Chapter 70 Turning from defense to offense

In the city center, some brave residents also spontaneously joined the firefighting efforts. They used various tools, even their own hands, to diligently put out the flames. Although the fire was still fierce, they did not give up, because they knew that the city was their home and they had to protect it.

Lin Feng stared at the blazing fire, a surge of determination building within him. He quickly gathered the twenty or thirty people who had made the detonators, including Xu Tian. Although Xu Tian looked bewildered, he trusted Lin Feng and followed his lead without hesitation.

Lin Feng wasted no time. He had each of his men take fifty detonators and briefly explained his plan to Xu Tian. Afterward, Lin Feng led fifteen men toward the southern wall, while Xu Tian led another fifteen men toward the northern wall.

When they reached the range of Ni Xiangfeng's bows and arrows, they stopped and lowered the detonators. Then, they borrowed bows and arrows and tied string to the detonators. Once everything was ready, Lin Feng and Xu Tian each led a team to tie the detonators to the bows and arrows, then lit the fuses.

The sound of the burning fuse hissed in the air, like the whisper of death. Lin Feng and Xu Tian stared at the fuse, waiting for the perfect moment to fire. When the fuse was almost completely burned, they gave the order simultaneously to fire the lit detonator at the enemy on the eastern wall.

In an instant, countless flaming detonators streaked across the night sky like meteors, hurtling towards the enemy. Seeing a few arrows coming their way, the enemy initially ignored them and simply blocked them. However, they never imagined that these seemingly ordinary arrows were actually deadly detonators.

The moment the detonator made contact with the enemy, a series of deafening explosions erupted. Flames shot up into the sky, smoke filled the air, and the enemy, stunned by the sudden blast, stared at the scene in horror, unsure of what was happening.

Lin Feng and Xu Tian took the opportunity to lead their men forward, firing arrows as they advanced. Their movements were swift and decisive, giving the enemy no chance to breathe. As they approached the catapult's range, it spotted their movements and began aiming, preparing to attack.

Lin Feng watched helplessly as the flaming oil cans approached him, his heart filled with despair. He knew that if these oil cans fell on him and the soldiers, the consequences would be disastrous.

At this critical moment, a miracle occurred. The oil cans suddenly exploded in the air, spraying oil everywhere, and flaming oil droplets fell into the enemy ranks. In an instant, a raging fire spread among the enemy troops, and screams and cries rang out one after another.

Lin Feng was stunned. He didn't know how the oil cans exploded. But he didn't have time to think about it, because he saw that the catapults were already aimed at them and a new round of attack was about to begin.

Without hesitation, Lin Feng ordered his soldiers to aim their arrows at the catapults. They aimed their arrows at the catapults and fired with all their might. With a whoosh, the arrows flew towards the catapults like meteors.

Just as the arrow was about to hit the catapult, it suddenly exploded with a loud bang and broke into pieces.

General Li Hua came to Lin Feng and asked with concern, "Lin Feng, are you okay?" Lin Feng looked at Li Hua gratefully and said, "General Li, thank you for saving us." Li Hua smiled and said, "You're welcome. We are comrades-in-arms and should help each other."

It turned out that General Li Hua and his men arrived in time and shot the oil can flying towards Lin Feng with a bow and arrow, causing it to explode.

Lin Feng suddenly thought of Xu Tian. He asked worriedly, "Oh no! Xu Tian must have been targeted as well." Li Hua consoled him, "Don't worry. I've already sent She Wu to support him." Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good."

Although Lin Feng's men only had an average of five detonators left, he knew that these detonators could play a huge role at a critical moment. He immediately ordered his men to aim at the crowded area below and shoot, while General Li Hua was responsible for clearing the remaining enemy troops on the city wall.

The battle on the city wall was extremely fierce. Although General Li Hua and his men were brave, they were still far from enough to face the 300,000-man army. After clearing the enemy troops on the city wall, they began to attack those who had already reached the city wall.

Lin Feng and General Li Hua led the soldiers in a desperate fight with the enemy. They brandished swords and fought bravely, their robes stained with blood.

With their heroic fighting, the enemy's offensive was gradually contained. But the enemy did not give up, they continued to surge up the city wall, trying to break through the defense line of Lin Feng and General Li Hua.

Lin Feng and General Li Hua knew that they could not retreat and had to hold the city wall, otherwise the city would be in danger. They encouraged each other and continued to fight the enemy.

In this difficult defense battle, every soldier played his role. They defended the dignity of the city with their own lives and wrote a magnificent heroic hymn with their own blood.

As time went on, the enemy's offensive became weaker and weaker. Lin Feng and General Li Huali took the opportunity to launch a counterattack and drove the enemy out of the city wall.

When the last enemy on the city wall fell, Lin Feng and Xu Tian were finally able to reunite. They stood back to back, breathing heavily, their exhausted bodies looking like they would collapse at any moment.

General Li Hua and She Wu stood beside them, their eyes revealing a determined look. General Li Hua shouted loudly: "She Wu, hold the stairs! Everyone else, follow me!" His voice was full of majesty, leaving no room for doubt.

She Wu received the order and quickly led a group of soldiers to guard the stairs leading to the city wall, while Li Hua led another group of soldiers to stand ready on the city wall.

At this time, the enemy outside the city surged in like a tide, their number reaching 300,000, while the city was engulfed in flames. In this situation, the city wall became the last line of defense.

"Brothers, for the sake of our homes and our loved ones, we must defend this place!" General Li Hua boosted morale.

The soldiers shouted in unison: "For our homeland, for our loved ones!" Their voices echoed on the city walls, making people's blood boil.

Under their fearless resistance, the enemy began to climb the city wall. However, General Li Hua and others were already prepared.

Captain Zhong Qizhong arrived with his soldiers, holding the detonator improved by Lin Feng.

"Everyone listen carefully, separate the detonators, light the fuse, and throw them towards the area where the enemy is concentrated!" Zhong Qi shouted loudly.

The soldiers acted according to the order. For a moment, the sound of detonators exploding under the city was heard one after another, and the enemy was blown to pieces.
