After the prince enters the play

296 Chapter 296: Too Ugly to Look at

In Zhangping Mansion, Lu Qin was walking around the room anxiously, his face was constantly changing, His Royal Highness asked Shen Yi to take over the guard to do his job, and he didn't seem to see anything unusual about Shen Yi these days, so he probably didn't know What happened at the beginning was right.

But Lu Qin is still a little worried, this Shen Yi can't stay, and find a chance to get rid of him.

Why didn't he notice Shen Yi at the beginning?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help thinking of the letter from the capital. The contents of the letter made his expression even more ugly.

Wealth and wealth are sought in danger, and we have already embarked on this road. There is no way to retreat in this matter, and we can only go to the dark one way.

Thinking of the prince... Lu Qin's expression twisted for a moment, and he looked up at the night outside the window. He couldn't let the prince find out the truth, so he could only find a way to stop it.

He didn't have the guts to kill the prince, but he could kill with a knife.

The Tartars outside the city are the best candidates.

Lu Qin made up his mind, took a deep breath, immediately called his confidant, and whispered a few words, whether it succeeds or not depends on this time.

***
Outside the city, Su Xinyi and his party drove at night without any intention of resting. The half-full moon was hanging on the night sky. The moonlight was hazy, as if covered with a layer of tulle. The surrounding fields were dark, making people feel a little heavy .

He didn't go far, and ran into the sentry sent by Qin Guansheng to deliver the message. Su Xinyi was surprised when he heard his words. He didn't expect the Tatar army to be in the valley dozens of miles away.

She is familiar with that valley, it was there to ambush the enemy's food and grass, but the valley is said to be a valley, but in fact it is a road with hillsides on both sides. The [-] army that attacked the city was not far away.

Su Xinyi couldn't figure out what the enemy was thinking or what schemes they had, so she immediately drove her horse to join Qin Guansheng.

When Qin Guansheng saw Su Xinyi, he immediately came up to meet him. When the two met, Su Xinyi asked directly: "Master Qin, have you figured out how many people are there?"

Qin Guansheng heard the words and said: "It's too dark, and I dare not get too close, but the sentry estimated that there must be tens of thousands of people at least."

Su Xinyi followed Qin Guansheng and walked a few steps forward. She couldn't see too far in the night. She glanced in the direction of the valley, but she couldn't see anything.

They called Huang Kan and Su Qi, and gathered together to discuss strategies.

Su Qi glanced at everyone, thought about it and said: "There are tens of thousands of troops hiding here, and this place is not far from Zhangping Mansion. Judging from this distance, these people should be used for ambush."

Qin Guansheng glanced at Su Qi, the second young master agreed with him, so he nodded in agreement, and then said: "If it is really an ambush, then who is the ambush? It can only be Zhangping Mansion. Therefore, Are these people sure that the defenders of Zhangping Mansion can chase them out?"

Tartar used fifty thousand troops as bait?

Qin Guansheng did not dare to make a statement, so his face was not very good-looking, because the numbers on both sides were not small, and he hesitated for a while whether his thoughts were right or wrong.

They also planned to raid the enemy's lair, but they didn't expect the enemy to think the same way, ambushing tens of thousands of troops, and wanted to kill the defenders of Zhangping Mansion.

Then, such a large formation can only show that the Tatar side must know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here to sit in charge this time.

If it was going towards the crown prince, Qin Guansheng's expression froze slightly, and he looked at the crown prince.

At this time Su Xinyi was also thinking about this matter, and after clearing his mind, his heart was quite heavy.

If this is the case, I am afraid that the traitor in Zhangping Mansion has sent news to the Tatars.

The two thought of going to one place, and when they talked about their respective ideas, they naturally coincided with each other.

Qin Guansheng looked at the Crown Princess, "Then what should we do now? The Crown Princess still wants to find the enemy Wang Ting?"

Su Xinyi shook his head, "Of course I can't go right now."

Huang Kan gritted his teeth and felt a headache, and said, "But what can we do with just a few thousand people?"

Whether it's outside Zhangping Mansion or in this valley, if thousands of them scatter in, it's like grains of sand in the desert, not enough for the enemy to squeeze between their teeth.

"You can't fight recklessly, you can only outwit." Su Xinyi said softly.

"Is there a way for the princess?" Huang Kan asked with bright eyes.

Su Xinyi shook his head, and Huang Kan was a little disappointed.

Su Qi glanced at Huang Kan, "Master Huang, no matter who encounters this situation, it will be a headache. We don't have enough soldiers and horses right now, we just want to make a sneak attack, but with the knives and arrows we have now, do you think we can do it?" it's OK?"

