After a round of bombardment by the Heavenly Thunder Cannon, the potter had seen through the fragility of Chang'an City, and after the trial, he immediately ordered the Heavenly Thunder Cannon to hit the direction and bombard the left flank of the city wall.
Because the potter had seen before, under the bombardment of the heavenly thunder cannon, the city wall on the left side of the city gate was the most seriously damaged, and it should also be the weakest point of the entire city wall.
The potter wanted to concentrate his firepower and smash the wall on the left side with one blow.
Under the Divine Command, the Heavenly Thunder Cannon temporarily stopped bombardment, and after a short adjustment of direction, re-aimed at the left city wall.
With a command, thousands of cannons were fired in unison, and thousands of stone projectiles the size of bull's heads rose into the air again, cutting through graceful arcs, and shooting towards the left wall in all directions.
Boom, boom, boom There was another loud bang to the sky, the whole city wall shook and trembled, and the left wing of the city wall was bombarded with such a dense bombardment, and large areas of the wall either fell off or were bombarded to the point of cracking, and the surface fortifications such as the female wall on the upper part of the city wall were razed to the ground in an instant, and those soldiers who had no time to dodge were bombarded into pulp.
Under the round of bombardment, the left flank wall was fully recognizable.
The terror had just begun, and round after round of stone rain was endlessly overwhelming, launching a saturated, uninterrupted continuous bombardment of that fragile section of the city wall.
The earth shook and the mountains shook, the sky collapsed and the earth cracked, the crumbs flew wildly in the sky, and the frightened and tragic howls of the Qin army were ruthlessly drowned in the loud bang.
Yan Yan, who was hiding under the city tower and survived, looked at the crumbling city wall, he was already anxious, and his mouth trembled and muttered: "Prince, prince, the city wall will be broken sooner or later, your reinforcements will arrive early, we still have hope to block the Wei army, and if it is a little later, the general trend will be over."
Yan Yan's frightened self-talk, like all the screams of the Qin army, was drowned out in the loud sound of the sky.
Prince's Mansion.
When Yan Yan sent messengers and Pegasus rushed there, in the mansion, Cao Ang was still enjoying the graceful dance of the dancing girl, listening to the beautiful music and drinking a little wine with great satisfaction.
"In less than a month, the pottery thief will definitely retreat because of the urgency in the north, and then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will have great achievements in defending the city, and he will be more trusted by His Majesty, and this prince's treasure will be as stable as Mount Tai."
Cao Zhen, who was sitting with him at the bottom of the stairs, smiled and gave Cao Ang a bright future.
The rest of the Wenchen generals who accompanied the wine all followed Cao Zhen and raised their glasses to congratulate Cao Ang.
It seems that in their eyes, defending Chang'an City and forcing the Wei army back is a sure thing.
Cao Ang became more and more proud when he heard this, raised his glass and smiled: "If you don't work together, this prince will not be able to achieve great achievements, and after forcing back the pottery thief, this prince will definitely ask his father for a reward for you." ” "Thank you, Your Highness the Prince."
Cao Zhen and the others raised their glasses and thanked Cao Ang.
Cao Ang also raised his glass high and drank with everyone with a smile.
After drinking a glass of wine, Cao Ang glanced not far away, and quietly fell on Ma Yunlu, with a trace of displeasure in his eyes.
Everyone present was elated, either complimenting him or toasting him, but only Ma Yunlu sat there coldly, with a cold face, not saying a word, not touching a drop of wine.
The cold attitude of his fiancée made Cao Ang feel unhappy in his eyes.
He swallowed secretly, pretended to smile, and smiled at everyone: "After today's painful drink, maybe it won't be a few days before you can drink my happy wine." ” As soon as she heard the word "happy wine", Ma Yunlu's eyebrows suddenly wrinkled slightly, as if these two words touched her taboo.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, could it be that His Royal Highness and Miss Ma's marriage has been" Cao Zhen immediately understood, and glanced at Ma Yunlu with a smile.
Cao Ang drank another glass of wine and said triumphantly: "This prince has made a statement to his father yesterday, asking my father to allow me to choose a good day and an auspicious day to get married in the next day, and use this big wedding gift to encourage the soldiers of the three armies, once again stabilize the hearts of the people and the army, and I believe that my father will definitely grant permission." ” Cao Zhen was suddenly surprised, and hurriedly said: "Your Royal Highness has just been promoted to the crown prince, and now you can marry Miss Ma, it is really a double happiness, I really congratulate Your Highness." ” "Congratulations to Your Highness on your double happiness."
The rest of the civil and military officers also stood up to congratulate.
Cao Ang became more and more proud, laughing, and the smug laughter of the spring breeze echoed in the hall. syllable Ma Yunlu, who had been silent, suddenly slapped his hand on the desk, interrupting Cao Ang's smug laughter and startling him.
The laughter stopped abruptly, and before Cao Ang could react, Ma Yunlu stood up, glared at Cao Ang with complaining eyes, and asked coldly: "Marriage matters, why don't you ask my opinion first, and then make your own decisions."
As soon as Ma Yunlu's words came out, the hall was silent for an instant, and a pair of embarrassed and surprised eyes shot at the Miss Ma.
"This Miss Ma is really ignorant enough, she dares to question the prince in front of so many people, isn't this a intention to make the prince lose face" Cao Zhen frowned quietly and shook his head secretly.
