Looking at the indifferent faces on the city wall, Yu Luo raised his hand to stop several soldiers who wanted to rush up and argue.
"Don't confront them head-on."
“I have my own way of doing things,” she said, turning to look at the soldiers behind her.
A soldier slumped to the ground, croaking hoarsely, "I never thought we couldn't even get through the city gates!"
Another soldier clenched his fists, his eyes bloodshot: "I didn't die at the hands of the enemy, but I almost died from arrows from my own men!"
Despair and anger filled everyone's faces as they looked at Yu Luo with a hint of confusion in their eyes.
Yu Luo looked around, his gaze sweeping over every tired and desperate face.
"Do you want to go back?" Her voice was steady, yet carried a seductive power.
Everyone suddenly looked up, a faint light igniting in their eyes.
"Yes!" someone growled in a low voice.
"Do you want Jiang Yaoming to pay the price? Do you want to turn the tide, defeat the Peacock Kingdom's troops again, and let them know how powerful the Yan Kingdom is?" Yu Luo's voice rose a few decibels.
This time, everyone nodded in unison, their eyes blazing with intense hatred.
“Okay.” Yu Luo’s lips curled into a barely perceptible smile. “Listen to me, let’s find a hilltop and rest for a while.”
She pointed to the distant, indistinct mountain range.
Soon, the group arrived at the top of a mountain.
A group of bandits originally lived on this mountain, but they all fled after hearing that the enemy was attacking.
Only a group of elderly, weak, women and children remained, trembling and hiding in the cave.
When the elderly, women, and children heard about their plight, they handed over their meager food supplies and provided them with basic first aid.
The group settled down and gradually recovered from their injuries.
The mountain is mostly inhabited by women who have been kidnapped by bandits and are to be sold.
These women were all lifeless, their expressions filled with despair, like walking corpses.
However, one morning when Yu Luo was leading the soldiers in training, he asked the women, "Do you want to learn martial arts together?"
The women looked up, a hint of confusion in their eyes, which was quickly replaced by self-doubt.
“We don’t have that strength,” a woman whispered, her voice filled with despair. “How can we compare to men?”
Yu Luo shook her head, looking at them with a firm gaze.
"I can develop a new type of weapon." Her voice was exceptionally clear in the morning light. "Even without much strength, you can still fight on the front lines. Are you willing?"
The group of women all nodded excitedly, their eyes sparkling with an unprecedented light.
Soon, Yu Luo gathered all the ingredients for the recipe and began to study them.
Actually, she hadn't had much contact with these things before she transmigrated, but for some reason, she started remembering one recipe after another after transmigrating.
She even remembered the methods for making simple cannons clearly, and could make them as long as there were enough materials and manpower.
After a brief moment of hesitation, Yu Luo stopped thinking about it, because the most important thing right now was to survive.
If we have the strength, then we'll seek revenge!
She didn't let Liucheng off the hook either, and frequently inquired about what was happening inside.
She knew that Jiang Yaoming had become the new General Jiang, and that the Peacock Kingdom had indeed not attacked during this period.
Jiang Yaoming was even supported by the people, who praised him for "turning the tide".
Upon hearing this, the soldier who had been following Yu Luo was furious and slammed his fist into the ground.
"It was clearly your doing that we repelled the enemy for the first time!" His voice was hoarse, filled with resentment.
"What he gained was only a false peace; the Peacock Kingdom will eventually attack again!"
Yu Luo gazed into the distance, her eyes deep and thoughtful.
“I know.” Her voice was calm, as if she had expected everything.
"Moreover, this was deliberately leaked to us by those people; in reality, their actions would likely be even faster."
The soldiers all sighed, their expressions worried.
Is there really no solution?
Are we just going to let the Peacock Kingdom conquer Liucheng and destroy the Yan Kingdom?
“Yes,” Yu Luo said softly.
"However, I need more people to cooperate."
