Chapter 244: Whistling (I)
Wu Yue suddenly panicked, the nineteenth princess has become strong and calm since she arrived in Xiyuan City, and she is also calm and calm in case of trouble, it is rare to see such a weak side, but what is the matter now? Wu Yue was a little inexplicable.
"Princess, what's wrong? Is there something on your mind? Wu Yue hurriedly ran back and hugged the princess in her arms, at this time they were sisters, friends, and best friends, not princesses and guards!
"I didn't ...... It's nothing! It's just that the thought of leaving Xiyuan City suddenly makes me feel very sad in my heart......" The nineteenth princess lay in Wu Yue's arms and said a little gloomily.
"Hey! What's there, when we go to Lingyue Mountain, that's a good place for us to develop, no one can restrain us anymore, every day with Xiaobao, Sister Wuxin, they are together, and when the time comes, they will still be responsible for management, it will definitely be better than now! Wu Yue smiled without any scheming, how did she know that the nineteenth princess was because she saw Wu Yue too happy, which made her feel unspeakably lonely and helpless......
But this did not last long, and the nineteenth princess regained her composure and sanity, and in fact, she was not allowed to have too much time to take care of herself, because ten red-clothed cannons had been quietly sent to the barracks under the protection of many guards.
Of course, even in the camp of the Nineteenth Princess, this matter is quite secret, and only a few people have access to these artillery. Recently, spies and assassins from all sides have been constantly haunting, and the situation is very tense, and it is difficult to ensure that there are no hidden enemies in their military camps.
Duanmuqi also received the message and hurried over, he wanted to verify whether Zhu Xiaobao's promise was fulfilled, and he also had to read the preface to rest assured. It was about 150,000 denier of food, and Duanmuqi didn't dare to take it lightly.
"How far can this redcoat cannon hit?" Duanmuqi asked. Cheng and power are the most critical parts of this red-coated cannon!
"Two thousand to two thousand five hundred steps! It's enough to make King Ming wonder where he called from! Zhu Xiaobao patted the red-clothed cannon and said very confidently.
"So far? Are you sure? This can't be child's play! Duanmuqi asked again in surprise.
"Don't worry, I'm still conservative, it's possible to go up to three thousand steps!" Zhu Xiaobao said a little unpleasantly, and then asked Duanmu Qi, "How are we doing?" Isn't it possible to start too? ”
"Hmmm! I came this time to tell you two things, first, I have adjusted the people and horses, so that Xia Zixiu can go to camp. Second, it is also a good thing, because of Xia Zixiu's positive performance, I also adjusted the men and horses of the nineteenth princess to the westernmost side by the way to change the guard, so that it will not arouse the alarm of others at all! Duanmuqi nodded and said, he looked at the nineteenth princess approvingly. Xia Zixiu's performance must have been within the plan of the Nineteenth Princess. How did he know that it was actually Xia Zixiu's own strong request.
"What about the grain? The most important thing is food! 150,000 deniers, but enough for us to carry it for a while! Zhu Xiaobao stared and asked.
"Huh! The food can only be dialed in little by little, otherwise it is easy to arouse the suspicion of others, but don't worry, I will never break my promise to live well! Duanmuqi Duanmuqi looked at Zhu Xiaobao very aggrievedly, 150,000 denier grain, it really made him feel distressed!
"Won't that take a long time?" Zhu Xiaobao miscalculated a little, he thought that as long as the food arrived, he would be able to transport the food to Lingyue Mountain with great fanfare, and then transfer the people and horses of the nineteenth princess one after another, but now it seems that it is not like that at all, it has to be carried out little by little, quietly, and this has to take a month? Coupled with the grain that the nineteenth princess originally stockpiled, how could there be 300,000 deniers! It's still a huge project!
"Hmmm! So be it! Mr. Duanmu, go back first, I will personally send Xia Zixiu tomorrow, and let Chief Wu go to the Cave Heaven Blessed Land and be responsible for shipping the grain! The nineteenth princess nodded and said, at this time, she was not afraid to confess her thoughts in front of Duanmuqi, because Duanmuqi had already guessed, but she didn't say anything, she just opened her eyes and closed her eyes......
Returning to the Cave Heaven Blessed Land, Zhu Xiaobao also began to make preparations for evacuation, many things that should be dismantled and removed were registered, and those equipment that could be taken away were taken away, and Zhu Xiaobao took Tong Wuxin and others to seal the cave that entered the Cave Heaven Blessed Land with cement. Anyway, a small hole is reserved, which is already filled with explosives, and can be re-exploded if needed.
