After all, people who hate things are disgusted. Zhao Zhen, who was born under the red flag and grew up in the spring breeze, would never believe in the things that were usurped by religious beliefs.

Looking at most religions in the world, they often use places like heaven, paradise, Pure Land, etc., and this place can only be reached after people die, and no one has seen it before!

Because they can't give you everything you want now, they can only make you believe in religion and promise you to get benefits after death. This is the biggest short check. Who knows what the world will look like after death? No one knows!

The world between various religions does not recognize each other's world, so have so many gods never met? Is there no war? There is really war, but it is just started by humans. The so-called "god" is just watching from heaven.

Religion can indeed play a role in stabilizing society, but the law can do it even better.

But the harm it brings is extremely great, and it can even destroy a country. Zhao Zhen naturally would not choose to use religion to maintain the stability of the Song Dynasty, which is also the key to his implementation of the law.

Zhao Zhen didn't even want to know the old monk's name, but it was quite good to have a comfortable sleep and rest for a while, so he and those wine and meat monks entered the Great Ghost Rail.

Zhao Zhen stood up and left with a loose waist. The war had begun. It was not something that a monk could change with a few words. If religion was really so awesome, there would not be so many wars and fights in the world.

When Zhao Zhen came out of the main hall of Zetian Temple, there were already people standing outside, and soldiers were standing by the side carrying big drums and bronze outposts, and some people stood in a crossing with horizontal swords. Zhao Zhen was shocked. What's going on?!

Wang He stepped forward and smiled awkwardly: "Can the official family sleep well?"

Zhao Zhen pointed to the group of inexplicable soldiers next to him and asked strangely: "What is this? Could it be that something like a great god appeared in my army?!"

Li Jiu quickly stepped forward and pointed at Wang He and said, "It was all Wang Xingjun's idea, saying that the official family would be transferred to the court by the old monk!"

Zhao Zhen smiled and looked at Wang He: "Oh? Are you so worried about me? But he was just doing a good job. He gave up this matter and quickly mobilized his troops to advance towards Gaochang!"

Wang He glared at Li Jiu, but the other person stepped forward and said, "Official family, my God Guards are ready to go. Li Jiu is here to ask for an order! I hope the official family will give me the God Guards a chance to show their strength!"

Zhao Zhen looked at Li Jiu's excited and begging eyes, and could not refuse his request for battle. He nodded slightly and said, "Well, this time the Divine Guard Army is going to fight, and see if you can go down in one go!"

Li Jiu was so excited that he was like a monkey who had eaten a elixir. He rushed onto a horse and galloped away. In fact, the Divine Guards included the Firearms Battalion. This was when he was able to show his Firearms Battalion's power. After a long period of testing and training, the spearmen could already cooperate effectively with the musketeers.

Zhao Yun made a lot of contributions, but this time he did something unexpected to everyone... himself infiltrated the army and participated in the war.

The royal heirs were surrounded by personal guards. Zhao Zhen did not deliberately explain to protect the safety of a certain royal heir, but he believed that the personal guards would fulfill their responsibilities, regardless of whether they were told or not.

But he didn't expect that Zhao Yun's rebellious mentality was the same as he did at the time. He didn't care about the rules and regulations in the palace at all. For him, he left the Shendu City and the civil officials who had been restraining him with etiquette and law all day long, and this battlefield was his world.

Zhao Yun abides by military rules, but does not follow the etiquette and laws of the Song Dynasty, especially after improving the firearms, this time he avoided the eyes of his personal guards and mingled into the army. When the personal guards reported to Zhao Zhen, the war drums had already sounded...

Amid the rumbling drums, the Divine Guard Army came out of the camp and advanced forward. Cao Kang, Wang Gui and Wang He were on the side staring at Zhao Zhen carefully. There was still a chance to stop the army from departing, but this would definitely hit the morale of the army and embarrass the Tian family.

Zhao Zhen stood there without saying a word for a long time, and finally took a deep breath and sighed: "This kid's adolescence is coming, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to control! Let him go!"

This means that the government will not recall the army, but it also makes everyone feel uneasy. If a prince of a country goes to fight with the army, the consequences will be unimaginable. Even if the Divine Guard Army is well-equipped and able to fight, it is not afraid of ten thousand in everything, but it is afraid of something!

The army of the Song Dynasty officially began the battle to destroy Gaochang. The ultimate goal of this war was to destroy Gaochang, not just defeat him.

Gaochang is a country and a city. This is a common phenomenon in the Western Regions. Once the army captures Gaochang City, Gaochang will naturally be conquered. However, before, the first obstacles encountered by the army were Baozhuang City and Six Cities.

These two cities are surrounded by gatekeepers in Gaochang City, and are shaped like fortresses and are quite sturdy.

Of course, the balance here is for other cities in the Western Regions, but it is only relatively solid. In fact, even the ordinary county towns in the Song Dynasty cannot be compared. Due to the desertification of the Western Regions, it is difficult for the cities here to be very solid.

When the Divine Guards stopped outside Baozhuang City, the 50,000 troops were already a giant compared to the small city. The spears were like forests in all directions of the military formation, followed by countless muskets.

This is a defensive formation to resist the counterattacks of the defenders in the city to ensure the safety of the situation.

But the defenders in Baozhuang City obviously did not understand the ability of the Song army to siege the city. They did not launch a charge before the Song army formation completely stopped, but made up their minds to defend the city.

Facing the defending Baozhuang City, Li Jiu was quite depressed. He planned to try the ability of the Firearms Battalion and the Divine Guards to cooperate. Only after experiencing blood can one summarize the shortcomings and lessons from it and avoid the next bleeding.

After a simple excavation and defense, the soldiers in the army began to build a stone throwing machine. The stone throwing machine was made by the Ordnance Department and the method of use was very simple. Just fix the iron rods of sections by latches and then add heavy objects.

The shooting distance of this iron stone poker is about 800 steps. Although it is not as good as a cannon, it is much lighter than a cannon. It only takes one carriage to carry all the accessories of three stone pokers. As for heavy objects everywhere, isn’t it?

However, what the Song Dynasty stone thrower threw out was not a stone, but a heavy explosive pack with iron shells!

The explosives of the Song Dynasty had changed from black gunpowder to strong explosives. The craftsmen of the firearm battalion accidentally discovered the strong explosives of trinitrotoluene tnt and used gunpowder as its detonator.

The accidental explosion made the Liao people's secret spies a little bit better, but unfortunately, this thing is almost impossible to imitate without accurate preparation and formula. He needed the same basic thing, chemistry.
