Through the troubled times and famine, I just want to farm peacefully

Yun Mo was very sharp-eyed and sharp-eared, and he shouted quickly: "There are stones being thrown, prepare the shields!"

Immediately afterwards, countless stones hit the shield with clanging sounds.

The soldiers on the city wall held up their shields and huddled against the wall to avoid the stones. Despite this, many soldiers were still injured by the stones.

The logistics soldier crouched down and quietly carried the injured soldier away.

The air smelled of blood.

With the help of huge stones thrown by slingshots, the Hu soldiers found ladders and quickly rushed to the city wall, trying to climb it.

Yun Mo: "Not good! The barbarians are coming, everyone prepare to kill them!"

Yun Er spat fiercely, and seeing the Hu people about to climb up, he picked up a stone on the ground and smashed it down hard.

"Smash you bastards to death!" He cursed as he smashed the things.

Today is the tenth day that they have been defending the city gate. The Hu people know that they are outnumbered and use the wheel tactics every day to consume their physical strength. Everyone is exhausted.

The soldiers defending the city had a hard time, and the Hu people attacking the city had a hard time too.

Although it is spring, the weather is still cold this year.

The 100,000-strong Hu army would consume a lot of food and supplies every day for their eating, drinking, and defecation, so He Xiong planned to capture Nanzhou Prefecture as soon as possible so that the soldiers could recuperate and prepare for the capture of other prefectures and cities.

He Xiong rode on his horse, looking at the fierce battle ahead.

A soldier came forward to report, "General, Lieutenant General Yu is back."

He Xiong's eyes lit up after hearing this, "Hurry up and ask him to come up!"

A moment later, Yu Shida and four other men came forward, each carrying two large wooden boxes.

"My humble servant greets General He!" Yu Shida saluted He Xiong respectfully.

He Xiong looked at him expectantly, "Is the stuff ready?"

"Replying to the general, I have lived up to your trust and have brought the things with me."

"Quick! Open it and let me see."

The soldiers opened the two boxes, revealing a number of tightly tied small packages.

"Is this the powerful explosive you mentioned?" He Xiong picked one up and looked at it again and again, but couldn't figure out why this thing was so powerful.

Facing He Xiong's suspicious gaze, Yu Shida was not worried at all.

He had already researched explosives before. The finished products from the experiments and the raw materials that he had stockpiled with great difficulty were burned up in the fire. Later, after searching for a long time, he finally found some raw materials hidden in Yu's farm.

Because the proportions were difficult to grasp, he spent a lot of time on it to complete it.

"Hahaha, good! Hurry up and blow up the city gate. Tonight I want to use the blood of the people in the city to commemorate our dead brothers!"

He Xiong stared at Nanzhou City with sinister eyes. That guy was indeed a member of the Yun family. In just a few days, thousands of his brothers had been killed or injured.

"General, after the city is captured, I beg to spare the lives of my family." Yu Shida bowed and put himself in a very humble position.

"It depends on you."

He Xiong waved his hand and didn't care about these lives at all.

"Yes! I will go and break down the city gate right now!"

Yu Shida and his men, taking advantage of the cover of night, quietly approached the city wall.

They thought they were doing it very secretly, but they could not escape Yun Mo's hawk-like eyes.

"Yun Qi, look at those people carrying boxes over there."

Not long after, Yun Qi returned to report, "Master, the leader is Yu Shida."

When Yun Si heard that it was Yu Shida, his expression changed instantly.

"Could it be that he asked people to carry explosives?"

"Explosives? Didn't we take them all away and burn them?" Yun Qi said.

Yun Mo's face was covered with dark clouds, and he said in a deep voice: "I haven't seen him these past few days. Maybe he has gone to make explosives."

"If he can find the raw materials, he can do it again if he can do it once."

Yun Er rubbed his sore hands. When he took back Yu Shida's explosives, he had studied them before. His own was only slightly inferior to his, but also extremely powerful.

Yun Mo said: "Find a way to stop him and don't let him get close to the city gate."

Yun Er picked up his bow and arrow and walked towards the city gate, "I'll go!"

In order to protect Yu Shida, He Xiong doubled the number of troops to assist in the siege.

The arrows of the Hu people came like locusts, and the already small number of Longtan soldiers suffered heavy casualties.

Watching Yu Shida and others getting closer and closer to the city wall, Yun Er became anxious. When his rockets were used up, he tore off the hem of his clothes, dipped them in oil, wrapped them around the arrows, lit them, and shot at Yu Shida.

The arrows were almost all used up, but Yu Shida was still well protected by Hu Bing.

"Damn!"

Yun Er cursed inwardly, then rolled over to avoid the rocks falling from the sky. The rocks were covered in oil and were still burning when they fell.

He had already confirmed that the box carried by the Hu people was filled with explosives!

After dodging this wave of stone-throwing attacks, Yun Er was just about to lean out when he heard a loud noise like a landslide and the earth splitting. A dazzling light instantly swallowed up the darkness. Something flew towards him, and his left eyebrow was hit, causing severe pain. Immediately, a hot stream flowed down his eyes.

Yun Er couldn't open his left eye and his ears were buzzing. He covered his ears with both hands and saw with his right eye that the soldiers on the city wall were running down the wall.

Yun Mo rushed out and said something to him, but unfortunately Yun Er couldn't hear anything at the moment. He saw that he looked anxious and worried.

Yun Er released his hands from covering his ears and shouted, "What did you say? I can't hear you!"

Without caring about anything else, Yun Mo picked up the bow and arrow on the ground, slung it on his back, and pulled him towards the city wall.

Outside the city gate, he heard the overwhelming shouts of the Hu people, and he pushed Yun Er towards Yun Si.

"Take him away quickly, I'll cover you!"

Yun Si wanted to stay, but Yun Mo picked up his sword and left, "This is an order!"

Yun Er glanced at the city gate with a big hole in it, and his mind went blank for a moment.

The city was broken!!

"The city has been breached! The barbarians have entered the city!"

"Everyone, run!"

"The city gate has been breached, everyone, hurry and leave the city from the north gate!"

The moment the city gate was broken, the secret guards in the city beat drums and gongs and shouted in the streets.

At this time in Nanzhou Prefecture, people on the streets were pushing and shouting, running towards the north gate in panic.

The people were so terrified that they had no time to pack up their belongings and hurriedly fled the city with their families.

There were also some smart people who packed their valuables in advance, but they didn't bother to pick up the things that were scattered all over the ground in the panic-stricken crowd.

The Central Plains had been at war for several years, and everyone had heard about the ferocity and brutality of the Hu people. They knew that if they couldn't escape, they would die.

From time to time, the sound of children crying could be heard in the crowd, and the crying sounded particularly mournful in the noisy and panicked crowd.

Yun Shiyi came to the outside of Yu Mansion and took away dozens of soldiers who were surrounding Yu Mansion.

"The south gate has been breached. The master will cover our retreat. You all follow me and rush out from the north gate."

The Yu mansion's housekeeper was frightened when he heard what happened inside and hurriedly opened the door.

"My brave man, if you leave, what shall we do?"

"Run for your life!"

The situation was urgent, Yun Shiyi said no more and led his people away.

Butler Yu hurriedly ran to pass the message, but the Yu family members who lived closer to the street had no time to pack up and followed the crowd to run towards the north gate.
