A nearby ladder was burning brightly, with thick smoke billowing, and then collapsed.
The Chu army under the city wall did not dodge in a hurry, and dozens of people were killed or injured.
The city wall is still in the hands of the defenders.
The Chu army seems to have given up using ladders to attack the city, and is preparing for the next round of arrow rain.
When Lu Cheng saw this, he quickly slipped down from the tower. He was not here to help defend the city.
The city wall was in a mess. When I got down from the city wall, I saw that the wall was riddled with holes.
Lu Cheng came to the street and took a look. The city gate was not much better. It was a mess.
On the street, the doors of households are locked.
A group of Chu troops sneaked into the city through unknown means and tried to open the city gate.
The city gate defenders resisted with all their might, using crude weapons to fight against the lightly-armed Chu army.
The defenders who have been fighting for many days do not have an advantage in numbers, and their physical strength is even more exhausted. There is an obvious decline, and defeat is only a matter of time.
Suddenly, a whistling sound came from overhead.
Lu Cheng looked up and saw an object the size of an eagle flying down.
What is that?
Take a closer look and you will see that it is a unique wooden bird!
Mohist organ kite?
The Mo family is really in the city!
Lu Cheng was secretly happy that he had come to the right place.
Before I had time to think about it, a decisive change had already occurred on the battlefield. The iris flew past, and the iris sprayed long flames across the street, igniting the leather armor of the Chu army.
The vanguard of the Chu army instantly fell into a sea of fire...The leather clothes melted when they were caught in the fire, and the skin was instantly torn apart when it stuck to the body. Some soldiers rolled on the ground trying to extinguish the flames, and some were burned by the fire. They didn't care much and jumped deep into the well next to them.
.
Even when the Chu army helped his comrades put out the flames, he himself was unfortunately contaminated by the fire...
There were about 200 infantrymen from the Chu State who entered the city. Dozens of them were killed immediately by the air raid.
Lu Cheng was very curious, how does this thing fly? Is it scientific? Can he make this card in the future?
"It's Mo, spread out, spread out!"
The reaction of the remaining Chu troops was not unpleasant. Under the order, they quickly fled away, but the thatched roof of the nearby civilian house suddenly opened, followed by a hail of arrows.
What is this?
Mechanical crossbow?
The continuous crossbow fired at close range, the blood mist burst out, and the storm-like arrows caused the Chu army to suffer heavy losses in an instant.
Some of the arrows came towards Lu Cheng.
He subconsciously wanted to dodge, but soon realized that there was no need, he was now a ghost...
The arrow rain did not last long. It seemed that the quiver was empty, and the people on the grass roof were busy replacing it.
But the Chu army lost their fighting spirit and ran away in panic between the arrow cases of the crossbows.
This plan to sneak into the city and open the city gate undoubtedly ended in bankruptcy.
The Chu army escaped, and the defenders immediately cheered.
"Chase! Catch them!" the defenders shouted.
There was a rustling sound on the roof of the nearby house. Lu Chengxun looked around and found "straw men" crawling up from inside.
The leader is a grey-faced old man with a disheveled face and shabby and simple clothes.
"They can't escape, let's repair the city gate first!"
Most of the defenders were injured and exhausted, but when they heard the old man speak, they immediately took action.
Obviously the Mohist has a very high status here.
After the defenders left, dozens of "straw men" climbed down from the roof and began to clean the battlefield.
"Collect the crossbow arrows, you can still use them tomorrow!"
Lu Cheng stood aside. He knew some of the plot. There was no tomorrow for these people.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, Chu State was a well-deserved harvester of small countries. According to later statistics, among the seven heroes of the Warring States Period, Chu State had the largest number of annexed countries.
Many countries did not even have time to appear in history books, such as Nanjiang...
This group of Mohists considered the people of Nanjiang and were invited to help Nanjiang defend the city.
For more than twenty days, the Mohists won the hearts of the people at first. However, as the city was besieged and lacked water and food, some people and officials in the city no longer wanted to resist. Instead, they believed that the deep suffering was caused by the Mohists...
..As long as they surrender, the Chu people might treat them well.
Just tonight, the Chu army cooperated with the inside and outside of the city and captured the city. No one of the thirty-nine Mohists escaped, and they were all killed. The youngest was only 14 years old!
Youdu is relatively humane and will inform Yinza of a small part of the results of the Book of Life and Death deduction to prevent Yinza from getting injured at work.
However, Youdu strictly ordered that Yin agents should not interfere with the direction of the human world when handling cases, otherwise they would be punished depending on the severity.
The lighter case will be fined, and the serious case will be thrown away.
Lu Cheng wanted to know what kind of punishment they would receive if he informed them of their fate now.
Before he could speak, a prompt came in his mind.
[This is an act of interference and you will be detained for three years and removed from your post.]
This is not possible!
What if I secretly kidnap this old man who looks the best?
[This is an act of interference and you will be detained for one year and fined for two years]
No...
Then what if I call out the Red Clothes Laibo Killing Feast here?
[This may result in your execution]
.......
Lu Cheng is a smart man. After trying it several times, he finally understood that this punishment reminder was not a warning at all, but... an inducement!
When Yin Chai is in the human world, he can completely violate the rules and obtain benefits if the punishment conditions are acceptable!
That’s how it works!
In fact, it’s normal. Think about the fact that the civil servants in Youdu are paid a dead salary every month, and their bosses basically get nothing. If they don’t come up with something themselves, how can they have the passion for work?
Lu Cheng thought back to his boss, who wasted no time in killing the evil spirit in the city. Wasn't he also breaking the rules?
Going a step further, [Yin Yang Ferryman] committed a serious violation in order to take away Lu Cheng's energy. He was imprisoned for three years and was immediately downgraded to [River Patrolling Yin Er] after he was released. It is estimated that he is still eating prison food.
.
This violation of regulations is a traditional performance in Youdu!
Lu Cheng glanced at the Mohists who were cleaning the battlefield.
They were discussing something in low voices.
"Ji Li, we should leave. The city can't be defended anymore. If we leave now, we can use the machine kite to break out."
"But what will they do if we leave?" The old man's voice was a little tired, and he looked worriedly at the civilians who came out to fetch water during the war break.
"..."
"If we leave now, have we really tried our best?" The old man named Ji Li patted the hay on his body.
"Hey." The Mo family sighed softly and stopped making any sound, just silently collecting the crossbow arrows on the battlefield.
Of course Lu Cheng knew what was going on. The Chu army outside was not a heinous thug, at least not this time. There was no massacre after the city fell, but the Mo family in front of him came here at the invitation of Nanjiang and were sold in the end. It was too miserable.
Click.
If they knew that this would be the final result, they would definitely run away immediately, and maybe even help the Chu people open the city gate...
Lu Cheng can't change their fate...
This Mohist named Ji Li seems to be the leader. He must have what he wants. How can he achieve it?
