Chapter 73: The Turkic Invade Again

"Oh?"

"Could it be that there are other secrets regarding General Cheng's death?"

"Indeed!"

Meng Gu nodded, "As the garrison general of Anwu Prefecture, General Cheng's strength was peerless throughout the entire frontier stronghold, and he and General Zhao Ping, the garrison general of Dingning Pass, were collectively known as the Twin Stars of the Frontier."

"Yet, he died in battle while confronting Wu Tu, the previous generation's king of the Turkic Wuji Tribe. It was by no means a loss in strength, but a loss in tactics!"

"What!"

The situation Meng Gu described could not help but leave Chu Feng feeling deeply shocked.

He had not expected that there were such secrets hidden within it.

"Damn, how come Zhu Kang never mentioned this to me?"

"This matter was only discovered later; Zhu Kang's rank was not high enough, so he was unaware of it," Han Geng explained the reason.

"Then how exactly did General Cheng die, and how should I avoid it?"

"This is not difficult. Here, take this!"

Meng Gu handed a piece of jade to Chu Feng, "General Cheng's death was because his divine soul suffered heavy damage; otherwise, it would clearly have been impossible for Wu Tu to kill General Cheng."

"As for why Wu Tu possessed the ability to heavily damage a divine soul, that remains unknown, and executing this move also caused him no small amount of damage; otherwise, Anwu County would no longer exist."

"Many thanks for the gift, Brother Meng. I, Chu, owe you a favor!"

"You are too polite, it is just a small favor. In the future, if I run out of wine, just don't turn me away; I will pay for it as usual!"

"Haha, no problem!"

Chu Feng waved his hand, and the Pills in the room instantly vanished.

This scene truly gave Han Geng and Meng Gu a fright.

They had not expected that Chu Feng actually possessed an artifact capable of storing items.

As for what it was, the two did not ask further.

Soon, delicious dishes were served on the dining table.

The three of them drank and chatted happily.

Meng Gu and Han Geng stayed in Anwu County for two days before taking their leave.

Both of them had official business to attend to and it was not convenient to overstay their welcome.

Furthermore, Chu Feng also had to train his troops to defend against the Turkic.

After seeing the two off.

Chu Feng immediately threw himself into the training of his troops.

With the massive amount of Pills provided by Meng Gu.

The cultivation speed of the ordinary soldiers had all seen a significant increase.

Besides this.

The forging work of the Heavy Armor was also nearing its end.

The formation of the Heavy Cavalry had also begun to take shape.

After a period of time.

Niu Yuan, whom Chu Feng had dispatched to scout the Turkic hinterlands, returned with his scout squad.

"Reporting to the General!"

"Scout squad leader Niu Yuan has come to report!"

"You've worked hard!"

Chu Feng offered a word of comfort, "How is it? What is the situation over at the Turkic Wuji Tribe?"

"Reporting to the General, the Turkic Wuji Tribe has raised an army of fifty thousand and will come to invade our pass in a few days."

"They have even made fierce threats to trample Anwu County, capture the General alive, and leave no living soul in the entire Anwu County!"

"Hmph! What big talk!"

As these words were spoken.

Several of Chu Feng's Colonels could instantly no longer sit still.

These barbarians were truly too arrogant.

Had they forgotten how they were defeated before?

Even their Prince had been captured alive by them.

They still wanted to trample Anwu County? They weren't afraid of breaking their own teeth!

"Alright, I understand."

Chu Feng was clear, "You and the brothers of the scout squad have worked hard this time. Go down and receive your rewards; a banquet has already been prepared for you."

"Many thanks, General!"

After Niu Yuan left.

Chu Feng immediately began preparing for the upcoming response.

After months of preparation.

The Iron Pagoda had fully formed into a scale, just waiting for the upcoming live-combat drill.

Over a hundred Three-Bow Bed Crossbows had also been prepared during this time.

Just waiting to show off their might.

Xiang Yuan, Qiu Ming, and Lu Shuwan were even more eager to get into the action.

Just waiting to use these Turkic dog bastards to draw blood.

Three days later.

The fifty-thousand-strong Turkic army led by Chu Liu marched imposingly toward Anwu County.

According to what they knew.

There were only ten thousand or so troops within Anwu County.

And the vast majority were ordinary civilians who had been newly recruited.

Even the original Dingning Pass Iron Cavalry, which had caused the Turkic army heavy losses back then, only numbered two thousand.

The reason for that crushing defeat was entirely due to being caught off guard.

