They stopped moving when they reached the 20 -kilometer mark. It was almost dark by then, so they set up camp there.
Zhang Yuanwu was not mistaken. That group of people was the team from Qing Kingdom. They looked like a large group of people, at least 100,000 people.
Pang Xin’s expression turned grave. “What should we do? Should we send someone over to investigate?”
Zhang Yuanwu nodded. “Tell the people to be careful. It doesn’t matter if they can’t get any information. Safety is the most important thing. If everything goes as expected, they will attack the city tomorrow. Tell the people below to keep a tight watch on the city. They can’t relax for even a moment.”
Zhang Yuanwu did not rest for the entire night and kept watching. He realized that the Qing troops had only rested for the first half of the night before they started to hurry on their journey in the second half. The troops were getting closer and closer, and by the time it was half-bright, they had already reached the city.
Zhang Yuanwu ordered loudly, “Do it!”
Hence, the soldiers on the city wall immediately took out arrows that were lit with fire and shot them down.
Both sides did not waste any words and immediately started fighting.
These arrows that had been quenched with fire had caused a lot of damage to the Qing army. Although they had blocked the arrows with their shields, they had also injured many people.
However, they were a team of more than 100,000 people, so it was not a big deal if some of their soldiers were hurt.
After a while, they began to divide the work. One team went to hit the gate, and the other team went to climb the wall.
“Flintstone!” Pang Xin shouted.
This time, the damage was much greater. Those who tried to climb up the city wall were all smashed down by the stones, and even those standing below were smashed down.
Pang Xin ordered his men to fire arrows at the people who were ramming the citv gate-
For a while, both sides were in a deadlock. The soldiers of Huan City occupied the high ground, which was to their advantage. They killed many soldiers of the Qing Kingdom, but there were only so many weapons in the city. The number of arrows was decreasing with each batch, so they had to use them sparingly.
As for the people of Qing Kingdom, although they could not take them down for the time being, as long as they retreated, the people of Huan City would not be able to hit them.
The general of Qing Kingdom sat on a horse three miles away, looking at the city tower of Huan City.
The subordinate frowned and asked, “General, what should we do? We can’t attack them for the time being, should we shoot them down with arrows? 𝙗𝒆𝒅𝒏𝙤𝒗𝒆𝙡.𝙤𝒓𝙜
The general laughed and said, “Theres no rush. Shooting arrows now is just giving them weapons. We’ll wait until they run out of weapons. Let’s not fight today. Let them come back. If we continue fighting, we’ll only increase our casualties.”
“Yes!” Zhang Yuanwu looked at the retreating enemy and asked, “Why are they retreating?
“They just want to exhaust our physical strength and weapons,” Pang Xin said in a deep voice. “There’s going to be a fight.”
Seeing the enemy retreating to a place five kilometers away to set up camp,
Zhang Yuanwu cursed in his heart. “The people of Qing are really cunning!’
Sure enough, in the next two days, the army of Qing Kingdom sent people to harass them from time to time. When the soldiers of Huan City started to fight, they started to escape. In this way, they did not hurt many people, but they were quite angry. Moreover, they were almost out of weapons.
“If we do this a few more times, we might not have enough weapons,” Zhang Yuanwu said worriedly.
The people of Qing Kingdom came in batches. They started to escape when the arrows were shot, but they came back not long after, which annoyed them.
The enemy was watching them outside, and they could not go out to pick up the arrows.
In the enemy’s camp, the subordinate laughed at the general sitting in the seat of honor and complimented, ‘General, this move is really brilliant! Let’s see how they fight when they’ve used up all their arrows!”
