Travel through troubled times and escape famine with the system

On the city wall, after three or five waves of arrows, the archers completely put down their bows and crossbows and replaced them with spears more than ten feet long.

Siege ladders were set up one after another, and the Jin soldiers climbed up with shields raised, just like ants climbing a tree, one after another, ready to die.

The rain of fire from the kerosene spill...

The wail of the rolling and smashing tools...

The wolf's fangs hit the bloody spikes...

Scoop out the iron liquid from the furnace...

Lifting jib, floating fire box, swallowtail torch, iron striker, flying hook...

Countless city defense equipment of various types fell down, continuously reaping the lives of the Jin soldiers.

Wen Chengjie and other generals and warriors were stationed at different sections of the three city walls, all silently waiting for the warriors among the Jin soldiers to charge into the city.

"You're right."

Looking at the almost crazy soldiers defending the city on both sides, Wu Quanwen sighed.

Wen Chengjie took a half step forward and bowed, "What did you say?"

"I said, you were right before."

Wu Quanwen pointed to both sides of the city wall.

"War is about discovering the deepest evil in human nature!"

"There are more than a dozen kinds of defense tools on your city that I have never seen before, and I have never even heard of them."

"But now it seems that they are all real killing weapons."

"Even though I hate the Jin people, seeing this scene still makes me feel... cruel!"

Looking at the head hanging with a hook piercing its eye socket not far away, Wu Quanwen sighed.

Wen Chengjie nodded slightly when he heard this.

"Your Highness, you should go to the back and rest up."

"The siege has just begun. The Jin soldiers are using human wave tactics to consume our city defense equipment."

"The real battle to defend the city will take at least another two or three quarters of an hour."

"When the defenders on the city walls become tired and the city defense equipment begins to break down, the Jin soldiers will take the opportunity to charge into the city."

"When the time comes, we will have to rely on your Hua Jin cultivation to defend the city and fend off the enemy."

Wu Quanwen shook his head slightly when he heard this.

"It's good here. Everyone can see me and I can see everyone."

"Report!!"

With a loud shout, a group of soldiers with command flags on their bodies came running along the city wall.

"Reporting to the garrison, the Jin soldiers attacking the southern city wall have been defeated. They are now outside the range of the crossbows and are no longer attacking the city."

"The master asked me to report to you and ask you what should be done next."

Following the messenger's words, Wu Quanwen and Wen Chengjie were both a little stunned, but their expressions were different.

"It only took less than a quarter of an hour to repel all the Jin soldiers on the south side."

"Your father...is so good at commanding troops?"

Wu Quanwen asked with shock in his tone.

But Wen Chengjie next to him had a serious look in his eyes.

It was because of the strange deployment of the Jin soldiers in the south of the city that Wen Chengjie racked his brains but still couldn't figure out what the Jin soldiers' intention was.

But if he left the South alone, Wen Chengjie was worried that something might go wrong.

After much deliberation, Wen Chengjie selected 10% of the warriors from the northwest and 20% of the able-bodied men from the army, and had his father lead them to defend the south side of the city wall just in case.

But even so, Wen Chengjie was still worried.

Because he knew his father, the prefect of Qingzhou, too well.

Although Wen Xiuyuan is proficient in both literature and martial arts, he has also reached the state of perfect internal strength and has the means to kill people.

But this old man is actually a real civil servant at heart, kind and humble, and loves his people like his own children.

Wen Chengjie once had a conversation with his father and pointed out that the biggest reason his father could not break through to the Hua Jin realm was that he had no intention to kill.

Such a person can never be a good general even if he can recite military books by heart.

Therefore, the victory of the South City Wall could never have been achieved by the old man.

"What exactly are the Jin soldiers going to do?"

Wen Chengjie clenched his teeth and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"What's wrong?" Wu Quanwen saw the worry on Wen Chengjie's face.

"No!" Wen Chengjie gritted his teeth and said, "The Jin soldiers must have some tricks."

"Don't say that my father has no talent for leading troops. Even if he is really a great general, it is impossible for him to repel the Jin soldiers in such a short time."

