All the soldiers guarding the city felt that the sudden appearance of the boulder was God's help to Qinghe County.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain this supernatural phenomenon.

Since Qinghe County is favored by God, it will surely be able to be defended.

Master Zhang stood on the city wall, encouraging the soldiers: "Since Heaven is on our side, we just need to work hard and leave the rest to Heaven."

The enemy has already erected ladders on the outer city wall and is climbing them.

The situation was critical, and Su Qianqian said to the people on the city wall, "If you can repel the enemy, I will reward each of you with one tael of silver."

The world is bustling and noisy, all for a few pieces of silver.

Money is the courage for the poor to survive.

The officers and soldiers were overjoyed. They used to earn only two taels of silver a month, but now they could earn that much in a very short time. They had really struck it rich.

The villagers who came to help were also very happy.

Even in the best years of Qinghe County, one could not save a single tael of silver in a year. But now, as long as one defends the city, one can earn money. Following Miss Su is truly promising.

The soldiers' morale soared, and they raised their swords to slash at the enemy soldiers who had climbed the city wall, determined not to let a single enemy soldier reach the top.

The villagers held wooden shields in their left hands to block the rain of arrows, and raised wooden sticks in their right hands to stab at the enemy soldiers climbing the city wall.

The sharpened wooden stick was soon stained with blood.

Su Qianqian was very busy, collecting the cloud ladders one by one into her spatial storage along the outer perimeter of the city wall.

Before the enemies who were climbing in mid-air could react, they lost their footing and fell to the ground. Some broke their legs, and some hit their heads.

This is unbelievable! How could the ladder have suddenly disappeared? Could it be that Qinghe County is truly protected by the heavens?

Master Zhang discovered that every enemy siege ladder disappeared on the spot after Miss Su approached.

The sudden appearance of the boulder earlier also happened the instant Miss Su leaned out of the city wall.

So the "God" the officers and soldiers were talking about was actually Miss Su! That's amazing.

Could it be that Miss Su possesses magical powers? Or perhaps Miss Su is truly sent down to earth by the heavens to save the suffering masses?

Wang Shou stood outside the firing range, repeatedly ordering, "Keep adding ladders for me. Don't be afraid, there are no ghosts or gods in this world."

Soon, the soldiers warned, "General Wang, we've used up all the siege ladders, and the men on the city wall have started firing arrows. Quickly retreat further away."

Wang Shou retreated several meters, his heart filled with anxiety as he looked at the corpses scattered on the ground.

They intended to follow the orders of the King of Huainan to tear the girl surnamed Su apart with five horses, but after a miserable afternoon of fighting, they not only failed to enter the city, but also suffered countless casualties.

They clearly had 10,000 men, yet they couldn't even take down such a small town.

General Mu watched as ladders disappeared before his eyes, feeling as if he had seen a ghost. Qinghe County was too eerie, and that little girl was also very strange!

General Mu's confidence had been completely shattered. "Strategist, perhaps we should turn back?"

Li Xuanji countered, "General Mu, do you think you can still save your life if you return to Huainan?"

General Mu's face turned ashen. He had thought he was coming to Qinghe County to gain merit for nothing, but who knew that this small county would be so troublesome.

There's no going back. The King of Huainan hasn't encountered a single setback since he started his rebellion. If he were to become the first general to suffer a defeat, he certainly wouldn't have a good ending.

General Mu looked bewildered: "Strategist, our men have suffered heavy casualties, what do we do now?"

The soldiers on the city wall were firing arrows incessantly.

An arrow shot from a low point to a high point has little killing power, but an arrow shot from a high point to a low point has both increased killing power and range.

Therefore, the defending side is in an advantageous position.

Many of the soldiers on the King of Huainan's side were wounded by arrows.

Li Xuanji knew that if the fighting continued, the entire army would be wiped out, so he could only issue the order: "Pass on my order, the army shall retreat five miles away and set up camp."

Wang Shou stood beside a small tree, gazing unwillingly at the high city wall.

He was out of range and was not in danger.

The soldiers on the city wall witnessed Mo Xiaobei handing the Five Stone Bow to Su Qianqian.

The officers and soldiers stared in astonishment.

The tension of the five-stone bow is as high as three hundred kilograms, and its range is much greater than that of ordinary bows and arrows.

