The war was raging, corpses were everywhere, and the sky was filled with billowing smoke. The ambitious Qi army continuously captured more than 20 cities in the past few days.

The people died in the war, the soldiers died in the war, but the emperor, as the monarch of Qi State, drank and had fun all day long and enjoyed the beauty of the palace.

The Qi army captured several cities in one day, but then the troops from the four provinces rushed in.

In terms of numbers, they seemed to be better than Qi's army, but in terms of equipment, they seemed to be inferior to Qi's army.

Although the Qi army has a machete, they have bows and crossbows, while the Mo army has long swords, spears and arrows.

This gun is not a gun filled with gunpowder, but has bright red velvet tied behind the tip. The gun is very sharp and has a long handle at the back.

It is said that there is a good crossbow in Qi State. This crossbow can be called ten arrows. When necessary, press the button and several long needles will fly out. The weapon is very fierce.

Therefore, the late emperor of the Mo Dynasty once wanted to seize this thing and hand it over to the craftsmen to study and build it. However, no one who was not familiar with this thing could touch it. If he touched it, he would either suffer from various problems or die from being hit by the fine needles shot by this mechanism. .

From then on, everyone wanted to study something, but not many people were willing to risk their lives to do so. Since then, this thing seemed to have become a unique weapon of the Qi State.

In terms of weapons, both armies seem to have their own advantages.

Soon, the armies of several provinces of the Mo Dynasty started fighting with the Qi State.

The commander-in-chief of Qi State and several generals led their soldiers to kill the enemy bravely, fearing no hardships and dangers, and their attack power was very fierce.

War-torn, located in Huguang Province

There was thick smoke billowing inside and outside the city gate of Zhangzhou Prefecture. The two sides were fighting to the death, neither giving the other a chance to survive.



"How is the war going now?"

In the Wind and Rain Pavilion, the young emperor of Mo Dynasty asked Eunuch Li, the eunuch beside him.

Speaking of which, Eunuch Li is also very qualified. Over the years, he has conveyed a lot of news to His Majesty.

"Reporting to your majesty, I heard that the Qi army and our army are fighting fiercely. Now, there is no winner yet."

After listening to the eunuch Li Eunuch's words, the emperor sighed, put down the scroll in his hand, stood up from the dragon chair, and walked around the Wind and Rain Pavilion, which was full of treasured books.

After a while, he started talking to himself:

"I don't know, but now our two ministers are confident of winning this battle. They are all serving the great Mo Dynasty in the court, but I stay in this harem all day and live leisurely. I am ashamed of them. .”

"Your Majesty, don't think too much. Now the two prime ministers in the court are serious about their work and love the people. They will definitely live up to your majesty's trust. Please rest assured, your majesty."

Eunuch Li Eunuch comforted him.

"Yuanhua, are you still serious about your homework these days? I haven't seen him for several days."

The emperor's expressionless face looked at Eunuch Li, the eunuch standing beside him.

"Your Majesty, the prince has been studying hard recently, and the gentlemen praised the prince for his intelligence. Your Majesty, please rest assured."

While Eunuch Li, the eunuch, was still talking about Prince Yuanhua, by chance, the Queen came over with Yuanhua.

"Your Majesty, the Queen and the Prince are here." A guard from Fengyu Pavilion walked into Fengyu Pavilion and reported.

"please."

The emperor looked towards the door of Fengyu Pavilion with a smile on his face, and then he saw the queen, who was beautiful and fragrant in pink, walking in with the slightly fat prince Chen Yuanhua who looked happy.

"I, my concubine, pay my respects to the Emperor."

"My son, I pay my respects to my father."

Hearing the two familiar voices, the emperor walked over with a smile on his face and helped him.

"Get up, everyone."

After the two got up, the emperor looked at the prince Chen Yuanhua beside him with a smile, looked at the dark sky outside the window, and spoke:

"We haven't seen you for a few days, and Yuan Hua has gained a lot of weight." The emperor said with a smile.

After hearing this, the eight-year-old prince Chen Yuanhua smiled slightly, walked up to him, hugged his father, raised his face, and looked at his father with a smile on his face.

"Father, why haven't you visited us recently?" Yuan Hua asked with a questioning look on his face.

The queen took out a bowl of hot porridge from the maids who were holding wooden boards on the side, and placed it on the emperor's desk.

Listening to the prince's words, the emperor smiled slightly: "Father, I have been busy with state affairs recently, and I forgot about it when I was busy."

"Father is talking nonsense. I clearly saw my father staying in the Wind and Rain Pavilion all day long." Prince Chen Yuanhua pouted.

Listening to Yuanhua's words, the queen who was the biological mother said: "Yuanhua, don't be rude."

"No problem." After saying that, the emperor squatted down, looked at the prince Yuanhua in front of him, and said: "You can't see that my father is busy. My father stays here all day long and is busy with state affairs. Eunuch Li He is my father's assistant. He knows all the news, just like a person who has all the knowledge in a book. So, my father knows everything about the court affairs."

Listening to his father's words, Prince Yuanhua looked at the eunuch Eunuch Li with doubts, and asked: "Eunuch Li, are you really a bottomless pit that holds all knowledge?"

Eunuch Li listened to the words of the prince in front of him, smiled slightly, and said gently and kindly: "The old slave is not the slave who holds all the knowledge that your majesty said. The old slave is just a person with limited knowledge."

