Imperial County Magistrate

Chapter 246 Is My Woman

The craftsmen of both Zhou and Qi armies were helpless.

Horn frowned: "It seems we have to find a way to figure out what kind of weapon this is."

"Qian Guo killed many of our soldiers with this thing. Can Huo Shuai use the iron pagoda?"

Yan Wenyuan said calmly.

Horn raised his eyebrows. This guy couldn't hold himself back?
"What does Yan Shuai mean?"

He deliberately pretended to be puzzled, but in fact he knew very well that the Qi army's siege soldiers had suffered many casualties these days.

Counting the previous casualties, nearly 10 people had been injured, and although Zhou's damage was not small, it was undoubtedly much better than Qi's.

"Use the iron pagoda to cover our soldiers' transportation of ramming vehicles. As long as we can rush into the city a hundred steps, our army will be able to break through the city gate." Yan Wenyuan did not hide anything and directly expressed his thoughts.

Zhou's Tiefutu heavy cavalry is very powerful and can be called a battlefield meat grinder. The cavalry and the horses are all wrapped in armor made of fine iron.

The sword is indestructible. .

The disadvantage is that it takes too long to prepare for a charge, and its mobility is much worse than that of light cavalry.

Judging from the effectiveness of sieges these days, ordinary shields cannot stop Qian Guo's explosive weapons.

It may be feasible if the iron pagoda is used to clear the way to cover the infantry siege.

But how could Horn agree? There were only [-] people in Tiefutu, and every cavalryman, from man to horse, was carefully selected.

It costs no less than a hundred taels of silver to train a qualified Tiefutu cavalry, and each one is a treasure of the Zhou Kingdom.

If Tiefutu's heavy armor couldn't stop Qian Guo's weird weapon, he would be knocked upside down by the explosion.

How does Horn explain to His Majesty?

Thinking about it, Horn smiled and said: "Commander Yan, don't be anxious. According to me, it doesn't have to be like this at all."

"Oh, so what's Huo Shuai's advice? Is it possible that he has to work like this?"

Yan Wenyuan sneered: "Huo Shuai, don't forget, the empress is still in Tongzhou City at the moment."

If Xiao Linglong hadn't been seriously injured in Tongzhou City, Horn and Yan Wenyuan really wouldn't have wanted to launch such an urgent offensive.

It was precisely because Xiao Linglong was seriously injured that it was difficult to move in a short period of time.

As long as Tongzhou is captured and Xiao Linglong is captured, the Qian Kingdom will be completely defeated.

This was the reason why the two of them attacked day and night, regardless of casualties.

But now the city outside Tongzhou Pass is as impregnable as a bastard shell.

At present, it seems that it will be difficult to break through in a short period of time.

Horn lowered his gaze and thought for a moment, then said softly: "Judging from the current situation, the reason why Ganjun was able to block our attack was entirely due to that weird weapon."

"In my opinion, it is better to send out small groups of troops to attack from all sides every day, and induce the army to consume this weapon with relatively small casualties."

"As long as they don't have enough weapons, it won't be difficult to defeat Ganjun."

Yan Wenyuan: "But the key now is that we don't know how many weapons reserves Ganjun has."

Horn smiled and said: "This is the second point. If we attack during the day, the defenders of Qianjun can use ordinary arrows to deal with us."

"But what about at night?"

Yan Wenyuan clicked his tongue: "When they don't know the number of enemy troops, in order to be sure, they will definitely use that kind of weapon."

Horn smiled slightly: "Yes, and our cavalry is fast. They can feign an attack at night and then retreat after the army counterattacks. Attack four or five times in a night to tire others out."

"If I consume it a few more times, I will not be able to use such a powerful weapon. Is it true that they have inexhaustible supplies for the army?"

Yan Wenyuan laughed: "I'll wait and see."

Horn's words have already indicated that the next siege will be focused on Zhou, which can reduce Qi's consumption.

He was fine with that.

Cursing the old fox secretly, Horn smiled and began to mobilize his troops and let them rest in preparation for the evening attack.

People are dying every day in the scorching battlefield, and at the same time in Tongzhou City.Zhao Kang was holding a bowl of soup and medicine, squatting in front of the hospital bed and personally feeding Xiao Linglong the medicine.

The empress frowned: "Bitter."

"It's hard to drink. I've searched the whole city for just this little bit of honey. Come on, just two sips and it's over."

After feeding a spoonful of the soup, Zhao Kang put the bowl aside and took out a hand towel to wipe the medicine stains on Xiao Linglong's mouth.

The movements were gentle, for fear of hurting Her Majesty the Empress, who was covered in injuries.

Looking at the cautious Zhao Kang, Xiao Linglong's heart was filled with warmth, but she still felt a little unhappy when she thought of something, so she reached out and pulled Zhao Kang's sleeve.

"what happened?"

Zhao Kang asked.

Xiao Linglong pursed her lips: "You and Ye Hongxue."

"Cough cough."

Zhao Kang's eyelids twitched and he felt a little guilty: "Do you know?"

"Huh, I don't ask you how long you plan to keep it secret!" Xiao Linglong pretended to be unhappy.

Zhao Kang smiled awkwardly, this matter indeed needs to be reported to Her Majesty the Empress.

At that moment, he went to Jingguo and told Ye Hongxue about standing on the stage of life and death in order to resist Li Muqing's death for him.

Listening, Xiao Linglong's expression gradually softened, and she couldn't help but say: "She is so kind to you."

Zhao Kang smiled gently, his eyes full of tenderness: "Yes."

Seeing him like this, Xiao Linglong was a little disgusted: "What about me?"

"You? You just hit me."

Zhao Kang said deliberately, Xiao Linglong almost didn't mention it in one breath, and punched him away.

But Zhao Kang held her hand, and Her Majesty the Empress pouted: "So this is how you feel about me. Okay, then I will grant you a marriage to her, and you can go with her in the future."

The woman said she felt aggrieved, and then she heard Zhao Kang laugh and say: "But I just want to be your minister for the rest of my life, my Queen."

Seeing Zhao Kang's sincere eyes, the woman couldn't help but feel a sore nose, and leaned towards Zhao Kang regardless of her physical injuries.

"hug me."

Gently hugging each other, Zhao Kang's heart was filled with love and affection, and he was determined to protect this girl for the rest of his life.

At this moment, Ye Hongxue, who came to discuss matters with him, had just arrived at the door and saw the two embracing each other.

She was stunned for a moment, looking at the scene in front of her with eyes wide open in disbelief.

Zhao Kang and the Empress!
how come!
She cried out in shock, alarming the two people inside.

Zhao Kang turned around and saw Ye Hongxue running away in a hurry, and immediately gave a wry smile.

He patted Xiao Linglong's back gently and put her down.

"I'll go see her."

Her Majesty the Empress hummed obediently, no more grudges in her heart.

Zhao Kang chased Ye Hongxue's voice all the way to the yard. Looking at the chaotic Ye Hongxue, he said helplessly: "Why are you running?"

"You! You and the Empress!" Ye Hongxue spoke incoherently.

Zhao Kang nodded and said calmly: "You read that right, Your Majesty, she is my woman."

Her delicate body trembled, Ye Hongxue looked at Zhao Kang in disbelief, and it took a long time before she asked with difficulty.

"And me! What am I?"

Zhao Kang: "You too, I can't let go of either of you two."
