After walking out of Jiang Wu's tent, Tian He's face suddenly turned gloomy.

"Hmph! A small Tunliu city actually blocked you. What a big joke!"

"Somebody come!"

"Lord Governor!" Tian He's men ran away quickly.

"Beat the drums and gather the generals! Attack the city!" Tian He waved his hand and decided to abandon Jiang Wu and command the army to attack the city himself.

"Boom boom boom..."

The sound of war drums resounded throughout the Qi army camp and even reached the distant Tunliu City.

Qin Yu happened to be returning from the city. After hearing the sound of war drums outside, he hurried up to the city.

It was vaguely visible that the Qi army was gathering in the Qi army camp.

"Captain, the enemy seems to be attacking the city!" Old Huang ran up in a hurry, his hands still stained with blood.

Seeing Qin Yu looking at the blood stains on his body, he hurriedly explained: "Those two guys were dishonest, so they used some tricks."

Qin Yu didn't ask any questions and looked outside the city. The Qi army had already left the camp and formed an orderly formation outside the city.

But it was strange that only about half of the Qi army came out of the Qi army camp, and the rest of the Qi army dispersed inside the camp.

"Captain, something seems a little abnormal. Why did the Qi army only come out with about 2,000 troops when they attacked the city this time?"

Lao Huang quickly counted the approximate strength of the enemy's troops, and suddenly felt a little confused. What does it mean when a large army attacks the city and half of it is left in the military camp?

"Don't worry so much, tell brothers, get ready to fight! Kill an enemy and be rewarded with a piece of meat!"

"promise!"

Lao Huang shouted to everyone: "The captain said! Kill an enemy and reward him with a piece of meat!"

"Captain! Is this true?"

"Then I will kill a hundred of them!"

"One hundred is not enough! I want to kill a thousand!"

When they heard that killing the enemy would result in meat, everyone immediately felt like they had been given blood and screamed to kill the enemy.

"Boom boom boom..."

The war drums outside the city sounded this time, and the Qi army began to advance towards the city wall in an orderly manner.

Seeing this scene, Qin Yu frowned.

The Qi army just suffered a loss yesterday, why is it still attacking the city like this today? Isn't this costing the lives of soldiers?

"Bows and arrows ready!"

But Qin Yu could no longer think too much. The enemy was almost within range.

"put!"

Qin Yu gave an order, and a wave of arrows rose up from the city, eventually flying towards the enemy.

"Raise your shield!" The general of the Qi army immediately gave the correct order.

However, Tian He and his generals did not know how powerful the Tang army's bows and arrows were.

The armor-piercing arrows made of fine steel easily tore apart Qi Jun's shield. In just an instant, Qi Jun had suffered large casualties.

However, before the Qi army could react, the next wave of arrows from the Tang army came.

The Qi Army's first wave of vanguard troops had only advanced two hundred steps before they were almost wiped out by the Tang Army's bows and arrows.

Tian He was riding on horseback, his expression extremely ugly.

The range and penetration of the bows and arrows used by this Tang army exceeded his expectations.

What made Tian He most angry was that Jiang Wu didn't support him in attacking the city. He didn't expect such important information to be shared with him.

This is obviously to consume the troops in his hands and make fun of himself.

"Lord Governor, do you want to continue to attack the city?" the general on the side asked with his hands raised.

"Do you think so?" Tian He looked at the general with a smile.

The general shuddered and immediately ordered the siege to continue.

······

Facing the successive attacks of the Qi army, everyone on the city wall gradually felt the difficulty.

And the Qi army's siege ladder is about to arrive under the city wall, and I'm afraid there will be a repeat of yesterday's battle on the city wall.

Suddenly, a flash of light flashed in Qin Yu's mind.

"I know! I know how to use nettles!" Qin Yu happily ran down the city.

"Captain!" Lao Huang turned his head and looked at Qin Yu, wondering what Qin Yu was doing.

"Don't panic! Hold on! The commander is going to think of a way to defeat the enemy!" Seeing the soldiers' shooting speed slowing down, Lao Huang hurriedly spoke out to calm the morale of the soldiers.

Fortunately, Qin Yu came back soon, but he came up with a large basket, followed by several wounded soldiers, all carrying large baskets.

The green leaves that did not belong to this winter were slowly growing in the basket, and Old Huang was stunned for a moment.

"Captain, what is this?" Lao Huang didn't understand very much. There was a war going on. What were you doing with these things?

"Bang!"

The siege ladder hit the city wall heavily, and the Qi army struggled to climb to the top of the city with useless shields.

"Down with the leaves!" Qin Yu took the wounded soldiers and poured down all the nettles in the frame.

The nettles drifted down the city in the wind, adding a touch of green to the white snow.

After the Qi army saw the green leaves, they were all stunned. They didn't understand what the enemy troops on the city meant. What were they doing by throwing some leaves down?

Some soldiers even picked up these green leaves to admire them, but the next moment they screamed.

Although nettles are not as powerful as the leaves of the killer tree, the sting is still painful.

"What kind of leaf is this! It hurts so much! It itch so much!"

"It's sorcery! Sorcery!"

"ah!"

After Qi Jun came into contact with the nettles, they all scratched their heads and ears. Everyone on the ladder also scratched their itchy places and fell directly from the ladder.

Everyone on the city wall was so shocked that they stopped what they were doing when they saw how powerful this little leaf was.

"Why are you still standing there! Hurry up and release the arrow!" Qin Yu knew very well that this thing could only delay the enemy's attack. All he had to do was endure it, so the bow and arrow must not stop.

Sure enough, the enemy troops quickly reorganized their attack, and the strong hemp had only this effect.

While the Qi army was still attacking Tunliu, a fast horse came out of the Qi army camp.

"Lord Governor, the general ordered us to stop attacking the city! Pay gold and withdraw the troops!" the ordering soldier said.

Tian He looked at the messenger with an expressionless expression. He was so oppressive that the soldier did not dare to raise his head in fear.

A smile appeared on Tian He's lips, he raised his finger and said to the general next to him: "I obey the order of the Third Young Master and withdraw the troops."

"promise!"

"withdraw troops!"

Tian He looked at the order and said in a friendly tone: "Tell the Third Young Master that Tian He is not here to compete for the Third Young Master's credit. Please rest assured."

"Nuo~ I... take leave of my humble duty." The ordering soldier fled back to the camp as if running for his life.

Tian He looked at his men and asked, "Am I so terrible?"

The generals under his command held up their hands and smiled: "They are not familiar with the Overlord, so they naturally think that the Overlord is scary. After all, the Overlord holds the power of supervising and killing people."

"Well, it's a pity that the Tang troops in the city are not afraid of me." Tian He pulled the carriage and headed towards the camp.

As Tian He returned to camp, this short siege station that looked very dramatic also came to an end.

Qin Yu looked at the retreating Qi army with solemn eyes. Today, the Qi army had only been attacking the city for less than half a stick of incense, as if they were testing.

"Captain, the Qi army seems to be testing the strength of our army today." Lao Huang said in a deep voice.

Qin Yu clenched his fists, knowing that he didn't have much time left.
