Taking Up Residence in the City

Entering the border city with the main force, Zhou Xu swept his gaze over the surrounding walls and could easily tell that the other side had already mastered brick firing and had even developed cement.

This would undoubtedly greatly improve the walls' sturdiness and stability. Without the Three-bow Ballista, it would have been absolutely impossible for them to breach the city relying solely on the small force at hand.
