Chapter 282

On the city wall of Langya Pass, Xiao Zhuo looked at the camp of King Qi's army below the city with his hands behind his back.The southeast wind lifted his cloak.Fluttering violently up and down behind him.

"My lord, is that a cannon?" Feng Zhang held the hilt of his sword and looked at the slowly moving black dot in the distance.

With his knowledge of cannons, he felt that most of the opponents pushing over were cannons.After counting, there are twelve gates.He knows the power of this thing best. If the other party uses cannons to attack the city, it may be troublesome.

"It should be," Xiao Zhuo replied coldly, "I didn't expect that they even brought tiger squatting cannons in order to attack the city."

Feng Zhang swallowed, and said with some difficulty: "Master..."

Xiao Zhuo's expression remained unchanged.However, he felt pressure all over his body, and felt unsustainable after only two sentences.

If Shen Yuexi was here, he would feel very relaxed.

Shen Yuexi was born with a kind of warmth, which was specially used to neutralize Xiao Zhuo's coldness.As long as she is present, both he and Yang Cong can speak fluently.Once Shen Yuexi was not around, he felt that Xiao Zhuo was like a piece of thousand-year-old ice, and his whole body was cold, not only difficult to get close to, but even speaking became a difficult thing.

Xiao Zhuo seemed to have noticed his difficulty, and turned to look at him: "Can our cannon defeat the opponent?"

Shen Yuexi's heart skipped a beat, Qi Shengjue is really not a simple person, no wonder he can recognize himself, and his observation skills seem to be very strong.Did he come here on purpose to block the gap?

"What?" Xiao Zhuo flicked his cloak in surprise and turned around.

Shen Yuexi suddenly had an idea.She is here with the cannonballs now, what if Big Bear absorbs all the cannonballs.Without shells, the Tiger Crouching Cannon would naturally be unable to attack the city.At least for a while longer.

"Yue... Yue Xi stayed in King Qi's camp," Mrs. Li panted heavily, "Fortunately I... I met someone who called her friend."

Xiao Zhuo rushed to Madam Li and asked, "Auntie, where is Yue Xi?"

"Then move it from the top first," said the previous voice, "be careful, you may fall and smash your head into a big hole."

There were only two words on the box, but she didn't recognize it, it was really...cough.

"Shh, don't talk so much, it's not good for the general to hear," another voice said, "Hurry up and move, don't we have so many people here?"

"In that case, the city is in danger." Xiao Zhuo replied indifferently, turned his head and continued to look at the cannons in King Qi's barracks.

Footsteps sounded chaotically on the steps, and Shen Lan's voice came: "Brother-in-law, Mrs. Li is back."

Shen Yuexi and the two looked up and saw that the topmost box was being dragged down with creaking friction.

Shen Yuexi and Xia Lan looked at each other, both secretly thankful.It's right not to hide in the box.

"Yuexi's friend?" Xiao Zhuo turned to look in the direction of King Qi's camp.

"Our victory or defeat now depends on Yuexi." Xiao Zhuo stretched out his hand and patted the hard and cold city wall in front of him, and said in a low voice, "If the city wall is breached, the enemy can overwhelm us with their strength."

Shen Yuexi and Mrs. Li went to the enemy camp to find King Qi, which sounds quite simple.But since we set out at noon, and now the sun is almost moving to the due west, there is still no response. Obviously something is wrong.

Shen Yuexi carefully sewed up the cut tent with string.In this way, unless the sergeant who is searching pays special attention to this corner, he will not notice the damage here.

An aggrieved voice said: "General, we were going to move the shells, but His Royal Highness said that no one should leave the camp."

Shen Yuexi put her heart back into her stomach, and only then was she in the mood to start looking at the wooden boxes piled high beside her.

……

Feng Zhang was a little worried, and asked: "The mistress has been away for so long and hasn't come back, will something happen?"

The shells are the shells of the Tiger Crouching Cannon?

