Chapter 617: Hole Cards Out (Part II)

Princess Ming really felt the possibility of destruction this time, the other party really took out all his strength this time, and launched an offensive all night, and in some places it had already begun to engage in short-handed combat, and the number of dead soldiers increased dramatically all of a sudden.

But the hearts of the eldest prince and the sixth highness are also twitching, and their losses are also sharply wide, and if this continues, almost half of their own men and horses will be lost. But now that the war has entered the white heat, there is no room for regret, it can only be a continuous attack, not giving King Ming's men a chance to breathe.

King Ming's ironclad army finally went to war, in the face of the main force of the great prince, the ironclad army began to divide into several phalanxes to crush and advance forward, the great prince's troops finally couldn't resist, this kind of ironclad army is not afraid of the shooting of the bow and crossbow, and the catapult did not dare to launch, because the people on both sides were too close, and the catapult would hurt their own people if they were launched again. The Grand Prince's troops did not panic and began to retreat.

The shield soldiers in the back row held oversized shields and began to resist the shooting of the ironclad army, and the king of Ming personally led the infantry with the cooperation of the ironclad army, and began to counterattack, forcing the prince's men and horses to retreat continuously, less than half a day, even advanced five miles, the king of Ming's heart finally breathed a sigh of relief, this is his world-famous heavy armor iron horse, where he passed, ignoring any defense, absolutely crushing. Many of them didn't have time to retreat, or they ran slowly, and were directly trampled to death by the ironclad horses of the ironclad army, stepping on the corpses of the enemy along the way, advancing steadily.

"Haha, Xia Zeyuan, you came out for me, didn't you want to fight me? Come on! King Ming carried a three-pointed two-edged knife, rode on an iron-armored war horse, and shouted loudly, finally feeling a bad breath.

"Humph! Second, I advise you not to chase, my reinforcements have arrived! "The eldest prince is also wearing armor, showing himself from behind the banner, looking at King Ming coldly, the two have been fighting for more than ten years, just like enemies of life and death, there is no brotherhood at all. Since they were sensible, the two have been fighting openly and secretly, and they have never stopped. Now it's time to tell the results.

"What other hole cards do you have, take them out and let me see, don't run away like this! That's so boring! Give me the command, charge me! King Ming exclaimed a little carried away.

This time, the eldest prince retreated with his men and horses in a slightly embarrassed way, and he also dropped a lot of weapons and horses along the way, and even a granary in front of him was too late to move. made King Ming overjoyed, urged people and horses again and again, and chased and beat fiercely.

However, chasing to the granary, King Ming suddenly felt that something was wrong, the terrain on both sides gradually became higher, they seemed to be in the lowest place, and at the same time, the other party's men and horses no longer retreated, but turned their horses' heads and waited for battle.

"Not good! Hit the trick! Retreat! King Ming immediately felt that something was wrong, he was too careless, he chased it so far, and now it is obvious that he has entered the ambush of the other party.

"Haha, second child, it's late, don't leave today!" The eldest prince appeared on the hillside at this time, and waved the command flag in his hand. Immediately, the shouts of killing shook the sky, and countless burning boulders rolled down from the hillsides on both sides. And the granary in front of it is also fake, there is no grain in it at all, but hundreds of small carts loaded with flammable materials, which are also set on fire at this time, cutting off the belts, and these burning carts are rolling faster and faster along the hillside, heading straight for the ironclad army......

The ironclad army is not afraid of swords and arrows, but it is most afraid of fire attacks, and it is also afraid of the impact of these boulders, this is the strategy that Situ Bufan came up with against the ironclad army of King Ming, although it lost some soldiers, but successfully lured King Ming to chase here. Without Princess Ming supervising the battle, King Ming is still too impulsive!

And the catapult behind the mountain also began to project a large number of soldiers, and the soldiers behind the ironclad army were immediately smashed into a mess, and the command of the king of Ming was also ineffective, and they roared again and again in the chaotic army, but the earlier situation was that those ironclad war horses also began to run around, these war horses were usually well-trained, even if they were injured, they would not mess up, but they were hit by those boulders, and at the same time their bodies were on fire, these war horses began to be unbearable, and they began to squeeze and collide with each other, and the ironclad soldiers on the horses could not control it.

