"Of course, but now the most important thing is to find out how many soldiers and horses have come to Xichu, so as to arrange the troops."

"Yes, yes." Yan Di Di Di claimed that he was, and said to the imperial guards who were still standing at the bottom, "send someone to know the soldiers of this trip to the Western Chu."

After nearly half an hour, the imperial guards came back, "tell your majesty, five thousand soldiers and horses have come to the West Chu?"

Emperor Yan looked strange and said, "how much?"

"Five thousand?"

After making sure that he had heard right, Emperor Yan put his heart back to the original place and laughed loudly. "Ha ha ha, I thought there were only 5000 people coming here. It's naive for emperor Chu to attack Jicheng with such a small number of people."

The imperial guard looked pale and said, "Your Majesty doesn't know something. Although there are only 5000 people, each of them has a strange weapon in his hand. He is unstoppable."

Emperor Yan disapproved and said, "how brave can you be, one for ten? Jicheng has 30000 soldiers, plus the city wall defense, let alone 5000, 50000, even 100000 can not be captured. Chen Yijing

Hear Yan Emperor call oneself, Chen Yijing even busy way: "minister in."

"I'll send you all the 30000 soldiers in Jicheng immediately. You must guard the gate. You can't let the soldiers of the Western Chu step forward!"

Chen Yijing solemnly ordered, "I will live up to your Majesty's trust."

As he passed by Wang Qian, he said in a cold voice: "it seems that the emperor of Chu did not believe you very much, otherwise he would not send only 5000 soldiers to test the truth."

Wang Qian said, "it seems that General Chen really misunderstood me a lot."

"When the enemy retreats, I'll settle the account with you, and I'll let your majesty know what you really are."

Wang Qian said with a smile, "I'm here to wait for General Chen."

Chen Yijing left with a cold Snort and led 30000 soldiers to guard the city. Normally speaking, 30000 vs. 5000 occupied the right place. There should be no problem. But as time goes on, the news is getting worse and worse.

"Newspaper! Our army suffered heavy casualties and the situation is very unfavorable! "

"Newspaper! A big hole has been broken in the city wall. General Chen has said that muddy water will be used to repair it! "

"Newspaper! General Chen has been injured. Our army has lost more than half of its casualties! "

One bad news after another made it hard for Emperor Yan to sit still, sweating, "how many soldiers have come to Xichu?"

"Five thousand." Before the soldier's voice fell, Emperor Yan shook his head again and again. "How can 5000 soldiers have such great ability? It's impossible."

Zhang Qiling, who had been pondering all along, suddenly said, "you said earlier that the weapons of the Western Chu Dynasty were strange."

When it comes to the weapons of the Western Chu Dynasty, the soldiers have an undisguised fear in their eyes. "They hold black iron rods in their hands, and iron bullets will be shot from the rods. They will be hit by iron bullets, either dead or wounded. In addition, they have several cannons, and the city wall is blasted by cannons."

Yandi scolded: "fool, since the iron bullet is so important, won't you avoid it?"

"The speed of those iron bullets is very fast. When they hear the sound, they have already shot. They are innumerable times faster than bows and arrows. They are like lightning and flint."

"It's impossible. You must be lying." Emperor Yan shook his head and did not believe that there was such a magic weapon in the world.

"How dare a villain cheat your majesty? It's true, and And The soldier hesitated to go on, until Yu Tong urged him, and then whispered, "if you go on like this, I'm afraid you can break the city tonight!"

Emperor Yan was very upset. When he heard this, he was even more angry. "Bold little thief, how dare you bewitch people here? Come on, I'll pull you down and beat you to death!"

The soldier didn't expect that he would be killed with a word of truth. He kowtowed repeatedly, "Your Majesty, spare your life! Spare my life

"Yandi calms his anger. Killing him can't solve the problem. The most urgent thing is to keep Jicheng!"

In the face of Zhang Qiling's words, Yandi said: "how to protect?"

Zhang Qiling went to the soldiers and looked down: "what else do you know about the weapons of the Western Chu?"

The soldier immediately rummaged. When Yandi was about to get impatient, he said, "I remember. They called that weapon muskets, and Although the musket is powerful, it seems that it takes a long time to shoot the second time, so every time they shoot in turn. "

"Muskets..." Zhang Qiling murmured, "let them get it."

As early as two years ago, Gu Yichen thought of using gunpowder to make organ weapons that can be carried around and have great lethality, instead of being as heavy as artillery. However, before he succeeded in his research, he was captured by Xiao Ruo Ao. Now it seems that Xiao Ruo Ao clearly got this kind of weapon, and wantonly made it and used it in the battlefield. It's really troublesome.

In his ear, Wang Qian heard his self talk and asked, "what do you get?"

"Nothing." Zhang Qiling knew that he had a problem, but how could he talk with him so much? He perfunctorily said to Emperor Yan, "it's hard to take care of the overall situation when you sit here. Why don't we go to the city head and have a look?"On hearing that he was going to the city, Emperor Yan shook his head again and again, "no, it's too dangerous there."

"But it's not necessarily safe here. On the contrary, once the Chu army breaks the city, the imperial palace will become the most dangerous place. Please move the Emperor Yan."

"Your Majesty must not." Wang Qian quickly dissuaded him, turned his head and stared at Zhang Qiling, and said, "you have been urging your majesty to move the city wall. What's your intention? Or... " He narrowed his eyes and said in a Yin voice, "all that is outside the city is what you called."

Zhang Qiling said with a smile, "Zhang has seen many people who are crying out to catch a thief. However, like Prime Minister Wang, it's the first time that Zhang has seen someone who can be such a thief. I really admire him."

Wang Qian's face trembled and he said in a cold voice, "do you think you can provoke me and your majesty like this, childish!"

Zhang Qiling didn't say a word to him. He looked up and said, "if the emperor wants to keep Ji City and Yan state, please go to the city wall, or it will be too late."

When Emperor Yan thought of the terrible weapons in Chu's hands, he had no courage. "I don't know how to fight, and I can't do anything when I go."

"Although they can't fight, they can encourage the soldiers to fight to defend the city, and Zhang will try to find out the weakness of the other side for Yandi to keep Jicheng."

"Your Majesty is a man of ten thousand talents. You must not take risks. I believe that General Chen will live up to your Majesty's trust."

Emperor Yan said in an astringent voice: "or Zhang Xiang, please go, I I'll wait for your news here. "

Zhang Qiling secretly shakes his head. Such a person even has a delusion of unifying the Central Plains. It's ridiculous, "OK, Zhang has gone by himself."

Zhang Qiling rode with his soldiers all the way to the city gate of the battle. Before he got to the city gate, he heard the sound of thunder and people's heart was beating wildly.
