The crossed scholar

He's all about the little things! "Ming Wang hurriedly said with a smile on his face, this lady is a heroine, and also capable of writing and martial arts, the current trick is from this lady's hand!

Of course, despite Madam's ingenious plan, the risk that King Ming is facing is quite huge. He has to face the joint attack of the First Prince and Zuo Wang Jialanga, and this time it is a large-scale battle in the true sense. The opponent's strength is stronger than his. More than doubled!It is necessary to fill in King Wen's troops, even if the fighting power is not strong, but there can be more numbers!

……

Murong Feng had already returned to the First Prince's camp at this time, and was accompanying the First Prince to discuss this joint battle with His Highness the Sixth Highness.

Now the eldest prince has completely taken the initiative, being able to call His Highness the Sixth Highness here, in his opinion, it is a chance for His Highness the Sixth Highness.Even if His Highness the Sixth Highness does not send troops, he still has the confidence to destroy King Ming!

So this time, His Highness the Sixth Highness also behaved very respectfully, as if he was overwhelmed by the grand prince's generosity.And this time, nothing about the fourteenth princess was mentioned at all, and she was submissive throughout the night, as if she was completely intimidated by the eldest prince!

But the more this happened, the more Murong Feng felt that something was wrong!Don't look at her being treated badly by Zhu Xiaobao in Luofeng Island and Lingyue Mountain, but once she came back here, she immediately became very thoughtful and wise!In this regard, she has super foresight and judgment.Although the First Prince joined hands with King Zuo and his strength has greatly increased, he will never threaten His Highness the Sixth Highness. His performance seems to be too respectful!

"Haha! Sixth brother, it's not brother Yu boasting. How much territory you can win this time depends on your own strength. Don't feel too little at that time!" The eldest prince still said confidently. Worked as hard as ever.

"Of course, of course, big brother, don't worry, I will bring out all my troops this time, and I will definitely cooperate with you to wipe out all the mobs of King Wen!" His Highness immediately stood up and said loudly, with an extremely attitude Sincere and radical!

"Good! Good! Hahahaha, don't worry, when I ascend the Great Treasure, you will still be King Sheng, and your fiefdom will be much larger than before!" The eldest prince laughed arrogantly.

"Thank you, brother, for your support!" His Highness Six said with a deep salute.

"Hahahaha! Easy to say, easy to say!"

After the Sixth Highness left, Murong Feng was still thinking.This made the eldest prince a little surprised, and then asked: "What? What did you think of?"

"Well, I think His Highness Six seems to be acting too obediently, which is not like his style! Is there any problem here?" Murong Feng frowned and said.

"Haha, what could be the problem? His behavior like this is within my expectations. He is smart, and he will be obedient right away! Otherwise, hum! When I kill King Ming and King Wen, I will deal with him!" At this time, the eldest prince shouted with confidence.

"Well! I hope so, Chitose! If there is nothing else, then I will go down first. The facilities built for King Zuo still need my guidance!" Although Murong Feng was full of doubts, he couldn't think of the key point for a while, Had to offer my farewell.She is really building those novel facilities for King Zuo now.Anyway, it's really going to be a war, basically

It's hard to go shopping, and he can't play a big role as a military adviser!

Just as King Ming said, the first thing he has to face is the most tragic large-scale battle. The troops of King Zuo in the west have set up camp thirty miles away. This time there are actually 60 people, and this is still The first batch of people!

And in the north of King Ming's fiefdom, the First Prince's troops also began to mobilize on a large scale, 200 million troops is definitely the largest scale in recent years!

After hearing the report, King Ming also swallowed nervously, but he had no choice but to fight face to face.Fortunately, King Wen's cooperation was still in place at this time, and 100 million horses and horses had already arrived at the front line!Don't look at the low combat effectiveness of King Wen's men and horses, but the equipment and weapons on his body are not bad. From a distance, they still look a little imposing!

King Ming didn't dare to hide anything anymore, he moved out his old background, 50 Iron Armored Army, and 200 million elite soldiers, and Princess Ming also had 30 female soldiers and [-] of her own soldiers. Direct descendants, female soldiers are also very common in this era!And those catapults, crossbows and various defensive equipment that have been hidden all the time have also been taken out!This is the strength of King Ming's Department.

