As soon as Fan Chen moved, Jiang Pengji knew that the sneak attack from the rear had failed. Instead, they had lost a lot of troops.
"I wonder how the battle at Zhanjiang Pass is …"
Jiang Pengji was already covered in blood. She looked terrifying, but the blood belonged to the enemy. Not even a strand of her hair was missing.
There was a beep next to her ear. The old chief had sent her a private message.
Your Abba: "If you want to know what's going on over there, just use your spiritual realm. Don't tell me you're that weak. "
Jiang Pengji had transmigrated and changed into an ordinary person's body. It was understandable that her physical skills had declined, but it was not to the extent that her spiritual realm was weak.
"Liu Xi is an ordinary person. Excessive use of the spiritual realm will cause harm to this body. Besides, I haven't used it for years. I can't remember it now. " Jiang Pengji smiled awkwardly. Her smile was covered by blood. Sincerity could not be seen. Instead, there was a hint of ferocity. "It's not a good thing to be at ease for too long. I'm really worried that I won't be able to adapt to the pace of the federation in the future."
Although she said that, she still used her spiritual realm to take a look at the battle at Zhanjiang Pass.
The city gate was secure. It had not been lost. The enemy had not succeeded yet.
She quickly retracted it after taking a look.
At the same time …
Wei Ci looked in a certain direction outside Zhanjiang Pass. His eyes showed some confusion.
"Just now, just now I seemed to have sensed the lord … Was it an illusion?"
There were 150,000 enemies outside Zhanjiang Pass. Their battle cries shook the heavens. Flames soared into the sky and lit up the place until it was a city that never slept.
With the previous lesson, Wei Ci had brought enough troops and hundreds of catapults. The power of the siege was far greater than the previous time.
As the saying goes, soldiers with arms and water with earth. No matter how many catapults the enemy had, the city gate was still secure. It was just that the battle on the city wall was particularly fierce. The stench of kerosene stimulated everyone's nerves. In everyone's eyes, there was nothing else but the enemy.
Tonight, it was either the enemy or they who would die.
"What a tough bone to chew. He can still defend in this situation!"
The general of the Nie Camp looked at the city wall covered with ladders and ropes. His expression was full of malice and ferocity. His black eyes were reflected by the flames.
Wei Ci said, "Liu Xi's vigilance is far beyond our imagination."
If a sudden attack was launched, the defending side would not be prepared and would most likely be flustered.
According to Nie Liang's plan before his death, Jiang Pengji was confident that she would dispatch the army to pursue the bait they had thrown out. The garrison at Zhanjiang Pass would be greatly weakened. They took advantage of the night to attack the city, and the enemy hastily responded. Faced with the Nie family's army that went all out, even if Jiang Pengji's side could resist for a while, they would definitely not be able to defend Zhanjiang Pass. In order to protect themselves, they could only lead their troops to abandon the pass and retreat. The result was a huge disappointment.
Wei Long led his troops to attack Zhanjiang Pass. Although the enemy hastily responded to the battle, they did not immediately collapse. Reinforcements arrived just in time.
Jiang Pengji was far more cautious and meticulous than he and Nie Liang had imagined. She was clearly a twenty-two or twenty-three year old woman, but her way of doing things was more cautious and cunning than a forty-five year old man. She had already believed the news of Nie Jun's retreat, and in the end, she even ordered Zhanjiang Pass to be on high alert to prevent night attacks. He really didn't know whether he should say that she was "doing something superfluous" or praise her for being as cunning as a fox, treacherous and suspicious?
The general said fiercely, "So what if we're vigilant? We must pass this trial tonight! "
This time, Nie Jun was determined to take down Zhanjiang Pass. If they did not succeed this time, they did not know when the next opportunity would come.
"Of course, we must pass Zhanjiang Pass tonight."
No matter what price they had to pay!
Looking at the huge fireballs being hurled by the catapults onto the walls of Zhanjiang Pass, the battlements, and even the city gates, Wei Long's state of mind was extremely calm.
"That Shi Zhong is still somewhat useful."
Shi Zhong had been randomly slashed a few times by bandits with a hatchet. His right hand could not write for a short period of time. The wound on his cheek was too deep, causing his left eye to be completely blind. There was also an extremely long wound from his left shoulder to his collarbone. With such a serious injury, even if he had amazing willpower to copy and memorize the blueprint, his hands were not strong enough. He could not draw such a detailed blueprint at all. Since he could not draw, he thought of a plan and simply verbally explained.
He verbally improved the existing armaments, such as coating the stones of the catapults with a layer of kerosene and igniting them before they were hurled.
The lethality of fireballs and simple stones was not the same.
After Shi Zhong's improvements, the catapults did indeed cause great pressure to the pass.
Without Jiang Pengji, the godly archer, and due to the weather, the soldiers controlling the ballistae could not effectively destroy the enemy's catapults.
After such a long time, they had only destroyed four or five catapults. In desperation, Wei Ci could only order the catapults on the city walls to aim at the enemy's catapults. The efficiency was much higher than destroying the catapults with the ballistae. At the same time, they could also target the enemy's archers.
There was still a stalemate above and below the city walls. For the time being, Zhanjiang Pass was not in danger of being lost.
Jiang Pengji's side was much more relaxed. Even if the enemy outnumbered them, with her precise command, she could always make the enemy suffer losses.
Not only that, she also took the time to ask the old chief about it, lest she forgot about it after the war.
"I remember before the old chief retired, he once mentioned 'awakening.' What is that?"
You Abba: "You're still half-hearted in war. If your subordinates knew about this, how would they feel?"
"Don't change the topic!"
There was silence on the other side for a while, as if she had to rack her brains to think of a few sentences.
You Abba: "About this matter … Sigh, the child has no mother. It's a long story."
"Make the long story short!"
You Abba: "The current power system of the federation focuses on developing the limits of the human body. The key lies in the genes. Under normal circumstances, the genes of ordinary people will evolve with the development of inheritance from generation to generation. However, some geniuses can condense the evolution of hundreds or even thousands of years into a few short years. This is genetic unlocking — completely unlocking the shackles and exploding the limits of the human body. However, no one can answer how many genetic locks exist. Perhaps the end is the eternal life that all scientists dream of. "
Jiang Pengji frowned slightly.
You Abba: "I'm going off topic … The" awakening "I mentioned is essentially similar to genetic unlocking, but it's also different. The latter is to develop the potential of the human body, while the former is to trace back to the source and return to the ancestral inheritance. Why do you think the direct descendants of the Jiang family were attacked by the forces of the heavenly brain? Because the direct descendants of the Jiang family have an ancient bloodline! You are the last direct descendant, and at the same time, the only one who has the chance to awaken the ancestral power. This power is what the defector heavenly brain fears the most. Only you can completely kill it! "
"What if … I can't awaken?"
You Abba: "Die! The federation will be buried with you! Don't worry, I'll mail you the best coffin. "
"Heartless woman." Jiang Pengji curled her lips. "No — this body belongs to Liu Xi. How can I 'awaken'?"
You Abba: "The ancient bloodline of the Jiang family is rather special. It doesn't attach to the body, but to the soul."
Jiang Pengji lowered her eyes, as if remembering something.
"The Awakening thing can change hair color?"
