Seeing Mei Changsu's anxious look, Zhou You couldn't help saying: "Sovereign, Weishan is not too far away from here, do you think that with the dexterity of the princess, once the Qingli army kills Jiu'an Mountain, she really won't notice?" What’s more, although there are not many troops in Weishan Shouling, they are elite, and they are indeed the nearest rescue army that can be mobilized.”

"While sending someone to notify the princess, I also mobilized some experts in the alliance and new-style firearms for the princess to use on my own initiative. The princess, a veteran in the battlefield, should know how to best use the power in hand to go forward. Don't worry too much about those who come to rescue," Zhou You continued.

After hearing Zhou You's words, Mei Changsu, whose expression was slightly relaxed, saw that Prince Jing was slightly surprised by his reaction, so he quickly calmed down: "That's good! I'm just worried that the princess's subordinates are too If you come to the rescue rashly, not only will you not be able to save the driver, you will not be able to get out of the siege, and I am afraid that you will get yourself into it."

"Sovereign master, don't overestimate the combat power of the Qingli army, and don't underestimate the princess!" Zhou You said with a smile: "What's more, those new firearms alone are enough for the Qingli army to drink when they are caught off guard. It's a pot, maybe it can directly cause chaos in the Qingli army!"

"New firearms? What kind of new firearms are so powerful? When did Mr. Su prepare a batch of new firearms and send them to the capital?" Prince Jing said.

Mei Changsu explained with a calm smile: "At Zhou You's suggestion, I ordered the Jiangzuo League to summon some skilled firearms craftsmen to develop it. If it is used on the battlefield, its power cannot be underestimated. It is enough to greatly enhance the combat power of our Daliang army."

"Oh? Zhou You's proposal?" King Jing looked at Zhou You in surprise when he heard that, and Mei Changsu also said, "Your Highness doesn't know something. Teaching many skills. Skills such as the purification of coarse salt are beneficial to the country and the people, and I have already prepared to dedicate these skills and new firearms to the court after your Highness takes office."

"That's great! If that's the case, Mr. Su, you and Zhou You have done a great job!" King Jing said repeatedly with bright eyes.

"Oh, Your Highness, how to deal with King Yu and the Qingli Army is the most important thing now, let's talk about the rest later!" Meng Zhi who was on the side couldn't help but said repeatedly.

He was really helpless, because whether it was Prince Jing, Mei Changsu, Zhou You, or the others, they were all too calm in the face of King Yu's conspiracy, as if they didn't take it seriously.This hasn't dealt with King Yu and the Qingli Army yet, but let's talk about new firearms first.

And they didn't have to wait too long when news of King Yu's rebellion came, and Emperor Liang hurriedly summoned King Jing to go, and gave him the military talisman he needed to dispatch reinforcements.

After King Jing left, Mei Changsu knew very well that using [-] forbidden troops to resist the Qingli army's [-] troops would have little chance of winning.

He ordered Meng Zhi to lead the elite Forbidden Army to take the initiative to attack, and first severely damaged the vanguard of the Qingli Army, severely hitting the spirit of the Qingli Army.

Knowing that the vanguard was defeated, King Yu ordered to set up camp on the spot. One was to wait for the follow-up troops, and the other was to let the soldiers rushing all the way to recharge their batteries. At the same time, he secretly sent troops into the mountains to encircle the forbidden army.

Mei Changsu easily saw through this little scheming.Thus, the imperial army set up an ambush on the mountainside, and the rain of stones and arrows covered the sky, and the men and horses sent by King Yu to attack were caught off guard, and soon suffered heavy casualties and were defeated.

Emperor Liang brought some princes and ministers to the Hunting Palace. Mei Changsu also asked Meng Zhi to retreat the imperial army, leaving an empty camp for the Qingli army, and planted fire, thunder, hay and other things in the camp. When the Qingli army came to kill them, they set off rockets and burned the camp, detonating fire and mines, causing the Qingli army to suffer heavy losses again.

