Chapter 282 Big Move

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

"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 80% of the ones pushed over by the opponent were cannons. After counting, there were a total of twelve. He knew the power of these things best. If the opponent used cannons to attack the city, I'm afraid it would be in trouble.

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

Feng Zhang swallowed and said with some difficulty: "Lord..."

Xiao Zhuo's expression remained unchanged. However, he felt pressure all over his body, and he found it difficult to continue after only saying a few words.

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

Shen Yuexi was born with a kind of warmth, which was specially designed to neutralize Xiao Zhuo's coldness. As long as she was present, both he and Yang Cong could speak fluently. Once Shen Yuexi was gone, he felt like Xiao Zhuo was like A block of thousand-year-old ice, the whole body is filled with cold air. Not only is it difficult to approach, but even speaking has become a difficult task.

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

Xiao Zhuo shook his head slightly: "She is very smart and witty, and she will be fine."

Shen Lan and Li Wan supported Mrs. Li and ran all the way to the top of the city. Mrs. Li was old and was breathing heavily.

Shen Yuexi suddenly had an idea. She was here with the cannonballs now. What if the big bear absorbed all the cannonballs? Without the cannonballs, the Crouching Tiger Cannon would naturally be unable to attack the city. At least it could delay the attack for a while.

"Yue Xi's friend?" Xiao Zhuo turned his head and looked in the direction of King Qi's camp.

Xiao Zhuo rushed to Mrs. Li and asked, "Aunt, where is Yue Xi?"

Shen Yuexi and Xia Lan looked at each other.

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

"I want to go to King Qi to reason with you. You are going too far." Qi Shengjue's footsteps sounded as he moved towards the door of the tent.

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

There was the sound of opening a box from inside the tent.

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

She was still thinking about the feasibility of this move when a man's angry voice came from a distance.

There was a chaotic sound of footsteps on the steps, and Shen Lan's voice came: "Brother-in-law, Mrs. Li is back."

Shen Yuexi and Xia Lan looked at each other, both secretly glad that they didn't hide in the box.

…

"Then let's move it from the top first," the voice from before said, "Be careful, you may fall and smash a big hole in your head."

Now she and Xia Lan were hiding behind a pile of boxes behind the big tent. The boxes stacked up layer by layer covered the two of them. As long as they didn't go out, the sergeants outside would not notice them.

Shen Yuexi and the other two looked up and saw the box on the top floor making a squeaking sound as it was being dragged down.

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

Shen Yuexi carefully used string to sew up the cut tent. In this way, unless the searching sergeant paid special attention to this corner, he would not notice any damage here.

Feng Zhang was a little worried and asked: "My mistress has been gone for so long and she hasn't come back yet. Will something happen?"

There were two big characters painted in red paint on the box. She couldn't understand what the characters were, so she gently touched Xia Lan with her elbow and licked her lips at the big characters on the box.

Shen Yuexi put her heart back in her stomach, and then she had the mood to start looking at the wooden boxes piled high around her.

Shen Yuexi and Mrs. Li went to the enemy camp to find King Qi. It sounded like a simple matter. But since they set off at noon, the sun has almost moved to the west and there is still no response. Obviously something is wrong.

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

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

Xia Lan put her mouth to her ear and read the words on the box: "Cannonballs."

He remembered that his mistress had laughed at herself more than once, saying that she was a little fool, of course... in comparison with Xiao Zhuo.

Another person's voice sounded: "General Xinwu, we are also under orders. General, please don't be offended...someone, please open that box."

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

The shells are from the Crouching Tiger Cannon?

"Shh, don't talk so much, it won't be good for the general to hear you," another voice said, "Move quickly, there are so many people here."

The two of them knew each other well, and neither dared to say anything. After waiting for a moment, footsteps sounded in the tent, and Qi Shengjue's voice came from the tent.

"Yue Xi said that she will not give up this city." Xiao Zhuo retracted his hand, "Even if it is just for her, I cannot withdraw the troops. But this is a desperate strategy. If it fails, everything will be lost."

While I was still dazed, there were noisy footsteps approaching. It sounded like there must be at least dozens of people.

"General, we dare not disobey His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's military orders. You also know that if we disobey His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's military orders..."

Qi Shengjue's voice sounded in front of the two of them again, separated only by a tent: "You also searched the carriage, and you also looked at my box. Is there anyone there?"

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

Shen Yuexi's heart moved. Qi Shengjue is really not a simple person. No wonder he can recognize her and seems to have very strong observation skills. Did he come here on purpose to block the gap?

These boxes were square and square, with one box being half as tall as her. They were piled up in layers, with four or six or seven piles, forming a semicircle to wrap the two of them inside. She didn’t know what was inside. , looks particularly heavy.

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

"What do you do for food, huh? The cannons will be transported away this afternoon. Why do you leave the cannonballs behind? Go and move the cannonballs to the car."

Feng Zhang asked: "Lord, why don't we withdraw our troops? We are almost running out of food. If this continues..."

"In this case, this city is in danger." Xiao Zhuo replied calmly, turning his head and continuing to look at the cannon in King Qi's camp.

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

"Now our victory or defeat all depends on Yue Xi." Xiao Zhuo reached out and patted the hard and cold city wall in front of him, and whispered, "If the city wall is breached, the enemy can overwhelm us with the advantage of their strength."

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

An aggrieved voice said: "General, we were going to move the artillery shells, but His Highness the Crown Prince said that no one is allowed to leave the camp."

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

What a bad time. If they keep moving like this, sooner or later they will find two women hiding here.

Shen Yuexi quickly took out the dagger, intending to cut the tent open again and get in to avoid it. After placing the dagger on the tent and comparing it, several footsteps sounded in the tent, stopped in the middle of the tent, and a voice sounded:

"Pack up General Qi's things, and then start to dismantle the tents. Later, the entire army will break out of camp and head to Langya Pass."

Shen Yuexi cried out in her heart.

The enemy is moving so hard that there is no place to hide.
