."Before Zheng Baorong could say some empty words of loyalty, Li Chen turned to Li Ke Shou and said: “Next, the hunting ground will fully cooperate with the Beijing Chief Magistrate in promoting sweet...Chapter 1431: Set Up the Old Man's Crimson Cannon

The grand and tragic scene of war had a profound impact on Li Chen.

As a soul who has lived two lives, both in the past and present, this was Li Chen's first time with his own eyes witnessing such a massive siege of hundreds of thousands of people.

At this moment, Li Chen suddenly scoffed at the depictions of war scenes he had seen on television and read in novels from his past life.

This kind of grandeur is not something that can be captured on screen, nor is it something that authors can describe out of thin air.

Life is cheap here, truly life is cheap.

People can be so numerous that they fill your entire field of vision, and if you just throw a stone down, you could knock over several.

But it didn't work, I poured another one down, and immediately three, five more came up recklessly.

Originally, Li Chen thought that in this feudal era, a fortress like Yueya Pass with such a high standard of walls would be almost impossible to breach. However, seeing the Liao army carrying siege timbers as thick as four or five adults, crashing against the city gate, each deafening boom made Li Chen feel his feet tremble beneath the shaking wall...

This made Li Chen realize that he had previously oversimplified the concept of war.

This is a real battlefield.

"Your Highness!"

Wu Qingcang's voice woke Li Chen.

"It's really dangerous here, you should go down the city wall quickly!"

Li Chen pursed his lips, knowing Wu Qingcang was right. At this time, with his identity, he absolutely couldn't appear on the front lines, let alone the most dangerous part – the city walls.

This not only fails to help the defenders, but will also create more trouble.

Ultimately, reason prevailed over desire. Li Chen nodded and said, "Alright, go down first."

Just as Li Chen was about to turn around, a mournful and eerie horn blared from within the Liao army's ranks.

Under the sound of this horn, the Liao army's battle cries grew louder.

Immediately afterward, Li Chen and Wu Qingcang looked up and saw the crowd at the rear of the Liao army disperse, revealing eight siege trebuchets being pulled out.

Each trebuchet was as large as a heavy crane that Li Chen had seen in his past life, and each one required dozens of the strongest Liao soldiers to push it from behind, with more than ten strong horses pulling it forward.

And such a massive frame also brings extremely obvious effects.

A massive stone, weighing several tons, was hauled onto a catapult by the Liao army and then launched in an instant!

OMG!!!

Because the power was too great, a humming sound erupted in the air.

The buzzing sound was so loud it drowned out even the war cries, and a massive stone arced through the air toward the city wall.

"Your Highness, be careful!"

In a moment of urgency, Wu Qingcang and Xu Wei both shouted simultaneously, placing their hands on Li Chen's shoulders, one on each side, to force him to crouch down.

As Li Chen crouched down, several figures rushed forward simultaneously, protecting him tightly.

Pinned to the ground, Li Chen couldn't see. But because he couldn't see, a wave of immense panic surged through his heart.

Then came a deafening roar.

He felt the city walls beneath him trembling, as if the heavens were collapsing and the earth was splitting apart.

Screams filled the air.

When everything subsided, Xu Wei, Wu Qingcang, and several Jinyiwei retreated from pressing down on Li Chen. Li Chen stood up and saw that although the city wall was still there, it had developed several alarming cracks.

The most pitiful sight was a boulder landing squarely on the city wall. The soldiers in that area instantly turned into a bloody pulp. Li Chen could even see several mutilated hands and feet stretching out from under the rock, their owners reduced to a blurry mess of blood and flesh.

A roar of fury erupted from Wu Qingcang's ears.

"Where's the Crimson Cannon! Bring up my Crimson Cannon!"a discussion, it's an order. If you can't even handle this, do you think I'd hesitate to crush you"Saying this, Yelü Qiming stared at Zhao Xuanji, without looking back he accurately grabbed the cerami...
