Chapter 616: Hole Cards Out (Part I)

Due to the annexation of half of King Wen's territory, King Ming's fiefdom has become a long and narrow battle line, and there are many areas that can be attacked head-on, which is the biggest hidden danger after swallowing King Wen. The Sixth Highness does not have this problem, because he is now joining forces with the Great Prince, so the battle line at the junction of the two is ignored. And before joining forces, the three parties contained each other, and this problem was not prominent.

Now King Ming is the most uncomfortable, eating King Wen has doubled his battle line, but the population of his fiefdom has increased by less than two percent. So this time the war made King Ming feel very difficult. He is known as three million men, but in the face of the joint attack of the Great Prince and His Royal Highness the Sixth, he is still a little stretched, the opponent's number is still superior, and the other party also has an advantage, that is, the focus of the attack can be constantly changed, so that King Ming is also forced to constantly mobilize troops to support the enemy's most violent attack.

After the painful lesson of the last time the grain was burned, Princess Ming had tried her best to take precautions, but she didn't expect the other party to still use this trick, and now two more granaries have been burned down, losing 30,000 deniers of grain.

But this time the way of setting fire was completely different from Zhu Xiaobao's, that is, a lot of similar death squads were dispatched, with missiles, fuel, etc., to attack each granary, although the success rate was not high, but it also burned two granaries, which had a great impact on the hearts of those soldiers on the front line, and the camps where the grain was burned were directly out of food.

"Hehe, interesting, how did these people get in? I can't imagine that this trick will work everywhere! Zhu Xiaobao also took the telescope and looked at it, and couldn't help laughing.

"What's so difficult about this, such a long front, not all fronts have city walls, many places rely on the terrain to carry out defense, it is still easy to blend in dozens of people, change into the clothes of the Ming King soldiers and follow in. Besides, in the fiefdom of King Ming, a lot of spies have long been planted, and they can also play the role of surprise soldiers in peacetime! Jia Langa said disapprerovingly, even if it is her, there are many lurking points in the fiefdoms of the princes, these are all started in front of the station, and some people have even been lurking for several years.

"Oh! With the shrewdness of Princess Ming, there are also a lot of people in the fiefdom of the eldest prince and the sixth highness! Zhu Xiaobao nodded, it seems that this underground work has been highly valued since ancient times, and it can play a huge role in destruction many times.

"Of course, even if it's me, there are people from Princess Ming!" Jialanga looked at Zhu Xiaobao in a little surprise, didn't this British king Chitose even know this? So what kind of battle is there to fight?

……

Duanmuqi and the Nineteenth Princess were standing on the top of a mountain, and they were also looking at the battle situation in the distance with binoculars, and they were very relaxed. Now the war started smoothly as Duanmuqi expected, and it was still fought fiercely. Now that he saw the smoke coming from King Ming, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "It seems that everyone knows King Ming's weakness, and the price of grain is going to rise again!" ”

"Mr. Duanmu, how long do you think King Ming can hold out?" The nineteenth princess was shocked to watch, such a tragic battle did make her feel a little palpitated, there were tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of casualties every day, she was secretly worried that she didn't seem to have such a strong strength.

"How long? Hehe, early, do you think King Ming and Princess Ming are vegetarians? They won't run out of cards! Princess Ming, a woman, must not underestimate her. Look at it, the eldest prince and the sixth highness want to gnaw on the fief of King Ming, it's not as easy as they think! Duanmu Qi shook his head and said with a smile, he just wants to see what hole cards King Ming has now!

……

In the evening, the prince and the military advisor Situ Bufan were drinking and celebrating, burning the two granaries of the king of Ming, which dealt a great blow to the momentum of the soldiers of the king of Ming, and today forced the king of Ming to give up a position, and retreated back for fifty miles, and now he has crossed the Heishui River, and continues to march towards the hinterland of the king of Ming. And His Royal Highness the Sixth sent people to send condolences, wine and meat, plus eight beauties. Because the people he sent out this time did not succeed, they were all killed by the Ming King troops guarding the granary, so he was a little embarrassed, so he had to send something to show it.

