Chapter 198
Yang Xiu couldn't protect the catapult with a barrier because if the catapult was wrapped, the stones couldn't be thrown, but he could carve array patterns on the catapult; these array patterns improved the accuracy of the catapult while also increasing the range. All the stones had been carved with array patterns by Yang Xiu, and their power was no less than cannonballs.
Several barbarian soldiers were about to load stones onto the catapult when Meng Su's arrow had already arrived; a black light shot onto the stone, and the stone was squeezed by huge force, activating the explosion array eye inside the array patterns. With a boom, the catapult exploded.
This explosion immediately caused a chain reaction, blowing up all the hoarded stones carved with array patterns. It was as if a fireworks and firecracker shop had exploded in the distance.
The barbarian army began to scramble for their lives; those who ran slowly were smashed to pieces under the huge explosion, blood rained from the sky, and the scene was extremely miserable.
The barbarian army that launched the attack this time had about thirty or forty thousand people and twenty catapults, seven or eight of which were connected together and were blown into fragments.
Looking at the big explosion beside him, Yang Xiu felt heartache as if it were bleeding, and he could no longer care about the attack, so he issued an order to retreat and at the same time augmented the defensive array.
Seeing Meng Su repel the barbarian army with two arrows, the generals on the city wall all cheered. Li Huan'er looked at her husband, her eyes full of worship and infinite love.
Meng Su watched the retreating barbarian army gradually get out of the range of his arrows and could only give up resentfully.
The enemy retreated, and Meng Su and others returned to the Great Hall. After this fright, Li Wuguo seemed to have lost her nerve and had no heart to hold court anymore, so she perfunctorily said a few words and left.
Meng Su muttered to himself while walking back, "Acting quite like it, it's a pity not to be an actor; could it be that the old turtle choosing disciples must have acting talent?"
Meng Su was walking toward the Consort Mansion when he ran into the bustling Ye Baiyi head-on; Ye Baiyi was so busy that he was sweating profusely and didn't even notice Meng Su walking past him. It wasn't until Meng Su called him that he looked up and saw Meng Su.
Ye Baiyi greeted Meng Su and turned to leave, Meng Su asked strangely, "General Ye, where are you busy going to make a fortune?"
Ye Baiyi smiled mysteriously at Meng Su, "I'm going to give the barbarian army a surprise. Just wait and see." Ye Baiyi left bustlingly.
"Mysterious." Meng Su shook his head and left.
Rushing back to the Consort Mansion, it was already late; this was the first day Li Wuguo said. Meng Su still believed in Li Wuguo's deduction because the damage left to Meng Su by the old man named Heavenly Secret was unforgettable; the people he favored should be reliable.
At night, Meng Su held Li Huan'er and couldn't sleep no matter what; Li Wuguo's words were still in his ears, and his emotions as a man gradually evolved into desire; Meng Su was born in modern society, and if it weren't for encountering this, Meng Su would have already married and had children.
Feeling Meng Su's passion, Li Huan'er hugged Meng Su, then kissed Meng Su on the mouth quickly and said, "Husband, be patient, in another seven or eight days..."
"Damn, there's still no fate, it's not my fault this time." A wail came from the bottom of Meng Su's heart.
Meng Su, who had calmed down, soon fell into a deep sleep. Hearing Meng Su's deep breathing, Li Huan'er quietly lay on Meng Su's chest, looking at Meng Su's face obsessively. It was as if a flower had grown on Meng Su's face.
Although Meng Su didn't belong to the kind of handsome that shocked heaven and earth, his facial proportions were just right, his face was like a knife cut, and he had a unique charm.
The key was that since Meng Su was castrated, his temperament had changed greatly, and appearance was born from the heart; this face also lost its original peace and became sharp and even a bit fierce. Especially the eyes with double eyelids that were originally not big or small became long and narrow, which greatly affected his original appearance.
