Zhou You and Yan Xun were talking, but Yan Hongxiao came over suddenly, and said to Yan Xun with a smile on his face: "Third brother, come, I have something to tell you..."

"Third brother, after my mother came back from Chang'an, she said that you had a sweetheart. Could it be this girl Chu Qiao? Tell my sister, how did you know each other? How have you been in Chang'an these years? How did you escape from Chang'an?" Seeing that Yan Hongxiao pulled Yan Xun aside to talk, Zhou You couldn't help shaking his head and smiling.

Sure enough, women are always unavoidable to gossip, especially for their relatives!However, although Chu Qiao and Yan Xun lived and died together, the friendship with Yan Xun may be more of buddies and friends, at most it is just Yan Xun's unrequited love, I am afraid that the final result will make Yan Hongxiao and Bai Sheng Mrs. disappointed.

I just don't know, with his interference, what is the relationship between Chu Qiao and Yu Wenyue?Is there any chance for them to get together?

A few days later, when Chu Qiao's body recovered more than half, Yan Xun finally brought her, Zhong Yu and others back to Hongchuan City.Knowing that Yan Xun came back safely, Yan Shicheng and Mrs. Bai Sheng have already sent people over to urge him several times.

After Yan Xun and the others left Beishuo City, Zhou You and Yan Ting finally got the news of the transfer of the Western Wei army.This time, the emperor of the Western Wei Dynasty dispatched a full army of 30 million troops. With the third prince Yuan Qi as the Marshal of Yan and Wei Shuye as the General of Yan, they quickly marched to Meilin Pass, the fortress on the northwestern border of the Great Wei Dynasty.

The marching speed of the Wei army was very fast, and they hardly stopped at Meilin Pass. They marched quickly, and the soldiers quickly approached Beishuo City. The war between the Western Wei Dynasty and Yanbei was imminent.

Three days later, on the top of Beishuo City, Zhou You and Yan Ting stood side by side, looking at the undulating Wei army camp in the distance, Yan Ting frowned with worry: "This Yuan Qi can't resist not attacking immediately!" , Seeing how he set up the camp, he is quite organized. It seems that this battle is indeed difficult to fight!"

"In terms of the ability to lead the army, the third prince Yuan Qi is still not as good as the seventh prince Yuan Che. If Zhao Dongting's tens of thousands of troops were not wiped out at the Beishuo city before, he would not be so cautious," Zhou You shook his head and smiled : "That Wei Shuye, among the children of the powerful family, is quite capable. What a pity! He only knows how to be passive. We went out of the city to attack them when they hadn't heard of them. Look at him leading the cavalry around the camp, and he was so careful. Do you want us to sneak attack, or not?"

Yan Ting was a little speechless. Did Zhou You praise Wei Shuye?Or mock him?However, Wei Shuye has never experienced any battle formation, and it is true that he lacks experience and is still a little tender.

"The decisive battle between the Western Wei Dynasty and Yanbei is very important. It is not only related to the fate of Yanbei, but also cannot be lost to the Western Wei Dynasty." Zhou You then shook his head and said, "However, the emperor of the Western Wei Dynasty is still useless. His prince and generals came to lead the army, and they are still on guard. Is he looking down on Yanbei? Or is he too confident in the fighting power of the Wei army, thinking that Yanbei can be easily swept away?"

"Perhaps, the emperor still has a second hand! Yuan Qi and Wei Shuye are just thrown out by him to confuse us," Yan Ting said tentatively.

Zhou You shook his head with a dumbfounded smile: "First of all, if our emperor had such a wise plan, he would not choose to deal with Lord Hou in that way. If he is really smart enough, he can use it in a dignified manner. Master, hit the elite troops to crush Yanbei, why bother to take the risk? However, we still need to be careful. Don’t forget that the Seventh Prince Yuan Che and Yu Wenyue of the Western Wei Dynasty have not arrived! They are the real troublemakers. entangled opponent."

