Chapter 777

The Feng Army is actively preparing for a new round of siege warfare. While strengthening the trebuchet, it is collecting large quantities of stones to make stone bombs.

Early that morning, Tang Yin had just finished breakfast and left his bed to check on the progress of the reinforcement of his trebuchet. Feng Jun specially set aside a large area in the camp for the purpose of strengthening the trebuchet.

When Tang Yin arrived, there were already a large number of Feng Army soldiers working intensively on the scene. Many of them were bare-chested, holding hammers or ropes to fix pieces of steel armor.

On the trebuchet.

Ren Xiao raised his eyes and watched for a while, then asked Tang Yin in a low voice: "Your Highness, by 'putting on armor' on the trebuchet, can it really prevent An Jun's arrow array?"

Tang Yin squinted his eyes, shook his head slowly, and murmured: "If the distance is too close, the arrow can still penetrate the steel armor."

"Then why does Your Highness bother so much..." to do such useless work? Ren Xiao didn't finish his words.

Tang Yin sighed softly and said: "There is no other way. Wrapping it in steel armor is better than not wrapping it up. Whether it succeeds or not, we can only leave it to fate."

Ren Xiao smiled bitterly and said: "There are also trebuchets in Guankou City. Even if our trebuchets are covered with shields and can withstand An's army's arrow array, they may not be able to prevent the trebuchets in the city!"

Tang Yin twitched the corner of his mouth. Now he couldn't care so much. Even if the entire army's trebuchets were scrapped, he still had to take down the pass city.

At this time, General Feng, who was in charge of reinforcing the trebuchet, quickly ran forward, bowed respectfully to Tang Yin, and said, "General, I will see you later!"

Tang Yin waved his hand to him and asked with a smile: "General Liu, how are our army's trebuchets reinforced now?"

The name of this general was Liu Lie, a partial general of the Pingyuan Army. He raised his hands and said, "Report to your Majesty, 30% of the trebuchets have been reinforced. It will take at most half a month to trebuchet all the trebuchets."

The stone machinery has been reinforced."

Tang Yin was very satisfied with Liu Lie's progress. He nodded with a smile and praised: "Well done. At that time, our stone bombs were almost finished and ready for battle."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Liu Lie responded hurriedly. Then, he changed the subject, pointed behind his finger and said, "Your Majesty, the reinforced trebuchets are over there. Do you want to take a look first?"

Tang Yin smiled, raised his head and said, "Okay! You can lead the way!"

"Your Majesty, please come this way." Guided by Liu Lie, Tang Yin, Ren Xiao, Yin Lan and Asan and Asi went to the place where the trebuchets are parked. There are two to three hundred trebuchets placed here.

, everywhere in the trebuchet has been wrapped with steel armor.

Walking closer, Tang Yin and others took a closer look.

The steel armor wrapped around the trebuchet is fixed with iron nails. In order to make it stronger, hemp ropes are tied to the outside of the steel armor. The double fixation of iron nails and hemp ropes makes the steel armor very strong, like a trebuchet.

It looks like the top of a stone machine.

Tang Yin knocked first, then tugged hard, and then he nodded secretly and said: "Yes, it's quite strong. As long as our army's trebuchet can hold a stick of incense in front of the city, with our army's trebuchet

The number of stone machines is enough to smash the city lord's palace at the pass."

Liu Lie said seriously: "Your Majesty, the front of the steel armor is arc-shaped. As long as the enemy's arrows do not hit the center, they will slide away from both sides of the steel armor, posing no threat to our army's trebuchet.

.”

Yo! Quite clever! Tang Yin was amused that Liu Lie actually used the principle of modern steel helmets. Such details did not even occur to him.

He nodded his head and praised again: "Okay! Well done!"

Tang Yin was talking to Liu Lie. At this time, a soldier hurried over, knelt down on one knee in front of Tang Yin, and said urgently: "Your Majesty, an envoy from the Sichuan Kingdom has come outside the camp, claiming to be the princess of Sichuan Kingdom.

Xiao Xiang, request to see the king."

Xiao Xiang? Everyone present was stunned. Tang Yin blinked and chuckled. He couldn't find her even if he tried to find her. Unexpectedly, she took the initiative to come to the door. He asked: "How many people are there on the other side?"

?”

"Report to the king, there are less than a hundred people."

"Oh!" Tang Yin rubbed his chin, thoughtfully. Yin Lan said nervously: "Your Majesty, Xiao Xiang is full of tricks. This time he came to your Majesty for no reason. Be careful that there is a scam!"

Tang Yin looked up and smiled and said: "This is the camp of our army. No matter how scheming Xiao Xiang is, there is nothing she can do!" As he spoke, he shook his head to the crowd and said: "Let's go and take a look.

Look what this red-sleeved princess is going to do!"

He did not welcome her out of the camp, but returned to the central military tent to sit and wait. Not long after, a guard came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Princess Hongxiu of Sichuan Kingdom has arrived outside the tent."

"Yes!" Tang Yin nodded lightly and said, "Let her come in!"

Not long after the guards exited, the tent door curtain was raised and Xiao Xiang walked in from the outside. Immediately afterwards, Chang Feng and the three middle-aged guards beside Xiao Xiang also followed.

Tang Yinan sat on the mat and looked up. When he saw Xiao Xiang, he couldn't help but be startled.

This time, Xiao Xiang has taken off her men's clothes and changed into the clothes of a princess of a country. She is wearing a pink dress, which makes her figure even more slender. She looks charming and graceful. She looks at her face and lightly applies rouge.

