Chapter 1477: A surprise for Qingzhou (2)
If the enemy wanted to bomb the city wall, they had to be baptized by the fire of the defending Army.
Miao Youfang returned the cannon to the Cannoneer and turned to look at Xu Xinian. He said angrily, ”
didn’t you say that the enemy won’t launch a night attack?!
“Ah? What did you just say?” Xu Erlang picked his ears and said loudly, ”
“The cannons were too loud, I couldn’t hear them.”
Miao Youfang cursed, thinking that the face of a scholar was indeed not weaker than the skin of a martial artist.
After losing three cannons and two ballistae, the enemy artillery squad had finally entered their firing range, and the sounds of cannons firing filled the air.
Fireballs exploded on the city walls and the top of the city.
The clear sound of the ballistae’s strings could be heard.
The destructive power of mounted crossbows was far inferior to that of cannons. Whether it was the destruction of the city walls or the killing power of the soldiers, they were inferior to the explosion of gunpowder.
But ballistae and ballistae had one use that allowed them to stand alongside cannons and never be eliminated: the destructive power of their bolts in one-on-one combat.
Cannons might not be able to kill a warrior with skin as tough as iron, but the armor-piercing power of crossbow arrows could severely injure or kill the experts in the Army.
Warriors who were caught in the battlefield would become “numb” to their premonitions of danger because danger was everywhere on the battlefield. This would make it easy for Warriors to ignore the terrifying crossbow arrows, and they would be unable to avoid them in advance.
If they were lucky, they would be able to kill or severely injure the enemy’s martial artists, which was a good thing to earn a lot.
As the two sides exchanged blows, a thousand infantry wearing rattan armor carried battering rams, ladders, shields, and other tools as they charged.
These infantrymen were refugees gathered by the rebel army in Yunzhou. They were specially used to deplete the firepower of the defenders.
Two guards raised their shields and stood beside Xu Xinian, while he himself ran around the city wall, commanding the battle.
my Lord, you may leave first. If you are harmed by the cannons, the loss will outweigh the gain.
The guard advised loudly.
“The morale of the Army is more important than my personal safety.”
Xu nianxin held his sword with one hand and ran back and forth, directing the soldiers to fill up the positions and directing the militia to clean up the corpses and treat the wounded.
These things didn’t have to be done by him, but they had to be done by him.
As the highest commander of Songshan County, as long as he stood on the city wall and fought alongside the soldiers, the defenders would never waver.
The battle lasted until the latter half of the night. After the enemy abandoned the corpses on the ground, they retreated in defeat.
…………
The southern border.
Beside the pool, Luo Yuheng was sitting on a smooth stone on the shore with a feather coat draped over his shoulders. Xu Qi ‘an’s robe was under his butt.
From the hems of her feather clothing, a fair and well-proportioned foot could be seen, soaking in the ice-cold water.
Her cheeks were still red and her eyes were slightly squinted. It was unknown whether she was enjoying the cool water or the lingering charm after the spring tide.
Xu Qi ‘an stood in the pool and picked up the White dudou with a lotus flower pattern. He played with it in his hands.
Luo Yuheng’s eyes, which were clearer than a pool of water, swept over him, and an imperceptible shyness flashed through them.
Xu Qi ‘an’s fingers caressed the dudou made of smooth material, reminiscing the delicate softness of her soft chest just now. She laughed and said, ”
“State preceptor, will you get pregnant?”
Luo Yuheng’s eyes turned cold, but his face was flushed. He kicked with his fair feet, and with a splash, the water hit the little silver Gong’s face like the sharpest sword Qi in the world.
Xu Qi ‘an’s face was burning with pain.
“It’s just a deal between you and me,” Luo Yuheng snorted coldly.”I’ll lend you to quell the karmic sinflames, but you’ll lend me your combat strength. Don’t even think about having an heir.”
After she finished speaking, she saw that he was staring at her lower abdomen, and her embarrassment and anger intensified.
He was very stubborn, but he was more familiar with the dual cultivation than the last time … Xu Qian muttered in his heart.
