9、Die for Zhuo County

  "Ah, it's the battering ram." Sun Yu hastily picked up his hunting bow and used the martial general skill "Bullseye", consecutively knocking down four or five soldiers carrying the giant log. However, the Wuhuan army was too powerful, and for every soldier that fell, another one took their place. It was impossible for Sun Yu to stop the battering ram from approaching the city gate with just his arrows.

  "Prepare the boiling oil and fire bricks!" Sun Yu looked at the approaching battering ram and hastily gave the order.

  He finished giving the order and turned his head to look, the soldiers had already prepared the oil pots and fire bricks. It was he himself who gave unnecessary instructions, it turned out that the war in this world had its own system. There were many attacking and defensive methods that became routine, you made one move and I made another, without needing a commander's orders, the soldiers knew how to use the corresponding countermeasures on their own.

  In fact, this is also true. In the era without telephones and wireless communication, commands on the battlefield could not be transmitted to soldiers' ears in an instant. Therefore, most soldiers would fight according to pre-trained procedures, which did not require commanders to give very detailed instructions. This was also why tens of thousands of troops collapsed as soon as they were defeated - their commanders couldn't keep up with them. When it comes to fighting, who the hell listens to your command?

  No wonder the Three Kingdoms era was popular with fighting generals, and the generals were useless anyway. The generals fought against each other, the soldiers fought against each other, as long as the commander's flag was still there, the morale wouldn't collapse, Sun Yu wiped his sweat.

  Wuwan's battering ram quickly rushed to the gate, and the militiamen on the city wall poured down boiling oil and threw fire bricks, immediately igniting a fierce fire in front of the gate. Two battering rams were splashed with oil and caught fire, forcing Wuwan's soldiers to abandon them and protect the other battering rams as they advanced forward.

  The cavalry surrounded the drum tower, shooting arrows continuously to suppress the militiamen who were pouring oil on the city head. Due to the large number of Wuhuan cavalry and their proficiency in archery, the city gate was suddenly filled with arrows like flying locusts, and the militiamen holding the oil pots were instantly shot dead on the city head. Another group of militiamen rushed up to grab the oil pot and pour it down towards the city below, and both sides began to contend for the fire point on the city head.

  Although the Zhuo County militia had the geographical advantage, the difference in troop quality was too great and the number of soldiers was also vastly different. The walls of Zhuo County were low and the gates were thin and could not withstand a collision, so the situation became tense immediately.

  "Master, according to calculations, the city gate won't hold out. It will be broken through in approximately 43 minutes and 32 seconds."

  Once the city gate is broken, Zhuo County will inevitably fall.

  Sun Yu responded with a low "en", thinking to himself, I originally had a terminal illness and only had ten years of life left, but unexpectedly I won't even get the chance to live those ten years, and will die prematurely in this place. Forget it, whether you die early or late, you're still dead, might as well be a hero before dying.

  "Come on, let's go behind the city gate! Defend the gate to the death! Even if we die, we must die with some dignity!"

  A group of Han soldiers all showed a desperate look, in this era once the city of the Hans was attacked by the northern minorities, men were usually killed or captured as slaves, while women were taken by the Hu people as female slaves, their fate extremely tragic.

  All four gates were surrounded, and escape was impossible. Sun Yu said in a loud voice: "Brothers, let's go to the back of the city gate and wait. As soon as the city gate is broken, we will fight to the death and kill the enemy. We would rather die at the city gate than lose our dignity."

  The Han soldiers and the local braves in the city all showed a determination to die, anyway can't escape, just do it, kill one to break even, kill two to make a profit, anyway, at this point, fear is useless.

  Four or five hundred Han soldiers and local militiamen stood by Sun Yu's side, of course, behind Sun Yu was a small oil bottle Zhao Yun.

  "Zi Long, I might be dead soon." Sun Yu sighed and said: "You'd better find a hole to hide in yourself, a little girl like you might be able to survive."

  "Die!" A look of terror appeared on Zhao Yun's face: "Don't die, I don't want to die!"

  "Quickly go and hide!" Sun Yu stroked her pale little face.

  "Don't... hide... even if you come out again, you'll still starve to death." Zhao Yun's face was full of tears: "Don't, I don't want to die, Master doesn't want to die either!"

