Chapter Twenty-Nine—The Birth of the Prince

In the city of Huicheng, all the soldiers and civilians have already been mobilized by Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing to deploy defenses on the walls on the four sides of the city, and after the battle of Xuancheng, the city has already prepared a way to deal with the harassment of the demon bat riders, and the heavy crossbow has already been placed before this and is directly aimed at the airspace overhead. Before the Demon Bat Riders of the Dark Legion approached the city, the twenty heavy crossbows mounted at the head of the city immediately launched the most ferocious and powerful heavy crossbow fire directly at the hundreds of Demon Bat Riders without hesitation.

The impact of the heavy crossbow is also quite offensive for these demon bats, the demon bats can resist many ordinary bow and crossbow shots with their wings, but this kind of heavy crossbow uses extremely powerful iron arrows, and the attack of this iron crossbow arrow can not resist its power even if it is the demon bat of the dark army. Before the Demon Bat Riders could concentrate here to launch a harassing attack, the head of the city immediately launched a preemptive attack with a heavy crossbow and arrows. The Demon Bat Rider was unprepared and caught off guard and didn't have time to dodge, and in an instant, dozens of Demon Bat Riders were shot down directly from the city by iron crossbow arrows, and the terrible cry of the Demon Bat rippled at the head of the city, and the rider riding on the Demon Bat also fell down to the city with the Demon Bat, making a terrible shout.

The rest of the Demon Bat riders saw the sharp and fierce subway crossbow arrows at the head of the city, and they were hesitating to retreat for the time being, and asked the Ming Yi envoy for their next plan. The iron bolts on the second round of heavy crossbows had been assembled and fired one after another, but because the distance was not far, and the Demon Bat riders did not move their position at this moment because they were hesitant. The second round of iron crossbow arrows galloped forward, and in an instant, more than a dozen demon bats made a terrible sound and fell vertically to the ground and fell down the city tower.

At this moment, the remaining Demon Bat riders began to turn around without hesitation, and evacuated the head of Kaihui City as quickly as possible. They had also realized that this Qi city had already prepared to guard against them, and now they were afraid that their abilities alone might not be able to pose the due threat and harassment to the city. They decided to go back and report back to the two messengers, I am afraid that to achieve this plan and goal, they still need the help of other armies, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve the goal.

With the help of a preemptive crossbow strike, the castle successfully repelled the harassment of the Demon Bat Riders, and the soldiers on the castle tower involuntarily began to celebrate and cheer for each other. Celebrate this very smooth and successful "blow" for them.

However, as far as Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing, the two main generals who were in charge of defending the city in charge, did not make them happy when they were very successful in repelling the harassment of the Demon Bat Riders, but only increased their worries even more. According to the original estimate, the original Dark Legion would send out the main force of the real Dark Legion to attack the city after two or three days of harassment by the Demon Bat Riders' sneak attack. But today's attack of the Demon Bat Riders was directly hindered by the strongest force, and I am afraid that tomorrow, if the Dark Legion is in a hurry, they may directly send their main force to attack them. This does not bode well.

After thinking about it for a while, Feng Baiyi finally gave an order, "Quickly pass my order, order the garrison in the city to increase by another five thousand, to thirteen thousand, and be sure to stop all possible attacks from the ground by the Dark Legion troops and any other possible wars no matter what." ”

"Yes!" the guards around him immediately bowed their hands and immediately opened the head of the city, and went straight to the military camp in the city to give the order. At this time, all the troops in the military camps that were originally stationed outside the city have been withdrawn from the city, and there are camps and troops stationed everywhere in the city, which is a great pressure on the city itself, which is extremely crowded because of the people who come from all over the city, although there is no problem with military rations at present, and the accumulated grain and grass are relatively enough to avoid the problem of military rations. But this is not a long-term solution, even if the dark legions besiege the city from all sides without attacking it, it will not be long before they will have to retreat and leave the area due to a lack of military rations.

But there is no other way to choose, for the sake of today, the only way to do our best to temporarily hold the city, and do our best to prevent all possible ground forces of the Dark Legion, after the battle of Xuancheng learned a lesson and also understood a lot about the dark army's combat policy, although the defense on the city wall was almost flawless, it also successfully blocked even the powerful existence of the ancient dragon species of the Black Flame Fire Dragon. But then, because there was no timely defense of the army dispatched by the Dark Legion, the army that could appear in Xuancheng City by escaping completely inadvertently, which directly led to the burning of the granary armory and had to divide the troops to rescue, resulting in the inability to take into account the beginning and the end, and the defensive dilemma in the city was directly broken by the Dark Legion, Xuan Lejun finally martyred the country and did his best to block the pursuit of the Dark Legion, and finally barely protected part of the Qi army to withdraw to Huicheng.

