CHAPTER 475: CHAPTER 475: WEAK AND POWERLESS? NO, THEY WERE FAKING IT!

After he fed Yu Wenxiu this pill, Yu Wenxiu soon began sweating profusely, then quickly became dizzy and disoriented, constantly shaking his head, clearly out of sorts.

Soon, this person’s saliva was flowing freely, and he mumbled the address out.

"Anc...Ancient Forest."

By the Gulan River, there are plenty of forests, especially close to the side of the Dazi.

It’s summer now, so naturally, the forest is lush and green.

It’s a place that’s easy to defend and hard to attack.

If someone sets a trap there first, then people from other places won’t be able to get in.

Tang Peizhong’s eyes flashed with coldness.

"Men, tie them up and bring them with me."

The prison carts were still the existing ones from the Dazi.

After all, this was essentially an emptied camp now. Tang Peizhong left a hundred men behind to hide somewhere.

If there was any movement, they were to report immediately and persist until they would be discovered, then retreat.

A grand procession marched towards the Ancient Forest.

There are many paths leading to the Ancient Forest.

Part of the routes go through other forests, and another way is to go from the riverbank or take the water route.

But, that would be like being a target.

The riverbank is open, and the Ancient Forest is concealed.

So, Tang Peizhong opted to go through the other forests.

Moreover, the river near the Ancient Forest is not very wide, about fifty meters.

The Dazi could deal with the Gulan Military Camp using the Gulan River as a moat.

And the Gulan Military Camp could equally deal with the Dazi.

Furthermore, the Dazi’s terrain is low, likely making it more disadvantageous for them.

Tang Peizhong didn’t believe the Dazi were that foolish; since they acted this way, they must have a plan.

At this moment, on the Gulan City Wall, the Dazi had already scaled the walls, causing the Dayan Soldiers to retreat in defeat.

These people were smug; the Dayan Soldiers without earth bombs were still useless, right?

If they used earth bombs, it’s still worth seeing if they had the condition to do so.

Be aware, the power of earth bombs isn’t small; if used recklessly on the city wall, the wall itself might be damaged.

If the city wall is damaged, the good days for the Gulan Soldiers would end.

Everyone knows that the Gulan Military Camp relies on this city wall now.

Without this city wall, the Gulan Military Camp would’ve been trampled by their cavalry long ago.

The soldiers huddled into a corner tower in the front, and some archers futilely fired arrows at the Dazi.

Despite the Dazi’s strong physique, a portion of them indeed died or got injured each time, but the deaths facilitated the team’s advance.

And it was swift.

Even if soldiers had shields in front, what difference does it make; it still looks like they will be breached soon.

At this moment, Pei Shu’er returned to the camp under everyone’s cover; there wasn’t much she could do to help with the next steps.

Moreover, Tang Zan had already made his arrangements, and she at most could give some clever ideas, but the overall command still depended on Tang Zan.

The battle lasted a whole day and night, and by daytime, it had reached a boiling point.

Especially at the two border points.

After holding on for so long, Tang Zan looked exhausted, with dark circles under his eyes.

Pei Shu’er poured him tea made with Spiritual Spring Water.

"If you’re tired, why not lean back for a while."

After drinking, Tang Zan seemed much better.

"At this time, how could I possibly sleep?"

Thousands of soldiers are fighting desperately on the front line, and he couldn’t afford to make a single mistake in timing.

So, Tang Zan had the best view.

When all the Dazi stepped onto the wall, Tang Zan’s eyes glinted fiercely.

It’s now!

"Bomb them!"

With Tang Zan’s command, earth bombs began raining down on the Dazi from both borders.

The Dazi were clustered on the wall now.

Once bombs were thrown into the Dazi ranks, especially those in the middle, they had nowhere to retreat.

Some Dazi were even trampled to death.

And the quantity of earth bombs was many, densely packed, ensuring every Dazi’s location was accounted for.

Initially, the Dazi were just dizzy from the blasts.

But soon, as the earth bombs were thrown onto the wall like dumplings, those Dazi went from being dazed to being injured, and ultimately many died in waves.

The Khan’s face turned ugly.

"Rear becomes vanguard, retreat."

But how to retreat?

Below is a steep mountain road; moving quickly might fall off the cliff, and behind were earth bombs capable of killing.

Move slowly and people can get bombed to death.

Another earth bomb was thrown down, the city wall shook a few times, then eventually a section collapsed.

To be truthful, the wall collapsing only now was beyond everyone’s expectations.

Tang Zan thought not many bombs would be needed for the wall to collapse.

But collapsing is fine, with a ten-meter drop, these Dazi would still face death.

The Khan, Jing Ci Tao Mingxuan also thought it would collapse soon, so the Gulan Military Camp dared not bomb.

After all, they also had people hiding in ambush.

This city wall is a unit; if one part collapses, the other parts should logically follow.

But they didn’t, only the part with Dazi collapsed, while the closest turret stood alone.

Those soldiers went from being suppressed to fighting back.

And each shot was accurate.

Unlike earlier shameful performances.

Missed shots, not enough power?

No, they were acting!

Their aim was to lure the Dazi onto this section of the wall, let them kill crazily.

Thinking they could capture the Gulan Military Camp.

In fact, it’s not that simple.

Tang Zan had long anticipated that these Dazi wanted to attack the Gulan Military Camp, they could only start from these two spots.

As for direct assaults, that would merely be wasted effort.

With a grand total of sixty thousand soldiers, only thirty-five thousand managed to retreat, the others either bombed to death on the wall or trampled down, unable to descend.

Or buried by the collapsing wall.

These meticulous calculations, managing to escape was already utilizing considerable strength.

The thirty-five thousand who escaped were all injured, terribly wounded.

Tang Zan ordered, "Shoot them."

Rain of arrows fell on the Dazi camp, forcing them into the forests.

But these soldiers were already the most precise shooters and were specially trained, not something mere flesh could withstand.

At this time, Dazi from the Ancient Forest also attacked the wall.

These were new catapults.

Tao Mingxuan in the Dazi Camp, Pei Shu’er didn’t think a few numbers could stump Tao Mingxuan for long.

Tao Mingxuan’s eyes were cold-blooded.

"Fire."

Here, there were two thousand new catapults enough to attack a military camp, the difficulty wasn’t too high.

Yet Tao Mingxuan was still pale.

Their previous plan was, once the Gulan Military Camp and Dazi’s attack reached a boiling point, forcing out all the Gulan Soldiers.

Then the catapults would be used to hit accurately each time.

But neither Tao Mingxuan nor the Khan or Jing Ci anticipated the Gulan Military Camp had prepared so ruthlessly.
