Chapter 738 Siege:
Don’t say this lightly, looking into Guang Jiqi’s eyes while saying it.
"What are you talking about?" Although Guang Jiqi knew that Fang Bi would not joke easily about this matter, when the boy said it, he still said it subconsciously.
What is Her Royal Highness the Princess of Dazhou?
"The royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty has recorded it. A princess who is not recognized by the royal family, even if she really has blood, will not be recognized." Guang Jiqi looked at Fang Bie and said something that was a bit awkward.
"That's the problem." Fang Bie looked at Guang Jiqi and smiled, then continued calmly: "In fact, the existence of His Highness has always been known to the saints." "But she
has a deeper value inside ."
"Do you know why?" Fang Bie asked.
"How could I know?" Guang Jiqi looked at Fang Farewell and said.
"So I just want to tell you." Fang Bie said softly: "The queen of the hive now is Xue Ling, whom you have met. Of course, she changed her name to Lin Xue when she met you." "Xue Ling
? "Guang Jiqi murmured the name.
In fact, after regaining Yingtian Mansion, Xue Ling once worked in Guang Jiqi's army for a while, so the relationship between the two was pretty good. After all, a martial arts master like Lin Xue had a considerable impact on the battlefield. Big, she can easily influence the course of a battle.
But just after a battle, Lin Xue disappeared without a trace, even saying that he did not leave any message to Guang Jiqi.
Only now did Guangji Qiqi know more about the next progress.
"She is Xue Ping's daughter." Fang Bie further added.
"Xue, Xue Ping?" Guang Jiqi was really surprised this time.
Just hearing Xue Ling, Guang Jiqi didn't immediately realize who she was.
But Xue Ping is different.
This is a big man who has been in power for decades. It is even said that his power is no less than that of the emperor himself. Even the chief minister of the cabinet is a little underwhelmed in front of him.
After all, the chief minister of the cabinet does not have those elusive Jin Yiwei and Dongchang.
"Yes, Sir Xue Ping, the former commander of the Jinyi Guards, but secretly, he has been the queen bee of the hive for almost twenty years." Fang Bie looked at Guang Jiqi: "It is also for this reason that Xue Ling is qualified to rely on her father She was sheltered and supported as a queen bee."
At that moment, Guang Jiqi felt his mind light up.
Many things that I had not thought clearly about before seemed to be connected at this moment.
"Then the original queen bee..." Guang Jiqi looked at Fang Bi and hesitated to speak.
"The original queen bee is your majesty's granddaughter." Fang Bie said calmly: "So she is the princess of Dazhou, but there is no way to be recognized." "Even your majesty himself needs her as his own in the
dark To exist as a puppet, rather than to be a princess who can appear in the sun."
Guang Jiqi nodded, he could understand.
As such a powerful underground organization, even the Saint himself needs to rely on the most loyal chess pieces to control the Beehive. The Queen Bee is his direct bloodline, and the Queen Bee is his most trusted subordinate. Only in this way can the Beehive be controlled by him. Instruct.
And now the reason why the hive is in chaos is because the original three-legged situation has been destroyed.
The saint personally dismantled one of the poles, which led Qin to eventually usurp a large amount of the power of the hive, completely evacuating the queen bee who had become a puppet, and finally launched a coup, finally freeing the hive from the saint's control. control.
"But now she is no longer the queen bee." Guang Jiqi looked at Fang Bie and said.
"Even so, there are still many beings in the hive who remain loyal to her, such as Sister Ping." Fang Bie looked at Guang Jiqi: "It is almost impossible to regain the queen bee's throne from Qin. , not to mention that a new queen bee has taken her place, and judging from His Majesty’s own thoughts, she may not want to become a queen bee again. On the contrary, she hopes to appear openly and openly in the sun. ."
"For example." Fang Bie smiled.
"Become a real princess."
In principle, this is impossible.
Because Yan Yu is not the illegitimate daughter of a saint, but the illegitimate daughter of an illegitimate daughter.
