When Rong Bai sent Eagle Seven out, Hengqing had already gotten the latest news. Because, the person in charge of the escort returned, but only one person returned. This escort route, which was designed by Hengqing and others, was originally very conspicuous equipment, and it was dismantled into pieces and sent to the northwest, which was not eye-catching.

In the fleet, there are also workers who can disassemble and assemble equipment.

Along the way, all possible dangers were ruled out. Everyone, the only thing they didn't expect was that the person in charge of the escort would actually betray.

If you want to say who is in charge of this escort, the people from Linjiang County still know each other, it is the county order of Linjiang County before. Hengqing thought a lot, but he didn't expect this person to betray.

The Ministry of Industry is the official position that can be said to be the least dangerous in the entire capital. When determining the candidate for transporting siege weapons, it was the Ministry of Industry Shangshu who took the initiative to ask for help, and at this time, it can be said that it was very favorable, not to mention, this is obviously a military merit that can be captured by hand.

A civil official, if he can get such a credit, he will simply go all the way in the future.

However, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu did not cherish it, he took the convoy, deviated from the planned route, and then sent it into the hands of the ambushed Qi ** team.

After getting this news, the bigwigs in the capital were furious. However, there is no way to be angry, and the thing that I am most looking forward to now is that those people will not be able to restore the siege equipment.

However, this small expectation has not become a reality. Because, at the end of February, the siege weapons appeared on the battlefield, but unfortunately they appeared in the hands of Qi Guo.

At that time, Wei Xuan was still leading people to surround the edge of Lingzhou. If you want to break through the Lingzhou Prefecture, it is already impossible, and what Wei Xuan can do is to help the people of Lingzhou withdraw from Lingzhou and hold the next Quzhou that faces the army of Qi.

Quzhou is the granary of Dayong, if even Quzhou falls, then Dayong will really be finished. However, Quzhou is different from Lingzhou, Quzhou has no moats, and there is no place that can be defended by terrain, because the granary of the world is an endless plain and a fertile field for producing grain.

In the past, the Qi State did not have such a large siege machine, and it would be ready to attack the city, but now, the Qi State does not need to do this at all. Liu Zihan's siege equipment is too strong, it usually takes tens of thousands of lives to capture the city wall, with the help of siege equipment, but ten days to point to Yancheng, which is known as the granary of the world in Dayong.

This is also the reason why Wei Xuan has no way to retreat.

Yancheng, which stores half of Dayong's grain and grass, is also the root of Dayong's economic foundation. Once captured, Qi ** will be able to get the most supplies, and Dayong will face the predicament of the previous Qi State.

Therefore, Wei Xuan can't retreat anymore.

As a result of not being able to retreat, the flanks were constantly retracted, and soon, Yancheng was protected by the Northwest Army in an encirclement that had been shrinking.

Wei Xuan's predicament was already predicted after the siege equipment appeared on the battlefield. However, in this era, the official response is surprisingly slow, not to mention the manufacturing of cracking equipment for the siege equipment that has just been developed, even the time when the news reaches the capital is enough for Qi to capture several cities.

Therefore, as soon as the equipment for defending the city was made, Rong Bai put on the leather armor that he had not had time to wear.

Rong Bai left, and did not tell Hengqing, but asked for silence. The equipment for defending the city, Rong Bai no longer trusts anyone, except for herself, who is not the most suitable person.

As for Hengqing, he still has one leg that has not undergone surgery.

"You don't tell him?" Wuyin's decision to Rong Bai was very strange: "Didn't you say that in your time, the most important thing between a husband and wife is not to deceive and conceal?

Rong Bai nodded.

This time, Rong Bai not only brought equipment to defend the city, but also thousands of catties of gunpowder. If the newly developed city defense equipment can't be used, Rong Bai will have to use things that he won't use before.

"He's going to have to heal his leg, and if I can come back, I'm going to see him get up. After a pause, Rong Bai continued with some pain: "If I really can't come back, in fact, Princess Qingti is not bad." ”

Thanks to the gift for a long time before, Rong Bai also knew that the princesses who forced him to give up and forced Hengqing to marry were Princess Qingti, who had a good relationship with him. In fact, in the Dayong royal family, there is really only one girl who Rong Bai thinks is good, Princess Qingti. If he can't come back, Heng Qingzhen married the princess according to the ideas of those officials, so that there will be someone to take care of him in the future.

"Qingti's strength is a little small. Wuyin shook his head: "I think, Li Jia still likes you, after all, you are the only one who can move him." ”

At this time, saying such words made Rong Bai couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. However, before going to the battlefield, this last word must be said. I don't know how many warriors have seen strong winds and waves in the last days, and in the end, the boat capsized in the gutter, and finally couldn't even say a last word.

"If, Hengqing asked, you said, I'll go to study the equipment for defending the city. Rong Bai raised his arm.

She is the best master of weapons.

"I don't like to tell lies, so I can only promise that I won't take the initiative to tell him where you're going. Wuyin didn't agree to Rong Bai, but she didn't refuse either.

With such a guarantee, Rong Bai is much more at ease.

"It's a pity that I can't watch Hengqing undergo a second operation. Rong Bai raised his head and looked upstairs in the workshop.

During the time when Wei Xuan's accident occurred, Hengqing seemed to know Rong Bai's decision, so he always stuck to Rong Bai. The only chance Rong Bai got was the second chance to have surgery.

After he entered the operating room and was completely anesthetized, Rong Bai could change into a military uniform.

"Wolf Guard, I've got you covered. Wen Wan appeared in the workshop rarely, and there were two strangely shaped sigils in her hands: "The two instructors will summon all the wolf guards under their command back, the time may be a bit long, I hope that before you arrive in Yancheng, they can catch up with you." ”

Rong Bai took the sigil and stuffed it into the money bag he had been wearing.

"Awan, don't worry, I'm white. ”

"Then you must come back. Wen Wan admonished again.

"Will be back. Rong Bai shook his hand. With everyone's expectations, lead the team out of the capital.

Along the way, Rong Bai didn't look back once, she knew that she couldn't turn back, because, once she turned back, perhaps, she would never have the courage to take another step forward.

No wonder, no matter which world it is, they are reluctant to let people with families go to war, after all, these people already have a reason not to fight hard.

Rong Bai's team soon left the capital. At the same time, there was another carriage that left the capital. Rushed out of the palace.