"Humph! This sixth child is playing tricks again. He doesn't want to use his hole cards! The eldest prince snorted a little dissatisfied, but when he saw the eight beauties sent here, his eyes lit up, he hadn't eaten human flesh for several days, and it was still very timely to send this Ming beauty, it seems that the sixth brother still knows his hobbies very well. But in front of Situ Bufan, the eldest prince still tried his best to hold back, because Situ Bufan was still very jealous of his hobby!

"Yes, it's only a matter of time before you take King Ming's fiefdom, but then you have to deal with this Sixth Highness, he has a lot of hidden strength, and now you must put pressure on him. Let him show these hole cards! Situ Bufan also said very solemnly, he looked farther, and was already thinking about what would happen after defeating King Ming. Once King Ming is defeated, the situation is still more favorable to His Highness the Sixth, because there is still a Jialanga to the west of the Great Prince, which is a force that must not be underestimated.

"What do you say you should do?" The eldest prince is also a mixed bag, it will be a long time to ascend to the throne, and then not only will he have to deal with the Sixth Highness, but there is also a seventh princess in Southeast County!

"Suspend the pace of the attack, so that King Ming has the conditions to reinforce the eastern front, anyway, now that we have captured a lot of territory, it is time for the Sixth Highness to make some efforts!" Situ Bufan took a sip of wine and said in a low voice. He has already begun to use his brains to weaken the strength of the Sixth Highness!

"Good! Hahahaha, let's also see, what hole cards does the sixth have, if he doesn't work hard, he won't be able to occupy the territory, this time it's not so easy to play a slippery head! The eldest prince suddenly laughed and said. He also personally poured Situ Bufan full of wine to show his appreciation!

"Thank you Chitose!" Situ Bufan said with a little trepidation. He is still very proud to be treated by the eldest prince!

"Report! The area around Thumb Mountain was raided by King Ming, and 50,000 horses were wiped out! Unexpectedly, when he was happy, the messenger ran in in a panic to report.

"What? No way! Isn't it already occupied by us? Where did the people of King Ming come from? Did it fall from the sky? The eldest prince suddenly shouted in shock and anger, and kicked the unlucky herald out of the account with one kick, and actually kicked him to death! But the successive reports made the eldest prince finally believe that Thumb Mountain was indeed lost, and the whole army was destroyed!

It turned out that this thumb mountain was given up by King Ming on his own initiative, but in the belly of the mountain, there were 10,000 elite soldiers lurking in it, and they lurked in the cave for two days, until the other party was the most lax, and took advantage of the darkness to eliminate the 50,000 troops guarding here in one fell swoop. These people are still in their sleep, and they have become ghosts under the knife. Before leaving, these people also burned all the grain that went out to patrol here, which can be regarded as a response to the eldest prince burning two granaries......

……

His Royal Highness the Sixth also received the news, and couldn't help but sneer secretly: Idiot, too carried away, right? Is Princess Ming so easy to deal with? Now it's time to taste the bitterness! In one night, 50,000 horses were lost, and 10,000 deniers of grain were hitched.

His Royal Highness the Sixth is also drinking and enjoying, and he has strategists under him, but he doesn't care much about the ideas of these strategists, and there is nothing amazing about them. And he likes to be arbitrary, and he is the one who makes all the big things. Just as Situ Bufan thought, His Royal Highness the Sixth Highness also began to prepare for the events after the destruction of the Ming Dynasty. So he didn't advance fast, just crossed the Blackwater River. Now the territory that the eldest prince has seized, in his opinion, he doesn't know whose it is in the end!

Just when His Royal Highness was secretly proud, his guards ran in and reported in a panic: "Chitose, it's not good, a large number of soldiers are vomiting and diarrhea, they should have been poisoned!" And it's still spreading, so go check it out! ”

"What, poisoning? How can it be poisoned? Who poisoned it? His Royal Highness was suddenly dizzy, realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly got out of the tent and rushed to the barracks.

Sure enough, the situation was even worse than he expected, and the number of poisoned people had reached tens of thousands, and it was still increasing rapidly.

