Braised Dragon with Soy Sauce

However, due to the constant strong winds on the cliff, which rarely stop, it is difficult for ordinary craftsmen to walk on it, let alone carry out construction.

This made construction very difficult.

To address this, Mo Yuming designed a movable wooden construction house.

The entire house is made of sturdy round logs. The wooden house has only three sides, with the side used for construction left open and without a roof to facilitate construction.

Rollers are installed on the ground for easy movement. Part of the wooden house extends over the cliff and is designed in a triangular shape on the windward side to reduce wind resistance.

This allowed the craftsmen to work freely inside the wooden house.

Just a few dozen feet past the Cliff of Self-Sacrifice, the scenery changes completely. There is not a breath of wind here all year round. No matter how strong the wind blows on the Cliff of Self-Sacrifice, it will never reach here.

This is the west gate leading into Wushuang City, as designed. Naturally, it was the first gate built here for defense.

The best material for building the city wall is the cliff stone from the Sheshan Cliff. This dark stone is extremely hard, several times harder than ordinary stone.

Because it is so hard, it is extremely difficult to mine.

But this did not stump Mo Yuming. A dozen or so Heavenly Rank elders took turns acting as stonemasons, splitting rocks and clearing the mountain.

Although the speed was not very fast, it was still enough to meet the basic needs of the craftsmen in building the city wall.

Construction was progressing smoothly, but on the third day, the Yan Kingdom, which was also unwilling to let the city be occupied, sent an army of 10,000 men to suppress the rebellion.

The vanguard troops had barely appeared at the entrance to Huilongdao when they were dazed and disoriented by the catapults that were already waiting there.

In the chaos, soldiers, knocked unconscious by falling rocks and pushed off the cliff by each other, fell one after another like scattered beans.

As soon as the battle at Jue Ming Po ended, Mo Yuming sent soldiers to move the two catapults here, and also ordered craftsmen to build four more during this period.

Six catapults were lined up in a row, waiting for the enemy to arrive. Under the barrage of fire from the six catapults, the vanguard of the Yan Kingdom lost over a hundred men in one fell swoop.

After the defeat, the Yan generals immediately changed their plans, sending swift light cavalry in an attempt to win by speed and take the cliff of self-sacrifice.

Although the strategy of using speed to overcome slowness was very successful, and they successfully avoided the threat of the catapults, only a small number of cavalrymen were hit by the projectiles.

The biggest drawback of catapults is their speed and accuracy, which makes them largely ineffective against highly mobile light cavalry.

But the fast light cavalry had no choice but to stop after circling around most of the way, because the road ahead of them was densely covered with spurs.

If they want to continue, they must first get rid of these obstacles, otherwise most of their warhorses will be damaged.

However, these were warriors who only cared about charging into battle. If they dismounted to clear obstacles, they would lose their fighting ability. Most of the knights simply returned to seek help from the infantry behind them.

The light cavalry charge failed and had to turn back halfway. The commander in charge was furious and immediately ordered the infantry to line up in a row, with each soldier spaced a certain distance apart, and to charge forward quickly.

With fewer soldiers passing through the blocked sections, the catapults' lethality was naturally reduced considerably.

Soldiers with teleportation space can nimbly dodge attacks from rocks.

However, this had a significant impact on the team's overall progress.

Because the troops were scattered, the soldiers who were left behind while advancing became easy targets.

Mo Yuming's side naturally wouldn't let such an opportunity slip by. Jiang Yuheng personally led a hundred archers out of the defensive fortifications, circled around to the bend, and set up a defensive position to wait for the enemy to arrive.

The old general of Yan, with his white beard, stood at the entrance of Huilong Road, looking at the army that could neither advance nor retreat, his face frighteningly gloomy.

This veteran general, who had fought in numerous battles across the country, had experienced countless large and small campaigns. Although he had also encountered many unfavorable situations, he was always able to handle them with composure.

However, this campaign left him extremely frustrated, as all his tactics and strategies were rendered useless in the face of such a hopeless terrain.

Before even engaging in battle, or even making contact with the enemy, they had already lost hundreds of men. This dealt a severe blow to morale.

He also wanted to order the crossbowmen to counterattack, but this time the Dragon Road was only a little over one meter long and wide. Once the crossbowmen were set up, there was no room for the troops to move around.

Counterattacking with only arrows was basically useless; the enemy was shooting from above, while you were shooting from below, making it impossible to mount a proper counterattack. Even worse, the constant barrage of hurled stones made it impossible for the soldiers to mount an effective counterattack.

Enraged by what he had never experienced before, he ordered all officers of the third rank or above in the army to line up on the outside of the road and use their profound skills to defend against the falling stones.

The remaining soldiers, with heavily armored infantry in front and mounted archers bringing up the rear, advanced at full speed.

Upon reaching the bend, the heavy infantry cleared the road, followed by a charge of light cavalry, escorted by mounted archers, with infantry closely following, and the entire army launched a fierce attack.

