Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

Ladders were quickly erected, and the soldiers of the Jin Kingdom climbed up the ladders like hungry ants. Their faces were full of ferocity and madness, and the shouts of killing from their mouths were like sharp arrows that pierced the air and made people tremble with fear.

The Third Prince's side quickly launched a counterattack. As they had been chasing all the way before, they did not bring the improved weapons such as catapults, Yaksha spears, and wolf-toothed maces for defending the city, so they could only use the ready-made ones.

Rolling logs and boulders were continuously sent onto the city walls in Heguan City to prevent the Jin soldiers from climbing up the walls.

The arrows had been used up in the previous battles. Now, the defenders had no other weapons available except the swords, stones, and rolling logs in the hands of the soldiers.

Therefore, when the Jin soldiers attacked like crazy, they climbed up the city wall with almost no effort and fought with the hungry and weak soldiers under the command of the third prince.

"Damn big source pig, give me your life."

"Brothers, these weaklings want to invade the territory of our Jin Kingdom. Kill them all."

"Look, without the gunpowder weapons, Dayuan and the other losers will just be at our mercy."

"Damn, the resistance of these big pigs is not as good as the women next door to my house. They are so weak and useless."

"Hahaha, this military merit is too easy to get."

"That's it. Kill them all."

The rampant Jin soldiers were like hungry wolves entering a flock of sheep. They kept waving their swords and cutting the weak-handed soldiers into a desperate situation step by step like chopping melons and vegetables.

On the city wall, soldiers from both sides fought each other, swords flashing like silver snakes. Every time the swords collided, dazzling sparks burst out, and the crisp sound of collision echoed in the air.

Blood splattered in the air like a red fountain, sprinkling on the bricks and stones of the city wall, staining them with shocking crimson.

Faced with the arrogant and contemptuous shouts of the Jin soldiers, which grew louder and louder, the screams of the Dayuan soldiers were like the wailing of wounded beasts.

The Third Prince, who usually looked cool and noble, was like a frightened quail at this moment. Facing the enemy's overwhelming attack, his face instantly turned as pale as paper, and the fear in his eyes made his eyes look scattered and helpless. His body was shaking violently, like a leaf in the autumn wind, which could fall at any time.

In the chaos, he suddenly pulled the staff beside him to stand in front of him.

???

With a swish sound, the sound of a sword cutting through flesh could be heard. The next moment, the poor staff member was cut in half by the enemy's sharp weapon without even being able to scream. Blood and internal organs splattered out instantly, and the tragic scene was unbearable to watch.

The Third Prince, whose face was covered with blood splattered from his aides, opened his eyes wide after witnessing this scene, his lips trembling as if he wanted to scream, but fear strangled his throat so much that he could only make a faint "woohoo" sound.

At this critical moment of life and death, the Third Prince completely lost his former nobility and aloofness, no longer caring about maintaining his status as a prince, and regardless of everything, he used his hands and feet to hide behind a nearby veteran, holding on to the veteran's armor with both hands, as if that was his only life-saving straw in this stormy battlefield.

The Third Prince's teeth kept chattering, making a "clack" sound, and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. His eyes flashed with fear, and sometimes he looked at the enemy in horror, and sometimes he looked around in panic, looking for a possible way to escape.

The surrounding soldiers, including the veteran generals, were so frightened when they saw that the Third Prince had easily pushed out his own staff to die.

Fuck, what kind of master are they following?

However, in the face of the crisis, they could not afford to be distracted and condemn the Third Prince's behavior. They could only go all out and fight desperately to resist the fierce attack of the Jin Kingdom.

Although the veteran had not eaten for many days and was extremely weak, years of fighting on the battlefield allowed him to burst out with amazing strength at the critical moment of life and death.

He held the sword tightly in his hand, his eyes revealing firmness and determination. Facing the enemy troops who kept rushing towards him, he was not afraid at all. He waved the sword with the whistling wind, and blocked the enemy's attack.

Every swing of the knife was full of force, as if to split the enemy in half. Even though his body was covered with wounds and blood was constantly flowing, he still gritted his teeth and persisted tenaciously.

The veteran knew that he could not fall down. There were countless soldiers watching him from behind. He had to fight for them. "Everyone hold on. Reinforcements will arrive soon. Don't give up hope at the last moment."

"Everyone, hold on a little longer and think about our families. If we give up now, we will never see them again. We must hold on until reinforcements arrive and never give up."

The soldiers had been starving for several days in a row, their hands and feet were weak and their eyes were blurry. In addition, they had to be on guard against the enemy's siege day and night. Both their bodies and energy had been overdrawn and squeezed to the limit.

Some soldiers lost their fighting spirit and simply sacrificed their necks when the enemy swung their swords at them, dying completely.

But some were completely driven to despair by the Jin Dynasty. They clenched their fists in anger, their eyes reddened, and shouted loudly, "Kill, you Jin dogs, who have repeatedly invaded our Great Yuan Dynasty. Sooner or later, the iron hooves of our Great Yuan Dynasty will flatten your Jin Imperial City."

"Don't give up, brothers. Fight with the dogs of Jin."

"Kill, I'm going to fight you."

On the city wall, the soldiers of Jin and Dayuan were fighting each other, blood was raining and the sound of killing was deafening.

The Jin soldiers had never expected that the starving Dayuan soldiers could launch such a powerful counterattack. The old general of Dayuan raised his bloody sword and shouted angrily, "Soldiers, kill these Jin thieves. Once the reinforcements arrive, they will be slaughtered."

"Hold on, don't fall down."

Thanks to the veteran's iron-blooded tactics, the shaky morale of the army led by the third prince was finally stabilized.

Just when everyone was about to be exhausted, an exciting horn sounded suddenly from afar.

"Reinforcements are arriving! Our reinforcements are arriving!"

A cry of surprise suddenly erupted from somewhere on the city wall. However, most soldiers seemed not to hear it amid the flashing of swords, shouts and screams. They just waved their swords numbly, desperately resisting the fierce attack from the enemy.

Until the "boom" sound of the explosion that shook the earth and the shaking of the ground beneath them instantly covered up the heavy breathing of every soldier.

At this time, Dayuan's soldiers suddenly came to their senses. Reinforcements... reinforcements... have arrived!