However, no matter how good the strategy is, the Forbidden Army is unable to fight the main force of the Qingli Army in the wilderness, so they can only retreat into the Hunting Palace and stand firm, fighting with their backs, waiting for reinforcements.

The following is the truly critical and tragic moment. The imperial army has no way out and can only fight to the death!It depends on whether the Qingli army attacked the Hunting Palace first, or whether Prince Jing was able to lead his troops back to aid first.

The Hunting Palace is a small city. Although it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is still not easy for the Imperial Army to defend the city wall despite the deadly attack of the Qingli Army regardless of casualties.

From the beginning of the battle, it quickly entered a tragic state. The arrows of the Qingli Army even crossed the city wall of the Hunting Palace and shot into the palace of the Hunting Palace, causing panic and confusion among the relatives and noble ministers.

The offensive and defensive fighting on the city wall was even more tragic. There were screams and shouts, and people fell from the city wall at all times, seriously injured or even died directly.

This kind of offensive and defensive battle undoubtedly consumes arrows, rolling logs and stones very quickly. Even if Meng Zhi had been prepared for it, he brought more arrows this time, but he couldn't bear the consumption!

The heavy armored soldiers of the Qingli Army came up, and the lethality of the stones and arrows would also be greatly reduced. Facing the constant impact of the Qingli Army's siege vehicles on the city gate, the Imperial Army was suppressed by the Qingli Army's arrows all over the sky and could not go to the city. , Meng Zhi still gritted his teeth and shouted: "Go to the city, burn it with oil!"

However, the bow and arrow suppression of the Qingli army was too powerful. As soon as the forbidden army went up, they were shot like hedgehogs by the arrows, and there was no time to pour oil down.

"Huolei!" Zhou You yelled, and someone sent a basket of black balls with lead wires. It was a special Huolei. Not only was the explosion powerful, but it also contained steel needles, nails, etc., and was even mixed with poison. Once it explodes, the lethality can be imagined.

Scoff.. Someone brought two torches around, picked up a fire mine with both hands and ignited it, threw it out suddenly, and went directly in the direction where the sound of arrows piercing through the air came, and then there was a dull explosion The sound was mixed with exclamation and screams, and the dense arrow rain suddenly became less.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou You threw several fire mines one after another, making the rain of arrows sparse and even stopped. At the same time, there was a burst of screams and chaos outside the city gate, and the sound of banging on the door also stopped.

"What a powerful fire and thunder!" Seeing this, Meng Zhi stepped forward in surprise and said, "Zhou You, the lethality of your fire and thunder is even more terrifying than arrows! However, the weight of fire and thunder is not small, but ordinary soldiers Without your strength, you can throw it so far. But even so, when defending the city or when the two armies are facing each other, the lethality of throwing it out cannot be underestimated. If it is a cavalry battle, a few fire mines may be enough to make the opponent's The cavalry is in disarray."

In fact, there are already firearms such as Huo Lei in the army of this era.Zhou You just put forward some improvement suggestions based on it, which greatly increased the lethality of Huolei.

"Not much to bring, Commander Meng, the Qingli Army will organize a new round of attack soon, save some money," Zhou You quickly reminded.

"En! We have to delay as much as possible, otherwise, with my temper, I really want to rush out and kill one another," Meng Zhi said repeatedly.

As expected, although the Qingli army was very embarrassed by the fire mines brought out by Zhou You, they launched a new round of attack not long after, and the arrows rained down on the Hunting Palace again...

Relying on the absolute superiority in numbers, the rebels continued to attack, the fire and thunder were exhausted, and the gate of the Hunting Palace was finally breached.Meng Zhi, who had been prepared for a long time, led the crowd to fight out, and started a desperate struggle with the rebels on both sides of the city gate, and the battle became more and more bloody and tragic.

"Kill!" Amidst the shouts of killing, Zhou You was totally indifferent to other things, one person at a time slaughtered the rebels in the melee crowd, one sword at a time, chopping melons and vegetables, but the rebels who kept coming up seemed like It's like it can't be killed..