Whether a woman liked you or not, and how much she liked you, could be felt during dual cultivation. Luo Yuheng might be stubborn, but his body had completely accepted him.
She really didn’t have any feelings for him, but she couldn’t lift his hips and twist his waist.
You and mu nanzhi are really good friends. You don’t admit it, but your body is very honest … Xu Qi ‘an said, ”
“I’m just worried that I’ll be slaughtered one day, so at least there’ll be some incense left.
“Let’s get down to business. I discovered a big secret on this trip to the southern border.”
He then told Luo Yuheng what granny Tianji had told him about the poison God white Emperor’s interrogation.
After hearing this, Luo Yuheng’s delicate and slender eyebrows furrowed slightly. He pondered for a long time.
“If you can figure out three things, you will know the secret behind each of the three questions.
“First, the reason for the fall of the ancient fiendgods;Second, the terminal illness of the cultivation methods of the heaven, earth, and human sects;Third, why did the poison God think that the Confucian Saint was the gatekeeper?”
The three things corresponded to ” the end of the great era “, ” the whereabouts of Taoist Reverend “, and ” who was the gatekeeper “.
Luo Yuheng took the opportunity to snatch the dudou back and put it by his side. Then, he gathered the feather raiment. After all, she only had one piece of clothing on her.
In order to prevent Xu Qi ‘an from snatching it away, she said quickly, ”
“The era of the gods and demons is too far away and there are no clues. But if you can talk to the White Emperor and the poison God, you will know the inside story. I don’t suggest you try it. The people now don’t have the qualifications to talk to these two on equal terms.
“Regarding the Dao sect, I’ll make a trip to the sky sect after I advance to the first stage. Just wait for my news. As for the guard, you can ask Zhao Shou or the supervisor.
“Of these two, one is the successor of the scholarly faction, while the other can pry into the secrets of the heavens.”
“As expected of the state preceptor, you’re so smart.” Xu Qi ‘an gave him a thumbs up.
Luo Yuheng’s expression was cold, but there was a smile in his eyes.
For a woman in a high position with a strong character, this was the best way to deal with her. Of course, it had to be Xu Qi ‘an’s flattery.
Because he was Luo Yuheng’s “nominal” Dao companion, no matter how much other men flattered him, they could not stir up her pleasure.
“It’s a pity that those who know the secrets of the heavens are bound by them. Even if the supervisor knew, he wouldn’t be able to tell me. ”
Xu Qi ‘an shook his head regretfully. forget it. There’s no hurry. The war in Qingzhou is more urgent. The Imperial advisor has just returned from Qingzhou. How is the battle there?”
Luo Yuheng said,
“I didn’t pay attention to it.”
“Your cousin seems to have been sent to guard Songshan County, one of yang Gong’s most important strongholds in the second line of defense,” he added.
What she meant was that the war in Qingzhou was temporarily stabilized, but Xu Erlang would be in danger … This was called not paying attention? State preceptor, aren’t you too tsundere? you’re obviously only paying attention to my family … Xu Qian grumbled in his heart, his expression slightly heavy.
“The Nine-Tailed Fox is about to return to the continent, and the demons in the southern border are also gathering. I must ensure that the rebellion of the southern demons is successful, so that we can delay the Buddhist sects in the Western Region. I’m afraid I can’t interfere in the war of Qingzhou.”
The victory or defeat of Qingzhou would affect the balance of victory and defeat in this war, but the war in the southern border was more important. If the South demons could not take back the hundred thousand mountains, they could not restrain the Buddhist League.
If the Buddhists were to cooperate with Yunzhou, it would not only affect the balance of the battle, but it would also cause Da Feng to fail.
“We can ask the Gu clan to send reinforcements to Qingzhou,” Luo Yuheng said.
“Yes, I’ll give Qingzhou a surprise.” Xu Qi ‘an nodded.
Although the transcendents of the Gu clan couldn’t leave, the clansmen of the seven tribes could participate in the battle. The heart Gu, poison Gu, and corpse Gu were the favorites of the battlefield. Dark Phoenix was a top-tier assassin.
This should be able to greatly relieve the pressure on Qingzhou.
