Chapter 307: Returning from a fiasco

The seventh princess listened to Wu Shuangcai's report, but nodded indifferently, and did not show too much surprise and praise. This made Wu Shuangcai a little disappointed, he spent so much energy, but he didn't expect to get any praise from the Seventh Princess, even if it was a verbal praise! And now that Duanmuqi has found some Ni Duan, revenge will definitely come in the future! This also made Wu Shuangcai feel a little faintly worried in his heart!

Now the Seventh Princess really doesn't have the heart to care about these little things, and now Xiyuan City is about to be unable to hold it, speaking of which, this is still the sequelae left by Zhu Xiaobao.

It turned out that the red-clothed cannon did play a very powerful deterrent role! But when this thing runs out of shells, it's gone! What's more, Zhu Xiaobao also buried a foreshadowing in advance. In this batch of shells, more than a dozen self-detonating shells were also mixed in, that is, a little fire exploded in the barrel, in order to destroy the ten red-coated cannons.

Originally, Zhu Xiaobao told Duanmuqi before leaving, but Duanmuqi didn't tell anyone else, he had always been on guard. When the seventh princess withdrew his military power, he was even more reluctant to say it.

Therefore, Feng Xiaoyong happily accepted these red-clothed cannons, which were indeed terrifying, and for a while, even King Ming did not dare to attack Xiyuan City on a large scale! But skirmishes never stopped. But as long as Feng Xiaoyong fired a few shots, King Ming's men and horses would definitely retreat for several miles! Therefore, Feng Xiaoyong has been a good news for a while ago, and he has won the favor of the seven princesses!

Originally, Duanmuqi was also weighing, and felt that he was not in danger, so he planned to send someone to destroy those self-detonating bombs, but just when Duanmuqi was about to eliminate the hidden danger, Ji Zhi suddenly became troubled. This interrupted Duanmuqi's destruction operation!

Fortunately, more than a dozen self-detonating bombs were at the bottom, and Feng Xiaoyong now knew that he was saving a little, so every time he only fired a few shots and stopped, he also knew that as long as he could deter King Ming's people.

But no matter how much he saved, the two thousand shells still bottomed out, and this time in the face of King Ming's large-scale attack, Feng Xiaoyong was also a little flustered, and knocked out the remaining twenty or so shells at once!

As a result, it can be imagined that instead of deterring King Ming's army, the ten red-clothed cannons exploded in his own back camp, and suddenly there were several loud bangs, and the flames soared into the sky, but the Ming King's men and horses were startled! Took the initiative to retreat three miles.

Feng Xiaoyong was dumbfounded, what was the situation, the ten red-clothed cannons were gone, and hundreds of soldiers were killed and wounded? Could it be that someone is deliberately sabotaging? That's too professional, and no one seems to be able to figure it out yet.

But Feng Xiaoyong had no time to pursue these questions. Because King Ming's spies soon found out the news. King Ming and King Wen immediately joined forces to launch an attack on an unprecedented scale, this time it was not for show, but to take Xiyuan City in one fell swoop! To be exact, he wanted to drive the Seven Princesses' men and horses out of Xiyuan City. Because the men and horses of the Seven Princesses were stationed behind them, they were really like thorns in their backs. Make them deeply disturbed!

Without the deterrence of the red-clothed cannon, Feng Xiaoyong could no longer be brave, and the two sides joined forces with 1.5 million horses, more than twice as many as him. Feng Xiaoyong this

The matter really experienced a vicious battle, and finally they were the side that held on, and they were relatively well prepared, so they could hold it for a while, but Feng Xiaoyong also had to urgently ask for help, because the casualties were too heavy, and 200,000 horses were killed and injured in just a few days!

King Ming's men and horses also suffered heavy casualties, but his various supplies were very timely, and the siege equipment also showed great power, so that Feng Xiaoyong finally saw the power of King Ming!

Although King Wen is not as fierce as King Ming's troops here, this time he is also very hardworking, and he actually dispatched 500,000 horses, fighting very tenaciously, and the battle is also very fierce!

Fortunately, there are just 40,000 horses of Zhao Meng stationed here in Xiyuan City. Didn't he offend Ji Zhi, so the Seventh Princess asked Ya to come to Xiyuan City to help, in fact, she wanted him to avoid Ji Zhi, but she didn't expect to save Feng Xiaoyong. Now Zhao Meng is at the northeast city gate, where he is resisting King Wen's men.

But in Zhao Meng's eyes, as soon as he saw this trend, he knew that Xiyuan City could no longer hold it, and he sent several urgent summons in a row, asking the Seventh Princess to quickly send a boat to take all the soldiers of Xiyuan City back, and Xiyuan City didn't want it!

This is the most undecided thing for the seventh princess now, and it is easy to gain a firm foothold in the resource city, but she didn't expect that she suddenly couldn't hold it. The direct reason is that the ten red-coated cannons actually exploded, but this is too much of a coincidence, right? Duanmuqi was fine when he was there, and this kind of thing happened as soon as Duanmuqi escaped? The Seventh Princess was very suspicious that Duanmuqi had sent someone to do something in the middle.

