If you're made a fake emperor, why did you change the country's name?

As the sun gradually sets, the afternoon is a perfect time for college students to take a nap.

But at this time, five miles outside the imperial city.

The massive wolf army silently assembled, unlike the previous Seven Wolves army, this army was remarkably quiet.

Snapped!

Wolf Kingdom's Five Sons, Xiaoyue Jindao, leaped onto his horse, his whip cracking crisply in the air.

He glanced around at the Wolf Kingdom soldiers, a savage excitement in his eyes.

The weak-looking general standing to the side spoke in a low voice: "Zilang is mighty. In just half a day, he subdued the Seven Wolves' army and formed it into the vanguard."

"Hmph, those useless subordinates are useless too. I only killed ten of them and they surrendered."

Xiaoyue Jindao recalled how he tore apart the leather-armored soldiers alive. After tearing apart just ten, Xiaoyue Jinshang's entire army knelt down.

This made him very unhappy, as he hadn't had enough of tearing things apart.

"The Five Wolves should be prioritized in the war effort. Although they are useless, they can still wear down the Liang garrison."

Xiaoyue Jindao glanced at the general beside him and said, "I don't need your reminder. I know myself. Army, march out..."

"Wait! Wait! Fifth Brother, Fifth Brother! Wait!"

Just as he was about to give the order to set off, a voice that he found repulsive came from not far away.

Xiaoyue Jindao frowned and turned his head impatiently. He saw Xiaoyue Jinshang running over with a fawning expression on his face.

"You piece of trash, what do you want?" Xiaoyue Jindao's words were undisguised.

Xiao Yue Jin Shang's smile froze on his face, and the veins at the corners of his eyes bulged instantly, but he quickly suppressed them.

He shamelessly asked cautiously, "Fifth Brother, isn't it a bit too hasty to launch an attack now?"

We've only been here a day, and our soldiers have traveled a long way and haven't had much rest yet. This might affect our combat effectiveness.

"Heh." Xiaoyue Golden Blade let out a cold laugh, looking at him as if he were an idiot. "You think I'm like a piece of trash like you? Get out of my way!"

These words were like a resounding slap across Xiaoyue Jinshang's face.

His face flushed red instantly, and he was extremely embarrassed.

But thinking of the large amount of information he had just given to Da Liang that morning, he gritted his teeth and stepped forward.

"Fifth Brother, please heed my advice. There's a strange weapon in the Great Liang Imperial City that's incredibly powerful. Let's wait two more days and make thorough preparations..."

Before he could finish speaking, a dark shadow came hurtling through the air with a whooshing sound!

"Snapped!"

"what!"

Xiaoyue Jinshang screamed, clutching his arm, and collapsed to the ground in agony.

"Zilang!" Tuoba Hu exclaimed in shock and rushed forward to help him up.

Xiaoyue Golden Blade sheathed his whip and spoke with disdain:

"Trash is trash! When have the sons of my Wolf Kingdom ever shown fear?"

Your cowardly and self-serving behavior is a disgrace to the name "Howling Moon"!

After saying that, he didn't look at Xiaoyue Jinshang on the ground again, and suddenly pulled on the reins, raising his saber high.

"Move out! Capture the imperial city before sunset!"

Tatata!

The 50,000-strong army did not roar, but moved in unison toward the imperial city.

Xiaoyue Jinshang, who was helped up by Tuoba Hu, looked at Xiaoyue Jindao's back with a ferocious expression.

"Golden knife...I will surely kill you!"

Tuoba Hu watched the army's departing figures, then glanced at Xiaoyue Jinshang beside him, whose face was filled with hatred, and sighed helplessly.

"Zilang, things have come to this point, and now we can only hope that... the Liang side has made preparations."

……

dong dong dong dong!

As the war drums sounded, a massive, dark army of the Wolf Kingdom appeared on all sides of the imperial city.

Anyone who retreats even a step will be killed without mercy!

"Frontline troops, charge!"

Xiaoyue drew his tiger-headed broadsword and gave the order to attack.

The drumbeats changed rapidly, and the signal to attack was transmitted in all directions along with the drumbeats.

Upon hearing this, the newly formed vanguard, even knowing the terrifying power of the Great Liang's weapons, could only grit their teeth and charge forward when they saw the mounted supervising team behind them.

The presence of the supervisory team is the source of Xiaoyue Jindao's confidence that he can digest Xiaoyue Jinshang's army in half a day.

Under the pressure of force, you have no choice but to submit!

