My wife has a secret

Chapter 225 Giant Beast
Even in middle age, Xiao Chong's appearance showed no signs of aging. Instead, his eyes were like stars, and he radiated a heroic spirit from head to toe, like a dragon traveling across the world with an imposing manner.

Such a person can reveal his noble identity and status just by standing there.

"As expected of the Yang family, even with the new generation of female family head taking over the command, Huangling Pass has become impregnable and easy to defend but difficult to attack."

In recent times, Xiao Chong has ordered his soldiers to come up with many strange strategies.

For example, they could try to attack through underground channels, supplemented by roundabout methods, by sending out small groups of troops to attack the flank of Huangling Pass by water routes, rock climbing, etc.

The result is predictable. The Yang family army stationed at Huangling Pass completely defeated his tactics and took the best countermeasures.

In military books, this confrontation can almost be called a textbook level one.

"It will be a bit difficult to drag it on. After all, Qi's spies have reported that the army that will rescue Huangling Pass is the family assets of the Qi royal family, the Yinshan Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and half of the Zhen'an Zhongwu Army."

The other staff members in the big tent were all shocked. Having dealt with Qi State many times, they knew that these two armies were elite and their logistical supplies were not the same as those of Yang's army.

If reinforcements arrive, the day of conquering Huangling Pass will be a long time coming.

Xiao Chong noticed the worry on the faces of the people around him, and his lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile with an ambiguous meaning.

At this moment, a heavy muffled sound was heard outside the tent, like the sound of the ground cracking.

Except for Xiao Chong and the deputy general who remained calm, some people could not help but rush to the door and lift the curtain.

Everyone looked outside and saw that a huge ox cart had appeared in the army at some point.

Why is it described as huge? Because there are more than a hundred oxen and horses pulling it.

These animals usually carry heavy objects, but when pulling this huge vehicle, they seemed to be struggling, as if it was filled with thousands of kilograms of weights.

However, the body and exterior of the vehicle were surrounded by metal railings and covered with straw mats everywhere, making it difficult for onlookers to see what was inside the tall carriage.

"Prince! This..."

Xiao Chong's hair, without a crown to restrain it, fluttered in the wind, and the brilliance in his tiger eyes blossomed.

"This is the magical object of our Liao Kingdom that can determine the direction of the entire war!"

……

The next day was just dawning and the weather was clear.

The sentries stationed on the city wall of Huangling Pass saw from afar that the Liao army had pushed a large cart on the slope at some point in time.

What was even more bizarre was that they actually poured an orange-yellow powder on their own line, covering the entire line with it.

Naturally, this abnormality was quickly reported to Yang Qin, who was on rotation. When Yang Qin rushed to the city wall, the Liao army had already made general preparations, leaving only the hundred livestock and huge vehicles isolated in the center of the battlefield.

Yang Qin had naturally never seen such a wonder, because the size of the vehicle was almost as high as the eight-foot-high city wall.

Yang Qin, who had no idea of ​​the Liao army's thoughts, finally reported the matter to her elder sister and planned to wait for the other party to wake up before making a decision.

After days of fighting, the enemy had not slept for two days and one night, and finally fell into a deep sleep last night.

"Second Miss, the Liao army seems to be taking action."

After being reminded by his personal guards, Yang Qin turned to look at the cart, and suddenly saw that the archers of the Liao army were coating their arrows with oil and setting them on fire and shooting them at it.

Yang Qin, who didn't understand the meaning of this scene, widened her eyes, hoping to find a flaw in the Liao army's unusual actions. But the next second, she realized how outrageous her idea was.

The next moment after the rocket was fired at the car, the entire vehicle burst into flames. The huge rising fireworks were like the end of the world, causing the cattle and horses in front of the car to wail and try to flee in all directions.

But the Liao army was well prepared for all this. They used wooden stakes to secure the reins of the livestock, and the objects in the cart were obviously extremely heavy, so it would be impossible to drag them even a little bit without exerting force in one direction.

And as time went on, a shocking roar could be heard faintly from the car.

Huangling Pass is surrounded by mountains and forests, and many places are uninhabited areas with few people. So after hearing the low growl, Yang Qin could tell that there was a ferocious beast locked in the big iron cage.

But even the elephants that were tributed by the southern country of India were not this big, right?

As Yang Qin's doubts arose, the low roars in the iron cage came one after another and spread to the camps of the Liao and Qi armies.

"This is……"

In an instant, the huge iron cage was broken through by the giant object, causing a huge commotion like an earth-shaking earthquake.

The huge, flat beast head broke the shackles around it, and countless metal blocks that bound it were replaced by fragments, which fell heavily everywhere around it like dense raindrops.

This action alone caused great suffering to the Liao army that came a little closer. Many of them were pierced through the body by the iron blocks and fell to the ground dead on the spot.

The monster's body was strong and huge, covered with thick scales, each piece of which was as hard as diamond, exuding a dangerous aura that could not be ignored.

What’s even more exaggerated is that its tail is like a dragon whip, covered with barbs, strong and powerful, swinging quietly behind it.

This kind of thing, no matter how you think about it, is something that humans cannot contend with.

After Yang Qin came to his senses, he had no time to care where the Liao army found the beast, nor did he know what means they used to control this guy. He could only order his men to report to his eldest sister as soon as possible and evacuate the people who were hiding in the city walls to avoid the war.

She had a premonition in her heart that the city wall of Huangling Pass, which had stood for a hundred years, was about to collapse today.

"Roar!"

The giant beast roared, which was enough to prove that it was in a violent mood at the moment and was full of bloodthirsty desire.

The first to suffer, naturally, are the livestock that are pulling the vehicles.

After feasting on the food with blood and flesh flying everywhere, it looked behind it with its golden pupils wide open, but when it saw the powder on the ground, it instinctively took a step back.

Then it shifted its gaze to the only direction forward, which was the wall of Huangling Pass that had been painted with bright red blood over the past three days.

……

Xu Qing, who was in Yang Mansion, was not too worried about the war on the front line, because he had learned from the guards who had been replaced that Yang Xianning had gradually stabilized the situation at the Huangling border.

Even though they were at an absolute disadvantage in numbers, given the current situation in the city, it would not be difficult to hold out until reinforcements arrived.

After all, the people inside the Great Wall have unconditional trust in the Yang family. Every military order and political decree issued by the Yang family receives enthusiastic responses from everyone, and everyone seems to be shouldering the responsibility of defending the land.

However, when I woke up today and had just finished breakfast, I heard a strange cry floating over the city.

Although that thing was some distance away from the city, the roar that was enough to break the sky still made Xu Qing feel inexplicably palpitating.
