After finishing his speech, the junior officer on the city wall was too lazy to waste any more words with the so-called mighty general and turned to leave. The mighty general wanted to say a few more curses, but unfortunately, what awaited him was a barrage of deadly arrows.
The so-called mighty general was so frightened that he turned and ran away without the slightest hesitation.
Given the current situation, Hu Laosan is considering whether or not to inform them. After all, it's wishful thinking to think that 10,000 men can really take down such a tough nut.
However, the necessary tasks of setting up camp still needed to be done, and this mighty general demonstrated his superb command skills by launching an attack on the city immediately after the camp was set up.
Immediately, all the smaller departments were mobilized, after all, they were the main force in the siege. If they didn't go up and die, who would lead people up to die?
Hu Laosan immediately led his hundred-plus men to hide at the back. Although it was a siege, the tens of thousands of people were almost completely disorganized, and half of them rushed forward in a daze.
The arrows fired from the city walls could easily kill large numbers of soldiers, and by the time they reached the city walls, all kinds of well-equipped war resources were readily available and put to use.
There were no shortage of rolling rocks and logs, and with the addition of splattering hot oil, the first group of people who rushed up were almost completely mangled before they even got close to the city wall.
However, no matter how disorganized the crowd was, the scene of tens of thousands of people launching an attack together was still quite spectacular. When Hu Laosan came to his senses, he found that Lao Laizi was also nearby with his men.
"I'm not saying this to be mean, but instead of seizing this opportunity to make a contribution, why are you just lying around here?"
Old Laizi rolled his eyes and said, "Oh, since you know it's a good opportunity to make a name for yourself, why don't you go? Why wait here for us to go first?"
Hu Laosan said with a smile, "Hey, look, I'm doing this for your own good. You're getting on in years. If you don't work hard now, how will you ever get ahead in the future?"
"Come on, leave such a good opportunity for advancement to you, young man. I'm an old man with bones, I don't care much about this kind of thing."
Both of them knew better than anyone else that, given the current situation, it would be a miracle if they could even make it up. Anyone who went up first would have to wait to die.
As expected, more than a thousand people had been killed or wounded in just one hour, and the mighty general had no choice but to call a retreat. Otherwise, if the fighting continued, it wouldn't be a question of whether he could defeat the enemy, but whether he could survive.
While taking advantage of a situation might work once, you can't always do it; that would be going too far.
The next morning, the mighty general was still not at ease. After revising his tactics, he decided to launch an attack from both sides.
Unfortunately, no matter what, the fundamental reason has not changed. It is wishful thinking to think that you can take down the enemy with this rabble.
Murong Xing showed no intention of leaving the city and spent his time guarding it. Even though they could have left the city to pursue him for several days, he showed no interest whatsoever.
After several consecutive defeats, discontent was growing throughout the camp, and the mighty general stopped urging people to go out. If he were to force these people to leave now, it might escalate into a mutiny.
Meanwhile, Ningye's side had already begun the real New Year celebrations, and the eve of the Lunar New Year was arguably the most important day.
Today, Ningye is also preparing to check if his system has given him any New Year's gifts.
The system's New Year's Shop has been refreshed.
[Premium Truth-Emitting Potion, exchangeable for 1000 taels of silver.]
[Premium anti-aging potion (can greatly delay aging after use). Exchangeable for one thousand taels of silver.]
A calligraphy copybook by Yan Zhenqing can be exchanged for one thousand taels of silver.
[Premium Physique Enhancement Potion (Diluteable, maximum 1000 doses, retains 1% of original effect.) Exchangeable for 1000 taels of silver.]
[New Year's fireworks, free to redeem.]
Ning Ye was practically drooling with envy. He knew without a doubt that these potions would be incredibly potent, since the system had never given him anything that wasn't effective.
However, this system is still a bit shady. It's the first New Year, but it only gave me one big firework. What's so special about this thing?
Well, in this era that we've never seen anything like it before, this thing is truly one of a kind.
Of course, Ning Ye still valued the so-called physique enhancement potion the most. Since it specifically told him that it could be diluted, it must be prepared for his subordinates. After all, he had already used the more effective gene potion, so it was obviously not for him.
However, everything else can wait until later; Ning Ye is very interested in this so-called anti-aging.
Although Lin Qinshu is still very young, she will inevitably feel sad about aging in the future. Using it now will save her from being sad and upset later.
Ning Ye's potion was different; it was a beautiful pink color. To ensure there wouldn't be any problems with it, Ning Ye risked his life and took half a bottle for himself first.
After drinking it, Ning Ye felt that the sweet and sour taste was so much better than the one he had drunk before, and it seemed to have no adverse effects.
Damn it, this damn system must be discriminating against us, otherwise how could it be like this!
As Ning Ye eagerly prepared to deliver the medicine, Lin Qinshu was talking to Xiao Yuan in the room, "How's your consideration of what I told you before?"
Xiao Yuan gripped the hem of her dress tightly with both hands. "Miss, I hardly ever speak to the young master. Even if you wanted to match us up, I don't think he would be interested in me."
“It’s alright here now, but once my husband leaves here in the future, I don’t know how many women he will encounter. If you don’t help me, I’m afraid I won’t be able to keep him by myself.”
Xiao Yuan quickly said, "Miss, you must be overthinking it. Young Master is not the kind of person who gets bored easily, and there will definitely be no problems in the future."
Lin Qinshu feigned sadness and said, "Men are the most fickle of men. There are some things that even they themselves can't be sure of. Who can say for sure?"
