Zhou You and Yan Xun were talking when they saw Yan Hongxiao suddenly walking over and saying to Yan Xun with a smile on her face: "Third brother, come, I have something to say to you..."

"Third brother, when my mother came back from Chang'an, she said that you had a sweetheart. Could it be this girl Chu Qiao? Tell me, sister, how did you meet? How have you been in Chang'an these years? And you two

How did you escape from Chang'an?" Seeing Yan Hongxiao pull Yan Xun aside to talk, Zhou You couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

Sure enough, women are always prone to gossip, especially towards their relatives! However, although Chu Qiao and Yan Xun have shared life and death, their friendship with Yan Xun is probably more like that of buddies and friends. At most, it is just a friendship.

Yan Xun's unrequited love is nothing more than Yan Xun's unrequited love. I'm afraid the final result will disappoint Yan Hongxiao and Mrs. Bai Sheng.

I just don’t know, with his interference, what will happen to the relationship between Chu Qiao and Yu Wenyue? Will they still have a chance to get together?

A few days later, after Chu Qiao's body had recovered more than half, Yan Xun finally took her, Zhong Yu and others back to Hongchuan City. Knowing that Yan Xun was back safely, Yan Shicheng and Mrs. Bai Sheng had already sent

I've had people come here to urge me several times.

After Yan Xun and the others left Beishuo City, Zhou You and Yan Ting finally received news of the mobilization of the Western Wei army. This time, the Emperor of the Western Wei Dynasty dispatched a total of 200,000 to 300,000 troops, with the third prince Yuan Qi as the general marshal against Yan.

, Wei Shuye, in order to defeat the general Yan, quickly drove to Meilin Pass, the fortress on the northwest border of the Wei Dynasty.

The Wei army marched very fast, barely stopping at Meilin Pass. They marched quickly, and the front quickly approached Beishuo City. The war between the Western Wei and Yanbei was about to break out.

Three days later, on the top of Beishuo City, Zhou You and Yan Ting stood side by side. Looking at the rolling Wei army camp in the distance, Yan Ting frowned with worry: "How could Yuan Qi be able to hold back and not attack immediately?"

, judging from the way they set up camp, they are quite organized. It seems that this battle is indeed difficult to fight!"

"In terms of the ability to lead troops, the third prince Yuan Qi is still not as good as the seventh prince Yuan Che. If Zhao Dongting's tens of thousands of troops had not been destroyed under Beishuo City, he would not be so cautious," Zhou You shook his head and smiled.

: "That Wei Shuye is considered to be very capable among the disciples of the clan. What a pity! He only knows how to passively guard against us sneaking out of the city to attack them while they are still unknown. You see him leading the cavalry around the camp, and he is so rigorously guarded.

Do you want us to make a sneak attack, or do you not want us to?"

Yan Ting was speechless. Was Zhou You's words praising Wei Shuye? Or mocking him? However, Wei Shuye had never experienced any battles, so he was indeed lacking in experience and was still a bit green.

"This decisive battle between the Western Wei Dynasty and Yanbei is very important. It is not only related to the fate of Yanbei, but also the Western Wei Dynasty cannot lose." Zhou You then shook his head and said: "However, the Emperor of the Western Wei Dynasty still failed to use the best

The princes and generals came to lead the army and were still on guard. Does this mean he looks down on me, Yanbei? Or is he too confident in the power of the Wei army and thinks that I, Yanbei, can easily sweep through and pacify Ding?"

"Perhaps the emperor has a back-up plan! Yuan Qi and Wei Shuye were just thrown out by him to confuse us," Yan Ting said tentatively with a raised eyebrow.

But Zhou You shook his head with a dumb smile: "First of all, if our Emperor was really so wise, he would not choose to deal with the Marquis in that way. If he was really smart enough, he could have used it in a dignified way.

Division, hit the elite troops to crush Yanbei, why take risks with tactics? However, we still need to be careful and vigilant. Don’t forget that the seventh prince of the Western Wei Dynasty, Yuan Che, and Yu Wenyue have not arrived yet! They are the real difficulties

A tough opponent."

