"Woah! Everyone had really disappeared! Where is this place?" Fang Siyun couldn't help but shout.
It seemed that the fact that he had come to the foreign realm had broken his silent personality.
His loud shout attracted many patrolling soldiers to surround him and point their spears at him…
Si Yun reflexively raised his hand in surrender, muttering," I'm harmless…" He had already thrown his silence out of the clouds. I think he had already washed away his so-called military aura, right?
At this moment, a person walked over and said,"I am the mayor of this town. Who are you? Why did he appear here? Don't you know that war is coming?" His eyes were fixed on Si Yun.
Si Yun carefully sized up this person and thought,""This person looks very young, about thirty years old. He looks like a good person and is very polite. He didn't kill me with one shot.”
Si Yun thought for a moment, then sorted out her thoughts and said humbly,"My name is Fang Siyun. I'm a traveler who travels around. I'm not from your town, so I didn't know that there was a war.”After saying that, he bowed deeply.
The mayor saw that he was humble and reasonable, and did not think that he was a person who disturbed the peace. He said,"My name is Luo Sha. This is Luo Town. I'm afraid you might suffer some losses, so you can go to the fallout shelter first.”After saying that, he pointed in a direction and said,"Someone will guide you there."
Si Yun thought about it for a moment. She didn't feel like he was going to put her under house arrest. In addition, this person's behavior was not ordinary. Moreover, wasn't Si Yun best at fighting? Si Yun didn't know how to fight here, so she mustered up her courage and said,""Mayor, I heard that you have a war. Can you tell me about it? Maybe I can help?"
Luo Sha said with a surprised expression,""Oh…no problem! But can you really help us?" His eyes were filled with suspicion.
Because when ordinary people heard about the war, they would not keep it! It was too late to run.
He turned to the other soldiers and said,"Everyone should go to where they are supposed to be and strengthen the patrol." Here! You guys follow me."
Luo Sha wasn't the mayor for nothing. Of course, he was wary of Si Yun, which was why he took away some soldiers. Si Yun also knew Luo Sha's intentions, but wouldn't everyone do the same? There was no reason for him to hand over the entire village to a stranger with just a few words. Then, he should not be the mayor.
When they arrived at the meeting room in town, other than the soldiers guarding outside, the two of them entered the room and sat down. Luo Sha said,"There are disputes in the south of the continent, and it has already become a few small countries. Our place is remote, and very few forces will invade here. But now, the city lord of Boli City, who is closest to us, wants to attack us. I was promoted by everyone to be the mayor, so I should protect this place, and also protect my hometown!”After saying that, he couldn't help but look dejected.
Si Yun recalled the scene on the road just now. The commoners all had their own garrison points. When they met Luo Sha, they would greet him from the bottom of their hearts. It seemed that Luo Sha had managed this place well and should be a good leader.
"May I ask who is leading the troops here? How many soldiers were there in the town? What tools do we have? How many people are there?" Si Yun boldly asked this taboo of a military strategist. He wanted to bet that the mayor believed that he was not a spy.
However, Si Yun was wrong. What was important here was the spirit of chivalry and magic morality. Before sending troops, they would declare war. There was almost no need for any strategy. It was just clear that both sides would kill each other. At most, they would hide the number of people. Therefore, the impact of asking these questions was not very big. Moreover, did they still need to scout them in such a small place?
Luo Sha smiled wryly." There's no harm in telling you. If I was in a big city, I might think that you're here to ask for information. To be honest, we only have two thousand soldiers. Usually, I'm the one leading the troops. There's not much equipment in the city. I heard that the other party has ten thousand infantry and will reach Luo Town in a few days.”
Si Yun asked further,"Can you let me try leading troops? I think I might be able to defend against this wave of attacks!”
"Is what you said true?" Luo Sha's eyes lit up with excitement. We suffered heavy casualties in the previous battles, and our numbers dropped from 5,000 to 2,000. This time, they're going all out to take our Luo Town so that they can increase their territory. To be honest, even I'm not 100% confident this time!”
