Chapter 1692: Chapter 146-siege (2)

Everything was a blur.

The White Emperor looked at the blurry figure in front of him and chuckled, ”

“Why do you think I have the confidence to kill you before the end of the four symbols tribulation? I’m waiting for the Tribulation of water lightning. This place will be my home ground!”

As soon as it finished speaking, a bolt of lightning struck down from the rolling clouds and struck the broken horn on its head.

This wasn’t a Heavenly Tribulation. It was just normal lightning, but it was tainted with a portion of the heavenly Tribulation’s aura.

In the misty rain, bolts of twisted lightning shot out from the horn like the tentacles of a squid.

In the rain, Emperor Bai was like a king who ruled this world.

Beijing.

The city gates opened, and rows of carriages entered the capital along the official road. Accompanying them were pedestrians carrying backpacks and wealthy people in carriages.

At the city gate, the astrologers cooperated with the city guards to interrogate and screen for spies.

In the defense deployment work, strengthening the walls and clearing the fields was an important part.

In the capital, there were two counties, Changle and Taikang. In addition, there were more than a dozen villages and towns of various sizes.

Changle and Taikang each had 3000 troops, cannons, ballistae, and crossbows. The two counties and the capital city were connected, and they helped each other during the battle.

However, towns and villages were not in a position to be defended.

In order to prevent the rebel army from exploiting the grain, the Imperial court decided to bring the wealthy families and landlords of the villages and towns into the capital and collect a corresponding tax for entering the city. To the landlords, this was a good thing that they both agreed with.

If they could obtain protection by paying part of the money and grain, it would definitely be better than being robbed by the rebel army. The former only needed to pay a part of the price, but the latter could be slaughtered.

On the top of the city wall, a large number of laborers were busy either reinforcing the city wall or carrying boulders, rolling wood, and other defensive weapons.

The artillerymen were checking if the ballista and the cannon could be used normally. Different types of soldiers tested different machines.

The infantrymen were running wildly on the horse track in groups, doing seemingly meaningless exercises such as ‘reaching the guard area in the shortest time’ and ‘familiarizing themselves with the positions of different weapons as soon as possible’.

With the active cooperation of the officials, the defense work was carried out in an orderly manner.

Imperial astronomer.

Sun Xuanji brought Guardian Yuan to the alchemy room-the base of the song party. There were 20 to 30 white-robed warlocks busy smelting steel, forging iron, and … Making gunpowder.

Sun Xuanji looked left and right, and then his expression relaxed.

Protector Yuan spoke out his inner thoughts for him,

it’s a good thing that Junior Sister Zhong isn’t here. How would these idiots who only know how to do alchemy experiments dare to make explosives in this building? ”

As if a mute button had been pressed, the alchemy room became silent. The white-robed warlocks stopped what they were doing and looked over expressionlessly.

Sun Xuanji’s mouth twitched.

Song Qing, who was beside him, shrugged.

don’t worry, I’ve told junior martial sister Zhong that she won’t leave the underground for a while.
