Lu Xiuyuan was going to the battlefield, and Xia Younan originally planned to let him take Zhu Li, Xiong Fei and other brothers from Shihu Mountain with him.

But Lu Xiuyuan said they still had to protect Xia Younan and refused to take him with them. Xia Younan could not persuade him and had to give up.

In the next few days, the couple didn't even have time to spend time together before leaving. Lu Xiuyuan was so busy that he got up at dawn and returned home at dusk.

Either he went to the palace to discuss going to the border with Lu Shian, or he went to the military camp to select soldiers and generals.

Xia Younan was also restless and racked his brains to think of something he could do to help Lu Xiuyuan.

She first worked with her fellow apprentices to combine the knowledge they had learned in modern times, and hand-copied a copy of "The Art of War" and "Thirty-Six Strategies", and then drew the design drawings of weapons used in ancient Chinese wars.

There is a "ram", which is a siege tower with eight wheels and five floors. The bottom floor is for soldiers to push the ram forward, and the other four floors are for soldiers to fight in the siege. The ram is about 12 meters high, 6 meters wide and 8 meters long.

A battering ram can use its height to shoot directly into the city from the vehicle, or it can be used to approach the city wall, destroy the parapet (battlement wall), and directly attack the enemy defending the wall.

Ladder: It is made of wood as a bed with six wheels underneath. The ladder body is fixed on the chassis at a certain angle, and a movable "auxiliary ladder" is added outside the main ladder.

There is a pair of windlasses on the top, so when climbing the city wall, the ladder can move freely up and down along the city wall without the need for people to lift it on their shoulders.

When attacking a city, the army only needs to park the main ladder under the city, and then set up a secondary ladder on the main ladder, so that they can "climb up the city wall", thus reducing the danger and difficulty of setting up ladders in front of the enemy.

Catapult: A large human-powered long-range weapon that uses the principle of leverage to launch stone projectiles.

A huge lever with stones loaded in a leather sheath or wooden basket on the long end and dozens of ropes tied to the short end.

When the order is given, dozens of people pull the ropes at the same time and use the principle of leverage to throw out the stones, smashing the enemy to the point where they have nowhere to escape and causing them to be completely defeated.

In addition to these, there are also nest cars, wooden curtains, trench bridges, heavy crossbows and other weapons.

They contain the crystallization of China's 5,000 years of wisdom. They can be used for attack or defense. Each one is extremely powerful and unstoppable. They are all things that do not exist in this time and space.

Fortunately, several senior brothers were well versed in history in modern times. A group of people spent three days and three nights to restore these Chinese treasures to the greatest extent possible.

When Xia Younan handed the results to Lu Xiuyuan, Lu Xiuyuan was overjoyed. He excitedly hugged her and spun around several times, expressing his gratitude and praise.

Afterwards, he felt as if he had found a treasure. He gave the weapon designs to skilled craftsmen and asked them to work overtime to make them. Then he himself stayed up all night, reading "The Art of War" and "Thirty-Six Strategies" so eagerly that he forgot to eat and sleep.

The day of departure finally arrived, and Lu Xiuyuan and his young wife bid farewell to each other all night long.

It was not until the people outside urged him again and again that Xia Younan put on the Golden Scale Armor for Lu Xiuyuan and went out with him.

The news that Prince Yu Nan was going to the war in person had already spread throughout the streets and alleys. Lu Xiuyuan was already quite prestigious in the eyes of the people, and when they heard that he was going to the war, the people of the whole city were excited.

They came from all directions before daybreak and surrounded the Prince of Yu Nan's Palace, specially to see off this prince who was both talented and virtuous and loved his people like his own children.

Lu Xiuyuan's battle suit was specially made overnight by skilled craftsmen at the request of Lu Shi'an. On his head was a steel lion helmet that was as hard as iron and invulnerable to swords and spears.

He was wearing a suit of armor made of iron leaves, with two bronze breastplates on the front and back, which protected the most vulnerable parts of his body without any blind spots.

Lu Xiuyuan was already famous for his handsomeness, and now this cool set of golden scale armor made him look even broader in shoulders and narrow in waist, tall and mighty, with an awe-inspiring and noble aura.

As soon as he stepped out of the palace, he immediately caused a commotion among the onlookers. The people were like a pot of boiling water, screaming, shouting, and worshipping.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, please take care of yourself!"

"Long live the prince!"

"Your Majesty, we are waiting for your triumphant return!"

Lu Xiuyuan thanked the people and turned to look at Su Yu who was also wearing armor. He felt a little reluctant and said, "Do you really want to go? The Su family... only has you as a descendant."

Su Yu clasped his fists, his resolute face brooking no refusal, "It is the duty of every citizen to defend our country, even if we die on the battlefield, it is a worthy death."

Lu Xiuyuan looked at him and asked, "Where's Lu Yanluo?"

Su Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he frowned and lamented, "She cried all night last night, and she was so tired that she fell asleep this morning. I didn't wake her up."

Lu Xiuyuan didn't say anything else. He held Xia Younan's hand and looked at Chanmu and others worriedly, "Younan, I'll leave her to you brothers. Please take good care of her."

"Yes, take care." The monks nodded in agreement.

"Come back alive, she can't live without you." Zenmu reminded him sadly. He was so worried that if something happened to him, how would his little sister survive.

"Brother-in-law, you take good care of yourself, and I will take good care of my senior sister." Xiao Chanen held Xia Younan's arm affectionately and assured Lu Xiuyuan seriously.

"Your Highness, you can go without worrying about our boss. With our brothers from Lion and Tiger Mountain here, we will never let the boss suffer any grievances." Zhu Li and Xiong Fei patted their chests loudly.

Lu Xiuyuan was extremely pleased when he saw them. He bowed to each of them and thanked them. Then he took Xia Younan's hand and walked towards the city gate.

"Your Highness, take care!" The people rushed forward and followed behind him for ten miles to see him off.

Outside the city gate, there was a huge army of soldiers and generals that was so numerous that you could not see the beginning or the end.

Armored knights, spearmen, sword and shield men, and crossbowmen were arranged in teams. Their armor was bright, their swords and spears were shining, and they stood straight, looking heroic and full of confidence.

The manufactured catapults, ladders and other weapons were neatly placed in a square formation, which looked magnificent and murderous.

Looking ahead, the soldiers and horses seemed to be connected to the horizon, with no end in sight. Even the wind seemed to be solemn in this battle.

At the front of the soldiers were all the civil and military officials in the court. Officials of all ranks gathered here, lined up in formation as if they were attending court, waiting for Lu Xiuyuan to appear.

Naturally, Lu Shian also had to make an appearance. He was seen standing in plain clothes with his hands behind his back, standing at the front of the soldiers and officials. His face was solemn and his brows were slightly furrowed, as if he was thinking about something important.

After a long time, Lu Xiuyuan finally walked over majestically, surrounded by the people.

All the officials and soldiers were busy paying homage and paying respects: "Long live the prince."

Lu Xiuyuan asked everyone to stand up, then bowed to Lu Shian and apologized, "I am late, I hope the emperor will forgive me."

Lu Shian did not answer him, but took a serious look at his outfit and said with a smile: "This armor fits me well."

Lu Xiuyuan smiled faintly and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for giving me the armor. I will live up to your expectations and conquer Zhujing Kingdom and return triumphantly."

"Well said!" Lu Shian patted his shoulder, turned around and looked at the dark crowd of people and said, "They are all here."
