The people did not know that the imperial army had arrived. After they returned home, they discussed with their neighbors what they had learned that day.

And through the live broadcast, they also saw some relatively simple tools used in the fields, and they were able to try to make them.

"Look, I made this thing after imitating the later generations. When it's time to harvest rice in the fall, you put the rice in it and then step on it, and it will thresh the rice automatically."

"It's okay, but not as good as mine. I made a windmill based on tools from later generations to sift grain."

"My work is amazing. This thing of mine has been praised by Master Mo."

"You're talking as if this windmill I made wasn't praised at all."

"Stop arguing. You two are both very capable. One of you is threshing the grain in the field, and then the other one can use the sieve to thresh the grain. You are both so capable, why do you have to compete with each other?"

When the people around heard this, they burst into laughter and praised the two men's hands-on ability.

These tools will be of great use during the autumn harvest.

Some people noticed the soldiers walking on the street and warmly invited them to come and take a look.

Under the eldest princess's iron fist, her soldiers were not allowed to bully the people and were strictly bound to abide by the eight principles.

Therefore, even if the people saw these soldiers on the street, they were not afraid and sometimes would enthusiastically call them over to chat.

"What are you busy with? If you're not busy, come and take a look at my new invention."

"Next time, I'm busy this time."

The soldier shook his head in reply and walked quickly towards a house.

"Sister Ge, there is a temporary order for you to cancel your vacation and return home immediately."

When Ge Qing heard this, he immediately understood that another mission was about to begin. He quickly returned to the house and said hurriedly:

"Okay, I'll change my clothes and go back right away."

The soldiers did not stay any longer and immediately went to the next place to notify those on leave to return to their posts.

The eldest princess has just returned to the palace.

Zhou Qichen immediately went to report: "Princess, the imperial army is heading this way. They seem to want to end the battle quickly."

The eldest princess frowned slightly, feeling vaguely uneasy.

Generally speaking, the imperial army would be exhausted when they arrived at the plague city, and the generals would choose to stay there and wait until the entire army had rested before launching an attack the next day.

Obviously, the commander of an army is not a mediocre person. It is impossible for them not to know the consequences of exhausting the army.

The person who can be the head coach is not a fool like Pei Changying, so how could he not know the consequences!

The army, knowing the consequences but still doing so, obviously had great confidence in taking over the Plague City. The Princess, Zhou Qichen, and General Qin all knew that the army sent this time was definitely an elite force.

But the three of them racked their brains but couldn't figure out when such an elite army appeared in the capital.

When the eldest princess climbed up the city wall and saw the commander-in-chief leading the troops.

My head suddenly buzzed.

Pei Changying is crazy!!!

"Princess, something terrible has happened! The Emperor has actually sent his iron-blooded troops stationed at the border!"

"Crazy! Crazy! Did the emperor's brain get stepped on by a pig? This is a group of well-equipped and experienced tigers and wolves!"

"Let's put that aside for now. Let's just talk about how this group of fierce warriors came to Plague City. They are guarding the border and are specifically used to fight against the Xiongnu."

"These 200,000 troops have left the border, so who is guarding the border?"

"What on earth is the emperor of the court thinking?" The counselor next to him was so angry that his lips turned pale, and he kept cursing Pei Shengying in his heart.

Without this group of fierce and powerful troops, wouldn't the Huns be able to march straight into the Central Plains?

After seeing General Guan who was leading the team, Zhou Qichen and General Qin were so surprised that their jaws almost dropped to the ground, even though they were experienced and knowledgeable.

Even if the current emperor came in person, they would not be so surprised!

The appearance of General Guan made the three of them feel extremely angry and speechless.

The eldest princess, General Qin, and Zhou Qichen looked at each other, none of them knowing how to fight this battle.

They are a group of good men who defend their country. They are away from their families and guard the border. Facing them, the eldest princess really can't bear to use guns and cannons to fight against them.

But if they were not used, the Plague City army had only been trained in combat for a short time, and the next batch of soldiers joining the Plague City army might not be a match for this group of battle-hardened and powerful soldiers.

He immediately invited Fang Moushi, Xu Shiye and others to come over, and everyone discussed countermeasures together.

Before they could come up with a good plan, the fierce and powerful army was already at the gates of the city.

The eldest princess and Zhou Qichen stood on the city wall, looking down at General Guan.

Zhou Qichen shouted at General Guan, "General Guan, you've always been stationed at the border, why are you here in Plague City?"

"The princess does not wish to be an enemy of you or these soldiers stationed at the border."

"After all, this is just a royal dispute. Why would General Guan want to get involved in this mess?"

General Guan is already fifty years old and is a well-known figure of Zhou Qichen's father's generation.

Zhou Qichen naturally respected him very much.

On General Guan's weather-beaten and tense face, a pair of sharp eagle-like eyes filled with brilliance were fixed on Zhou Qichen.

He snorted coldly, his tone disgusted: "It's only been a few years since we last met, and your Zhou family has become a traitor."

"Since I'm an old acquaintance of the Zhou family, I'll give you a chance. Open the city gate immediately. Otherwise, don't blame me for not recognizing you on the battlefield!"

Zhou Qichen looked back at the eldest princess, his handsome young face full of helplessness.

It seems that this battle must be fought!

Seeing that Zhou Qichen did not respond, General Guan did not wait any longer and immediately ordered the attack on the city.

The eldest princess took a few steps back to prevent sudden arrows from the enemy.

"Forget it. Now that things have come to this, self-preservation is paramount."

"Qi Chen, prepare to throw the grenade."

Boxes of simple grenades had already been moved to the city wall and distributed to the soldiers on the wall.

After Zhou Qichen gave the order, the soldiers lit the grenades, and hundreds of grenades flew towards the enemy like meteors of fire.

"What, what is that?"

"General Guan, what's flying in the sky? And it's carrying sparks?"

"Scatter! Scatter first!"

After a brief panic, the army spread out in an orderly manner. When someone was hit by a grenade, another soldier immediately filled the gap in the formation.

The first use of grenades did not cause much casualties to the enemy.

It’s not that grenades are not powerful, but for this group of battle-hardened and powerful troops, the loss of grenades can be reduced to a minimum.

The eldest princess raised her hand and ordered the grenades to stop being thrown.

At this time, General Qin had already opened the city gate and led his soldiers to charge forward.

Looking at General Qin leading his troops out to fight, the soldiers behind him formed a strange formation to fight.

Looking at this formation he had never seen before, General Guan became a little wary and did not rashly lead his troops to charge.

Immediately afterwards, a dozen black things were pushed out from inside.
