Regent, the princess you found is a treasure

Hearing Xuan Moyin's words, everyone nodded, expressing their agreement with his point of view. Su Luoxue nodded slightly, and after thinking for a moment, she continued to ask: "If the enemy army comes to challenge us, and we choose to hold our ground, what strategy will the enemy adopt? Which type of soldiers is the most offensive?"

General Chen thought for a moment and replied, "My Lord, usually in this situation, the attackers will continue to send archers. These archers will shoot dense rains of arrows at the city walls under the cover of other arms. Then, a group of brave and fearless vanguard death squads will rush to the city walls with ladders in hand, trying to climb up to the top of the city walls, so as to achieve the goal of capturing the city walls and breaking through the city defense line."

Su Luoxue lowered her head and pondered for a while, then asked again: "So, if the enemy's archers can't shoot arrows, will it have a significant impact on their siege operations?"

General Chen nodded affirmatively and replied, "That is beyond doubt. Once the firepower support of the archers is lost, the enemy's siege force will certainly be greatly reduced."

After receiving a positive answer, Su Luoxue raised her lips slightly, a sly look flashed in her eyes, and she said confidently: "Okay! Then follow my plan..."

Three days later, the coalition forces of Beiliang and Hongnan arrived at Qingdu City and set up camp twenty miles outside the city. Because of the previous experience of General Zuo, General Duan discussed with Princess Yong'an and decided not to transport all the food and grass at once. Instead, part of it was placed in the city ahead, and the other part was transported with the army, but stored separately and secretly. In this way, even if the food and grass in one place were stolen, there was food in other places, so they would not be helpless.

And in these short three days, Xuan Moyin, Xuan Haochen as well as General Chen, General Song and others went all out to strengthen the city's defenses.

Not only that, Su Luoxue also ordered the soldiers to make a large number of scarecrows that were the same height as real people. Although the soldiers were confused about why so many scarecrows were made, they knew that obeying orders was a soldier's duty.

Su Luoxue also personally led people to make a batch of special bows and arrows.

At the same time, the people in the city also took action consciously. The men took the initiative to carry supplies for the defenders and contributed their strength to the best of their ability; the women enthusiastically washed clothes, cooked, and mended clothes and shoes for the soldiers. They knew that these defenders were not only the defense line of the city, but also the brave warriors who protected their homes.

When the noble concubine heard the news that an army of 800,000 was about to attack, she couldn't help but feel nervous. Her son had been so busy these days that he was almost invisible. As a mother, even if they were in the same city, she would still be worried and concerned if she didn't see him for a few days.

Although Meixiang, Banxia, ​​Baizhi and others were worried, their mistress told them not to worry too much and just take good care of Gui Taifei. The mistress also told them to eat and drink as needed, because with her around, Qingdu City would never collapse.

They have full confidence in their mistresses and are fully aware of their abilities, so they only need to follow their mistresses' instructions.

At the same time, Su Luoxue distributed sufficient bullets to each of the thirty members of the pistol team and assigned them tasks.

The team members knew that this mission was of vital importance, so they leaned against the corner to take a rest, quietly waiting for the arrival of the enemy.

On the third morning after the enemy arrived outside Qingdu City and set up camp, they led 60 troops to attack the city. The wall of this city is tall and strong, but at this moment, there is a tense atmosphere.

On the city wall, Xuan Moyin, Su Luoxue, General Chen, and the thirty pistol team members were already fully armed and in helmets and armor. They hid in various corners of the city wall, looking for the best shooting position. Everyone held a black pistol in their hands, aiming at the surging enemies below.

These soldiers were scattered in secret and safe places on the city wall. Their eyes were firm and focused. Beside each of them was a large box of bullets prepared for them by the county lord. This was their weapon in battle and the guarantee of their lives.

Under the city wall, the enemy troops surged like a tide, their momentum was fierce, and their shouts of killing were deafening. But the soldiers on the city wall were not afraid at all, they held their guns tightly, pointed the black muzzles at the enemy, and waited for the county lord's order.

Looking at the city wall, rows of scarecrows were neatly arranged. They were dressed in soldier uniforms and wearing soldier helmets, standing there like real people. In that ancient era when there were no telescopes, from a distance, these scarecrows looked like real soldiers guarding the city wall.

However, behind these scarecrows, there were a group of fully armed archers carefully deployed by Su Luoxue. Each of them carried twenty arrows, no more, no less, just right. And the arrowheads of these arrows were all wrapped with a special thing.

There is one thing that makes these people on the city wall different from others: they all wear masks.

General Song and other people were guarding under the city wall, so they could provide immediate support if needed.

Outside the city, General Duan of Beiliang and Princess Yong'an of Hongnan were wearing heavy armor and riding majestically on tall horses. General Duan held a large knife with a cold and gleaming blade, while Princess Yong'an held her usual sharp sword tightly, with the blade flashing a cold light.

Behind them was a huge coalition army as dense as a dark cloud. In the front were several rows of elite cavalry, wearing heavy armor, riding galloping horses, and looking majestic; behind the cavalry was a team of archers ready for battle, with bowstrings taut and arrows like a forest; further back was a group of death-defying soldiers carrying ladders, shouldering the heavy task of siege, with firm and resolute eyes; at the very back was a phalanx of infantry holding spears, marching in step and with high morale.

On the city wall, Su Luoxue calmly observed the formation of the coalition forces below the wall, thinking to herself: "Looking at this situation, Princess Yong'an is obviously determined to win and wants to break through our city in one fell swoop." She turned to Xuan Moyin beside her and whispered.

Xuan Moyin stared at the enemy troops under the city with sharp eyes, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and responded confidently: "Princess, there is no need to show mercy."

Su Luoxue smiled slightly, with a hint of confidence and determination in her eyes, and replied softly: "Okay, I will follow your orders, Your Majesty."

Princess Yong'an, who was outside the city wall, looked determined and confident as she gently waved to the deputy general behind her.

The deputy general understood what he meant and immediately drove his horse forward and stopped not far from the city wall. He raised his head and stared sharply at the enemies on the city wall, then shouted at the wall at the top of his voice, and the sound was heard far away in the empty battlefield.

At the same time, the drums behind them sounded like thunder, and the exciting rhythm inspired the hearts of every soldier. The sound seemed to be an invisible force, inspiring them to move forward courageously.

However, there was silence on the city wall and no response.

Princess Yong'an saw this and felt a little confused. She drove her horse forward a few steps, getting closer to the city wall.

She straightened up and shouted loudly: "Xuan Moyin, Su Luoxue, this princess knows that you are on the city wall! Su Luoxue, don't you always think highly of yourself and have great abilities? If you have the courage, come down and compete with this princess!"
