Bang! Bang! Bang!
Under Long Qian Xing's army cover, Nan Luo and his soldiers rushed forward while carrying
the long log. Naturally, only a few strong people were given the task to carry the log and when they reached the front, the log was used to pound the gate.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The dull sound of the log hitting the gate could be heard.
The soldiers from Fan Yi Kingdom wanted to stop them, but the soldiers under Long Qian Xing had already reached the top of the wall and busy fighting with the soldiers there. This stopped their attempt to hurt the other soldiers who were still climbing up the wall.
Instead, the sound of metal hitting could be heard above them.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
"Continue! We'll tear down this gate today!" Nan Luo yelled at his soldiers and then looked up. As much as he wanted to be the one to break the gate too, he knew that as the commander he had to lead the army. So he left this task to the others who were strong enough and more qualified.
"YESS!"
The soldiers replied and continued their pounding vigorously.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The gate was cracking with each time they hit it with the long log. But it still didn't budge, so they could only keep on hitting it.
Anyway, this is the task of their army for the entire day.
They had to continue!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Similar scene happened on the other side of the wall. The difference was that the number of soldiers were different and the main leader was not Long Qian Xing but his adjutant, Lou.
After all, there were four city walls and Long Qian Xing had to divide the army in a way that would make sure they could get inside.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
...
In the distance, Nan Hua watched the battle between Fei Yang Kingdom and Fan Yi Kingdom. She had no intention to participate in this battle and it was also meaningless for her to join in.
Fei Yang Kingdom didn't really need her help.
"This is a good view to watch."
Nan Hua didn't turn around but she knew who was coming. "Don't you have to take care of the wounded, Senior Brother Shan?"
"It's break time for me," Shan Yu replied in relaxed tone. He sat on the stone not far from Nan Hua. "How did you manage to find this place? It can give us such a perfect view for the war at the front but still safe?"
They were on a small hill not far from the city. This hill was covered in rocks and Nan Hua sat on one of them, watching the battle in the distance.
She has been here since the morning.
The war had taken quite a long time but there was no sign of them entering Fan Yi Kingdom yet.
"This hill is quite eye catching, Third Senior Brother," Nan Hua replied unhurriedly.
For Nan Hua, she would always observe her surroundings. This was a habit that she had developed ever since she was young and would still continue to do so. Because through the observation, she would be able to figure out some things that she usually couldn't see.
When she came here, she naturally noticed this small hill and considering the size and angle, it would allow them to watch the battle unobstructed.
Moreover, this hill located a distance away from the battlefield and would not interfere with the battle. Neither side would come here either.
This was simply the perfect place to watch.
Many strategist would love this place because they could watch the entire war without getting involved.
Observation was the main skill for a qualified strategist.
When they were still learning, watching other people's battle and made the proper analysis was a skill they have to do.
"Is it?" Shan Yu was a bit skeptical. There were a few other small hills nearby but Nan Hua specifically picked this one. He believed that she has her own reasons.
But considering that he didn't really learn art of war or anything like that, Shan Yu didn't press Nan Hua and looked into the distance.
Yu Jin was fighting fiercely and many of her soldiers were ramming the city gate.
Some soldiers even kicked and punched the city wall while waiting for their turn to climb up. It was clear that they were really excited.
Shan Yu's lips twitched when he saw this. "I hope their bones didn't crack from this..."
Punching a wall...
Human's body was not really designed to punch something hard like that. If they were not soldiers and had good physical skills, Shan Yu really wanted to go there and scold them
fiercely.
Nan Hua shook her head. "The wall is crumbling."
"Hmm?"
"Don't worry, they're fine," Nan Hua replied as she looked at the city in the distance. "But it seems that one day is not enough."
Hearing this, Shan Yu was stunned.
He looked at Nan Hua with a strange expression. "Do you really think that they can finish the war in a single day?"
"If the difference in skills between the two sides are big enough, it's not impossible," Nan Hua replied lightly.
As long as one side was much stronger, the battle would be a crushing defeat.
Moreover, a proper use of tactics and strategy could make such a one sided battle appear too.
But Fan Yi Kingdom had no intentions to give up.
The arranged tactic also somewhat slowed down Fei Yang Kingdom. Unless Long Qian Xing planned to let the soldiers fought through the night, it would be difficult for them to bring down Fan Yi Kingdom today.
This was the evaluation Nan Hua made after seeing the situation in front of her.
Of course, her analysis might be wrong if something unexpected happen.
"Is that so?" Shan Yu muttered in a low voice.
After that, the two of them fell into silence and watched the battle in the distance without
talking with each other.