……

At this time, Zhu Xiaobao was discussing with Duanmu Qi on the side of Lingyue Mountain. He wanted to see such a large-scale battle.But it was strongly opposed by Yu Dan and Tong Wuxin.They were all worried about Zhu Xiaobao's safety.

Especially Yu Dan, who was angry and impatient. She was most concerned about Zhu Xiaobao's safety. In such a large-scale battle, there were no less than a thousand spies and sharp soldiers around. It was quite dangerous to watch the battle!

The sisters Yu Shuang and Yu Xue were just the opposite. They both wanted to see it, but it was hard to show it in front of Yu Dan.

"Hey, hey! I have binoculars, so I'm watching the battle from a distance. What's the danger? Besides, I also want to know more about King Zuo's strength. Do you think she is willing to let it go after suffering such a big loss this time?" ?" Zhu Xiaobao is now sitting in the most important position above the meeting hall, but he doesn't have the demeanor of a king, sitting there dancing and shouting.

"No! I don't agree. You need to understand the battle situation. Let's send more spies and report back in time!" Yu Dan still resolutely objected.

"Yes, Xiaobao, you are also a man with a family, you have to think about Yu Dan...and Wu Yue and the others! You can't be so self-willed like before!" Yu Qianhe also persuaded She said, of course she was speaking from Yu Dan's standpoint!

"I said I'm going, so I must go! At worst, I'll bring more guards, Yushuang and Yuxue, you two will go with me, Jumei, and the old apprentice! Who else can hurt you with this strength? Me?" Zhu Xiaobao has his own safeguards, so he is not worried about safety at all.

"Oh! Yeah, okay, we promise to protect you well!" Yu Shuang and Yu Xue immediately cheered, but Yu Qianhe and Yu Dan immediately glared at each other!

"Old man! Brother-in-law! Why don't you say something!" Zhu Xiaobao looked at Duanmu Qi and asked.

"Okay! I'll go with you! Some situations need to be seen in person!" Duanmu Qi pondered for a while, looked at Yu Hui beside him, and then said in a deep voice...

Chapter 363 The Battle Begins

As soon as Duanmu Qi opened his mouth, everyone fell silent.Duanmu Qi is mature and prudent in his work, and he has no plans to spare, so now everyone respects him very much.

Even those rebellious female warriors are very respectful when they see Duanmu Qi, not to mention that Duanmu Qi is the husband of Yu Hui, the original lord of Lingyue Mountain, so now Duanmu Qi's prestige in Lingyue Mountain is quite high , not inferior to Zhu Xiaobao!

"Mr. Duanmu, you must ensure Xiaobao's safety, and you must also be careful!" Yu Qianhe said after being silent for a while. In fact, she was quite embarrassed when facing Duanmu Qi. Qi's age is a few years older than her!So she always called Duanmu Qi Mr.It's just that this kind of matching between young and old is very normal in this era, and Yu Qianhe is not too entangled!

"Hehe! Don't worry, we are here to see the strength of the First Prince and Zuo Wang, as well as the development of the situation, there will be no danger! Besides, there is a Great Martial Lord beside Xiaobao, who dares to act presumptuously?" Duanmu Qi said with a smile.

But even so, Duanmu Qi still made very careful arrangements for Yu Shuang and Yu Xue to select more than 100 strongest female fighters from their entourage, all of whom had reached the level of martial arts masters female warrior.At the same time, Tong Wuxin and several other Duanmu Shishilang also accompanied him.A group of about two hundred people.Such a battle is enough to eliminate any hidden dangers!Unless there are two Great Martial Lords appearing on the other side at the same time.

After two full days of preparation, the 200 people started to leave.There is no way, Zhu Xiaobao is too particular about the preparation of food and drink, not only to bring enough dry food, but also to ensure the taste and nutrition, even the pots and pans are not left behind, it looks like he is going on a trip!Duanmu Qi was also dumbfounded, this guy is a prince!

Speaking of which, apart from Yushuang and Yuxue, Jumei and the old apprentice are the happiest. For this trip, Zhu Xiaobao has developed a new delicacy --- air-dried chicken!This made the old apprentice very excited, and also made Jumei's big copper sticks full of air-dried chickens. At the beginning, they were not completely dead, and they kept making cooing noises.