Even these strong men couldn't pull the five-stone bow, but the little girl held it in her hand as if it were a toy, without any effort.

That's a five-stone bow! That's simply incredible.

In the past, only the God of War, General Xin, could draw the five-stone bow in the Great Qi Dynasty. Unfortunately, General Xin passed away last year.

The officers and soldiers witnessed Su Qianqian raise the five-stone bow and easily nock and shoot an arrow.

With a "whoosh," the arrow flew out.

The first arrow knocked off the iron helmet on the king beast's head.

Before the beast could react, a second arrow flew past, striking it squarely in the head and ending its life.

A genius of beast taming has fallen.

Previously, some officers and soldiers on the city wall were unruly and unwilling to obey the command of a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl.

Seeing how skilled the little girl is at archery, I am filled with admiration and completely won her over.

There is no one else in the world who can wield a five-stone bow.

It turns out this little girl is just as formidable as General Xin, the God of War.

Just now, several officers and soldiers regretfully said that they couldn't kill several enemy generals because the enemy's armor was too good and they were standing outside firing range.

But that girl is so clever! You think your armor is tough? Then I'll shoot off your helmet, and then finish you off with an arrow to your unprotected head, sending you perfectly to meet the King of Hell.

That little girl is really something!

Mo Xiaobei looked at the awe on the soldiers' faces and felt very smug. "Look at you, so unsophisticated. You deserve to be scared."

Miss Su is capable of much more than this; she has many other amazing abilities that will surprise you in the future.

General Mu turned around and glanced at the miserable state of the King Beast. The King Beast was standing in the same spot where General Mu had been standing earlier.

so close!

General Mu felt a chill on his head.

He was the one who almost died.

What kind of bow is that little girl using? It has such power!

It must be a bow with at least five stones to have such power, right? But if a little girl could really wield a bow with five stones, wouldn't she be deified?

General Mu felt a wave of fear wash over him and urged his soldiers, "Quickly, retreat to a place five miles away and set up camp."

The soldiers on the city wall were extremely excited to see the enemy troops retreat.

Qinghe County was the first city to repel the army of the King of Huainan, and they deserve credit for that. They can brag about it for a lifetime.

The civilians who participated in the war were very happy; they had obtained many spoils of war.

The wooden basin-shaped hat was stuck with many arrows, and the wooden shield also had arrows on it.

The enemy used iron arrowheads, which were more lethal than their own arrows.

Su Qianqian called out, "That's enough for today. Everyone who fought on the city wall today will be rewarded with one tael of silver. You can go down and collect your reward now."

Inside the city gate, two large boxes of silver were laid out on the ground, with Su Qianqian's father, Su Bing, in charge of distributing the reward silver.

Many civilians who were unable to participate in the war watched as those who did receive a tael or two of silver, and they were filled with envy.

They were eager to follow Su Qianqian to fight the enemy again, even though it was dangerous, because the money was really generous.

"Miss Su, I can do it too. Please allow me to fight next time."

"Miss Su, I have a great talent for martial arts, please let me join you."

Su Qianqian: "Okay, anyone with ambition can sign up to join the army."

She had her father personally select people, choosing those who were strong, healthy, and fearless.

Su Qianqian handed the bow and arrow in her hand to Mo Xiaobei, and then Mo Xiaobei, holding the bow and arrow, was surrounded by a group of soldiers.

The officers and soldiers all wanted to touch the Five Stone Bow and share in Miss Su's good fortune.

Xiangming reported to Su Qianqian: "Miss, in this battle, our army suffered four serious injuries and fifty-three minor injuries, with no one dying."

Su Qianqian felt that the number of seriously injured was acceptable. Fortunately, the Great Qi Dynasty did not have guns and cannons, otherwise it would have been very tragic.

"Xiangming, come with me to visit the seriously wounded soldier."

Less than 100 meters from the East Gate, a large temporary tent was set up, and the injured were carried into the tent for treatment.

When Dr. Chen saw Su Qianqian arrive, he stepped forward and reported, "If the four seriously wounded soldiers can wake up tonight, they should be fine."

Dr. Chen was sent by Gong Yu two days ago; he is said to have ten years of experience as a military doctor.