The expressions of the civil and military forces on the left and right were the same as Cao Zhen, and they were obviously surprised that this Ma Yunlu dared to refute Cao Ang's face so blatantly.
Cao Ang's smug smile suddenly froze, a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes, and his fists clenched the wine glass, almost angry.
Obviously, Ma Yunlu didn't give him face so much, and dared to question himself like this in public, which made him extremely unhappy, but he knew very well that Ma Yunlu had a strong and proud temperament, if he had a seizure on the spot, she would just be unconvinced, and maybe she would collide with herself even more.
"In that case, wouldn't my face be even more unbearable?"
Cao Ang's thoughts were racing, and he quickly weighed the pros and cons, took a breath secretly, forcibly suppressed the nest fire, and waved his hand: "This prince has a few words to talk to Miss Ma alone, and today's wine is almost over, so let's disperse." ” Cao Zhen and the others were also interested, and they got up and retreated.
The ministers retreated, the singers and dancers retreated, and above the main hall, only Cao Ang and Ma Yunlu remained.
Ma Yunlu glanced at him, flicked his hand, and turned around to leave.
Cao Ang became angry, smashed the wine glass on the table, and shouted: "You stop me" Ma Yunlu ignored him and still walked out the door.
Cao Ang became even more angry, rushed down the steps in a few steps, and shouted: "Ma Yunlu, I order you to stand as the crown prince, if you dare to take another step, you will rebel."
Ma Yunlu suddenly slowed down, only one step away from stepping out of the threshold of the main hall, hesitated for a moment, and finally bit his lip and retracted his steps.
Even though she was arrogant, and relying on the power of the Ma family in the court, she acted a little arrogantly, but she was not so arrogant that she dared not even take Cao Ang's identity as the crown prince out of her eyes.
"What does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince command?"
Ma Yunlu turned around and asked in a cold tone.
Cao Ang nodded with satisfaction, his annoyed and angry expression was somewhat restrained, he stepped forward with his hands in his hands, stared at her cold and beautiful face, and asked unhappily: "Yunlu, the marriage contract between this prince and you was given by my father and the emperor, and everyone knows that you will be my crown princess sooner or later, and now I just asked my father to make you the crown princess in advance, if you are not happy, why do you dare to question this prince like that?"

Cao Ang put on a majestic posture of His Royal Highness the Prince, wanting to use his noble identity to subdue Ma Yunlu.
Ma Yunlu didn't have the slightest sense of awe, and he didn't even want to look at him, but said coldly: "I just don't like to change the wedding date casually without my permission." ” Cao Ang's face sank, and he was immediately annoyed again, and said in a deep voice: "You are the fiancée of this prince, this prince will marry you whenever he wants, and he will marry you whenever he wants, and he still has to ask for your opinion, what a joke" "In that case, then everything is as happy as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince likes, and I have nothing more to say."
Ma Yunlu replied coldly, turned around and left again.
Ma Yunlu's indifferent attitude made Cao Ang angry and crazy, how could she be allowed to leave like this, and in a few steps, he blocked in front of her.
Just as he was about to speak, a scout hurriedly entered and said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the temperature outside is suddenly warmer, and the ice on the city wall is melting. ” Cao Ang was interrupted from his thoughts, and couldn't help but be furious, and he didn't think much about what the scout said, and slapped his backhand on the scout's face.
The scout was inexplicably knocked to the ground, frightened and aggrieved, and quickly knelt on the ground, trembling and not even daring to breathe.
Cao Ang reprimanded angrily: "What's the fuss about the weather getting warmer, it's the end of winter and the beginning of spring, it's not common for the weather to be hot and cold, and after a few hours, the temperature will definitely drop, just ask Yan Yan to splash water and re-ice the city, in such a short time, how can the pottery thief have time to organize the siege." ” "Yes, yes, the little one knows, and the little one retires."
The scout prostrated again and again, and fled in great fear.
Cao Ang shouted at the guards outside: "This prince has something to do now, don't bother me, let them all get out of me."
The guards outside were reprimanded with a gray face, but they hurriedly closed the door.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, Your Majesty ordered you to guard Chang'an City, you don't care about the city defense, but you are entangled with me here, is this how you defend the city" Ma Yunlu asked coldly, with a bit of sarcasm in his tone.
Cao Ang snorted coldly, and said proudly: "The matter of defending the city, this prince is not your turn to point fingers, this prince expects that the city wall is not in danger, why bother too much, the most important thing now is to explain the matter between you and me clearly." ” "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to make it clear."
Ma Yunlu still looked cold.
Cao Ang took a deep breath, took a few steps closer to Ma Yunlu, and asked in a deep voice: "Since my father gave me a marriage, you have always treated me with a cold, unreasonable attitude, and repeatedly contradicted me, I just want to know, why do you do this, are you so reluctant to marry me?"
Cao Ang's words can be regarded as piercing the layer of window paper.
"Yes, I am reluctant to marry you" Ma Yunlu also replied simply.
Cao Ang's brows were deeply furrowed, his face was even more gloomy, he forcibly suppressed his anger, gritted his teeth and asked: "I, Cao Gui, am the crown prince, how noble my identity is, how many women in the world want to be the woman of this prince in my dreams, why don't you want to, is this prince still not worthy of you?"
"Does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really want to know the reason" Ma Yunlu looked at Cao Ang's annoyed expression, and his tone was still indifferent.
"Yes, I want to know, tell me," Cao Ang yelled in a hoarse voice. isjgy:
