Crossing the Unknown Country

The atmosphere in Fenggou City is tense and exciting because everyone is united. They are ready to see what the enemy's next offensive will be.

The next morning, the sky was gloomy and it felt like it would rain at any moment. As the two armies were fighting, dark clouds gathered overhead and soon it began to rain heavily. The rain was heavy and dense raindrops hit the soldiers' faces and bodies. The soldiers who were climbing the wall couldn't get up at all. They kept slipping on the horizontal grids of the ladders and many soldiers fell down. The soldiers who were covering shot arrows from below, but because the rain blocked their sight, many arrows were missed.

On the contrary, the defenders of Fenggu City happened to have houses, and all the soldiers were not affected by the heavy rain. They shot or stabbed the enemies who climbed up one by one. Their purpose was to prevent them from getting close to the city wall, otherwise those with good martial arts skills would be close to death once they successfully climbed the city. Looking at those with agile postures, several people shot arrows together, and they must shoot them before they reach the middle of the waist. They made an appointment in advance that if they encountered tough guys, all the battlements would send people to shoot together. At that time, they would directly change to arrows with whistles to notify everyone to go up together. There were archers on each battlement, mainly to shoot those masters. They all knew that the most effective way to deal with masters was the wolf pack tactics, besieging and killing him together.

All the masters sent by Dongjie Kingdom today to change their tactics fell off the ladders one by one under the combined efforts of the archers. Wanyan Ahan was furious in the central army tent. Seeing the elite soldiers on his side being killed in large numbers, he felt that God was not on his side. Now there was no other way, so he had to call off the attack again.

Fenggu City successfully defended the city again. All the soldiers were very excited and left some people to take over the defense. All the soldiers who had retreated began to eat and rest. General Wang An had ordered the kitchen in the barracks to prepare a big pot of meat and vegetables to celebrate the victory of these soldiers. They really lived up to everyone's expectations and won the battle. The doctors in the city had all come to help treat the injured soldiers. They are fine today, and most of them have minor injuries.

At dawn in Shili Village, a large group of young men walked out of the village with farm tools. Yesterday, soldiers came to greet them and told them to be careful because an enemy had escaped. They also ordered the villagers to bury the bodies of the people they killed tomorrow, and then they rode away.

After seeing that everything was fine outside the village, he sent someone to invite the village chief out and went to the field to look at the bodies. They were all wearing black clothes and black pants, and their faces were covered with black cloth. The village chief asked a few brave villagers to search them. In total, they found a few ingots of silver and flints. He kept them for the time being and would discuss them later. He asked them to dig a pit in the deserted land nearby to bury the bodies. This was what they had been told to do. Several young men worked together to bury the bodies and flatten them. These bad guys were not worth building a grave.

Everyone turned back to the village and continued to strengthen patrols. As long as the enemy soldiers in the border town did not retreat, they would be in danger at any time. The remaining enemy fled to the mountains, and their villagers had to be aware that the mountains were dangerous.

The captain of Dongjie State hid in the dark for a day and a night and dared not move rashly. The wound on his back prevented him from running. Fortunately, he ran fast enough and the arrow did not penetrate deep. He fell while running. He had golden medicine on him, so he applied it with great effort and wrapped it with clothes. After resting for a while, he found the direction he came from and ran towards the border town. He had to hurry back. He needed to report the situation here quickly and then lead the large army over.

They all knew the situation of the border town, and it would be difficult to attack it by force. They had originally agreed to poison the water sources of the whole city with the help of the insiders, and then they could start the attack. But later they received information that the insiders had been captured, and the operation could not be carried out as planned. This made them very passive in this war. Forced attack was not their advantage, and every war was won by strategy.

Their general Wanyan had used this method to win countless battles. However, Wang An of Ansheng was too treacherous and insidious. He had been secretly observing their spies for a long time, but never took action. He captured them when they were about to go to war. This caught them off guard, resulting in the current disadvantage in the war.
