A tense atmosphere began to spread in the imperial capital Wuyang City. All the people who were immersed in the prosperity of industry and commerce suddenly realized that they were so fragile.

"Attack the fake emperor Xia Guang!"

"Attack Xia Guang..."

...

A loud slogan echoed around Wuyang City, and the huge Wuyang City was surrounded by troops from all directions.

Dongfang is an army led by the crown prince, second prince, Xia Shu, and is known as one hundred thousand.

To the northwest, there is a team led by the eldest prince, Xia Xu, which is known as 200,000.

To the southeast is the Kong family, the head of the Kong family, and the governor of Nanyang County, Kong Donglai, personally led the team, claiming to be 150,000.

To the southwest is the army led by Gao Bin, the governor of Songzhou County, and is known as 100,000.

Only the West is the Wang family's own army, which protects the connection between Guangling County and the imperial capital Wuyang City, and also cuts off the enemy's encirclement in this direction.

In Wuyang City, Shangguan Guang personally led 200,000 soldiers to defend the city.

However, the Grand Marshal Fu Minghui had already withdrawn from the battle and led more than 10,000 supplementary imperial guards to station in the imperial tomb 500 miles away, nominally protecting the imperial tomb, which was considered to be neutral. However, everyone is striving to win over this force, including the eldest prince. The imperial guards are ultimately an elite army, and Fu Minghui himself is also an excellent general.

The tension was about to break out, and the entire Daxia Kingdom was only the control of the Li family, and Anyang County and Kaiping County remained silent.

In the sky, there were a few Nascent Soul masters sent by the surrounding countries to investigate and observe the battle situation here. Even these Nascent Soul masters were many generals and commanders.

For example, the State of Jin sent his central commander, Li Lisong, who was in the early stage of the Nascent Soul. Li Lisong is now standing at a height of 1,000 meters to observe the war below.

Since Anyang sold arms publicly and since the slogan of industry and commerce spread, some excellent commanders and generals have keenly realized that the future war situation will change.

However, all people who observe high altitude use invisibility spells. If they do not observe carefully, they can’t find them.

Li Lisong stepped on the flying sword like this, quietly observing the bottom, and even began to use jade slips to record all the situations. Burning jade slips is a very tiring thing for the foundation-building stage, but for the Nascent Soul stage, it is a piece of cake.

The first thing Li Lisong observed was that there was a steel jungle in the center of all teams - the arms purchased from Anyang and the gunpowder weapons they made.

We cannot underestimate the wisdom of others. Although we do not have enough industrial system to produce artillery like Anyang, it is enough to produce primitive artillery. These primitive artillery use iron balls or even iron sand as attack methods, and their lethality cannot be underestimated - it is much stronger than the lowest-level bows and arrows; it is just that the attack distance is very close.

The siege army had arms, and the defenders of Wuyang City also had them! As an arms dealer, Li Xian was very "fair", and everyone bought the same thing. By controlling the arms, Li Xian indirectly controlled the war.

In addition to artillery, there are crossbow chariots (attacking side), crossbow beds (attacking side), etc. Because of the bearings, springs, standardized steel, and the "industrial wires" sold in Anyang, the crossbows have also undergone tremendous changes.

The current strong crossbows are larger and more numerous than in the past.

Li Lisong looked at Wuyang City, the largest crossbow bed on the city wall, and also took a breath of air conditioning. What kind of crossbow bed is it? It has 12 bow arms, three layers above and below; the bow arms are nearly three meters long. The components are wire ropes, springs, pulleys, etc.; in addition, all the places where the crossbow bed can carve the formations are attached to it, which are strange and beautiful, exuding a venomous luster.

Hanging on the crossbow bed are ten, seven inches thick and one meter long "cross loss" and are simply steel pillars.

Also, there are many dark muzzles on the city wall, which look particularly ferocious, as if they are windows to hell.

"Is this the so-called power of industry?" Li Lisong frowned. The war had not begun, but Li Lisong had already felt the difference: this would inevitably be a brand new war that subverted the past war model!

The tense atmosphere was stalemate, but Li Lisong was not in a hurry, and just observed it slowly and carefully. Li Lisong knew very well that the country, which had been delayed for fifteen years, had already had many conflicts in the country, and there was only one excuse. But now, the excuse is right in front of him, so it would be strange if he didn't fight.