There are two large characters painted on the top of the box with red paint.She couldn't understand what the words were, so she nudged Xia Lan lightly with her elbow, and pouted at the big characters on the box.

"You put all the cannonballs into the carriage first, and I will naturally ask His Royal Highness for instructions," said the angry voice before, "Really, push it and take a step. If you don't push, you won't know how to move."

Shen Lan and Li Wan supported Mrs. Li and ran all the way to the top of the city.Mrs. Li was getting old, and she was wheezing.

While still in a daze, there were noisy footsteps approaching, it sounded like there must be at least dozens of people.

"What are you guys doing for food, huh? The cannons will be shipped away in the afternoon. What are you doing with the shells! Go and carry the shells to the car for me."

Xiao Zhuo shook his head slightly: "She's very smart and witty, she'll be fine."

Shen Yuexi quickly lowered her head, and drew a few circles on the ground with her fingers, so as to hide the embarrassment in her heart.

"Yuexi said that she would not give up on this city." Xiao Zhuo withdrew her hand, "Even if it's just for her, I can't withdraw my troops. But this is a desperate strategy, if it fails, everything will be lost."

Now she and Xia Lan are hiding behind a pile of boxes behind the big tent.The two of them were covered by the boxes stacked on top of each other. As long as they didn't go out, the sergeants all over the outside would not find the two of them.

"Really?" Feng Zhang touched the back of his head unconsciously.

Another voice sounded: "General Xinwu, we are also following orders. General, please don't be offended...Come here, open that box."

One of the voices said: "A box of this thing is estimated to weigh several hundred catties. It is heavy and heavy. The general is also true. Why doesn't he come and move it himself?"

These boxes were square and square, one box was half her height, they were piled up layer by layer, there were four layers, six or seven piles, forming a semicircle to enclose the two of them inside.I don't know what's in it, it looks very heavy.

The chaotic footsteps left, and the big tent returned to silence.

Xia Lan pressed her mouth to her ear and read the words on the box: "Cannonball."

Shen Yuexi and Xia Lan looked at each other.

The two had a tacit understanding, and neither dared to speak out.After waiting for a while, footsteps could be heard from the tent, and Qi Shengjue's voice could be heard.

The sound of opening the box came from inside the tent.

Feng Zhang asked: "My lord, why don't we withdraw our troops? The food is almost gone, if this continues..."

She was still pondering the feasibility of this move when a man's angry voice came from afar.

Qi Shengjue's voice sounded in front of the two of them again, separated only by a layer of tents: "You also searched the carriage and my suitcase. Is there no one?"

Xia Lan looked at the words on the box, and then at her, with an expression of disbelief at first, and then a questioning look.

"I'm going to reason with King Qi, you're bullying too much." Qi Shengjue's footsteps sounded, and he moved towards the door of the tent.

"General, we dare not disobey the military order of His Royal Highness. You also know that if we violate the military order of His Royal Highness..."

"General, indeed not." The previous voice replied, much weaker.

He remembered that the mistress laughed at herself more than once, saying that she herself was a little fool, of course... compared to Xiao Zhuo.

"You all see clearly, is there a woman hidden in my tent?"

Feng Zhang was searching for something to say in his stomach. Seeing Xiao Zhuo's initiative to speak, he quickly replied: "Now there are only three shells left. It would be great if the mistress is still there. We have tried to have the blacksmith imitate the forging, but we still can't make it." come out."

It's really bad luck.Moving on like this, sooner or later they would find the two women hiding here.

Shen Yuexi quickly took out the dagger, planning to cut open the tent again and get in to avoid it.After the dagger was placed on the tent for comparison, several footsteps sounded in the tent, and when they stopped in the middle of the tent, a voice sounded:
"You pack up General Qi's things, and then start tearing down the tents. When the whole army sets up camp, they will all go to Langya Pass."

Shen Yuexi groaned in her heart.

The enemy has moved a lot, and there is no place to hide if they want to hide.