But once they set off, their speed is not slow.They are all the most handsome war horses in Lingyue Mountain. They are more than half a meter longer than ordinary horses. The two of Jumei, because Jumei has always been underdogs, and no horse can bear her weight. Even the copper rod weighs more than 400 catties. The average horse really can't bear it. Only this batch of hard-earned horses can bear it. Don't care!

Moreover, this bloody horse recognized Zhu Xiaobao and Jumei. Zhu Xiaobao raised it well, and Jumei subdued it. Jumei has been herding cattle and horses since she was a child, so she tamed These livestock are very knowledgeable. At the beginning, Jumei didn't let Jumei touch the horse's neck, but when Jumei hugged the horse's neck, he just hugged and threw him, and then punched the sweaty horse a few times. Those who are obedient and obedient, will put their heads over to rub against Jumei to show their closeness!It also knows that this giant beauty is too fierce, and if it doesn't follow her, it will definitely be beaten!

Along the way, Duanmu Qi didn't seem very relaxed, he was always distracted, he was thinking about the current situation.

"Hey! I said, brother-in-law! We are not going to fight, what are you doing with such a sad face?" Zhu Xiaobao asked very comfortably sitting on the horse, of course he is very comfortable, behind him are Jumei and him

He rides the same horse, so he still has a natural back, which is soft!The pile on Jumei's chest is not an ordinary stalwart, it is equivalent to containing Zhu Xiaobao in it!

"Well! Who do you think will be the ultimate beneficiary of this battle?" Duanmu Qi looked at Zhu Xiaobao and asked suddenly.

"Is there any need to ask? Of course it is the eldest prince. Although he lost some territory, he can quickly win the fiefdoms of King Ming and King Wen. His territory can be more than doubled in one fell swoop!" Zhu Xiao Bao took it for granted that he didn't understand why Duanmuqi would ask such a question.

"I can't see it! I'm afraid he won't be able to digest such a large territory all at once! Moreover, King Zuo will at most help him lay down the fiefdom of King Ming. If it is impossible to help him invade the interior, the rest will be up to the eldest prince." It's done independently, there are a lot of variables!" Duanmu Qi shook his head and said, he still sees such a big event far away.

In such a small place as Lingyue Mountain, Duanmu Qi really looked down upon him!It was for Zhu Xiaobao's sake that he managed it, but he didn't like such a small place as Lingyue Mountain, at best it was a place to settle down!

"Could it be His Highness the Sixth Highness? Anyway, it can't be the Seventh Princess!" Zhu Xiaobao asked with some doubts.

"It's hard to say now, the reason why I agreed to come and have a look is to understand better, because according to my information, His Highness Six's reaction seems to be a bit abnormal! It's not like his previous character. There must be something strange in it! "Duanmu Qi still shook his head and said.

"What does this have to do with us? It's not about attacking my Lingyue Mountain!" Zhu Xiaobao said with curled lips.

"Hmph! You'll know when you see such a large-scale battle this time!" Duanmu Qi hummed dissatisfied. The place!It is really disappointing!

After walking for a day, at noon the next day, the sent out soldiers had captured several spies and secret sentries of King Zuo and King Ming.This shows that they have entered not far from the battlefield!

And through these spies, they also know the development of the battle situation, and now it is just beginning, the two sides have not yet engaged in real shopping, and are launching tentative attacks!

Mu Chun unfolded the map that she carried with her. In the past two days, she has marked all the mountains, forests, grasslands, and deserts in the places she passed in detail. Now she needs to find a hidden place to observe the fighting situation of the two sides to the maximum extent. !

It was really taken by Mu Chun to a bare rocky mountain. There was no grass growing on it, but it was quite high. Climb up and look down from the heights. Through the telescope, you can see the situation of the two warring parties completely.And the flames and gunpowder smoke on the battlefield in the distance can also be faintly seen with the naked eye!

But this is also a place where mobile sentries and spies often pass by, so Duanmu Qi also sent dozens of groups of spies to ensure that before other spies find out what's going on here, they can be wiped out by their own spies!

Several groups of spies were headed by Duanmu Shishilang!Duanmu Shishilang's covert detection and ambush skills are far above that of ordinary spies!

