Chapter 221: Chapter 221

Pei Shu’er’s arrow was very accurate, and with the addition of the Spiritual Spring Water, it was also very powerful.

Just as she was about to hit Tao Mingxuan, he was pulled away by a commander.

Pei Shu’er continued to draw arrows and shoot; she shot all the way, while the commander led Tao Mingxuan to dodge in embarrassment.

Just as they were about to enter the sedan chair, Pei Shu’er finally hit Tao Mingxuan, but it only hit his arm.

Tao Mingxuan suddenly turned around, and Pei Shu’er slightly parted her red lips, mouthing "You’re welcome."

Tao Mingxuan’s eyes looked viciously at Pei Shu’er, as if he wanted to tear her apart.

Pei Shu’er didn’t care; after strapping the bow and arrows onto her back, she stood aside and commanded the soldiers to shoot.

At this moment, the catapult, due to continuous use, had some parts severely worn.

But it could still launch one or two more times.

Now that the other side’s catapult was gone, they couldn’t threaten the people on the city walls anymore.

Except for those attackers climbing the walls.

These people were beyond what Pei Shu’er could handle, and General Zhao had already made arrangements for them.

Pei Shu’er led her soldiers to the city gate and lined up the catapults neatly in a row.

The Dazi saw these catapults and slowed down their actions, actually daring not to attack anymore.

But soon someone came to report.

"The think tank says to continue the attack and there will be great rewards if you catch the one in pink."

As soon as these words were spoken, the Dazi immediately attacked.

Pei Shu’er’s eyes were filled with ruthlessness, and the grudge between her and Tao Mingxuan was completely irreconcilable.

Pei Shu’er said no more and aimed the catapult directly at the city gate.

"Aim for the arch and launch."

Seeing Pei Shu’er , everyone was shocked, and the other commanders hurried over to stop her.

"Are you crazy? Doing this will make all the city walls collapse."

The soldiers were also hesitant, not daring to throw the stones.

If the city wall collapsed, everyone would be doomed.

But Pei Shu’er’s expression was exceptionally calm.

"Throw them. If the city wall collapses, I will take all the blame."

The others were still trying to stop her, but Tang Zan interrupted them.

"Listen to her. If something happens, I’ll take responsibility."

He had seen this city wall, the lower part was built by Commander Qian and wasn’t very sturdy.

But the upper part was built by Pei Shu’er, and its structure was completely different from the lower part.

She had the soldiers bombard the city gate with several giant stones, causing half of the archway above the gate to collapse.

The Dazi below were all buried by the falling bricks, and the archway was thoroughly blocked, preventing the Dazi from coming in.

And what everyone thought was that the city wall would collapse, but it didn’t. The city wall still stood tall.

Pei Shu’er had great confidence in the city wall she built, and she chose the aiming point very well.

As she launched the giant stones, they killed a few Dazi at most but did not cut off the Dazi’s way in.

Moreover, she chose the timing very well, right when the Dazi’s catapults were broken.

Otherwise, the Dazi might have fired a few more stones at the city wall, tearing it down completely.

General Zhao looked at the devastation outside, and then at the Dazi hovering at the city gate, his face couldn’t help but break into a smile.

This was one of the few victories they’ve had against the Dazi.

And it was a siege defense victory. In the past, they always turned defense into offense, with Lin Zhi leading the breakout.

But the soldiers under Lin Zhi were too weak, not keeping up with him, forcing him to adjust his tactics and attack rhythm.

However, this grand victory was indeed the first.

In this war, over a thousand Dazi were killed or wounded.

While in the Gulan Military Camp, only about eight hundred were killed or wounded.

Among them, more than five hundred people were injured, and except for those seriously injured, the rest had the possibility of recovery.

But for the Dazi, several hundred were buried beneath these blue bricks and giant stones, with no chance of healing.

Even if they got out, they would be captured and interrogated by the Gulan Military Camp.

At this time, the sound of retreat horns came from the Dazi’s side, and they withdrew their troops.

Soldiers shouted loudly, then hugged and cried tears of joy.

"The Dazi have retreated, that’s great!"

The people on the city walls were cheering; they hadn’t felt this proud in a long time!

Commander Qian, having finally found a mistake, was about to cause trouble for Pei Shu’er, but General Zhao directly commended Pei Shu’er.

"This victory in the war is mainly thanks to Pei Shu’er. It’s because of your decisiveness and bravery that we were able to win."

Pei Shu’er said, "It’s thanks to the joint efforts of the soldiers that we achieved this victory."

General Zhao waved his hand, knowing the situation better than anyone else.

In the Gulan Military Camp, every leader had their own agenda. Talk of unity was just a joke.

And the catapults made by Pei Shu’er indeed contributed significantly.

So he decided that they must quickly mass-produce these catapults.

However, these catapults probably still needed to be supervised by Pei Shu’er.

Now that things had relaxed, Pei Shu’er was also somewhat exhausted.

The effect of the Spiritual Spring Water manifested.

As she opened her mouth to speak, her body suddenly went soft and she collapsed.

Tang Zan quickly caught her, a hint of tension in his eyes, as he nervously checked Pei Shu’er’s breathing.

Upon finding her breathing steady, he let out a long sigh of relief.

General Zhao said, "She has had too little rest recently; she must be exhausted."

"General, I’ll take her back to the tent first," Tang Zan nodded and then took Pei Shu’er back to his tent.

The advantage of being in command of a thousand households was having a private tent, albeit small, it provided privacy.

He placed Pei Shu’er on the bed.

As he was about to leave, he felt Pei Shu’er tug at his sleeve.

Then Pei Shu’er clung to him; dazed, she only knew that holding this person meant she wouldn’t hurt anymore.

And he gave her a sense of peace.

Tang Zan’s initially hard heart instantly melted.

He patted Pei Shu’er’s head, removed his clothes, and lay down beside her.

Pei Shu’er, like a kitten, rolled into his arms and fell into a deep sleep.

Her hand remained wrapped around his waist.

It wasn’t until the sun was high in the sky that Pei Shu’er woke up.

Upon waking, she saw Tang Zan’s handsome face.

Tang Zan was still sleeping with his eyes closed, seemingly quite deep, with his long lashes covering his sharp eyes, his sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, a nose as prominent as if sculpted.

Indeed, it was an extraordinarily handsome image.

After being visually stunned by his beauty, she quickly regained her composure.

Her hand was pressed against Tang Zan’s chest, and her long hair fell down.

And brushed against Tang Zan’s cheek. Chapters first released on novel fire.net

Tang Zan opened his eyes and saw Pei Shu’er in front of him.

He turned over and pinned Pei Shu’er beneath him.
