Chapter 284 283 Rational people choose to give up pretending



The army led by Yuchi Yi, led by veterans who were familiar with the road, took a day and a half to arrive outside Cangbei City.

By the time the soldiers of Cangbei City discovered it, the entire city had been surrounded.

They watched in panic as the Jibei army arrived here, but they did not send anyone to challenge them, nor did they rush to attack the city.

They just set up camp not too far away and went in and out calmly.

It seemed that they were not here to attack the city. It seemed more like the Jibei general had nothing better to do and brought tens of thousands of troops to camp outside Cangbei City.

Seeing this scene, the soldiers of Bei Ming were wondering what these people were here for.

In the military tent, Yuchi Yi sat in the first seat.

Sitting below were Gao Tai, Liu Boxing, Zheng Xiaoling, Chai Hongzhuang, the newly promoted General Huaiyuan Ke Yu... and a group of generals.

At this moment, the leisurely and indifferent expressions they showed outside were gone from their faces, and everyone's expression was more or less anxious.

After all, they couldn't capture Cangbei City in one day. At the Jibei border, not only would they have to tie up half of the troops brought by the Cangbei City defenders, but they might also be in danger at any time.

They ignored the enemy's calls and inquiries and did not respond for several days.

Several spies who were secretly sent out from Cangbei City to deliver messages were caught by them. They started to get anxious and gradually panicked.

According to what they had agreed at the beginning, they would openly repair the plank road while secretly attacking Chencang.

An Xin held back half of the defenders of Cangbei City in the open, while Yuchi Yi led the troops that had sneaked in secretly to attack Cangbei City which was guarded by the enemy.

One day in the middle of the night, Yuchi Yi and his men moved.

The main general Yuchi Yi led the troops, including Liu Boxing, Gao Tai, Zheng Xiaoling, and a group of outstanding soldiers in the army.

One by one, they came quietly with a barbed hook tied with a rope in their hands, and observed a place with weak defense in the past few days.

Yuchi Yi made a gesture and the people dispersed and threw the hooks in their hands up to hang on the city wall.

By Yuchi Yi, Liu Boxing, Gao Tai, Zheng Xiaoling, Shen Qiang, Zhao Pengyuan, and Yan Zhengkuan...

Some people with better skills climbed up the city wall first to hold off the first wave of alarmed enemy troops, while those behind tried to come up as quickly as possible.

The more people who climb up the city wall, the more time they can buy for the soldiers who will climb the ladders to attack the city.

Amid screams, on the Cangbei border wall, in an instant, swords and sabers flashed and blood splattered.

The Jibei soldiers who climbed up the city wall had eyes filled with murderous ferocity and firm belief.

For so many years, they have been suppressed by their own cowardly commander, and they have endured the provocations from the defenders of Cangbei.

Now, with Yuchi Yi, the fearless young general, they can finally hold their heads high and feel proud. How can they restrain their bloodiness as soldiers?

After a series of desperate battles, the Jibei soldiers who climbed up the city wall were not afraid of life and death, and they persevered and fought one after another. Finally, someone came to the city gate and opened the heavy city gate.

Tens of thousands of soldiers in northern Ji held up their shields to withstand the rain of arrows shot down from the city walls, and rushed into the slowly opening city gate, howling like wolves and tigers.

The defenders of Cangbei had not seen such ferocity and strong fighting spirit among the soldiers at the Jibei border for many years.

For a time, without a main general in charge, the remaining soldiers in Cangbei City were defeated.

On An Xin's side, several days passed.

Liao Angkuo, who originally had no intention of attacking the city, ran to the city wall and accused An Xin of bringing war to the northern border of Hebei after Ma Boteng was secretly released by his confidants.

When he incited the people to riot, he found out that there were only about 10,000 troops left in Jibei City. When he arrived here, the rest of Jibei's troops had already gone to attack Cangbei City which he was guarding.

Liao Angkuo is also a weirdo.

When other deputy generals heard that the city they were guarding was attacked and wanted to go back to rescue, he insisted on taking advantage of the lack of troops at the northern border to attack here, ignoring the city and the people he was guarding.

Nor was he afraid that Yuchi Yi would lead his troops to massacre the city.

In the end, An Xin smiled and, in front of Ma Boteng's disbelieving eyes, punched him a few times, leaving him with only his last breath.

This was because the old emperor wanted to keep him in Beijing to testify against the officials who colluded with him and embezzled military pay.

An Xin lost his temper and punched him to death for disregarding the lives of the people in the city and shouting out the fact that there were only 10,000 soldiers left in Jibei's defense.

The soldiers who had been standing on the city wall in fear for several days and dared not leave also clenched their fists and gnashed their teeth in hatred.

The people who released Ma Boteng were beaten half to death, and then the soldiers dragged them all away and put them in jail, this time guarded by trusted soldiers they had arranged.

An Xin looked at the people who came to the city to cause trouble, and seeing the panic in their eyes, An Xin let them go.

"Everyone go back, this city cannot be conquered."

The people looked up at the woman standing on the city wall, looking down at them calmly, as if they were comforted by these words.

Perhaps things had already come to this and they couldn't change anything, so they finally returned to the inner city with heavy hearts.

An Xin turned his head and looked towards the city below, where the Beiming defenders were already organizing and preparing to attack the city.

Liao Angkuo looked up and met An Xin's eyes that were as bright and cold as the moon, and his gloomy look paused.

He already knew that it was this woman who chopped off his cousin's head. Thinking of the look that Liao Angkuo gave An Xin, he became even more vicious.

An Xin smiled faintly, opened and closed his mouth, and said something slowly.

As An Xin closed her mouth after she finished speaking, Liao Angkuo's determination to kill her became even stronger.

An Xin smiled and watched the sunset filling the sky with sunset glow and night was about to fall.

She knew that Liao Angkuo would not attack the city at this time.

As for whether they would do the same as Yuchi Yi and the others, planning to launch a sneak attack in the middle of the night when people are most relaxed and sleepy, that remains to be discussed.

But An Xin will not give them this opportunity.

From that night on, all the generals and soldiers lived and ate on the city walls, ready for battle, and An Xin himself was no exception.

If the city was breached by surprise attack, she could not bear the consequences for the thousands of lives she left behind.

In the middle of the night, except for the infuriating lanterns hanging on the city walls, everything was pitch black.

An Xin wrapped herself tightly in a black cloak with a wolf-fur lining and rested against the arrow tower. She did not fall asleep with her eyes closed, but was always listening to the movements outside the city.

She thought that if Liao Angkuo attacked the city, she would help the system with tasks, exchange some modern advanced weapons with it, and defeat the enemy outside the city.

But in the end, An Xin decisively gave up this idea.

Reason told her to give up, because the emergence of firearms would inevitably increase the ambitions of those in power.

If it is not handled properly, the world will be plunged into endless wars, with countless lives lost and people living in misery.
