Dapeng's Time Travel Life

The border was shrouded in sandstorms, like surging yellow waves, blurring the distant horizon. Zhang Peng stood on the city wall, gazing at the enemy army pressing in like dark clouds, his eyes revealing unwavering resolve. The wind howled, and the military flags fluttered wildly in the wind, as if cheering on the impending battle.

"General, the enemy is coming on strong, and their strength is several times that of us. How should we deal with them?" Lieutenant Li Ming's voice sounded anxious in the wind.

Zhang Peng narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze sweeping over the soldiers standing guard below the city wall. Their faces were filled with tension and anticipation, but not a single one flinched. "Although we are outnumbered, we have the advantage of terrain and high morale. The enemy has come from afar and must be exhausted. We will hold the city wall first, wear down their morale, and then look for an opportunity to counterattack."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than the enemy's vanguard arrived at the foot of the city wall. Pushing their massive siege engines, they advanced step by step like ferocious steel behemoths. The soldiers on the city wall immediately drew their bowstrings and aimed their arrows at the enemy.

"Loose the arrows!" Zhang Peng commanded, and a volley of arrows rained down on the enemy. The enemy soldiers raised their shields to defend themselves, but many were still struck by arrows and fell to the ground. However, they did not retreat and continued to advance their siege equipment.

The massive battering ram pounded heavily against the city gate, producing a dull thud that made the walls tremble with each impact. Soldiers on the walls hurled logs and stones at the enemy, and for a moment, shouts of battle and the clashing of weapons mingled together in a deafening roar.

"General, the enemy's offensive is too fierce, and the city gates probably won't hold for long!" a soldier shouted anxiously.

Zhang Peng frowned. He knew they couldn't continue this passive defense. "Pass down the order: prepare oil. Light it when the enemy gets close!"

The soldiers quickly pushed the prepared oil barrels to the city wall, waiting for the enemy to approach. As the enemy's siege equipment drew near the wall, Zhang Peng shouted, "Light the fire!"

The soldiers immediately threw lit torches at the oil barrels, and instantly, oil splattered everywhere, igniting a raging fire that engulfed the enemy's siege equipment and soldiers. The enemy's formation was thrown into chaos, and they retreated in disarray.

"Well done!" Zhang Peng shouted, and the soldiers' morale soared. However, the enemy quickly adjusted their tactics, sending out elite troops to scale the city walls using ladders.

On the city wall, a fierce hand-to-hand battle ensued. Enemy soldiers, fearless and relentless, charged forward. Zhang Peng, wielding a long spear, personally led the charge, fighting the enemy. His spearmanship was swift and deadly; each thrust carried fatal force, and enemy soldiers fell one after another before him.

"General, be careful!" Li Ming suddenly cried out. Zhang Peng dodged to the side, avoiding a sneak attack from an enemy soldier. He then swung his spear, knocking the soldier off the city wall.

The battle intensified, and casualties among the soldiers on the city wall gradually increased. Zhang Peng was extremely anxious; he knew that if things continued like this, the city wall would be breached sooner or later. Just then, he suddenly heard the familiar sound of horses' hooves.

It turned out to be the tribal warriors who had previously retreated. Upon learning that Zhang Peng and his men were in trouble, they resolutely returned to provide support. "General Zhang, we've come to help you!" The tribal chief's voice rang out on the battlefield.

Zhang Peng was overjoyed: "Alright, brothers, let's kill them all!"

The tribal warriors charged into the enemy ranks like tigers, forming a pincer movement with the soldiers on the city walls. The enemy, attacked from both sides, finally began to waver.

"The enemy is in disarray! Launch a full-scale counterattack!" Zhang Peng seized the opportunity and shouted loudly. Encouraged, the soldiers and tribal warriors were in high spirits and launched a fierce attack on the enemy.

With everyone working together, the enemy was finally completely defeated. On the battlefield, smoke filled the air, limbs and severed bodies lay scattered everywhere, and blood stained the earth. Zhang Peng watched the retreating enemy, let out a long sigh of relief, and his tense nerves finally relaxed.

They paid a heavy price in this battle, but ultimately won. Zhang Peng knew this was only a temporary victory; foreign forces would not give up easily, and more challenges awaited them in the future. However, he firmly believed that as long as everyone united, they would be able to protect this land and safeguard peace on the border.