"We are fighting fiercely with Yuan Qi here, both sides are hurting, and it would be really ridiculous if Yuan Che and Yu Wenyue took advantage in the end!" Zhou You continued.

Yan Ting nodded slightly when he heard this, and then said: "Then how are we going to fight the first battle? Although the people in Beishuo City have evacuated, and there are tens of thousands of people in the city, it can be said to be a military city, but if we fight head-on

, not to mention the entire city was destroyed, there will definitely be many casualties."

"The destruction of Beishuo City is certain, and casualties are inevitable," Zhou You said noncommittally, "Wait! Wait for the Wei army to come in large numbers to attack the city. When the time comes, let them taste the power of my Yanbei firearms. This time,

I have prepared a lot of good things for them!"

"Using firearms from the beginning? Although there are a lot of firearms stored in the city, they can't withstand the consumption of a long war!" Yan Ting frowned after hearing this.

Zhou Youze said: "How long do you think this battle can last? Do we have to wait until the Wei army's trebuchets and other heavy weapons wreaked havoc on our Beishuo city, causing a large number of casualties, before using firearms?"

"This..." Yan Ting paused after hearing this, then his eyes brightened and he said: "What you mean is that when the Wei army attacks the city, first use firearms to destroy the Wei army's trebuchets, siege vehicles and other heavy weapons.

And equipment, how about pulling out teeth from a tiger’s mouth?”

Zhou You nodded and smiled: "That's right! Hurry up and get ready! As expected, the Wei army spent the night repairing today and will definitely come to attack the city tomorrow."

Early the next morning, the Wei army indeed launched an siege. Tens of thousands of Wei troops besieged the city on all sides with great momentum, but the main siege equipment was still concentrated outside the south gate of Beishuo City.

"I really don't know whether Yuan Qi and Wei Shuye are smart or stupid." On the top of the city, looking at the Wei army's attack formation, Zhou You shook his head and laughed: "This makes it clear that they want to focus on attacking the southern city. Instead of concentrating their forces, they are dividing their forces to besiege on all sides.

,Are you trying to fool people? Or do you want to scare people?"

"The imaginary is real, the real is imaginary. This third prince, His Highness, has really mastered the art of imaginary and real," Yan Ting also said with a smile.

While the two were talking, after the Wei army had set up its formation, following the order from the third prince Yuan Qi, thousands of arrows from the Wei army suddenly fired, and the sky was full of arrows, covering Beishuo City.

"Raise your shield!" Yan Ting shouted, and the Yanbei sergeants on top of the city also raised their shields to withstand the wave of arrows, but a large number of buildings in the city were still damaged by the arrows.

Hedgehog-like.

Fortunately, it was not a rocket, otherwise just such a wave of arrows would have caused fires everywhere in Beishuo City, and it would have been enough to make the Yanbei sergeants in the city panic.

But then, the Wei army's trebuchets were launched, and jars filled with kerosene were thrown into the city one after another, and matches were also lit.

"Trebuchets! Fire and thunder bombs! The target is where Wei Jun's trebuchets are," Zhou You saw this and hurriedly began to pass the order, and then the Yanbei trebuchets that were set up on the city and even in the city began to show their power, each one filled with gunpowder.

, the fire and thunder bombs that were lit with match ropes roared towards the outside of the city.

Boom... Bang... Continuous explosions sounded like artillery battles. Fire and thunder exploded one after another. The trebuchets of the Wei army were destroyed. Even the fire thunder that did not hit the trebuchet fell on the military formation.

The lethality caused by it also frightened the Wei army.

After a round of fire and thunder bombs, more than half of the Wei army's trebuchets were lost. The Wei army was already in some commotion before they started to attack the city. However, the trebuchets on the city and in Yanbei's city continued to throw fire and thunder bombs. Outside the city,

The explosion sound became more violent...

"What? How could this happen? What is this? How could Yanbei's trebuchet be so powerful?" Yuan Qi was completely shocked. Even Wei Shuye beside him was stunned. The destructive power of the fire and thunder bombs was really terrifying.