Sure enough, soon the swearing of the soldiers and officers came from below, and gradually the noise became louder and louder. Not long after, the generals of the city wall defense (Shangguan Guang), and the generals of the army of various local governments (Governors) began to have a conversation.

It’s all old conversations. This one says you are unrighteous, we are the teachers of justice; the other says you are rebelling and treason.

The two sides were so quarreled that their faces were red and their necks were thick, but no one could convince anyone.

Seeing that it was evening, the prince and the second prince, Xia Xu could not help it first: the throne should have been his own, but now it has grown wings and flew away, which is absolutely not allowed. The prince gave an order: to attack the unkind and unrighteous third prince Xia Guang, kill the traitor Wang Chuan, and Shangguan Guang.

The crossbow bed and earthen artillery were useless for the time being. Yuan Zhao personally commanded 50 artillery large and small artillery and began to adjust the angle. The first attack was to be accurate and to hit the enemy's confidence.

Seeing that the prince had made any moves, the defensive side suddenly became anxious.

Shangguan Guang gave an order: "Start! You cannot let the traitor attack on the initiative!"

With a command, the crossbow bed that was first prepared buzzed and trembled, and one "steel pillar" suddenly flew out.

In the sky, Li Lisong, the commander of the Central Army of Jin, narrowed his eyes. He saw that the steel pillar weighing at least 14 people burst out at a speed that could hardly be captured by the Jindan masters. He flew one kilometer in a few breaths and "slammed" the artillery camp at the Luliang County position.

Where is Yuan Zhao? He was calm and watched the other party launch an attack on his own initiative, but instead smiled: "You are the ones who attacked first, we are fighting back passively."

The giant crossbow flew over, and several Jindan-stage masters and a large number of Foundation Establishment masters suddenly took action, and spells, talismans, magic weapons, etc. jointly blocked the huge crossbow loss.

Boom! With a trembling sound, the two Golden Pill masters were knocked away by a giant crossbow. The powerful crossbow had complete brute force and knocked away two masters. But the crossbow itself was just ordinary steel after all, and was stopped, twisted like a twist, and fell to the ground.

But the remaining Golden Elixir Stage, the Foundation Establishment Stage masters were not feeling well. Such a violent impact almost shattered their magic weapons and other things, and their true energy was shaken. As the saying goes, one force breaks hundreds of tricks, and pure brute force reaches its limit, and it can still harm Golden Elixir Stage masters; everything has a limit.

But during this delay, 50 artillery pieces of different sizes finally adjusted their posture and showed their power!

In the eyes of Li Lisong above, he saw a wave of vibration spread out, a ball of smoke exploded, and some warheads in the smoke rushed out at a speed of several times that of a crossbow. In the blink of an eye, they flew a kilometer away and hit the city wall. This speed made Li Lisong in the Nascent Soul stage almost unable to capture it.

Boom...boom...

A violent explosion came; because of the relatively high distance, Li Lisong heard the sound of firing and shell explosion almost at the same time. Fifty shells exploded at the same time, and the city wall shaking; the defensive formation on the surface of the city wall was even more undulating like ripples.

"The explosion power of the largest shell is greater than that of ordinary late-stage masters of Jindan. There are many such shells!" Lin Lisong narrowed his eyes, "The situation of the war has really changed. The soldiers no longer have close-range battles, but they were attacking long-range at the beginning!"

This was the first wave of confrontation between the two sides, but the first wave of confrontation did not stop at the beginning. The crossbow carts continued to fire, and the cannons on the Wuyang city wall also began to show their power. The shells of all sizes fell into the formation of soldiers from Luliang County in front. A roar caused hundreds of soldiers to be torn apart.

Then the two sides continued to fight, without siege, without city wall defense, only artillery ranged attack! Do nothing else, let's talk about the bombardment first.

"No wonder Anyang City wants to demolish the city walls, no wonder Anyang City will not build the city walls after it is expanded! So that's it!" Lin Lisong's eyes flashed, but his heart was already turbulent - the war situation changed so thoroughly! The changes in the war situation will inevitably lead to a new division of the entire Yingzhou forces; of course, this is a long-term topic, and there is no rush at the moment.

(There are continuous outbreaks these days. What about the recommended tickets? What about the monthly tickets? Is it support them.)