Meng Su never cared about these things. He was as he was. He regarded appearance as dung, although he didn't have much appearance either. At first, his only thought was to restore his male body, but later, after it was restored, he was swept along by various endless events and ran wildly; in fact, Meng Su still wanted to return to his original world and be a director of neurology.
Li Huan'er sighed, kissed Meng Su on the cheek like a dragonfly touching water, and fell asleep lying on Meng Su.
The next day, there was no battle all day; this was the second day Li Wuguo said. Meng Su knew that the opponent must be brewing some big evil. Meng Su made up his mind that if they didn't come to attack tomorrow, he would go to raid the camp at night. Bring Ye Baiyi.
Didn't Ye Baiyi boast that he was very capable in array formation? Then he should at least have the basic ability to drill a hole in the barrier.
As long as Yang Guangyin was killed, everything would be over.
On the third day, before dawn, Meng Su was awakened by a huge impact sound, and Meng Su hurriedly put on his clothes and got up. Li Huan'er also put on her armor, and the two walked to the city wall.
Because it was still dawn, a large group of people was looming in the hazy front; the barbarian army attacked in a big way. This time Yang Xiu learned to be obedient and placed the catapults ten miles away; at this distance, even if Meng Su had heaven-reaching abilities, his arrows couldn't reach, but Yang Xiu carved space array patterns on the stones, so the catapult stones could hit the Tang Capital.
The sound just now was the sound of stones falling above the Tang Capital.
Just as Meng Su was looking into the distance, at his wit's end, Ye Baiyi drilled out from somewhere, came to Meng Su's side, and said excitedly, "This time I want them to taste my power."
Meng Su looked at Ye Baiyi sideways and said disdainfully, "You make it sound like you are very powerful; if you are powerful, why did the catapults still hit? Would you die if you didn't brag?"
"That was an accident, General Meng, just wait and see." Ye Baiyi said excitedly.
It was indeed an accident; that attack was a test by the barbarian army; they were adjusting their positions to find the best attack position. After half a stick of incense, the barbarian army completed the test, and countless stones emitting light rushed toward the Tang Capital with a whistle.
This time the opponent dispatched three or four hundred catapults; this was all the catapults of the barbarian army, it seemed Yang Guangyin was determined to win.
Everyone looked at the stones filling the sky that could smash the Tang Capital into ruins in despair, sighing in their hearts: "It's over. The Tang Capital is over, the Tang Principality is over."
Soon those stones crashed above the Tang Capital; a bright light appeared above the Tang Capital, and a hexagonal mirror appeared out of thin air above the Tang Capital. Then other hexagonal mirrors appeared one after another. Finally, a hexagonal barrier was formed, wrapping the Tang Capital inside.
Those stones smashed onto the barrier and lost their trace, neither emitting a huge explosion nor sound. It was as if they had merged into the barrier.
A white light flashed on the hexagonal mirror surface, and those stones that had originally smashed onto the Tang Capital barrier began to reverse rapidly, as if they had been mirrored back by the mirror on the hexagon.
The fact was indeed so; the stones filling the sky, as long as they flew in front of the mirror, flew back to the enemy camp in reverse.
For a time, the barbarian army was in chaos; these array stones all carried explosion array formations, and they set off huge explosions as soon as they landed. This round of explosions killed nearly one-third of the barbarian army.
Yang Xiu ran around, stopping the catapult attack. He mobilized the infantry, preparing to attack the city.
Yang Xiu was indeed an offensive array cultivator; he made grenades for the barbarian army. This kind of gunpowder package carved with array patterns had amazing power. Exploding against the mirror array, the mirror array couldn't mirror it, and for a time, the mirror array was shaken, as if it would shatter at any time.
The generals were frightened, their faces changed, only Ye Baiyi said with a smile, "Don't worry, they won't be able to blow this array open in three or four days. We won't give them three or four days. Not returning a courtesy is not polite, let's go raid the camp."
