"This…this iron lump, it released a red light and dug through a mountain? This is too…too…"
Sun Chuanting was so shocked that he stuttered, unable to express his shock.
The rest of the Ming soldiers also exclaimed in surprise. They looked at the huge round hole as if they had seen a ghost.
"General Sun, you see, I didn't lie to you, right? I said we won't take a detour, so we won't.”
Luo Feng lit a cigarette and blew out smoke rings. He pointed at the straight tunnel and laughed.
"The King of Pinglian actually has such a divine weapon. He is truly a god. No wonder the Emperor was able to destroy Slave Jian and pacify Liaodong.”
"Alright, the tunnel has been opened. Let's continue to build the railway.”
The railway continued to move southward, opening roads on every mountain and building bridges on every river. In less than ten days, it was straight to the edge of the Yellow River.
Standing by the Yellow River and looking south, the towering Kaifeng Prefecture was on the other side.
At this moment, Li Zicheng had just conquered Kaifeng City and was enjoying the gold and silver treasures he had looted from the Ming Dynasty treasury.
"Reporting to Roaming King, the Ming army has appeared on the other side, and there are many strange iron lumps.”
A burglar rushed into the hall and reported in panic to Li Zicheng, who was drinking.
Li Zicheng's expression changed slightly. He stood up and went straight to the north gate.
He climbed up the city gate and looked into the distance. Sure enough, he saw many Ming soldiers gathered on the opposite bank, as well as those iron lumps that looked like " giant beasts."
"What are those iron lumps?”
Li Zicheng frowned, his face revealing surprise.
"Roaming King, according to our investigation, Chongzhen seems to be building some kind of railway. Those iron lumps are the machines for building the railway.”
His military advisor, Niu Jinxing, pointed across and said logically.
Li Zicheng was also a country bumpkin. This was the first time he heard this new and clear phrase. He was even more shocked and confused than Chongzhen.
"Roaming King, I heard that Chongzhen made a businessman named Luo Feng the King of Pinglian. This man sold Chongzhen many powerful new firearms. Chongzhen relied on these firearms to destroy Slave Jian in just a few months.”
Li Zicheng's expression changed slightly, and his eyes revealed some fear.
"Bullsh * t! No matter how powerful a firearm is, it won't be able to kill Slave Jian in just a few months. I'm sure Chongzhen must have spread the rumors to disrupt our morale.”
The number one general, Liu Zongmin, humphed, showing great disdain.
"Zong Min's words are reasonable. It's not like we don't have the Ming dog's handgun, how powerful can it be? This king will not believe Chongzhen's rumors.”
Li Zicheng's brows relaxed, showing his disapproval.
At this moment, the scout reported that the Ming army on the other side seemed to be preparing to cross the river.
"Sun Chuanting, that defeated general, wants to return to Kaifeng after just a few days of being defeated by us. He's really courting death. Roaming King, let this general lead the army to defend the river bank. If Sun Chuanting dares to cross the river, this general will definitely kill him!”
"Alright, this king will order you to lead 50,000 troops to defend the riverbank and stop the Ming dogs from crossing the river!”
Li Zicheng waved his hand and ordered.
Liu Zongmin accepted the order and left.
Li Zicheng snorted disdainfully, turned around, and left the city to continue drinking.
"Your Highness, Kaifeng City is on the other side. Li Zicheng has at least 300,000 troops there. I'm afraid your railway can only be built up to this point.”
Sun Chuanting pointed to the opposite shore and said. His tone was obviously filled with fear of Li Zicheng and Chuang Junqi.
After all, he had just lost to Li Zicheng and lost Henan.
"Since we've already built it here, we definitely have to build a bridge to the other side of the river. When the time comes, the reinforcements will take the train and get off at Kaifeng Station.”
Luo Feng didn't take Li Zicheng seriously and spoke casually.
"However, if we want to cross the river, we have to occupy the south bank first. There are at least 50,000 enemy troops on the opposite bank.”
"Besides, there is still the Yellow River blocking our way. Our boat will be blown up by the bandits 'red cannons halfway through.”
Sun Chuanting raised a strong doubt. Obviously, he had no confidence in beating the Yellow River.
"General Sun, I have a new weapon here that can help you cross the Yellow River without many people. Do you want it?”
Luo Feng looked at Sun Chuanting with a smile.
"New weapon? I have indeed heard that Fifth Lord has many powerful weapons, but I wonder if this weapon of yours can help us cross the river and repel the invading army on the other side?”
Sun Chuanting had never seen Luo Feng's power, so he naturally did not believe it.
