1722. Chapter 1722 Decisive battle [1]

The east was getting whiter, and suddenly there was a deafening sound of cannon. Yan Junqing got out of bed, pulled out the dagger under the pillow, and shouted loudly: "What happened outside?"

A soldier ran in in a panic, "Prime Minister, it's not good, Xuanyuan Jing's men have come to sneak attack on our military camp!"

"Prepare for war!"

"King Jiangling and General Hongying are already making arrangements!"

"What was that sound just now?"

"I don't know where Xuanyuan Jing got a cannon. The power is amazing. We have injured many brothers!"

"Let's go to the gate tower!" Yan Junqing hurried towards the gate tower. After taking two steps, he turned back and ordered the little soldier: "Take your majesty to the barracks of His Royal Highness King Chu immediately!"

"Yes!" The little soldier quickly obeyed the order.

Yan Junqing quickly came to the gatehouse and saw Feng Shao and Hong Ying already arriving.

"How's the situation?" he asked urgently.

"Look -" Feng Shao pointed forward and said: "Xuanyuan Jing's army is stationed there. It seems that she does not intend to confront us head-on. Seeing that the cannon in front of her formation is not powerful,

It’s amazing that such a long distance can be within its range. The city gate we defend is almost vulnerable!"

Yan Junqing walked to the east of the gate tower in a few steps, and saw that the pontoon bridge on the moat had been blown open to create a large gap. Only one person could pass, and not even a horse could pass. Dozens of soldiers were repairing it.

"It's useless. Once you fix it, she can explode again! She wants to trap us to death!" Yan Junqing said in a deep voice.

"Damn it!" Feng Shao slammed his hand on the railing, "I'm going to blow up her crappy cannon!"

"No, she blew up the pontoon to prevent us from traveling. If we attack rashly, we will become her target as soon as we go out!" Hong Ying said, "I think we should wait until night and destroy the cannon under the cover of darkness.

!”

"I also think so. If we attack during the day, the casualties will be huge. Such cannons are time-consuming to make and she cannot have a large number of them! Let the soldiers stay alert. As long as she takes a step forward, no one is allowed to fight. The archers are always ready.

Don't let them get even half a step closer to the moat!" Yan Junqing ordered.

"Yes!" Hongying clasped her fists and hurriedly went down to make arrangements.

"If she attacks during the day, can you stop her like this?" Feng Shao disagreed with his approach, "Why don't you let me lead some elite soldiers to rush over and destroy the cannon as quickly as possible? If we really wait until she comes to the city, I'm afraid we will all

Become a prisoner!"

"Why should King Jiangling be anxious? If my guess is correct, Xuanyuan Mirror does not have many cannonballs at all. You must know that such long-range cannonballs cannot be made in a short time. If there are any, she will not

She will wait until now to take it out, so she just wants to scare us. If we really go to blow up the cannon, we will really fall into her plan. She can ambush the archers on both sides. If you go there so blatantly, I'm afraid

They have all become living targets. When the time comes, she will easily lose our strength without even using a single soldier or a single shot!"

Feng Shao said nothing.

Yan Junqing continued: "It's different at night. With the cover of night, the chance of success is much greater."
