Ma'am, your vest fell off again

Chapter 416
above the castle.

The gunfire exploded like a thunderbolt, bringing up a large cloud of red smoke. I don't know if it is the fog after the gunpowder exploded, or the blood fog after the people were blown to pieces.

Li Junhao stood in the front with his hands behind his back expressionlessly. Behind him stood Chen Ziyi and Song Wenzhi. The most trusted Gu Shaoqing was still far away in Beishu, fighting with another group of the prince's army.

"Your Majesty, the people led by the crown prince are attacking too fiercely. We have lost more than a dozen of our cannons. If this continues, the situation may not be good."

Li Junhao looked down calmly, "Has the letter been sent to the other camps?"

"Yes, but those people are too far away from the capital, and it will take at least two days to get back. Whether our city gate can last two days is a question."

The prince didn't know what kind of group of cast iron masters he found, but he actually developed a weapon that could explode the cannon in an instant.

This continuous attack has already caused them heavy losses, and if it continues, the entire army of defending soldiers will be wiped out.

"No matter what, we must not take a step back. If we die, we must die on this tower!" This is the duty of an emperor, and no emperor in Bei Ao has ever been a coward.

Since Song Wenzhi and the others chose to go to this tower, they must not be greedy for life and afraid of death. Looking at the uninterrupted artillery fire below the city, they all thought of Fu Xuanrong in unison.

"I don't know what the empress is doing at the moment, she used to be the most lively."

"I heard that she has been recuperating in the palace recently, probably because of the cold. It's fine if she doesn't come to such a dangerous place."

Song Wenzhi opened his folding fan, just like when he entered the court at the beginning of the year, with a suave smile, "Oh, when I first met the empress, she was still wearing men's clothes, she was so handsome and elegant. Nah."

"If Xuanrong is a man, he must be more promising than us." Gu Shaoqing also echoed.

Chen Ziyi sighed, "You are all thinking of the empress, but I have one regret."

"Hey, this is rare. If you have any regrets, tell me brother." Song Wenzhi approached him with a playful smile.

"I'm ashamed to say that I've admired Shumei for many years, but I didn't have time to express my heart. If I can defeat the prince this time, I will definitely go to your residence to propose marriage with a gift."

It was rare for Song Wenzhi not to sneer at him, "Okay! If I can really go back with my life, I will betroth my precious sister to you."

When life is alive, it is often only at the end that you know what you care about most in your heart and what your biggest regret is.

Since Chen Ziyi still thinks about Shu Mei at this time, it should be really on the tip of his heart. If that is the case, there is nothing he can do to stop him.

"One by one, you don't want to think about how to repel the enemy, and you even talk about the love between your children. When the battle is over, I will throw you all in prison for ten or eight days."

Just when everyone was sighing, Fu Xuanrong's angry voice came from the stairs of the city wall. Li Junhao turned to look at her, his thick eyebrows frowned, "Why are you here?"

Fu Xuanrong stepped forward a few steps, and gave him a hug firmly, "I'm late."

Li Junhao pulled her into his arms helplessly, "It's very dangerous here, you should hurry back to the palace and stay there, and I'll go back and pick you up when the fighting subsides."

"It's okay, I'm not that delicate." She withdrew from Li Junhao's arms with a smile, looking through the layers of fog and chariots below, she accurately found the prince riding on the high horse, "I will fight with the prince After so long, now it’s finally time for a showdown.”

Fu Zipei was puzzled, "Xuan Rong, what are you going to do?"

"Don't do anything, he can develop a weapon to deal with artillery, does it really mean that I have no preparations?"

"You still have a hand?!" Song Wenzhi's eyes widened in disbelief.

The empress is too calm. Now that more than half of the city walls have been blown up, and the city is about to be destroyed, she unexpectedly told everyone that she has a plan at this time.

Fu Xuanrong smiled impressively, "I'm very sorry, I overslept, and I didn't expect the battle here to be so serious."

She raised her head, took out a silver whistle and blew it long.

After the piercing whistle, there were deafening roars from behind the city wall. This movement was louder than the explosion of artillery.

Song Wenzhi covered his ears and shouted loudly: "Madam, what is this thing, such a big noise?"

Fu Xuanrong smiled but said nothing, motioning him to watch for himself.

After half a cup of tea time, three huge kites carrying fire and thunder flew into the sky. They were said to be kites, but in fact they looked like giant ships. They moved slowly and finally landed on top of the prince and the others.

Fu Xuanrong stood in the midst of fireworks. She picked up the bow by her side and shot an arrow feather with flames. The people on the huge ship were ordered to immediately throw down the fire thunder in their hands.

boom--

The moment the fire thunder landed, a huge pit actually appeared on the ground. Needless to say, the gun carriages and soldiers in the pit were all turned into smoke and dust.

Song Wenzhi was dumbfounded by this weapon he had never seen before, "What, what is this?"

Fu Xuanrong smiled, "Fire mine, the outer layer is made of iron sheet, and the inside is filled with gunpowder. The principle is similar to the grenade I developed before, but the power is at least dozens of times greater."

"Then as long as we keep throwing it down, won't we be able to wipe out the prince and the others?"

"It's not as simple as you think. The cost of developing Huolei is extremely high. The people in Yinzong have been working around the clock. Today, only a dozen have been developed. When the votes are over, we can only go up and fight."

"What? A dozen?"

Fu Xuanrong nodded, "Actually, there are about a dozen or so. The main purpose is to blow up all the prince's cannons. Once these heavy weapons are gone, wouldn't it be easy to kill them?"

"That's right, you are still reliable, Xuanrong!"

Huo Lei continued to throw it down. The prince has lived for so many years, and he has never encountered such a terrible thing.

He rode his horse and fled outside in a panic, watching all the artillery carts he brought turned into smoke and dust.

"Your Highness, let's evacuate as soon as possible. They have made it clear that they are well prepared."

"Yes, Your Highness, let's go back to Beishu immediately to meet up with other soldiers, and it won't be too late to attack after recuperating."

Li Chen's snake-like eyes were fixed on the city wall. He looked at the woman in light armor with flying black hair, and almost gritted his teeth.

Fu Xuanrong, even if you beat me back, so what, now that you are poisoned to the bone, even if I lose in the end, I will drag you to hell with me, and let Li Junhao live in regret and despair for the rest of his life. This deal is not a loss !
