You died to save me, I promise you a lifetime

"what!"

"my eyes!"

"it hurts!"

Screams rang out one after another, and the people of Nansang were in chaos again.

The archers of Dayan took this opportunity to rain arrows down on the Nansang people who were running around with their eyes covered under the city wall.

Soon, many corpses of Nansang people were piled up under the city wall.

Seeing that the chili powder had worked wonders, Mu Qinxuan and the soldiers cheered and threw away all the remaining powder, even the poisonous bees and snakes.

Now, with screams continuing, the Nansang people's offensive momentum was completely blocked. They left behind a pile of corpses and temporarily retreated.

After Mu Qinxuan and Mu Qinting met, they found Li Shaowei.

"General, please send some skilled warriors to take advantage of Nan Sang's temporary retreat to pile up the bodies under the city wall and cover them with kerosene. They will be of great use later."

Li Shaowei understood their intention as soon as he heard it. He looked at the corpses under the city wall and then at the distance of the Nansang people. After evaluating, he waved his hand to those around him, and a group of people in black flew down the city wall.

Soon, a wall of corpses was piled up under the city wall.

An hour later, the Nansang people rallied and resumed their attack.

When they were about to attack the city wall, Mu Qinxuan dipped the arrow in his hand into kerosene, lit it, and shot it at the wall of corpses with a "whoosh".

The corpse that was doused with kerosene caught fire instantly. The fire, driven by the wind, suddenly grew into a wall of fire several feet wide and more than ten feet high, and quickly spread to both ends.

Now, the Nansang people were unable to cross the wall of fire and could only stand back.

The military advisor sighed and said, "Marshal, let's retreat today. Continuing the battle will only result in more casualties. Let's go back and make preparations, discuss countermeasures, and come back tomorrow."

Yang Shian mobilized his internal energy and cursed loudly.

"Li Shaowei, you coward, do you think you can stop our Nansang army by hiding in your shell and using some despicable and shameful means?

Just wait, sooner or later I will demolish this wall of yours and enter Dayan."

Li Shaowei didn't bother to pay attention to him and called his personal guards: "Go, tell the fire corps that we won a victory today, so we'll kill some pigs and sheep to reward our brothers."

Yang Shi'an cursed for a while but got no response, so he led the way back to the camp in boredom. As soon as he arrived, he couldn't wait to pull the military advisor back to his own tent.

"Given the current situation, we can't just waste time with them. Tell me, what should we do?"

The military advisor pressed his temples for a while before saying, "Marshal, it's useless to just be anxious. We should solve problems when we encounter them.

They're using some dirty tricks, and we just have to figure out how to counteract the venomous bees, snakes, and chili powder."

"You have a solution, don't you?"

"To protect against poisonous bees and snakes, have the brothers tie up their trouser legs and sleeves, cover their heads tightly, and apply some insect repellent.

The more difficult part is Chili Powder. We can’t ask everyone to wear a veil, right? Besides, we are going to fight, and wearing a veil is not convenient.

Yang Shian imagined a group of grown men wearing veils and fighting, and he couldn't help laughing.

"If that happens, I will really become a laughing stock and go down in history."

The military advisor nodded and said, "That's why I say this is a difficult matter. However, we can also take a bold gamble and bet that they don't have that much chili powder."

"You mean to say that we should ignore everything else tomorrow and just attack?"

"No, let's think of other possible solutions, such as what I just said, asking the brothers to apply some insect repellent and tie up their trouser legs and cuffs.

Also, bring all the ladders. As long as someone climbs up the wall, there will be a breakthrough."

"Okay, let's do as you say. Even if they still have chili powder, the wind won't always blow in our direction, right?"

"That's the truth."

Now, Yang Shian was happy and pulled the military advisor to drink tea.

On the other side, Li Shaowei led everyone back to the commander-in-chief's tent.

He said happily to the generals, "Today we successfully stopped the Nansang people at the city wall and killed nearly 20,000 of them. This is a great honor. Let's all share our thoughts."

Mu Yiqi, however, showed a worried look on his face. "We relied on a little trick to stop the Nansang people today. After they go back to rest and reflect tonight, I'm afraid there won't be such good things tomorrow."

As soon as he finished speaking, the generals who were originally talking and laughing happily suddenly became quiet.

"I'm not trying to spoil your fun, but the situation is just like that. We need to be prepared for any danger."

The brothers Mu Qinxuan and Mu Qinting sat in the corner without saying a word.

Li Shaowei glanced at everyone present, put away the smile on his face, and said seriously, "What Deputy General Mu said is true. They suffered a great loss today. After returning tonight, they must find a way to get back at him.

Tomorrow's battle may be difficult to fight, so we should pool our wisdom and think of more solutions.

If we delay until tomorrow, our reinforcements may arrive."

Mu Qinxuan stood up listlessly. "General, we've used up all the supplies we prepared today. This place is too far from the city ahead, so it's unlikely we'll be able to buy more. We'll have to fight hard tomorrow."

Li Shaowei looked at everyone firmly.

"Let's have a good meal today, brothers. Tomorrow, let's work hard. Even if we have to fight to the last man, we must hold on until reinforcements arrive. We can't let them set foot in our Great Yan."

Dinner this evening.

All the soldiers walked out of the military tent, some squatting, some sitting, ten people forming a circle, with two large basins placed in the middle of them, filled with large pieces of cooked pork, mutton and steamed buns.

Li Shaowei reached out and took a large piece of meat from the basin, waved it towards the soldiers and said, "Brothers, today we have thwarted the attack of the Nansang people. Congratulations.

Everyone eat well and have enough, and then fight to defend our country tomorrow.

The Nansang people won't be able to remain rampant for long. As long as we hold on for one more day, the emperor will arrive with reinforcements.

When the time comes, we will fight side by side with our Great Yan Emperor to defend Great Yan."

After saying this, he smiled and took a bite of the deliciously cooked meat.

"To protect our land from being trampled by the Nansang people, and to protect our wives, children, and elders from becoming slaves of a conquered nation. Brothers, let's fight the Nansang people!"

"Fight!"

“Fight, fight, fight…”

The soldiers followed suit, took the meat from the basin and waved it around.

The sound was sonorous and echoed for a long time.

The next day, at dawn, the Nansang people arrived at the city again.

Similarly, it started with a barrage of bows and arrows. The soldiers who were more skilled in martial arts spontaneously stood on the city wall and tried their best to sweep away the arrows.

Under the cover of a rain of arrows, the Nansang soldiers brought in ladders and battering rams.

The leaders were wearing fire-retardant gear. They climbed up the ladder, hunched over, and slowly climbed up. When they were about to approach the battlements of the city wall, they suddenly straightened up.

The soldiers guarding the battlements were well prepared and gave them a heavy blow the moment they showed their heads.

Someone was lucky and killed the soldiers guarding the battlements and climbed up the city wall, but was immediately surrounded and killed by the soldiers on the wall.

Yang Shian, who was standing guard at the back, saw someone climbing up and said happily, "The military advisor is indeed as good as a god. The people of Dayan really have run out of chili powder."

The military advisor's eyes kept scanning the soldiers climbing the ladders. Seeing that someone had climbed up again, he smiled with satisfaction...