Duanmu Qi has already seen Zuo Wang's camp through the telescope, although the current number of troops is not very large, only less than 100 million.But Duanmu Qi was still a little surprised, now

The troops of Xijue are also very organized in fighting, not as scattered as before, but neatly arranged, advancing and retreating in an orderly manner, which shows that their tactical literacy has also improved a lot!

Duanmu Qi was amazed by the strength displayed by King Ming, he never thought that King Ming would hide so many weapons and troops, the Iron Armored Army he was proud of was more than double the original.It turns out that King Ming has always been known as the 20 Iron Armored Army, and now it seems that there is quite a big hidden!

……

At the same time, Zuowang Jialanjia was also a little surprised. He didn't expect King Ming to be so powerful. Although the two sides hadn't fought on a large scale, just judging from the number of catapults, they were far more than their own. !Moreover, the number of King Ming's troops is not like the number provided by the First Prince, but much more!

"Withdraw back first, and wait for my second batch of troops to arrive before launching an attack! In addition, ask the eldest prince to bring me all the food that should be delivered, as well as the necessary siege equipment!" Zuo Wang Jialanga withdrew a little depressed After two days of fighting, they have not taken advantage of it at all, and more than 1 casualties have been lost.This is a bit different from what she expected!

The eldest prince was also a little surprised, he didn't expect that the troops of King Ming and King Wen would be so tough, and they didn't intend to back down at all.And the strength shown by the other party also shocked the first prince, he did not expect the other party to have so many catapults and crossbow carts.The eldest prince also lost 2 horses in the past two days.But the offensive made no progress!

"Prince Zuo stopped? Why? She doesn't want to fight anymore?" The eldest prince asked a little angrily.

"No! She is waiting for the second batch of people to arrive. I think she is mainly waiting for the missiles from Thunderbolt Gate!" Murong Feng also rushed back from Ximei County at this time. Now that the construction of those bathrooms and toilets has begun Just let it go!

"What about the sixth brother? Why didn't he do anything?" The eldest prince was most dissatisfied with the sixth highness, it was completely different from what was agreed, there was no movement at all!

"I have already sent someone to ask, and he said that he will not attack until King Zuo really launches an attack!" Murong Feng said in a low voice.

"Bastard! This kid doesn't want any advantage? He's playing tricks with me again at this time?" The eldest prince suddenly shouted angrily.

"I think we should just wait! Zuo Wang's missiles should be very effective!" Murong Feng said slowly shaking his head.

"Okay! Just wait! Let me see what tricks this kid can play?" The eldest prince has no choice, after all, His Royal Highness has his own strength, and he doesn't have to rely on him!

"En! We should also wait a little longer, and hope that King Zuo's missiles will make King Ming and his left hand unable to reach them. Then is the best time for us to attack!" Murong Feng still whispered his suggestion.

"Hmph! Come on, take the fourteenth princess to my tent. I'll ask her to do me some duty first! If you don't cooperate well, I will send him the head of his sister!" The eldest prince shouted a little annoyed. Dao, and then asked someone to bring the fourteenth princess to his room...

Murong Feng stared blankly at the back of the eldest prince going away. Originally, she was indifferent to this, but after returning from Lingyue Mountain, she suddenly found that she became a little sympathetic!Now she doesn't want to see the fourteenth princess being humiliated...

Chapter 364 The Battle Begins

The Seventh Princess is studying the current situation with several important civil servants and generals in the study.Although the war on Island 36 was temporarily suppressed during this period of time, the cooperation between the First Prince and Zuo Wang Jialanga still made her very angry and uneasy.

Once King Wen and King Ming can't hold on, then the possibility of the First Prince taking over is very high.You know, Princess Seven's ambition is not just a mere King Rong, she is also waiting for the opportunity to seize the throne!

"He's betraying the country! Shameless, he actually gave two counties to King Zuo for the sake of the throne? And part of King Ming's fiefdom? Including those ironstone mines in King Ming's fiefdom?" Seventh Princess pointed to the map on the table. Angrily cursed.

"Yes, yes! We have sent a letter to Guangming Khan according to Chitose's wishes, condemning Zuo Wang's behavior, but Guangming Khan is powerless. He is already very ill, and I am afraid he will not last for a few days! Now Xijue King Zuo and King You are the most powerful in the country, and they both intend to compete for the throne!" one of the civil servants under him quickly said in a low voice.