Neither do weapons.

Speaking of this, Su Qi looked at Qin Guansheng, "Master Qin, I heard that your Three Thousand Battalion has always had a good relationship with the Shenji Battalion. I wonder if you borrowed some gunpowder from the Shenji Battalion before leaving Beijing."

Qin Guansheng: ...

"Second young master, do you think this thing is Chinese cabbage? Even if Shenji Ying uses these things himself, they have to submit a booklet in advance, please ask the court to dial it down." Qin Guansheng's mouth twitched, he really wanted it, Shenji Xu Yanshou of the camp was not so generous.

Su Xinyi said: "There is no ready-made one, we can make it ourselves. I just don't know if there is anything in Yulinwei, second brother, take someone back, I will write you a list, and see Commander Xie Can you think of a way to get some together?"

"Crown princess will make it herself?" Qin Guansheng asked in surprise.

Su Xinyi nodded slightly, "I used to make a little of these little things when I went to the mountains, and I used them when I encountered fierce things like wild wolves. Most of the hunters in the countryside know a little bit, just like the firecrackers set off during the New Year. .”

Su Xinyi said it easily, but Qin Guansheng felt that it was not that simple. Firecrackers just make a sound, but explosives can't be made casually. If the ratio is wrong, the enemy may not be blown up, but the Blow yourself up.

Taking advantage of the faint moonlight, Su Xinyi took out a snail from his purse, took out another piece of paper, scanned it around, asked his second brother to recite it, and spread the paper on his back to write on.

Qin Guansheng: ...

Huang Kan: ...

So, what did the princess do with Luo Dai and paper when she went out?
Who would go out to war with such a thing?
Su Xinyi wrote half a sheet before finishing it, rolled it up and handed it to the second brother, "It's dawn again and again, second brother, be careful on the road with people."

Su Qi immediately agreed, "Don't worry."

Su Qi didn't dare to delay, ordered a dozen people to follow him and left immediately.

Huang Kan didn't hold back, looked at the princess and couldn't help asking, "Princess, why do you bring these things with you when you go out?"

Su Xinyi didn't expect Huang Kan to ask such a question, so he replied casually, "A poor family is rich on the road, who knows what will happen on the road, so naturally bring a little if you can, maybe you can use it, you Look, use it now."

Huang Kan didn't know how to answer. It seemed to make sense, but most people really don't think about it.

"Princess, what are your specific plans?" Qin Guansheng asked.

Su Xinyi thought for a while and said: "If my estimate is correct, the army outside Zhangping Mansion will attack the city after dawn, and the enemy army ambushing here will definitely not move, and will wait for the companions who pretend to be defeated to lead out of Zhangping Mansion The army of them will eat them."

Qin Guansheng nodded slightly, "What the princess said makes sense, so what should we do?"

Su Xinyi had no choice but to sigh, "I can only wait until my second brother comes back."

Waiting is the most anxious thing, so Su Xinyi asked everyone to take turns to rest, and now there is no time or opportunity to communicate with the prince, so they can only rely on tacit understanding.

But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would definitely think that she was going to sneak attack on the enemy's royal court, but she never thought that she would nest here.

Su Xinyi forced herself to close her eyes. It is very important for her to maintain her energy now.

The sky gradually brightened, and soon heard the sound of horseshoes, Su Xinyi suddenly opened her eyes, she stood up and stared in the direction of Yulinwei, and in an instant, the second brother and his party appeared in her sight.

Su Xinyi was overjoyed, and immediately rushed to meet him.

Huang Kan and Qin Guansheng also heard the movement at this time, and they got up after them.

Su Qi jumped off the horse, looked at his sister and said with a smile: "Fortunately, it's not disgraceful, but the portion is not much, Commander Xie just made it up."

Su Xinyi was overjoyed, "Enough, enough."

Su Qi took off the burden on his back by himself, and the others also took off the big burden on their backs and put them on the ground.

Su Xinyi opened the things, and Qin Guansheng saw bundles of bamboo arrows, stacks of thick paper, and a large bundle of thread. The shafts of the bamboo arrows were thin and long, and they had no feathers, just like the ones they used before. Rockets are not much different.

In addition, there is actually a small scale for prescriptions. Su Xinyi asked people to separate the papers, stacked three or four sheets on the floor, and she used the scale to weigh out different amounts of saltpeter, charcoal, sulfur, etc. Then mix it all together and put it on the paper.

After Su Xinyi weighed out a portion, she looked at Qin Guansheng and the others and said, "I'll make one for you to see. Let's work together faster. Mix the things on the paper, then wrap the paper into a round strip, and add a lead wire." , it must be tied firmly, otherwise it will be a waste of time to shoot and fall apart halfway."

