Shen Hechuan took the two pieces of paper, glanced at them, then looked at Mao Zixiao on the ground and Guan Zhixin, who was already lifeless, and gave another instruction.
"Bury the person."
Two days later.
With a loud bang, the entire camp was thrown into chaos.
Upon hearing the commotion, Shen Hechuan rushed out and saw that one of the tents was on fire.
The people around were all lying on the ground, clearly suffering many injuries.
"What happened?"
One of the craftsmen, barely clinging to Shen Hechuan's robe, was on the verge of death.
"Your Majesty... with this, our Great Cheng will surely... achieve a great victory."
Half a month later.
Seeing that there was still no movement from the Qi side.
Meanwhile, Da Cheng has already completed the latest weapon.
Therefore, Da Cheng specially sent several soldiers who knew how to curse to hurl insults at them.
This provoked the soldiers from the Qi side to become aggressive.
However, Mo Junxing remained completely unmoved.
No matter how much the other party cursed, he remained unmoved.
Gradually, Da Cheng also stopped making any moves.
In response, Shen Hechuan chuckled softly.
"Let them come back, and be prepared for a surprise attack when they return."
Upon hearing this, Gu Erli immediately understood everything.
The next day, the Qi army suddenly launched an attack on Dacheng.
However, Da Cheng had made preparations in advance and quickly began to respond.
This time, Shen Hechuan stood on the city wall and looked at Mo Junxing from afar.
Even from this distance, they could see each other's eyes.
In the midst of their eye contact, the two sides began to fight again.
Countless arrows shot over.
However, Shen Hechuan showed no intention of leaving.
Luo Ziqian stood by and helped block the stray arrows.
Shen Hechuan drew his bow and aimed at Mo Junxing.
Mo Junxing also drew his long arrow.
The long arrows flew like the wind, finally meeting in mid-air before falling down.
Both sides also fired arrows with firecrackers attached.
The firecrackers on the Dacheng side were much larger than those on the Daqi side.
It explodes upon landing, but ultimately there isn't much of a reaction.
Mo Junxing sneered.
"Is that all you've got?"
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand.
Immediately afterwards, a dozen or so people pushed up the giant crossbow bolts.
Shen Hechuan also waved.
Upon receiving the order, Luo Ziqian immediately took out a "sphere," lit it, and threw it into a pipe.
In an instant, it flew towards the direction of Daqi.
It was accompanied by a loud "bang".
The bomb landed on the large crossbow of the Great Qi, exploding into huge sparks.
The massive crossbow, weighing a thousand pounds, shattered into pieces in an instant.
The surrounding soldiers were also blown into the air and fell to the ground in the blink of an eye.
"Our crossbow is broken! Our crossbow is broken!"
Someone in the crowd cried out in surprise, instantly causing panic among the surrounding soldiers.
Mo Junxing was shocked and looked at the scene in disbelief. Finally, his gaze fell on Shen Hechuan on the city wall.
Behind Shen Hechuan, Luo Ziqian and Gu Erli clapped their hands happily.
"pretty!"
"This is just an appetizer; the real power comes later."
Shen Hechuan asked him to come over.
“Go and shout at them to retreat, or else throw a second one.”
Luo Ziqian was puzzled. "Why ask? Just throw it away and see what they have to say."
Shen Hechuan shook his head.
"This is too damaging; if too much is used..."
Shen Hechuan didn't say much more, but Luo Ziqian already understood.
Shen Hechuan was too kind.
Luo Ziqian immediately shouted, "Listen up, people of Daqi! If you withdraw your troops now, there is still room for negotiation."
However, if you remain obstinate, we will certainly not let you off the hook.
"This second shell will surely leave you with nothing but bones."
Luo Ziqian's words echoed above the soldiers of Daqi.
The soldiers of Daqi looked at each other in bewilderment.
The general of Daqi had never seen anything like this before, and he was extremely flustered. He couldn't help but look at Mo Junxing.
Mo Junxing looked at Shen Hechuan on the city wall and remained silent for a moment.
Seeing that he didn't speak, the general beside him whispered, "They don't know where they got this thing from either."
"However, I don't believe that so many things could be obtained in such a short time. I suppose there's only one of them, which is just there to scare us."
Otherwise, why didn't they just blow it up, but instead asked us?
As soon as he finished speaking, a loud bang was heard, and another shell fell.
This time, the shell landed beside the soldier.
It was indeed much larger than the previous one, and even from the side, it still injured quite a few soldiers.
However, judging from this position alone, it is clear that the people of Dacheng are deliberately sparing their lives.
Mo Junxing looked at the general in front of him and the terrified soldiers around him.
Looking at the people blown away, looking at the limbs and remains, I clearly realized...
This time, I have truly lost.
Seeing this, he clenched his fists, then closed his eyes and sighed.
"Never mind."
"Withdraw your troops!"
This time, he lost after all.
"We won! We won!"
The soldiers were overjoyed to see the Qi army withdraw.
A month later, Daqi announced its withdrawal of troops and signed an alliance, promising not to invade Dacheng again for ten years.
Shen Hechuan readily accepted this offer.
Because he was confident that even if another ten years passed, the Great Qi would not be able to catch up with the Great Cheng.
Ten days later, Shen Hechuan settled everything and returned to the capital in triumph.
And Tiandu, too, was a place of swords and shadows.
However, these are all unseen contests.
Let's go back a few months.
Ever since Gu Jingchun learned that Jiang Chongfan was involved in the deaths of his parents, he has been determined to kill Jiang Chongfan.
But it keeps pressing and won't send.
Once we find Jiang Chongfan's mistake, we can deal with him.
However, Jiang Chongfan was a very cunning old fox, and he never left any loose ends. Gu Jingchun never managed to catch him making a mistake.
Until the second batch of grain was dispatched from Tiandu to the border.
With the national treasury empty, this batch of grain had practically drained it. Gu Jingchun not only contributed some of his own money, but also squeezed some from several extremely wealthy families to barely scrape together the funds.
Therefore, she specially dispatched Ye Wenxi and several officials to escort the grain supplies.
Ye Wenxi was more familiar with the route because he frequently traveled to and from the border.
However, the other officials who accompanied him did not think so.
Especially the newly appointed General of the Escort Flag, Ding Changyuan.
He couldn't understand why Gu Jingchun would send Ye Wenxi, a scholar, to escort grain supplies, and why he would make him the master of everything.
He was a general, and it was bad enough that he wasn't allowed to go to war, but to make him an adjutant to transport supplies was simply outrageous.