"Oh! It's really troublesome. The matter of Guangming Khan has nothing to do with us, but the matter at King Ming's place has a huge impact!" Seventh Princess sat down again helplessly, even if she wanted to help King Ming, she couldn't help, although She also received a letter from King Ming, asking her to enter Xiyuan City, but that was either helping or sending her to death!And get no benefit!

"Chitose, there is no need to worry. Although the First Prince and His Royal Highness joined forces, we still have more than enough to protect ourselves! Could it be that the First Prince and His Highness won the fiefdoms of King Ming and King Wen and they can live in peace? I think Not necessarily!" At this moment, Wu Shuangcai shook his head and said, after all, he is the most trusted counselor of the Seventh Princess, and Wu Shuangcai has seen it quite thoroughly.

"Well! Well, now we can only wait and see how the war develops! Ji Zhizheng, how is Yuli's place now? I don't have time to ask these days, are they still honest?" The seventh princess was a little reconciled, and then He turned around and asked again.

"Hehe, Yu Li is very loyal now. Not only is she managing Nanyi Island very well, but the surrounding islands have also been intimidated by these female warriors, and they have all settled down! But the personnel of many islands still have to be replaced. , to ensure real peace!" Ji Zhizhen smiled slightly, he was the most casual among these civil and military officials.At this time, she was actually sitting beside the Seventh Princess, while the other officials were standing.

"Well, that's right, Yu Li and the others are still very powerful! You put in more effort to keep her under control!" The Seventh Princess had to admit that Yu Li still had some value!

"Yes! Xiao Ji will definitely do her best!" Ji Zhizheng said triumphantly. He has completely subdued Yu Li now, and she has put them all on the bed. Now he can pick and play with those female warriors casually.So Ji Zhizhen can be said to be proud of the spring breeze now.However, he was still thinking about the Nineteenth Princess in his heart, so he asked again: "I heard that King Ming also sent a letter to the Nineteenth Princess? He even promised her to be King Xiyuan? Do you really think highly of her?"

"Hmph! That's how you look up to Zhu Xiaobao! King Ming sent a letter to Zhu Xiaobao first, Zhu Xiaobao didn't want to go to Xiyuan City, so why should Nineteenth Sister be the king of Xiyuan? Just because of her 10,000+ Centaur? It’s not enough for someone’s teeth!” The seventh princess was very disdainful

hummed.

"Ah! That's true! But don't take it lightly, her strength is constantly increasing!" Ji Zhizhen said with a little worry.

"Well, when the battle on King Ming's side becomes clear, I'll decide how to deal with this restless Nineteenth Sister!" Seventh Princess said a little depressed.

As for the Nineteenth Princess, she was also closely monitoring the situation with King Ming.Just like what the Seventh Princess said, Zhu Xiaobao didn't bother to enter Xiyuan City, so the Nineteenth Princess didn't have the confidence to enter Xiyuan City.In the end, she gave up on the "King of Xiyuan" who had only a false name, and quietly developed her own strength.

Of course, Wu Yue was the most disappointed. She originally thought that she would be able to settle in Xiyuan City again, and she could also help the nineteenth princess realize her wish of becoming a king and land, but she really failed to do so.She had sent a letter to Zhu Xiaobao, complaining that Zhu Xiaobao refused to help Princess Nineteen, but she was warned by Zhu Xiaobao's reply, so Wu Yue was not very happy these days.

Fortunately, Wu Yue doesn't have time to take care of other things now, because she is being carefully trained and instructed by Venerable Binghuo, and her martial arts has greatly improved.And Venerable Binghuo can only do this step, she will not directly intervene in the grand ambition of the nineteenth princess to fight for hegemony!

……

But here at Zhu Xiaobao, I was a bit bored, I didn't expect King Zuo to retreat, when will I have to wait?

"Hehe, what's the rush? There are wars. There are blitzkriegs and tug-of-wars. Some battles can last for months, or even years. The worst thing to avoid in wars is impetuosity!" Duanmu Qi was not in a hurry at all, but Those who write and draw on the map are still analyzing the future situation.