In other words, in a sense, the existence of such heirs is a damage to the honor of the royal family.
On the other hand, the existence of Yan Yu is something that His Majesty knows very well. Not only does he know it well, but Yan Yu's importance among his children is actually at the forefront.
"This is simply wishful thinking." Guang Jiqi murmured.
"But you must admit that our Majesty does not like to have children." Fang Bie looked at Guang Jiqi and said.
Guang Jiqi couldn't help but fell silent.
Yes, His Majesty does not like having children.
His current children were basically all born before the age of forty. After the age of forty, because of his addiction to Xuanxiu, although the number of the harem was still maintained at a considerable level, there were no more children in the harem. The sound of a baby crying.
"Now that we have calculated everything, your majesty only has one son alive in the world, King Yu." Fang Bie said calmly: "Even if you include those princesses, there is only one princess Ning'an alive." "In other words, your majesty's current
son Only this son and daughter are still alive."
"This is in the army, don't talk about the emperor's family affairs indiscriminately." Guang Jiqi looked at Fang Bi and said eagerly to stop him.
Because the topic between the two people is indeed sliding towards a more dangerous abyss.
Although not many people know what Fang Bie said, they are all facts.
Nowadays, Emperor Tianlu's sons who are still alive and have reached adulthood only have one Prince Yu. It is even said that this Prince Yu has not been named a prince now. Perhaps it is because the sons who were previously named princes all died before reaching adulthood.
Of course, in Fang Bie's opinion, after Emperor Tianlu gradually mastered the true meaning of martial arts and was able to effectively delay his own aging, he may not have paid so much attention to the issue of heirs.
"So, I will only tell you these things." Fang Bie looked at Guang Jiqi and said, "By the way, the real name of the Highness of the Beehive is Yan Yu." "I'm not interested in her name." Guang Jiqi was a little confused
. Said irritably.
"But her name is very important to this war." Fang Bie looked at Guangjiqi: "After she was expelled by Qin, we finally went to Japan together, met the emperor of Japan, and helped Oda Nobunaga Unifying the entire Japan, this war is one of the consequences of this unification."
"Don't repeat your great achievements to me again." Guang Jiqi looked away.
"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't come here to fight."
"But isn't this the war you were looking forward to? Don't you want this war to happen when you are too old to ride a horse, or die? Bury them in the soil and start beating again? Those Japanese pirates who were beaten to pieces by you are now able to march straight in, and even go to your grave to dance?"
Guang Jiqi didn't understand the word "bundi disco".
But I don’t know why or what it means. I feel extremely humiliated.
After all, understanding graveyard disco does not require understanding the last word disco.
Jumping on the grave is enough.
"So I should thank you, right?" Guang Jiqi asked.
"You should really thank me. This is not a lie." Fang Bie looked at Guang Jiqi and said seriously.
"This is a war that is destined to happen, so detonating the powder keg in advance may be a good thing, and what we have to do is to remove this possibility and make it completely a good thing." "Before that,
I We need to capture Rang Pingcheng first, but it is obvious that Rang Pingcheng is not an easy target. I don’t know what your plan is, but I only know that you have no way to make the 200,000 Japanese troops line up to wash their necks one by one. I'll chop off the head." Guang Jiqi looked at Fang Bie and said calmly: "So, this is a very troublesome thing anyway." "I have helped
you remove the surrounding bunkers, and the next step is to It depends on your ability, but what I can guarantee you is that after Pingcheng is captured, you will soon have a greater victory." Fang Bie looked at Guang Jiqi and said.
"What if it's not captured?" Guang Jiqi looked at the young man: "I'm only paying attention to the current matter." "
If it's not captured, then maybe Zhou Dynasty will have no choice but to negotiate peace with Japan. After all, even the first city cannot be conquered." If there is no way to capture it, the city will become stronger as time goes by."
Fang Bie looked at Guang Jiqi and said calmly.
"Then leave it to me." Guang Jiqi took a deep breath.
...
...
When the army arrived in front of the city, what they had to do was clear.
The city is right there, just capture it.
