Become a founding empress in ancient times with the system

Sheng Changan didn't say anything else, but just frowned and looked in the direction of Da Xitai. It seemed that all they could do at the moment was to defend the city for the time being.

The timing was so unfortunate. If any one of Shen Huaizhi and the others were here, Da Xitai would have died here at this moment.

For several days, Da Xitai stayed outside the city without any movement, obviously waiting for reinforcements.

The process of manufacturing a crossbow is a bit complicated, so we can only use the catapult Yaksha as a temporary substitute.

The weather became much colder, and some cotton coats, cotton pants and quilts gradually reached the soldiers. The surplus cotton was also made into clothes and sold in shops.

Sheng Changan let out a breath of cold air. Under the current circumstances, it would definitely be colder in the forest, but it should also be more conducive to their actions.

Not only them, but also Guangping County. Sheng Changan stood on the city wall and looked across. Now they have started to make fires to keep warm at night.

Under these conditions, once the reinforcements arrive, this place will definitely face a fierce attack. This will be a life-and-death battle for Guangping County.

A rustling sound was heard, and Sheng Changan's eyes lit up. It was the crossbow cart she had been thinking about day and night. Although there was iron ore, it would eventually be used up.

The arrows on the crossbow can release sixty arrows at a time. More importantly, these arrows can be directly retrieved through ropes, saving a lot of costs.

Zhang Wen walked over. Although he looked in good spirits, the bloodshot eyes were enough to prove how many nights he had stayed up all night, and his face was also thinner.

The clothes that originally fit her were now much looser. "Sir, this is the only one we have at the moment. The others will take time."

"Very good, much faster than I expected." Sheng Changan wanted to ask him to go back and rest, but then he thought that at this moment, few people would be able to sleep.

I could only reply in a different way: "It would be great if we could have one first, and the others will come later."

Although he was indeed a little tired, it was indeed a pleasant surprise to be able to make such a thing. He took something from the person behind him.

"Sir, this is a hidden arrow we made based on the crossbow. It should be more suitable for your self-defense. Moreover, according to our improvements, it is more lethal than ordinary hidden arrows."

Sheng Changan took it and was reluctant to let it go. After all, she felt a lot of pressure standing here all the time. Others didn't know, but she estimated that with Shen Huaizhi's ability, he could definitely kill her at this distance.

What's more, Da Xitai is recognized as a martial arts expert. County Magistrate Wu has been following him closely these days, so he must have thought of this problem.

"Very good." Sheng Changan interpreted these two words with his actions. After figuring out how to use it, he put it on his hand. "I like it very much."

She rarely smiled, which made others feel relieved. After all, this adult had not been in a good mood in the past few days, and they were a little nervous about doing things, fearing that they would make mistakes.

Sheng Changan didn't think too much about it. He was just a little anxious. Even though he tried his best to suppress it, it still showed a little on his face.

"As long as you like it, my lord. I will take my leave first."

County Magistrate Wu's face also relaxed a lot. His Excellency was not good at martial arts. Although the city walls were high enough, he was still afraid that something might happen. Now that he had someone to protect himself, he felt much more at ease.

Suddenly, there was a sound of hurried horse hooves on the ground. Judging from the sound, there should be quite a few people. Sheng Changan looked over and his pupils shrank slightly.
