Chapter 98: The Hungry Cannon!
"Qiaobaru, I order you to open the city gates, or I will put you to military punishment."
Looking at the smug guard on the city wall, Xue An's face turned gloomy and he immediately shouted angrily.
"Your Highness, it's not that I won't open the city gates, it's really the king's order, I dare not disobey!"
"Even if you kill me, I will never disobey the order of my king."
His words were sincere and sounded innocent, but Xue'an, who was standing in front of the army, could see clearly the arrogant and playful look of General Qiao Baru on the city wall.
His eyes seemed to be spewing fire, and Xue An's chest was heaving with anger. He wished he could wave his hand immediately and order the army to attack Citizen City directly.
Unfortunately, he knew that he couldn't do so. If he really led his army to attack the city, how would the Kingdom of Barak feel? This would affect the entire body.
The issue on the border is still unsettled, we cannot afford any more chaos!
"Damn it, I should have killed Xue Ming earlier!"
There was a flash of coldness in Xue'an's eyes. He regretted very much that he had let Xue Ming go out of affection, which caused the Barak Kingdom and the Empire to be at odds with each other.
Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret in this world!
"Marshal, why don't we change the route?" a legion commander suggested.
"General Nie, if taking a detour will add two days to the journey, the cavalry will naturally have no problem, but the heavy infantry can't withstand such a great effort!" Nangong Qiu retorted.
"This..." Upon hearing this, General Nie was speechless.
Xue An frowned and expressed his attitude: "The front line is extremely urgent. We absolutely cannot waste time on the road."
Xue An gritted his teeth and said, "If it really doesn't work, we can only control Citizen first."
He originally didn't want to do so, but the situation on the border was unclear and he really couldn't afford to waste time. He just didn't believe that Xue Ming dared to do anything to him!
"Marshal, can..."
Nangong Qiu was about to remind Xue An when he was interrupted by Xue An.
His eyes were red. "If Xue Ming has any objections, I will go to Barak City to meet him in person after the battle!"
After hearing Xue An say this, Nangong Qiu and others could no longer persuade her and began to think about how to capture Citizen.
Although Citizen Castle had only 10,000 defenders, it was located between two mountains and, to be honest, was not easy to capture.
"I will attack from the sky later and take control of the people on the city wall. Once the city gate is opened, you will lead your troops to occupy the city immediately."
"No!"
As soon as Xue An finished speaking, fierce opposition voices rang out.
"Your Highness, you are the pillar of the empire and the commander of an army. How can you take such a risk?"
"General Nangong is right. Although we know that the Marshal is very powerful, there is no guarantee that something unexpected will happen. I will lead the troops to open the city gate."
"That's right, Marshal, let us go!"
"…"
"That's enough!"
Although he knew that the three men were thinking about him, Xue An still shouted coldly to stop them.
The thickness of Citizen Castle reaches 40 meters, and the city gate is forged from fine iron, so it seems that the thickness is also extremely large.
In addition, the city was heavily guarded and well prepared, and it would be difficult for the three Soul Emperors to open it, so they would have to go there themselves.
"Alas~ It's a pity that my attack is not strong enough, otherwise it wouldn't be a problem to break through the city directly. Why did it have to be like this?" Xue An sighed helplessly in his heart.
Although he belongs to the agile attack type of fighting spirit Douluo, due to the characteristics of the swan martial spirit itself, he cannot hunt evil birds of prey, so most royal family members tend to prefer the balanced flow.
Soul skills include control, speed, and assistance, so the powerful attack power is much lacking.
If it were any other beast soul soul douluo, he would use his powerful soul skills to attack continuously and directly break through the city.
Alas~
"Old man Xue, it looks like you are in trouble."
At this moment, a joking voice suddenly sounded, and Dugu Bo's figure appeared in front of him. He was seen with his hands behind his back, looking very dignified.
"How about it? Do you need me to take action?" Dugu Bo raised his eyebrows and said with some complacency.
Seeing Dugu Bo's boastful look, Xue An's face turned dark, but he was very clear in his heart.
If Dugu Bo was willing to take action, things would be much simpler.
There was no need to even attack the city wall. He only needed to use poison to knock down all the soldiers guarding the city and then revive them, and the problem would be solved perfectly.
"Are you willing to take action?" Xue An asked reluctantly.
"As long as you agree to one condition, I will open the city gate for you immediately. What do you think?" Dugu Bo said with a smile.
"One condition?"
Hearing this, Xue An was also stunned, feeling that something was wrong. A dignified Titled Douluo was negotiating terms with him?
And, it's Dugu Bo?
No matter how I look at it, something seems wrong here!
"Old Poison, are you itching for trouble?" Su Xian, who had just prepared everything and rushed over, glared at Dugu Bo.
This old man is really evil, trying to scheme against me in a roundabout way!
Bah! He is such a piece of shit!
"If you don't want to, forget it."
Seeing Su Xian coming, Dugu Bo disappeared in a flash, as if he wanted to make it impossible for Su Xian to find him so that he would not be ordered around.
"cut!"
Seeing Dugu Bo hiding away as if for refuge, Su Xian curled his lips in annoyance. He knew that these thugs were more like decoration and he would have to do it himself at the critical moment.
It was just right that he should take out the Italian cannon for a walk, otherwise it would almost rust if it was kept in the crotch of his pants!
"I'll blast open the city wall later, and the rest will be left to you." Su Xian said briefly.
"You?" Nangong Qiu looked at Su Xian in disbelief, and the words "your hair hasn't even grown out yet" almost came out of his mouth.
"Qinghe, do you have any ideas?" Xue'an asked, his eyes lighting up.
Before he left, Emperor Xue Ye secretly revealed that if there were any difficult problems, Su Xian could be asked to take action.
I think Xue Ye would not speak without a purpose, he obviously knows something.
"Of course, just watch. Give me three minutes."
Su Xian waved at a few people, his tone firm and he left directly.
He didn't want to expose the Italian cannon, a weapon that transcended the times, and cause trouble to his leisurely life, so he naturally fired the cannon secretly.
Although the feeling of pleasure was a little less, he could still accept it barely.
"This kid is actually still hiding it."
Watching Su Xian leave, Xue An shook his head, curiosity flashing in his eyes. He wondered how he would destroy the city wall.
On top of a mountain, Su Xian looked at the city not far away. He couldn't help but feel high-spirited. With a wave of his hand, he directly lifted the cloth covering the soul-guided rapid-fire cannon.
The three-meter-long black gun barrel was facing the wall of Citizen City. The gun barrel with a diameter of more than 60 centimeters was like the bloody mouth of a ferocious beast. The terrifying aura was terrifying.