Seeing that the emperor and Yuan Hua were getting along very harmoniously, the queen began to speak.

"Your Majesty, this is the red bean, barley, and lotus seed porridge that I made specially for you. It has the effects of nourishing the stomach, nourishing the lungs and clearing away heat. Would you like to try it?"

Looking at the queen's sweet smile, it seems that everything in this world is not that important.

"good."

After saying that, the emperor sat on the dragon chair, carefully picked up the spoon and tasted it.

As soon as she tasted it, the Queen couldn't wait to ask: "Your Majesty, how does it taste?"

The emperor nodded, chewing the food in his mouth, and after a moment, he came back: "This red bean, barley, and lotus seed porridge is exactly what I want. I wonder how the queen knows about these effects?"

After hearing this, the queen smiled slightly: "Since I entered this palace, I have tasted all kinds of delicacies from all over the world. Later I met Imperial Physician Lin and learned about it. This red bean, barley, lotus seed porridge, I spent a lot of money on it." Made in an hour."

"The queen is interested. I have been busy with important matters these days and rarely go to see you. If I have time some other time, I will definitely come to see you."

Hearing the emperor's words, the queen was so happy that she smiled even more beautifully, like a flower blooming to its limit.

"So, then... Your Majesty is busy first. Come and see my concubine and Yuan Hua when you have time."

"good."

"Concubine, please retire."

"My son, please retire."

Watching the mother and daughter walk away, the emperor picked up the spoon and continued to eat the red bean, barley, lotus seed porridge.

The next day, the sky was still dark, without a drop of rain or a single snowflake falling. The wind whizzed by and hit the hair of Du Antong, the Grand Governor of the Grand Governor's Mansion.

"Grand Governor."

"How is it? How is the war? Have you repelled the Qi army?" A series of questions were asked to Chang Shi who was walking in front of him.

"Back to the Commander-in-Chief, no. Now the main forces of the four provinces are attacking the occupied cities in an attempt to catch turtles in a jar. There is no news of victory yet." Chang Shi reported truthfully.

Grand Governor Du Antong let out a long sigh and sat on the old wooden chair, his mind and eyes full of hope.

"I hope this battle can push back the Qi State. Now the main forces of the three provinces have been destroyed. If we are defeated again, I, the Moko, will be in danger."

Seeing the appearance of Grand Governor Du Antong, the long history officer of the Grand Governor's mansion didn't know what to say, so he had to walk silently.

However, at this moment, the area around Zhangzhou Mansion was filled with the sounds of war.

"When can we capture this city?!" Shi Angxiong, the commander-in-chief of Guangnan Province, shouted.

"Return to the general! The enemy's firepower is too fierce! The brothers have suffered heavy casualties and it is difficult to capture this city!"

"Even if it is announced, I have to attack it! Take it as soon as possible! Let the people live in peace!"

"yes!"

Located outside Danyun County near Zhangzhou Prefecture, Zhang Biao's team from Qi State's Dihu Camp was stationed.

With these soldiers, the Dihu Camp's team expanded from 100,000 to 200,000. The fighting here is fierce.

Corpses fell outside the city gate one after another, and the person in charge was Shi Angxiong, the commander-in-chief of Guangnan Province.

He hid behind a stone, terrified, with a dirty look on his face, and felt very distressed when he saw the soldiers falling one by one.

"Charge! Don't be afraid! Capture this city! Ladder! Ladder! Hold on to the ladder and go up!"

Commander-in-Chief Shi Angxiong kept shouting.

These soldiers from Guangnan Province were not afraid to hold their spears in their hands, ran up and attacked the tower in front of them.

Several large stones rolled down from time to time, hitting Mo Chao's troops. Outside the solid city gate, these soldiers pushed the door-breaking cart and kept banging away.

The entire city gate is in danger.

"Divide some more brothers! Go and block the city gate! The rest of the brothers will hit you with arrows, crossbows, and stones on top of the city tower!"

With the words of General Zhang Biao of Dihu Camp, these soldiers quickly dispersed into the city gate, and some of them stood on the city tower, facing the troops outside the city.

The Mexican army is in a critical situation, and their numbers are constantly decreasing. However, there seems to be no damage at all during the attack on the tower.

The city gate was very strong after dozens of collisions, and the enemy troops on the tower were still fighting fiercely.

"Brothers! Work harder! Get on the catapult!"

With the words of Shi Angxiong, the commander-in-chief of Guangnan Province, several catapults were pushed in by Mo Chao troops outside the city.

He began to throw stones at the tower.

"pull!"

"put!"

Orderly voices were shouted outside the city tower.

I saw stones hitting the tower one after another.

Not to mention, the effect of this catapult is very good, and the enemy troops on the tower who have to evade in the future will be "chest-broken" with "big rocks".

It's a pity that the stone didn't break. What did break was the soldier who was hit. He fell to the ground, with blood pouring out from the head hit by the stone.

"Come on! Don't be afraid!"

Zhang Biao, the general of Dihu Camp, shouted. As he spoke, he tightened the bow in his hand and fired three arrows at several soldiers outside the city who were running to attack the city.

I saw that Zhang Biao, the general of Dihuying, had good arrow skills and hit three soldiers at once.

The fight was in full swing.
