Crossing the Unknown Country

Yingying didn't continue her path of studying medicine. Studying was too difficult, so she decided to help her mistress look after the house and make clothes! She served her mistress well, and other things were not something a little maid could do. Thinking this way, she gradually came to her senses.

Su He watched Yingying busy herself, knowing that she had figured it out. She didn't waste time and went to bed to rest early, as she had to go to help early tomorrow morning. As long as the Dongjie Army didn't withdraw, she couldn't relax and would do whatever she could.

The Ansheng Army gradually relaxed these days because the Dongjie Army stopped attacking the city. As long as the war did not start, the defenders inside and outside Fenggu City could get a break, and most of the soldiers tried to find a place to sleep.

The offensive and defensive battles of the past few days have exhausted everyone. It is a matter of life and death. It would be a lie to say that we are not nervous. As long as everyone stands in the front, they can't help but hold their weapons tightly. They are not afraid of life and death, but they must try their best to save their lives.

The Dongjie Army stared at the border town with eager eyes, wishing to swallow it up in one bite. But their teeth were weak and they couldn't chew it. They wanted to win quickly, but things didn't go as they wished.

The border town defense line of Ansheng Kingdom was indestructible, and the soldiers were brave and good at fighting and would never retreat, so no matter how hard they tried, they still could not capture the border town.

Jin Baochang was sitting in the big tent, holding a wine glass, thinking about how to attack the city next. He would not go to other places for the time being, and would just try to find a way to attack the city as soon as possible.

In addition, pigeons were sent to inquire about the news of other border towns. If those places were captured, we would not believe that they could hold on. Once other border towns were lost, it would be the biggest blow to Fenggu City. When morale was low, it would be the best opportunity to attack the city.

But the news they received was that those border towns were still intact and had not been attacked. Just like here, the defenders of Ansheng used firecrackers, suffered heavy losses during the attack, and could never capture the city gates.

They wanted to attack the city, so they had to use firecrackers. They sent a message back urgently, collecting firecrackers from all over the country and sending them here.

When they prepared the firecrackers, they found that the catapults had an effect on the first day of throwing them at the city. There was chaos on the city, and they almost attacked the city wall. They felt that they had found a way to attack the city. If they increased the number of catapults tomorrow, they would definitely be able to successfully capture the city.

The next day, the firecrackers were intercepted, and most of them fell to the bottom of the city and had no effect. They used some nets to catch the firecrackers and bounced them down. Some people used large boards to lean directly on the city wall, diagonally over the heads of the soldiers, so that even if the firecrackers fell on their heads, they would not explode them. If they fell behind, they would be bounced back by the nets, so that they could not explode anyone.

There were people on the city wall wearing thick clothes, ready to throw the firecrackers that bounced off the city walls at any time. They were all prepared, and the worst that could happen was that they would be killed by the explosion.

Su He later told General Wang An that water would be enough, no one had to go up and throw the firecrackers. Watching the firecrackers fall, there was water on the wall, and a large basin of water could be used to put them out. Let them dry and then light them and throw them back, so there would be no waste at all.

The arrows were collected by the wooden boards on the city wall, a real-life version of the straw boat borrowing arrows, most of the arrows fell down when they encountered the wooden boards. The advantage of these things is that the city people spent a lot of effort to shoot these things, and they actually became the weapons of the defenders.

The soldiers on the wall smiled and said, "This is a great idea. We don't have to carry weapons anymore. These are enough for us."

Other soldiers added: "This battle is so exciting. We can win without having to fight hard. It makes them so angry..."

"We are fully prepared this time, the enemy just wait to be beaten! ..."

"Look, it's not working today, stop attacking..."

The soldiers were fighting and chatting at the same time. Now they were dealing with the enemy's offensive perfectly. They just needed to take turns to rest. As long as they were not allowed to get close to the city gate, this was very easy for them.

Besides, their big stone gate could not be damaged by fire or water. As long as they did not use a lot of people to hit it with big logs, the stone gate could not be destroyed at all. But they could not reach the city gate, so how could they hit it?
