Natural disaster at the beginning: I will lead the system to build a safe zone

"Report——"

The Northern King’s army is stationed in a temporary military camp ten miles away from Cangwu City.

The scout leader walked into the largest tent in the center and reported respectfully: "Your Majesty! It's less than ten miles to Cangwu City, the largest city in Lingnan. Please give your instructions on whether to attack immediately!"

The scout leader also felt that he had escaped a disaster at this moment. He had to find Cangwu City within ten days. God knew how much pressure he was under to complete the task assigned by the King of the North.

Fortunately, he was lucky.

The King of the Northern Territory looked at the sky, thought for a while and said, "Have you tried to scout the military strength of Cangwu City?"

The scout looked a little embarrassed: "King, I don't know what material the wall of Cangwu City is made of. Not only is it higher than other cities, but it is also very strong."

"And they don't know why the city gates were closed. We didn't even see a single garrison, nor did we hear any movement inside. Could it be that Cangwu City is already an empty city?"

Along the way, they had seen many cities destroyed in natural disasters. They all looked so quiet and eerie. The more the scout leader thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was correct.

The King of the North was furious after hearing this: "Fool! If it is really an empty city, why is the wall built so differently? I am afraid that our whereabouts have been seen clearly by the enemy!"

It has to be said that although the King of the North is brutal, his ability to capture so many cities along the way cannot be denied, and he still has basic military sensitivity.

Shi Anan had indeed discovered the whereabouts of the army ten miles away from Cangwu City and evacuated the people in advance.

That's why the scouts couldn't hear anything happening inside Cangwu City.

Not only that, Shi Anan also brought over a lot of gunpowder that he had developed in Guangming County, as well as three cannons.

These three cannons are the secret weapons they developed. Although there are few of them, it took a lot of effort to make them.

Because artillery is a highly lethal weapon, even a slight error in accuracy may reduce its power or cause other accidents. If Guangming County's iron and steelmaking technology had not achieved a qualitative development, she would not have been sure that she could manufacture the artillery.

Even so, compared to modern ones, this artillery is still almost as powerful as an ant, and is also very bulky, but it is enough to deal with the King of the North.

When hot weapons fight against cold weapons, it is easy to imagine which one is more powerful.

In addition, Shi Anan also has an elite shooting team. The members of the team are the elites among the elites selected from many security team members. Although there are only a hundred people, each of them is equipped with high-tech firearms that Shi Anan spent a huge amount of money to buy from the system.

It’s not that she doesn’t want to recruit more people, but the one hundred weapons for these one hundred people have almost used up all the currency she earned before, and she can’t squeeze out a penny more.

If she didn't have a stable income now, she wouldn't dare to empty her pockets like this. After all, she still has to save some money to buy food and some basic supplies.

But even if there are only a hundred people, even if just one of these people is released, the weapons in his hands will be enough to scare the enemy.

While Shi Anan and others were waiting for the King of the North to come and deliver their heads, the King of the North was still dreaming of his Spring and Autumn dream of unifying the world.

After scolding the scout leader, he finally gave the order.

"Give the order, tell everyone to be alert tonight, we will attack Cangwu City at night. If everything goes well, they can take whatever food and women in Cangwu City they want!"

"Yes!"

There was a bloodthirsty light in the eyes of the King of the North. It didn't matter if the scouts didn't find out the specific situation in the city. He believed that under the absolute force, no strategy would work.

Indeed, he has revealed the truth, but I don’t know who has this absolute force:)

***

At night, Cangwu City was shrouded in dim moonlight. The city was silent, with no trace of the hustle and bustle of the past.

At the city gate, well-equipped soldiers stood quietly, their weapons glowing coldly under the moonlight. Three cannons were guarded by heavy artillerymen, with plenty of shells beside them, waiting for just the order to make a sound that would shake the world.

On the towering city wall, Shi Anan, Xiao Yi, Mu Shan, Yan Fei and others have all arrived, looking into the distance that is swallowed by the darkness.

Everything is ready to go.

In the end, Yan Fei, who was the most outgoing, couldn't help himself and said, "Will the King of the North really choose to launch a surprise attack tonight? How come we haven't even seen his shadow yet?"

Mu Shan slapped him on the forehead and scolded: "Have some patience. If the lady said she would come tonight, she would definitely come. And whether they come or not, you have to keep a close eye on them, don't mess things up!"

Yan Fei rubbed his head and shouted in injustice: "Captain, I'm not in a hurry, I'm just asking!"

At this time, Xiao Yi interrupted the two of them with a faint voice: "Here I come."

"Ah?" Yan Fei was stunned, and his head turned around quickly: "Where is it? It's still pitch black?"

Xiao Yi: "A quarter of an hour."

After hearing this, Shi Anan smiled and added: "He practices martial arts, and his hearing is better than ours. I estimate that you will be able to hear something in a quarter of an hour. Cheer up, finish the fight early and rest early!"

Mu Shan and Yan Fei immediately stood up and answered, "Yes!"

Sure enough, after just a quarter of an hour, they heard the sound of a large army marching on the road. The King of the North brought a lot of people, as well as large siege weapons such as catapults. Before they saw anyone, they heard the roar of the ground being crushed.

Suddenly, a military flag stood out from the deep night, and gradually, they saw countless heads gathered under the city.

When they reached a place where they could see the gate of Cangwu City, the King of the Northern Territory waved his hand, and the troops stopped in an extremely orderly manner. The deputy general rode forward hurriedly and reported: "King, there are people on the city gate!"

A fierce look flashed across the eyes of the King of the Northern Territory: "I saw it."

The current distance was enough for him to see several people in Cangwu City by the moonlight. This was of course also the reason why An An and the others did not want to hide.

He just stood there carelessly, not knowing whether it was due to his courage or the fact that he was fearless. The King of the North snorted coldly with disdain.

Then he ordered, "Go, send someone to challenge them. I want to see where these people come from!"

The soldier in charge of challenging the Northern King's army stepped forward, raised his head and shouted to Shi An'an and others on the city wall: "The Northern King has arrived, why don't you surrender? Come down quickly to welcome the Northern King into the city!"

Shi Anan looked down at the man named Zhen Zhi and chuckled, "Who is this King of the North? A self-proclaimed king? I have never heard of such a king in the court."

The challenger shouted, "How dare you! How dare you disrespect the King of the North? Now the entire Apocalypse belongs to our King of the North. If you dare to resist, I will kill you on the spot!"

Shi Anan patted his chest and said, "Oh, I'm so scared. Let me see which Northern King is so majestic. Why is he hiding and not daring to stand out?"
