongfu Casino.

Jia An, who was unable to repay his gambling debts at all, later accepted the solicitation of the Cui family under the help of He Xi, the owner of Yongfu Casino.

From then on, Jia An began to send information about the Zhou family and the garrison brigade to the Cui family.

After listening to Jia An's narration, Zhou Xiaorong couldn't help kicking Jia An again, "You are a pig! Who in Ganyang City doesn't know that the owner of Yongfu Casino is the Cui family!"

What Zhou Xiaorong said made Zhou Rui touch his nose in embarrassment. He used to go to Yongfu Casino often. If he hadn't lived his life again, after two months, he would still owe Yongfu Casino a gambling debt of 10 silver coins.

"Xiao An, how long have you been sending information to the Cui family?" Zhou Xiaozheng asked.

"Almost half a year."

Hearing that Jia An had sent the Cui family information for nearly half a year, the expressions of Zhou Xiaozheng, Zhou Xiaorong and Zhou Rui all became more gloomy.

"So, when you attacked Jingyang City, you also revealed the marching route of our garrison brigade to the Cui family?" Zhou Xiaorong asked angrily.

"Give it."

At this time, even Zhou Rui couldn't bear it, and kicked Jia An hard.

Zhou Xiaorong immediately gritted his teeth and said: "General, the Cui family must have revealed the marching route of the [-]st Infantry Regiment and the Heavy Cavalry Battalion to the Zhenwei Army. This time we can't bear it any longer!"

Zhou Rui said with a grim face: "Father! Don't worry! I will definitely ask the Cui family to pay back the enmity between you and elder brother a thousand times!"

Zhou Xiaozheng's expression now calmed down, "Xiaorui, Xiaorong, the power of the Cui family is deeply rooted in Ganyang City.

Moreover, Cui Hong's younger sister is also the second wife of our Fengwu Jiedu envoy, if our Zhou family and Cui family fight now, Fengwu Jiedu's mansion will never stand by our Zhou family's side.

The most important thing for our Zhou family now is to take back the three warships, let these three warships form combat power as soon as possible, and at the same time successfully complete the plan to expand the four infantry regiments!

Only when our Zhou family becomes stronger can we have a chance to take revenge. Before that, our Zhou family must continue to endure! "

Zhou Xiaorong said unwillingly: "General, but your injury, and the hatred of the young master"

Zhou Xiaozheng waved his hand, "Xiaorong, after you were injured back then, I was going to take my brothers to fight against the Cui family, but you advised me to learn to endure."

Then Zhou Xiaozheng said to Jia An in an unhurried tone: "Xiao An, you have been with me for more than 20 years. It stands to reason that you have worked hard without credit, but I have to treat Zhou Kang and the 680 four brothers who died. There is an explanation."

Jia An heard the meaning of Zhou Xiaozheng's words, and kept begging for mercy: "Big brother! Big brother! Don't kill me! I don't want to die! I don't want to die!"

Zhou Xiaozheng said sadly: "Xiao An, people have to die no matter what, since they did something wrong, they have to bear the consequences!

Tie Zhu, give Xiaoan a treat! "

As soon as Zhou Xiaozheng finished speaking, Ma Tiezhu, who was standing behind Jia An, quickly stretched out his two hands and twisted Jia An's neck severely.

Just hearing a "click", Jia An's neck was twisted 180 degrees by Ma Tiezhu.

Jia An, who stared at his eyes, immediately fell to the ground, lifeless.

Seeing Ma Tiezhu deal with Jia An neatly, Zhou Rui felt a cool breeze blowing from the back of his neck.

But Zhou Rui applauded Jia An's death.

In the previous life, it was precisely because Jia An took the entire heavy artillery regiment of the fortress to join the Cui family at a critical moment, that caused other troops loyal to the Zhou family to lose the support of large-caliber artillery fire, and finally wiped out the entire army in Ganyang City.

There are a total of five forts in Ganyang City, three of which are on the side of the military port, and the other two are built on the side of the civilian port. These five forts are currently under the control of the Zhou family.

五座炮台一共装备了16门35倍口径200毫米岸防炮和28门35倍口径150毫米岸防炮。

Among them, 16 200mm coastal defense guns have fixed mounts and can only shoot at sea, while 28 150mm coastal defense guns can turn their muzzles to shell targets in Ganyang City.

Zhou Xiaozheng was able to occupy a place in Ganyang City, the largest port city in the western region of the Han and Tang Empires, mainly because of two trump cards.

One is the Coastal Defense Fleet, and the other is the five forts controlled by the Fortress Heavy Artillery Regiment.

Chapter 11 Receiving Warships

At 6 o'clock in the morning on June 4, a fleet consisting of [-] warships and two transport ships arrived outside the military port of Ganyang City.

The seven warships of the Coastal Defense Fleet also left the port at this time, blocking the front of the Red Tiger Empire Navy Fleet.

"Master Zhou, a Blizzard-class all-steel battleship and two Iceknife-class armored cruisers have been sent over.

Another 200 million silver coins of ammunition were also installed on two transport ships. Now please allow three warships and two transport ships to enter the port. "
