It is naturally impossible for Helan Ying to let herself fall into the hands of Yuanchen, otherwise she will really be killed by him and die in vain.

He also got it right that Yuanchen didn't dare to be tough on him, now that Daliang has captured the six cities, if Dawei's own soldiers and horses fight in the civil war, then Dawei will be over.

Yuanchen wasn't that stupid. He has always been ambitious, and he also wants to replace Yuan Zhao, but he can't let Dawei fall into overthrow.

He Lanying does not have many soldiers and horses in his hands, although there are 70,000, but it is indeed his life talisman.

Yuanchen looked at He Lanying, although he was annoyed, he still pressed it calmly and rationally, and sneered, "Since this is the case, then the main hall is waiting, even if I spare you today, I want to see, you have lost six cities in a row, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not spare you." ”

"This doesn't bother His Royal Highness." He Lanying took the sword.

Great Wei had 370,000 soldiers and horses, plus two siege artillery. Yuanchen discussed with the generals whether to defend Qiangli City or take the initiative to recapture Changhe City.

After some deliberation, some people fought the main battle, and some people defended.

Yuanchen asked He Lanying, "He Lanying, what do you say?" ”

Helan Ying said: "The old protector of the country is like a god, behind him, there are reinforcements from Daliang, I have sent someone to investigate, and it is said that it has arrived today." Second Highness, do you know how many reinforcements Da Liang has? There are also two hundred thousand. It was the prince of Daliang who led the troops in person. That is to say, now in Changhe City, there are 400,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Daliang. And we are less than 400,000. ”

"But we have two siege guns." One humanitarian: "These two siege cannons are enough to reach thousands of troops." ”

Helan Ying naturally knew the power of the siege artillery, "But Daliang, there is the old protector of the country, and there is the echo of the prince Yan." Capture six cities in a row, morale is very high. And our army, recently lost six cities in a row, morale is low, before His Royal Highness the Crown Prince captures Southern Chu and sends reinforcements back, we just need to hold on to it and not lose more cities, it is enough. ”

Yuanchen didn't speak.

Helan Ying stared at Yuan Chen, "Second Highness, if you are in a hurry, you will be in danger, this is also my original intention to preserve my strength as much as possible and delay the reinforcements." Are you afraid of death? To die is to die worthily. ”

Yuanchen glanced at He Lanying, glanced at everyone again, and finally finalized, "Defend the city." ”

Helan Ying breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that although Yuanchen was ambitious, he didn't joke about the Great Wei Dynasty.

After Yan Echo reconciled with the old protector of the country, he was in Changhe City, and at the same time sent people to investigate the situation of Great Wei. The spies sent back the news that Yuanchen, the second prince of the Great Wei Dynasty, led 300,000 troops, and brought two siege guns developed by the Great Wei for many years. Of course, this is without filibusters.

All the generals of Daliang were shocked, Dawei actually developed a siege artillery?

The old protector's face was solemn, and he sighed deeply, "It's not surprising, more than ten years ago, the old man listened to the secret spy report, and the Great Wei Dynasty transformed the ordnance supervisor and established the general secret ordnance battalion. The old minister once suggested to His Majesty that Daliang should also pay attention to it, and not relax the military just because he had just signed a peace treaty with Dawei. However, His Majesty rejected the emptiness of the country, the urgent need to restore the people's livelihood after the war, etc., and he needed to exhaust manpower, heart and financial resources, and said that he would start two years later, and the old man also knew that he was in a hurry, so he gave up, and later ...... Hey, it has been delayed again and again, and the treasury of Daliang has never been able to allocate this silver for the transformation of weapons, so my Daliang armament, in the past ten years, has not made much progress. ”

At first, Daliang was indeed the post-war treasury empty, tired of recovering the national strength, for three or four years, even His Majesty had to cut back on food and clothing, but with the recovery of national strength, His Majesty completely sat in the position, tasted the benefits of the imperial power above tens of thousands of people, and saw that the Great Wei really settled down because of the signing of the contract, and there was no more trouble, so he began to have the mind of checking and balancing the court situation, and he was very relieved to take power in internal affairs. lest you not be able to suppress the Protector Mansion. As the prince became smarter, he grew up and became more and more intense, even if His Majesty later supported the military, it was not the ordnance supervisor or the Protector's Mansion that supported him, but Zhang Ping, who had wolf ambitions.

Yan Echo thought of the old things, and then thought of the emperor who had completely thought about it now, and the emperor who had given him full authority was also emotionally indistinguishable for a while, and was silent for a while before he said: "Those two siege cannons, you have to think about it, destroy it." ”

"If you want to destroy it, I am afraid that it will be folded into many hands." The old protector of the country said: "The Great Wei has been developed for more than ten years, and it must be very fond of this siege artillery, and it will be strictly guarded, but now there are only two, I don't know how many there are in the Great Wei." ”

Yan Echo was more worried about Southern Chu, "Yuan Zhao, the prince of Great Wei, led 800,000 soldiers and horses to attack Southern Chu, and he suspected that more siege artillery must have been taken to Southern Chu by him." ”

The old protector took a breath, and his face changed.

Yan echo said calmly: "So, old Guogong, we have to fight, fight as soon as possible, the Great Wei that fought was defeated and retreated, and Yuan Zhao, who was fighting, had to give up Southern Chu and withdraw his troops to come back to save Great Wei." ”

The old protector nodded, gritted his teeth and said: "If this is the case, it is necessary to rest for a day as soon as possible, and send troops to Qiangli City tomorrow." ”

Yan Echo nodded.

So, everyone gathered around Yutu and began to study how to capture Qiangli City and how to deal with the two known siege guns.

After studying for half a day and formulating a strategy, the Liang soldiers and horses sent troops to Qiangli City.

Seeing that the Great Liang siege was fierce, the second prince Yuanchen ordered to open the gate of Qiangli City.

As soon as the gates were opened, there was only a roar, and a large number of soldiers who hit the gates with siege timbers were blown to pieces.

Yan echoed in the rear, and Tengdi stood up from the car.

The old protector said: "Sure enough, what a powerful siege artillery." ”

Xie Lin was dumbfounded, "This, such a powerful siege artillery?" Our soldiers can't even get close. ”

Yan Hui ordered, "Yun'an, you take all the secret guards up, no matter what method you use, you must destroy the siege cannon." ”

"Yes." Yun'an should be, and immediately took people to go.

The old protector also waved his hand to one person beside him, "Insist, you also take someone to assist Yun'an." ”

He said yes, and he took people with him.

Su Xing looked to the side, and without his orders, Dye Qing immediately took someone away.

Xie Lin took a look, and also ordered the guards around him, "Quick, you guys also go up." ”

The ordinary soldiers couldn't get close, and in the face of the two siege guns, they hurriedly ran back, but they were still bombarded by the two siege guns that Dawei pushed out with countless people, leaving the bodies of the Liang soldiers that were blown up.

This situation lasted until Yun'an of the East Palace, the Zhiyan of the Protector's Mansion, the dyeing green beside Su Xingze, and the flying feather next to Xie Lin rushed forward with people, and a group of master guards quickly fought with the Great Wei masters who were guarding the siege artillery, and only then did they suspend the attack of the siege artillery on the Liang soldiers.
