Xuanyuan Tianzong retreated, and the soldiers at the top of the city suddenly burst into cheers. They all thought that the opponent would attack the city immediately and prepared to fight to the death.

The emperor, the head of the Hua family, and the few people who worshiped him also exhaled with a sigh of relief, and the hearts hanging in their throats were relieved. They had no grenades now, so they could only fight with each other head-on. Victory, failure, life and death were unknown. Unexpectedly, Xuanyuan

Tianzong actually retreated.

"Come here, follow me from a distance and keep an eye on them!" The emperor immediately ordered and sent spies to follow. What if this is the opponent's plan? Pretend to retreat and wait for him to relax a little, and they will come back with a carbine.

Too bad.

After sending out the spies, the emperor and the head of the Hua family went straight to the Kingdom Academy. Before, they had to keep an eye on the battle and couldn't move. Now that the other side had retreated, the first thing they did was to see Jiang Xingchen. The reason why this battle could be fought like this was entirely due to Jiang.

Credit goes to Xingchen for designing the grenade. Although the cost of manufacturing that grenade was huge, it was equally powerful and the final result was quite good.

And they all know how tired Jiang Xingchen is these days. The design craftsmen of the grenade all know it, but only Jiang Xingchen can make the core components. No one else can do it. It is too delicate.

.

Therefore, in the past three days, Jiang Xingchen had very little sleep time, and almost all of his time was spent on making trigger devices and delay devices. If Meier hadn't stayed to take care of him, he wouldn't even have time to eat.

The news of Xuanyuan Tianzong's withdrawal spread quickly, and the entire Moon Shadow City was in a state of excitement. Residents walked out of their homes and cheered loudly, and acquaintances congratulated each other. There was a hint of joy in surviving the disaster on their smiling faces.

"My prayers finally worked. We defeated Xuanyuan Tianzong. It's great..."

"Your prayers worked. It was our thousand soldiers who defeated the opponent's army!"

"If I hadn't prayed, do you think a thousand people could have defeated the Xuanyuan Tianzong?"

"That's because the emperor invited Jiang Xingchen to design a new weapon..."

"What new weapon can allow a thousand men to repel an army of hundreds of thousands?"

"I don't know. I heard that it will explode. Once it explodes, it will explode into a large area, and even the heavy armored knights will not be able to stop it..."

"If it weren't for my prayers, do you think Jiang Xingchen could design..."

"Fuck you~" A group of people laughed and kicked him out with their feet.

The entire capital was in such a commotion, but the Kingdom Academy remained quiet. The emperor and the head of the Hua family originally wanted to report the good news to Jiang Xingchen in person and express their gratitude. But Jiang Xingchen's words made them nervous again. He didn't want to let Xuan Yuantian go.

Zongshun walked smoothly...

Jiang Xingchen talked with them for half a month before getting up and leaving, and went back to making grenades. Xuanyuan Tianzong's methods were too ruthless. This time they wanted to kill the Xingchen leaders. What about next time.

Who knows what more clever tricks they will come up with.

Therefore, Jiang Xingchen made up his mind this time to hit Xuanyuan Tianzong so hard that it would be difficult for him to stand up. Although he would not completely solve this problem, it would still severely damage his vitality and leave him no time to care...

Early the next morning, Jiang Xingchen finally stopped what he was doing, shook his dizzy head, and then called the old man.

"Boy, what do you want from me?" The old man had a dark face. Apparently he still remembered the grudge of being teased yesterday.

"Haha..." Jiang Xing asked with a smile: "Do you still want to play with grenades?"

"You still want to play tricks on me, little Hundan, my ancestors won't be fooled by you anymore!" The old man said through gritted teeth. If you weren't so tired, he would have tickled you for a long time.

"It's true this time. Didn't I say yesterday that I would give it to you this morning?" Jiang Xingchen's smile faded and he showed a serious expression.

"What's the matter?" When he saw Jiang Xingchen like this, the old man knew that it was serious business and not a joke, and he became serious.

"Yesterday, we made another five hundred grenades. You can take them to the rear and hand them over to the Guards, so that they can quickly deal with the blocking Fifth Heavy Armor Knights. Then..."

"You want to pursue Xuanyuan Tianzong?" the old man asked in surprise.

"Yes!" Jiang Xingchen nodded and said solemnly: "The Imperial Guards are fast and should be able to catch up with them... In the past few days, they have made enough grenades. We must cripple them this time!"

"This kid is really cruel!" The old man thought to himself, and immediately nodded: "Okay! I'll go right away!"

"Don't forget to teach them how to use it. I taught you carefully yesterday for this purpose!" Jiang Xingchen instructed.

When the old man heard this, his face darkened again, and he cursed: "I don't need you to remind me, go to bed quickly!"

The old man quickly left with the grenade, and Jiang Xingchen was finally able to sleep soundly.

However, not long after he fell asleep, the emperor and the head of the Hua family came over again.

"There is a fight outside the Moon Shadow Kingdom. The troops of the Qiankun Empire are attacking the town occupied by Xuanyuan Tianzong. The leader is Dingbeihou!" When the emperor told Jiang Xingchen the news, his expression was extremely unnatural. In this situation, he

I already understand the idea of ​​Emperor Qiankun, which is to use himself as bait to encircle and annihilate Xuanyuan Tianzong.

Although he knew that they either didn't want to rescue him or they couldn't catch up in time. Taking advantage of the situation to take advantage of the opponent's attack on the outskirts of the capital's detour, he just didn't feel comfortable. He always felt that he was competing with Xuanyuan Tianzong and the Qiankun Empire was benefiting.

