The daughter of a general is reborn to save the whole family of the marquis

Wherever King Cheng went, the people were living in misery. Every household had to take out their grain, some of which was sent to the government office as reserve food, and some was sent to Yanzhou City and Lancheng City.

Men were captured to make divine crossbows, and their lives were kept hanging by a thread with one meal a day, squeezing out their value. Women were captured and sent to the army to comfort the soldiers.

The sounds of carnival and pain have become the main theme of Yizhou City.

The divine crossbow was indeed powerful. Ding Sheng and Qin Yi had never surrendered, but they were covered in wounds and were retreating all the way, almost leaving the territory of Yizhou.

Now they are in a county town under Yizhou City, Qingfeng County. The people of Qingfeng County have heard about the miserable conditions of people in other places. Although they are with Ding Sheng, Qin Yi and others at the moment, they are also trembling with fear.

"I heard that the divine crossbow can kill anyone it aims at, and it is invincible on the battlefield."

The people said so, and the soldiers under Ding Sheng and Qin Yi also said so. The breath of death and defeat lingered above their heads, like dark clouds that blocked all the sunlight.

The morale of the military is unstable.

"That damn Liu Guang actually opened the city gate and welcomed Dongfang Shuo into the city. If it weren't for him, Yizhou City wouldn't be in such a miserable state now!" Qin Yi cursed.

Ding Sheng was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "I heard that Wangshan, who was close to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, also betrayed..."

Qin Yi glanced at him. Both of them were injured. This battle... was very dangerous. He knew what Ding Sheng meant, but Ding Sheng just didn't say it directly.

Qin Yi said: "The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess will not give up on us. Reinforcements will surely arrive soon. Let's hold on!"

Ding Sheng got married half a year ago. Before going to the war, the doctor took his wife's pulse and found out that she was pregnant. He was very happy.

He looked at Qin Yi, moving his lips, wanting to say that he missed his wife, but in the end he closed his lips and did not say this.

Who among those present didn't miss their family? Many, many people, like him, missed their wives. Even if they were unmarried, they would miss their relatives.

He stood up, dragging his wounds all over his body, and went to tell his men: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has sent reinforcements."

"Yes, we are on the way."

"Let's wait a little longer. The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess will not let us be wiped out."

This word spread quickly and everyone knew it. The shaken morale of the army gradually stabilized. They believed that as long as they held on, reinforcements would surely arrive.

Only Qin Yi stared at Ding Sheng. They had not received any news that reinforcements were on the way.

Maybe reinforcements will really come, but they are already trapped in Qingfeng County and probably won't be able to wait for them to arrive.

Moreover, even if reinforcements arrived, could they be a match for King Cheng?

The divine crossbows in their hands...

"Your Highness King Cheng, could you please let me feel this magic crossbow?" On the city wall of Yizhou City, Liu Guang was extremely curious about the magic crossbow.

Dongfang Shuo raised his eyebrows and looked at him, a faint light flashed in his eyes: "Are you sure?"

Liu Guang nodded, and was so sure that he couldn't be more sure. "I have been your Highness and Princess Cheng's man for a long time. How can I not be sure?"

Yes, Liu Guang had become a subordinate of Runxue and his wife years ago. He did not rebel only when Dongfang Shuo's army was at the gates of the city.

Dongfang Shuo pointed at the team passing by under the city wall. The team was composed of ordinary people from Yizhou City, and they were carrying crossbows and arrows.

"I can give you the divine crossbow, but Lord Liu must shoot the tallest man to death, otherwise you will be punished."

"This..." Liu Guang was sweating. "My archery skills are average. I am afraid I will disappoint Your Highness."

At this time, he no longer wanted to look at the magic crossbow, but Dongfang Shuo put it in his hand and said, "Shoot."

It was as if those people were nothing more than ants.

Liu Guang wiped the sweat off his forehead and after briefly understanding the structure of the magic crossbow, he aimed the crossbow at the tall and thin man.

Retracting his gaze, he stole a glance at Dongfang Shuo, but unexpectedly Dongfang Shuo was looking at him. Liu Guang knew that he had to shoot the arrow even if he didn't want to. Closing his eyes, Liu Guang suddenly pulled the trigger.

Someone in the team fell down. It was the man next to the tall guy. Liu Guang missed the shot.

Dongfang Shuo said, "It doesn't matter. Sir Liu still has a chance. When you shoot the tall man, you can return the magic crossbow to me."

Later, Liu Guang shot and killed another person before he accurately shot the tall man to death. There were continuous shouting and crying at the scene, but it only lasted for a cup of tea before it became quiet and everyone continued to carry the crossbows.

Liu Guang smiled and said, "Your Highness, the lethality of this divine crossbow is truly amazing. I didn't expect that I would succeed in killing the target on the third try after only practicing twice. I have never achieved such amazing results when I was shooting arrows before. King Cheng and his wife are indeed amazing."

"Is the magic crossbow made by Princess Cheng really that powerful?" A man's calm voice rang out in the weapon room of the Duke of Cheng's Mansion in Shengjing City, "How about trying this, Princess?"

Chu Heyi looked up at the crossbow arrow handed to him by the man. The man holding the crossbow arrow was Zheng Yizhao. He had been in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion for several years and had basically been studying weapons in the armory.

The previous wall-climbing and mountain-climbing cat claws, etc. were all made by Zheng Yizhao. Now, he took out a crossbow. Chu Heyi took it, carefully examined its structure, and shot according to what Zheng Yizhao said.

She was skilled in archery and horse riding, and was very adept at using the crossbow. After she pulled the trigger, the arrow flew through the air and hit the bull's eye sixty feet away.

Zheng Yizhao said, "This crossbow is called the God-killing Crossbow. What do you think, Crown Princess?"

He had been developing this thing for a long time, but he had been improving it all the time. Now that he was finally satisfied, he brought it to Chu Heyi.

In the night and candlelight, Chu Heyi slowly raised her lips and smiled. This was the first time she had smiled from the bottom of her heart since her father's sacrifice.

"The name is great. The one made by Princess Cheng is called the Divine Crossbow, so ours will be called the God-killing Crossbow."

She returned the God-killing Crossbow to Zheng Yizhao and said, "Let Fourth Brother take you to the palace to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince order that a large number of God-killing Crossbows be manufactured from now on."

Zheng Yizhao thought about it, and finally said only one word: "Okay."

He and Chu Ren entered the palace overnight and informed Xie Lin of Chu Heyi's intention. Xie Lin immediately gave an order to start mass-producing God-killing crossbows overnight and to build an army of God-killing crossbows as quickly as possible and head to Yizhou City.

But who will lead the troops? Who will be the commander? Who will lead the charge?

This is another big problem. Chu Zhen’s sacrifice, Wen Tingshen’s fall off the cliff, and Wang Shan’s betrayal are all huge blows to the people of Daqi.

There is no war in the north now, but the Chu carriage cannot be transferred. Shu Xiao can be transferred, but it is too late...

Soldiers from other places cannot be moved.

Three days later, Chu Heyi entered the palace and stood in front of Xie Lin. She looked indifferent but determined: "I will personally lead the army to attack Dongfang Shuo and take back Yizhou City to avenge my father and the soldiers and civilians who died tragically in Yizhou."