In the end, King Ming's men and horses were defeated, and there was no resistance at all, and King Ming, under the desperate protection of his guards, couldn't care about the soldiers who fell to the ground, so he stepped out of a way to escape and escaped desperately.

The eldest prince also led people to start the final encirclement and suppression at this time, and the 400,000 horses led by King Ming this time followed him back less than 100,000, and those ironclad troops were almost wiped out. In this battle, the prince gained a lot, not only won 100,000 ironclad war horses, but also killed more than 100,000 people of King Ming, and the remaining soldiers were disarmed and surrendered......

The eldest prince was not satisfied, and wanted to continue to pursue with victory, but he was stopped by Situ Bufan: "Don't chase anymore, even if you fight for days, our soldiers are also very tired, and if you chase it again, Princess Ming will inevitably divide her troops to come to reinforcements, then it will be too cheap Sixth Highness!" ”

"Alas! It's a pity that the second child escaped! The eldest prince slapped his thigh very unwillingly and said.

"Huh! Chitose, don't worry, this battle has already hurt King Ming's vitality, and it is only a matter of time before he is exterminated! We still have to be prepared to deal with the Six Highnesses next, this is the key! Situ Bufan said to the eldest prince in a low voice.

"Well, it's still the military advisor who sees far! Well, then let the dick live a few more days! I don't know what's going on with the sixth child? "The eldest prince is actually very satisfied in his heart, and he now hopes that His Royal Highness will fight more fiercely. As soon as he thought that the sixth hall was facing Princess Ming, the eldest prince was a little looking forward to it, looking forward to the two families fighting and losing both.

But it backfired, His Royal Highness was not as tragic as imagined, and Princess Ming also led 50,000 ironclad troops to fight, because the city wall had been breached, and she had to take people to fight, because she had to buy time for the troops and people behind to withdraw to the rear.

This is the 50,000 ironclad army that has been hidden under Princess Ming's hands. It is claimed to be 200,000 ironclad troops, but in fact, Princess Ming has another 50,000 under her command. This was somewhat beyond the expectations of the Sixth Highness. But what shocked Princess Ming even more was that His Royal Highness the Sixth also sent an iron cavalry with heavy armor, which was completely different from the original equipment, and it turned out to be an ironclad army that completely imitated King Ming, although the iron armor and war horses were not as good as the ironclad army of King Ming, but in terms of numbers, it had occupied an absolute advantage, 150,000 against 50,000!

The Sixth Highness can't play any tricks here, because the terrain here is flat, which is suitable for large-scale fighting! However, His Royal Highness the Sixth was not in a hurry, but rode to the front of the formation and shouted to Princess Ming.

Princess Ming also urged her to step forward, and replied before the battle: "Sixth brother, do you really want to be so ruthless?" ”

Princess Ming's face was haggard and her face was full of dirt, but that temperament was still there, but after several days of fighting, Princess Ming was already very tired!

"Second sister-in-law, you also know that in the end, there can only be one left! But the foolish brother has always respected the imperial sister-in-law, as long as you dismount and disarm, I guarantee that you will still enjoy the treatment of Princess Ming, once I inherit the unification. I promise you a county, completely under your control! You and your second brother can continue to live a prosperous and prosperous life! How is it? His Royal Highness said very sincerely, he didn't look down on King Ming, but he admired Princess Ming very much, this woman was very talented and very capable, he needed such a person.

"Huh! Disarm and surrender, then let it be slaughtered! Do you think I'll do that? I'm here to tell you that if you want to carve up the Ming King's fiefdom, you have to pay enough price! Princess Ming smiled faintly, at this time, she also understood that it was only a matter of time before she was destroyed, but she would never surrender.

"Hmmm! Then there is nothing to say, go to war! Imperial sister-in-law, you have to be careful, even if the two families fight to the death, I still don't want to see you injured! His Royal Highness Nodding, and then said, he felt that he needed a woman like Princess Ming by his side, and following King Ming was simply a pearl.

