As wisps of blue smoke rose up.
The dozens of shells roared away.
The cavalrymen all huddled together, and they all fled into the distance, crowding the mountain road.
There's no need to aim at all.
One shot can wipe out a whole group.
"First, bombard me with solid shot, then switch to explosive shells."
Ling Yunzhi, Chen Feilong, and their artillerymen were all rigorously trained.
These people can fire 20 to 30 shells per minute.
This vehicle is equipped with more than 100 cannons alone.
If they wanted to, they could fire thousands of shells in a minute.
The booming sound of cannons filled the air.
The shells rained down on the enemy like a meteor shower.
Every shell that hit the crowd carved a bloody path.
Wherever the shells passed, men and horses were smashed to pieces.
They fired six or seven hundred shells in just one minute.
Most of the cannonballs hit the cavalrymen in the beacon-strewn city.
Some cavalrymen were smashed in two.
Some cavalry horses had their legs broken by the impact.
Many cavalrymen were also hit, more than once.
The scene was horrific, with corpses strewn everywhere.
Screams, cries, and wails were heard everywhere.
As soon as the flames of war reached the city, I could feel the shells whistling overhead.
People kept falling down nearby.
This guy's arrogance has completely vanished.
Feng Huoliancheng hunched over, crawling on his horse like a mouse as he galloped wildly.
Then dozens more exploding bombs were fired.
These dozens of shells exploded violently near Feng Huo Lian Cheng.
A series of loud explosions rang out.
He could dodge solid bombs amidst the flames of war, but he couldn't dodge explosive bombs.
The guy only felt waves of pain all over his body.
He was so frightened that he didn't dare to stop and ran wildly for fifty or sixty miles before finally stopping.
Feng Huoliancheng looked back; there were fewer than 800 people who had run out with him.
These people were all covered in blood.
The same applies to cities engulfed in flames of war.
They didn't know if the blood on them was their own or someone else's.
[Ding, Rage value from the City of Beacon Fire +5322]
[Ding, Yuwen Chengdu's rage value +9521]
[Ding, from...]
The system notification sound kept ringing.
Yuwen Chengdu's 5,000 men were wiped out.
Of the 5,000 men under Feng Huo Lian Cheng, half were killed, half were wounded, and fewer than 800 escaped with him.
Jiang Tian saw that these bastards had given him over 500,000 more points of anger.
Soon you'll be able to exchange for generals again.
Jiang Tian quickly opened the system.
He slid down to the military officer's side.
However, he was somewhat disappointed that the icon for the military generals was not flashing.
The vehicle slowly came to a stop outside Jianmen Pass.
"Li Yuanba, why don't you take some men and go look around?"
“Yes…” Li Yuanba respectfully placed Yuwen Chengdu’s golden armor and phoenix-winged gilded halberd in front of Jiang Tian. “My lord, these are what I peeled off that big guy.”
That kid tried to hurt you. I didn't give him the chance.
After saying that, Li Yuanba jumped onto his horse and galloped away, brandishing his two large hammers.
Shangguan Wan'er, along with more than a dozen palace ladies, set up camp and erected tents.
It was already dusk.
Natalia moved a deck chair out and placed it by the roadside.
“My lord, this used to be a lake.” Shangguan Wan’er walked over and pointed to a depression in front of her.
The depression was filled with withered reeds.
These reeds are already dry, but when a gust of wind blows, the reed flowers sway and look quite beautiful.
We are getting closer and closer to the capital.
Shangguan Wan'er, the young girl, walked over with a tender look in her eyes.
"With Lord Jiang saving His Majesty this time, His Majesty can rest easy."
"Sit..." Jiang Tian gestured towards the recliner next to him with his lips. Shangguan Wan'er gave Jiang Tian a curtsy before sitting down.
It's clear that this little girl is wearing very light makeup today.
Like a lotus emerging from clear water, naturally beautiful without any artifice.
This little girl is very skilled, and there's a spirited and indomitable air about her between her brows.
Shangguan Wan'er and Nangong Qianyu are completely different types of people.
Nangong Qianyu is a lady from a prominent family.
Besides being a lady from a prominent family, Shangguan Wan'er also possessed a bold and forthright nature.
Jiang Tian picked up a glass of soda and carefully examined Shangguan Wan'er in front of him.
This young girl's figure is not as slender as Nangong Qianyu's. Shangguan Wan'er's height is at most 1.68 meters.
However, this young girl exuded an indescribable air of wealth and privilege.
There is still a difference between a lady from a respectable family and a daughter from a wealthy and powerful family.
"Drink some water..." Jiang Tian pushed the glass of soda in front of Shangguan Wan'er.
The young girl didn't stand on ceremony; she picked up the water glass, brought it to her cherry-like lips, and took a small sip.
"Lord Jiang, we encountered enemies twice on the road today. I'm sure it must be the Grand Secretary..."
"Even if Pang Hao comes in person, so what?" Jiang Tian dismissed Pang Hao's strength with disdain.
"My lord, you shouldn't underestimate Pang Da's strength. Pang Da's cabinet has been in power for over a decade now."
His students and former subordinates are all over the world.
“Anyone who opposes me, Jiang Tian, I will eliminate them one by one. I will chop off Pang Hao’s head as I would chop off Pang De’s head myself.”
Shangguan Wan'er steered the conversation elsewhere.
The young girl sized up Jiang Tian.
Jiang Tian's intense gaze made the young girl quickly look away.
Jiang Tian beckoned with his finger: "Come sit over here."
Shangguan Wan'er wanted to say something, but she didn't dare to refuse.
As soon as the little girl stood up, Natalia and Yelia moved Shangguan Wan'er's chair next to Jiang Tian.
Before Shangguan Wan'er could even sit down, Jiang Tian suddenly pulled on her skirt, and Shangguan Wan'er instantly sat on Jiang Tian's lap.
"Lord Jiang, please don't do this." The young girl blushed and lowered her head, her voice barely audible even to herself.
"What? Are you scared?"
The little girl nodded, then shook her head.
That coy, alluring manner is truly captivating.
"What's there to be afraid of? I'm not going to eat you." Jiang Tian laughed. "Let's talk freely here tonight and have a good chat."
Shangguan Wan'er turned her head to the side and nodded gently: "My lord, you are the person His Majesty has chosen. Wan'er would never dare to have any improper thoughts about you."
"Am I the one he's interested in? And whether I'm interested in her or not, that's up to me to decide."
Jiang Tian snapped his fingers.
Everyone quickly moved aside.
Before the two had a chance to chat, a large number of refugees arrived from not far away.
These refugees were all ragged and had their families with them.
Jiang Tian discovered that there were several thousand people among these people.
