Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The sound of drum beats grew louder and louder like raindrops until Li Yun returned with General Cangtian’s head. The drumrs were so excited that their cheeks flushed and their veins stood out. Their arm muscles bulged so much that their sleeves looked tight. The spirit of the entire army soared.
“That’s a nice win,” Jiang Pengji praised.
Li Yun indeed had secured a splendid victory. It was true that his spearwork was excellent, but the battlefield was not the sa as a simple notes comparison.
As a newbie, he had made such an outstanding performance when it was his first ti battling with the enemy’s general. This showed that Li Yun had a very impressive talent.
Li Yun held his smile back but his eyes sparkled. Everyone could feel the joy emanating from his body.
On the other hand, the spirit of the Tsing Yi Army declined disastrously.
The Tsing Yi Army on the city walls shouted to boost General Cangtian’s morale. They were swollen with arrogance when Li Yun fell into a low spirit. However, no one expected that Li Yun was just playing tricks on his opponent and had beheaded the enemy’s general in an unexpected way!
The higher the expectations that the Tsing Yi Army had for General Cangtian, the greater their panic now.
“General...” the two small chieftains who went out of the city together with General Cangtian cried out miserably. They looked as if they would die to avenge General Cangtian. However, they held the reins with their left hands and retreated hastily. They were so terrified that they could not even control their horses and almost fell off of them.
The audience in the streaming room very much despised such a shabby, cowardly and weak act.
The beheaded General Cangtian fell to the ground from his horse with a depressing thud. The blood that gushed out stained the ground. The stout horse stood where it was in a daze. After a while, it touched General Cangtian’s corpse with its snout, as if it was mourning.
The two small chieftains and the hundreds of mbers of the Tsing Yi Army did not even dare to collect General Cangtian’s corpse. They hurriedly retreated, wanting to return to the city.
Mingtian Wugeng: “Holy crap. That’s so weak. The dead body of their general is still lying on the ground. They should collect it in any case, but they just quiver and want to flee. Don’t they know that this will affect their morale even more? They’re as stupid as pigs...”
Nin Dongde: “Please. Humans are all afraid of death. You can’t ask everyone to be a loyal and righteous person. Then again, if they’re loyal and righteous, they probably won’t mingle with the Tsing Yi Army. What they do isn’t wrong.”
Jintian Sangeng: “Don’t you guys think that the fatty lying on the ground is like a piece of atloaf that’s laid open?”
The audience in the streaming room teased. Perhaps they had seen many brutal scenes like this, so they could accept the bloody style of the streaming room.
They would not get shocked and frightened easily upon seeing a dead person now. They were focusing on Li Yun and General Cangtian’s uncollected body.
Han i was getting more and more handso.
The two small chieftains knew what they had done was not right, but they did not want to die for General Cangtian.
What if their enemy took the opportunity to make an attack while they collected the headless body?
Moreover, their general was struck dead by the young general opposite them. Was there still a need to fight?
The Tsing Yi Army had never suffered such a trendous defeat when fighting with the Red Lotus Group, let alone had their general killed by their enemy.
Now, the Tsing Yi Army in Chengan District was like an extrely dejected, defeated cock. No one stood up to rouse their morale. This caused their morale to beco more and more depressing, making them lose the courage to fight. They just wanted to block the enemy with the tall city gate to gain so sense of security.
However, they did not think that they were able to defend the city.
It was proven that Jiang Pengji was going to fight regardless of whether they wanted to.
Seeing that the Tsing Yi Army had already lost their morale, Jiang Pengji curled her lips. It was better to let them die out faster.
“Bring my bow and arrow.”
She stretched out her arm. ng Hun took the hint and fetched Jiang Pengji’s longbow.
She pulled the heavy bow into a full-moon shape effortlessly. The arrow pierced through the air.
“Ah...”
Appalled by the oncoming arrows, the Tsing Yi Army who was guarding the city yelled in a panic. After that, the sound of wood shattering was heard.
In the next second, the flags inserted on the pilaster collapsed with a loud thud and struck the head of a mber of the Tsing Yi Army.
There was a second of silence.
After that, overwhelming and enthusiastic shouts soared up to the sky in unison.
As they were cheering, everyone could feel the ground shaking.
“The lord is mighty!”
“The lord is mighty!”
“The lord is mighty!”
With a swoosh, Jiang Pengji pulled out the long knife hanging from her waist and pointed at Chengan District. “Attack the city!”
A resonant horn was heard from the center division. It echoed through the sky and spread quickly to the entire army.
However, there was a puzzling phenonon. No matter how loud the horn was, the entire army never moved a single bit.
The viewers in the streaming room were utterly confused. What was going on?
Utilizing the height of the terrain, the Tsing Yi Army on the city walls saw the humongous object that was moving in the rear of Jiang Pengji’s army.
“What... What on earth... is that?”
Due to their poor vision and the extre distance, they could not clearly see what the five moving objects were right away.
However, they soon ran out of ti to think about it.
The audience in the streaming room adjusted the viewing angle. They stared in bewildernt.
Chun Lie: “Holy crap. It’s a catapult!”
Chi Yun: “Who does the strear think she is? Why is she using the destructive catapult to besiege Chengan District?”
Jiang Pengji would broadcast her streaming every day. It was no exception during the ti when she was busy building the siege weapons. The audience in the streaming room could more or less understand how terrifying the catapult which she had built was. It could strike at a fixed point. Not only could the troops control the landing position of the stones, but also adjust the distance.
In theory, a catapult like that could at most bear 200 jin of stones and it could shoot extrely far. The stones could create a pit which was nearly one ter deep upon landing. Using this to attack Chengan District was an utter shock...
The strear was not planning to besiege the city. She was planning to demolish the city and dismantle the city walls of Chengan District.
In fact, she just wanted to let her subordinates see the outco of her playing with wood.
Technology would have a greater and greater proportion in the battlefield in the future. However, the days of people sacrificing would be over one day.
Jiang Pengji commanded the group of five artilleries on the catapult and aid at the city walls of Chengan District.
She shouted with a hoarse voice, “Shoot!”
A buzzing sound was heard. Five boulders darted towards the city walls like teorites.
Boom... Boom... Boom... Boom... Boom!
Five consecutive booms reverberated. The city walls that had seed sturdy at first were destroyed easily.
The Tsing Yi Army was busy moving wood to guard the city. Who would have thought that extraterrestrial objects would fall to the earth? There was a turmoil which was nothing less to the earthquake that occurred in Shangjing the previous year. A mber of the Tsing Yi Army was struck. He beca a muddy flesh before he had the ti to shriek. So of them stood unsteadily as the city walls collapsed and sank. Losing their balance, they fell off of the city walls, thudding to the ground stone dead.
