Chapter 185 Filling the gap
"Marshal, the King of Jin is attacking fiercely, and we don't have enough archers. If this continues, Yuanzhou City will soon be lost!"
"Don't be impatient, let me think about it."
"Marshal, Marshal Bai!"
Suddenly, Gao Dani's voice was heard outside the door, but the voice arrived before she showed up.
"What's the rush?"
Bai Li scolded lightly, without any intention of blaming him.
"Marshal, many civilians have come to the city walls. They all want to go up to the city walls and fight the enemy with us."
"Let's go and take a look."
Bai Li stood up and several people followed him down the city wall.
There was a commotion below the tower. When Bai Li and his companions arrived, someone shouted, "Marshal Bai is here!"
Everyone stopped and turned to look at the stairs.
I saw a beautiful young girl standing there, but her eyebrows were frosty and her eyes were sharp, making people dare not look directly at her.
What an amazing girl!
"Marshal, we are from Shahe Village, remember?"
"And me, and me, from Shanghe Village. Marshal, do you remember me? My name is Sha Dahe!"
Bai Li took a closer look and remembered that these were the people she had rescued with her cavalry, and later had asked Magistrate Wu to settle them in the city. It turned out that they had not returned to the village yet.
"You, I appreciate your kindness, but you don't know how to shoot an arrow. You can't help us even if you climb up the city wall."
"Marshal, I can shoot arrows. During the slack season, I often go hunting in the mountains. I can't say I always hit the target, but I never come back empty-handed."
"And me, we've all hunted before and we all know how to shoot arrows with a bow!"
As they were talking, dozens of men from Shahe Village stood up, and hundreds from Shanghe Village also stood up.
Seeing this, the other people became anxious, fearing that the marshal would not want them.
"Marshal, although we can't draw a bow and shoot an arrow, we have strong legs and feet, and we can help with the lifting work."
Bai Li agreed. Carrying bows and arrows, stringing the eight-ox crossbow, and other unskilled tasks all required manpower. With their help, the soldiers would have more time to deal with Simon the dog.
"Alright! You are all worthy of being the passionate men of our Great Zhou. As long as everyone unites as one, we will definitely be able to drive Simon the dog away!"
"Okay, follow Marshal Bai and kill Simon the dog!"
There were several thousand people who came. Bai Li screened them and found about five thousand who were suitable.
It’s just right, to fill the vacancy left by the number of people leaving the city.
Bai Li had more people and was confident. He went up to the city wall. Just then, Simon launched another attack on the city. Bai Li immediately gave the order, "Shoot! Fire the crossbows!
"Prince Jin, why are there suddenly so many people on the city wall?"
King Jin looked up hurriedly and saw a crowd of people on the Yuanzhou city wall in the distance, which seemed to be more than double the number of people.
Seeing that the moat bridge had been built on the city wall, it was suddenly shot down by a rain of arrows. The people standing on the moat bridge rolled down, and many people were killed and injured at once.
"Prince Jin, it seems we can't take the city today!"
Wu Feng was afraid of death. He had just been carried back after Wu Ming led his troops to attack the city. A sharp arrow was stuck in his chest. He was unconscious and his life or death was unknown. He looked so miserable!
Although Wu Feng was timid, he didn't dare show it in front of King Jin.
So I can only find an excuse.
Prince Jin glanced at him coldly. Wu Feng shrank his neck and dared not say a word in embarrassment.
"Wu Ming is coming down. You are to lead the troops to attack the city. If you don't take Yuanzhou City today, you will be beheaded!"
Wu Feng was startled and was about to evade the question, but when he saw the murderous intent in King Jin's eyes, he silently shut his mouth.
It seemed like he couldn't get through this level. Wu Feng gritted his teeth, turned around, and rushed out.
Since there is no way to escape death, let’s give it a try!
Bai Li looked at the Simon soldiers who kept coming to die, and mourned for them in his heart for a second.
Not all of these people are extremely vicious and willing to rob and plunder to survive.
It’s just that they were born in troubled times, and they have to obey others and have no control over their own affairs.
The most hateful people are those in power.
However, she was just expressing her feelings, and she was not so saintly as to show mercy to them.
Seeing that they couldn't take the city wall for the time being, Bai Li felt a little relieved.
It's not that she hadn't thought about taking out bombs to blow up all those bastards, but she had only a few bombs left and she had to keep some as backup.
Another thing is that she would never use bombs if the problem could be solved with crossbows, because she had no bombs left and no materials to make them, and she had no bows left, so she could just ask the emperor for money to make them.
Standing on the city wall, she took out a telescope and looked into the distance. Not far away, the gloomy face of King Jin appeared in the camera.
His facial features are deep and three-dimensional, his thin lips are tightly pursed, and his brows are slightly furrowed. If you ignore the cold eyes, he is still a handsome man.
However, his gloominess made Namgoong Min's face look even brighter.
According to later generations, Prince Jin is like a dark villain, while Nangong Min is like a righteous man, full of sunshine and righteousness, giving people a full sense of security...
Bah!
We were at war, why did you think of him?
By the way, where are her father and the others?
You won't bring the troops back at this time, will you?
Bai Zongren, who was on the top of a distant mountain, used a telescope to see the sudden increase in the number of people on the Yuanzhou city wall and was puzzled by the sudden increase in the number of people.
"Brother, what's wrong?"
"See for yourself."
Bai Zongrui took out a telescope and started looking.
After he and Bai Zongze led the team to reunite with their eldest brother, they found that they could not return to Yuanzhou City, so they had to lead their troops to hide in the mountains.
They were not so stupid as to lead their troops straight into the encirclement.
Seeing that his two brothers were just staring without saying anything, Bai Zongze quickly took out his telescope and started looking.
The two brothers were extremely grateful. Later, Bai Li finally remembered that they didn't have a telescope, so he gave one to each of them.
However, she only gave one to Bai Dalang from her brothers and said that she had no more.
This made Bai Sanlang and the others only able to look on with envy, and Bai Li said that there was nothing he could do without them.
After the three brothers finished watching, they put down their telescopes and looked at each other, their eyes full of confusion: There are only 6,000 soldiers in the city, why do they look like more than 10,000?
"Brother, we can't go back to the city, what should we do?"
"How about we lead our troops to attack them from behind and relieve some of the pressure on Li'er and the others in the city?"
"No, with the limited number of troops we have, we will only die if we go up there.
Instead of helping Li'er, it became a hindrance to her, giving the enemy an opportunity to take advantage."
Although Bai Zongren was worried about his daughter, he was more rational. He had to be responsible for the lives of his soldiers and make plans for Yuanzhou City.
"So what do you say we should do?"
"Our three groups have returned, but He Daniu's group hasn't returned yet.
So, second brother, take a few people and disguise yourself as ordinary people. Wait on the official road leading into the city. If you see He Daniu and the others, bring them here immediately."
"good!"
The two brothers understood what their eldest brother meant and were afraid that He Daniu would act recklessly and become a human target if they saw the Simon army rushing forward.
Bai Zongrui responded and went down. They were originally wearing casual clothes when they came out, and now they wrapped their heads with a piece of cloth and immediately became ordinary people.
