Shenyue Haoqing just said to Li Anyue, "It's okay, you eat first." ”

Li Anyue immediately put down the bowl, wiped her mouth, and said vaguely, "It's okay, I'm full." ”

Shenyue Haoqing glanced at the remaining half of the steamed buns, "It's only after eating." ”

Li Anyue had no choice but to stuff the remaining half of the steamed bun into her mouth, and said puffingly, "Hmm! ”

Shenyue Haoqing was still sitting still and looking at her, Li Anyue understood, and quickly swallowed the contents of his mouth quickly, before he said with some difficulty, "Let's go!" ”

"Drink water." Shenyue Haoqing handed her a glass of water, and after everything was as he wished, he pulled Li Anyue to stand up.

"Huh? Am I going too, Lord? ”

"Didn't you say you knew that weapon last night, just go and have a look." Shenyue Haoqing held her hand and did not let go.

Li Anyue blushed when she remembered last night, "Ah, it turns out that you listened to it, prince." ”

Seeing her like this, Shenyue Haoqing couldn't help but leave a deep kiss on her lips before saying, "Let's go." ”

The soldiers outside the door were already waiting anxiously, but they didn't dare to urge more, last night Shenyue Haoqing's behavior had been spread all over Manhuaxi City, and no one was afraid of this legendary King Qingning who killed people without blinking. When he saw Shenyue Haoqing holding Li Anyue's hand and appearing together, he was stunned for a while and didn't react until that cold voice sounded.

The seized weapons had now been placed in the open space in front of the main hall, and there was already a circle of people who wanted to find out, including the king and ministers of Vassi. When Shenyue Haoqing and them came, they automatically got out of the way, and their eyes naturally fell on Li Anyue, who was dressed in a white dress as clear as a hibiscus out of the water.

"Lone also heard about Princess Qingning's invasion of the palace at night last night, could it be that this is Princess Qingning?"

Li Anyue made a curtsy salute to him, "Li Anyue has seen the king." Please also ask the king to be strange, it was really a last resort to break into the palace last night, and I hope the king will forgive me. ”

Originally, they did have some mustard in their hearts, although the Vasi Kingdom was a subject country of the Tianyang Dynasty, but after all, this was in the Vasi Kingdom, and it should have been a capital crime to break into the palace at night. But seeing that Li Anyue is so knowledgeable, and besides, Li Anyue was originally the county lord of the Tianyang Dynasty and the princess of King Qingning, and being able to bow to them was already giving face, so naturally he would no longer pursue it.

Li Anyue's eyes couldn't help but light up when he saw the two things in front of him, so he immediately jumped to their side and observed them carefully. The first thought in my mind at that time was that I would finally see something more modern!

This weapon should be called a cannon by its modern name, but the workmanship is a little rougher, and a barrel made of fine iron is attached to a small wooden cart, and the string next to it is supposed to trigger the gunpowder device.

"Princess, this thing is very dangerous, it's better not to touch it." Du Zhilin couldn't help but remind.

"Are there any shells in there?"

"Cannon...... Cannonball? ”

"Well, a cannonball is to an artillery what an arrow is to a bow, and if it weren't, it wouldn't be dangerous."

Everyone was surprised when they heard this, but they were also half-convinced, and Shenyue Haoqing was also a little surprised, "Yue'er, how did you know about these things?" ”

Li Anyue smiled awkwardly, "I've seen it in a book by chance before, and it may have been dropped by a passing merchant." ”

"This weapon was indeed brought back from a foreign land by the Qi State, and it can be seen from yesterday's battle that the lethality of this thing is indeed very great, so the Qi State is so eager to attack the Tianyang Kingdom."

"Isn't there any gunpowder in the Tianyang Kingdom?" Li Anyue asked with some disbelieving.

"In the past few years, the Tianyang Kingdom has also tried to find new weapons, but it may be in the wrong direction, and it has not been found so far, and I didn't expect that it was the first to be found by the Qi Kingdom."

Li Anyue also had a headache, although he had seen a V-shaped group photo next to him, but he didn't know what its operation principle was, so he thought about it and turned around and asked Vasilota who led the battle yesterday, "How powerful is this artillery?" How far is the range? How often are they launched? ”

Vassirota remembered yesterday's scene and said, "A cannonball can smash the city wall, the range is about twenty zhang away, the bow and arrow can't shoot so far, there is still a time between the front and back, but it is a little difficult to deal with the two cannons fired one after another." ”

"According to the return of the scouts, there are definitely more than these two artillery pieces in the Qi Kingdom." Shenyue Haoqing pondered for a while, "Yue'er, do you know what weaknesses this artillery has?" ”

"Except that the replacement frequency of shells is slower...... Li Anyue lowered his head and thought carefully, "Or you can think about the shells, after all, if there are no shells, it is useless to ask for this thing." ”

Li Anyue shrugged her shoulders after speaking, she knew so much, she knew that she would have watched a little more military channel stuff before. Shenyue Haoqing seemed to know that she was blaming herself, so she shook her hand.