Then, he said with a little excitement,"To be honest, even if what you say is true, I am willing to hand over the people to you, but they might not listen to your orders.”
Si Yun stood up and said," Mayor, you don't have to worry about this. The soldiers are still under your command. I only need to give you some advice. Mayor, you just need to bring me along." I still know how to lead troops to war. If the mayor trusts me, I will definitely protect Luo Zhen!”
What a joke! Fang Siyun didn't know how to lead troops, so he was a fake officer. He just needed to familiarize himself with the cold weapons.
Luo Sha thought for a while and said seriously,"Alright!" I'll let you try, but you still have to discuss some things with me. How about it?”
"I can't ask for more," Si Yun replied.
Luo Sha shouted outside,"Call the soldiers over!"”
The soldiers who received the order left in a hurry. Soon, all the people who led the soldiers to battle arrived.
Luo Sha then announced to everyone," Until the end of the war, Fang Siyun will be my advisor. He will help us deal with the enemy. He has also been on the battlefield and is confident that he can win this battle. I think I can give you all to his wisdom, and he and I will advance and retreat with everyone.”After saying that, he scanned everyone's expressions.
Some people wanted to say something, but thinking about it, Luo Sha had probably made this decision after some consideration. Perhaps this person really had some ability. Besides, wasn't Luo Sha going to be there with him? There shouldn't be any change of heart.
After a while, everyone said in unison,"Understood!"
In the following days, Si Yun ordered people to collect oil. Some of it was left behind, and some was filled into containers. She stuffed it with cloth and pulled out a little, collecting no less than thousands of bottles. She also dug a trench outside the city that was not deep but about half a meter wide, encircling nearly a quarter of the main city wall. Because the city was not big, it did not take much time. She also filled the trench with the remaining oil and placed traps on both sides of the trench. As Luo Town was close to the sea, there was no need to worry about the future. Of course, she had also asked Luo Sha and knew that it wouldn't rain in the next few days. Only then did Si Yun dare to set up these arrangements.
Si Yun also sent some soldiers to receive them outside. Of course! In the eyes of the others, they did not know what this kid was up to. Even Luo Sha was no exception. He only vaguely knew that he was planning to use fire. Although Luo Sha did not agree, the villagers were not knights or mages. Who cared about their spirits? Protecting the place was the most important thing!
After spending two days preparing everything, they were just waiting for the enemy to come to them.
Early in the morning, Si Yun was woken up by a siren. Then, a soldier shouted to him,"Sir, the enemy is attacking!"
When Si Yun heard this, she hurriedly changed into her original clothes and went straight to the city wall with a chopper.
Looking at the black mass of enemy soldiers marching forward like a square, the soldiers on the city walls subconsciously tightened their grip on their knives. Their eyes were fixed in front of them, afraid that they might have missed something. Si Yun also felt Luo Sha's uneasiness. If Si Yun had not asked Luo Sha to trust him 100% previously, Luo Sha would have already ordered to shoot when he saw that the enemy was within the range of his bow and arrow, right?
Si Yun shouted,"Everyone, don't move. Wait for my order."”
Luo Sha, who was at the side, also nodded, indicating that he would listen to Si Yun's orders.
The soldiers at the side calculated the distance between the army and the city. 300 steps…250 steps…200 steps…
"Release the arrows!" Si Yun suddenly shouted when he was about 200 steps away.
In an instant, thousands of arrows flew towards the soldiers below the city wall, but they were unable to cause much damage to the enemy because they still had shieldbearers who could block the wooden arrows falling from the sky.
However, this was Si Yun's way of drawing their attention away.
The enemy general also shouted,"Take this city for me and take the first step to expand our territory!"”After saying that, the army seemed to have sped up and rushed over!
"Release! Shoot as many arrows as you can. Don't feel sorry for your arrows. When you feel sorry for the loss of your arrows, your family will feel sorry for your life!”
Just as most of the enemy troops were about three hundred steps away, an ambush four hundred steps away sneaked out of the forest. Although it was called an ambush, there were only a few dozen of them.
