Three waves of arrows, once again taking the lives of thousands of Liao soldiers.

And the Liao army's counterattack came immediately.

Just as the Qin army was adept at defending cities, this contingent of Liao troops may very well be the most skilled force in the world when it comes to attacking fortified positions.

There was no need for officers to bellow orders. The soldiers, of their own accord, carried out the battering rams, dozens joining hands to heave each one, roaring as they charged towards the city gate.

Meanwhile, within the Liao army's position, over ten familiar red-clad cannons from the Qin Empire appeared.

The Liao army lit cannons in a semblance of order, and with a loud booming sound, although their aim was poor, some lucky shots hit the city wall. An instant explosion could overturn a dozen or so soldiers nearby. If it landed in a crowd, a whole area would be instantly cleared.

Wu Ban Shan's teeth gritted, as if about to crack.

"Didn't we destroy all of the red-painted cannons at Yueya Guan when we retreated!"

At this, someone trembled and replied, "Reporting General, there are also some Qin people within the Liao army who know how to assemble, repair, and operate red-cloaked cannons…"

"Damn it!"

Wu Ban Shan flew into a rage, "These traitors to the country, this general will catch them and skin and gut them!"

At this time, Su Ping rushed north.

"General Wu, the Crown Prince, and General Wu have been safely evacuated."

Su Ping had just entered the county government office, his face brimming with uncontainable joy and excitement. He was about to speak when a shrill shriek suddenly pierced through the air from above.

"Caution!!! It's the Crimson Cannon!!!"

In the crowd, someone shouted—perhaps it was anyone—and suddenly all the generals felt a chill run down their spines.

"Evade!!!"

Su Ping roared angrily and dashed out of the house like lightning.

Just as these generals had just rushed out of the house, there was a deafening boom as a red-clad cannonball crashed into the room.

The ground beneath them trembled. Su Pingbei and Wu Ban shan stood shoulder to shoulder at the doorway, watching as a pit two or three meters square and over a meter deep appeared where they had previously stood. They felt a chill run down their spines.

They were so close, just a hair's breadth away from being wiped out by a single Redcoat cannon.

"Damn it, how did they get a Crimson Cannon!" Su Ping's face turned pale with fear.

"Traitors helped them do this."

Wu Ban Shan replied with a sullen face.

A group of high-ranking Qin army generals looked at the hole in the roof, then at the deep pit beneath their feet. Not one of them wasn't afraid.

Su Ping cursed under his breath and turned to Wu Ban Shan, saying: "General Wu, this subordinate requests permission to remove these red-clad cannons."

"Are you crazy"

Wu Ban Shan immediately refused, saying: "There are over 300,000 Liao soldiers outside. If you go out, you'll be sending yourself to death!"

"But allowing them to bombard us endlessly isn't a solution either. Besides, judging by the Liao army's intensity in besieging the city, Suiyang County probably won't hold out for long. No matter what, we absolutely must open a passage leading to Wulong Mountain. Otherwise, all of us will become trapped like turtles in a jar, unable to escape."

Su Pingbei's words did make some sense, but Wu Ban Shan still shook his head and said, "Going out is just a death sentence."

Su Pingbei let out a chuckle and said, "Just now, Your Highness gave me a batch of treasures."

Su Pingbei leaned close to Wu Ban'shan's ear and whispered, "Great Qin Divine Thunder."

Wu Ban Shan's eyes lit up, and he immediately grabbed Su Pingbei and said, "This item is rare and precious. Almost all of the existing ones are kept at Wulong Mountain for use. Your Highness actually gave you a batch How many"ce to us."Zhao Xuanji clenched his fist slightly, a look of regret appearing on his face for the first time. He said, "First, we guaranteed Xu Changqing's safety, earning us a good reputation. Then, w...
