The first battle at the South Gate was successful, with more than a thousand enemy heads beheaded, and the morale of the army was greatly boosted.
When the war situation became urgent, although each gate did not send troops for reinforcements, everyone always paid attention to the fighting situation in the south gate.
If the south gate is breached, there will be no eggs in the nest.
"I didn't expect that Qin Yu really defended it." North Gate Centurion Wu Xu couldn't help but feel admiration in his heart.
Among the several centurions, Qin Yu was the youngest, even turning 20 after the New Year. It was truly a miracle that he could lead hundreds of men to block the attack of thousands of enemy troops at such a young age.
"I heard that there was a fire in the south gate armory. I thought this guy couldn't defend it this time, but I didn't expect that he still managed to defend it." Zhu Zhi, the centurion of Ximen, heard the news and was so shocked that he broke the sword in his hand.
The battle at the South Gate greatly boosted the morale of the troops and eliminated the fear in everyone's hearts.
While everyone was still excited, Qin Yu ordered people to deliver steamed buns to the soldiers of the other three sects.
Qin Yu also took this opportunity to send invitations to the three centurions.
Facing Qin Yu's invitation, the three centurions looked at the baskets of steamed buns, hesitated for a moment, and then went to the south gate.
Qin Yu had already prepared everything and was waiting for the arrival of the three of them.
"I didn't expect you to hide so many bows and arrows, enough to equip an army of tens of thousands."
When he first saw the piles of bows and arrows in the warehouse, Tie Mian's jaw almost dropped in shock.
"It's a pity that we don't have tens of thousands of troops, only more than a thousand people. We can't use them all. We can't use them all." Qin Yu stood at the door of the warehouse and shook his head very pretentiously.
"Where did you get so many bows and arrows? I was with Lin Yue before, so I have a clear idea of the military's ordnance situation."
"Don't pry, this is my secret." Qin Yu naturally couldn't tell Tie Mian that this was given by the system.
Seeing that Qin Yu was unwilling to say anything, Tie Mian didn't ask any more questions.
At this time, the men outside the door ran in and said, "Centurion! Centurion Wu, Centurion Zhu and Centurion Wu are here."
"Please come in."
"promise!"
Tie Mian glanced at the door, turned around and walked inside, disappearing behind the pile of bows and arrows.
The next moment, before anyone saw him and heard his voice, a rough laughter came in.
"Hahaha! Brother Qin Yu! It is true that a hero comes from a young age! Today's battle not only enhanced the military power of our Tang army, but also severely damaged the morale of the enemy army! Hahaha!"
I saw a burly man with a gloomy appearance walking in, followed by two thin old men about the same age as Lao Huang.
The two old men were Zhu Zhi, the centurion of the west gate, and Wu Xu, the centurion of the north gate. The strong man was Wu Gang, the centurion of the east gate.
"Qin Centurion is really great. Thanks to Qin Centurion for leading his troops to block the Qi army today, otherwise we would have been in trouble." Wu Xu looked at Qin Yu with gratitude in his eyes.
"Yes, we not only want to thank Centurion Qin for blocking the Qi army, but also thank Centurion Qin for sending us the steamed buns so that we can finally have a normal bite." Zhu Zhi said and bowed to Qin Yu.
Qin Yu quickly stretched out his hand to support Zhu Zhi, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Wu Gang let out an exclamation.
"Here! How come there are so many bows and arrows here!" Wu Gang's eyes widened and he looked at the mountains of bows and arrows piled up in the warehouse in shock.
Zhu Zhi and Wu Xu's expressions changed, and they hurriedly looked past Qin Yu. Their eyes suddenly widened, and their bodies even trembled slightly.
"This! This! So many! Enough to equip tens of thousands of troops!" Zhu Zhi was so shocked that he stammered.
"One hundred thousand troops is enough." Wu Xu rubbed his eyes, unable to believe what he saw.
Wu Gang looked at Qin Yu, frowned and asked, "Brother Qin Yu, where did you get all these bows and arrows? Can you still get in touch with the army?"
"This is impossible. Even if the Qin centurion got in touch with the army, he would not be able to send so many bows and arrows into the city when surrounded by the Qi army." Wu Xu denied Wu Gang's conjecture.
"No! Brother Qin Yu, I heard that there was a fire at your south gate last night, but your armory was burned down. How come you still have so many bows and arrows?"
A strange color flashed through Wu Gang's eyes again. Although Wu Gang hid it quickly, Qin Yu still noticed it.
Qin Yu laughed, "That's a coincidence. Because there were rats in the previous warehouse, these bows and arrows were moved here yesterday, so they survived the fire last night."
"Thanks to the fact that these bows and arrows are still there, otherwise everyone might have become prisoners of Qi State today."
"Hahaha!"
Hearing this, everyone laughed at the same time. It was the laughter of the survivors, but also the bitter smile of being isolated and helpless.
Qin Yu picked up a bow and said: "This time the south gate was defended with these bows and arrows, but there is no telling whether the Qi army will attack the other three gates next time, so I called everyone this time to divide these bows and arrows." .”
The three of them were startled and looked at Qin Yu with incredible eyes.
"Centurion Qin is willing to bear the pain and share these bows and arrows with us?" Zhu Zhi asked in disbelief.
"This is natural. Everyone in this city is like a grasshopper on a rope. No matter which gate is lost, it will be a disaster." Qin Yu handed the bow in Zhu Zhi's hand.
Wu Xu frowned, "Looking at this matter, it's best to ask the commander for advice. I haven't seen the commander in the past few days, and I don't know if he has any new arrangements."
"That's true. It's about the distribution of ordnance, and it still needs to be decided by the captain. I'm worried." Zhu Zhi said with a smile.
Wu Gang, who was standing aside, never spoke. He just looked at the warehouse full of bows and arrows quietly, seeming to be thinking about something.
Qin Yu glanced at Wu Gang and had no intention of telling the three of them that Lin Yue had run away now.
"In that case, I will send someone to ask the captain for instructions. Early tomorrow morning, the three brothers will bring people to my place to get bows and arrows."
"I think this is good, but will it be too late tomorrow morning? I'm afraid that the enemy will attack the city tomorrow morning. I think it's best to see it as soon as possible." Wu Xu expressed his worries. It was not that he was coveting these bows and arrows. .
Qin Yu nodded, "In this case, as soon as the captain has arrangements, I will send someone to inform the three brothers, and we will divide these bows and arrows tonight."
"Okay! It's settled then! There is Centurion Lao Qin on the other side of the Thousand Commanders." Zhu Zhi said with a smile.
After this matter was arranged, several people exchanged views on Qin Yu's experience in defending the city today, and then returned to the defense area.
Suddenly, Wu Xu left and came back.
"Brother Wu, is there anything else you can do?" Qin Yu asked.
Wu Xu did not beat around the bush and asked directly: "Centurion Qin, you have given so much food and grass to us, how much food and grass do you have for the three of us?"
Qin Yu thought it was something important, but it turned out to be this trivial matter.
"Brother Wu, don't worry. I still have food and grass. As long as I have something to eat, I won't forget you brothers."
Wu Xu frowned, not very satisfied with Qin Yu's answer, but they were at the same level after all, and there was nothing he could do if Qin Yu didn't tell him.
After all three people left, Tiemian walked out.
"Why are you hiding?" Qin Yu asked.
"Don't like trouble."
Tie Mian used to be Lin Yue's right-hand man. Several centurions would greet Tie Mian politely when they saw him, but Tie Mian would stay away from him every time and communicate with others at a distance.
