Chapter 615: The Grain and Grass Fire

"Impossible! Who are you kidding?" General Wang raised his hand and slapped him across the face, saying, "Are you blind? Even if Xijiang only sent 20,000 soldiers, they're evenly matched. The Xijiang soldiers are well-fed, unlike us who only have one full meal out of three a day."

"How is it possible that the first batch of soldiers haven't finished fighting yet?" Although General Wang was eating, drinking and having fun, he knew what he should know and he was not a fool!

When two armies fight and the enemy is equal, the battle will become more brutal.

"General, I'm telling the truth." The guard felt extremely aggrieved. He pointed in the direction of the city wall and said, "Your Highness and General Qin have taken a lot of gunpowder. Those Xijiang soldiers can't even climb the city wall, let alone break down the gate!"

"What?"

General Wang's eyes widened like bells. He put the things on the ground and ran directly towards the tower. As he got closer, the sound of the gunpowder explosion became more obvious. In the night sky, the fire was as bright as daylight!

When they reached the city wall, they saw the soldiers downstairs, fully equipped and ready to go up to the wall to fight at any time. I don't know what method General Qin used to train them, but in just a few days, those lazy soldiers under his command have all become different!

General Wang ran up to the city wall. General Qin and King Ling stood on the city wall. General Qin was giving orders in an orderly manner. The city wall was filled with gunpowder bags, and the smell of sulfur rushed straight into his head.

"Where did so much gunpowder come from?" General Wang stared at the gunpowder, feeling regretful in his heart. If he had known that there was so much gunpowder, why would he hand over the military power?

If we drive away the Xijiang soldiers, wouldn’t that be a free achievement?

"Your Highness, General Qin." General Wang just opened his mouth. This voice had to be shouted out, otherwise, no one could hear it at all.

"General Wang is here?" General Qin saw General Wang and said, "Bomb!"

After General Qin finished giving his orders, he shouted to General Wang, "General Wang, it's dangerous here. General Wang, you should go back to the house and rest."

General Wang's old face was wrinkled and he gritted his teeth and said, "General Qin, you have so much gunpowder, and you actually hid it and didn't tell me!"

If he had known there was so much gunpowder, what would he be afraid of?

When General Wang saw the Xijiang soldiers being blown away and the waves of soldiers attacking the city were like piles of sand and stone bags, his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot!

Isn't this a sure win?

"This is a trump card, how can I tell it?" General Qin smiled, revealing a row of white, neat teeth. "Besides, these were brought by the prince's men. I don't know about it."

General Qin directly pushed the blame onto Prince Ling. General Wang wanted to question him, but at this moment, he couldn't ask a single word.

No matter how helpless Prince Ling was and how little he was valued, he was still very powerful in the battle with Yongzhao. His identity as Prince Ling was clear. General Wang took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart.

"Congratulations, Your Highness, and General Qin. The Xijiang soldiers are about to retreat!" Soon, General Wang had a big smile on his face.

General Qin was amazed at the speed at which he changed his expression. Isn't this expression changing too fast?

…

"How can there be so much gunpowder?" Zhao Xu saw gunpowder bags being thrown down from the city wall one by one, and all the people he sent out to charge were blown away!

At first, Zhao Xu thought that they just wanted to scare him, but now, they have been attacking for half an hour, and it seems that these explosives and muskets are endless!

"Your Highness, let's retreat. The city gate hasn't been broken yet, and one-third of our men have been killed." A general beside Zhao Xu spoke up.

Zhao Xu stared at Prince Ling on the tower. The humiliation of having Prince Ling hold a sword to his neck that day, the fear of being thrown to his death at any moment, made Zhao Xu's eyes seem to be filled with poison. He said, "Kill them! I don't believe they have so much gunpowder!"

…

General Wang looked at the inevitable victory on the city wall and left in anger. He said nicely that he would prepare a celebration banquet for them, but his smile was uglier than crying.

"There are only three rounds of gunpowder left. If the Xijiang soldiers don't retreat, we will have nothing to throw!" Xue Ren managed the gunpowder bags. He made some more improved gunpowder bags, but he couldn't withstand such crazy throwing!

Below the city wall, the Xijiang soldiers were bleeding like a river, but there were too many of them, a full 20,000!

If you don't retreat, you will definitely be caught by the other party.

"The princess said, follow the previous rhythm!" Prince Ling's hoarse voice sounded, "Do as the princess said."

"Yes." Xue Ren responded and immediately continued to prepare.

"We will retreat, we will definitely retreat!" General Qin stared at Zhao Xu under the city wall. Zhao Xu ordered wave after wave of people to attack the city in a desperate manner. If it were a different commander, they would definitely retreat!

But Zhao Xu, this madman, refused to retreat!

"What if they don't retreat? Then we have to find a way!" General Qin stared at Zhao Xu, thinking about what the princess said to him yesterday, to capture Zhao Xu alive!

Is it really possible for him to get such a great achievement?

"What the princess said cannot be wrong."

Ying Qi's eyes and words were full of trust.

"Yes, the princess cannot be wrong!" General Qin thought that Zhao Xu really led his troops to attack Jiashui City, and he felt that the princess really understood people's hearts.

Zhao Xu, the Crown Prince of Xijiang, even calculated General Wang's reaction clearly.

After a cup of tea, the subordinates knelt in front of Zhao Xu and said, "Your Highness, we are only sending our troops to die. Retreat!"

The soldiers were beginning to be unwilling to die in vain!

Under the city wall, the bodies of his companions were piled up like a pyramid, and there was no chance of winning at all.

He lost!

Realizing this possibility, he felt a chill all over his body even though it was June.

"Puff~~"

A mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth.

"Your Highness."

The subordinates were stunned. Even if they retreated, His Highness didn't have to be so angry that he vomited blood, right?

"Good opportunity." General Qin seized the opportunity and led a team of elite troops to reap the rewards!

The subordinates were completely frightened by the fact that His Highness vomited blood. Moreover, no one expected that General Qin would come directly here. They did not check it out in time, and the two armies engaged in battle in an instant!

On one side are the terrified Xijiang soldiers who were bombed!

On the other side were the elite cavalry with high morale.

General Qin rushed towards the second prince Zhao Xu with unstoppable force.

Prince Ling stood on the city wall and saw the flames rising from the area where the Xijiang soldiers were stationed outside the city. He immediately said, "Guo Yang, open the city gates and arrest all these Xijiang soldiers. If they surrender, we will spare their lives!"

"yes."

Guo Yang responded and immediately took people to chase after them!

At the Xijiang military camp, upon hearing that Zhao Xu's 20,000 soldiers hadn't even broken through the city gates and were blown away by Prince Ling, the Xijiang Crown Prince sneered, "Zhao Xu is just stupid. From now on, it seems I won't have to worry about him anymore!"

"Someone, warm up a pot of wine!" The Prince of Xijiang happily drank with Staff Officer Yang. Staff Officer Yang said, "Congratulations, Your Highness! Congratulations, Your Highness!" The future Emperor of Xijiang is settled!

"Oh no! The food supply is on fire!"

Prince Xijiang was halfway through his drink when he heard the news that the grain and grass had caught fire, and he immediately smashed the wine glass. It didn't matter that Zhao Xu was defeated, because those soldiers were disobedient anyway, but the grain and grass were the top priority.