But now it's too late to investigate this matter, and now the top priority is whether to give up Xiyuan City, or to increase troops to defend Xiyuan City.

In the main hall, the opinions of the two factions quarreled again, and many people were observing the words and emotions to see what the intentions of the seventh princess were, and then they were willing to speak! And the Seventh Princess really hoped that someone like Duanmuqi would stand up and make a considerable statement of stakes, but no! Not a single one! Even Wu Shuangcai is figuring out the mind of the Seventh Princess! Ji Zhi really wanted to express his opinion, but he had no experience in such a large-scale battle, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense, after all, he still hoped that the Seventh Princess would win!

"Shut up! Don't make any noise! None of them worked! ---- I decided to immediately send 800 warships and troop carriers to Xiyuan City to bring back our men and horses, and Xiyuan City ...... Let's give up for now! The seventh princess said a little unwillingly, but after all, she is a person who has fought a big battle, and she knows that her current form is no longer able to hold Xiyuan City, and if she blindly carries it to the death, the loss will be even greater!

"Chitose Wise!" All the civil and military officers immediately sang in obedience, and everyone finally found the direction of patting the sycophants, and they were all relieved. In fact, most people want to give up Xiyuan City, but in fact, they are staying in Southeast County, and they are still very safe and secure, so why not!

With the order of the seventh princess, the warships of the southeast county have moved, and the seventh princess has personally gone out, after all, it is related to the gains and losses of a county, she wants to see what is going on in this Xiyuan City!

This time, although Ji Zhi also came to Xiyuan City with him, Ji Zhi did not express any opinions, he was observing carefully, and it was the first time he had participated in such a large-scale battle. There are a lot of things for him to learn! this

Of course, there is no need to worry about Zhao Meng! Everything is about the big picture!

When she arrived in Xiyuan City, the seventh princess deserved to be the prince of the horse, who had experienced thousands of battles, she was no stranger to this kind of tragic scene between attack and defense, and she was not very afraid, but seeing her own people and horses suffering heavy losses, the seventh princess was indeed a little unbearable!

Finished! This Xiyuan City must not be able to hold it! The seventh princess knew the result at a glance! I went to the Northeast City Gate to see Zhao Meng again, and when I saw Zhao Meng's face full of dust, my eyes were red, and I knew that I hadn't slept for several days! I couldn't help but feel sour, didn't Duanmu Qi do his best like this at the beginning, who would have thought that he would betray himself in the end!

"Chitose! Hurry up, the sooner you evacuate, the smaller the loss! Now there are only 300,000 horses left! Zhao Meng said very heartbrokenly, no matter what, seeing his soldiers constantly casual, there is no hope, as a general is always very painful.

"I see! I'm going to check out that red-clad cannon's camp! The seventh princess also nodded helplessly, and then said hatefully, she had always suspected that Duanmu Qi had done something to these red-clothed cannons!

But when I came to the camp where the red-coated cannons were placed, it was just a mess, and after the cannons exploded, they were thrown here, and there were scattered cannon wreckage all over the ground, and there were some dry blood stains, because a lot of soldiers were killed at that time!

But it was impossible to see something famous, and Feng Xiaoyong also rushed over to ask the seventh princess for guilt. But Feng Xiaoyong swore and said: "It will definitely not be destroyed by someone?" There's no way anyone can get mixed up here, and I'll take over the cannons. Just let my guards lock this place down! Even if it's General Zhao Meng, you can't get in without my generals! Not to mention sabotage! ”

"Don't you suspect that Duanmu Qi did something before leaving?" The Seventh Princess also suspected that she was wrong, and Feng Xiaoyong's approach could be said to be the safest. But this thing is still very weird, ten cannons exploded at the same time, this is simply artificial!

"Yes...... I also suspect that Duanmuqi did something, but I can't think of a way! Feng Xiaoyong said depressedly.

"Alas! I now suspect that this matter is still the work of Zhu Xiaobao! Forget it, bring me those two relatively intact redcoat cannons, and see if our craftsmen can fix them! The Seventh Princess sighed and said, she suddenly realized that she seemed to have neglected the existence of Zhu Xiaobao!

The Seventh Princess began to withdraw her troops overnight, although King Ming and King Wen got the news at the first time, but neither of them moved. They also suffered heavy losses in the siege battle this time, and now that the Seventh Princess is withdrawing from Xiyuan City, it is the best, and it is obviously unwise to chase and fight again!

Withdrawn from Xiyuan City, counting the men and horses, a total of 460,000 horses have been lost in the past six months, in addition to hundreds of thousands of wounded soldiers, and more than 10,000 seriously injured, all of which will cost a huge amount of money to clean up and treat the aftermath in the later stage! Now that I think about it, I should have followed Duanmuqi's advice at the beginning, stayed firmly in Southeast County, and waited for the fisherman's profit!

The more the seventh princess thought about it, the more annoyed she became, and the more she thought about it, the more depressed she became, and finally fell ill......
