Lin Xiaoyue was satisfied that the arrow did not miss and put down her crossbow.

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, she smiled and said, “let’s continue walking.”.

Li Xiao smiled.

“Follow me.” After saying that, he continued forward.

The few soldiers of the Nangong Army could not calm down.

There were a large number of soldiers in front of them, and the path had long been cleared. They wanted to kill the enemy, but they couldn’t.

However, they had the time to chat with their Madam.

“Madam, your crossbow is so powerful! When can I get one?” A soldier asked Lin Xiaoyue fawningly.

“Yes, Madam! We have so many people returning to the border this time. Only those hundred brothers were given the crossbows. Everyone is envious.” Another soldier of the Nangong Army said.

“Madam…” The other two Nangong Army soldiers quickly followed suit.

Lin Xiaoyue smiled as she was escorted forward.

“What’s the rush? The manufacturing technique of the ballista has already been reported. The Imperial Court will speed up the production.”

“When the items are out, we will give priority to all of you.”

This was almost certain.

This was because this thing would only be more effective on people with good skills.

In a great battle, the Nangong Army would often act as the vanguard or the assault team.

With such a weapon, the Nangong Army’s combat power and destructive power would be even greater.

For ordinary soldiers, having a crossbow might affect their original combat strength.

The eyes of the Nangong Army soldiers lit up when they heard this.

One by one, they began to flatter Lin Xiaoyue.

Others might not know the situation, but they had heard some news.

The crossbow was said to be developed by the weapons battalion of the Nangong Army, but Madam played a big role in this.

Some people even suspected that it was developed by her.

Lin Xiaoyue responded with a smile, feeling quite pleased.

As time passed, Lin Xiaoyue and the others finally approached the city tower.

At this moment, thousands of Jin soldiers had all fallen.

The Nangong Army started to clean up the battlefield.

On the city tower, the battle was also nearing its end.

The Jin army had indeed sent 10,000 people this time. 6,000 of them entered the city, and the remaining 4,000 did not enter the city.

When they realized that they had been tricked, the 4,000 soldiers outside the city tried to rescue the people in the city and launched an attack.

Unfortunately, the Iron Gate was very tall and easy to defend.

The Jin army tried to attack several times, but they all failed.

Moreover, under the attacks of the Nangong Army’s arrows and boulders, they had suffered quite a few losses.

By the time Li Xiao and Lin Xiaoyue boarded the city tower, the Jin army had already given up.

They had dragged on for too long. Even if they broke through the city gate now, everyone in the city would have died.

The sneak attack had already failed. If this continued, they would only suffer more losses.

Not far away, Xu Qing, who was riding a horse, had a gloomy expression.

When his master went out to battle, he invited a general to help his master take down Iron Gate Mountain and make the first contribution.

However, he was defeated.

He had brought 10,000 men out, but now, he could only bring back less than 3,000 men.

Xu Qing gritted his teeth when he thought about the ridicule and humiliation he might suffer when he returned.

“Who is guarding this Iron Gate Mountain?” Xu Qing gritted his teeth and asked.

He didn’t believe that the general guarding the pass was just a small official in the territory of a vassal king.

The other party was extremely scheming, and the soldiers guarding the city were all brave and not ordinary soldiers.

At this moment, a shout came from the city tower.

“Marshal Li is here. May I know who is leading the army?” A soldier shouted.

Xu Qing was stunned.

Li Xiao?

Yes, they already knew who the commander of the Yan army was, but they had yet to find out the details.

He only knew that the other party was a new king of Yan Country and was highly valued.

“Inform the other party.” Thinking of this, Xu Qing said to the soldier beside him.

The soldiers immediately stepped forward and raised their voices. “This is General Xu Qing of the Great Jin!” they shouted.

On the city tower, Li Xiao and Lin Xiaoyue were both stunned.

Xu Qing? Was it the disciple that Xu Yan had brought to participate in the Arithmetic Competition?

What a coincidence!

Li Xiao and Lin Xiaoyue looked at each other and then took a step forward.

“I am Li Xiao. Please allow me to come forward and talk to General Xu Qing.” He said.

When Xu Qing heard this, he felt that the person who spoke was extraordinary.

After thinking for a moment, he urged his horse forward.

They only stopped when they reached the front of the group..
