Standing inside the Moonlit Pass at this moment, Li Chen felt as if he were standing in a huge square.

This square is surrounded by immensely tall city walls that stretch as far as the eye can see, standing between heaven and earth, revealing a desolate scene.

...And in this square, there were almost no buildings, but soldiers everywhere, with no civilians. ...

The soldiers came and went in a hurry.

Every soldier is burdened with military duties.

The sound of war hung over their heads, urging them on and demanding they never falter.

Under a veil of darkness, no one can escape.

Li Chen looked at Wu Qingcang and asked, “Is there no longer any common people”

"Those wearing armor are all." Wu Qingcang replied.

Li Chen nodded silently and said, "Now I know why you made me see these things with my own eyes. They are indeed more convincing to see than to read about. If they were only written down, how could anyone believe they were real"

At this moment, the cries of "kill!" suddenly rose.

"The Liao army has launched another offensive. This time, it should be aimed at the East City Wall where we are stationed."

Wu Qingcang frowned and said, "Your Highness, please go to the City Lord's Mansion to rest for a while."

Saying it was a rest, it was actually letting Li Chen hide for the time being.

After all, the Liao army wouldn't recognize a Great Qin prince, and Li Chen's appearance might even make them more excited.

We have captured the prince of Qin! That is a tremendous feat.

Even if he can't be captured alive, killing him on the spot would be enough to exchange for a Marquis title.

"Go to the city wall and have a look." Li Chen said directly.

Before Wu Qingcang could stop him, Li Chen had already followed the reinforcements up the city wall with the soldiers.

Wu Qingscang's face darkened, and he immediately ordered: "Bring the Imperial Guard!"

Under no circumstances can the prince be harmed.

Not only Wu Qingsang, but Xu Wei was even more careful.

He immediately had the Jinyi Wei surround and protect Li Chen, but he was scolded by Li Chen for doing so.

"Am I a pig's brain With so many people protecting me up close, even a fool knows my identity isn't ordinary. Isn't this the Liao army's sharpshooter aiming an arrow at me"

"Huh" Xu Wei was startled, he came to his senses, Li Chen's words were indeed reasonable.

"Master Xu, armor, the armor of ordinary soldiers." Xiaoguozi reminded cautiously.

Xu Wei suddenly understood and looked at Xiaozi gratefully. He hurriedly found someone to bring a set of armor for Li Chen.

Xu Wei was finally not stupid enough to wear a regular captain's armor, knowing that it wouldn't make him look like a mere soldier trying too hard to cover up. However, his status wasn't high enough for the Liao army to target him specifically.

Li Chen donned his armor and quickly ascended the city wall.

The city wall of Yueya Pass was exceptionally high and the armor on it was heavy. Just running up, Li Chen had already expended most of his strength.

And the other soldiers, even the most ordinary privates, all had calm expressions, clearly used to it.

Li Chen, who felt a little inadequate, found a safe spot and peeked outside.

This was Li Chen's first time seeing a large-scale siege operation during the feudal era.

He only saw that outside the city walls, the ground was densely packed with soldiers. These soldiers surged forward like a tide, rushing to the foot of the city wall and launching assaults with various siege weapons, fearlessly charging into battle.

As darkness descended, soldiers clad in Liao armor swarmed like a tide of black ants, their battle cries shaking the heavens and earth.

And around Li Chen, on the city wall, huge stones and tung oil were constantly being flung down. The archers from both sides fired at each other, and besides the shouts of killing, there were also the cries of the wounded.

Every minute, every second, people are dying.

On such a battlefield, life is the cheapest thing. lines and heading straight for the trebuchets at their rear.The cannons of this era are simply inadequate in both power and accuracy.The cumbersome crimson cannon, if it were to hit its target, relie...
