Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

This sentence made everyone present open their eyes wide.

They couldn't believe that the enemy would attack at this time.

What exactly are they trying to achieve?

Although they were confused, they soon understood everything.

I saw flames on the hot air balloon in the sky.

The firelight illuminated everyone's face.

The artillery fire was like a meteor suddenly streaking across the night sky.

The sharp sound of breaking air made everyone realize that death was coming. They felt cold all over and kept raising their shields.

He wanted to use his mortal body to withstand the power of the artillery fire, but it was obviously futile.

Violent explosions echoed one after another on the city walls.

Endless flames and shields engulfed the soldiers in the rear.

"Fire the artillery!"

Zuo Hu was horrified. This was the first time he had seen such a large-scale battle even after fighting with Liu Chuang for such a long time.

It was obvious that the enemy had used their power this time and wanted to crush him completely.

Zuo Hu absolutely cannot follow their wishes.

Soon, dozens of cannons were set up on the city walls.

They used the same method to prepare to shoot down the hot air balloon in the sky.

But soon, everyone discovered that the hot air balloon was not within their effective attack range!

"General, we can't reach their hot air balloon."

"The cannons and howitzers... could have touched us, but these people stayed out of our range."

Designing for range on the battlefield means an advantage, and a huge advantage.

The gunpowder, which uses nitrate explosives as a propulsion force, has a coverage area and range that is much greater than that of the enemy.

This is also the technology that Qin Ming specially improved to crush the Yan Dynasty.

In just a few words, Zuo Hu lost hundreds of his troops.

They didn't even have a chance to fight together with the Daqian army before they were blown over the city wall and their bodies were never found.

Wails of pain echoed throughout the wall. Although the concrete they stood on was very solid, it could not completely shelter them.

In desperation, Zuo Hu could only arrange for most of his people to hide behind the city walls to prevent high-altitude attacks from the enemy.

He led his men out of the city gate.

The carriage, dragging the cannon, accelerated towards the hot air balloon in the sky.

They wanted to keep the hot air balloon within their range.

In order to prevent their own firepower from being completely destroyed before it can cover the enemy.

Zuo Hu even arranged for everyone to take artillery out of the city!

Soon, the situation he expected happened!

The hot air balloons in the sky all turned their firepower and began bombing the carriage on the ground that was rapidly approaching them.

boom……

The violent explosions echoed across the wilderness, creating deep pits one after another.

The galloping horses were constantly blown over in the bombing.

"Can you aim?"

Zuo Hu stood at the front and kept turning his head to ask his subordinates, but the results were always no.

It was not until they had lost nearly half of their men that they finally received a response.

"General, we can aim and fire!"

"Do it!"

Zuo Hu was ecstatic.

The hot air balloons were covered by their firepower range, which meant that the bombing on the city walls could be ended.

But at this moment, the soldier who was about to open fire suddenly froze. Seeing that he did not move, Zuo Hu suddenly became angry.

"Why don't you take action?"

"General, look..."

Zuo Hu looked in the direction the soldier pointed.

I saw a line of troops standing silently in the distance on the wilderness.

It seemed like it was just waiting for them to come.

When seeing this scene, Zuo Hu's eyes went dark and he almost fell off his horse.

Endless fear enveloped him.

After much effort, they finally got close to the enemy.

But no one expected that the other party's large-scale attack was just to stimulate discussion.

These troops stationed in the dense forest nearby are the ones who are going to be dealt the real heavy blow!

"Zuo Hu, I'm here to collect my debt."

Liu Chuang walked out from behind and stared at Zuo Hu with an angry face.

There has been a long-standing grudge between the two, and now they are extremely jealous of each other when they meet.

Liu Chuang would never give him a chance to escape!

Without any hesitation, Zuo Hu roared:

"Everyone, retreat!"

Then he rode his warhorse and began to flee madly, but unfortunately it was impossible for him to escape.

Suddenly, more troops rushed out from both sides and took control of the entire battlefield.

Zuo Hu's carriage rushed left and right, but was unable to break through the encirclement.

It seemed that Zuo Hu was trapped in the position by the army.

At this time, all the troops rushed out from the concrete wall behind.

This scene made Ye Shoujiang and Heifu, who were guarding on both sides, overjoyed.

Since arriving here, they have tried countless methods but have not succeeded in luring the other party here.

It dragged on until two men arrived at Changbai Mountain and provided a lot of artillery support.

This gave them a new idea to force Zuo Hu out of the city.

Now not only did the guy come out, he even brought everyone in the city to fight against the Daqian troops.

Will the Daqian troops still be afraid of them?

"kill!"

The two armies gathered together, and the shouts of killing shook the sky.

Because the goal is to stop the enemy from retreating, we must charge face to face.

The situation then turned into the most primitive fight.

Zuo Hu tried his best and finally broke out of the crowd and joined his own troops.

As soon as he entered the army, he picked up the military flag and loudly commanded the troops to form a formation and block the enemy out.

It has to be said that the imperial city guards of their court are somewhat unique.

Relying on their strong will to sacrifice, they actually blocked Daqian's troops at the outermost edge.

Although many people died, their main force was still preserved.

Seeing that his troops had suffered such heavy losses, Zuo Hu no longer wanted to fight.

Take them directly and prepare to retreat back to the city.

But at this moment, a muffled thunder exploded.

What followed was a series of dull sounds like a machine gun.

As Zuo Hu turned his head, he was shocked to find that hundreds of explosives had been affixed to their concrete walls!

These explosives are intertwined and spread out like a spider web.

Before they could react, the spider-web-like explosives were ignited.

The fuse burns very quickly.

After spreading to other parts, the explosives at those connection points began to explode one after another.

The placement of each explosive is very particular.

Obviously, this is a special point obtained after rigorous calculation!

Click...

Click...

Compared to these dull explosions, another more piercing sound instantly pierced Zuo Hu's heart.

Looking up, he saw a crack beginning to appear on the city wall in front of him!