"I just want to see a large-scale fighting scene. I've seen the others before, so I'm not interested!" Zhu Xiaobao said while lying there bored, and then suddenly asked: "I said, brother-in-law, You've been writing and drawing all day long, what's the result of your analysis? Isn't it that King Ming and King Wen were finally destroyed by the First Prince and surrendered with their hands up!"

"Huh?" Duanmu Qi looked at this shapeless little fat man, shook his head helplessly and said, "No! According to my analysis, King Ming will not be destroyed, and the river on his fief is enough for him to hold on. But more than half of the fiefdoms will be lost, as well as most of the iron ore mines! As for King Wen, if the Sixth Highness really cooperates with the First Prince, it will be in jeopardy!"

"Hey! It's useless for you to analyze now. Don't you know when they finish fighting? I'm not the Seventh Princess, I'm just waiting for an opportunity! I'm just sitting on a mountain and watching tigers fight!" Zhu Xiaobao scolded very bluntly.

"Uh, big brother-in-law, it seems that this is the case!" Yu Shuang and Yu Xue who were beside her also nodded in agreement with Zhu Xiaobao's point of view.

"You two, get out of here! I don't know how to do anything!" Duanmu Qi immediately scolded angrily, even though Yu Shuang and Yu Xue's martial arts cultivation base has broken through to the realm of a great martial artist, she still feels very sorry for this elder brother-in-law. In awe, he quickly stuck out his tongue and escaped!

The two sisters have been a little arrogant since they were promoted to great martial arts masters, thinking that the two sisters would be invincible together!Because the two of them were able to defeat Yu Li together when they were first-level martial artists. That was the realm of great martial artists, and they were also the strongest existence under Wu Zun.

So this

Once the two sisters were promoted to great martial arts masters, they felt a little flustered, thinking that they would be invincible in the world.Later, he was given a light lesson by the old apprentice, and only then did he realize that his martial arts were still far behind!

At this moment, Tong Wuxin came back in a hurry. She inquired about the latest news: the second batch of king's troops had arrived, accompanied by [-] crossbow carts, which were improved and specially used for Missiles!

"Okay! I guess there will be a large-scale battle tomorrow!" Duanmuqi said immediately with a boost of energy.

"Haha! Sister Wuxin is good, she brought us very exciting news, come on, I'll treat you to a dry-dried chicken! Let the old man analyze it here!" Zhu Xiaobao immediately jumped up, holding the copper Wuxin's arm said very affectionately.

"Hey! What do you mean? I don't have anything to eat after all my hard work?" Duanmu Qi shouted angrily from behind.

"Hehe, I'll send you two chicken legs later!" Zhu Xiaobao said without turning his head.

"Hey! Hey! Hey! Come here!...Why are you all gone?" Duanmu Qi looked a little annoyed, didn't he, the people around him all followed Zhu Xiaobao!

"Oh? Then I'll go too! Mr. Duanmu, why don't you study it for a while?" Mu Chunyi raised his head at this moment, and after understanding it, he said sorry to Duanmu Qi.

"..."

Although there is not enough time for this air-dried chicken, everyone is full of praise for it. The old apprentice regrets it a bit, it seems that he cooked too little!You see, Jumei alone can eat two of them!Yushuang and Yuxue are not fuel-efficient lamps either!But fortunately, there are other kinds of delicacies, and the northwest wind is blowing now, so the taste will not be blown to the direction of the opponent's battlefield.

"Hey! Brother-in-law, when do you think Zuo Wang will launch an offensive? That's right, a top-quality burning knife!" Zhu Xiaobao was still thinking about Duanmu Qi during the dinner.

"Well, it should be early tomorrow morning, five watch at the earliest!" Duanmu Qi said after thinking about it.

As soon as the words fell, there was a faint flame from a distance, and there was even a faint cry of killing.

Everyone quickly stood up, climbed to the highest point, and observed with binoculars.It turns out that King Zuo's men and horses have already started to launch an offensive, and the first thing to start is the mutual attack between long-range catapults.The catapults launched were all huge boulders wrapped in flammable materials, and the place where they were hit was immediately blazed into the sky, and the lethality should not be underestimated!Moreover, the scale of the catapults this time was huge. Judging from the scene, there were at least [-] catapults.
