Su Qian sighed: "I'm just worried about the people."
Although Deputy General Wu looked carefree, he was a different person when he was serious. "Don't worry. If we don't resist, we would be truly irresponsible to the people. The people of Fengyuan should be the ones who should feel ashamed. If they hadn't started the war, we wouldn't be in this situation."
"What Lieutenant General Wu said makes sense." After hearing what he said, Su Qian finally felt a little better.
I hope that this time, I can help Lu Huan and the people of Nanchang.
The city of Zhiyi had issued a notice saying that war was about to break out, and all the people outside the city were asked to evacuate into the city. Soldiers were searching the city gates one by one.

With the deafening roar of the catapult, huge stones hit the city walls and gates. The sound seemed to hit her heart, one after another, leaving behind holes.
Su Qian suddenly stopped: "Cuiwei, did you hear that?"
Cuiwei looked nervous and confused: "What did you hear?"
