Outside Xuanwu City, an army of one hundred thousand was marching forward with murderous intent.
The scorching sun shone on the earth, illuminating the oil-stained city walls.
Woo woo woo…
As the horn sounded, the army outside the city changed its formation, and various catapults were pushed to the attack point.
Soon, a general in black armor jumped out on horseback.
"Prince Yi is merciful. All you need to do is open the city and surrender. I will not kill a single soldier."
The sound was crystal clear and spread in all directions under the influence of super power.
There was a slight commotion on the city wall, but it soon calmed down.
On the command platform in the center, Qin Mu sat with great confidence, the excitement on his face was hard to conceal.
He shouted back, "Prince Yi, who are you? If you have the guts, just attack the city. I'm not afraid to tell you, there are only 5,000 people in the city, and most of them are new recruits."
These words made the general outside the city feel uneasy, wondering if there were ambushes inside the city.
After thinking for a while, he retreated to the rear center and ordered an attack on the city.
Swish, swish, swish...
Catapults hurled huge stones into the city, most of which were destroyed by the extraordinary people, and only a few were effective, causing damage to the defenders.
Under the cover of catapults, soldiers wearing heavy armor and holding shields formed a phalanx and rushed towards the city wall to protect the battering rams used to attack the city gate.
Tens of thousands of archers drew their bows and arrows, and as long as the soldiers defending the city dared to show up, they would shoot thousands of arrows.
However, strangely, the defenders did not shoot back with arrows, nor did they use other conventional means. Instead, they all retracted their heads and hid.
"Since they had been planning to give up for a long time, why didn't they just surrender?"
"Surrendering directly would damage one's reputation. Although defeat is not pleasant, at least one can save face."
"I see. This battle will be easy, and Haizhou will be easily within our grasp."
The soldiers relaxed their vigilance and even chatted and laughed with the people around them, not taking the war seriously at all.
The distance was getting closer and closer, and when there were only fifty meters left, arms suddenly stretched out from the top of the city wall.
They threw out black round pieces that looked like briquettes.
"Haha, you're just kidding, right?"
"I've never seen such a strange war."
Most of the round pieces fell to the ground, and some were caught by the soldiers, who held them in their hands and played with them carefully, preparing to take them back as trophies.
On the city wall, Qin Mu muttered in a low voice: "3, 2, 1. Bang!"
Immediately, I heard the sound of explosions one after another, echoing outside the city.
Screams and cries for help soon followed, and mixed with the loud noises, they were particularly terrifying.
Qin Mu muttered, "It's still a little weak. I have an idea. Would it be more powerful if I used spirit stones, or energy crystals, to make bombs?"
Chen An: "You want to fly before you even learn to run? Just focus on studying your gunpowder. Superb technology is not something you should be exposed to right now. Just focus on commanding the war."
Qin Mu chuckled, stood up and walked to the edge of the city wall. He saw that the air outside was filled with smoke and the thick smoke covered everything like fog.
In the two-dimensional membrane, Chen An understood the battle situation through Fuyao.
[More than 800 people were killed on the spot, and more than 1,000 others were injured to varying degrees.]
[The bomb's power is as expected, but it might not be effective against a transcendent.]
Chen An chuckled. "Let the extraordinary deal with it. It's good enough if the bombs can destroy the enemy's army. What's the enemy's reaction?"
The headquarters was in chaos. The generals were unsure of what was happening and were sending out inspectors to gather intelligence. In reality, the enemy had not suffered significant losses.
"I know the war has just begun."
…
"What? A black mass that suddenly exploded? What on earth is that?"
The inspector, sweating profusely, replied, "It seems to be some special weapon we've never seen before."
After a long moment of deliberation, the general gave the order: "There certainly aren't many weapons like that. We must hurry. Let the Flying Dragon Army take the city, and the Vanguard Army provide support."
More than ten minutes later, the attack began again.
The vanguard army advanced, suppressed by catapults and archers, while the Flying Dragon Army rushed over from both sides with extremely fast movements.
On the city wall, the commander was horrified. "General, those are Prince Yi's Flying Dragon Army, all of them are at the Tianzang Realm. They can easily scale the city walls. When we attacked Yunzhou before, we relied on them to capture the city and the stronghold."
Qin Mu said contemptuously: "Isn't it just the third level of the Ascension? It's nothing."
He waved his hand, and the messenger who had been prepared waved the flag in his hand, giving the order to a troop resting in the city.
The force consisted of only two thousand men, but they were fully armed.
He had a gun on his back, a bag full of bullets on his waist, and wore the latest armor.
"The order has arrived. Let's quickly ascend the city wall."
On the other side, the defending soldiers regularly threw bombs out, causing heavy losses to the attackers.
But because they knew that this thing could explode, the Flying Dragon Army would avoid it in advance, so there was not much loss. They easily reached the edge of the city wall and climbed upwards using their hands and feet.
Since the defenders were suppressed and unable to show up, they easily reached the top.
Excitement spread, and everyone wanted to be the first to reach the top.
However, they soon discovered that there was a black pipe facing them on the opposite side, which was very strange.
Bang!
Accompanied by dense gunfire, high-speed bullets shot towards the members of the Flying Dragon Army.
They knew this thing must be dangerous, so they either avoided it or reached out to block it.
Chichichichi…
The sound of entering the flesh came one after another.
Faced with such a powerful kinetic impact, the strength of the third level of ascension is completely insufficient.
Not to mention flesh and blood, even the hard arm bones will be shot through and then enter the chest or head.
In an instant, the enemy died in large numbers and fell straight out of the city.
"Senior, our rapid-fire rifle is very useful." Qin Mu said excitedly.
Chen An: "That's because the other side is a target. If it were a confrontation on flat ground, they would have a chance to evade, and the lethality would be much smaller than it is now."
"Haha, that's true, but I can't let the firearms troops fight the enemy on flat ground. I must find a special point. If there is no city wall to protect it, I will also send heavy troops to defend it."
"Since you have these ideas, then I feel relieved. Go ahead and do it!"
Qin Mu said, "I'm thinking about whether to use the Thunder God Cannon. Actually, I want to hide it."
Chen An did not reply. He returned to the macro universe to rest and no longer paid attention to the war whose outcome was determined.
In the next few hours, the attackers refused to give in and launched several sieges.
They believed that such powerful weapons must not be common, and as long as the attackers were large enough, they would be able to break through.
However, they didn't know how much firepower Qin Mu had accumulated over the years.
Not to mention 100,000 people, we wouldn't even be afraid of 200,000 people attacking the city.
Surrounded by an atmosphere of uncertainty, fear, and weirdness, the morale of the attackers became increasingly low, gradually on the verge of collapse.
The commander realized that the battle was hopeless and ordered a withdrawal.
However, at this moment, tens of thousands of elite cavalry emerged from the woods on the west side, completely determining the direction of the war.
Qin Mu was not wrong. There were indeed only 5,000 soldiers in the city, because more soldiers were lying in ambush outside the city, waiting for the enemy to retreat.
The enemy troops, having lost their will to fight, were unable to resist and countless of them surrendered in the chaos.
