Unfortunately, Prince Hegi and Mog disagreed on whether to attack Liangcheng.
Mog believed in a swift and decisive victory, aiming to eliminate both the people of Liangcheng and the Huo family army.
Prince Heji, however, was reluctant to part with Qin Yuezhao and wanted to take advantage of the siege to subdue the Huo family army and use the legend of the goddess Qin Yuezhao to unify the nine kingdoms.
Some people looked down on Mog's strategist and immediately retorted, "Bullshit! That wretched place, Liangcheng, could produce something like this?"
Heji also had some doubts and turned to look at his deputy.
"We haven't killed the Wei and Liang spies we captured before, have we? We'll use torture to extract their confessions and see if they're going to oppose me."
The lieutenant, unable to contain himself any longer, glared fiercely at Mog and Akhan.
Those troublemakers are troublemakers. They insisted on leading their troops to launch a surprise attack on Liangcheng, and as a result, their entire army was wiped out.
Now they're taking out their anger on their own soldiers—what a show-off!
However, before he could even run out of the tent, he was knocked to the ground by a figure.
"Report—"
"Report to Prince Heji—"
"Something terrible has happened! Something terrible has happened! The garrison at East Canyon has been attacked by the enemy, and their supplies have been burned!"
"General Ahuhan was struck in the heart by an arrow fired from a distance while pursuing the enemy!"
Mog stared wide-eyed in disbelief: "What did you say?"
Ahuhan was one of his men and also his brother-in-law. How could he be dead?
"Impossible, absolutely impossible! Ahuhan is our army's bravest vanguard. Last year, he even won first place in horseback hunting. How could this be?"
"Heji, now that the Huo family army is humiliating our army like this, are you still going to try to be polite first and then resort to force?"
"If you keep hesitating, then I won't care anymore!"
Mogg turned and walked out of the camp, preparing to personally lead his troops to attack Liangcheng.
Unexpectedly, at that moment, another soldier wearing a leopard-print robe, clutching his wounded arm, came running towards them.
"Report—"
"Prince Hegi, the western camp has been attacked! All the tents have been set ablaze by will-o'-the-wisps, and the horses have all fallen into Fairy Lake Canyon in fright!"
"The other side has supernatural assistance; they managed to burn down our tents even across Fairy Lake!"
"General Fulong was shot dead before he could even leave his tent. This is the murder weapon that killed them!"
The soldier pulled a blood-stained stainless steel arrow from his pocket and tremblingly handed it to Prince Hegi.
"Refined steel! The Huo family army actually uses refined steel to make arrows? That's impossible! Da Gan currently doesn't have the technology to smelt refined steel at all."
The soldiers in charge of weapons stared wide-eyed at the arrows illuminated by the candlelight.
Even Heggie touched the bloodstains on the arrow with a look of astonishment.
He discovered that the arrows were only half the fineness of the ones they used, but their elasticity, curvature, and even their sharpness were all better.
The arrows themselves are not entirely made of fine steel.
And the feathers at the back blended perfectly with the arrow, as if they grew out of it.
What kind of technology is this?
Suddenly, a string of unfamiliar and novel words appeared before his eyes: August 17, 2024.
It's in simplified Chinese characters, which he can't understand.
He handed the arrows to Mog, "Are you sure the Huo family army has these things? If so, why didn't they use them in the previous battles?"