After the soldiers of the Qi State who had experienced the defense of Xuancheng were reminded, Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing naturally took this matter into account when they made comprehensive arrangements for the defense of Huicheng, and for this reason, they also specially arranged for 8,000 troops to patrol in batches in Huicheng City, strictly guard against death, and try their best to prevent all dangers from appearing in Huicheng no matter what. However, after a battle that night, Feng Baiyi immediately decided to add another 5,000 troops to patrol the city all night to ensure safety.

Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing stood side by side at the head of the city, looking at the night sky that was already dark and unable to see the signs clearly. But they all knew that in the distance, silent under the moon, was the out-of-city base camp that the Dark Legion was now building. Xia Qing leaned on her husband's shoulder, and asked Feng Baiyi beside her in a worried tone that she had never seen before: "Senior brother, you say, this time, can we really save the day.......... His Majesty Xuan Lejun died in Xuancheng, countless soldiers, soldiers and people......... They all died at the hands of the Dark Legion............ Can we, really, save the day?"

Feng Baiyi heard the helplessness and worry in his wife's words, he had nothing else to say, he could only silently hold his wife's shoulders and sigh leisurely, in fact, why wasn't he like this? The interference from the outside world has not actually dealt a big blow to them, and they have experienced countless adventures and hardships along the way, but they have never experienced this kind of invisible and deep despair, and they have been besieged by the strong strength of an unknown force in such a place where the sky should not be called the earth, and the future ahead is only confusion and helplessness. But Feng Baiyi didn't want his wife to feel such despair, so he forced a smile to comfort his wife: "It's okay, I believe that Yu Chong and Shanshan will definitely be able to do what we can't do, and now they haven't trapped themselves in a situation where they can't leave, I believe they won't let us down." ”

Xia Qing nodded lightly, "Indeed, I also believe that they can do it." Our sons and daughters must be the best!"

Speaking of a pair of children, Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing's original worries, nervousness and even a little despair were finally dispersed, indeed, they don't know where the two brothers and sisters Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan are now, but in any case, their two brothers and sisters are the trust and pride of their two husband and wife.

The two husbands and wives were silently sighing at the head of the city, when a fast-paced guard suddenly rushed to their side, and the guard hurried to Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing's side, and shouted loudly in a hurry: "Two highnesses, the big thing is not good, the big thing is not good!"

Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing immediately got rid of each other's helplessness and worry, they turned their heads to watch the guard's hurried movements, only to hear the guard rush to the face paint of the two of them, the guard said as if out of breath: "Two highnesses, concubine....... The concubine is about to give birth.........."

"What!" Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing, who suddenly heard the news, didn't care about anything else, and directly ran down the city wall and went straight to your hotel, this child is a kind of hope for most of the soldiers of the Qi Kingdom, a special hope. Xuan Lejun's widow is not only the inheritance of Xuan Lejun's bloodline, but also the hope of all the soldiers and civilians of Qi State. Especially for Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing, Xia Yun is not only a concubine, but also their sister, and Xia Qing's own sister, and Xia Qing has a special plot that cannot be separated from them.

Countless soldiers and ordinary people who had heard the news had gathered in front of your inn in front of the city, and this news was an invisible encouragement for them to hear a good news on the eve of the full-scale attack of the Dark Legion. Although none of them were allowed to enter your hotel, it was precisely because of this that they gathered at the entrance of your hotel to form a huge flow of people. As a result, the guards in your hotel had to come out and maintain a stable order inside and outside your hotel as much as possible, so that the situation in front of them could barely be stabilized, so that the vicinity of your hotel would not become disorderly because of this.

At this time, Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing anxiously came to the door of your hotel under the protection of the guards, and the guards here all knew these two noble princes, so they naturally got out of the way and bowed, Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing didn't care about returning the salute, and walked straight to your hotel. Soon, the two of them had already walked into the back hall of this noble hotel, where a large number of maids had gathered at this moment, some were holding basins with water, some holding hot towels in their hands and staying on the side of the road, while others were standing at the door to form a natural barrier to protect Yun Guifei Xia Yun in the delivery room behind the screen.

Although Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing are noble, but the delivery room is also a place where they can't enter, they can only stand in the hall and wait anxiously, Xia Qing clenched her husband's palm, she has personally experienced the pain of giving birth, and knows that the pain of giving birth is unbearable for ordinary people. And her sister is just pregnant at an advanced age, and although she is nearly forty years old, she looks as young as a little girl in her early twenties. But in fact, it has already lived up to its youth, and it is very dangerous to have children. "Senior brother, I'm so worried.......... Do you think Yun'er will she ............?"

"Congratulations, congratulations, it's a little prince!"
