When the Seventh Prince rushed back to the border city with his soldiers, the border city had already changed. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 With the help of the local people, the city wall has been well repaired and reinforced, even a lot higher than the original, and even a crossbow has been placed on the city wall, which is a weapon with a longer range than bows and arrows and is more lethal.

This made the Seventh Prince very satisfied, but this was far from enough! According to the previous inference, in a few days, Mo Xuan and Zhao Bing will join General Fuyuan's men and horses, and then lead the northern barbarians to the border city. Now, more preparation is needed.

Soon the Seven Princes entered the city with the army, and at the same time entered the city with a large number of cattle, sheep and horses, all of which were excellent war horses. The people in the city, looking at the large number of cattle and sheep, were also red-eyed, but they did not dare to act rashly.

The Seventh Prince didn't let them suffer too much, and when he saw the skinny appearance of the people, he immediately ordered the slaughter of one hundred and ten cattle and sheep, so that the people in the city were all satisfied! When the people heard this, they immediately cheered. Even many people knelt outside the Seven Princes' line and wept bitterly.

At first, the Seventh Prince thought that there was an uneven distribution, but when he inquired, they all came to thank him, which made the Seventh Prince feel complacent, thinking that he could afford it, and sad! It's just a full meal, these people ...... It is conceivable what kind of life they are living!

appeased the people, but the Seventh Prince didn't have more time to feel it next. On the one hand, he ordered men to erect horses outside the city to resist horses and dig trenches; On the one hand, the sergeants of the army were ordered to go up the mountain to cut wood, and the people melted the snow and poured it on the city wall.

The people were originally grateful to the Seven Princes and his party who came all the way to the rescue, plus Mo Xuan saved Dazhu and others, these people are all locals, there are relatives, one spread ten to hundred, and soon the people here all know that the Seven Princes are here to save them.

Sure enough, in less than a month, the Seventh Prince distributed a large amount of food to them, still meat! When the hearts of the people were moved and grateful, the Seven Princes ordered the people to melt the snow and water the city walls. One of them can't exert their strength.

During the day, the city wall was burned and the snow was watered, and at night, when the north wind blew, a layer of ice armor was frozen on the city wall, and on the second day, the third day, after seven or eight days, the entire city wall was not only half a foot taller, but also much thicker. Sometimes, when you pass by with torches, you will find that the entire wall is glowing and looks like it is made of crystal.

But this crystal city wall is beautiful, but it is not easy to attack, easy to climb! Looking at this thick ice-covered city wall, the Seventh Prince smiled treacherously.

While the people of the city were watering the city walls, the soldiers quietly built two temporary fortifications on the not too high hills on both sides of the city, under the pretext of cutting firewood. Under the development of craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry, a large number of simple sleds were made, and the sleds were piled with stones and rolling logs.

In fact, it is not accurate to say that it is a rolling log, because none of these logs are very large, and some of them are even relatively small. They were all cut down for firewood, but the branches were brought into the city, and almost all of the poles left on the hills were the main poles, smeared with the fat of cattle and sheep, and piled up on simple sleighs.

General Fuyuan is worthy of being a veteran, and one day after the seventh prince returned to the city for more than ten days, he led the Northern Barbarian army to the city.

The originally low, even notched city walls, have become tall and strong, which makes the northern barbarians, who have no siege equipment, very angry, but can only return with hatred. But if they want to leave, will the Seventh Prince allow it? Are the people of the city allowed? Are officers and men in the army allowed? No! No one allowed it.

Therefore, when they withdrew, the sound of thousands of horses galloping sounded on the two hills outside the city at the same time, and before the Northern Barbarians could react, thousands of simple sleds rushed into the Northern Barbarian army under the action of gravity and inertia.

Although the military formation of the Northern Barbarian Army was relatively loose, in the face of an army of fifty or sixty thousand, these more than 1,000 taels of sleds still played a good role in blocking.

In particular, the sled is a temporary simple sled, in the process of sliding faster and faster, many of them fall apart directly, and the stones on the sled will not stop because the sled falls apart, especially those slick, smeared with ox and sheep fat trunks, but also at a faster speed, more unexpected angles, rushed into the Northern Barbarian army.

At this time, on the hills on both sides, a large number of cavalry rushed out, most of them had already bent bows and arrows in their hands, and even some swords and axes were not good at riding and shooting, and they threw torches directly one by one!

The horses, which had tripped over the rocks that had suddenly rolled in, were already in a panic, and the trunks of the trees, which had been smeared with ox and sheep fat, suddenly burst into flames under the action of rockets and torches. The Northern Barbarian soldiers, who had been sneering at the sergeant shooting rockets from the sky, immediately panicked when they saw the tree trunk burning.

You must know that animals have the instinct to fear flames, and in the ice and snow, in a plain white, a raging flame suddenly ignites, and there are more than one place, everywhere, many war horses are uncontrollably neighing, rushing and rushing, and people stand up.

When the Northern Barbarians were in turmoil, the soldiers who rushed down from both sides went around in a circle and went behind the Northern Barbarian soldiers, and just formed a front and rear flank with the spearmen array coming out of the city gate. Although the Northern Barbarians were murderous, they were unable to form an effective counterattack at this time. Except for a very few people who escaped by personal bravery, most of them were under the walls of the border city and became captives!

