On the top of the city wall, Luliang County Governor Zhao Guoshan and Beichen Yuqing looked at each other from a distance; a monk sneered, "What, you are angry because the fake imperial edict was exposed, and you want to attack?"
Beichen Yuqing was too lazy to explain this time. "Zhao Guoshan, a wise man doesn't say stupid things. I gave you one night, and I also gave Nanliang Mansion one night. It seems that you have made your choice."
At Beichen Yuqing's command, 10,000 elite soldiers and 10,000 new soldiers from Anyang were deployed to the north of Nanliang Prefecture to attack the northern city wall. In particular, the ten artillery pieces were adjusted in the right direction, with the black barrels pointing towards the city wall.
Seeing this, Guo Guibang on the city wall shouted anxiously, "Get out of the way!"
The people of Luliang County, who had already learned from Guo Guibang about the power of the artillery, immediately took shelter to the side; but the artillery did not move and launched an attack on this section of the city wall.
Boom... The earth shook! The caliber of these artillery pieces was all 150mm, and each shell weighed more than 50 kilograms. One shot would create a hole; after 10 shots were fired at the same time, a battlement began to shake.
Although the city wall of Nanliang Prefecture is good, it is ultimately not as good as the Great Border Wall - at least the Great Border Wall is maintained at all times, but this one is a bit dilapidated - who would have thought that a war would suddenly break out!
Moreover, this war was different from others, as it started with artillery bombardment - much more powerful than flying swords. At least when it came to flying swords, everyone had to take some things into consideration, such as damage to the flying sword would hurt the spiritual consciousness; but with artillery shells, there was no such thing as a concern.
The most important thing is that everyone has never seen such a battle! The enemy launched an attack from two miles away, and they could only passively take the beating, and they couldn't even fight back. Even if they used a crossbow to counterattack, it would not have much killing power from two miles away. They could only stare blankly or roll their eyes.
But don't underestimate the enemy. After the initial panic, Guo Guibang finally came up with a plan, "Sir, follow our previous suggestions and use masters above the foundation-building stage to launch a surprise attack, and use flying swords, talismans, etc. to counter Anyang's attack!"
Zhao Guoshan was also shocked by the artillery. Seeing that the soldiers did not dare to climb the city wall and that the city wall was already shaking, he finally nodded. "You lead 200 foundation-building period soldiers to attack from the left, and Major General Zhao Youdan leads 200 foundation-building period soldiers to attack from the right. You must destroy the enemy's artillery."
Zhao Youdan is the son of Zhao Guoshan, but he also has the cultivation level of Jindan stage. He and Guo Guibang, one on the left and one on the right, led 400 masters, jumped directly off the city wall, and rushed towards the Anyang army one kilometer away.
In Anyang, when Liu Leigang saw such a scene, he immediately gave a loud order, asking all the remaining troops with guns, except the artillery, to start counterattacking.
But at this moment, the masters of Luliang County actually used a spell collectively - Wind Escape Technique! All the little masters in the foundation-building period instantly turned into breeze and rushed over. The 400 masters seemed to be invisible shadows, like arrows, and almost in the blink of an eye they arrived in front of Anyang's team.
Yan Zhengqing was experienced in combat and was not panicked at all. "Use the Fiery Talisman!"
The elite soldier at the front took out the fire talisman and activated it directly; in an instant, a red flame shot up into the sky, blocking the front of the team.
There is a saying that "wind and fire are mutually beneficial". When the wind escape technique and the fire magic met, they actually added to each other. The flame burned more violently and turned into purple-blue. However, the expert from Luliang County who was in the wind escape technique screamed.
