Chapter 544: Setting Off Fireworks
Xiao Ye, dressed in dark gold armor, galloped wildly, leading four guards and one horse to chase the fleeing Zhou army.
These days, Zhen Tianlei has frightened them out of their courage.
Although they knew that it was just a kind of utensil similar to big fireworks, and the imperial court was already trying to find out the mystery, but these soldiers still did not dare to confront it.
Because anyone who fights against it will really die miserably...
Knowing what it is is one thing; being able to prevent it is another.
But now, they can't prevent...
Xiao Ye was slightly taken aback when he saw the outline of the city wall not far away.
The Commander of the Four Guards, who also followed Xiao Ye all the way on a horse, said, "Your Highness, the city in front of you is the border city of Zhou Kingdom."
Xiao Ye was slightly taken aback: "Have we chased this far?"
The commander of the four guards saw through layers of shadow guards and found that the camp could no longer be seen.
These days, under the cover of Zhen Tianlei, the state of Chu has been advancing all the time, and the camp has been moved several times. The battle that was originally fought in the buffer zone between the two countries has shrunk to the border city while fighting the enemy.
Xiao Ye waved his hand and said, "Retreat for now, and dispatch the siege equipment."
Speaking of this, Xiao Ye suddenly asked: "I am in the army, and the war is constantly raging, what day is it now?"
The commander of the four guards cupped his hands and said: "Return to Your Highness, today is August 16th, just after the Mid-Autumn Festival."
"August 16th." Xiao Ye murmured: "Today is Xue'er's birthday, I almost forgot."
"The princess's birthday?" The commander of the four guards said, "It's a pity that your highness and the prince are both in the frontier, and I'm afraid they won't be able to go back."
Xiao Ye said: "It is impossible to go back, but there must be some celebrations. Xueer was very interested in the fireworks set off by the National Chamber of Commerce on the Queen's birthday. Is it born?"
The commander of the four guards said: "Reporting to Your Highness, Zhentianlei was produced by the Firearms Department under the State Chamber of Commerce, and it can indeed be regarded as a creation of the State Chamber of Commerce."
Xiao Ye laughed immediately when he heard this; "That's great, pull up the bombing vehicle, aim at the border city of Zhou State, and put it on for half an hour to celebrate Xue'er's birthday."
Hearing Xiao Ye's words, the commander of the four guards cupped fist and said, "Yes!"
After all, the commander of the four guards pulled the reins and rushed back to the camp of the Chu army.
The bombing vehicle was moving very slowly. If it didn't take too long to transport the bombing vehicle along the way, they might be able to double the speed of attacking Zhou Guocheng.

Chu Army Big Tent
At this time, the Chu army's central army tent had just set up camp, there was no way, the fight was too fast these days.
With the help of Zhen Tianlei, they have now broken through the battle buffer zone between Chu and Zhou, and the frontier city of Zhou is located more than a dozen miles ahead.
The Xian Wang sat in the marshal's tent that had just been set up, and said to himself: "Today is Xue'er's birthday, alas, that's all, with the concubine and Wan'er at home, there must be nothing serious .”
Thinking like this, King Xian still walked out of the commander's camp, wanting to relax, at this moment, King Xian saw the commander of the four guards who had just dismounted in the camp, and asked, "What's the situation ahead?"
The commander of the four guards knelt on one knee and cupped fist and said: "Reporting to the lord, the remnants of the Zhou army have retreated into the border city of the Zhou Kingdom and refused to come out. Your Highness thought that today is the birthday of Princess Yongle, and the general will rush back to remind you to drop bombs." The car arrived at the frontline battlefield as soon as possible, and set off a thunderstorm for half an hour to celebrate the birthday of Princess Yongle."
After thinking about it for a while, King Xian said: "Now there are enough thunderbolts in our army, and the supply battalion is continuously transporting them to the border. How about this, bring more thunderbolts, and let the bombers put them on for an hour. Put it on for another hour at night to celebrate Xueer's birthday, by the way, remember to prepare some kerosene and throw it in at night, it will be beautiful."
The commander of the four guards immediately cupped his hands and said: "This subordinate obeys!"
Tonight is destined to be another night of thunder and fire.
...
At this moment, the soldiers of Zhou State guarding the border city are heartbroken. What is wrong with Chu State today?
They all retreated to the city and still don't let them go? !
At this time, there was no way to stand on the city wall, because many of the soldiers who stood on the city wall holding crossbows were injured and killed by the thunder that fell that day...
At night, these thunderstorms came again...
Is it over yet? !
If the explosion continues like this, the city wall will not collapse, will it?

Liuzhou City
Taoyuan Inn
In Xu Qing's room
Xiao Ruxue lay on Xu Qing's bed, rubbing the round belly she had eaten, with a look of satisfaction on her face.
Long Bing'er was leaning against the window, her stomach was a little distended, obviously she didn't eat less today.
But it's not her fault, if you want to blame it, those dishes made by Xu Qing are really delicious.
From breakfast to dinner, everything was arranged by Xu Qing very thoughtfully.
Long Bing'er naturally enjoyed Xiao Ruxue's favor and ate a lot of delicious food.
Standing by the window, Xu Qing looked at Long Binger who was leaning against the window and asked, "How is it? Are you satisfied with the food?"
Long Binger nodded in satisfaction: "It's delicious, it's the best banquet I've ever had."
Xu Qing said with a smile: "I'm overwhelmed, do you want to go to King Ming's side?"
Long Binger pondered for a moment, then shook her head: "I don't know, they should have stepped up their guard, I'm not sure if it's okay..."
Xu Qing gave her a white look, and said, "You couldn't do it when people didn't strengthen their security. Now that they have strengthened their security, what do you use to steal?"
Long Bing'er puffed up her mouth and said, "I... I've tried my best to pretend that people are stealing and stealing..."
Xu Qing shook his head and said: "Don't be ridiculous, if any petty thief can escape from Ming Xun, the head of the Ming family, then what kind of thief is he?"
Long Bing'er stomped her feet angrily: "Then what should I do?"
Xu Qing said: "It's still the same sentence, professional work should be handed over to professional people."
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and the shopkeeper didn't dare to come in after learning the lesson of the chair last time. He just stood at the door and said through the door: "Reply to Mr. Dean, today, according to what you said, everyone in Liuzhou The inn waived one day’s rent, and General Liu has already returned the money, and will not accept any more money in the future.”
Xu Qing nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, let's go down."
The shopkeeper outside the door said: "This is just a subordinate's job. I dare not talk about hard work. This subordinate will resign..."
After the shopkeeper retreated, Xu Qing walked over and pushed Xiao Ruxue who was lying on the bed up: "Okay, get up quickly."
Xiao Ruxue was lying on the bed, hooked Xu Qing's quilt with a small foot, and stirred it up on her body: "I'm sorry..."
Xu Qing said: "There is something beautiful outside the window, you absolutely like it."
When Xiao Ruxue heard this, she immediately became interested. She jumped off the bed, put on her shoes, and ran to the window to take a closer look: "Where is there anything to see?"
As soon as Xiao Ruxue finished speaking, a burst of fireworks suddenly rose outside the window. The flames rushed up, soared upwards, and bloomed in Nine Heavens, illuminating the entire Liuzhou.
At the same time, a city on the border of a certain country is also illuminated by the fire...
