With no way to retreat, Zhou Pengfei and his soldiers were like ferocious beasts, eager to rush into Hubei City and devour the people here.
Zhou Pengfei is also quite capable.
Under such circumstances, he actually made the morale of the soldiers so high.
But that's right, they have no other choice but to make a desperate move.
There were shouts of fighting and killing from the direction of the city gate. Soldiers came to the ground one after another. New soldiers entered the battle, and the injured ones retreated for treatment.
Mu Siyu stood on the city wall and made a gesture.
A large number of stones were thrown from the mechanism.
This is a mechanism that Mu Siyu spent a lot of time designing.
It didn't work last time because we didn't know the opponent's details the first time we faced each other. Now that we know each other thoroughly, there's no need to be polite. We can just activate the mechanism and smash each one to death.
When they climbed up the city wall with a ladder, they saw a liquid flowing out of the city wall. As soon as they touched the liquid, their skin suddenly ulcerated.
"ah……"
After a while, the liquid disappeared and turned into a sharp blade again.
In fact, it doesn’t count as a blade. After all, how can there be so much iron stone for them to make iron tools?
Some of them are blades made from discarded utensils, and some are sharpened bamboo slices.
Zhou Pengfei looked at the scene in front of him and cursed angrily: "If someone named Mu has the ability to fight alone, how can he only use despicable means?"
Mu Siyu gave him a straight look.
He is also embarrassed!
A strong military general actually made a move to a weak woman, wouldn't he be afraid of becoming the laughing stock of the world?
Oh, he should be a laughing stock by now.
"Withdraw!" No matter how unwilling Zhou Pengfei was, he had no choice but to withdraw his troops at this time.
I have long heard that Mrs. Lu knows the art of mechanism, but no one takes her seriously. In everyone's opinion, what can a woman know? The so-called 'understanding' is only superficial. The world is just trying to please her, deliberately saying
Just a few nice words to compliment her.
Only today did Zhou Pengfei realize a truth - never underestimate a woman.
The rebels ran away in despair again.
The soldiers of Hubei City stood on the city wall and cheered.
There is nothing more fulfilling than protecting your homeland now.
Li Guyuan said: "Master, I want to learn the art of mechanism from you."
Mu Siyu said calmly: "This is the reason why I accepted you. I have many apprentices. They learn furniture making and warship design from me, but they can only learn the basics. They can also master the most agile kites."
I can't figure it out. I see that you have a flexible mind, and I think you should be a good talent. Of course, the most important thing is that I find someone to inherit the mantle in the future. Otherwise, who can take care of what happens in the amusement park? And mine.
Other industries need to be managed by someone."
She has no shortage of available people now, but there is no problem with these people acting as assistants. No one can do it alone.
"I will definitely learn from Master."
"Gu Yuan, do you like Hubei City?" Mu Siyu asked.
Li Guyuan said: "It didn't matter before. As long as I can make money, I can go anywhere. Now I think this is the best place in the world."
"After this disaster, Hubei City will be better off." Mu Siyu said, "The people here are more united than the people in the capital. I believe that one day, the people will work hard to become residents of Hubei City."
"It seems that I have to save money to buy a house, and buy more, so that I can make money." Li Guyuan murmured to himself.
Mu Siyu: "..."
Thinking so fast.
He is indeed the disciple she has taken a liking to.
This war was fought with passion.
The wounded are almost not counted, and even if there are wounded, they are only minor injuries.
The doctors quickly bandaged the wounded and sent them back to rest.
Rebel barracks. Zhou Pengfei sat on a chair in defeat, like a lost dog that had been beaten to the point of being unable to fight back.
"Sir, what should we do now?"
"How many more of us..." Zhou Pengfei asked tiredly.
"I just did a count and there are 23,752 people left."
"How can this be all that's left?"
"Some of them became deserters and took advantage of the chaos on the battlefield to escape."
"hateful!"
"Sir, when will he arrive? If we don't arrive, we will starve to death even if we are not killed. We have just experienced such a fierce battle, and we don't even have anything to eat."
"Find a way to get food."
"How?"
"Those villagers only dare to hide, but the things in their fields won't hide, right?"
"Yes, I will arrange someone to do it immediately."
Zhou Pengfei grabbed his hair and looked at the map on the wall with red eyes.
I was so high-spirited when I first came here, but now I am so embarrassed.
The rebels were angry and robbed the people's crops in the fields. Holding in their anger, they not only pulled up the vegetables, but also destroyed them in their fields, as if this could relieve their hatred.
There was a lot of prey on the mountain, so they arranged for a group of people to go hunting on the mountain.
At dinner that day, they counted the number of people again, and found that there were more than a hundred people missing.
Needless to say, these more than 100 people either died at the hands of the people or became deserters.
The soldiers sat around the stove.
They all have wounds on their bodies.
Some were sword wounds, some were arrow wounds, some were caused by various hidden weapons or barbs or spikes on the walls, and some were rotted by corrosive liquids.
But even so, apart from bandaging it with cloth strips, they had no medicine to use.
At night, when the soldiers had just fallen asleep, they heard something vaguely.
It's like singing.
Soldiers walked out of the tent one after another and looked in the direction of Hubei City.
The singing came from Hubei City.
"It's a folk song from our Tongyang City." said a soldier.
"I heard that many of our brothers have become their prisoners, this song..."
"Can we really go back alive? I heard that the lady in Hubei City is extremely resourceful and is also good at mechanism skills."
"Anyone who disturbs the morale of the army here will be pulled down and beaten to death with sticks." Zhou Pengfei walked over angrily.
The soldiers quickly retreated to their tents.
Early the next morning, the official responsible for statistics reported the new figures to Zhou Pengfei.
"There were more than two hundred people missing last night?"
"Yes." The official said tremblingly, "I already sent people to guard the place, but somehow I let them run away."
Zhou Pengfei slapped the table angrily: "As soldiers, it is really unforgivable for them to escape from the battlefield. If any deserters are found again, they will all be killed without mercy."
"Sir..." the deputy general ran in, "Sir, our reinforcements have arrived."
Zhou Pengfei was overjoyed: "Where are you now?"
"We will be able to reach us in about a quarter of an hour." The deputy general was excited, "We are saved."