, with a face like water and a smile like a flower.

It can be said that Xiao Xiang at this time is completely different from Xiao Xiang when she was dressed as a man, just like a fairy who walked out of the scroll.

Tang Yin secretly sighed, no wonder there were rumors that Xiao Xuan loved the fifth princess very much. If he had such a beautiful girl, he would probably dote on her too.

Before Tang Yin could speak, Xiao Xiang came forward with a smile, stood in front of the handsome case, bowed gracefully, and said softly: "Xiao Xiang has met His Highness Feng Wang."

She suddenly seemed to be a different person, even her temperament was different, which made Tang Yin a little bit at a loss. He was stunned for a while, then Fang waved his hand with a smile and said, "You're welcome, Princess Hongxiu."

After a pause, he said again: "Farewell to Yujing, Princess Hongxiu is very easy for me to find. Unexpectedly, I met Princess Hongxiu again at the pass. Please take a seat!"

Xiao Xiang walked to Tang Yin's assistant and sat down with a smile. Then, she raised her head and looked at Tang Yin with her big bright eyes without blinking. She asked with a smile: "How many times did Xiao Xiang offend someone when we were in Yujing? His Highness, Prince Feng, didn't you?"

You must have the scent of the zodiac sign!"

"No, of course not." The corners of Tang Yin's lips raised, and he was smiling.

What a "very offended" person. Such an understatement caused his side to lose countless food and fodder. He smiled and asked: "The princess came to visit this time, isn't she here specifically to apologize to the king?"

Xiao Xiang shook her head with a smile, nodded again, and said softly: "To apologize to His Highness Feng Wang is one of the purposes of Xiao Xiang's trip. The other purpose is to discuss something with His Highness Feng Wang."

This is the theme! Tang Yin smiled secretly in his heart and said, "I wonder what the princess wants to discuss with this king?"

Xiao Xiang did not answer immediately, but blinked her eyes first. Her eyes were big and bright, and her eyelashes were long. When she blinked, they looked like two small fans flapping. She was not acting coquettishly, but it was better than acting like a coquettish person, which made people look at her.

I feel itchy in my heart.

Even Ren Xiao and Yin Lan couldn't help but take a breath and looked away from her face.

Tang Yin was not affected by her at all, his clear eyes still shone with a sharp and charming light, and the smile on his face was still superficial.

She snorted coldly in her heart, "What do you think?" She thought so in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She said delicately: "This time, Xiao Xiang is here to discuss something with His Highness Feng Wang on behalf of his father.

I also ask His Highness Prince Feng not to underestimate Xiao Xiang."

Tang Yin suppressed the impatience in his heart and said: "Princess, it's okay to say it. I am listening attentively."

Xiao Xiang took a deep breath and said seriously: "My father plans to spend a lot of money to buy Guankou City. I wonder what His Highness Feng Wang wants?"

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone present changed. Sichuan State wants to buy Guankou City? This is incredible.

Tang Yin raised his eyebrows, looked directly at Xiao Xiang for a while, and said slowly: "Guankou City is not yet within the control of Feng Kingdom. I'm afraid it's too early for the princess to come to discuss buying the city with me, right?"

"Not early, not early!" Xiao Xiang chuckled: "It's actually the same whether we talk now or later."

"how do I say this?"

"Your Highness, King Feng, please forgive Xiao Xiang for speaking frankly. The Feng army cannot defeat Guankou City, now or in the future." When Yin Lan, who was standing aside, heard the words, fire immediately appeared in her eyes. She held the hilt of the sword in her hand, took a step forward, and shouted angrily:

"You are full of nonsense..."

Seeing that she was going to be rude to Xiao Xiang, the three middle-aged men stepped forward together. Although the Feng Kingdom guards had already taken away their weapons when they entered the Zhongjun tent, with their cultivation level, they could win even with bare hands.

Better than Yin Lan.

Tang Yin waved his hand at Yin Lan, signaling her not to be rude, and then smiled at Xiao Xiang and asked: "Since the princess has so categorically said that our Feng army cannot defeat Guankou City, then why does your country need to send the princess to look for me in this unnecessary way?

Are you talking about buying Guankou City?"

"Because His Highness Feng Wang has long regarded Guankou City as the possession of Feng Kingdom, and my father does not want Sichuan and Feng to meet each other at war, so he came up with the method of spending money to buy Guankou City." Xiao Xiang said seriously.

Said: "Selling the Guankou City to the Sichuan State will not damage the Feng State's face. It will also allow Sichuan and Feng to continue to have good relations. The Feng Army will no longer have to worry about how to capture the Guankou City, or even lose troops and generals.

, and at the same time, you can get a large sum of gold and silver paid by our Sichuan Kingdom, which can be said to be a multi-purpose achievement. Your Highness, King Feng, will not miss such an opportunity, right?"

Tang Yin rubbed his chin while listening. When Xiao Xiang finished speaking, he asked: "Our Feng Kingdom's hundreds of thousands of troops cannot defeat Guankou City. Your country thinks that the Sichuan Army can defeat it?"

Xiao Xiang smiled and said: "That is our Sichuan country's own business. As long as His Royal Highness Feng Wang nods and lets the Feng army retreat from Guankou City and let our Sichuan army take over, then it will be unlucky for our Sichuan country if we can't fight. If we do, we will be unlucky.

Now that we are down, His Highness Feng Wang, please don’t be jealous after seeing this.”
