The Western barbarian leader made up his mind: tomorrow, he would send his entire army to capture Shacheng and make a swift victory!
In Shacheng, early that morning, Chu Heng felt his eyelids twitching uncontrollably, and he thought to himself that the war situation might have changed, which was not good.
He took You Ran to the City God Temple and discussed with her on the way whether they could exchange some arrows. Calculating the days, reinforcements would arrive in two or three days, and the Western barbarian bandits would probably make a desperate gamble and forcefully attack the city. Of the three thousand defenders of Shacheng, only a little over five hundred were still alive and well; most of the rest were seriously injured, and their weapons were almost completely exhausted.
Looking at the massive apocalyptic weapons on the panel, each with tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of luck points, he could only feel a heart attack.
We need to exchange supplies every day, and right now we only have less than 2,000 luck points left. Exchanging weapons in the short term is just a drop in the bucket.
Chu Heng said, "I have already sent people to the city to gather the people for a gratitude ceremony. You will see the results in a little while."
You Ran was delighted, but still hesitated, "There are over 100,000 Western barbarian soldiers below the city. Even if they have weapons, one, two, or a few of them probably wouldn't be of much use... Besides, even a low-level firearm would cost at least 30,000..."
Too expensive!
Chu Heng was taken aback. "What are firearms?"
You Ran then explained the differences between cold weapons and firearms.
Chu Heng was quite surprised to hear this, but still asked, "Even if we don't have firearms, it would be good to exchange them for arrows, rolling stones, hot oil, or something like that."
The best weapons for defending a city are arrows and stones.
You Ran started searching and suddenly discovered that the cheapest type of Molotov cocktail, specifically designed for zombies in the apocalypse, cost only 1 point of luck.
If paired with a hot air balloon...
In this era of cold weapons, it was absolutely a weapon capable of annihilating an army of hundreds of thousands in an instant!
The fuel used is a compressed gaseous fuel, and one bottle can cover ten square meters.
She gestured on the ground to indicate an area of about ten square meters and asked Chu Heng, "If this is considered one area, how many areas are there in the Western Barbarian Camp in total?"
Chu Heng did a quick mental calculation and estimated, "There are more than 1,000."
You Ran glanced at her luck value and was surprised to find that it had already increased to six thousand in just a quarter of an hour.
So she made up her mind to first exchange 2,000 Molotov cocktails, and then exchange them for ten hot air balloons.
Then they summoned Yun Tianbai and found twenty or thirty soldiers skilled in mechanical techniques.
Then, wearing a veil, You Ran trained all of these dozens of people, including Jia Nan, who was very interested.
Chu Heng designated Yun Tianbai as the leader of the surprise attack team and devised a midnight raid plan.
At midnight, Yun Tianbai led his team and slowly raised the hot air balloon into the sky.
The Western barbarian bandits also devised a plan to launch a surprise attack on Shacheng at dawn the next day. They intended to rest and recuperate tonight, so they went to bed early.
Around midnight, the Western soldiers on night duty noticed something floating overhead.
The night watchman, who did not recognize the man, was filled with suspicion and called his comrades to come and see.
The night watchmen who recognized it recognized it immediately. Wasn't this the thing that had drifted into Sand City a few days ago?
It seems that Shacheng can't hold out any longer and is about to send a message out again.
However, it was just a message; they couldn't stop it, so they could only watch helplessly.
However, when something was suddenly thrown down from that thing and hit the ground with a "bang," causing several large tents around it to catch fire instantly, the night watchmen screamed and ran in all directions to report the news to the commander's tent.
Then came the second... the third...
The sparks were strange; even a tiny bit on clothing would quickly ignite.
In an instant, countless people in the camp fled from the sea of fire, howling for help.
On the city wall of Shacheng, Yun Zhao watched in shock as the flames rose from the Western barbarian camps below.
Who was the City God? He had a vague guess that he dared not make.
Several of his lieutenants were inquiring about it, but he directly passed the buck to the Crown Prince.
Chu Heng did not climb the city wall to witness it in person, but with Jia Nan's live broadcast, he roughly knew that in less than an hour, the entire Western barbarian camp was burned down and the rebel soldiers scattered and fled.
He was deeply shocked and gained a more intuitive understanding of the "firearms" that You Ran had mentioned.
But this further strengthened his resolve to protect You Ran.
The next morning, the rapid spread of an event shattered the worldview of the people of Shacheng.
It is said that the City God Bodhisattva manifested again last night, sending down heavenly fire to repel the Western barbarian bandits.
Everyone rushed to the city wall to look over, only to find that the hundreds of thousands of Western barbarian soldiers who had once besieged the city were gone, as were the densely packed tents. In their place were ashes and lingering smoke.
Some soldiers opened the city gates to investigate, and the result they reported back was that the Western barbarian bandits who had besieged Shacheng for half a month had been almost completely wiped out overnight, and most of their bodies had been burned to ashes.
What kind of power could burn hundreds of thousands of bandits to ashes?
Who else could it be but the City God Bodhisattva manifesting his power?!
The whole city erupted in cheers and jubilation.
The cries of gratitude to the City God grew louder and louder.
When I woke up, I found that my luck value had miraculously exceeded 100,000.
She knew it was the gratitude of the soldiers and civilians who had relieved the siege of Shacheng.
I suddenly felt like a rich woman.
hey-hey.
She planned to check on Chu Heng's injuries one last time today. If he wasn't seriously injured, she could prepare to make her escape.
Just as he reached Chu Heng's door and was about to push it open, he heard Jia Nan's voice from inside, "Your Highness, the County Princess possesses such extraordinary abilities. Marrying her would surely be a blessing for the Great Zhou. Now that you have obtained an imperial decree to grant us this marriage, what are you still hesitating for?!"
Chu Heng coughed twice before sighing, "I just don't want to force her. Everything should be done with her consent. Let's wait and see."
Jia Nan panicked, "Your Highness!"
You Ran retreated quickly; the blank imperial decree of marriage she had seen last time was indeed aimed at her!
She quickly returned to her room, packed her bags, and immediately rode a horse out of the city from the general's mansion.
In the past few days, Yun Tianbai has been intentionally or unintentionally trying to curry favor with her, and her second brother seems to have noticed something.
Where can I find a husband to get engaged to? Urgent!
However, as soon as they left the city, they saw a dark mass of soldiers marching in orderly formation towards the city.
He reined in his horse and turned his head to look. Who else could it be but his second uncle, Yunzhao, standing on the city wall?
When Yun Zhao saw You Ran, he laughed loudly, "You Ran, even if your father were to come, you don't need to be in such a hurry!"
You Ran breathed a sigh of relief; it turned out that her father, Yun Yue, had led reinforcements.
