In a chaotic and famine-stricken era, I picked up an empress to be my wife.

Shen An's words made Liao Bing and the other soldiers eager to fight.

They've been waiting for this great battle for far too long!

"My lord, their scouts have arrived. Should we attack? Kill them?" Liao Bing asked.

"Of course we must kill them! Whoever wants to invade my Qingyang City, kill them!" Shen An waved his hand and said.

Now that only Yuwen Bingyu's army has arrived, the pressure on Shen An has been greatly reduced. He even feels that he needs this war more than Yuwen Bingyu does.

Not only did he gain prestige, but the weapons of these soldiers became his spoils of war, greatly replenishing his city's defenses.

So, do whatever is the toughest you can!

"good!"

Liao Bing's spirits lifted, and he waited for the scout to enter the range of the repeating crossbows.

At his command, five repeating ballistae fired simultaneously.

The scouting team had long heard of Shen An's divine weapons, and they were prepared. They immediately turned and fled on horseback.

Even so, without personally experiencing the power and speed of the repeating ballista, they still couldn't make the correct judgment.

Even though they fled immediately, half of them were still killed.

The person who was hit had a hole pierced through their body and died a very tragic death.

Immediately following Shen An's instructions, Wang Meng's voice rang out again: "You slut Yuwen, if you're so capable, send a large army instead of just a few to die!"

Yuwen Bingyu heard that title.

The anger in my heart reignited.

"My lord, please don't act rashly. We must wait for the scouts to return before deciding whether to attack or not, and how to attack!" Wang Junfeng hurriedly said.

"We outnumber them and have the upper hand, what's there to be afraid of?" Wei Min'er added fuel to the fire. "Shen An on the city wall seems tough, but if he's really that powerful, why doesn't he dare to come out of the city and fight us?"

"They're the ones guarding the city, why are they coming out to fight us? You're an amateur, so don't interrupt!" Wang Junfeng said, suppressing the urge to kill Wei Min'er with a single blow.

"Min'er, General Wang is right, we must not act impulsively."

At this moment, Yuwen Bingyu stood on Wang Junfeng's side.

When the scouts returned, Yuwen Bingyu asked, "Were there any traps or mechanisms?"

"At least the area we explored didn't have any traps or mechanisms."

"Since there are no traps or mechanisms, it means Shen An and his men also want to leave the city, fearing for their lives. There shouldn't be any from the city walls to here," Wei Min'er urged. "Lord Yuwen, don't hesitate, let's attack the city quickly! We outnumber them by two to one, and we have the means to resist their divine weapons. There's really no need to wait any longer!"

Yuwen Bingyu really wanted to send troops there; she longed to stand atop that city wall.

"My lord, please be careful!" Wang Junfeng's repeated admonitions brought Yuwen Bingyu back to her senses. She asked, "Who can continue to scout ahead?"

Everyone lowered their heads. They had seen what had just happened. The ballistae were firing so fast that even if someone ran fast, at least an average person would be killed.

Wei Min'er urged again, "Opportunities in war are fleeting, don't hesitate!"

"Hey, you bastards, what the hell are you standing there for? Attack the city!" Wang Meng's voice rang out again. "You think there are traps and mechanisms? Don't worry, my master Shen An has ensured that there are no traps or mechanisms set up from where you are to the city walls, so that we can advance and retreat easily. You are free to attack the city!"

"Did you hear that? They don't have any traps or mechanisms! Aren't you going to make a move?" Wei Min'er urged again.

"Sir, we can't believe them. Shen An is treacherous; he must have instructed Wang Meng to say that," Wang Junfeng said anxiously.

"It seems you don't believe me. Our Lord Shen An said you can send a team to scout ahead again. This time, we absolutely won't make a move! We'll let you find out exactly what's going on!" Wang Meng's voice rang out again.

"You guys go give it a try!"

Yuwen Bingyu was so eager to attack the city that he randomly selected a few people and sent them there.

"If you survive, you will all be credited with great service; if you die, I will give you three times the compensation for your families' resettlement!"

These words gave her men the courage to go and investigate.

Shen An did not order an attack. Having endured the torment of nearly ten thousand traps and mechanisms, they had gained experience and could now perfectly distinguish where there were traps and where there were none.

After some investigation, they discovered that Shen An had not lied to them; there were no traps or mechanisms under the city walls at all.

This made Yuwen Bingyu's ambition to obtain the Zhennan King's enormous wealth and eventually rule the world uncontrollably!

She seemed about to explode, causing their surrender envoy to shout and say sarcastic things, urging Shen An to surrender immediately.

However, their sarcastic remarks were nothing more than a tickle to Shen An and the others.

Wang Meng retorted with a single sentence: "What nonsense are you spouting? Let's start the war! Our Lord Shen An can't wait to capture that slut Yuwen alive, examine her body, and see if she's really as wanton as the rumors say! Hahaha!"

The final laugh greatly stimulated Yuwen Bingyu's nerves.

She couldn't wait a moment longer.

Where is Wang Junfeng?!

"Your subordinate is here!"

"Attack the city!" Yuwen Bingyu practically roared.

"yes!"

Wang Junfeng was also holding his breath and immediately mobilized his troops.

Soon, the vanguard appeared.

They weren't charging with swords and knives, but rather pushing a wooden cart in front of them, the cart entirely covered in hard wooden planks, protecting them!

"Shen An, this is the wooden cart to deal with your divine weapon. Let's see how you break it!" Yuwen Bingyu's eyes were filled with madness.

Shen An watched from the city wall. The wooden cart had wheels and a support frame, which made it easier to push. The wooden planks were large enough to hold dozens of people at once.

It's much more effective than them trying to block with their own shields.

Furthermore, even Mr. Mingyue's subordinates and the spies bribed by Hei Laoliu were unaware of this item, which shows that Yuwen Bingyu is not entirely stupid and knows how to hide her so-called ultimate weapon!

But all Shen An could do was shrug and say, "Some skill, but not much!"

Wang Meng immediately copied Shen An's words: "My lord Shen An said, Yuwen hussy, you have some skills, but not many!"

"Shen An, you're all talk. Just wait until my men breach your city, then let's see how long you can keep up your stubbornness!"

Yuwen Bingyu was extremely confident in her wooden cart, and she had been having it made in preparation for this battle.

With these wooden carts, her people could withstand his so-called divine weapons and quickly breach the city!

"kill!"

At Wang Junfeng's command, the vanguard troops pushed the wooden carts and sped towards the city wall.

The sounds of battle were deafening.

Having survived amidst gunfire in his previous life, Shen An was unmoved by this scene.

"Liao Bing, use fire!"

Shen An gave the order.

"yes!"

Liao Bing waved the red flag, and the repeating crossbows on the city wall immediately ignited the flammable material made of pine resin and other substances on the crossbow bolts.

Once lit, it will not go out even if it is propelled away at high speed.

It was specially made by Shen An half a month ago.

Initially, the intention was to increase power and destroy the enemy's siege ladders and other structures.

Unexpectedly, Yuwen Bingyu's wooden cart came in handy.

As the soldiers pulled the triggers one after another.

The crossbow bolts, still ablaze, hurtled towards Yuwen Bingyu's wooden cart.
