Immortal weapon refiner

Chapter 41: Bed Crossbow
Early the next morning, we looked at the horse market in Wangyuan City.

Under the watch of the horse dealer, Li Qing and Qi Kang walked out each holding a horse.

"Let's go to the imperial capital!" Li Qing took the lead in getting on his horse and hurried towards the west city gate in a leisurely manner.

Qi Kang, on the other hand, looked nervous. This was the first time in his life that he was riding a horse. He clenched the horse's reins tightly with both hands and did not dare to let go.

Fortunately, the horses sold in the horse market are relatively docile in temperament. They are all horses for hauling goods. They are not fierce horses, and they are not too difficult to ride.

Just when the two of them walked to the middle street and were about to go all the way out of the city gate.

Suddenly there were several loud noises from the east city gate behind him, as if they were bombarded by artillery shells.

boom! boom! boom!
These loud noises made even the ground shake slightly.

Soon, there was a rapid ringing of bells at the city gate, which was the message that someone was attacking the city.

"The Liang people are coming! The Liang people are coming!"

"It's a bed crossbow, a three-bow bed crossbow! The Liang people brought several three-bow bed crossbows!"

"Hold the city gate! Hold the city gate for me, all of you!"

The middle street of Wangyuan City leads directly to the east and west gates. When the clock rang, the street was immediately cleared of all the vendors and civilians, and no one could be seen on the huge street.

However, the next moment, one after another, armored figures rushed out from both sides of the street and rushed directly to the east city gate.

Wu Lijun, this army composed of martial arts practitioners is well-trained, and there is no trace of fear on their faces when faced with powerful siege weapons.

Among the crowd, several captains of the Wuli Army boarded the city wall immediately. They were agile and quickly climbed up the towering city wall using their hands and feet.

Li Qing kept looking at one of the figures climbing up the city wall. She was a woman with a heroic appearance, long hair tied up, wearing light armor on her body, and a thin sword hanging from her waist.

This person was none other than Captain Qian Hong, whom Li Qing had met in the army before, and the only woman in Wu Li's army.

As if he noticed something, after Qian Hong climbed onto the city wall, he subconsciously glanced behind him.

She glanced at Li Qing from a distance, but because of the distance and the fact that Li Qing's temperament and appearance had changed a lot, he was no longer the honest, honest, dark-skinned blacksmith apprentice he was before.

Qian Hong didn't recognize it for a while. He only felt that it was familiar, but he couldn't remember it.

Before she could continue to recall, the city wall was once again bombarded by the powerful bed crossbow.

boom!boom!boom!
Even such a strong and thick city wall was shaking violently under such bombardment.

The faces of the several thousand captains on the city wall were a little solemn. They looked at the tens of thousands of Liang troops almost a kilometer away from the city gate, and their hearts lifted slightly.

"To have such power even though they are so far away, the craftsmen of Liang State are quite impressive."

"Rou is a warrior like us. If we were hit by this crossbow, we would probably die on the spot."

"Hmph, this crossbow may be useful for attacking the city. It can be used to shoot us. I'm afraid it's not just wishful thinking."

"This is absolutely true. Although the weapons of the Liang people are good, as long as they dare to attack the city, I will go in and kill them several times, and I will still beat their morale!" Qian Hong did not say anything, she frowned slightly. , looking at the several bed crossbows in front of the army, I don’t know what I am thinking.

With the continuous bombardment of bed crossbows, the city gate seemed to be lost several times, but in the end it was resisted by the warriors behind the city gate with brute force.

But all this has nothing to do with Li Qing.

Just now when he noticed that Captain Qian Hong turned around to look at him, his heart tightened slightly, he quickly turned around, mounted his horse and rushed towards the west city gate.

Although he had been in the Extreme Night World for a long time and his appearance had changed a lot, it had only been four months here. He didn't know if Qian Hong could still recognize him.

No matter what, he didn't want to stay in Wangyuan City anymore, so he immediately waved his riding whip and hurried towards the city gate.

Fortunately, the west city gate was not closed at this time, and people leaving the city were allowed to leave without even checking their identity, which was very relaxed.

In this way, Li Qing and Qi Kang successfully left the city, brought a lot of food supplies, and rushed towards the imperial capital.

However, in the next few days, the situation in Wangyuan City took a turn for the worse, and the originally confident people became frightened.

Just because in the past few days, the number of three-bow bed crossbows of the Liang State army has continued to increase, from the initial three to eight-gun bed crossbows!
Under the continuous bombardment, even Wangyuan City's solid city gate was blown open several times. Even if a large number of warriors desperately resisted behind the city gate, they could not withstand such terrifying city-destroying power.

However, the warriors of Wu Lijun were not vegetarians. Whenever the Liang army tried to attack from the city gate, the warriors of Wuli Army would go out of the city to fight.

Under the lead of the attack by more than a dozen thousand captains who were internal strength warriors, they cooperated with other warriors from the Wu Li Army and forcibly drove back the Liang army, which was far more numerous than them, causing considerable casualties.

In the end, the situation was stabilized.

The Liang army was able to break the city, but was unable to attack it, and Wu Lijun was smart and did not pursue it too deeply. After driving the Liang army out, they immediately returned to the city.

After several battles, Liang's army suffered even more heavy losses.

In this way, the two sides fell into a stalemate again.

Li Qingdao heard all this news from hearsay. He heard that the gate of Wangyuan City had been breached. He was glad that he left the city early and was not affected.

Then, nearly ten days passed, and Li Qing and Qi Kang finally arrived at the heart of the Maple Kingdom and approached the imperial capital, Shengtian City!
The scenery here is very beautiful, far from being comparable to the scenery in the desert. Even if it is approaching winter, the climate is quite pleasant and the air is very humid.

The two of them had rushed all the way from Wangyuan City and were already tired of traveling and traveling.

At this moment, Shengtian was in front, and he could already see the towering city wall from a distance, and Li Qing couldn't help but feel excited.

"We're here, get ready to enter the city." Li Qing murmured softly as he looked at the city wall, which was as solid as Wangyuan City.

After coming to this world for so many years, this is the first time he has been near the imperial capital.

Not only him, but also Qi Kang's face couldn't help but be excited. He was really tired these past ten days. Sitting on the horse, bumpy all the way, I don't know how uncomfortable it was.

At this moment, seeing the famous Shengtian City in front of his eyes, how could he not be excited.
