royal husband

yamen.

Zhou Yunting clasped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, my subordinates have heard that the Qianluo army has launched an attack on Zhuzhou City, and that the eldest prince failed to attack Qianluo last night and suffered an irreversible injury to his foot. Now it is Doctor Shi who is treating the first prince. , but Doctor Shi asserted that the First Prince's feet may not be able to walk in this lifetime."

Lan Mingzhou also replied, "My lord, and..."

After hearing this, Li Jin said meaningfully, "It seems that General Bai is still quite prepared for me."

Although Li Jin had long expected that Bai Yifei would not tell him about the military situation, he did not expect that Bai Yifei would let everyone hide it from Li Jin. Bai Yifei might have already lied to the truth about his memories.

but.

Li Jin didn't blame Bai Yifei, but rather approved of Bai Yifei.

After all, with the lessons learned from Ying Zihui, Zhuzhou City can no longer afford to lose. If he, or Ying Yuan acts impulsively like Ying Zihui, it will be a disaster for Zhuzhou. But, that's why Bai Yifei chose to hide it straightforwardly.

"A Jin, I finally succeeded. The gunpowder you mentioned is finally done." Ying Yuan walked out from the inside suddenly, rushed towards Li Jin, and hugged Li Jin with difficulty concealing his excitement.

"Meet the Seventh Prince."

When Zhou Yunting and Lan Mingzhou first saw Ying Yuan appearing, they saluted immediately.

"Uh……"

Yingyuan didn't expect them to be there, and his back stiffened for a moment.

"A Yuan, take me to have a look." Li Jin patted Ying Yuan's shoulder lightly, signaling to Ying Yuan not to be nervous, and then calmly said to Zhou Yunting, "You guys go and prepare first, the Seventh Prince and I will wait Will come."

"Yes."

Zhou Yunting and Lan Mingzhou nodded yes, and retreated.

Not a moment.

Only Li Jin and Ying Yuan were left in the room.

Li Jin thought that Ying Yuan was nervous because he accidentally said something about leaking gunpowder/powder, so he repeatedly asked Ying Yuan to relax, "Ah Yuan, relax, it doesn't matter, they have already left."

"Ah."

Ying Yuan nodded and let Li Jin go.

Li Jin didn't miss Ying Yuan's dark circles, "A Yuan, you have worked hard all night, go and have a rest, and leave the rest to me."

"No." Ying Yuan shook his head and said, "Aren't you the same as me, Jin, who didn't sleep all night and wanted to make gunpowder as soon as possible. How could I leave you and go to sleep by myself."

Yes, not bad.

Since Li Jin talked about gunpowder, they have been studying in the room all night without sleep. If Zhou Yunting hadn't come to report the matter just now, Li Jin would have done the final adjustment with Ying Yuan, instead of letting Ying Yuan do it by himself.

Fortunately, the emperor pays off.

They finally made the gunpowder that Li Jin mentioned, but in terms of power, further tests are needed.

Li Jin rubbed Yingyuan's hair, and stopped talking about letting Yingyuan go to rest alone, "Ah Yuan, things have changed, we have to bring gunpowder and lead to the city wall."

"what happened?"

Because he was too focused on gunpowder just now, Ying Yuan didn't pay attention to what Zhou Yunting and the others said.

"The 15 troops who moved to Luo are already attacking the city..."

While explaining to Ying Yuan, Li Jin packed up the gunpowder that had just been successfully developed, and walked out quickly with Ying Yuan.

……

Zhuzhou city wall.

"Attack, take Zhuzhou in one fell swoop"

As the order to attack sounded, Qianluo soldiers brought hammers to hit the city gate again and again. At the same time, Qianluo also used bamboo ladders to climb the city wall and catapults to continuously attack the soldiers guarding the city wall .

Faced with Qianluo's endless siege techniques, the soldiers defending the city gritted their teeth and persisted, showing no intention of retreating.

Bai Yifei shouted, "Hold on, there are people behind the city wall, we must guard it."

"Yes, General."

The soldiers defending the city immediately shouted yes in unison.

The sluggish morale gradually began to rise.

Unfortunately……

The gap in their military strength is too great. Gradually, the soldiers who barely guarded the city gate gradually became more difficult. Moreover, seeing their colleagues being killed one after another by Qianluo soldiers in front of him, the quality of their hearts No matter how good a soldier is, he will not remain indifferent.

Sergeant Jin who stood side by side with Bai Yifei said solemnly, "General Bai, Qian Luo clearly wants to consume our combat power. If this continues, the city gate will not be able to defend."

Bai Yifei gritted his teeth and said, "If you can't hold it, you have to hold it. Even if they die, I won't let them enter the city."

Seriously what Jin said, Bai Yifei didn't know it, but in the face of absolute military strength, no amount of calculation is useless, so what we can do now is to defend Zhuzhou with all our strength.

"But……"

"Vice General Yan, you are also an old man next to the prince, you should know what to say and what not to say."

Bai Yifei gave Sergeant Jin a warning look, then picked up his big bow, put three arrows on it, and headed straight for the general of Qianluo Army.

