Traveling through troubled times: Princess disguises herself as a man and becomes a soldier to earn

As the deafening sound of drums rang out, the war was about to break out. On the Yun Kingdom side, the army was led by a young general. He looked towards Jiudu City with a determination to win in his eyes. He raised the spear in his hand and made an attacking gesture.

A large group of soldiers attacked towards the city gate of Jiudu.

On the city wall, Wang Meng led his men, holding a strange long tube in his hand, observing the distance through the tube. When the time was almost right, he waved his hand and shouted, "Fatty, prepare to throw the mine."

The fat man shouted loudly: "Yes, it's ready and can be deployed at any time. Brothers, get ready."

"put!!"

One after another, black balls were ignited and thrown towards the Yun Kingdom army with sparks. With the sound of thunder, the originally orderly team was instantly defeated and became chaotic.

The Yun Kingdom also soon discovered something was wrong. A vanguard soldier ran back and said anxiously, "The general is in trouble. Feng Lan threw something and it exploded as soon as it hit the ground. The power was amazing and the formation was broken up."

"If this continues, we will be in a passive position."

Meng Si panicked when he heard this, and subconsciously looked to his side: "Dad, what's going on? Where did Feng Lan get this weird thing? I've never seen it before. Should we continue attacking the city or stop?"

The middle-aged man said dissatisfiedly: "You are leading the troops now. No matter what happens, the commander must not panic. Send the vanguard to test first, and the troops in the rear should keep their distance and not gather together."

"That black thing is definitely not a stone. As long as the army does not gather together, there will not be too many casualties. Let the vanguard disperse. I don't believe that they can have so many black things."

Meng Si's eyes lit up: "Yes, I understand."

As he spoke, he winked at the people beside him, the red and black flags were raised, and he made a strange gesture. Soon the vanguard army broke away and dispersed, and the army behind stopped and kept their distance.

On the city wall, when Fenglan's soldiers saw this scene, their initial joy quickly dissipated, and their hearts became heavier. They couldn't help but look at the expressionless group of people.

Chu Huai looked over and asked softly, "Brother Wang, I'm afraid they have already seen through our plan. Now it's time for me to lead my men down and kill their vanguard first."

Wang Meng made a gesture, indicating him not to speak for the time being.

Clapping their hands, they said, "Come here, take the second batch of supplies and replace the ones on the city wall. We have catapults with longer range. Replace them with those. Yours is too bad."

"The distance is too short. If we go up, we can kill another wave of them. There is no need to rush out of the city. It is not the right time yet. The enemy's army is not in chaos yet. It is not worthwhile to go down now because of heavy casualties."

Upon hearing this, Chu Huai stood there in a daze. This is a war, right? If it is a war, shouldn’t we go out to meet the enemy? Why are we still considering whether it is cost-effective? Who fights a war like this?

"Brother Wang, isn't this a waste of mines? What if this batch is used up?"

Wang Meng waved his hand, looking relaxed: "Don't worry, someone will deliver them, there will be no shortage of mines."

"But the official road is blocked, so they may not be able to come over."

"Yes, my general has a way. If she says yes, then yes. If we can't walk on the ground, then we can walk in the sky. General Chu, don't be too rigid. This is a war. No matter what means, the most important thing is to injure the enemy as much as possible and protect our own soldiers."

Chu Huai glanced at the sky. It was so gloomy that he couldn't see anything. When he came to his senses, he found that the catapult had been replaced with a smaller and lighter one, ready to drop mines.

"Brother Wang, this catapult is too small. It can be thrown farther. Don't let it go wrong and land on the city wall. Then we will be blown to death."

Wang Meng ignored him. The distance was just right. He had to seize the time and kill as many of them as possible while the Yun army was unprepared. This way he could give them a head-on blow and crush their morale.

Otherwise, if the other party becomes cautious, it will not be so easy to kill him.

"Fatty, get the bamboo poles ready."

"put!!"

Meng Si looked at the flying black ball, raised his head and glanced at it, but didn't take it too seriously. He had used this trick before. It was impossible to hit them from such a long distance...

Just as he thought of this, there was a thunder explosion beside him. The horse under him was frightened and became agitated. He did not grab the reins and was thrown out. His ribs were broken on the spot, and he fainted with blood spitting out of his mouth.

Seeing this, Meng An shouted, "Si'er, send someone to call the doctor, and hurry up. Retreat, and quickly get the army to retreat."

They roared loudly, but the sound had long been drowned out by the thunder. By the time everyone reacted and started to retreat, they were already trapped there, unable to move back.

As three drum beats sounded, the army came to their senses and hurriedly retreated, continuing to retreat until they reached the river, away from the attack range of the black ball, and then they sat on the ground and gasped.

On the wall of Jiudu

Everyone was completely dumbfounded as they watched the retreating Yun Bing. They were retreating right away. They had defeated the enemy without losing a single soldier. How could it be so easy? It was really...

Wang Meng and the others were a little disappointed when they saw the Yun army retreat. They looked at each other and said, "What a pity, they retreated so quickly. We wasted some mines. General Chu is fine now, so we will go back first."

"Oh, please sign this. A total of 51 mines and 15 small catapults were used. We will need to check them later. If there is any damage, Feng Lan will have to pay for it."

"General Chu, you have no objection, right? After all, we provide people and things, and we can't say how much profit is worth it. That's too ruthless. I'm not that kind of person, but at least, I can't lose money. Our general is very poor."

The corners of Chu Huai's mouth twitched constantly. He lowered his head to glance at the booklet. It was indeed detailed enough, but the problem was that he was fighting just now. When did he have the time to write this?

No, these people are really weird. I don’t know if the General Yunli they are following is the same as the general he is. He will have the same kind of subordinates. I’m afraid they are even more weird.

Wang Meng got the things and nodded with satisfaction: "General Chu, we are tired and want to go back to rest first. These catapults are in your care. Please ask someone to bring us food. We are so hungry."

"...Okay, I will arrange it right away. I wonder if there are any taboos about food."

"No, just eat meat, the more the better. We are the ones who do the hard work and don't like to eat vegetarian food. There is nothing else to do. Don't prepare any alcohol. We don't drink."

As he was about to go down with his men, he suddenly stopped, turned around and said, "Women don't need to prepare either. Military orders are as strong as a mountain. The general said that we must be clean and not mess around, otherwise we will become eunuchs."
