The Northern Army, led by Zhu Di, retreated in the first head-on confrontation with the Southern Army led by Tie Xuan. The three guards of Duoyan lost nearly 100 people and were trapped in the gunpowder array, with no bones left.

A storm became the greatest help. Zhu Di wanted to take advantage of the situation to attack the city, but Tie Xuan made a quick decision and retreated the army into Jinan in one fell swoop.

There is a rock-like city wall outside and 200,000 imperial soldiers guarding the city inside. Jinan City has almost become an insurmountable fortress.

But Zhu Di's temperament is different from ordinary generals. Sheng Yong, Tie Xuan and Li Jinglong can afford it, but he can't afford it. That afternoon, Zhu Di mobilized the entire army's Shenwu cannons and bombarded Jinan City.

"You spend all your ammunition here, what should you do when you attack Yingtian Mansion tomorrow?"

The sound of cannons was deafening, and Zhu Quan was almost shouting against Zhu Di's ears.

"Fourth Brother! The best strategy for besieging the city is—!"

Zhu Di stroked the jade ring on his left thumb with his right hand. With the sound of the sky-shaking cannon, he looked at Jinan. Countless shells flew out from the formation, slamming into the wall, and exploded out dark marks of gunpowder.

The artillery soldiers from the back formation came to report in a hurry. After hearing this, Zhu Quan turned to Zhu Di and shouted: "The muzzle is too hot! You can't attack any more!"

Zhu Di said coldly: "You can't give Sheng Yong time to build a city."

"The cannons will explode!" Zhu Quan was furious and grabbed Zhu Di's collar and shouted: "Fourth brother! Listen to me!"

"There are still 200,000 Li Jinglong's soldiers in the city. Even if you knock down the city wall, it will be useless! If the plain war begins, the time you have won is enough to complete the city wall..."

While he was talking, a series of explosions occurred in his back formation. The muzzle was overheated and the limit was finally reached when it was filled with gunpowder. Several magic cannons exploded and destroyed small camps.

Zhu Di stuck Zhu Quan's neck, pressed him on the tree beside him, and shouted: "Shut up! Today I want to drag Li Jinglong out of Lingchi! If you have this time to talk, it's better to go back and find a way to attack the city! Get out!"

Zhu Quan did not expect that Zhu Di was completely different from his previous combat style today. He was anxious and angry, and immediately flicked his sleeves and left in disappointment.

Tuoba Feng disappeared, and his side lost a capable general. He had no choice but to send someone to enter the city at night to attack. In addition, Yun Qi's life and death were unknown, so he could not explain to Xu Wen. Zhu Di's mood was extremely bad.

Seeing that the city wall in Jinan collapsed little by little, the height of the city tower was even more broken, and broken bricks flew everywhere. Zhu Di estimated that the city wall would be able to be broken after two consecutive guns. However, his artillery had reached its limit and could no longer be cooled down. So he ordered the whole army to rest for a while, waiting to welcome the battle of the plains after the city was broken.

"Where is Zhu Quan?" Zhu Di waited for a long time, but did not see Zhu Quan coming.

My subordinates came down to report that King Ning left the camp three minutes ago and led 200 guards to the west.

"That." Zhu Di gritted his teeth and said, "Where are you going?"

After the artillery camp was rested, Zhu Di did not care about Zhu Quan anymore, hurriedly took Duoyan's military quotation, arranged the army outside Jinan City, and said loudly: "Tie Xuan is here! Now your Jinan City is in danger. I will quickly drop my prince and spare the lives of the people in the city!"

A figure appeared on the city tower, which was Tie Xuan.

The court army represented by Zhu Yunwen and the Beiping rebels represented by Zhu Di finally had the opportunity to have a head-on conversation for the first time.

Zhu Quan went there for a whole morning and finally came back now, which happened to catch up with the two armies' confrontation.

Zhu Di did not ask where Zhu Quan went, and Zhu Quan did not say anything, but asked, "Are you going to surrender?"

Zhu Di narrowed his eyes and looked at Tie Xuan who was standing on the city tower in the distance, and nodded slowly.

"I'll do it." Zhu Quan rolled up his sleeves and said.