Added to that was their negligence, which allowed the enemy to burn everything to the ground with a single fire.

If it were a head-on collision.

These resistance forces would not be able to stir up any trouble at all.

"Hmph, a tiny Anwu County dares to block the advance of my Turkic army? Today, we must break through Anwu County and avenge Prince Wu Ha!"

"General, I am willing to serve as the vanguard and take Anwu County for you!"

"Good, Gao Dang, I grant you ten thousand troops to attack Anwu County!"

"Yes, General!"

Gao Dang received the order and left.

Ten thousand troops marched imposingly out of the camp and headed straight for Anwu County.

"General, they are here!"

Lu Shuwan pointed toward the Turkic vanguard troops ahead.

According to observations.

The enemy's numbers were around ten thousand.

"Order the troops to prepare for battle; once the enemy enters range, the Bed Crossbows are to fire immediately!"

"Yes, General!"

Lu Shuwan accepted the order.

All the soldiers responsible for the Bed Crossbows stood ready in strict formation.

They had long since witnessed the true power of the Bed Crossbows.

They were just waiting to teach this bunch of Turkic soldiers a good lesson in a moment.

"Come on, hurry up and come! Your grandfathers are going to treat you bastards to some candied haws!"

"Tell me, how many are you planning to skewer later?"

"That's gotta be at least eight or ten of them!"

"Too small, your vision is too small; at the very least, it's gotta be a dozen or twenty!"

"Hahahaha..."

The other city-defending soldiers cast envious gazes toward the Bed Crossbows.

They also really wanted to experience the power of the Bed Crossbows.

Unfortunately, this thing required someone with immense strength to be able to crank it.

"Lads, the time to achieve merit and establish a career has arrived; follow me and charge!"

"Charge!"

Ten thousand Turkic soldiers immediately launched a charge.

The massive crowd kicked up waves of dust, and the earth itself trembled at this moment.

"The enemy has entered range, prepare the Bed Crossbows!"

At the order.

The Bed Crossbow soldiers immediately pulled the winches to begin storing power.

"Fire!"

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

Dozens of Bed Crossbows fired in response; the massive arrows flew out under the force of the powerful potential energy, even drawing long arcs in the air.

The next moment.

Countless screams suddenly exploded within the Turkic ranks.

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

The Three-Bow Bed Crossbow had a terrifying range of one thousand paces.

These Turkic soldiers hadn't even approached the city wall before their bodies were pierced through by the massive arrows.

Some were even skewered seven or eight at a time.

"What kind of weapon is this?"

The vanguard Gao Dang was shocked and terrified.

He had never witnessed a weapon with such a long range.

Right now, they were at least eight hundred paces away from Anwu County.

Yet their weapons were actually able to hit them.

After the first volley, the second volley immediately followed.

This time, it caused even greater casualties to the Turkic army.

"Scatter, everyone hurry and scatter!"

Gao Dang also immediately formulated a counter-strategy.

The soldiers must absolutely not be allowed to gather together, otherwise they will all be skewered like candied haws.

At the same time.

A strange situation was also occurring on Chu Feng's side.

【Killing Points +1!】

【Killing Points +1!】

【Killing Points +1!】

【+1+1+1+1+1......】

"What the hell, what is going on?"

The sudden situation took Chu Feng by surprise.

He had not expected that his soldiers killing enemies could also count as his own points.

Such a situation could not help but remind him of his encounter back in Yizhou.

He remembered that he had spent ten thousand points to upgrade the system.

It stood to reason that this was a benefit brought about by the system upgrade.

"Great, with this function, my Killing Points will be endless in the future!"

Just as Chu Feng was rejoicing over his new ability.

On the other side, Gao Dang was already being tormented to the point of exhaustion.

"No, those Bed Crossbows on the city wall must be destroyed, otherwise the casualties will be far too great!"

Gao Dang brandished his broadsword, hacking away several massive arrows.

He then stepped onto the horse's head and charged straight toward the Anwu County city wall.

He possessed the cultivation strength of the Grandmaster Mid Stage.

Once he climbed the city wall, he would certainly cause massive casualties to the defending soldiers.

"Oh no, the opponent is a Grandmaster, we cannot stop him!"

Lu Shuwan was shocked and terrified.

She only had Post-Heaven Peak cultivation at the moment, not even Innate.

Once the opponent killed his way up, all of them would be finished.

At this critical, hair-trigger moment.

A figure appeared by their side.
