“Artillery?”
Luo Hong’s heart skipped a beat.
Zhan Xingchang nodded. “From the intel we received, the barbarians brought at least 200 cannons this time. Right now, we should destroy them with our own artillery. According to His Highness, the cannons sold to Chang’an have the longest range. They might be able to suppress the barbarians’ cannons. How many cannons did you bring?”
“Not a single one,” Luo Hong said through gritted teeth, his face suddenly darkening.
“Why is that? His Highness sent 300 cannons to Chang’an…” Zhan glanced around—and sure enough, there was no sign of any cannons in the camp.
Luo Hong spat on the ground. “It’s those cowardly peace-faction officials! They said the cannons should only be used to protect the capital. They claimed the Qingzhou army already had enough artillery to defend Jizhou. Hah! In truth, they just want us to die here.”
Hearing this, Zhan Xingchang let out a quiet sigh. He felt even more grateful for his decision to stay in Qingzhou.
“I see. You two generals have suffered much,” he said.
“We’ll endure it,” Luo Hong replied. “The Luo family has served the military for generations. We’ve always been loyal to the empire, and now the entire court doubts us… But forget it. No use complaining.”