"No, come here, the prince."

"I'll do it, I'll do it. Tie Hyun is famous for being mean. If you quarrel, you are not his opponent..."

"I'll do it!" Zhu Di said angrily, reaching out to jail Zhu Quan's neck again.

Zhu Quan had no choice but to give in: "Brother Wang, please..."

Tie Xuan said loudly: "As a vassal general, the King of Yan held heavy troops, did not obey the jurisdiction of the court, and rebelled against the rebellion. The disaster caused Xiao Wall and put my Ming Dynasty in the midst of water and fire. What are the faces to see now!"

Zhu Di sneered, "There are treacherous slanders in the court..." and bowed to the north and said, "I am the prince who has been ordered by Emperor Taizu to send troops to calm the crisis. If the treacherous ministers in the court do not eliminate them for a day, I will not be able to withdraw the troops."

The two armies were silent for a moment, and the move was just a few scenes. Zhu Di didn't have much hope, but Tie Xuan was silent. After a while, he saw his tall figure standing on the height of the city tower, his clothes fluttering in the wind, and he took off something on his back, which was a long bow half a man high.

Tie Xuan pulled the longbow away in front of hundreds of thousands of people. Zhu Di's personal soldiers were shocked. The two armies gathered nearly 400 yards away. What should Tie Xuan do?!

I saw the bow as full moon, the arrows as flying stars, and the long arrow left the city tower with a bang, and flew towards the Northern Army with the power of a powerful crossbow! Then it was nailed to the shaft of Zhu Di's chariot, and a note was tied to the tail of the arrow.

Tie Xuan said loudly: "The right and wrong are right, and later generations have commented on it. He is loyal to the country, but he is only tragic. The whole city of Jinan would rather die than surrender!" After saying that, he jumped down the city tower and saw no sign.

His subordinates took the arrow and put it on the creed and presented it to Zhu Di, which was exactly: "Theory of King Zhou Gong's Assistance".

Zhu Di buried his head in his head and his face was sunny. Zhu Quan smiled and said, "That kid has always been very good at lip and tongue."

Zhu Di recited: "Duke Zhou met Duke Zhao... Brothers, how do you pronounce this word?"

Zhu Quan said embarrassedly: "School, summon the official business."

Zhu Di said, "What a mess." As he said that, he kneaded the letter into a ball and threw it away, yelling, "No more! The cannons exploded him, fire the cannon!"

Zhu Quan was so amused that he thought that Tie Xuan was so talented that he could do his best to do his knowledge.

At that time, thousands of cannons were launched in conjunction with each other, like divine thunder piercing the sky. The city wall of Jinan could no longer withstand the continuous artillery attacks and finally gradually collapsed. In less than a moment, a banner with the word "Zhu" was set up at the height of the city wall, and there was another countermeasure.

Zhu Di ignored it and ordered a fierce bomb. When Tie Xuan carried something with his own hands, he walked up to the city gate again. Thousands of Shenwu cannons were silent.

Zhu Quan laughed loudly, but Zhu Di stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do.

Tie Xuan was carrying the object in his hand, which turned out to be Zhu Yuanzhang's God-Master Card!

"Was King Yan coming here on the order of Emperor Taizu?" Tie Xuan's voice spread all over the world.

Zhu Di immediately did not dare to bomb again, and he sent an order to stop the cannon and was undecided.

As soon as the cannon stopped, Tie Xuan raised several tablets behind him. From Zhu Yuanzhang's father Zhu Qiyi to Empress Ma, the prince Zhu Biao and others had passed away. The family's God-Ma card was shaking, and it was very lively.

Zhu Quan was already out of breath and said, "Fourth brother, you can't fire the cannon again, otherwise you will be scolded by all the people in the world..."

Zhu Di seemed to be slapped from a distance. Seeing that Jinan City was broken, Tie Xuan used this move. He was really barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes. Finally, he met someone who was even more rogue than himself.

Zhu Quan smiled and said seriously: "You might as well, I just thought of another plan. Jinan can be broken within three days."

Zhu Di then remembered that Zhu Quan left without saying goodbye during the day and asked, "Where did you go in the morning?"

