Chapter 1477: A surprise for Qingzhou (2)

If the enemy wanted to bomb the city wall, they had to be baptized by the fire of the defending Army.

Miao Youfang returned the cannon to the Cannoneer and turned to look at Xu Xinian. He said angrily, ”

didn’t you say that the enemy won’t launch a night attack?!

“Ah? What did you just say?” Xu Erlang picked his ears and said loudly, ”

“The cannons were too loud, I couldn’t hear them.”

Miao Youfang cursed, thinking that the face of a scholar was indeed not weaker than the skin of a martial artist.

After losing three cannons and two ballistae, the enemy artillery squad had finally entered their firing range, and the sounds of cannons firing filled the air.

Fireballs exploded on the city walls and the top of the city.

The clear sound of the ballistae’s strings could be heard.

The destructive power of mounted crossbows was far inferior to that of cannons. Whether it was the destruction of the city walls or the killing power of the soldiers, they were inferior to the explosion of gunpowder.

But ballistae and ballistae had one use that allowed them to stand alongside cannons and never be eliminated: the destructive power of their bolts in one-on-one combat.

Cannons might not be able to kill a warrior with skin as tough as iron, but the armor-piercing power of crossbow arrows could severely injure or kill the experts in the Army.

Warriors who were caught in the battlefield would become “numb” to their premonitions of danger because danger was everywhere on the battlefield. This would make it easy for Warriors to ignore the terrifying crossbow arrows, and they would be unable to avoid them in advance.

If they were lucky, they would be able to kill or severely injure the enemy’s martial artists, which was a good thing to earn a lot.

As the two sides exchanged blows, a thousand infantry wearing rattan armor carried battering rams, ladders, shields, and other tools as they charged.

These infantrymen were refugees gathered by the rebel army in Yunzhou. They were specially used to deplete the firepower of the defenders.

Two guards raised their shields and stood beside Xu Xinian, while he himself ran around the city wall, commanding the battle.

my Lord, you may leave first. If you are harmed by the cannons, the loss will outweigh the gain.

The guard advised loudly.

“The morale of the Army is more important than my personal safety.”

Xu nianxin held his sword with one hand and ran back and forth, directing the soldiers to fill up the positions and directing the militia to clean up the corpses and treat the wounded.

These things didn’t have to be done by him, but they had to be done by him.

As the highest commander of Songshan County, as long as he stood on the city wall and fought alongside the soldiers, the defenders would never waver.

The battle lasted until the latter half of the night. After the enemy abandoned the corpses on the ground, they retreated in defeat.

…………

The southern border.

Beside the pool, Luo Yuheng was sitting on a smooth stone on the shore with a feather coat draped over his shoulders. Xu Qi ‘an’s robe was under his butt.

From the hems of her feather clothing, a fair and well-proportioned foot could be seen, soaking in the ice-cold water.

Her cheeks were still red and her eyes were slightly squinted. It was unknown whether she was enjoying the cool water or the lingering charm after the spring tide.

Xu Qi ‘an stood in the pool and picked up the White dudou with a lotus flower pattern. He played with it in his hands.

Luo Yuheng’s eyes, which were clearer than a pool of water, swept over him, and an imperceptible shyness flashed through them.

Xu Qi ‘an’s fingers caressed the dudou made of smooth material, reminiscing the delicate softness of her soft chest just now. She laughed and said, ”

“State preceptor, will you get pregnant?”

Luo Yuheng’s eyes turned cold, but his face was flushed. He kicked with his fair feet, and with a splash, the water hit the little silver Gong’s face like the sharpest sword Qi in the world.

Xu Qi ‘an’s face was burning with pain.