  Sun Yu let out a sigh, picked up a bamboo long spear from the ground and handed it to Zhao Yun's hands, saying in a low voice: "Take it, if you don't want to die, fight now. Everyone must fight now. You are Zhao Yun, the General of Changshan, you have the talent of a general, as long as you want to fight, maybe you can survive."

  Sun Yu's heart suddenly rose with a thread of curiosity, in the history of my world, there is a legendary Changshan Zhao Zilong, could it be that he really doesn't have any combat power in this world? I don't believe it! She must have martial skills, she just can't use them now, it's precisely because I firmly believe in this point that I brought her with me.

  But at her tender age, with a frail body, it's clear she hasn't grown up yet. Could it be that she's still underage and can't exert herself? This is entirely possible. Perhaps my arrival has dragged the immature Zhao Yun into danger and to his death, and from now on there will no longer be the majestic General Zhao Zilong of Changshan.

  At this moment, the giant tree crashed into the gate, again and again, with a loud crash that shattered people's souls. The thin city gate of Zhuo County let out a terrified creaking sound, and a large chunk had already been dented in it. It only needed to be crashed into a few more times before a big hole would be smashed open.

  Sun Yu took a deep breath and said to NM01: "Activate cell, Wu Jiang technique - Gigantic Strength."

  A faint red glow rose from Sun Yu's body, and he reached out to grab a massive warhammer. He swung it lightly in his hand, feeling extremely satisfied. With such strength... maybe he could break through the encirclement!

  With a loud crash, the battering ram slammed into the city gate for the last time, and the already battered gate finally couldn't withstand the shock, splitting into pieces of wood with a cracking sound. The gate was broken...

  "Kill them all! Kill every last one of them!" The Umar cavalry let out a thunderous roar, and large numbers of horsemen surged towards the city gate.

  Suddenly, a red light flashed at the city gate, Sun Yu held a giant hammer, with the words "Giant Power" shining on his head, he led the charge and rushed out of Zhuo County with his troops. Beside him was little Zhao Yun tightly following with a bamboo spear.

  Sun Yu swung his giant hammer, and four or five Wuhuan soldiers closest to him were immediately knocked flying, along with their horses, turned into minced meat. Behind them, layer upon layer, countless Wuhuan soldiers rushed up again, fighting Sun Yu's 400-500 militiamen for control of the city gate.

  "Wow, isn't this man's martial art supposed to be 'unerring'?" Wu Wan Jun and the Zhao Xian village braves exclaimed in unison.

  "He knows two martial arts techniques!" Zhang Chun was shocked, and without noticing the wound on his shoulder, he suddenly stood up: "Pass down my order, capture him alive, we must dissect him to see what makes him different."

  Countless Wuhuan cavalrymen charged towards the city gate, Sun Yu led his troops in a bitter fight. These militia could barely counter the enemy with the help of the city wall when defending the city, but now on flat ground, they were suddenly shorter than the Wuhuan people by a head. Under the slashing of the Wuhuan cavalry's sabers, the number of soldiers led by Sun Yu quickly decreased.

  A steel blade wielded by a Ulan cavalryman was swung towards Zhao Yun behind him, and Sun Yu raised his hammer to smash the cavalryman into minced meat. Sun Yu continued to swing his large hammer and knocked down twenty or so more Ulan soldiers, but he also started to feel numbness in his arm.

  He didn't know if the warriors of this world would get tired from using martial techniques, but he knew that the power brought by cellular activation would be consumed over time and it was impossible to keep fighting non-stop.

  Moreover, he also had to divert his attention to protect Zhao Yun behind him, a single effort became double, it was really cumbersome and unable to exert himself.

  "Zhao Zilong, fight!" Sun Yu struck and knocked a Wuman soldier flying, shouting loudly: "If you don't fight, you'll die!"

  "I... fight..." Zhao Yun's entire body was shaking violently: "I cannot fight... I will not fight... Death, I don't want to die... but I don't know how to fight."

  Someone else swung a sword at Zhao Yun, and Sun Yu turned around and struck the steel knife flying with one hammer. Alas, perhaps her age really didn't reach the age of using Wu Jiang's skills, Sun Yu sighed in his heart: It seems that I have implicated her to die here, and there will be no Changshan Zhao Zilong on Mount Dingjun in the future.
