Catapults, archers, vanguards.

March, deploy, charge.

There are only a few methods for attacking a city, nothing new.

The counterattack by the defenders was not unexpected. They either threw bombs or fired guns, and almost no longer used old-fashioned weapons.

Li Wencheng watched from a distance, envious of these weapons.

"Have you found out where they were minted?"

The deputy general replied, "Qin Mu has built the northwest of Haizhou as tight as an iron barrel. Our people cannot penetrate."

"It's okay. After this battle, everything is mine."

He couldn't wait to get these weapons, and defeating the court would be a piece of cake.

What followed was a long offensive and defensive battle, with both sides fighting back and forth and neither giving in.

Half a day later, Li Wencheng sent the Flying Dragon Army to launch a surprise attack, but failed and suffered heavy losses from the rapid-fire guns.

As night fell, the attacking side called off their troops, and the first day of the war came to an end.

…

[Master, according to your prediction, how long will the war last?]

Chen An said: "You may not believe it, but it will be over after dawn."

[It's really hard to believe. Could it be that Qin Mu used some unconventional trick?]

"It wasn't him who used a trick, it was Li Wencheng. As I've said before, sometimes the more you do, the more mistakes you make. He's really messed up. I can't reveal any more details because I'm worried about the impact on the future."

[We are isolated from the outside world in a two-dimensional membrane. As long as we don't tell Qin Mu, it won't actually affect us.]

"Times aren't that simple, it's better to be cautious."

Chen An rested in the macro universe, waiting to see the show.

At two o'clock in the morning, Fuyao released the picture.

[It turns out that there was an insider in Xuanwu City who was colluding with Li Wencheng. He had recently set fire to the arsenal, causing Qin Mu to suffer heavy losses.]

Li Wencheng took this opportunity to launch a general attack and sent a large number of experts into the city, including those at the seventh level, in an attempt to carry out a decapitation operation.

[Master, no matter how you look at it, Qin Mu is bound to lose.]

Chen An smiled and said, "That kid may not have considered everything, but he is calm and quick to react. Don't worry, the situation is not out of control."

…

To be honest, Qin Mu was still very panicked.

He did not expect the arsenal to be bombed, nor did he expect the enemy to carry out a decapitation operation, putting him in danger.

At this moment, the arrogant seventh-level old man suppressed the entire audience and was extremely arrogant.

"Qin Mu, right? Considering my connection with the Qin family, I'll spare your life if you surrender."

Qin Mu raised his hands tremblingly and said aggrievedly, "You win, I surrender. But senior, can you convince Prince Yi to let me go?"

"Haha, of course."

The atmosphere relaxed, and the old man went down and tried to capture Qin Mu.

However, just as he got close, Qin Mu suddenly drew his sword.

The sword flashed a scarlet light, carrying the cool moonlight.

"You...you are the star..."

The old man covered his neck with his hands. He never expected that after being cautious all his life, he would end up in a ditch.

This sword is incredibly fast and cannot be stopped.

The old man turned and flew away, and it was unclear whether he was dead or alive.

Qin Mu did not chase after him. He turned around and gave the order: "All Thunder God Cannons are released. Fire indiscriminately at the outside of the city and consume all the ammunition."

Because he knew that these artillery pieces could not be protected and would be destroyed by enemy experts.

Then he issued other orders: "Unleash the God-killing Spear and shoot down any experts who break into the city."

This gun is currently the most advanced product, capable of killing people at the fifth level of the Ascension Realm.

Boom boom boom!

Shells were fired into the positions outside the city, which were all densely populated areas.

Accompanied by the explosion, countless people were reduced to ashes and their body parts were scattered everywhere.

Just one round of artillery fire scared the enemy into silence.

Li Wencheng trembled. "What kind of weapon is this? It's even more lethal than a Star-Picking Realm expert."

The extraordinary people in the Ascension Realm are unable to condense super-energy rays and almost all fight with their physical bodies, so from the scene, they are far inferior to the Thor Cannon.

"My Lord, shall we still attack?"

Li Wencheng's face twisted as he said fiercely, "Continue the attack, find the location of those weapons, and destroy them all."

Boom boom boom!

The second round of shelling began, and a large amount of red smoke, accompanied by blood and flesh, exploded outside the city.

The ensuing war had nothing to do with ordinary soldiers; masters from both sides fought for control on the city walls.

One side wanted to destroy the Thor's Cannon, while the other side wanted to protect it, so a bloody battle ensued.

They persevered in this way for ten rounds of artillery fire, which finally broke Li Wencheng's psychological defenses and ordered a withdrawal.

In fact, if they had persisted for a while longer, Qin Mu would have ordered them to abandon their artillery and retreat to the inner city.

This is what information asymmetry is like in war, and it is easy to miss many opportunities.

"General, shall we chase them?" Liu Bi asked.

Qin Mu shook his head and ordered, "Catch up in half an hour."

“But then they ran away.”

"I'm just giving them a chance to run. If we chase them too hastily now, it will only inspire them to fight to the death."

…

In the Yi Wang army camp, Li Wencheng was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

"My Lord, that weapon is like divine thunder descending upon the world. We must not resist it. I suggest withdrawing to Quanzhou and sending people to infiltrate secretly to find out the situation of the weapon."

Li Wencheng nodded and asked, "How many soldiers have you gathered now?"

"It's too chaotic at night. There are only 100,000 people, and more soldiers are gathering towards us."

However, not long after, urgent information arrived.

"Qin Mu gathered 100,000 men and chased them out, armed with those weapons."

Li Wencheng decisively ordered to continue the retreat, and the remaining soldiers were allowed to run as many as possible, as his core force could not be lost here.

In fact, after chasing for twenty kilometers, Qin Mu ordered the main force to go back and clean up the battlefield, and he continued to chase with 20,000 cavalry.

"Senior, you are truly as foresighted as a god. They really did head towards the Broken Soul Mountains."

Chen An said, "When the enemy reaches the Broken Soul Mountains, they will be extremely tired. They will set up camp on the spot and relax their vigilance. Do you know what to do?"

Qin Mu nodded: "If Lan Yu helps us, we can completely wipe out the enemy. This battle will definitely be a great victory."

Chen An really wanted to smack him on the head and said, "Rebels are rebels against everyone. Ordinary soldiers don't have that much loyalty to Prince Yi. I want you to find a way to kill Li Wencheng in public and then subdue this army. Do you understand?"

"I see. Senior is indeed a foresighted person. He must have been a leader of high rank in the past."

"That's true. I am indeed a leader. I have commanded wars you wouldn't even dare to imagine."

"A million people?"

"Ten billion."

Qin Mu was shocked. "Senior, you're exaggerating a bit. Speaking of which, how did you, such an awesome person, end up like this?"

"Pursue the limit, seek the path to ultimate strength. Perhaps you will understand it later, or perhaps... you won't."

He didn't know how high Qin Mu could go.

If Qin Mu wants to know what level Chen An is at and what he is doing, he must break through the Star Devouring Realm.

But judging from the current situation, it is almost impossible for him to break through the Star Devouring Realm.

"Senior, I will work hard and hope you can always help me."

"When you say this, it proves that you are destined to never catch up with me."

Qin Mu was silent for a long time before sighing, "Thank you for your guidance, senior."