Su Xinyi made it very quickly, and made one in a short while. It didn't look very elegant, but Qin Guansheng had seen the rocket used by Shenjiying before, and it was somewhat similar to this one.

The rocket they used before is different from this one. The rocket only used grease to coat the cloth bag of the arrow, but this one is more powerful.

Everyone started working one after another. Su Xinyi was mainly in charge of matching. Her movements were much faster. Qin Guansheng recruited some ingenious soldiers to help. When the sun rose, there were already dozens of different shapes on the ground. Rocket.

Too ugly to look at.

Su Xinyi doesn't care about appearance, as long as it works.

More than a hundred rockets were ready when they reached the climax. Su Xinyi randomly checked a few of them. Although they were ugly, they were tied very firmly, and they should not fall apart halfway.

She looked at Qin Guansheng and asked, "You and Shenjiying are neighbors, so you should be able to use this?"

Qin Guansheng nodded solemnly, "Just ignite the fuse and shoot it out."

Su Xinyi nodded, "Ours is crudely made, and the range is not far, at most a few tens of feet. We will have to try it when the time comes."

Qin Guansheng already knew what the princess was going to do at this time, even though he had a calm temper, he also became a little excited at this time.He looked at the princess, and immediately said: "I picked out a dozen good archery skills to prepare."

Su Xinyi nodded, "Master Qin can arrange these things, everyone should hurry up and eat now, if nothing happens, the enemy will attack the city before dark, and wait until nightfall to lure out the defenders of Zhangping Mansion to lay an ambush."

At night, when the line of sight is blocked, it is a good time to ambush.

Su Qi and Huang Kan split up and told everyone to eat and rest quickly.

During the meal, Su Qi looked at his younger sister and then had the opportunity to say: "I told Commander Xie about the matter here, and Commander Xie said that someone would deliver a letter to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Su Xinyi raised her eyebrows, this is good news, I didn't expect this last night, she can't deliver letters to Zhangping Mansion, but Xie Guan can, it's because of her second brother's thoughtfulness.

Qin Guansheng was a cautious person. He went to inspect the camp immediately after eating, for fear of mistakes. The patrolling soldiers did not dare to slack off, and kept a close eye on the movement around them, fearing that they would be discovered.

The whole field was silent, thousands of people nested here without making a sound, even the horses were silent.

As the sun gradually shifted to the west, Qin Guansheng sent sentries to explore in the direction of Zhangping Mansion. If all goes well, the Tatars should start preparing to attack the city at this time.

Su Xinyi was not idle either. He took Su Qi and a dozen horse archers with excellent archery skills that Qin Guansheng had selected before, and whispered to them about the action plan for a while.

Huang Kan didn't care about these things, and had already started gathering his subordinates to stand by at any time. The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and everyone's faces were tense.

Soon, the sentry came back in a hurry, got off his horse and panted, and said, "Crown Princess, Qianhu, the Tatars are attacking the city."

Su Xinyi and Qin Guansheng looked at each other, and Qin Guansheng saw a flame in the princess's eyes.

Su Xinyi immediately said: "Lord Qin, I will take people to explore the road first, and you will follow with the whole team. We will meet outside the valley. There is a forest over there to hide in. Remember to wrap the horse's hooves with cotton cloth."

Qin Guansheng immediately nodded in response, "Crown Princess, please bring more people over."

Su Xinyi shook his head, "No, our purpose is to sneak attack, too many people can easily alarm the enemy."

As Su Xinyi said, he picked up a small stone and drew the simple terrain on the other side of the valley on the ground three or two times, pointing to the depths of the dense forest, "I will take people to hide here." Then he pointed to the valley outside the dense forest The place, "Lord Qin leads people to guard here."

Qin Guansheng couldn't help frowning when he saw it, "It's a bit far away from the Crown Princess, if something happens to me, I'm afraid there will be no time for reinforcements."

Because the distance from the enemy is too close.

Su Xinyi pointed to the route from Zhangping Mansion to the valley again, "The enemy will definitely pretend to be defeated to lure the army of Zhangping Mansion to go here. They can't join the army ambushing in the valley, so we have a slight chance of winning, and it all depends on His Highness."

The greatest use of their thousands of people is to let the chasing army of Zhangping Mansion know that the enemy has an ambush, and they will not be able to decide whether others can eat these people.

　The second watch is delivered, the cuties have been waiting for a long time, so what.There should be an update in the early morning, I will work hard, thank you for your support.
