Chapter 502: War
Soon the Chen army appeared in sight again and gradually approached the city gate.
This time, no stone eggs were placed on the city wall. The people of Chen were on guard carefully, but they didn't expect that their worry was in vain and they gradually became bolder.
A general in black armor rode his horse to the front and spoke loudly. The translator who could speak the Da Qi official language explained:
"Don't be stubborn. We can definitely destroy Muchuan if we can come here. We are only trying to persuade you kindly because the people are innocent. If you still refuse to change your mind, don't blame us for being ruthless!"
[This man is Bai Feng's vanguard, and he is very arrogant. He is good at using two swords, and his sword skills are extremely fast, and he can't penetrate the wind and rain. However, he has a flaw, he is color blind, and can't distinguish between red and green.]
The system comes out to eat melons.
"You are a tiny country of barbarians. You dare to come out and burn, kill, plunder and become a robber, relying on your uncivilized and unreformed culture. Today I will teach you a lesson. Let you know that a great country will not allow beasts to run rampant!"
Su Qianqian is not good at fighting, but she has never lost when it comes to scolding people. She uses a homemade loudspeaker to shout at the other party.
The soldiers on the city wall and the temporarily recruited militia all cheered.
The translator didn't dare to explain. The black-armored vanguard asked in a stern voice, so the translator had to stammer and simply translate what Su Qianqian said.
"Wow wow..." The black-armored vanguard yelled angrily, waving his two swords desperately.
"This is what a beast should be like. It would be difficult even if they were wearing human clothes!" Su Qianqian blurted out another sentence.
"How outrageous of you witch!" Bai Feng behind suddenly spoke fluent Da Qi official language.
"Hey, can he understand what I say? And can he speak Da Qi language?" Su Qianqian didn't expect this and was startled when she heard his strange cry.
At this time, the distance from the city wall to the Chen State team was only a hundred meters, and with Su Qianqian's loudspeaker, the other party could clearly hear what Su Qianqian said.
"There is not much difference between the official language of the State of Chen and the language of the State of Qi. The reason why you couldn't understand what they said before was because it was a dialect of the State of Chen. Even the people in the capital of the State of Chen couldn't understand it."
Qin Hanjue touched his nose, and was deeply impressed by the brain circuit of the general of the State of Chen. He even deliberately got a translator for this. Of course, the black-armored vanguard really couldn't understand, as he had no culture...
"But most of what we say should be understandable."
[So that's how it is. You're actually using dialect to humiliate my language system's ability to recognize language! 】The system suddenly understood.
"The only tribe in the southernmost part of the State of Chen is not only good at using knives, but also good at making sharp knives. They are the most powerful tribe in the State of Chen, but these people are unwilling to leave their hometown easily, so the State of Chen is not completely ruled by this tribe. Bai Feng comes from here, but why did these people come to Da Qi?"
Qin Hanjue’s studies were indeed not in vain, as his knowledge covered a wide range of subjects.
"You, a witch, are speaking arrogantly. I want you to know that the generals of my Chen State should not be underestimated! The Qin family has now fallen apart. Who else can stop Bai's wolf master?"
Bai Feng pointed his long sword at the city wall and said, "What's the point of hiding on the city wall? Why don't you go out and die? Even if the city wall is raised, can it stop my Wolf Division? If you are willing to surrender, I can show some mercy. Otherwise, I will definitely destroy this Muchuan County!"
"Grandmother, if we encourage him to attack, we can take advantage of the fact that we still have enough stone eggs and javelins to dampen the enemy's spirit and boost the morale of the people. This way we can hold out longer and wait for reinforcements."
Su Qianqian made her purpose clear.
"That's what I was thinking. You did a great job. In this battle, all of us in the Qin family will go to the battlefield. Let them think that the soldiers we are testing are capable of fighting. There are elite soldiers hidden in Muchuan County."
Madam Qin narrowed her eyes and looked into the distance, speaking in a low voice.
"Grandma, why don't we find a few sturdy soldiers, put on armor, stand on the city wall, and pose as military generals." Su Qianqian came up with another idea.
"That's right. All's fair in war. Make them feel fearful." The third old lady's eyes lit up and she gave Su Qianqian a thumbs up.
"Okay!" Madam Qin gave the order.
At this time, the black-armored general was already impatient. He was mumbling something to Bai Feng and roaring arrogantly in a loud voice.
"They actually knew that Muchuan had special vegetables, and they said they would capture all the people of Muchuan and take them to the State of Chen to make them two-legged beasts, plowing the land and doing hard labor!"
Qin Hanjue angrily explained to Su Qianqian what he had heard.
"You're dreaming. Da Qi is not yet at the point where we can be bullied by others!"
He raised the bow in her hand and said to Madam Qin, "Grandma, even though my granddaughter-in-law is a little inexperienced, I can still shoot the arrow without missing the target from a distance of a hundred steps."
"Good boy, there has never been a coward in our Qin family. How could the girl Han Wei likes be timid and cowardly!" Mrs. Qin nodded.
Below the city, the Chen people were ready to attack. They did not take Muchuan seriously at all and did not use ladders. Instead, a group of burly men stood on their horses, laughing wildly and quickly shaking four-clawed grappling hooks with ropes in their hands. They ran towards the city wall and swung the grappling hooks to hook the bricks of the wall.
If a soldier poked the grappling hook with a gun, the Chen people behind him would shoot arrows upwards.
He bent his bow and drew his arrow without hesitation, and shot steadily at the enemy archer, who fell off his horse.
However, this did not make the Chen people timid. Instead, they roared even more excitedly, and more people rushed towards the city wall quickly.
Qin Hanjue also picked up the bow and arrow, trying hard to control the trembling of his hands. The six arts of a gentleman were never meant to hurt people's lives, but at this moment this skill had only one purpose.
The people of Chen dodged the arrows and rushed towards the city wall. Some of them were already climbing up quickly along the ropes.
At this time, Madam Qin ordered the throwing of rolling stones.
The Chen army, which had been watching from a distance, vigilantly observed the movements on the city wall, fearing that the terrifying stone eggs would appear again.
But nothing happened for a long time. Those people became bolder and no longer as vigilant as before. They were like vicious wolves ready to pounce on the weak little rabbit.
The number of Chen people under the city wall was increasing, and more and more of them fell off the city wall, but even more of them rushed up.
"Release the stone eggs!" Mrs. Qin gave the order at this time.
This time there was no need to throw it so far. When the stone eggs flew out with a whistling sound, fear flashed in the eyes of the Chen soldiers. There was a violent explosion accompanied by screams, and a group of Chen soldiers fell down.
"Good! Good fight!" said the Muchuan soldiers on the city wall.
Some of the recruited militiamen were on the city wall, and some were transporting supplies. They were very excited when they saw this scene: "We in Muchuan can resist the Chen people ourselves!"
"Fire the rockets!" Madam Qin ordered again.
The soldiers used arrows wrapped in cotton cloth, dipped them in various oils, lit them, and shot them at the crowd below the city, causing another round of screams.
The successive stone eggs finally caused the Chen army to be defeated, and Bai Feng ordered a retreat.
Some Qi soldiers on the city wall were shot, and some were hooked by Chen soldiers while trying to knock down the hooks.
"Qin's army, follow me out of the city to fight!" Madam Qin shouted.