Seeing that his territory was about to give up like this, Zhu Xiaobao was really a little reluctant, but thinking that the place on the side of Lingyue Mountain was wider and his behavior was more free, Zhu Xiaobao was still looking forward to it!
The first group of people were those people from the Cave Heaven and Blessed Land, including Du Ping, Du'an, Du Xing, Du Wang, and the four of them, and these four people are now the indispensable right-hand men of Zhu Xiaobaobian. And those aged wines sealed in the cave, Zhu Xiaobao did not plan to take them away, and after a few years, they became old wines and were taken out, and they must be sky-high treasures!
……
The next day, the nineteenth princess went to send Xia Zixiu in person, as soon as she saw Xia Zixiu, the nineteenth princess also felt that her eyes were bright, today Xia Zixiu was neatly dressed, her armor was bright, and she was riding on a horse, and she was really a little bit of a high-spirited appearance when she first arrived in Xiyuan City, and she couldn't help but evoke some memories, but in a blink of an eye, the nineteenth princess shook her head and waved away these past sorrows.
Xia Zixiu's 40,000 horses have been assembled, and General Cheng and they are also waiting there in good spirits, waiting to open with Xia Zixiu, although they are not willing to die for the Seventh Princess, but they can see that their sons have regained their spirit, which still makes these soldiers who have followed Xia Zixiu's father and son for many years very excited!
What surprised the nineteenth princess a little was that Ji Zhi was also neatly dressed and followed Xia Zixiu's side, and Ji Zhi's momentum was very strong, and he had begun to have the kind of killing aura that he had experienced on the battlefield, which made the nineteenth princess very surprised, Ji Zhi's progress was too fast, and it was a little unexpected. But thinking of Ji Zhi's bad habits, the nineteenth princess still shook her head a little regretfully, this habit is difficult to change, and it can only be more restrained in the future!
Sent out ten miles, the nineteenth princess and Xia Zixiu rarely said a few words along the way, but both of them felt a kind of estrangement, as if they were acting, and this atmosphere was very embarrassing. Fortunately, almost ten miles away, the nineteenth princess reined in her horse and said goodbye. repeatedly told Xia Zixiu to be careful. Then he waved them on.
But looking at the opening of the 40,000 Ma Haohao dàng) dàng), the nineteenth princess had a very strange feeling, that is, Ji Zhi followed Xia Zixiu, but Xia Zixiu kept going back to discuss something with Ji Zhi, as if between the two, it was Ji Zhi who was the main one, and Xia Zixiu was
Follower, this feeling makes the nineteenth princess very strange!
"Princess, what's wrong? Is there something wrong? Wu Yue also discovered the doubts of the nineteenth princess and hurriedly asked.
"Have you noticed that Ji Zhi is very assertive, but Zi Xiu is a little unconfident?" Princess Nineteen asked softly.
"What's this, that guy has a lot of ghost ideas, Xia Zixiu...... Oh, no, it's a colt, how can Xia Pony be so eloquent? But this guy's recent performance has been good! Wu Yue was still very arrogant, and she didn't feel anything wrong at all.
"Let's go! It's time for us to go back, there's a lot of work to be done! The nineteenth princess shook her head, maybe Wu Yue was right, Ji Zhi was more respected in front of Xia Zixiu because he could speak well!
……
Xia Zixiu took his men and horses and stationed in the westernmost camp, but the development of events was a bit unexpected by him, and his soldiers attached too much importance to him and arranged his camp in a very safe place. In this way, it is really not so easy for Xia Zixiu to get to the front line, as soon as he moves, he will alarm the soldiers under his command, everyone will immediately protect his safety, which makes Xia Zixiu very depressed, Lao Tzu doesn't want any protection, I want to find a partner!
……
However, the transfer of men and horses on Duanmuqi's side made King Ming extremely dissatisfied, he thought that Duanmuqi was lobbying them to stop the war, but on the other hand, he was secretly deploying, and now the enemy army on the opposite side has increased significantly. Isn't it an increase, and the people and horses who exchanged rooms with Xia Zixiu have been arranged here, because from the actual combat situation, it is still King Ming's troops that are the strongest, strong and well-equipped, much stronger than King Wen's men and horses.
In this way, King Ming, who was still in a state of temporary truce, took the lead in attacking, although he was always on guard and did not relax, but it also made Duanmuqi feel pressure, after all, King Ming's men and horses were as many as 800,000, and Duanmuqi was only 300,000 people and horses defending here, which was already the most people he could arrange here, because there were 80,000 casualties, and there were still 100,000 horses left in the defense of King Wen
Offensive.