"Humph! Less nonsense! War! Princess Ming snorted coldly, how could she not see the thoughts of His Royal Highness the Sixth, she also knew that once she was destroyed, the results of a woman like her would not be very good, so she planned to fight to the end.

This time it was a real frontal fight, and almost no stratagem was needed, just to see who had more people and who had more momentum.

What surprised His Royal Highness a little was that although Princess Ming was in the city destroyed, her soldiers were still high, just because Princess Ming took the lead and made a determination to live and die in one fell swoop.

In the face of the 150,000 heavily armored iron cavalry of the Sixth Highness, Princess Ming still had the confidence to destroy them, because these imitation ironclad troops, whether they were war horses or soldiers, could not be compared with her ironclad army. Of course, this is also one of the reasons why those soldiers are actually on the rise, the ironclad army is invincible, this is the impression that has been formed in their minds for many years!

300,000 to 600,000, the number of people and horses of the Sixth Highness was fully doubled, but on the scene, it was Princess Ming's troops who took the lead in the charge. The 50,000 ironclad army that Princess Ming relied on the most was neatly lined up and marched forward. Worry-free Literature Network

And the 150,000 iron cavalry of the Sixth Highness also began to advance forward, which made Princess Ming a little surprised, could it be that these fake ironclad troops could really compete with their own ironclad army? Although the number of people is worried, it is very common for Princess Ming's ironclad army to have one enemy and ten!

When the two sides got closer and closer, only fifty paces away, suddenly from behind those fake ironclad armies flew out of the burning straw bales, each straw bale was not large, but it was launched very densely, and the distance was close, and the accuracy was also very high.

Princess Ming found that there was a small cart behind each iron horse, there was a soldier on it, and there was a simple launch equipment on the cart, this soldier was responsible for lighting the small straw bale, and then launched it, this design is very ingenious, the arc of the launch can just pass the iron horse in front of it, and fall to a place thirty or forty steps away. It turns out that this is already an improved ironclad army, and I have to sigh that everyone is constantly improving for the war, and only by constantly improving can we have an advantage!

Seeing that these small straw bales on fire, once they fall, they can cause a lot of fire, and many of them fall on the body of the ironclad army or the ironclad warhorse, and suddenly those ironclad armies are a little chaotic.

"Don't panic, speed up and engage them at close range!" Although Princess Ming was a little caught off guard, she was still able to stay calm and quickly make the most reasonable order.

The true and false ironclad armies of the two sides finally collided together, and this time it showed the power of the real ironclad army, those ironclad horses couldn't bear it at all, and they were pushed back again and again, and Princess Ming's side was not comfortable, many of the ironclad armies were on fire, and the war horses began to run and jump......

"Rush!" Princess Ming didn't care about the ironclad army that was on fire, seized this short-term advantageous situation, and immediately launched a full-scale charge, and launched a white-edged battle with the troops of the Sixth Highness!

"She's going to work hard! Someone, pass my order, all attack, don't take a step back! His Royal Highness shook his head a little palpitatingly, although the number of people is superior, I am afraid that the loss in this battle will not be small! But now it can only be to go all out and give Princess Ming a fatal blow......

……

At this time, Xiyuan City ushered in the first batch of troops, and now the number of people in Xiyuan City has quietly increased to 500,000, but many people are wearing ordinary people's clothes and have not landed as soldiers. But among these people, Yu Li also arrived with 20,000 female warriors.

As soon as they met with Yu Shuang and Yu Xue sisters, the three of them were still noisy, because Yu Shuang and Yu Xue were complaining that there was no battle to fight these days, and they were acting every day, rushing down in front of the formation, and then falling down and dying, and then being pulled back by someone in a carriage, which had to be repeated several times a day, which made Yu Shuang very annoyed by the renewal of the contract, and simply fled back to Xiyuan City.

But as soon as the two saw that Yu Li had brought another 20,000 female warriors, they knew that the real war was not far off, which made them very excited. And the nineteenth princess also came out to greet her in person, and she suddenly had confidence in her heart, these 500,000 horses are definitely worth the 1 million horses of King Ming!

