Chapter 383: The Second Round of Rocket Rain

Zhang Yu was stunned; after coming to his senses, he rubbed his eyes vigorously.

Weren't these the Red Barbarian Cannons the Fusang People had just used against them? A mere three cannons had sent them into total disarray.

And now, there were actually eight cannons!

With so many Red Barbarian Cannons, they could completely level a small hill!

Zhang Yu simply couldn't believe it. "Bai, these cannons... are, are they from you?"

"Yes." Bai Wei was crisp and decisive, looking up toward the door. "Take your men and retreat!"

The archers outside the wall had finished their first round of Rocket fire and had temporarily ceased their offensive.

But soon, they would load the second batch of Rockets and attack again.

"Time is tight." Bai Wei looked directly at Xiao Moting. "So, I will command this battle."

The Yuan Clan Army's second round of Rockets would arrive very soon.

To deal with the more than thirty thousand troops of the Yuan Clan Army, relying on manpower alone would not lead to victory; one could only rely on equipment to reverse the tide of battle!

The Northern Frontier Army had been uniformly trained with guns, but they did not know how to use the Red Barbarian Cannons, and there was no time to teach them now; they could only order the captured Fusang People to operate the Red Barbarian Cannons.

However, most of the captured Fusang People only spoke the Fusang language, and the rest only knew simple Daliang language; here, besides her, there was simply no second person who could communicate smoothly with these Fusang captives.

Bai Wei was going to command these Fusang captives to operate the Red Barbarian Cannons and deal with the Yuan Clan Army outside the gate!

The area around the courtyard fell silent.

Soldiers, generals... all looked at Bai Wei in disbelief; some were even so shocked their mouths hung open.

A frail woman was actually going to command thousands of troops?

From ancient times to the present, the Chief Commander on the battlefield had always been a man; letting a woman serve as Chief Commander was something that had never happened before.

Even Han Guiying was only responsible for leading the female soldiers and assisting Xiao Moting in battle; it was impossible for her to serve as Chief Commander on the battlefield.

Xiao Moting was the first to react; he immediately stepped forward and knelt on one knee.

"I ask Shennü Daren to issue the order. Prince of Zhenbei Xiao Moting, and all the Northern Frontier Army, are willing to obey your command!"

At this critical moment of life and death, he no longer hid it.

The Peasant Army and the Northern Frontier Army were already grasshoppers on the same string, sharing life and death; they would either live together or die together!

Zhang Yu's eyes widened larger than copper bells, the shock in his heart like a tsunami.

"Goddess, is Bai the legendary Beijiang Goddess?"

Suddenly, he realized!

No wonder Bai was so omnipotent, able to produce so many supplies to treat the Peasant Army, and able to make so many Red Barbarian Cannons descend from the sky in the blink of an eye.

Zhang Yu came to his senses and knelt down without hesitation.

"I, Zhang, am also willing to follow the Goddess and obey your orders!"

Once he knelt, countless Peasant Army soldiers followed suit, kneeling on the ground and shouting loudly.

"We are willing to obey you! Please, Shennü Daren, issue the order!"

Bai Wei nodded and quickly gave instructions to Qin Zhan.

"Immediately distribute the guns and Ammunition, and have the Northern Frontier Army guard the gate to prevent the Yuan Clan Army from breaking through!"

Suddenly, a sound of piercing through the air rang out in the sky!

Swish, swish, swish!

Rockets shot over in the sky like a swarm of locusts!

The Yuan Clan Army's second round of arrow rain had arrived!

The soldiers in the courtyard were caught off guard; seeing the arrows falling like rain and flames raging, they all fell into chaos, some dodging, some hiding.

The previous Rocket offensive had been too fierce, and everyone was terrified.

Xiao Moting took a stride and immediately rushed in front of Bai Wei, shielding her firmly behind him.

The next second, Qin Zhan and Xiao Lujing also rushed up without hesitation, using their bodies to block in front of her.

Zhang Yu hacked a Rocket apart with his Long Sword and roared.

"Protect Bai!"