Xiaoyue Jindao watched the vanguard charge forward desperately and revealed a tyrannical smile.

"Hmph, with that kind of aura, even if the Great Liang has the most powerful weapons, they're nothing more than a trapped beast!"

In his view, by using these cannon fodder to deplete the defensive equipment of the Great Liang, and then sending the elite main force to swarm in, the imperial city would surely fall!

at this time.

On the city wall.

"General! A large army of the Wolf Kingdom has been spotted at the East Gate!"

"General! A large army of the Wolf Kingdom has been spotted at the west gate!"

"General! The south gate has appeared too!"

One messenger after another rushed up to Meng Qianshan and urgently reported the news.

Meng Qianshan stood atop the north gate tower, his gaze resolute.

"Send the order to all four gates! As soon as the Wolf Kingdom army is within 500 paces, open fire immediately! Do not be stingy with the cannonballs!"

This battle has only one objective: to ensure that not a single member of the Wolf Kingdom breaks through the defensive line!

"Yes, sir!" The messenger responded and rushed off.

Meng Baishan walked to his side and said in a deep voice, "Qianshan, you guard the north gate here, I'll go to the east gate."

Meng Qianshan nodded: "Father, please be careful."

Meng Baishan patted him on the shoulder and grinned: "I know, if you're worried about me, you should worry about yourself instead."

After saying that, Meng Baishan turned and strode away.

After Meng Baishan left, a young lieutenant immediately reported nervously, "General! The enemy has advanced to within 700 paces!"

Meng Qianshan's eyes were like torches as he stared intently at the vanguard troops below the city, who were dressed in disheveled clothes and swarming towards them.

He knew in his heart that these were just cannon fodder used by the other side.

But he understood His Majesty's will even better!

"Five hundred paces, fire!"

boom--!

Boom boom boom—!

Almost at the same time, cannons in red coats roared like thunder from the four walls of the imperial city!

The great battle has begun!

……

Jingxin Hall.

The deafening roar of cannons also came through clearly.

Xiao Wei stood below the throne, his body trembling slightly, and couldn't help but remind him, "Your Majesty, the war has begun."

"understood."

Zhao Yu sat at the entrance of the palace, looking towards the city wall.

It's a pity, I already used the Heavenly Mirror today.

Otherwise, how could he miss a war movie like this?

As for visiting the city wall in person.

I am still self-aware. Given the terrifying martial prowess of the Howling Moon Golden Blade in the mirror, who can guarantee that no accident will happen?

"Her Majesty the Empress has arrived!"

A sound suddenly rang out from afar.

Before the words were finished, the voluptuous empress, dressed in a phoenix robe, gracefully walked in.

Upon seeing Zhao Yu, she waved her hand and said, "You all go down first."

"Yes."

No one dared to say anything more, and they bowed and withdrew.

Once only the two of them remained in the hall, the Empress approached Zhao Yu and asked with concern:

"I just learned that the Wolf Kingdom has assembled an army of 50,000 to attack the city!"

"Can that thing of yours, which you call a 'red-coated cannon,' really stop it?"

Zhao Yu smiled slightly and reached out to pull the Empress's soft waist into his arms.

The empress did not struggle and naturally nestled into Zhao Yu's arms.

"Rest assured, my Empress," Zhao Yu said, pinching her cheek. "As long as Commander Meng does as I say and fires without restraint, not to mention 50,000, even another 50,000 will hold them off beneath the city walls!"

The Queen's cheeks flushed slightly. Although she knew her husband wouldn't lie, she was still somewhat skeptical: "Is that thing really that powerful? According to you, with it, the army will be invincible?"

"hehe."

Zhao Yu smiled and shook his head.

Artillery was indeed a game-changer in this era, but its drawbacks were equally obvious.

The accuracy is too poor, and it's slow to adjust.

If it were in the field, once the artillery was outflanked, it would be rendered useless.

If it's in the city...

Zhao Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.

If you're in the city, it's even simpler.

It all comes down to who has the lower moral standards, the defender or the attacker; whoever has the lower moral standards wins.

Zhao Yu thought of the flamboyant Xiaoyue Jin Quan in the Heavenly Mirror. Without a doubt, if it were this small coin, then there would most likely be bloodshed.

Fortunately, this time the opponent was the brute Xiaoyue Jindao, who, although he chose to divide his forces into four groups, essentially still charged forward relentlessly. Facing a higher dimension fighting a lower dimension, he faced no pressure.