After killing hundreds of advance troops, the hundred archers led by Jiang Yuheng could no longer stop the heavily armored soldiers who were tough and impervious to arrows. They had no choice but to retreat to their defensive fortifications and command the crossbowmen to form a battle formation to attack.

Powerful crossbow bolts mercilessly reaped the lives of enemy soldiers; even heavily armored soldiers clad in full armor could hardly withstand the crossbow fire.

However, the fearless Yan soldiers, after rows of heavily armored soldiers fell to the ground, quickly surged forward from behind.

Although the enemy suffered heavy losses, they continued to advance step by step, and the roadblocks were being cleared quickly.

By the time the enemy heavy infantry had cleared away most of the spurs on the ground, the more than 1,000 heavy infantrymen were almost wiped out, and countless corpses piled up along the long, winding road.

On Mo Yuming's side, just as the army was about to engage in a direct confrontation, Jiang Yuheng made a decisive move and immediately led the crossbowmen back into the defensive line to avoid a head-on clash with the enemy.

Just as the enemy's vanguard rushed to the temporary defensive tower and launched an attack, the catapults that were originally launching stones toward the other side of the canyon suddenly changed direction.

Huge rocks flew out of the defensive towers, crashing down like meteors onto the enemy troops who were closely arrayed and attacking the city.

Meanwhile, the soldiers who were actively attacking the city at the forefront were suddenly blocked by five old men who jumped out of the defensive tower.

The five old men stood in a row, their dazzling five-colored protective spiritual energy intertwined, forming a colorful spiritual energy wall.

Yan Bing's swords and blades slashed at it, but it was like an ant trying to move a mountain; they couldn't budge it at all.

At this moment, dense stones mixed with powerful demon-slaying arrows rained down from the sky like a storm, blasting the blocked soldiers into disarray and forcing them to retreat step by step.

Those old men, who seemed like gods, were even more terrifying. With a single punch, a large number of soldiers would fall. Even soldiers wearing heavy, tough armor would have their armor shattered by the incoming punches, and the soldiers inside would be killed instantly by the powerful destructive force.

Those soldiers who were lucky enough to survive were thrown dozens of feet away by the powerful impact, and many heavily armored soldiers were even thrown directly into the bottomless canyon.

The cavalry that rushed forward were unable to break through the protective aura of the five old men. Instead, they were blasted away by the old men's spiritual power, and their warhorses were also killed by having their necks broken.

The soldiers at the front were terrified by the five godlike old men and involuntarily retreated.

However, the enraged general decided to take a desperate gamble and ordered his soldiers to launch suicidal charges in an attempt to exhaust the enemy.

Looking at the pile of corpses at their feet, and watching the soldiers rushing forward one after another to their deaths, the five old men felt a pang of pity. So they used their profound internal energy to knock the soldiers away, trying their best not to kill them.

However, continuing such attacks will undoubtedly consume more of one's spiritual power and physical strength.

After a period of competition, all five players were clearly showing signs of fatigue.

Mo Yuming and Jiang Yuheng, who were watching the battle from inside the defensive tower, felt quite helpless. Mo Yuming had no choice but to send Yue Lei, Zhi Dian, and Qi Xing to assist Long, Hu, Bao, Xi, and Shun in blocking the enemy.

"My lord, continuing like this is not a good strategy. We must find a way to end this war as soon as possible!"

Jiang Yuheng said to Mo Yuming.

"General Jiang, what are your thoughts?"

"Although the seniors are exceptionally capable, they are not gods after all, and the enemy still has seven or eight thousand people."

If we continue to only defend and not attack, we will eventually run out of strength!

Jiang Yuheng said with concern.

"Does the general mean to unleash a massacre?"

Mo Yuming asked.

"That's not necessary. Just kill those few people!"

"Heh heh, to catch the thief, catch the king!"

Mo Yuming suddenly realized.

"Indeed! Young master is indeed intelligent!"

Jiang Yuheng nodded quickly.

"You all served as officials in the Yan Kingdom. Do you know those people?"

Mo Yuming asked.

"That commander was Governor Deng, the garrison commander of Gu'an Town, a ruthless and war-loving maniac."

His current position is built upon the corpses of his enemies.

The generals standing beside him were his trusted confidants who had followed him for many years and were all fierce generals who had fought in many battles.

It's a pity he's an enemy now, not a friend; otherwise, he would be a fine general!

Jiang Yuheng introduced it to Mo Yuming.

"So, you're saying there's no need to keep these people?"

Mo Yuming asked.

"No, that's not it. If you're confident, you can give it a try! But I've heard that the governor-general has profound skills and is a master of the Heaven Rank."

Those attendants are all as skilled as I am. Young Master, you must proceed with caution.”

Jiang Yuheng said.

"Okay, I'll listen to you!"

Mo Yuming readily agreed.

"Master He, Master Shui, it's more reliable for you two to handle this matter! If the opponent's profound skills are high and it's difficult to capture him alive, then find a way to eliminate him."

We must fight quickly and decisively; we must not linger in the battle.

"No problem, I guarantee I'll get it easily!"

Chu He smiled slightly, and then he and Qiu Shui flew away.