In fact, as the commander-in-chief of Rang Pingcheng and the vanguard general of the Japan Expeditionary Force, Governor Konishi did not sit back and wait for death.
He organized two night attacks seriously, but every time his thousand-man troops went out of the city and planned to attack the army's camp, as mentioned before, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms was also a novel for these Japanese Warring States generals. This vivid military textbook.
But people from the Three Kingdoms era had no way of imagining today’s defensive measures for encamping armies. For example, there certainly weren’t a large number of firearms, antlers, trenches and other fortifications in that era, let alone watchtowers and mobile sentries around the clock.
After all, to take a step back, Guang Jiqi is a very outstanding military general, and his level of excellence is above the standard.
So the result is also very simple.
That is, after Konishi Yukino lost those peripheral bunkers, he tried to conduct a night attack and was beaten like a dog in the end.
After hitting a wall twice in a row, Governor Konishi stopped trying this meaningless multi-line troop sending operation.
He began to concentrate on consolidating the city defense, while asking for help from the rear, and on the other hand, he began to concentrate on preparing for Guangjiqi's siege.
After all, the city is here. In the era of cold weapons, the impact of the city wall on both the offensive and defensive sides was huge.
But soon, Guangjiqi will teach President Konishi a lesson.
This lesson is simple.
That is, adults, times have changed.
In the beginning, there were indeed those beeping cannons all around. Most of these artillery were not filled with large shells, but iron sand, broken porcelain, etc. were stuffed into the barrel, and then ignited and detonated. , it’s like raindrops falling on your head, all of them are big trolls.
These trolls will definitely beat people to a bloody pulp when they hit them. After all, these things that look like large muskets must be much more powerful than muskets in terms of range and power.
However, the problem is that these trolls have no ability to damage the city wall at all.
After all, you held an umbrella on a rainy day, can the drizzle break your umbrella?
Unless it suddenly hails.
But unfortunately, although there may be no warning signs when hail falls in summer, most hail is preceded by some light rain.
The hailstorm in Dazhou was also arranged soon.
The first to be attacked was Xicheng.
The deafening thunder finally sounded, which also heralded the arrival of the cannon that Guang Jiqi was waiting for.
These cannons are not comparable to those low-quality sprayers that spray some rubble and iron sand. They require specially trained artillerymen to travel thousands of miles to the battlefield on mules, and then four people separately set up and assemble them, then load and fire the cannons. It can fire two sizes of six-pound and twelve-pound cannonballs. Although it is said that it cannot produce explosive shells for the time being, such cannons hitting the city walls can already have some real impact on these fortified cities.
At the very least - in front of such shells, it is absolutely impossible to hold an umbrella.
The shelling of Xicheng lasted less than an hour.
When all the cannons were fired, looking towards the West City from a distance, one could only see a mess with broken bricks and rubble, and wailing sounds could be heard in the distance.
"Is it possible to attack now?" Fang Bie asked from the side.
Such a cannon performance is indeed very pleasing to the eye.
The only downside is that it costs money.
It's really expensive.
Lead cannonballs are even more expensive than simple iron cannonballs, not to mention the more expensive wrought copper barrels. Such a shot is definitely unstoppable.
Let alone Fang Farewell, even Qin may not be able to take a shot from the front.
The so-called crossbow on the bed in the city, one arrow is the sword of the sword fairy, sometimes it is really not a joke.
"It's not the time yet." Guang Jiqi shook his head and said.
"I feel like we can almost attack the West City now." Fang Bie said relying on his simple judgment.
"Yes, we can almost attack it, but we will soon be pushed back." Guang Jiqi looked into the distance and said: "Only attacking the west city will only lead to a desperate counterattack from the enemy. Our biggest problem is the strength of our troops. It's never enough, not to mention that the opponent has already formed a ball. They know that there will be no good things to eat after the city is broken." "
Then what should we do?" Fang Bie asked.
"Waiting." Guang Jiqi smiled faintly.
This is what he is good at.
"Wait until they slowly learn to fear."
