I started as an exile, and I relied on space to support my family of loyal heroes.

Seeing the expressions of the Xiao family, Lin Yiran paused and twitched her lips.

"The God King gave me a hint..."

As Lin Yiran said this, she immediately placed an order for a large roll of 500-meter-long and 80-centimeter-wide elastic rope from the takeaway mall.

"Look, isn't that the extra-thick elastic rope given by the God King..."

Everyone looked in the direction of Lin Yiran's finger, and sure enough, they saw a huge roll of black elastic rope.

Xiao Yunyou glanced at Lin Yiran, his eyes flickered slightly.

"Not bad, not bad. This one is thick enough."

"Use this elastic rope to modify the trebuchet into a large slingshot like this, so that you can throw the stone farther."

Xiao Yunhao's eyes lit up, "Second brother, what you said makes sense..."

They acted immediately and everyone in the Xiao family took action separately.

Lin Yiran, Old Madam Xiao, and her sisters-in-law were responsible for leading the soldiers to move stones from the nearby mountain.

Two soldiers were struggling to lift a stone, while Lin Yiran and the women of the Xiao family easily held a large stone in each arm and walked very quickly.

The soldiers were so envious of this scene that they dared not say they were tired. They all gritted their teeth, carried the stones, and walked towards the catapult.

General Xiao and Xiao Yunyou brought their soldiers and transported the catapult to a place 400 meters away from the gate of Shiquan City and transformed it into a large slingshot.

Xiao Yunzhan and Xiao Yunhao led two teams of troops and encircled Shiquan City from both sides. They built four pillars that were taller than the city wall 300 meters away from the city wall.

The maximum range of a crossbow is 400 meters, so building pillars at 300 meters is just the right distance.

Each pillar can hold 20 crossbowmen.

Dong Wenfeng naturally also saw the actions of the Heavenly God Army.

Looking at the rebels carrying stones and preparing to use catapults in the distance, he gritted his teeth in anger.

"Ah!"

"Do you really think you can defeat me with long-range attacks?"

Dong Wenfeng narrowed his eyes slightly and issued a series of orders to his men.

"Go inform Prefect Tong to bring all the city's shields up to the city walls."

"Also, ask Magistrate Tong to bring over a few more large pots and fifty barrels of oil."

After a pause, Dong Wenfeng thought that the rebels were made up of refugees, and knew that the Xiao family would definitely not attack the civilians. He curled his lips and sneered, and gave another order to his men,

"Let Prefect Tong bring two hundred people here, go quickly!"

After watching his men hurriedly leave the city wall, Dong Wenfeng took the bow and arrow from the soldier next to him.

He drew his bow and aimed in the direction of the sling.

With a "biu" sound, an arrow flew towards the catapult.

But unfortunately, even though he tried his best, the arrow only flew less than 200 meters before falling.

The arrow he shot did not even attract the attention of the people next to the slingshot.

"Bring the crossbow!"

Dong Wenfeng frowned and said in a deep voice.

The crossbow has a longer range than the bow and arrow. If he can't hit the person next to the catapult, these soldiers will not be able to hit him either.

There was another "biu" sound, and a crossbow arrow shot out quickly.

The crossbow in Shiquan City was still the old model from ten years ago. Although Dong Wenfeng tried his best, he still failed to shoot the person next to the catapult.

"Clang~"

Dong Wenfeng was so angry that he threw the crossbow in his hand to the ground and cursed,

"Fuck him, what does Tong Zhifu do for a living? What's the use of such a crappy crossbow?"

The latest crossbow used by the imperial guards in the capital has a range of 500 meters.

If he had the latest crossbow, he would definitely be able to shoot to death everyone near the catapult.

It's not like now, the two arrows were shot dozens of meters away from the opponent, but did not attract the opponent's attention.

The soldier who handed the crossbow to Dong Wenfeng stood aside with his head down, not daring to say a word.

When has Shiquan City ever fought a war? How come there are crossbows and other things there?

At this time, Wei Gao, who was sent out first by Dong Wenfeng, came back hurriedly with a food box.

"Report, I didn't find Magistrate Tong. Neither the secretary nor Magistrate Tong is in the magistrate's office..."

Wei Gao knelt on one knee in front of Dong Wenfeng, breathing heavily.

He was so tired from running that he couldn't find anyone after searching for a while. What would the soldiers eat for lunch?

Dong Wenfeng frowned and started cursing.

"The dog official is not staying at the prefectural government office. Could it be that he abandoned the city and fled?"

"Damn, useless trash..."

Dong Wenfeng became extremely angry when he thought of Magistrate Tong running away.

He resisted the urge to kill and ordered Wei Gao in a cold voice,

"Take two people and seal the gate leading to Wuyi City. Do not allow anyone to leave."

"I'm fighting here. If they dare to escape, I'll kill them."

"Also, chase him in the direction of Wuyi City to see if the dog official has escaped. If he has, catch him and kill him immediately!"

"......"

Dong Wenfeng's furious shouting attracted the attention of the soldiers on the city wall.

Magistrate Tong and the legal advisor, who were hiding in the corner, naturally heard it as well.

The two looked at each other, their eyes full of fear.

Their family had just fled out of the city in the morning. If they were caught up by Dong Wenfeng's men, they would have no chance of survival.
