After transmigrating into the villain's daughter, I lie down and win

Chapter 809 The whole family is a rebel (93)

"Open the city gate!"

The shouts of Xiao Ji's soldiers shook the heavens, and their momentum alone overwhelmed the Chang'an defenders, not to mention that they also possessed the most advanced weapons and equipment in the world.

Even so, the guards on Chang'an City remained as still as a mountain.

Aren't they afraid?

Everyone knows that General Xiao Ji has won every battle since he joined the army and has never been defeated. Moreover, this time he came all the way from the north to purge the court, and all other rebels were either killed by him or surrendered to him.

How could they not be afraid facing such a fierce man?

But do they have a choice?
Parents, wives and children are all under the control of the emperor's Langwei Army. Once they dare to rebel, the butcher knives in the hands of the Langwei Army will not hesitate to chop off the necks of their relatives.

They don’t want to lose their loved ones.

They don't want to die either.

Fortunately, the overwhelming scene did not last long. The generals under Xiao Ji ordered the soldiers to push out several chariot-like objects and came to the front of the team.

"what is that?"

"This is different from the previous chariots."

"I've been in the army for so many years, and I've never seen anything this strange."

Seeing the "enemy" starting to fiddle with that strange thing, everyone was curious and puzzled at first, and started whispering. Suddenly, someone said, "I wonder if you still remember that there is a thing in the north that can instantly flatten a mountain to the ground." After that, the private discussions suddenly stopped.

Everyone's face changed, as if their throats were strangled. They became hoarse and silent, with only a pair of astonished and unbelievable eyes staring at the city.

There was a boom.

Before everyone could react, the ground beneath their feet began to shake as if a dragon had turned over. The soldiers were dizzy and could not stand steadily.

a bit.

Two times.

Three times.

Some were screaming, some were running for their lives, some were begging for mercy, and some were praying to God.

"What on earth happened? Why did an earthquake happen?"

"It's not an earthquake, it's that thing they're playing with!"

"I saw clearly that it wasn't that thing. The noise just now came from underground. They must have hollowed out the ground..."

Before the man could finish his words, he saw the people outside the city suddenly move.

"what happened?"

"Why are they retreating? Even the general has left. Are they going to withdraw their troops?"

"how can that be possible……"

Everyone smiled bitterly.

Yes.

How can it be?

How could a general who had the best of time, place and people retreat at this time?

"Oh no, General, they must be planning something new!"

"It's that thing. They are afraid that it will hurt the general, so they let the general and those generals retreat!"

As they were talking, there were a few more loud bangs. Before anyone could see clearly what was flying over there, they felt dizzy and their ears seemed to be struck by lightning. They could not hear any sound around them.

After the huge explosion, there was a dead silence. What happened?
What was that thing that exploded just now?
Are we still alive?
When everyone slowly regained their hearing and consciousness, they heard a soldier shouting, "Oh no, oh no, a corner of the tower has collapsed!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw that a corner of the city wall had been blown up, while the enemy troops outside the city were still preparing for a new round of attack.

Xiao Ji looked at the blown-up corner with dissatisfaction, and asked Chen Ye, the leader of the Mohist School, "Chen Ye, Yan'er wrote to me saying that this cannon is extremely powerful. She said that she and the Mohists had tested it in the mountains. How come what you made is different from what my Yan'er said?"

Chen Ye had a look of pride on his face, but when he heard these words, his expression suddenly changed.

Yes.

The disciple also said in the letter that the bomb made with gunpowder mixed by the young princess herself was extremely powerful and directly flattened a mountain. Why is it that the bombs they made combined could only blow up a small corner of the city wall?

Are the city walls of Chang'an too strong?

Or is it that their technology is just too poor?
Chen Ye was embarrassed for a moment, and soon said expressionlessly: "I dare to let my lord know that there are errors in testing and practice."

Xiao Jixin smiled but didn't smile, "Oh, such a big error?"

Chen Ye lowered his head slightly so that Xiao Ji wouldn't see his wildly rolling eyes.

Why is there such a big error?

The general is so bad at speaking!

The little princess is still the best. No matter how many times they fail, she will encourage them, saying that they have done very well and that as long as they are a little more precise they can change the course of history and light up some industrial technology tree.

No one knew what Chen Ye was secretly complaining about, but his inability to defend himself was seen by many people.

Many people stood up and spoke.

"My Lord, this cannon is already very powerful. If we use it a few more times, we will surely be able to blow up all the towers!"

"Yes, that's because the Chang'an city wall is too strong. If it were any other wall, it would have been blown away long ago."

"This cannon is too precious. We should use it sparingly. With that hole, we can easily climb the city!"

Listening to what everyone said, Chen Ye's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly said: "General, when I left the North, the little princess told me that cannons can promote the unification process, but those places that have not yet been incorporated into the territory are its real battlefields."

What this means is that they can be used, they can be used to intimidate, they can be used to threaten, but they are too lethal and should not be used against your own comrades. The time to use them is when the country is unified and stable, and when there is a need to use military force to expand territory, then it will be time for them to show their power!
As the main general and the supreme commander, how could Xiao Ji not understand these principles?

He said nothing and just let Chen Ye continue watching.

Chen Ye thought he didn't listen and wanted to continue to persuade him, but was stopped by someone, "Master Chen, look over there."

Boom!

"The city wall is cracked!"

"Collapsed!"

"What a powerful force! Such a solid wall was blown apart so easily!"

"God help my lord, God help us!"

"What God's help? It's the great general's divine power! It's the young princess's extraordinary destiny! The destiny is in the north! The destiny is in the north!"

Shouts of protest were heard again from the Northern Army.

The defenders of Chang'an had already been in chaos.

The defending general covered his injured arm and stood on the city wall in a panic, supported by the soldiers below.

Before his eyes was a dark mass of northern soldiers that seemed to have no end in sight and only gave him infinite fear and intimidation. They were eyeing him covetously and were full of ambition. They had a wise and benevolent lord, and high positions, generous salaries, fine wine and delicious food were waiting for them.

Behind him were countless poorly clothed, hungry, emaciated and sick common people. They were very old and posed no threat. Most of their relatives had died in Chang'an. With their families broken up and nowhere to go, they fought for their lives just to survive.

The guard looked in front of him and then behind him. The sound of explosions and the smell of blood lingered around him. Then he closed his eyes in pain and despair.

What should he do?
