Chapter 131 Crisis Ends
Then, during the debugging of the launch device, a problem of insufficient accuracy arose.
Jia Xiaoyan and the craftsmen worked tirelessly, carefully inspecting every part and redesigning the aiming system.
After countless trials and improvements, the launching device finally achieved the ideal accuracy.
As Jiang Liushen watched the improved versions of the Divine Machine Cannon gradually take shape in the workshop, his worries dissipated, replaced by a sense of relief and anticipation.
Looking at these weapons, he thought to himself, "Miss Jia has indeed lived up to expectations, leading everyone to overcome numerous difficulties. With these cannons, our Xijing Kingdom will surely gain the upper hand on the battlefield and protect the people of this region."
After that, he often visited the workshop. Seeing Jia Xiaoyan's busy figure and focused expression, his trust in her became even stronger. Under Jia Xiaoyan's leadership, the manufacturing of the improved version of the Divine Cannon was finally completed.
Jia Xiaoyan stood at the edge of the training ground, watching the soldiers skillfully operate the cannons, and felt a sense of satisfaction.
She knew that the war that would determine the fate of the Western Jing Kingdom was drawing ever closer, and she had made thorough preparations.
As expected, not long after, the United States and Japan arrived aggressively on the border.
A vast army of soldiers loomed over the border of Xijing Kingdom like a dark cloud, raising dust and shouting battle cries.
"Report—the enemy has reached the border, and the vanguard is less than fifty li from the city gate!" The messenger rushed into the tent, panting, and knelt on one knee to report to Jiang Liushen, Jia Xiaoyan, and the generals.
"They've finally arrived." Jia Xiaoyan's expression was cold, but her eyes shone with fearlessness. "Pass down the order: all units, proceed to your battle positions according to plan, and be on high alert!"
As orders were relayed, the soldiers of Xijing Kingdom sprang into action.
The improved version of the Divine Cannon was pushed atop the city wall, its dark muzzle pointed towards the direction of the incoming enemy. The soldiers, tense yet full of fighting spirit, gripped their weapons tightly, awaiting the battle horn to sound.
The United States and Japan launched the first attack, with wave after wave of cavalry surging in, attempting to break through the defenses of Xijing Kingdom.
However, as soon as they entered firing range, Jia Xiaoyan decisively ordered: "Fire!"
With a deafening roar, the improved version of the Divine Machine Cannon roared, and the shells streaked across the sky like meteors, landing precisely in the enemy ranks.
The massive explosion instantly kicked up a cloud of dust and flames, and enemy cavalrymen fell one after another, their men and horses overturned, and their formation was thrown into chaos.
"What powerful cannons!" The soldiers of Xijing Kingdom cheered loudly upon seeing this.
Upon seeing this, the enemy commander's face darkened. He immediately adjusted his tactics, sending infantrymen armed with shields to form a square formation and slowly approach.
They attempted to use shields to block cannon fire and then launch an attack on the city walls.
Seeing this, Jia Xiaoyan sneered: "Do you think you can stop them like this? Adjust your firing angle and shoot at their flanks!"
The cannons roared again, shells whistling as they flew toward the enemy's flank, tearing enemy infantry to shreds. A gaping hole was instantly ripped open in the enemy formation, and soldiers scattered in terror.
However, the United States and Japan were powerful enough that they did not back down and continued to launch attacks.
The battle reached a fever pitch, with both sides exchanging blows and suffering casualties.
Throughout the fierce battle, Jia Xiaoyan remained calm and composed, moving between different positions and directing her soldiers in combat.
She keenly observed the enemy's every move and adjusted her tactics in time, making every enemy attack futile.
Just as the battle reached a stalemate, Jia Xiaoyan suddenly noticed unusual activity in the enemy's rear.
It turned out that the enemy intended to send an elite force to outflank the Xijing Kingdom's army and launch a surprise attack.
"Not good! We can't let them succeed!" Jia Xiaoyan immediately dispatched a cavalry unit to intercept them. At the same time, she ordered the Shenji cannons to concentrate their firepower and launch a fierce attack on the enemy's front, thus tying down the enemy's main force.
Under Jia Xiaoyan's command, the cavalry of Xijing Kingdom charged towards the enemy's rear like lightning, engaging in fierce fighting. At the same time, cannonballs from the Shenji Cannon rained down on the enemy ranks, leaving them disoriented.
After a fierce battle, the cavalry of Xijing Kingdom successfully repelled the enemy's raiding force, while the enemy's frontal attack also suffered heavy losses under the bombardment of the Shenji Cannon, forcing them to temporarily retreat.
In this battle, the Xijing Kingdom achieved a glorious victory thanks to its improved version of the Divine Machine Cannon and Jia Xiaoyan's outstanding command. The soldiers cheered and celebrated this hard-won victory.
After the war, the entire Xijing Kingdom celebrated. King Jiang Liushen solemnly rewarded Jia Xiaoyan in court: "Miss Jia, if it weren't for you, Xijing Kingdom would likely have been unable to withstand the enemy's attack."
You not only brought us the improved version of the Divine Cannon, but also led us to victory with your exceptional wisdom and courage. You are a great hero of our Xijing Kingdom!
Jia Xiaoyan knelt down to express her gratitude: "Your Majesty is too kind. This is all thanks to Your Majesty's wise leadership and the valiant fighting of all the soldiers of Xijing Kingdom. Xiaoyan was just doing what she should do."
The ministers also began to look at Jia Xiaoyan with new respect, and those who had previously questioned her now lowered their heads in shame.
After this war, the prestige of Xijing Kingdom increased greatly, and neighboring countries came to make friends with it.
After resolving the crisis, Gu Liuli and Bai Jing bid farewell to Jiang Liushen: "Your Majesty, the crisis has been resolved, Japan and America have submitted, and we should return to Nanzhao!"
what?
Upon hearing that Jia Xiaoyan was leaving, Jiang Liushen felt a pang of pain in his heart; "Are you leaving now?"
Respectful yet sincere, she said, "Your Majesty's kindness is deeply appreciated by Xiaoyan. However, there are many matters in Nanzhao that require our return, and Xijing is now safe and sound, so we should return to our proper places. Besides, Liuli has already given birth, and I, as her aunt, haven't even seen her child yet. Please, Your Majesty, allow us to return."
Jia Xiaoyan bowed slightly, her expression respectful yet sincere: "Your Majesty's kindness is deeply appreciated. However, there are many matters in Nanzhao that require our return, and besides, Xijing is now safe and sound, so we should return to our proper places."
Bai Jing also cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, if the Western Jing Kingdom ever needs us in the future, we will certainly do our duty without hesitation. But at this moment, we are eager to return home, and we hope Your Majesty will grant our request."
Jiang Liushen remained silent for a moment, then sighed deeply: "Since that's the case, I won't force you to stay. However, the journey is long, so please take care of yourselves." With that, he ordered his men to bring out precious jewels and brocades as gifts of thanks to Jia Xiaoyan and Bai Jing, and also to bring gifts for his own sister. He then dispatched a team of elite guards to escort them back to the Nanzhao Kingdom.
