Lu Qiqi transmigrated into a chaotic world of famine. With no parents and carrying a little sister in tow, she had to face immense hardship.
On the road during her escape, while others drank ...
A major battle is imminent.
An Shi stood atop the city wall, glancing up at the Tatar army.
He mentally estimated the distance: 500 meters, 300 meters, 100 meters.
As the Tartar cavalry advanced, he smirked and shouted, "Archers, prepare!"
At a command, the soldiers standing by the city wall all drew their bows and nocked arrows.
"put!"
A barrage of arrows was fired, fireworks soared into the sky, leaving a trail of black smoke in the air.
Arrows rained down like meteors, instantly halting the Tartar army's attack as they desperately dodged the arrows.
The sound of the great scimitars deflecting arrows was incessant, and the arrows pierced the bodies of the Tatar soldiers, taking their lives and seriously wounding them.
Ajitai sat on a war chariot at the rear of the army. When he saw his troops being forced to retreat by arrows, they fell from their horses as if struck by rain.
His eyes instantly turned bloodshot, and he slammed his greatsword heavily onto the war chariot. He then summoned his trusted men, "Take the city at all costs! Have the soldiers take the ladders and charge!"
He simply couldn't believe that this camp would have the manpower and arrows to kill his 70,000-strong army.
Ajitai stood up, looked at the Great Jin army in the distance, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Previously, he looked down on the mere 30,000 troops of the Great Jin Dynasty. Firstly, he had Wu Guangping as an inside agent, who knew that although the Great Jin Dynasty had iron mines, very few ironwares were produced from them.
Now, however, they don't know where they got such a huge number of arrows.
He speculated that Wu Guangping had probably already been exposed, and that the messages he sent out were all fake!
Ajitai muttered Song Yanqing's name under his breath, and finally cursed, "Damn it! This prince will use your blood to pay tribute to the unjustly killed warriors of my Tatars!"
The Tatar army initially dispatched only 40,000 elite troops, but now the entire army is attacking the city gates.
Dozens of siege ladders were pushed by the Tatar army, like worker ants pushing a giant object, and quickly advanced toward the city gate.
When An Shi saw the Tartars' siege ladders, he knew it was time for him to make his move. He and An Jiu were left in the city to use catapults to smash the Tartars' siege ladders.
Lu Qiqi understood their tactics and immediately volunteered to help.
When it comes to calculating the parabola of catapults to attack Tatar siege ladders, no one can compare to her.
When she arrived at the location of the catapult, she not only saw Dark Nine, but also Nineteen.
Lu Qiqi breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, the kid hadn't left the city, otherwise he would have been in big trouble when he came back.
An Shi climbed to the top of the city wall, found the fixed point that Lu Qiqi had given him, and used the kaleidoscope that Lu Qiqi had given him to aim at the ladder that the Tartars were pushing.
Once the speed and distance of their advance were estimated, they used flags to signal the people below the city wall, indicating their exact location.
Once Lu Qiqi saw the direction the flag was pointing, she immediately ordered her men to adjust the direction. The boulder on the catapult was instantly launched outside the city, forming a beautiful parabola.
The battlefield was noisy, and the sound of the siege ladders being destroyed could not be heard. When Lu Qiqi saw An Shi change his aim, she knew that they had succeeded.
Lu Qiqi shouted, "Again!"
Nineteen grinned and got back to work.
Boulders flew everywhere, destroying most of the ladders pushed by the Tatar army, and scattering the Tatar troops in formation.
When the giant stones ceased their attack, the Jin army standing beneath the city walls gripped their reins, whipped their horses, and charged towards the Tatar army.
The cloth bags at the waists of the Jin soldiers were filled with thunderbolts. When the thunderbolts exploded, the poison would spread. The Jin soldiers had already taken the antidote before leaving the city gate.
The Tartars drew their swords and quickly approached, but Song Yanqing, wielding a long spear, instantly pierced the Tartar's chest, leading a group of men to carve a bloody path through them.
The Jin soldiers seized the opportunity and blasted their thunderbolts at the Tartar armored soldiers.
When struck by a heavy object, the thunderbolt explodes instantly, releasing a colorless and odorless poison.
When the Tartar opened his eyes and fell to the ground, he was still unaware of what had happened.
Beneath the city walls of the main camp, the sounds of swords clashing and cries of pain filled the air, creating a scene reminiscent of a living hell.
At the same time, fierce fighting broke out between the East Camp and the West Camp.
Tadar personally led 50,000 troops to attack the western camp where Qin Shiyu was stationed.
Meanwhile, in the eastern camp, Zhamu and Wuqi led their troops to attack.
Qin Shiyu stood on the city wall, wielding a powerful sword and hacking at the Tartars climbing the city wall from the cloud ladder.
Blood splattered, staining every inch of her armor red.
A year ago, Kodar died at her hands. This time, Tadar is sparing no effort and will not stop until he has captured the city. It is likely that he has taken both old and new grudges into account.
The moment Wu Mu ascended the city wall, he swung his broadsword straight at the Jin soldiers. He charged forward with his broadsword, killing a soldier with each strike.
Just as he was about to seize the opportunity to lead a group of men to open the city gates and welcome the army into the city, he saw Qin Shiyu, his face covered in blood, gripping a large sword tightly, charging towards him.
Crazy woman!
Wu Mu cursed inwardly, unconsciously tightening his grip on the scimitar in his hand, waiting for Qin Shiyu to rush up so he could slash her with his blade!
A loud bang.
Qin Shiyu, who had been charging towards the Tartars with his sword raised, suddenly stopped.
A strange look flashed across her face, and she instantly understood: the Tartars had stormed into the western camp!
At the critical moment of life and death, Qin Shiyu shouted, "Soldiers, kill the enemy and uphold our national prestige!"
No sooner had she finished speaking than a heavy force slammed into her, the cold iron broadsword blocking the curved blade with a clanging and piercing sound.
Seeing her extremely quick reaction, Wumu immediately used all his brute force to suppress her.
Qin Shiyu dodged the attack with a quick movement, then slashed at the ebony with his broadsword, instantly turning the tide of the battle.
Ebony is incredibly strong; for Qin Shiyu to match his stamina is simply wishful thinking.
However, she did not intend to do so. The broadsword sliced through the curved blade, producing a few sparks. With a turn, a bloody gash appeared on Ebony's arm.
To her surprise, just as she raised her knife to strike the ebony again, everything went black before her eyes, her body stiffened, and she lost her balance and fell to the ground.
As he fell to the ground, I saw Ebony reveal a mocking smile.
When the western city gates were breached, the eastern and main camps began to sound drums to signal a retreat.
Ajitai lost 100,000 troops and was shot in the shoulder with an arrow. Under the protection of his trusted men, he fled in disarray on a war chariot.
The Eastern Camp was led by Lu Da. Most of the 30,000 Tartars were killed or wounded, but the city gates remained unmoved.
Uchi, carrying Jamu who had lost an arm, rode away from the battlefield, leaving the Tatar soldiers fleeing and retreating.
The gates of the western camp were breached, but the Jin soldiers stationed there were no pushovers either.
Tadar led an army of 50,000, but had already lost 20,000 men at the foot of the city walls. During the siege, he had only 30,000 men, and they were still covered in molten gold and emitted a foul stench.
These soldiers charged forward with brute force, but the pain they felt forced them to reduce their fighting capacity.
Therefore, even half an hour after the fall of Xiying City, the two sides were still locked in a fierce battle.
