As soon as he finished speaking, countless enemy soldiers launched another attack, rushing towards the city wall.
They erected ladders, lit fires, shot arrows, and rammed the city gate with pillars as thick as two men, attempting to breach the city and launch a strong attack.
However, they discovered that the walls of Liangcheng were not only as hard as iron, but also several meters higher, making it impossible for their ladders to climb up.
Even when they reached the top, they were brutally shot down by countless women dressed in black and wielding nail guns.
Blood splattered everywhere, and corpses piled up like mountains beneath the city walls.
Without hesitation, Qin Yuezhao, seeing that the time was ripe, immediately ordered the archers, "Light the fire!"
At this command, countless flames shot into the sky and exploded violently among the crowd.
Before the massive army could react, they were blasted to their deaths by bursts of blasting cannons.
The rockets blinded them, injured their skin and legs, and sprayed scalding fireworks into their faces, burning them until their skin was torn and they screamed in agony.
Nan Chengfeng was blown to the ground and tried to escape, but was trampled hard on the back by the frightened horse and was trampled into the sand pit.
Upon seeing this, the enemy troops, who had been in high spirits, panicked and ran back desperately.
However, it was all too late.
A burst of fire shot into the sky, shaking the entire battlefield.
"Boom!"
Gas cylinders buried under the main battlefield shot up like a volcanic eruption, their flames illuminating the entire Liangcheng, stirring up the scalding mortar, and sending tens of thousands of Southern Army soldiers flying.
"Ah! There are earth dragons below the main battlefield too! Everyone, run!"
"Help! Help—"
Almost simultaneously, a deafening muffled sound suddenly came from the canyon less than five kilometers from the main gate of Liangcheng.
Nan Chengfeng led the Nan family army and followed Huo Zichu to the side of Liangcheng, intending to enter Liangcheng through the caves and secret passages in the forest.
Unexpectedly, Qin Yuezhao had already obtained the locations of all the secret passages from Chen Yan.
Chen Yan and Han Tianba led their troops to guard the cave entrance, using explosives to blast the attacking enemy soldiers to smithereens.
The battle lasted all night.
The artillery fire turned half the battlefield into daylight, and the Nan family army was bombed to pieces, with only 20,000 soldiers remaining.
While cleaning up the battlefield, Qin Yue Zhao personally led people to drag the barely alive Nan Cheng Feng out of the pile of corpses and tied him up to the city wall.
"Nan Chengfeng, do you know your crime?"
Nan Chengfeng's spine was broken by a horse, and he slumped down against the city wall, still laughing defiantly.
"Heh, admit guilt? It's all about the victors and the vanquished. What crime have I committed?"
"What crime have you committed?"
Qin Yue Zhao stood tall on the city wall, her cloak swaying in the wind behind her.
"You betrayed your country for personal gain, disregarding the lives of the people of Liangcheng; you are ungrateful, disregarding the lives of the Nan family army; you are disloyal and unfilial, disregarding the safety of General Nan. Do you dare to say you are innocent?"
"Hahaha, father? Nan Qiming is not worthy to be my father!"
Nan Chengfeng gritted his teeth, "Just because I'm born out of wedlock, I'll always be looked down upon by that old bastard Nan Qiming. If I hadn't killed my elder brother, he wouldn't have even taken me to war! Why should I acknowledge him as my father?"
"Qin Yue Zhao, you are the Ninth Princess of the Great Gan Dynasty, yet you were raised in your maternal grandparents' home, unloved by your father and mother. Do you dare say you have no hatred in your heart? This time, when you were besieged in Liang City, His Majesty turned a blind eye and a deaf ear. Do you dare say you don't hate him?"
"We are all the same, living for ourselves, what crime have I committed?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Yue Zhao's eyes darkened, and she suddenly raised her long sword. With a "whoosh" sound, blood splattered three feet, staining her red cloak.
"It's true that you should live for yourself, but those who climb over the bones of others deserve to be killed!"
Nan Chengfeng froze, his breath weak but still carrying a sinister smile: "The...the Crown Prince, no...we won't...let you go."
Qin Yue Zhao sneered, "Don't bother, I have the protection of the gods, and you will all go to hell!"
