Under a majestic siege machinery,
Several Houjin people were sitting on the ground chatting in twos and threes.
"Do you think our general has already invaded Wucheng?"
"Idiot, you must not have listened carefully to yesterday's battle report!"
The older soldier knocked his subordinate on the head and then continued:
"Now our general has occupied the west gate of Wucheng. However, the resistance of those two-legged sheep of the Great Zhou Dynasty seems to be very tenacious this time. Therefore, the general did not occupy the entire Wucheng immediately."
"But... it's just a matter of time before the general captures Wucheng. I heard that two more generals were sent over from Guyuguan."
"If you calculate it this way, there are at least 100,000 people. Attacking the capital city of the Great Zhou Dynasty is not a problem. A mere military city is nothing."
Upon hearing this, the young Houjin soldier's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Boss, if I follow what you say, aren't our good days coming soon?"
"I heard that women from Dazhou with fair skin can squeeze water out of their hands, and the sound they make when they do it is very nice."
"You kid, do you think about this all day long?"
The older soldier glared at him angrily, and then a look of recollection appeared on his face.
"But this Dazhou woman does have a special flavor. I remember when I and my brothers massacred a whole Dazhou village. All the men were killed by me. As for the female relatives, tsk tsk..."
"You are still young now, but this time..."
Before he finished speaking, a dark shadow suddenly flashed in the peripheral vision of the older soldier.
His heart skipped a beat. His years of experience on the battlefield made him instinctively feel threatened.
He almost immediately chose to avoid it. Conveniently, he also pulled the young subordinate next to him in front of him.
The young subordinate was listening enthusiastically, but he never expected that his leader would use him as a backing up.
A second ago, his mind was still fantasizing about Da Zhou's woman.
But the next second, he was shot to the core by a feather arrow.
He looked at his leader in surprise, the light in his eyes dissipating little by little.
"Boss, why?"
"No matter why, on the battlefield, only staying alive is the most important thing."
The older soldier said something indifferently, not knowing whether he was explaining to the life that had just passed away or talking to himself.
"Enemy attack!!!"
"Everyone, gather!!"
However, the older soldiers still underestimated the bravery of the Doulu clan warriors.
The bloodline of the Hu people's royal family is naturally not weak in combat effectiveness. Coupled with mental arithmetic but no intention, and the advantage of numbers.
There is basically no suspense in this battle.
With just a cup of tea, the Hou Jin army that was pretending to attack was dead and fled, leaving only the siege equipment on the ground.
Looking at these siege equipment, Commander Ma couldn't help but secretly speechless.
This general of Hou Jin is really a big deal!
It's really hard to prevent someone from hiding something like this.
The Empress Gold Thief should not be underestimated!
At this time, Commander Sun happened to pull out his saber from the chest of a Houjin soldier.
He wiped the blood on the blade with his cuff, and there was neither the excitement of revenge, nor the joy of achievement on his cheeks.
Some, just numbness on the cheeks.
Although he has experienced hundreds of battles, although he has experienced countless life and death.
But this time, he still felt extremely painful.
Why did these people of the Later Jin Dynasty insist on invading the Zhou Dynasty?
Why can't two countries live in peace?
Commander Sun couldn't figure it out, and he might never be able to figure it out in his life.
However, this does not prevent him from being tired of war.
"I'll leave these people to you. Go back early. The City Lord is still waiting for you."
Commander Ma said and patted Commander Sun on the shoulder again.
He knew that what his old buddy needed most right now was to be alone for a while.
Thinking of this, he took out a small wine bag from his arms.
Although it hurt a little, he still handed over the wine bag.
"Old Sun, when you go back, remember to fill the wine bag and return it to me!"
…
Wucheng,
on the city wall,
Wu Jing looked far into the distance, then frowned slightly.
Obviously, she had discovered the changes in Hou Jin's siege equipment. The siege equipment that was originally neat and uniform now turned into a mess.
During the march, the most taboo thing is to disrupt the formation.
Could it be possible that...there were changes in the Jin army?
Wu Jing frowned and was secretly thinking about the possibility. Suddenly she saw a blaze of fire rising into the sky!
At first it was just a small orange-red dot.
But in the blink of an eye, the orange dot grew rapidly, attached to the siege equipment, and became more and more powerful.
"Why is it on fire?"
Wu Jing frowned, and she suddenly realized that something was wrong.
As for the siege equipment, she had just dispatched the scout battalion three hours ago.
But now that the scout battalion hasn't returned yet, Hou Jin's siege equipment caught fire first!
etc!
A light suddenly flashed in Wu Jing's eyes.
The next moment, she thought everything clearly!
Oops, I fell into General Houjin’s scheme!
What kind of main force and these siege equipment are clearly here to attract your attention!
Wu Jing, Wu Jing, you should have thought of it earlier!
If you had thought of it earlier, how could the defenders have suffered so many casualties?
At this moment, Wu Jing was filled with self-blame.
But as the city lord and the commander-in-chief, this was not the time to blame herself.
She suddenly raised the spear in her hand and shouted angrily:
"Everyone listened to the order and immediately surrounded the west city gate and annihilated all those Houjin thieves!"
"yes!"
On the city wall, the shouts of killing shook the sky.
Most of these soldiers did not know Wu Jing's plan.
In their hearts, they only recognize one thing. That is to follow the orders of the Wu family, and there is nothing wrong with that.
And this is the reputation that the Wu family has accumulated over the years.
Wu Jing looked at the soldiers who had no hesitation, with tears glistening in her eyes.
She knew that she was not a qualified general.
But as a descendant of the Wu family, she had no choice...
At this moment, the figure of the old housekeeper suddenly came in a hurry and landed on the city wall.
"City Lord, I have a plan that can greatly reduce the casualties of our army."
"Is this true!?"
Wu Jing raised her eyebrows, and her whole body suddenly became energetic.
"Don't worry, City Lord, I never tell lies."
As the old housekeeper spoke, he took out a big firecracker from his sleeve and handed it over.
"City Lord, please see, this thing was made by Mr. Yang. It was brought here by those Xichang spies."
Wu Jing took the cannon and looked at it carefully, the doubts in her eyes getting deeper.
"Old housekeeper, what is the use of this thing?"
"For the record, City Lord, this thing only needs to light one end with the cotton thread, and it can explode with a full blow equivalent to that of a high-level martial artist!"
