The two of them went straight to the city gate, while the rest of the large force stationed on the spot.
When the generals defending the city saw the reinforcements coming, they were immediately relieved and stood up to greet them, saying excitedly: "The two generals are finally here! The city defense supplies are exhausted, did you bring enough supplies?"
Song Wu nodded and asked, "How is the battle going?"
"The bodies are piled up like a mountain. All the Jin soldiers fought to the death! We don't know how many there are, but I feel that there are at least more than 10,000... If we hadn't had the news in advance, I'm afraid I wouldn't have survived this day."
"Well, they really have to fight hard. This is their only chance." Song Wu said, "There will definitely not be enough thunderstones and rolling logs in the later stages. We should demolish all the houses of the people and use them as city defense supplies."
"We must abandon the high city gates, and they must also be relocated. It is most convenient to obtain materials locally."
"Also, let your brothers go down first and let them guard the city gate. His Majesty has said that with the Wutu hot air balloon in hand, it is very likely that they will send people to attack at night, attacking from both inside and outside, so we have to be on guard."

Song Wu smiled slightly: "Defend the city? With the way Wutu is fighting today, can two city gates stop him? We will bombard the enemy head-on with artillery for a few rounds, and the enemy will definitely lose all morale. Then we will chase them directly and save many lives."
"Besides, the entire army is interested in testing the actual combat power of artillery. Who would suggest such a thing to Your Majesty?"
"The most important thing is that Lord Fang has been kidnapped, and His Majesty is furious... He said he would break the backbone of the Jin Kingdom in front of Wutu!"