Hurriedly called the military medical officer to ask, and the military medical officer said a little helplessly: "It should be that after King Ming's men and horses withdrew, they poisoned the Heishui River, and they were upstream, so our soldiers were poisoned!" ”

"Huh? This woman is really vicious, and she actually let her use such indiscriminate methods! You say, those poisoned soldiers, how many days will they recover? His Royal Highness immediately shouted angrily. Keyuan

"It will take at least two or three days, but the most troublesome thing now is that there is not enough herbs, and I don't know how many people have not yet had a seizure!" The medic said hesitantly.

"It's broken! Hurry up and assemble your team, strengthen your defense, and beware of the opponent's massive counterattack! "His Royal Highness the Sixth immediately realized that the situation was not good, and I am afraid that Princess Ming will know about the situation here.

But it was already too late, and suddenly the lights on the opposite city wall were bright, and a large number of Ming Wang's troops rushed out of the city gate, and they had already begun to counterattack here!

"Hurry, hurry! Organize the defense immediately, retreat immediately, meet the enemy immediately! His Royal Highness shouted in panic, at this time his troops also began to be chaotic, and they couldn't organize a decent defense at all, and those soldiers who were poisoned were even worse, they couldn't even walk, and they saw the other party's soldiers rushing over, cutting melons and vegetables like harvesting people's heads!

In this battle, the Sixth Highness was directly beaten back to the opposite side of the Heishui River, only to get the support of the troops behind, which was regarded as stopping the defeat, but the losses were heavy, with 70,000 casualties, and what was even more infuriating was that the food left by the original camp was also brought back by the soldiers of King Ming.

Standing in the Heishui River, looking at the opposite side, I saw the soldiers of King Ming cheering, this was the first time they had won a big victory since the war, and Princess Ming was riding on a horse, standing proudly, and also looking at the six highnesses on the other bank, the soldiers behind her surrounded her, at this time Princess Ming was more like a king, and her prestige far exceeded that of King Ming!

"Good! Good! All right! Princess Ming, worthy of being the heroine among women, when I destroy King Ming, I don't want anything else, I must get this woman! His Royal Highness the Sixth also looked at this Ming princess, and suddenly laughed, and said fiercely......

Overnight, both families experienced a fiasco and suffered heavy losses, and the next day the eldest prince and the sixth royal highness came to see each other, sat down again, and the eldest prince spoke very dissatisfied: "Sixth, see, this woman is not easy to deal with, you don't hide it anymore, otherwise this war will drag on for a few months!" ”

"Brother Huang, what do you mean, you mean I didn't do my best? By now, I've lost 400,000 horses! What else do you want from me? The Sixth Highness snorted angrily.

"Huh! Don't think I don't know, your 300,000 iron horsemen have only been used, and they are generally not enough. These 300,000 iron horsemen are not much worse than King Ming's iron armor army! The eldest prince said with a smile.

"What about you? Has your Divine Crossbow Camp been used? Isn't it left to deal with me? Not to be outdone, His Highness the Sixth Highness replied.

"Two Chitose are angry, and listen to what the old man says!" Situ Bufan quickly stood up, arched his hand and said. Although he had already begun to think about what would happen after the destruction of King Ming, the current situation was still something he didn't want to see.

"Humph! You said! ”

"Strategist, please speak!"

"Ahem! The two Chitose, although King Ming temporarily achieved a small victory, but the whole battle situation has not changed, they are still at an absolute disadvantage! Now we must work together and not give them a respite. Princess Ming's power is compared to what everyone has already seen, so we will never hide our selfishness, and the Divine Crossbow Camp will be dispatched tomorrow! Sixth Highness, what do you think? After Situ Bufan finished speaking, he asked with a smile, did he want His Royal Highness Six to also make a statement and show all the hole cards in his hand.

"Yes! My 150,000 iron horsemen will be in place right away! His Highness nodded and hummed simply.

……

King Ming is also holding a banquet here to celebrate, he feels that with this wife, there is no need to worry about it at all, he is absolutely civil and military, and he has excellent strategy! Even Situ Bufan didn't suffer defeat in the same way?