"That's enough, I'll just think about the rest." Then he said to the others, "Please also come into the temple to discuss countermeasures." Yue'er, you go to the girl first, but don't go out of the palace, okay? ”

"Well, don't worry." Li Anyue nodded obediently.

Everyone returned to the main hall and began to analyze the future situation, "There is news from the front, the army of Qi is already eight hundred miles away, it is estimated that it will arrive tomorrow at the earliest, and our army will not arrive until night at the earliest, if the Qi country comes and launches an attack, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

"Otherwise, we can only send someone to drag down the army of Qi first."

"No, this is just a temporary measure, and it won't last long."

"Since you can't win by force, you can only win by outwitting."

……

Shenyue Haoqing is busy for a day, and Li Anyue is not good at disturbing him. was busy all day, and when he finally returned to the house, Li Anyue had fallen asleep on the table again.

As expected, the Qi State had already set up camp a hundred miles outside Huaxi City the next day, a safe distance of nearly a hundred miles from the Tianyang State army camp. But their arrival was delayed by two or three hours.

After there was no news from the vanguard for a long time, Huo Dong vaguely felt that something was wrong, and sent scouts out again, bringing back the news that the vanguard troops were all wiped out, but in order not to affect morale, he suppressed the news.

On the way to the country of Vassi, there were no obstacles along the way, not even traps, but this made the soldiers even more uneasy, that is, the enemy is too strong to rely on these small tricks to win, the closer they get to the country of Vasi, the more cautious they are, often send a dozen soldiers to reconnoiter to ensure safety before the army passes, and it takes a lot of time to come and go.

Huo Dong was riding on a horse, and he would wonder if he was too worried, but the 30,000 vanguard troops were all wiped out, and there was not even a report of the news, did it mean that the army of Qi had arrived?

"Report!" Scout returns.

Huo Dong frowned, "What's wrong?" ”

"More than 100 corpses of our soldiers were found three miles ahead!"

As soon as the scout finished speaking, Huo Dong rode his horse forward, and the army hurriedly followed. Huo Dong saw from a distance that there were a large number of soldiers wearing Qi uniforms hanging on the black pressure of the uncle in front of him, all of them were tied up with ropes, and dozens of corpses were placed horizontally under the trees, and the corpses had already emitted some peculiar smells after being exposed to the sun during the day.

Everyone's faces changed when they saw this scene, and some of them knew that there was indeed a vanguard force sent out, and now they also guessed when they saw this scene. One of the generals rode to Huo Dong's side, "Prince, what should I do now?" ”

Huo Dong was silent for a while, "Take down the corpse and bury it alive." ”

"But the prince...... Three hundred miles further on is the country of Vassi, and a delay here may be detrimental to us. ”

Huo Dong glanced at him, "Did you let all the soldiers look at the corpses of these soldiers and walk over indifferently!" What do you make the soldiers think! ”

The man was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head in shame, and Huo Dong ordered in a loud voice, "Hurry up and send someone to take them all down, and then send a team of people to dig a pit next to them!" ”

It took more than an hour to dig a huge pit, and after digging the pit, more than a hundred corpses were put into it together, and the black pressure made people's hearts cold. They were hastily buried, and the army was reopened.

When they arrived at a hundred miles from the Vasi Kingdom, the scouts came back to report that the army of the Tianyang Kingdom had been stationed outside the city, and a wall of two feet high had been erected in the middle to separate them.

"Didn't you say that the army of the Tianyang Kingdom was even later than us?"

"The previous report was indeed like this, but when I went to investigate just now, I found that there were already many soldiers in the Tianyang Country Battalion training, and the scouts sent before were all inexplicably missing, and there was no news!"

Huo Dong clenched his fists, and this and again miscalculations made him feel extremely annoyed in his heart, "King Qingning......"

Vasi City is in full swing, Tianyang City is not easy, and the war with Qi will be transmitted back to the capital from Vasi every day, but compared to the current situation, the news will definitely lag behind. After coming and going, when the news of the siege of Vaxi City came back to the capital, Shenyue Cangting had already fallen ill in bed, even if the news of Vaxi Kingdom was safe and sound came back later, he was still lying sick, so the state affairs could only be temporarily handed over to Shenyue Haotian to deal with.

In addition to the troubles on the side of Qi State, the originally quiet subject countries around Tianyang Country are also ready to move at this time, and there are signs of rebellion, which is equivalent to a stone stirring up a thousand waves, and it is no wonder that Shenyue Cangting will fall ill, and the ministers of the court and the central government have many opinions, and Shenyue Haotian is also troubled every day.
