1324 Invasion Again 2


    “We only have 10,000 soldiers with us from the capital and we only have 30,000 here at Xinzhou, thousands of whom are injured. General Huangpu said that the battle a while ago caused a casualty of 5,000 people, and if we continue to go forward like that today, we will lose a lot more. So we can use some tricks with sneak attacks today.”


    “…”


    “We may have some unexpected results.”


    “…”


    “You remember the metal human that Mu Yihan invented? They are imed to be invincible against everything, but they still have a weakness. And we brought them down with some tricks.”


    “…”


    “Those magical monsters are huge and they can fight very fiercely against people, but they have weaknesses too. They are very heavy and clumsy!”


    “…”


    “We can use some tricks to deal with them,” Gu Chaoyan said with a smile.


    She said that she was trying, but she had looked about carefully, and believed that her trick could definitely work.


    Unless there was something else that popped up suddenly.


    Hearing what Gu Chaoyan said, Zhou Huaijin pinched her nose. “You are really tricky, you!”


    “…”


    “The North Qi is meeting their star of misfortune now!” Zhou Huaijin chuckled.


    Gu Chaoyan smiled briefly, but said nothing else.


    By this point, Fu Bao and his men carried buckets of soybeans up to the gate. Xinzhou was a rtively rich town with many things, and the civilians were participating in the work together. So they gave the soybeans out the moment they were asked to do so.


    The civilians at Xinzhou understood that those things would fall into the enemies’ hands, if Xinzhou was captured, so they were not at all stingy to offer their soybeans.


    Gu Chaoyan was very satisfied when she looked at the soybeans. Those were more than enough.


    Gu Chaoyan looked at Fu Bao and whispered. “Make sure General Huangpu and his men keep the gate closed. They should not move without my order.”


    Having said this, Gu Chaoyan looked at one of the soldiers at the gate, took his bow and held it in her hands.


    The others were all holding one bucket of soybeans in their arms.


    “Just pour when I tell you to.” Gu Chaoyan stressed.


    They all nodded.


    Then Gu Chaoyan whispered to Fu Bao and a few hidden guards.


    Then silence dominated the gate.


    The North Qi troops went forward with the magical monsters without even any orders from the general.


    Gu Chaoyan saw the magical monstersing towards the gate, Gu Chaoyan said with a small voice, “Now!”


    Arrows flew forward.


    “Pour!” Gu Chaoyan shouted.


    People at the gate were pouring the soybeans from above.


    Arrows continued and each one hit right in the magical monsters’ eyes.


    Most of the magical monsters were injured in the eyes so they started to roar as they tried to lunge at the gate. However, they ran into the soybeans and they kept tripping and falling.