So this time, King Ming was happy and convinced to celebrate Princess Ming, but Princess Ming's face was not easy, she knew in her heart that such a small victory could not change the overall pattern at all, and she was still at an absolute disadvantage. What worries her even more is that the next thing will attract the other party's crazy retaliation, and a larger attack may be coming.

"Huh! Madam, don't worry, I still have 200,000 ironclad troops that haven't been used! Now that the food supply in Xiyuan City is very timely, we have no worries! You want to destroy me, huh! It's not that easy! King Ming drank a bowl of wine very excitedly, this is also the best roasted knife sent by the nineteenth princess, King Ming's favorite!

"Alas! I'm afraid an even more terrible war is coming! The other nineteen don't have an attitude that makes me a little puzzled, it seems to support us very much, and Jialanga is even more strange, the two sides are so deadlocked, what does Jialanga want to do? "Princess Ming is still very calm, but the more she analyzes thoroughly, the more worried she becomes, her own strength is clear, after all, it can't compare to the combination of the two princes.

"Huh! The performance of the nineteenth sister is still very good! Being able to contain Jialanga has already solved my worries! King Ming smiled with great satisfaction. These days, the food of the nineteen princesses is very timely, and even this victory, they also sent wine and food to Princess Ming to celebrate, so King Ming is very satisfied with the nineteen princesses!

"Although this is the case, I always feel that it is not so simple, Duanmuqi, an old fox, will not be so kind! And that little treasure, who didn't honestly stay in the Great Zirui Kingdom as his king, came here to confront Jialanga, don't you think it's strange? Princess Ming had a hunch that Duanmu Qi had other plans, but she just couldn't think of what he wanted to do!

"Hahahaha! Mrs. is too worried, Duanmuqi has the ability to do it again, and now he is the military advisor of the nineteenth sister, and he has to listen to the nineteenth sister. Not to mention Zhu Xiaobao, in order to please the nineteenth sister, a slave can marry the nineteenth sister, and he has to behave well! King Ming laughed even more, and then touched a certain desire, walked over and hugged Princess Ming and said, "Madam, the two of us should also have a good relationship!" I've been abstinent for days......"

"Go, go, go! It's not you who is in trouble! Otherwise, things wouldn't have gotten to the point they are today! Princess Ming pushed away King Ming in disgust, she is now in charge of the overall situation, and she doesn't have this mood at all.

"But! I've reformed myself! Besides, you also said that without this matter, the boss and the sixth would still find other excuses to attack us! King Ming exclaimed a little angrily.

“…… Well, well, hurry up, I want to rest early, I still have a lot of things to arrange tomorrow! Princess Ming sighed, and finally let King Ming get her wish, now is the critical moment, and the enthusiasm of King Ming cannot be hit, so Princess Ming has no choice but to let King Ming succeed!

Sure enough, on the second day, the Great Prince and His Royal Highness the Sixth launched a more ferocious attack at the same time, and the Great Prince launched the Divine Crossbow Battalion, this kind of Divine Crossbow has been improved, the range has been increased, and the lethality is huge, the only fly in the ointment is that it requires two people to operate, so although it is a 20,000 Divine Crossbow Battalion, it is actually 40,000 people. Moreover, there is a steady stream of special crossbow arrows to be transported later, and the configuration of a divine crossbow battalion is 50,000 people. The Great Prince has four divine crossbow camps. This is also his strongest combat power! This time there are two crossbow camps.

His Royal Highness the Sixth also launched a new attack with anger, this time mobilizing 150,000 iron cavalry, he was really angered by Princess Ming, and lost 70,000 horses at once, can you not feel distressed!

But Princess Ming also has hole cards here, and the missiles they haven't used have finally come out, and their missiles have also been improved, and the range is longer, and they have been shot into the crossbow camp, which caught the prince a little off guard, and lost a lot of crossbows and soldiers. And the iron cavalry of the Sixth Highness was also disrupted by this ultra-long-distance missile, and even lost five thousand iron cavalry as soon as they came up!

Duanmuqi, who was watching from the top of the mountain, smiled with satisfaction at this time: That's right! Everyone is starting to show their hole cards! Now the real battle begins!
