Chapter 619: Group Attack
There will always be brave men when there is a big reward. Hundreds of archers surrounded Chen Qingqing, drew their bows and arrows, ready to attack her at any time.
"Princess Anyang, you are surrounded. Put down your weapons and follow us obediently."
The sudden change startled the Anyang soldiers, who were instantly panicked. The leading general shouted at them,
"Let our princess go quickly, or I'll make you feel the effects of a grenade."
"Come on, throw it as hard as you can if you are not afraid of killing your good princess!" the archers of the Northern Yi Kingdom shouted.
The soldiers in Anyang were in a dilemma. If they used grenades, the princess would definitely be injured or killed, so they did not dare to take the risk.
Chen Qingqing had expected this result. If the Northern Barbarians were truly trustworthy, they would not have betrayed their promise and attacked Daning.
Her expression was calm as she ordered her soldiers, "Everyone, retreat back to the city immediately. No one is allowed to leave without my order."
"Princess...we can't leave..."
"Stop talking nonsense and go back quickly. Anyone who disobeys orders will be punished by military law!" Chen Qingqing's face was stern and his voice did not allow for any further discussion.
The soldiers didn't want to leave, but they couldn't go against the princess's wishes, so they turned their horses reluctantly and ran towards the Anyang city gate...
Seeing all the soldiers return to the city, Chen Qingqing curled her lips into a smile, raised her hand grenade, and shouted to the Beiyi soldiers, "Everyone retreat, or I don't mind dying with you."
The soldiers and generals of the Northern Barbarians had already witnessed the power of the hidden weapons in Chen Qingqing's hands. They were filled with fear from the bottom of their hearts and did not dare to act rashly.
Chen Qingqing hasn't lived enough, how could she take risks?
In fact, she had already thought of a way to return to the city. She had a set of outdoor rock climbing tiger claws on her wrists, and a rope of dozens of meters that could be retracted.
Just press the button to fire a spear-like bullet, and she can easily grab a building on the city wall and fix it. Press the mechanism again and she can fly.
She didn't care at all about being surrounded by archers from the Northern Yi Kingdom.
Barahu suppressed his fear, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and smiled coldly with a crooked mouth, "Princess Anyang, I advise you to stop struggling in vain and put down the hidden weapon in your hand. Otherwise, even if you keep wasting time like this, I will still exhaust you to death."
"Really? I'm afraid I'll disappoint you." Chen Qingqing curled her lips into a smile, with sarcasm in her eyes.
It happened so fast, with a whoosh sound,
A rope slipped out from her wrist and quickly shot towards the Anyang city wall. Then a figure rushed out from the encirclement and quickly flew towards the city wall...
The soldiers and generals of the Northern Barbarians were completely dumbfounded. Is this a human? No, this is a god!
When he saw Chen Qingqing flying out, Barhu was so angry that his nose was crooked. He stretched his neck and yelled loudly, "Quickly shoot, don't let her run away, shoot her to death!"
When Zhou Jingyuan saw Chen Qingqing trapped by the enemy, his heart instantly rose to his throat.
If anything happened to Princess Anyang, he would probably be dead soon.
No, even if I risk my life, I can't let Princess Anyang get into trouble.
Just as he was about to give the order to open the city gate, he saw Chen Qingqing flying up like a phoenix and landing steadily on the city wall.
"Master Zhou, quickly give the order to fire the artillery shells."
"Yes, Princess." Zhou Jingyuan didn't care about anything else and hurriedly ordered his soldiers to ignite and fire the cannonballs.
boom......
Boom boom.....
Boom boom boom...
As the shells were fired, the soldiers of the Northern Yi Kingdom were frightened by the deafening sound of the artillery and were at a loss as to what to do. They stared blankly with terrified eyes, waiting for death.
Chen Qingqing showed a sneer of contempt at the corner of his mouth and shouted loudly to the enemy troops under the city wall,
"This is a small lesson for you. If you know what's good for you, get out of Daning immediately. If you dare to invade again, you will never return!"
"Okay, I'll let you go crazy. Just wait for me. When we capture Anyang, I will tear you into pieces to relieve the hatred in my heart!" Barhu shouted, but he was actually scared. He was afraid that Chen Qingqing would do something strange and jump on the warhorse and run away.
Zhou Jingyuan snorted lightly upon seeing this and looked at Chen Qingqing, "Your Highness is truly mighty. She even injured two enemy generals. I bet they won't dare to act rashly again this time."
Chen Qingqing didn't think so. The enemy was not stupid. If they got caught off guard and attacked in droves, Anyang would be in danger.
She shook her head and said, "Master Zhou, don't be too happy too soon. Don't be careless in anything. Transport all the manufactured firearms to the front of the city in case of emergency."
"Don't worry, Princess. All firearms, bows and arrows are ready, just waiting for the enemy to attack."
"Okay, give the order. Have the blacksmiths, artillery officers, and mechanical craftsmen speed up the production of firearms. Work must not stop until reinforcements arrive."
"Yes, I will send someone to give instructions right away."

Xi Yuelei and the others saw the scene clearly and were all stunned.
"What kind of hidden weapon is this? Why can it spit fire?" Gao Lizhu couldn't help but ask Barhu who had rushed back out of curiosity.
Barag was still in shock, and it took him a while to recover. "This person is simply a witch. I was almost burned to death by the fire stick in her hand."
Xi Yuelei was stunned. "What, a fire stick?"
"No, I mean the fire-breathing thing in her hand looked like a fire stick," Barhu said, sighing deeply. "That thing was so powerful that before I could figure out what was going on, a fire dragon was coming towards me. Luckily, I reacted quickly and rolled on the ground to put out the fire. Otherwise, I would have been burned to charcoal by now."
"It's hard to imagine that a weak woman could have such great abilities." Xi Yuelei frowned and looked at Nangong Jin, "Do you want to meet the scheming Princess Anyang again?"
"No, no, I don't need to go anymore." Nangong Jin waved his hands repeatedly, secretly thanking himself that he hadn't rushed to fight just now, otherwise he would have been burned. "Brother Xiyue, in my opinion, we are no match for them if we fight alone. It's better to force the city and take Anyang in one fell swoop."
Xi Yuelei pondered for a moment and nodded, "Brother Nangong is right. They have hidden weapons that can spit fire and explode. We are no match for them if we fight alone. The best strategy is to use our numbers to defeat the few."
Barag nodded in agreement, "A vicious tiger cannot stop a pack of wolves, and a hero cannot stand up to a large number of people. In terms of military strength, the enemy is weak and we are strong. Why are we still talking nonsense with them? Let's just do it."
Xiyue Lei realized the seriousness of the problem. Princess Anyang was not an ordinary woman. She was cunning and elusive.
If they continue to waste time like this, once Chu Jiuqing's reinforcements arrive, the four-nation coalition will be attacked from all sides and will ultimately be doomed.
Thinking of this, he shouted,
"Pass on my orders. Prepare all catapults and concentrate firepower to bombard the city walls. Infantry, armed with shields, will guard the front. Archers will follow closely behind to suppress the enemy troops on the walls. Cavalry will stand by in the rear. Once the city is breached, they will charge immediately."
"Understood!" The generals responded in unison and quickly went to their respective camps to prepare...