"Brother-in-law! Is there really going to war? Hit whom? Yu Shuang asked urgently when she saw Duanmuqi, Yu Xue and Yu Li were also looking forward to looking at Duanmuqi, now in Duanmuqi's study, they still have the courage to be presumptuous, after all, they are brothers-in-law! Didn't Duanmuqi go to the eldest sister Yu Hui, so now they usually call Duanmuqi 'brother-in-law' affectionately.

"Hit? With just our men, who can you beat? Duanmuqi looked surprised and asked rhetorically, in fact, Duanmuqi still has a good impression of these female killing gods, they are all straightforward, and there is nothing bad about them, and Yu Li is now much more low-key than before But her prestige is getting higher and higher, because she is more capable of leading troops.

"Huh? If you don't fight, why are you and I bringing so many people for? Isn't that a waste? Yu Shuang immediately exclaimed in frustration.

"Humph! With so many people, it is used to defend Xiyuan City, once King Ming is destroyed, we will face the joint attack of the two princes! Duanmuqi snorted angrily, but there was no worried expression on his face.

"Huh? Is King Ming really going to be destroyed? Are we really going to be dangerous? At this time, there was an exclamation from the nineteenth princess at the door, she was actually worried about this problem, so she couldn't help but come to Duanmuqi, but she didn't expect to hear such a terrible inference as soon as she entered the door.

"Huh? Princess, please be seated! I didn't expect you to come! Duanmuqi was also taken aback, and hurriedly gave up his seat to the nineteenth princess, then served tea, and then sat down again, and said calmly: "Princess, don't worry, King Ming will not be defeated so soon, at least he can resist for a while!" But I guess they'll be coming to us soon! ”

"Oh! So what do we do? The nineteenth princess was immediately relieved, and then asked.

"Cry poor! We don't have so many people, how can we help them, and it's good to be able to continuously ensure food supply! Duanmuqi said exaggeratedly.

"Well, we don't really seem to have many centaurs!" The nineteenth princess said understandingly.

……

Princess Ming was also defeated, and the defeat was very miserable, and only 100,000 of the 300,000 horses were brought back, but the only thing to be thankful for was that those people and baggage were transferred to the rear, which was equivalent to leaving an empty city for His Royal Highness Liu. But the cruel reality is that their territory has shrunk again, and now they have lost a third of their fiefdoms, and they have lost 1.5 million men.

After the war, after a short break, King Ming and Princess Ming sat in the handsome tent, both in a heavy mood, they could already foresee the final ending, but they were just making the final struggle.

"Madam, if it really doesn't work, you can take your family and go first!" King Ming said a little sadly, he not only has to worry about his family, but also about his wife, he knows that many people are staring at his wife. Isn't he also a woman staring at others! I just didn't expect it to be my turn so soon.

"Run? Where can you escape? Didn't you see what happened to King Wen? I'm not going anywhere, I'm going to die in battle, and I'm never going to be someone else's prisoner! Not to mention their plaything! Princess Ming's expression was cold, she had prepared for the worst, she understood that once she was captured by the eldest prince and His Royal Highness the Sixth, it would be a very humiliating beginning, and it was better to die happily. Princess Ming is still very tough!

"Alas! I didn't expect to fall into such a situation, I knew that it was better to join forces with the third child all the time, and I shouldn't have calculated him! King Ming said with a little annoyance, and then said with a flash of inspiration: "Or, let's retreat to Xiyuan City?" It's easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the current fortifications of the Nineteen Sisters have also been built! ”

Seeing King Ming's excited eyes, Princess Ming felt very disappointed, this is the idea that King Ming came up with? She snorted coldly, "You have a brain disease, right? The nineteenth sister is now the 'King of the West', and her status is equal to you, wouldn't it be tantamount to forcibly occupying her territory if you go? ”

"Hah! That's just a false name, just her 200,000 horses? We are destroyed, and it will be her turn soon, and only we can save her! "King Ming has regained some sense of superiority in the nineteenth princess, and he actually began to be happy.

"Idiot! The current strength of the nineteenth sister is definitely above us! ”

"Impossible, right?"

"Get out!"
