[The Pingxi Army is gathering and preparing to attack? ]
[Because the general of the Pingxi Army saw through the Ninth Prince's intentions and knew that the Ninth Prince was stalling for time and waiting for the army to come to his aid? ]
[The elderly, the weak, women and children climbed up the city walls, which also had a certain destabilizing effect on the ordinary soldiers...]
[He knew that if they continued like this, they would really lose their last bit of hope when the reinforcements arrived.]
[Where is the Ninth Prince's brother? Did he notice anything? ]
[Has he been sending secret guards to keep an eye on the movements of the Pingxi Army in the dark? ]
[Will things be easier if we assassinate the general of the Pingxi Army? ]
[Both sides think this way, which is almost impossible? The Pingxi Army general is surrounded by many trusted aides who are always by his side, and there are so many of them? ]
[Even if all ten secret guards were deployed, they might not be able to kill the general of the Pingxi Army under the heavy bow? ]
[Can the heavy bow be destroyed? ]
[The reason why the imperial court did not easily incorporate and disrupt the Pingxi Army for so many years is because they knew that they had sufficient weapons with the support of Prince Cheng? 】
[Even if the other three armies were combined, even if the Pingxi Army could not defeat them, it could still cause serious damage to the other three armies.]
[Both sides will suffer losses, which will make it easier for small neighboring countries to take advantage of the situation? ]
[You mean, even if we destroy the medium and heavy bows and arrows they have on display, they still have a lot in stock? It will only be a waste of our people? ]
Jun Baozhu sighed deeply, with a worried look on her face:
[What should I do with my brother, the Ninth Prince? ]
[We can’t win the fight. We are outnumbered in both weapons and numbers. We can’t run away. It will take several days for the reinforcements to arrive...]
[Swords versus heavy bows, isn't this just waiting for death? ]
A rare look of panic appeared on the queen's face.
Jun Baozhu was carried to the Yangxin Palace, where the emperor, the crown prince and the second prince were already waiting.
Seeing Jun Baozhu's expression, everyone knew that she had something to say, but no one spoke.
After hearing the system's revelations, Jun Baozhu's expression showed a hint of relief.
[The Ninth Prince sent several guards to the county town to receive the people from the ten counties, to train and stop the people, to disguise the arrival of reinforcements, to confuse the Pingxi Army, and to make them think that a large number of reinforcements were about to arrive? ]
【From the east, south, and north? 】
[The Ninth Prince did not panic at all in front of the battlefield, which made the General of the Pingxi Army a little worried? ]
[Knowing that a war was imminent, the county magistrate and his deputy searched every household to make sure no one was left behind, but...]
[Many of the people who had clearly left returned, including doctors, waiters, and ordinary women. They said that they could be of use in taking care of the wounded and providing water and food for the soldiers on the front line...]
[The county magistrate and the county magistrate repeatedly mobilized the people, but the people insisted, so thousands of people stayed? ]
【That’s great! 】
Although it feels dangerous, it is precisely because of such grateful people that the Ninth Prince’s efforts are more worthwhile!
Upon hearing the other piece of news, Jun Baozhu suddenly looked delighted, and everyone in the hall sat up straighter.
【Cannon cart?】
【Twenty?】
[General Meng Songnian of the Southern Pacification Army learned that Prince Cheng and the Western Pacification Army had rebelled, and the Ninth Prince led a team to help...]
[Immediately dispatch five hundred soldiers and transport artillery vehicles to support the Ninth Prince? ]
[For the safety of the south, they need to guard against Xiangshan Kingdom and the South Red Army at the same time. They can't spare more manpower. ]
[Twenty artillery vehicles, if they fall into the hands of the Pingxi Army or other enemies, will be a huge threat to Dafeng...]
[Therefore, the 500 soldiers in charge of the escort all took the initiative to go there, and signed a military order before leaving. If there was any change along the way, would they directly detonate the artillery vehicle to prevent it from falling into the hands of the enemy? ]
[General Meng did this because he saw the difficulties faced by his father and the crown prince, and knew that they would not transfer troops from other armies for the time being...]
[Since they came from the capital, they would certainly not be able to carry heavy weapons. General Meng knew the Pingxi Army's resources better than many people, so he estimated that without powerful weapons, the Ninth Prince would definitely suffer a loss...]
[Was it because you were worried about the news leaking out, so you arranged it directly? 】
Jun Baozhu exclaimed:
【That’s great! 】
Confirm with the system again:
[Is the cannon cart stronger than the heavy bow? 】
After receiving a positive answer from the system, Jun Baozhu's expression finally relaxed.
However, the happiness did not last until dark. Jun Baozhu was drinking milk when she was suddenly frightened and sat up from her wet nurse's arms, refusing to eat no matter what.
Upon seeing this, the Queen brought Jun Baozhu over and let the wet nurse go down first.
Before he opened his mouth, he heard Jun Baozhu's inner voice:
[The war has begun? ]
[Is it partial, or...]
[What? An all-out war?]
[The Pingxi Army used all its strength to attempt to defeat the Ninth Prince and his guards in one fell swoop, cross the surrounding counties, and hold a certain number of civilians hostage so that they can negotiate terms with my father? ]
【Strive for their chance of survival? 】
[Not only that, they also want to be like before, to establish their own territory and continue to be stationed in their original territory, but not be besieged by the imperial court? ]
【What are you thinking about? ! 】
Jun Baozhu angrily rebuked:
[They have rebelled, tried to kill the Ninth Prince three times, and even attempted to attack the palace. Do you still want to let them go? ]
[If this is the case, does everyone have to learn from them in the future? ]
[Either hold the palace hostage, or hold the people hostage? ]
[My father and my brother, the Crown Prince, will never agree to them! ]
After listening to the progress of the system's revelations, Jun Baozhu was worried, but her voice gradually calmed down.
This is already the inevitable, worst-case scenario, and it is impossible to worry about more.
[The Ninth Prince also knows their plan, so boost morale and fight hard! ]
[What? Two thousand people from Baoen Temple came here two days in advance without sleep? ]
Jun Baozhu wanted to sigh, but she held it back, remembering that there were only two thousand people coming to help, although they were very powerful.
[Ninth Prince, how many people are there now? ]
[Many of the imperial guards were killed or wounded. There are less than 7,000 of them now? ]
[Including these two thousand people, it's less than 10,000? ]
【opposite?】
[Excluding the dead, wounded, and those who surrendered, there were still more than 90,000 people? ]
Jun Baozhu's chest rose and fell noticeably, and he realized that he was too happy too early.
Real-time system disclosure:
[The artillery cart was immediately put to use. In addition to the artillery cart, there were also sufficient artillery shells. The soldiers responsible for transporting them were all skilled gunners, saving the Ninth Prince's safety. ]
[Before the enemy rushed over, the artillery vehicles lined up and fired shells at the same time, trying to intimidate the enemy! ]
[Of course, it had a certain effect. The Pingxi Army had never heard that the other side actually had artillery vehicles, and suddenly the formation was disrupted...]
[The general of the Pingxi Army killed several retreating soldiers on the spot to stop the chaos in the team and took the lead in launching a charge! ]
Jun Baozhu's eyes regained their brightness repeatedly.
[Take the lead, charge?! ]