Jiang Xingchen stayed to help him because of personal reasons and not because of the Qiankun Empire's instructions. He wanted to pick up Meier and leave. If the Hua Family Master and Tianxia Trading Company hadn't come forward, they might not have helped.

Jiang Xingchen didn't think so much, and his dazed consciousness immediately woke up. He really didn't expect that Marquis Dingbei led the Eighth Legion around to the outside.

With almost no hesitation, Jiang Xingchen immediately threw himself into the production of grenades. With the imperial guards at the rear and Marquis Dingbei at the front, this opportunity was very rare.

Meier watched Jiang Xingchen working with his tired body, her eyes were red with distress, but she knew that she could not stop her brother...

At the same time, in the center of Xuanyuan Tianzong's army, the sect leader was sitting on a carriage with a sullen face.

From his heart, he really didn't want to retreat. Both he and Xuanyuan Tianzong had paid too much for this plan.

However, ever since the explosive iron lump appeared, he suddenly had an ominous premonition. If he stayed here any longer, Xuanyuan Tianzong would probably suffer disaster.

This sense of crisis became stronger and stronger, forcing him to make the decision to withdraw.

"Sect Master, do you want the Fifth Heavy Armor Knights to withdraw?" the great elder suddenly asked.

"We can't withdraw! There are only 30,000 Imperial Guards, and they are much faster than us. Once they pursue us from behind..." The patriarch shook his head and said, "Inform the Fifth Knights to hold on for another three days!"

The Great Elder frowned and said: "Clan, do the Imperial Guards still dare to confront our hundreds of thousands of troops?"

"Don't forget, they have that kind of weapon in their hands!" The sect leader said, and the great elder immediately became silent. A thousand knights with inner energy cultivation can blow them up, let alone 30,000 imperial guards.

"Tell them. When fighting with the opponent, if there is an explosive iron lump, try to disperse it as much as possible. This can reduce casualties... Don't confront the opponent head-on, just harass them!" the sect master instructed.

"Then we retreat, what will happen to the Fifth Knights?" the great elder asked again.

"Let them stay here as bandits, huh! Stir them up for a while, then disperse and retreat back to Xuanyuan Tianzong... In addition, notify the troops in front. Throw away some of the burden and speed up!"

"Okay! I'll go right away!" The great elder nodded, got up and got out of the carriage...

Just when Xuanyuan Tianzong was retreating at full speed, Dingbei Hou who was on the periphery was depressed. According to the judgment of the emperor and the marshal, Xuanyuan Tianzong was eager to capture Yueying Capital and would definitely not care too much about other occupied areas.

, and there is no time schedule.

However, when they rushed to the periphery and started to attack, they discovered that not only had they made arrangements, but they had also made them very tight. They did not passively defend the city at all, but directly attacked. The eight-meter-tall monster,

The rocks that were sprayed out were large rocks weighing a hundred kilograms, which could hit a distance of 400 meters. If they fell into the crowd, they would kill a large number of them. Their ballistae and chariots were smashed as soon as they were set out.

Their heavy weapons were destroyed, and the chariots and crossbows came into play. They were defeated in a single confrontation, and they retreated for twenty miles before they stabilized their position.

They were preparing to penetrate the Xuanyuan Tianzong's rear path from the outside. Of course, they would not gather their troops in one place, but split into four groups to attack... Coincidentally, all four groups encountered the same situation. On the first day of the battle, Dingbei

Hou's 300,000-strong army lost nearly 40,000.

The purpose of their coming here is to cut off Xuanyuan Tianzong's retreat and surround them in the Moon Shadow Kingdom. But the current situation has made all their previous plans a joke. It would be great if they don't kill you.

I want to surround people.

Marquis Dingbei thought hard and couldn't find a way to deal with the catapult. If that thing is not destroyed, his own crossbow will not be effective, and he will not be able to defeat the opponent's chariot and crossbow in close combat.

The next day, Xuanyuan Tianzong continued to attack, and Dingbeihou had to order another retreat.

On the third day, when Marquis Dingbei was at his wits' end, his soldiers suddenly ran in and reported with horror on their faces that a wolf as big as a bison had come outside the military camp and was confronting the army.

"Huh?" Marquis Dingbei was also stunned. A wolf as big as a bison, the Yufeng Wolf of the Star Territory is not that big.

Something strange happened, and Dingbeihou temporarily put his thoughts aside, got up and followed his soldiers out of the military camp.

When he saw this huge giant wolf, Dingbei Hou was immediately stunned. He looked at the way this guy grinned, how could it look like a crab.

With his heart moving, Marquis Dingbei tried to shout.

"Ouch~" the crab howled and nodded repeatedly.

"It's really a crab, why are you so big... By the way, Jiang Xingchen is here!" Dingbei Hou's eyes suddenly lit up. The current situation is exactly when this boy is needed.

Immediately, Marquis Dingbei waved his hand and told the stunned soldiers to retreat. He walked to the crab and saw a huge bag hanging around the crab's neck.

"What is this?" Dingbeihou looked at the crab and asked, "Is it for me?"

"Woo~" Crab nodded.

Dingbeihou took off the big bag and felt that it was very heavy, weighing at least two thousand kilograms.

"What is this?" Dingbei Hou opened the bag with doubts, and saw that it was full of black iron lumps, and there was a folded white silk on the surface.

Dingbei Hou was even more confused when he saw it. He took out the white silk and opened it to look at it. In an instant, his expression changed.