Wu Quanwen frowned slightly when he heard this: "Is it possible that the Jin soldiers on the south side are too stupid..."

"impossible!"

Wen Chengjie interrupted in a deep voice.

"Your Highness, Qingzhou Prefecture is now the Inner Palace, but don't forget that this was confirmed more than 60 years ago."

"Before that, Xijiang Prefecture was Dongning Prefecture of the Jin Kingdom."

"And this Qingzhou is a border prefecture. When it was built as a border prefecture capital, everything was done for the purpose of war."

“It can be said that this city is a veritable war fortress.”

"The Jin soldiers invaded the border and gathered nearly 200,000 troops here. Why?"

"We will hold out until reinforcements arrive. Using this city as our camp, we can quickly stop the Jin soldiers from withdrawing from Qingzhou Prefecture and push the battle line to Jianhe County."

"But if the Jin soldiers enter the city first, we will be completely blocked to the east of Qingzhou City in future wars, and we may not be able to retake the city for several years."

"This city! It is the destiny of our country for the next few years, or even decades!"

"This has been the Jin Dynasty's plan for decades."

"Do you think they would let an idiot who doesn't know how to fight lead a war like this?"

Wu Quanwen: "…………"

Looking at Wen Chengjie's furious look, Wu Quanwen hesitated for a moment before speaking softly.

"Man proposes, God disposes. The situation on the battlefield changes rapidly. Do what you can."

"Such impatience will affect your judgment."

After saying this, Wu Quanwen turned and looked towards the city.

At this time, Wen Chengjie finally realized his gaffe. After taking a deep breath, he bowed respectfully to Wu Quanwen.

…………

In the river channel west of the city, Black Panther was hit by several arrows, but he still held on and blocked the hole washed out by the water without retreating at all.

Whoosh! !

Three more crossbow arrows attacked. Black Panther wanted to dodge, but his injured body finally slowed down and was nailed to the ground.

The black panther stretched out its sharp claws to try to break free, but no matter how hard it tried, it could only make a few grooves on the ground.

In the end, he could only look at the Jin soldiers in front of him with fierce and unwilling eyes.

At this time, Black Panther had already killed and injured thirty or forty people!

"Kill it!"

A brave Jin soldier shouted loudly, then raised his sword and chopped at the black panther.

But before he got close, he was hit in the face by a black shadow in the dark pit.

Accompanied by howling sounds, the Jin soldiers retreated cautiously.

And from the shadow of the pit, a thin girl in black clothes, with messy short hair and bloodstains under her mouth, nose, eyes and ears slowly walked out.

"Who are you..." a Jin soldier shouted.

But Lu You ignored him. He just squatted down, spread out his palms and put three powerful pills into the black panther's mouth.

"How dare you play tricks here! Shoot and kill!" A flag commander among the Jin soldiers shouted, and at once, dense sounds of breaking through the air were heard.

But the Lu You in front of him took a step, used the two skills of Dragon Step and Qi Sense, crossed a distance of several feet, and appeared in front of the flag captain.

Grab the knife and cut the throat!

Everything is done in the blink of an eye.

"Kill her..."

The Jin army flag chief had blood in his mouth and reached out to grab Lu You's collar, but he could only swallow his hatred.

Almost at the same time, black smoke exploded among the surrounding Jin soldiers, shocking them so much that they dodged in panic.

A breeze blew, the smoke dissipated, and a group of black panthers, more than ten feet long and as black as ink, slowly appeared, scaring the Jin soldiers into silence.

Among the black panthers, Lu You walked back to the injured black panther and reached out to help it pull out the crossbow arrows from its body one by one.

The medicinal effects of the three powerful pills were extremely powerful. The wounds on the black panther's body stopped bleeding and healed at a speed almost visible to the naked eye.

In just a few breaths, the black panther stood up again, lowered its head and rubbed Lu You's palm with its bloody head.

Lu You reached out and gently stroked the black panther's head.

"Your wisdom has been awakened, and I have also seen your loyalty."

"From now on, Lin Chong will be your name."

"From now on, all the black panthers I summon will be under your command."

"Now, I want you to follow me and kill all these Jin soldiers in black armor."

"Don't leave any one behind!"
