Gu Qian lowered his eyes and glanced at the map in his hand.
Fu'an City is not large in area.
They were still thousands of miles away from the capital of Qi.
Feng Qi stepped forward,
"General Gu, the garrison commander of Fu'an City is Qi Heng's man. Shall we attack the city, or circle around it?"
Gu Qian glanced at the shadowy figure in the corner of his eye and gave a deep order.
"Attack the city!"
If Feng Qi hadn't mentioned it, he would have almost completely forgotten about Qi Heng, the Crown Prince of Northern Qi.
"Let this humble general go!" Captain Qin acted as the vanguard, personally leading his soldiers into battle at the city gate.
Feng Qi took the lead without hesitation, standing shoulder to shoulder with Commander Qin, each commanding their own troops.
Qiu Dayu and the other soldiers were both nervous and excited.
Qiu Dayu: "Zhao Chuan and Zhao Yi, you two, keep a close eye on them. Neither of you can get into trouble."
As he spoke, he followed the army and pushed the heavy crossbow cart.
Zhao Yi: "Qiu Dayu, you say this every time we go to war. Aren't you tired of it? We're all sick of hearing it."
Even so, a warm feeling welled up inside him.
Zhao Chuan shrank back. "You may be tired of hearing it, but I'm not. What Qiu Dayu said is true." He still had to keep his life to take care of his parents.
Zhao Jun: It seems that his future brother-in-law has forgotten about him.
Holding a shield, he shielded his ballista brothers from stray arrows at his side, returning the arrows with his own.
However, in a moment of carelessness, a cold arrow whizzed past and pierced straight into his shoulder.
Zhao Jun groaned and fell to the ground, protecting the soldiers beside him even in his final moments.
Like him, some of the soldiers were also shot.
Can it be called war if no one is injured or maimed?
"Zhao Jun!" Qiu Dayu released the crossbow, took Zhao Jun's shield, and shielded him from enemy arrows.
Unexpectedly, he himself was exposed to the enemy's eyes.
Northern Qi archers rained down arrows.
An archer noticed that Qiu Dayu's entire back was exposed, and drew his bow to aim...
The cold arrows whizzed past, heading straight for Qiu Dayu's back.
"Watch out!" Zhao Jun watched helplessly as a cold arrow hurtled towards Qiu Dayu, but due to the sharp pain in his shoulder and the short time it took, he broke out in a cold sweat.
When Qiu Dayu heard the arrow, it was too late.
No matter how fast he is, he can't outrun an arrow.
For a moment, he was stunned...
Clang! The expected pain didn't come; instead, two broken arrows lay on the ground.
A long arrow appeared out of nowhere, blocking the other long arrow.
He looked up and saw Gu Qian on a tall horse, staring intently at him.
It turns out that General Gu had been protecting him in secret all along.
Moved, Qiu Dayu felt a surge of energy.
He quickly dragged Zhao Jun out of the Northern Qi army's firing range, and then rejoined the crossbowmen team.
"kill……"
On the city wall, the enemy soldiers were frantic with worry.
Under the orders of the Northern Qi commander, they fired their arrows in an orderly manner.
Zhao Zheng watched the brave soldiers charging forward, his blood boiling. He followed his men and charged toward the siege ladder.
Xia Minhan followed behind Zhao Zheng and also climbed the cloud ladder.
Zhao was above him, and he was below him. Just as they reached halfway up, Zhao was struck on the arm by a stone thrown by the enemy.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Zheng's body tilted to the side and he fell straight down.
He reacted quickly, pulling Zhao Zheng to his feet, but unfortunately, he saw the boulder hurtling towards his head.
He sidestepped, knowing there was no way to dodge, and pulled Zhao Zheng along as they jumped down the ladder.
The two fell... thud, and shattered into pieces!
Xia Minhan saw a cold arrow flying towards them and quickly blocked it with her shield...
Only those who have truly experienced war can understand its cruelty.
