Under Zhang Wuji's command, countless catapults in Jinyang City also threw flying stones outward.
He even transported the few remaining cannons in the city to the top of the city wall.
Standing high not only allows you to see far, but also to hit far.
Iron balls weighing more than ten pounds can fly hundreds of meters away.
Even though that thing doesn't have much power, it still depends on whether it hits you or not.
A hole bigger than a fist would be directly created on the body of the Yuan soldier hit by the artillery shell.
Zhao Min looked at everything in front of her in some surprise.
After a long time, she smiled and said, "What a good Zhang Wuji! It seems you are really prepared for any eventuality."
"You have put in a lot of effort to deal with me."
Zhao Min said to Wang Baobao beside her: "General Wang, pass the order down. The catapults must throw stones day and night. Even if they cannot open the city wall of Jinyang, the stones must be piled as high as the wall. In this way, it will be more convenient for the soldiers to charge."
…
Jinyang City, on the city wall.
Zhang Wuji said to Yang Xiao, "General Yang, Zhao Min's intention is very clear. Let's use our catapults and those broken cannons to bombard the Yuan army's siege equipment."
"Now is not the time for a decisive battle. Wait another half a year. The situation will definitely change within half a year."
"Even if the situation hasn't changed, Zhao Min has an army of 500,000 on an expedition, and the military supplies and food will be astronomical. The Yuan court is already on the decline, and she can't hold on for too long."
…
On the day when Zhang Wuji and Zhao Min started fighting, there were almost no casualties, as they each used their own tactics.
But what made Zhang Wuji a little worried was that in just one day, the stones outside Jinyang City piled up to half a meter high.
If this continues, Zhao Min's army will be able to take advantage of the situation and attack in a few days.
At night, Yang Xiao and other generals came to Zhang Wuji.
"Your Majesty, you are the emperor of my Ming Dynasty. Now is not the time for you to lead the troops."
"You can go back home and rest first. Leave the matters here to the generals."
After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Wuji nodded and said, "Okay, thank you generals for your help."
"But generals, please remember that this battle is of great importance. It is related to whether we can become the master of China in the future."
"Right now, we have to stay calm and don't panic. The night sentries must be replaced every hour to prevent the soldiers from getting exhausted and giving Zhao Min an opportunity to take advantage of us."
Generals such as Yang Xiao hurriedly said, "We will follow your Majesty's orders."
…
On the way back home, Zhou Zhiruo said to him, "Zhang Wuji, you haven't smiled for a whole day. You are the emperor, you should be broad-minded and not always frown."
Zhang Wuji glanced at Zhou Zhiruo and said, "Zhiruo, I never thought that at this point, the person who is most open-minded would be you."
Yu Fei on the side said: "Sister Zhou is open-minded because she has already got what she wanted, and that thing is you."
"And you still look a little sad, sir, because you haven't completely gotten what you wanted."
"Young Master has the world in his heart and deserves a complete kingdom and all kinds of beauties. But now, he has only got half of what he wanted."
Zhang Wuji quickly said to Yu Fei, "Miss Yu, please don't talk nonsense. What kind of beauties are there? Am I as lustful as you say?"
Yu Fei smiled and said, "Sir, this has nothing to do with whether you are a pervert or not. Beautiful women and powerful countries are the standard configuration for successful men like you."
"You are the emperor now. You should have three palaces and six courtyards, just like other emperors have."
After saying this, Yu Fei looked at Zhou Zhiruo and said, "Sister Zhou, tell me, was what I said just now correct?"
Zhou Zhiruo sighed helplessly: "Alas..., you are right, what other emperors have, Zhang Wuji must also have."
"Otherwise, where is the national prestige of our Ming Dynasty!"
Yu Fei laughed: "Sister Zhou, tell me, if the young master finds another woman in the future, will you be jealous?"
"Yes," Zhou Zhiruo answered without hesitation, "As a woman, it is normal to be jealous."
"After our man unifies the world, it's not impossible to have a few more women. However, if they are just useless vases, they won't be able to pass my test."
"At the very least, it should be like you and me."
…
After returning home, Zhou Zhiruo rarely cooked a few side dishes herself.
She even took out a small jar of good wine from the kitchen.
Yu Fei said excitedly: "This is the first time I've eaten something cooked by Sister Zhou herself."
"I just don't know if your craftsmanship will be as beautiful as you are?"
Zhou Zhiruo smiled and said, "Don't worry, sister. I was born in Emei and have been lonely since childhood. When I was in Emei, I suffered a lot of bullying."
"When I was in Emei, I cooked for several years. My cooking skills are many times better than those of ordinary chefs."
Zhang Wuji also quickly agreed: "Everything Zhiruo makes is a delicacy. Being able to trick you into my hand is enough for my life."
Zhou Zhiruo smiled slightly: "You are such a smooth talker, and even eating can't stop your mouth."
Yu Fei said to Zhou Zhiruo, "Sister Zhou, you don't know how much I envy you. Only you can control the young master so well. As for the rest of us sisters, none of us have your ability."
"However, there is a question that has been bothering me for a long time. If I ask you today, I wonder if you would be willing to tell me the truth."
Zhou Zhiruo smiled and said, "I, Zhou Zhiruo, have always been open and honest in doing things. If you have anything to say, just ask."
Yu Fei said with a wicked smile: "Sister, actually, I have heard a lot of stories about you."
"The most outrageous incident was when the six major sects besieged Guangmingding."
"At that time, the young master was not yet the emperor, not even the leader of the Ming Cult."
"But you announced in public that you had done that with the young master in the haystack. I know that with your personality, it is possible that you would give yourself to the young master in the haystack, but what I want to know is why you said that in the first place?"
Zhou Zhiruo sighed helplessly: "Damn it, I really don't want to fight with you today, but why do you always look for a fight, you little girl?"
Yu Fei grabbed Zhou Zhiruo's arm and said, "Sister Zhou, please satisfy my curiosity. If you tell me the truth, I will accept the punishment."
Zhou Zhiruo said: "Good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels a thousand miles. In my life, I have only said one sentence that I shouldn't have said, and as a result, it became known to the whole world."
"Your senior sister made fun of me about this, you made fun of me about this, and even Zhao Min made fun of me about this."
Yu Fei still insisted, "Sister Zhou, just tell me."
"My sister has been with you through thick and thin. Can't you even satisfy my curiosity?"