"We are fighting Yuan Qi here like a raging fire, and we both lose. If Yuan Che and Yu Wenyue take advantage of it in the end, it would be really ridiculous!" Zhou You continued.

Yan Ting nodded slightly when he heard this, and then said: "Then how are we going to fight the first battle? Although the people in Beishuo City have all withdrawn and there are tens of thousands of people in the city, it can be called a military city, but if we fight recklessly Not to mention the destruction of the entire city, there will certainly be a lot of casualties."

"The destruction of Beishuo City is certain, and casualties are inevitable," Zhou You said noncommittally, "Wait! Wait until the Wei army comes to attack the city in a big way. At that time, let them taste the power of my Yanbei firearms. This time, I have prepared a lot of good things for them!"

"Using firearms from the beginning? Although there are a lot of firearms stored in the city, they can't withstand the consumption of a long battle!" Yan Ting frowned.

Zhou You said: "How long do you think this battle can last? Don't you want to use the firearms after Wei Jun's trebuchets and other heavy weapons wreak havoc on our Beishuo City and cause a lot of casualties?"

"This..." Yan Ting, who was stunned when he heard the words, then said with bright eyes: "You mean, when the Wei army attacks the city, first use firearms to destroy the Wei army's heavy weapons such as trebuchets and siege vehicles. And equipment, come to a tiger's mouth to pull teeth?"

Zhou You nodded and smiled: "That's right! Hurry up and prepare! As expected, the Wei army will rest up for the night today, and they will definitely come to attack the city tomorrow."

In the early morning of the next day, the Wei army really launched a siege. Tens of thousands of Wei troops besieged the city on all sides. The momentum was huge, but the main siege equipment was still concentrated outside the south gate of Beishuo City.

"I really don't know whether Yuan Qi and Wei Shuye are smart or stupid," Zhou You shook his head and laughed when he saw Wei Jun's attacking formation on the top of the city, "It's clear that we are going to attack the southern city, instead of concentrating our forces, we are going to divide our troops to attack from all sides. , is this fooling ghosts? Or trying to scare people?"

"The imaginary is the real, and the real is the imaginary. This His Highness the third prince has played the way of the false and the real." Yan Ting also smiled and said.

While the two of them were talking, after the formation of the Wei army, following the order of the third prince Yuan Qi, all arrows from the Wei army were fired at once, and the rain of arrows shot towards Beishuo City.

"Raise the shield!" Yan Ting yelled, and the Yanbei sergeants on the top of the city also raised their shields one after another, resisting this wave of arrow rain, but a large number of buildings in the city were still pierced into pieces under the arrow rain. Hedgehog-like.

Fortunately, it wasn't a rocket, otherwise, just such a wave of arrows would be enough to set fires everywhere in Beishuo City, and it would also be enough to make the Yanbei soldiers in the city panic.

But then, Wei Jun's trebuchets were launched, and jars filled with kerosene were thrown into the city one after another, and the matchlocks were also lit.

"Catapults! Fire and thunder bombs! The target is where Wei Jun's trebuchets are located," Zhou You hurriedly sent an order, and then the Yanbei catapults that were erected on the city and even in the city also began to show their power, one by one filled with gunpowder. , The fire and mine bombs that were ignited by the matchrope roared and flew towards the outside of the city..

Boom.. Boom.. Explosions sounded one after another, like an artillery battle. One by one, the fire mines exploded, and the trebuchets of the Wei army were destroyed. Even if the fire mines that did not hit the catapults fell on the army The lethality caused by it also made Wei Jun terrified.

After a round of fire and thunder bombs, more than half of the trebuchets of the Wei army had been lost. The Wei army who had not yet begun to attack the city was already in some commotion. The explosion sound was more intense..

"What? How did this happen? What is this? How could Yanbei's trebuchet be so powerful?" Yuan Qi was completely shocked, and even Wei Shuye beside him was stunned. It is not inferior to real artillery.
