Palace scheming: Empress Leng Palace

Chapter 319

"Gunpowder?" Yun Qing's face turned pale, and his palms tightened even more in connection with the firing power of the weapon just now.

She has never seen gunpowder with her own eyes, but only read it from ancient books. This thing is used in alchemy. It is a sulfur fire method that uses sulfur, saltpeter, and saponins to burn together.


But she never thought that someone would actually use this thing in combat and further strengthen its power, making it so terrifying that even a solid city wall could be destroyed.


"Well, it seems that Tianque is doomed this time. The opponent has such an expert to fight, and the fall of Xiongguan is inevitable." Xuanyuan Moyu's phoenix eyes were dark, watching the smoke billowing in front of him, his heart continued to sink .


Although he has been watching the court movement in secret, he doesn't want Tianque to fall into the hands of other countries, and he doesn't want his country to be defeated by others and retreat in a big defeat.

But now, he can only watch the enemy attack our army so arrogantly, but our army has no ability to resist, damn it, how could this happen?

"Impossible!" Yun Qing yelled out of composure, turned around and was about to get on the horse, but was grabbed by Xuanyuan Moyu: "Where are you going?".

"I'm going to help Yi!" Yun Qing didn't know how to help, but she couldn't stand here and watch the city gate be broken, and couldn't just watch Tianque enter the land of eternal doom.


Xiongguan is now the most important place to maintain the stability of Tianque. If Xiongguan is broken, Tianque will really be in danger of being swallowed up by the kingdoms.

No, she must not watch this kind of thing happen.


"Boom! Boom! Boom!" There was another earth-shattering loud noise, Yun Qing felt his legs go limp, and all his strength was taken away by the noise, fortunately Xuanyuan Moyu pulled her hard, and then hugged her tightly In her arms, she comforted: "Qing'er, don't be impulsive, it's useless...".


"No, it won't, it won't!" Yun Qing burst into tears, suddenly she blamed herself very much.

It's all her fault, she shouldn't have come to the border.It was her own arrival that brought ominousness to Yi. Everyone was right. She was indeed an ominous body. Not only was she a pawn used by others since she was a child, but she was also an out-and-out ominous body.

As soon as she came, she made the border unsafe, and made Tianque face the collapse of the country.


"Qing'er, look, look quickly, the enemy army has retreated." A whimpering sound of gold sounded above Xuanyuan Moyu's surprise, and Yun Qing was also startled, a little disbelieving from Xuanyuan Moyu raised his head in his arms.


Sure enough, she saw the enemy army outside the city wall retreating rapidly, and the cheers of our army on the city wall quickly made her open her mouth in shock, the change was not what they expected.


"Let's go, let's go back and have a look." Xuanyuan Moyu quickly picked her up and got on the horse. When Yun Qing was clinging to the lapel of his clothes because of dizziness, he flicked the whip vigorously, and quickly led Yun Qing to gallop away again. go.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

"I'm sorry, empress and lord, the general is discussing the military situation inside, please come in later." When Yun Qing and Xuan Moyu hurried back to the barracks, the guards outside the commander's tent stopped them in good time. He asked the two of them to wait outside with embarrassment.


"Quickly go in and report to the king, and say that the king has important military information that needs to be reported to the general." Xuanyuan Moyu didn't force his way in, but asked the other party to go in and report solemnly, so that the guard could concentrate slightly and act respectfully immediately After a ceremony, he quickly went in and communicated.


From time to time, the man would come out again and salute the two of them: "My lady, my lord, the general invites you!".

"Let's go in." Xuanyuan Moyu took Yun Qing's hand, and under the guard's somewhat dazed gaze, he lifted the curtain and quickly walked in.


Inside, Xuanyuan Yi, Ye Jingyu, Cao Zijian, and dozens of generals and all of the battalions gathered in the tent, watching Xuanyuan Moyu pull Yun Qing in, everyone was slightly taken aback, it was still Yun Qing The first to react was to break free from his hand, but he held it tightly, unable to break free.


Xuanyuan Yi raised his eyebrows lightly, but calmly asked someone to prepare a seat for Yun Qing and Xuanyuan Moyu, and then continued the topic just now, asking: "The enemy army has twice as many troops as our army. , if the opponent attacks the city forcefully, the odds of winning may not be lower than ours. Now that the opponent has failed to blow up the city, I believe that they will soon regroup and prepare for a new round of attacks. In your opinion, how can we completely defeat the enemy army? Make them dare not come to attack again?".


The room was immediately quiet, and everyone looked at the diagram of the two armies confronting each other on the table, and had no good strategy for a while.

Today's Tianque and Fenglai not only have a difference in military strength, but also a military difference.From the opponent's siege methods today, it can be seen that the opponent knows that the strongest part of Xiongguan is not only the dangerous terrain, but also the strong wall that surrounds the pass like a barrel.


As long as they can break through this city gate, breaking through the sky will be just around the corner.And Tianque didn't talk about the main attack, even defending the city right now seemed to be so strenuous, he didn't know how long this city gate could last?

"Now that the enemy is outnumbered, the defense is feasible, but the attack will seriously damage the vitality, which is not conducive to combat. I believe that the enemy army has taken precautions after the last surprise attack. Even if they make another surprise attack, I am afraid that they will not be able to advance again. The results of this battle come out this time." Cao Zijian pointed at the enemy camp on the map with his fan handle, shook his head and said: "Besides, the enemy army may have a master to help in the battle, if our army is not careful, we may be defeated and return. ".


"The military commander's words are reasonable, but if we keep defending the city blindly, the enemy's army will continue to flow, and because we have to disperse our forces at other gates, we will not send reinforcements at all. Wait until the enemy sends more troops. When we come to attack the city, won't our army just wait for death?"


Ye Jingyu was noncommittal, although what Cao Zijian said was not bad, but if he blindly only defends and does not attack, the city gate will still be broken one day.

At that time, wouldn't the thousands of soldiers in the city be at the mercy of others, with no power to fight back?