Now Feng Xiaoyong's missiles have long been used up, so the situation is very critical, Duanmuqi hurriedly flew to the back of the camp and asked Zhu Xiaobao to hurry up!
Zhu Xiaobao rushed over after arranging many matters in the blessed land, this was the first appearance of the red-clothed cannon, and he didn't dare to be disdainful, so as soon as King Ming started the war, Zhu Xiaobao came to the nineteenth princess.
"Hurry, hurry! Xiaobao, when will the red-coated cannon be put into battle, the front is almost unbearable! Duanmuqi ran over and shouted a little embarrassed, his face was covered with dust, and there were a lot of blood stains on it, and those who didn't know thought he was injured!
"Hmmm! It's been ready for a long time, just wait! Zhu Xiaobao held the map in his hand and said: "Where are the main forces of King Ming distributed now, help me mark them!" ”
"This is the strong crossbow battalion, here is the infantry, here is the ironclad army, and here is the location of the catapult......" Duanmuqi has a lot of experience after all, although the situation is urgent, but he also understands the deployment of the other party very clearly, and he has an extra telescope in his hand this time, so a lot of things that he couldn't see are now in full view.
As for this kind of map, Duanmuqi is already very familiar with it, the last time he went to the Cave Heaven Blessed Land, he saw it, and he was very interested in this kind of labeling, and he could quickly understand and use it.
"Hmmm! This catapult camp is still a little far away from us! Five hundred steps further! Zhu Xiaobao looked at the location marked by Duanmuqi, nodded and said.
Five hundred steps is a very short distance for such a large camp, not to mention that this is still in the rear, and there is no obstacle at all. The soldiers under the Nineteenth Princess quickly advanced the ten red-clothed cannons five hundred paces away.
"Alright, let them all stand back, strengthen the guard around them, and don't let anyone enter the area I have circled!" Zhu Xiaobao looked at the surrounding environment, it was relatively hidden, and at the same time, the soldiers here had already avoided it, and only the three thousand men and horses of the nineteenth princess were in charge of guarding.
"Hurry up!" Duanmuqi saw that Zhu Xiaobao was still moving around adjusting the angle of the muzzle, so he urged anxiously. He can't help but be in a hurry, the battle ahead is tight, there are soldiers and soldiers killed and wounded all the time, and he can't afford to lose!
"How many catapults are there in King Ming?" Zhu Xiaobao still asked unhurriedly.
"Five hundred! Among all the princes, King Ming's equipment has always been the best! Duanmuqi said helplessly, now he can only wait for Zhu Xiaobao to make a move.
It was now almost one and a half kilometers away from the ironclad army at the front of King Ming's troops, because Zhu Xiaobao was in the rear of Duanmuqi's camp. King Ming's troops have begun to bi) close to the city wall, and the catapults behind have also stopped throwing, and now they are mainly attacking with strong crossbows, but King Ming's ironclad army is not afraid of strong crossbow attacks, so they are steadily advancing. The queen of the ironclad army is the strong crossbow battalion of the Ming King, providing them with support.
King Ming and Princess Ming at this time are riding on a horse, standing on a high slope, is watching the battle, according to the past experience, has now formed a certain advantage, the early catapult tens of thousands of throws, has caused great damage to the city wall, now as long as the ironclad army can go forward bi) nearly a hundred steps, then the back of the troops can follow the attack to the city, start the most tragic siege battle, then the Ming King's various advantages can be fully played! His catapult could also be pushed closer and thrown directly into Xiyuan City!
"Haha! Madam, now Duanmuqi has fallen into passivity, and the next thing is siege warfare, relying on the advantage of numbers and siege equipment, no matter how resourceful he Duanmuqi is, it will have no effect! If you're fast, you'll be able to storm Xiyuan City before dark! I can win it tomorrow at the latest! "King Ming is now very good-hearted, and his own advantages are obvious!
"Hmmm! I'm a little puzzled, according to the secret report from the spies, the nineteenth princess is also in Duanmuqi's army these days, I wonder if there is some trickery in the middle? Princess Ming nodded slightly, but said with some unease. According to past experience, such a situation is already a great chance of winning, but Princess Ming is faintly a little uneasy!
"Haha! That was because Duanmu Qi was afraid that he would not be able to hold on, so he took the nineteenth princess with him, and escaped with her when necessary! King Ming still laughed and said.
At this moment, suddenly there was a whistling sound overhead, and then there were strong explosions in the catapult camp behind him......