Si Yun, who was standing on top of the city wall, naturally saw this scene. At this moment, Si Yun shouted,"In the first round, everyone will have a bottle.”
At the same time, the ambush outside also ignited the fuel in the trench 300 steps away from the city.
"Bang!" The sound of the bottle shattering rang out, and many wails immediately came from below the city. The weather was dry, and a fire snake instantly spread out. The enemy troops instantly became restless, and their formation was disrupted. Many soldiers did not dare to approach their companions who were already on fire. Everyone ran backwards or to the sides, afraid that the top would throw strange things down again.
The enemy general immediately shouted,"All soldiers, retreat!”Just as he was about to turn back, he was stunned. Why was there a wall of fire behind him? There was nothing wrong when they passed by just now…Right! It looked like an irrigation canal! Then who lit the fire? There should be an ambush, right? Damned villagers of Luo Town!
It was too late to regret now. The soldiers who had fled to the two sides fell into the traps set by Si Yun one by one, and they were instantly strung together!
That's right! They could indeed discover the ambush, but only when there were more than a few hundred people would the trees, birds, and beasts in the forest react strangely and be discovered. However, there were only a few dozen people in Luo Zhen's ambush.
The wailing grew louder. The soldiers below did not know what to do. They had to advance. The fire in front was big. They had to retreat! Sooner or later, the fire would burn over. He would run to both sides and become a meat skewer again. He could only retreat. Every second he lived was a second.
Unfortunately, Si Yun would not let them have their wishful thinking. Si Yun did not plan to let anyone go. She threw out round after round of fire bottles in an orderly manner. When there were nearly a thousand bottles left, she ordered people to bring out the catapults that she had rushed to make and throw these bottles at the enemy troops further away. When the enemy soldiers saw that the strange thing could fly so far, they lost their will to survive. There was no way out, and their morale fell to the bottom.
They had already forced the enemy to a place far away from the city gate, and the fire below the city was much smaller. Even if they were close to the city gate, they would not feel the heat. The bigger fire was farther away, so it was time to clean it up.
Si Yun waved her hand, and the city gate immediately opened a crack. Many soldiers came out drenched. They didn't make any killing sounds and quietly approached the invading enemy. The enemy didn't expect the villagers to suddenly attack under the fire. It was very easy, like harvesting. Although there were small groups of resistance, they didn't cause any casualties. The older citizens who didn't join the army also began to collect the weapons of the enemy.
And this battle was less than an hour!
The enemy general still didn't understand how he had been defeated until his death. The previous few times he had come to probe the situation, it had clearly been an intense offensive and defensive battle. Although the number of troops was equal at that time, why had he suddenly changed his method this time? Throw something that will catch fire? Impossible! There couldn't be a mage inside!
He didn't expect Si Yun to disregard his chivalry and use a scheme. The people here probably didn't think that a war could be fought like this, right?
Just like that, he was stabbed into a meat skewer by the soldiers with a bunch of question marks. He could only go down and ask the King of Hell.
Although they claimed to have 10,000 soldiers, they actually had 5,000. With the fire, there were less than 1,000 people left. Their morale was low, so killing the enemy was as easy as flipping their palms.
However, most of the enemy had chosen to surrender. With the death of their commander, there was no point in fighting anymore, right?
At this moment, Luo Sha, who was standing beside Si Yun, couldn't help but admire this young lad. He killed ten thousand enemies and lost less than a hundred of his own. How much more capable was this person than him? Looking at Si Yun's back, he thought,""We should keep him here so that we can protect ourselves in the chaotic Southern Continent.”
At this moment, Si Yun was not feeling good. Although he had once been an officer, it was in a peaceful era without war. How could he let so many people lose their precious lives in a short period of time? On the surface, he had to pretend that it was a matter of course. However, he also knew that this was the path he would have to take in the future.
The people who were listening to Si Yun's orders started to worship their " lord ". From the past until now, which battle had been won so easily? It was as if they were watching a show. Unknowingly, the show was over and everyone won!
In the hearts of the young people, there was already a sense of worship. Si Yun had already begun to establish a new position in their hearts...
