Who would raise a villain as a wife?

He Yunjing immediately headed towards the city gate. The remaining Wu soldiers were guarding the gate. Some were shooting arrows at the enemy from the city tower, and some were pushing things to block the gate. What was more serious was that many generals of the army died in last night's battle. The army was now commanded by several young generals, and the situation was a bit chaotic.

He Yunjing ignored him and quickly climbed up the city wall, picked up the bow and arrow that had fallen on the ground, drew the bow and arrow, and aimed at a young general in front of the enemy formation.

The arrow flew out of the bowstring, streaking through the sky and piercing the young general's forehead, causing a temporary commotion in the northern army at the front, and even the soldiers on the city wall were stunned.

That should be a safe distance, a distance that a bow and arrow cannot reach, yet he managed to hit the target, and with such accuracy?!

Sensing the danger, the enemy's advance troops immediately put up their shields and retreated, fearing another surprise attack.

When two armies are fighting, the most chaotic thing is when the general is killed. After all, the soldiers under his command all rely on the general, and once the rhythm is disrupted, it is difficult to get it back on track.

He Yunjing recognized this point and set up the shooting again, specifically targeting those who were wearing different clothes.

After three consecutive sword strikes, the enemy retreated again and again, and the shields piled up higher and higher. He Yunjing had no way to continue.

But the other side obviously did not give up the idea of ​​retreating. They knew that the reinforcements from Wu State would not arrive so soon, so they wanted to take the opportunity to capture a few more cities.

He Yunjing did not stop. He took out a tendon from his waist and tied it tightly to the city wall. He pulled out a spear and aligned it flush with the city wall and pulled it open with force.

He Yunjing called the system in his mind, determined the position of the other marshal, and then aimed and fired.

The spear was shot out with a whistling sound at an extremely fast speed. Originally, they thought it would not be within the range, but they did not expect it to be shot so far and to know the position of their marshal. By the time they reacted, the spear was already in front of them.

However, the Northern Kingdom's army was also well-trained and quickly raised their shields to resist, but the spears were too powerful and the shield formation was defeated, and the enemy marshal was still injured.

The main reason was that their position was exposed. If it happened again, they might not be so lucky next time. The Northern Army could only order a temporary retreat.

Seeing the enemy army retreat, the soldiers defending the city immediately breathed a sigh of relief and all turned their eyes to He Yunjing, regarding him as their savior and a hero who protected the city.

He Yunjing, however, could not be happy. After returning to Wu State, he revealed the news to Wu Ziqian. Wu Ziqian should have investigated the movements of the Northern State long ago. How come the army of Quecheng was not prepared at all and was defeated like this?

He frowned deeply, thinking of the fact that Wu Anhou died on the battlefield of the Northern Kingdom in the plot. Not only were there Northern Kingdom influences within the Wu Kingdom, but they had even infiltrated among the generals.

And that person's status is definitely not low, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to intercept such important news.

But He Yunjing couldn't say it now, not only would it alert the enemy but it would also put Jiang Li in trouble. This was why he didn't tell the emperor directly. However, the price was a bit high.

He Yunjing tried hard to suppress his emotions and was invited to join the army to discuss the next battle.

He Yunjing was not good at deploying troops. After all, he had never really done it before. There were too many people, and he could not reveal his identity yet, so he did not express his opinion.

However, that night He Yunjing secretly left the city on his own, tied a rope and descended directly. He wanted to assassinate the marshal of the Northern Kingdom to buy time for reinforcements.

He Yunjing sneaked into the camp alone, and with the help of the system's positioning, he set fire to the granary of the stationed troops, causing a commotion and then sneaked into the marshal's tent.

He breathed softly and waited. After the fire was put out, the Northern Marshal returned to the tent and waited for his chance to act. He threw a handful of incense and a poison needle directly into the Northern Marshal's neck.

The Northern Kingdom Marshal lost his life in an instant, and He Yunjing quickly reached out to support him and placed him on the wooden bed in the tent.

He Yunjing did all this quietly and searched for a safe route to evacuate quickly based on the system's real-time broadcast.

After escaping the enemy camp, the system finally reacted, [Host, host! You are so awesome. You killed the marshal of the Northern Army so easily! ]

The system's voice was very excited, and it was really praising He Yunjing.

It seemed like a simple plan, but if one made a wrong step in the middle, they would be trapped in the enemy camp and hacked to death. But He Yunjing did it, and it was particularly smooth.

He Yunjing didn't think it was easy. He had to set fire silently to cause chaos, sneak into the enemy marshal's tent without making any sound, kill him silently and then escape. If he made a mistake or stopped for even a second, he would be dead.

It was only because of his good psychological quality and previous experience that things were going so smoothly. He Yunjing even wanted to go back to his old job as a killer.

He Yunjing grabbed the rope and climbed up again. He went back to rest only after making sure that he had not alarmed anyone else.

As expected, the Northern Kingdom did not attack the city the next day. They were probably a little confused after discovering the death of the marshal in the morning. This was a good thing, but their revenge would be even more crazy after they recovered.

Looking at the empty Quecheng, He Yunjing decided to treat it as a battlefield. After a short discussion, he set up traps in several streets near the city gate. Defending the city was too difficult, but if they waited for them to break into the city and pour in through the city gate, they would have to deal with far fewer enemies at the same time.

Determine the position of the archers, and rotate the two groups, just shoot arrows at the city gate. He can hide in the houses and have cover, which can better preserve his strength.

When the Northern Kingdom attacked the city again that night, He Yunjing led his men to make a few feint attacks and then pretended to be short of weapons and slowed down. The Northern Kingdom army also quickly broke down the door and tried to capture Luo City.

Just as the city gate was broken, the Northern soldiers rushed in shouting, and were met with a hail of arrows, killing a large number of them immediately.

By the time the enemy realized that they could not rush in through the city gate, it was too late. All the ladders had been pushed down and the city walls were covered with a layer of oil, so they could no longer support the ladders.

He Yunjing drew the bow, lit the fuse on the arrow and shot it out. Even though the sword was blocked by the shield, the fuse burned out, and the bamboo tube tied to the arrow exploded, emitting white powder.

People within the range of the white powder fell to the ground instantly, and He Yunjing shot several arrows immediately afterwards, stupefying a large number of people.

The same is true at the city gate. When too many enemies pour in, this method can be used to reduce the number of enemy combatants and control the situation.

The battle lasted for two hours. After the weapons were exhausted, everyone retreated. He Yunjing also led his men down from the city wall and into the street.

After the Northern soldiers rushed in and poured into the street, the soldiers hiding in the dark pulled up ropes and successfully tripped up a large number of the people rushing in.

As the prepared oil barrels were pushed over, rockets were fired one after another, and the tung oil on the ground was instantly ignited, burning the clothes of the Northern soldiers. The sound of fighting instantly turned into wailing.

He Yunjing stood on a high place and looked down. He was not good at fighting, but he was very good at playing dirty tricks.

The fire spread, burning human bodies and increasing the intensity of the fire, and it directly spread to the city gate. In addition, they had already prepared fuel, so the Northern soldiers outside the city retreated one after another and dared not come in again.
