Shangguan Wan had been living in the district headquarters for a while. Jiang Pengji originally wanted to arrange a two-level house for her, but she felt that she should not receive a reward without doing anything. She would only receive a reward after she had accumulated a certain amount of experience in the district headquarters. Otherwise, she would be dissatisfied and be criticized by others.
Jiang Pengji knew Shangguan Wan's stubbornness, so she did not insist.
It was good for her to live in the district headquarters. At least no one dared to ignore Shangguan Wan. The girls in the government office dared not belittle or neglect her.
With her background, she got the hang of the work in the government office quickly. The girls gradually admired her and acknowledged her as their superior.
Because the army took many talents with them, the pressure in the government office suddenly increased. Shangguan Wan was busy until the fourth watch before she finished her work.
She washed her face with the cold well water to wash away her sleepiness. She was barely awake.
The Tsing Yi Army attacked wantonly. The soldiers were defending outside the city. Shangguan Wan was very worried, but she could not help much. She could only do the work at hand and try her best to reduce the administrative work. She planned to go back to her room to rest for a while. As she walked, she gently beat the sore spot on her neck with her fist.
Halfway there, her sharp eyes saw a black shadow quickly drifting across the corridor, and her heart suddenly leaped into her throat.
"Who's there!" Shangguan Wan secretly pulled out the short knife from her waist and looked in that direction vigilantly.
After a while, the black shadow stopped and said to her, "Oh, it's Lady Shangguan."
This voice … Isn't it Sister Lanting's maid, Taxue?
Her tense nerves relaxed. Shangguan Wan sighed and said, "Oh, it's Sister Taxue. You scared me."
She went forward and said, "Sister, are you getting up at night? Why didn't you light the lamp? It would be bad if you tripped because you couldn't see clearly. "
Shangguan Wan opened the paper and found that Taxue was still carrying a lamp. She helped Taxue light the lamp.
She knew it. How could she not light the lamp when she woke up in the middle of the night? It was probably blown out by the strong night wind.
"Thank you, Lady Shangguan," Taxue said gently. "Did you just come back from the government office?"
"Yes, there are too many trivial things in the government office. But thinking of the chaos outside, these things have become sweet burdens. " Shangguan Wan felt that she had found a new self. Whether it was her job in the government office or practicing martial arts to strengthen her body, she was full of motivation and vitality.
Taxue was still gentle. She held the lantern and said, "It's dark outside. Lady Shangguan, go back to your room and rest. You still have work to do tomorrow."
Shangguan Wan's room was very close. She declined Taxue's attempt to give her the lantern, waved her hand, and returned to her room while yawning.
Taxue stood rooted to the ground for a long time. It was not until Shangguan Wan opened the door and lit the candle in the room that she revealed a strange smile.
She turned her back to Shangguan Wan's room, raised her hand to the side of the lantern, and gently blew on the candle inside, extinguishing the flame inside.
If Shangguan Wan had looked more carefully and focused, she would probably have noticed Taxue's abnormality.
The clothes she wore on the outside were obviously much larger and did not seem to fit her body properly. The lapels of her clothes were grayish-brown in color.
Taxue quietly left the district headquarters and took off her clothes, revealing her grayish-brown clothes.
This was the uniform of the female battalion.
She folded up her outer clothes and placed them in a corner of the alley.
She stood rooted to the ground for a while. She looked at the west and north gates in the distance, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes.
After a long time, her figure disappeared into the darkness and shadows. She did not go to the west and north gates, but to the south gate!
At the moment, the battle on Feng Jin's side had already entered a state of bloodthirst.
Occasionally, one or two members of the Tsing Yi Army would climb up the city walls. The soldiers would also work together to smack them down with their heavy shields.
There were already several piles of corpses at the foot of the city walls. The Tsing Yi Army stepped on their corpses and climbed up, getting closer and closer to the city walls.
Below them, the frequency of hitting the city gates became faster and faster. Every time they hit, a layer of wall dust would fall. Dozens of cracks had already appeared on the sturdy city gates. It looked like it was about to be smashed. General Pingtian secretly gritted his teeth. Is this gate made of copper and iron?
It's already so rotten, but it still hasn't been knocked open?
Finally, when the Tsing Yi Army was about to exhaust their strength, the city gates that could not bear the burden were finally scrapped.
However, what blocked their way was a thick brick wall made of solid green bricks!
There was no one behind the city gates to stop them. A group of soldiers were using green bricks to block the entrance.
"F * ck you!" General Pingtian could not help but curse when he saw the situation.
On the city walls, Feng Jin ordered someone to bring the Wolf's Fang Slap over. He planned to teach the Tsing Yi Army a lesson.
Luoyue had already rushed to the south gate to guard. It was estimated that another group of Tsing Yi Army would arrive soon.
"Bring the Wolf's Fang Slap!"
Feng Jin's voice was already hoarse. Even though he tried his best to shout loudly, he seemed especially weak in the midst of the battle cries.
What was the Wolf's Fang Slap?
It was a rectangular object that was slightly flat. The surface was covered with sharp, thick, and long iron nails that were like wolf's teeth. There were buckles at the four corners, and they were hooked to the city walls with sliding ropes and pulleys. If the enemy intended to climb the city walls to attack, they could use the Wolf's Fang Slap to hit them.
With one slap, there would be dozens of bloody holes on the body.
There were still plenty of weapons to defend the city, but the Tsing Yi Army was already showing signs of defeat.
In particular, the Tsing Yi Army was filled with joy. They spent a lot of effort to break through the city gates, only to discover that the entrance had been blocked by countless neatly arranged green bricks. Breaking through them was no different than breaking through a city wall. That kind of feeling was simply terrible.
Initially, they thought that they would be able to attack and take them down very quickly. They never expected the other party to be so well-prepared and use all kinds of methods. General Pingtian was stunned. He never knew that defending a city could come up with so many tricks … Now, he was in a dilemma.
After fighting for nearly four hours, the Tsing Yi Army had lost many men. Occasionally, some soldiers on the city walls were injured due to carelessness.
They only had ladders and bows and arrows to attack the city, but the other party had ballistae, improved ballistae, wooden shields, and fire arrows …
If they were so capable, why were they holed up in the small Xiangyang District?
Why couldn't they just go straight to heaven?
General Pingtian was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He felt as if he had f * cked countless sows.
He originally thought that he was there to f * ck the world, but he didn't expect that he would end up being the one to f * ck the world instead.
After a while, the soldiers told Feng Jin that they had used up all the rocks and rolling logs, and there were not enough arrows in the quiver.
Feng Jin gritted his teeth as he watched the Tsing Yi Army gradually climb the city wall … Although they were killed, their numbers had obviously increased.
"Move the green bricks up!"
If there were not enough rocks, he would make up for the green bricks. He did not believe that he could not defeat the Tsing Yi Army.
"Yes!"
Elsewhere, at the south gate.
Luoyue hurried to the south gate and found that there was no special situation there. It was also the soldiers' turn to change shifts.
He asked the guards carefully, but he could not calm down.