The sergeants who escorted the captives were full of excitement in their eyes, but they could still restrain themselves, while the people in the city were already cheering! At this time, the entire border city fell into a carnival. Although these captives are all shouting that the Seven Princes are invincible! It's a sneak attack! It's a trick! It is even said that the soldiers of the Heaven/Dynasty did not dare to face the Northern Barbarian warriors head-on!

But no matter what these captives say, the Seventh Lord won, and the Northern Barbarians became prisoners! Does the opinion of the captives matter? Who cares? Do the people of the border city care, or do the hundreds of thousands of soldiers brought by the Seventh Prince care? Or did the civil and military ministers and the emperor in the court care? Their yelling just makes them a joke.

Until a few days later, the Seven Princes rewarded their meritorious deeds on the spot, and the people of the northwest border cities who almost survived, every household was allocated cattle and sheep, which pushed this carnival that did not need to be controlled to a climax!

After the Seventh Prince rectified the prisoners and sent back the war report, he left General Fuyuan and 30,000 soldiers and reorganized the defenders of the border city before starting to return to Beijing.

However, looking at the remaining cattle and sheep, the Seventh Prince was worried. With so many cattle and sheep, it is certainly unrealistic to slaughter them, and they are rewarded to the people...... Bowl of rice and rice hatred, and you can't reward too much for no reason. But if someone asks the Seventh Prince to drive these cattle and sheep back to Beijing, the Seventh Prince will definitely reward him with a board!

It wasn't until Mo Xuan said to Zhao Bing during the chat, and Zhao Bing went home and told Qiluo that Qiluo came up with an idea for the Seventh Prince. The idea is very simple, to raise the surplus cattle and sheep in a pen and set aside a piece of grassland as a government pasture, which will be used to help those people who really need it in the future, which is also good!

When the Seventh Prince heard Mo Xuan talk about it, he readily agreed, and ordered Mo Xuan to take charge of the matter. Mo Xuan was stunned, but he didn't refuse, he found Zhao Bing and Qiluo, who were three partners, and they were not embarrassed to build it quickly with the help of the people of the northwest border city. Of course, this is only a simple temporary one, and it will be necessary to send someone to manage it in the future.

It was also at this time that Mo Xuan and Zhao Bing stumbled upon the "former town guard" who had escaped from the battlefield. The reason why he said that he was the predecessor was because he had always thought that he had also died in battle, and he had even gone to the capital to fold his son, waiting for the Holy Lord's approval to send a newcomer to guard it.

When the Seventh Prince saw his predecessor who was tied up with his backhand, he didn't say anything, just smiled coldly, and turned to leave.

A few days later, the Seventh Prince finally sorted out the affairs of the northwest border city, refused the peace envoy sent by the Northern Barbarians, and took a large army and Zhao Bing and his wife to escort the escaped former town guard and thirty or forty thousand Northern Barbarian prisoners, and set off to return to Beijing with a more magnificent attitude than before departure.

In this western expedition, although more than 1,000 soldiers were killed, and thousands of people were seriously injured and lightly wounded, compared to the army of 100,000 soldiers, it was just a drop in the bucket, and compared to most battles, it can really be regarded as a complete victory! The government and the opposition suddenly became jubilant. The emperor was even more happy when he looked at the good news, and he looked like a spring breeze everywhere he went.

This was the first war after the emperor ascended the throne! And it's a complete victory! How does this dislike him? In addition, it is his size that leads the troops, and he has always relied on - the seventh brother!

When the Seventh Prince led the army and the captives to be less than 100 miles away from the capital, the Wujun Palace, which was bustling with Wanyu's dowry, came to report that the saint personally announced that he would go out of the city to greet the people on the second day, knowing that the relationship between the Prince of Yi's Mansion and the Wujun Palace's Mansion was close, and the nephew of the Princess Wujun and the queen's mother was still in the army, and talked about Wanyu's makeup.

Mo Xuan was obviously surprised! When he was out on the expedition, he forgot about it, so he told the seventh prince, and he didn't care about anything else, so he flew on his horse, wanting to rush back to the city, at least before Wanyu got married. Seeing this, Zhao Bing wanted to go together, but was stopped by the Seventh Prince.

In the eyes of the Seventh Prince, this Zhao Bingzhen is a rare talent, and he plans to recommend it to the emperor in person, and there will not be much difference if he wants to come to the emperor.

And what a privilege is it for the emperor to announce that he will personally go out of the city to greet him? However, the Seventh Prince did not say anything, and of course the emperor did not expect him to say anything, in the emperor's opinion, it was an attitude for him to go out of the city to greet the heroes.

But the emperor also understood that in the eyes of the seventh prince of Prince Yi and his seventh brother, he was afraid that he just thought that his fourth brother had not seen him for a long time, just like when he returned from the south, he went out of the city to greet him, there was nothing remarkable. Thinking of this, the emperor couldn't help but raise a warm smile on the corner of his mouth.

Originally, as long as any decree was issued, the emperor would always attract more or less opposition from the courtiers, but when he announced that he would personally lead a hundred officials out of the city to meet the triumphant army, no one questioned anything, and even the emperor was satisfied with the brother, friend and brother Gong between the emperor and the seventh prince. What's more, this is the emperor's first victory since he ascended the throne, which is of great significance! (To be continued.) )
