Chapter 848 The War Begins
"No matter what, if the Northern Di dare to attack today, let them taste the power of the princess's firearms! It will also let them know that we, Tianqi, are not someone who can be easily bullied!"
Time passed minute by minute, the sky grew darker, but there was still no movement from the Northern Di army.
Just when Shu He thought that today would be safe and sound, a horn suddenly sounded from the north.
On the walls of Beisha, the defense troops and the Chengfeng troops that had previously stayed in Beisha City all began to move.
The sound of war drums on the city walls filled everyone who heard the sound with worry.
Shu He walked out of the tent, his face full of confusion, "How could this happen?"
Didn’t Shen Chuan ask Zhao He to withdraw his troops?
Is he really going to fight with Apocalypse?
Baili Moqing walked out, looking at the oppression coming from the north, his expression seemed a little solemn. Seeing Shu He also come out, he glanced at her silently, as if to say, "Did you trust that bastard?"
Shu He didn't say anything, but just followed closely.
On the city wall, the Northern Di soldiers had already approached. Countless arrows flew from the sky like rain, with the sound of breaking through the air and a heavy murderous aura, nailing the city wall and some soldiers who didn't have time to dodge.
Zhen Li's face darkened as he watched the soldiers around him fall. The next moment, he flew up onto the city wall, his silver mask gleaming captivatingly in the moonlight.
He stood on the city wall, drew circles with his hands, and the internal force in his body gushed out instantly, twisting and swirling the air; the next moment, a powerful force exploded on the top of the city, pushing away all the rockets, and they fell on the ground outside the city and on the Northern Di soldiers who were closer.
After dealing with the rockets, he immediately ordered people to push all the firearms and explosives that had been prepared earlier onto the city wall and guarded it personally to prevent the firearms from being hit by the flying rockets and arrows.
"Everyone, get on the defensive! Wait for the Northern Di army to approach!"
He shouted, and a high shield wall was instantly erected on the city wall to resist the flying rockets.
The fact that this side only attacked and did not defend led the Northern Di army to mistakenly believe that the soldiers of Beisha City were unable to fight back, which further verified the news he received.
Zhao He, the vanguard general of the Northern Di army, saw this scene and shouted excitedly, "As expected, the main force of Tianqi has been attracted away by the other three kingdoms! Beisha City's defenses are now empty. Soldiers, charge! Take Beisha City and we can recapture our Northern Di land and dignity!"
"Rush!!"
"Come on!"
……
After hearing the charge horn, the Beidi soldiers rushed forward desperately as if they were injected with chicken blood; however, they did not know that there was a huge "surprise" waiting for them in Beisha City at this time.
The rain of arrows stopped, and the entire Northern Di army charged forward.
When the Northern Di army entered the attack range, the corners of Zhenli's mouth curled up under the silver mask.
He ordered the shields to be removed and flew to the city wall himself: "Firearm Battalion! Prepare!!"
Shu He stood on top of the city wall, looking at the black gunpowder that was about to burst out, her brows almost wrinkled into a "川" shape.
Baili Moqing stood by and when he saw her like this, he knew that her heart had softened again.
"Are you worried about the Beidi soldiers?"
Shu He hummed, "You know very well the power of those explosives. If they were really released, I'm afraid the area below would become a purgatory."
Even though the two armies were fighting, she still felt a chill in her heart when she thought of such a scene.
Baili Moqing sighed softly, "I have already warned Shen Chuan in advance. He is the one who insisted on going all the way to the end, regardless of the lives of his people. This is not our fault!"
Of course Shu He knew, but...
"Forget it!" Shu He suppressed all the discomfort in his heart, and a bit of coldness appeared on his body. "Since others don't feel pain, then beat them until they feel pain! Once, let them know what a painful price to pay for invading other countries!!"
After she finished speaking, a short sword appeared in her hand, and her eyes were filled with fighting spirit.
Since Shen Chuan won't listen to your kind words, don't blame her for being ruthless! !
Baili Moqing looked at her transformation and smiled slightly.
Fortunately, she has never changed.
Although she is kind, she has her own bottom line when it comes to war and stance. Once someone crosses this line, no matter how much she hates life, she will become cold and ruthless.
Looking at the Beidi soldiers who were still attacking, Shu He's eyes changed slightly and he shouted coldly: "Zhen Li! Attack!!"
A moment later, a deafening explosion was heard outside Beisha City. In the dark night, a huge red and white light flashed, illuminating the night.
All the residents of Beisha City rushed out, looking at the flickering flames outside the city in horror, their hearts beating restlessly with the loud noises.
The pungent smell of gunpowder in the air made everyone subconsciously cover their mouths.
"What does this smell like?"
"What's that sound outside?"
"Is this a massive attack from the Northern Di? Is Beisha City about to be breached?"
The people of Beisha City actually didn’t know about the arrival of Baili Moqing and Zhenli, and they didn’t know that there was a powerful weapon in the army.
They looked at the battlefield in the north with concern, fearing that the city would be broken and that Beisha City would be enslaved by the Beidi again.
They just regained their freedom not long ago!!
"Let's go up to the city wall and help the Chengfeng Army and the defense army kill the enemy! Even if it means death, we can't let ourselves be enslaved by the Northern Di again!"
"Yes! Half a year ago, we were able to follow Princess Li up to the city walls to fight the enemy. Today, we can also climb the city walls alone, follow Princess Li's example, and defend the city to the death!"
"Yes! We swear to defend the city to the death!!"
"Defend the city to the death!!"
For a time, ordinary people in the city were eager to fight and went home to pick up the weapons they could get. Even women came out with spatulas and rolling pins, looking like they were ready to fight the enemy.
If someone takes the lead, more people will join.
In just a short while, the entire Beisha City was mobilized and rushed towards the city wall in a mighty force.
On the other side, outside Beisha City, corpses were scattered all over the ground, with large black pits and gray-red flesh and blood everywhere.
The Northern Di army below fled in panic, with expressions of unshakable fear and panic on their faces.
They were stunned by the explosives and also frightened by the corpses of their comrades in front of them... Not only the soldiers in the center of the battlefield, but also Zhao He behind them was stunned.
The huge explosion startled the war horses, causing them to run around in all directions and become uncontrollable. The people on the horses were thrown off and were trampled by other horses, their sternums broken, and some were even trampled into meat paste!
The situation is so miserable that it makes one's scalp tingle.
Seeing the chaos below, Zhenli immediately ordered people to stop firing and open the city gates.
In an instant, the Chengfeng Army, the defense army, and the troops transferred from the surrounding areas swarmed out, chasing and killing the Northern Di Army.
"kill!"
"kill!"
……
A huge charge roared in the sky, the sound was so powerful and the shouts shook the heavens! Just hearing this sound was enough to terrify the Northern Di army!
As the general of Beidi, Zhao He's eyes turned red after seeing this scene.
A mixture of anger, unwillingness, and humiliation made him completely lose his mind.
Not only did he not let the Beidi soldiers retreat, but he asked them to continue charging forward, determined to capture Beisha City today!