Zhu Quan left early, but he searched for the tributary of the Yellow River along the way, buried countless gunpowder at the embankment, and sent personal soldiers to guard it closely, waiting for Zhu Di to fail to capture this place for a long time and the ammunition was exhausted, and the city was flooded.

Zhu Di pondered for a moment and said, "This method can only be used scaryly. It cannot really lure water back into Jinan City. Otherwise, even if I become emperor and die so many people, the throne will not be stable. I will be scolded by the historians in the future."

Zhu Quan smiled and said, "It's up to you, let's do it yourself."

Zhu Di pondered for a long time and ordered: "In this way, let the water flood the city of Jinan first, and then seal the embankment, and do not explode them all."

In November, the autumn wind is bleak, on the banks of Daming Lake.

Tuoba Feng held Yun Qi's chin in one hand, letting him lean on his knees, massage the key acupoints on his back with his fingers, and Yun Qi spat out a mouthful of blood with a mouthful of blood.

Tuoba Feng put Yunqi on the ground and took the wooden bowl tied to the horse's back during the march. He scooped a bowl of mud and water by the lake, pried open Yunqi's mouth and poured it down. Then he pressed it all the way on his back again, and Yunqi vomited happily again.

After repeating this several times, until Yun Qi couldn't spit out anything. Tuoba Fengfang looked at him quietly, his eyes full of tears.

"Is it better?" Tuoba Feng's voice trembled with a hint of trembling.

Yun Qi buried his head in exhausted and fainted.

Tuoba Feng held Yun Qi's wrist in one hand, picked him up carefully, placed him on the horse, put one hand on Yun Qi's back, and walked slowly with the horse in the other hand.

The water level of Daming Lake rose unbelievably high, Tuoba Feng was covered in blood and mud, walking through the waterline deep and shallow, his eyes dissipated, and he was humming a song in his mouth.

"You and I have a lot of love, many feelings..."

Yun Qi continued in a tired voice: "Put a piece of mud, twist one you, and shape one me..."

"I still remember the songs my master's wife sang."

"Um."

Tuoba Feng kept walking blindly, and asked blankly: "Is it better?"

Yunqi answered vaguely, and Tuoba Feng patted his big hand gently behind him, reminding Yunqi of the touching when Xu Wen coaxed him to sleep when he was a child.

"When is it..." Yun Qi straightened up with difficulty and said, "Why is the lake water so high?"

The dilapidated lotus leaves floated on the water surface, and with the cold wind rippled, it drifted towards the trunk of the osmanthus tree. The water went straight past the horse's knees. Tuoba Feng walked into the woods with a rush and said blankly: "Senior brother is useless."

Yun Qi burst out laughing and said, "Do you have any food? You're starving to death."

Tuoba Feng touched his stomach: "No, the fire broker is wet, so it will not catch fire. How many frogs can I eat it raw?"

Yun Qi almost vomited again and hurriedly said, "Forget it, pretend I haven't asked."

Tuoba Feng's ears moved, and he heard a sound alertly, saying, "Wait here."

Pull apart the branches, and a pavilion stands on a vast water surface.

Silk music came from the pavilion, and the sound of flute spread slowly along the water surface. Tuoba Feng climbed on the branches and looked at it for a moment, entered the water silently, and swam towards the pavilion.

There is a banquet in the building, with five or six small boats set up around it, and there are personal soldiers guarding it. Upstairs and downstairs are divided into two rooms, with a woman playing the flute in the lower part of the building, and upsides several officials holding banquets and drinking.

Tuoba Feng burst out from the corner of the guard, wiped his face, and hid behind the screen.

The woman playing the flute almost screamed, and Tuoba Feng quickly covered his mouth and then slowly let it go.

Tuoba Feng smiled and said, "On the Moon Night of the Spring River, there is something wrong on the score." As he said that, he wrapped his hands across the pink neck of Le Niang, his slender fingers on the score, and he pulled her slender hands and pressed them on the flute hole.

"Please continue, girl."

Le Niang's face turned slightly red. Seeing that the handsome man had no malice, she continued to play the flute.

Tuoba Feng raised his head, jumped gently, climbed the beam, pressed his body against the ceiling, and heard a familiar voice.