Amidst the panic, only Bai Wei looked calm.

She looked up at the Rockets filling the sky and let out a light breath.

"Truly spectacular; I never expected that I would be able to see the scene of the burning of Red Cliff with my own eyes."

After speaking, Bai Wei waved her hand.

In the blink of an eye, a small mountain of ore descended from the sky, crashing into the courtyard with a clatter, forming a tall stone mountain that blocked the soldiers behind it.

The stone mountain was like an indestructible wall, blocking most of the Rockets.

"Clang, clang, clatter."

The Rockets struck the stone mountain one after another.

Following the crisp sound of metal colliding with stone, almost all the Rockets were blocked.

Zhang Yu had been standing in front of Bai Wei, intending to help her deflect a few Rockets, but he was caught off guard when he saw a stone mountain descend from the sky and land with a boom in front of him; he was instantly dumbfounded.

The Peasant Army soldiers were also dodging everywhere, but when they suddenly saw the stone mountain appear, they were all stunned, frozen and foolish, their eyeballs almost popping out.

With a flick of her finger, Bai Wei had actually created a great mountain out of thin air!

Zhang Yu rubbed his eyes hard; if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he simply wouldn't have believed it.

He kept muttering to himself.

"God, Bai is truly an immortal..."

Suddenly, a Peasant Army soldier shouted excitedly.

"This is the Heavenly Goddess, she has come to save us."

"The Heavenly Goddess has descended to the mortal world!"

Immediately following, the Peasant Army scrambled to kneel on the ground, kowtowing to Bai Wei with expressions of extreme piety.

Bai Wei was caught between laughter and tears.

"Get up quickly, I am not any Heavenly Goddess."

In truth, these ores were all Iron Ore hoarded by the Fusang People; Bai Wei had just stored them in her space, and now, seeing the Rocket attack coming, she had a flash of inspiration and used her Mental Power to move the ores out again, piling them into a stone mountain at the courtyard gate!

Now she could use her Mental Power to control where objects landed, so she used her Mental Power to control a large quantity of ore, piling it into a mountain of ore in the courtyard to block the Rockets.

These stones were all Iron Ore and were extremely sturdy.

Compared to bunkers made of sandbags in war, a stone bunker composed of Iron Ore was simply an impregnable fortress.

There was not even a blade of grass on the stone mountain; even if hit by a Rocket, it could not catch fire, and even a blade could not cut through it!

With the Peasant Army present, Bai Wei no longer hid her abilities.

She had just heard the conversation between Zhang Yu and Xiao Moting.

These peasants were all from impoverished backgrounds, and some could not even write their own names, yet these peasants were willing to risk their lives to cover her escape; what else did she have to distrust?

The incoming Rockets were mostly blocked by the mountain of ore.

Any stray Rockets that landed in the courtyard were quickly extinguished by everyone, unable to spark even the slightest flame.

After the second round of Rockets, Bai Wei knew that the Yuan Clan troops would certainly take their next step.

Her Mental Power could not be abused; having created such a massive mountain of ore had already consumed quite a bit of energy, and Bai Wei could not create another stone mountain.

Taking advantage of the gap after the Yuan Family Army's second wave of attacks ended, Bai Wei raised her voice and shouted.

"Zhang Yu, follow my orders: take the Peasant Army and hide on both sides, assist the Deputy General, and slaughter the Yuan Clan vanguard that has broken in!"

After speaking, she waved her hand.

"Clatter!"

Over a thousand Repeating Crossbows, Qing Bows, Anti-riot Shields... a large batch of equipment descended from the sky, landing before the eyes of the Peasant Army.

These were all weapons she had stored in the Warehouse before coming to Daliang.

The Peasant Army did not know how to use guns and could not go to the front lines, but they could surely use Bow and Arrows and Shields; she would let them stay in the rear and shoot the invading enemies.

Seeing a huge pile of weapons appear before them.

The Peasant Army was dumbfounded once again, and then inexplicably excited!

These were all top-quality weapons; the Heavenly Goddess was truly amazing!