Bai Yifei's strength was great, and his archery skills were among the best under Li Shiyun's command. Such a sudden volley of three arrows immediately shook Qian Luo's army's morale.

However, Batu had already prepared for it. Seeing that the three arrows were heading in his direction, Batu didn't dodge. He directly grabbed a Daxia soldier who had just been caught and let him block the arrows for him.

"Damn Qianluo people."

Fearing that Batu would use the Daxia soldiers as shields again, Bai Yifei immediately changed direction and went to/shoot/kill the Qianluo soldiers who were besieging the city.

However, no matter how good Bai Yifei's archery skills were, he was no match for two fists and four hands. The soldiers defending the city suffered countless deaths and injuries over time.

at the same time.

Li Jin and others also rushed over.

Seeing Li Jin and the others coming, Bai Yifei couldn't hide his anger, "Your Majesty, Seventh Prince, please write and leave quickly, you will only hinder us when you come here."

Li Jin didn't care about Bai Yifei's attitude, cupped his hands and said, "General Bai, I have a way to turn the tide of the battle, I wonder if General Bai would like to give it a try?"

The moment Li Jin said those words, he quickly took out the gun/powder utensils he had prepared.

Perhaps it was made temporarily, whether it is the lead wire or the cloth bag used to wrap the fire/medicine, it seems very simple.

"Sir."

Bai Yifei gritted his teeth to say that he was son of a prince. It is conceivable how angry he is now with Li Jin and the others.

Li Jin looked at Bai Yifei's furious eyes, and didn't flinch at all, "General Bai, I'm not joking with you anymore, I ask General Bai to think about it seriously."

instantly.

Bai Yifei fell silent.

Because he saw the seriousness in Li Jin's eyes.

Should I believe him... No... He has never been in contact with war/war...

It seems like a century has passed.

Bai Yifei said, "It's okay if the general agrees, but if you want the prince to issue a military order immediately, if the prince's method fails, how about paying for it with your life?"

After all, Bai Yifei still didn't want to believe Li Jin, so he said these words directly, making up his mind that he would not agree.

"it is good."

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

Those present who heard Bai Yifei say this, no one expected that Li Jin would choose to agree in the end.

"Li Jin, don't be impulsive."

Yingyuan was the first to stop it.

Li Jin turned to look at Ying Yuan, and resolutely said, "Seventh Prince, I am not impulsive, believe me, we will succeed, Zhuzhou City will definitely be able to defend."

"My son, you are serious. Are you really willing to risk your life for an attempt that you don't know if it will succeed?"

Bai Yifei was also taken aback by Li Jin's answer.

Although Bai Yifei still didn't know what Li Jin brought and what it was for, but he had to face up to the pile of weird things on the ground by agreeing to the military order so readily.

Li Jin said indifferently, "Once a word is spoken, it's hard to follow."

"General Bai, I am also willing to pay with my life."

Yingyuan knew that Li Jin was determined to use gunpowder, so he didn't continue to speak out to stop him, but made a military order like Li Jin.

The shock in Bai Yifei's heart was even greater.

"Seventh prince, do you know what you are talking about?"

Ying Yuan replied word by word, "I know, but I believe that with these things, we will be able to defend Zhuzhou."

A Jin, if you insist on paying with your life, then I will accompany you.

"Seventh Prince, you..."

Ying Yuan interrupted Li Jin's unfinished words, "Li Shizi, we will succeed, right?"

"Correct."

Up to now, Li Jin has seen Ying Yuan's determination, and he didn't say anything to stop it.

Soon.

Li Jin and Ying Yuan swore at the same time, "I, Li Jin (Ying Yuan), hereby issue a military order. If fire/powder cannot repel the Qianluo army, I (I) will apologise with death."

It's too late, it's too soon.

Not long after Li Jin said this, the two of them tacitly started to deal with the gun/powder and the fuse.

In order to make the fire/powder exert its maximum effect and suppress Qian Luo's army in one fell swoop, Li Jin glued the fire/powder together with special substances and made it into a solid circle with a lead wire.

In order to be able to use it immediately, the size of Li Jin's medicine ball is almost the same as the size of the stone in the catapult.

Seeing that he was almost ready, Li Jin stood up, looked at Bai Yifei and said, "General Bai, borrow the catapult."

"it is good."

Bai Yifei didn't stop this time, and even asked the soldiers to help Li Jin and the others.

"What are they doing?" Batu had been paying attention to the people on the wall of Zhuzhou City all the time, so he naturally noticed something unusual, and an indescribable uneasiness arose in his heart.

"Prince, I think they are just dying, so there is no need to pay more attention to it."

The generals who participated in the battle with Batu didn't take this book to heart. After all, based on the current battle situation, they are already winning, and they have nothing to fear at all.

"I hope." Batu still felt uneasy, but his abnormality might affect the morale of the army, so he suppressed it.

the other side.

A group of people wearing Daxia soldier uniforms were watching Li Jin from the dark.

Soon, the leading soldier sternly said, "Listen to me, when Prince Dingbei launches the catapult later, we will attack in groups and we must kill him."

"Yes."
