Chapter 002: Fighting Side by Side

However, there was not a trace of joy on anyone's face, for only two individuals had ascended the city tower, while the remaining soldiers of Zhao began to cut down the ladders leading to the tower.

At this moment, Su Jie had twelve seconds left in his time reversal, and he had died twice more.

Su Jie glanced slightly at the surrounding cloud ladder

Well, well, this person is undoubtedly handsome and will be rewarded generously. Oh, who is that young general in the rear

Wang Ben shouted at Su Jie: "Elder brother, retreat quickly, we shall fight again another day, do not lose your life in vain"

At this moment, the two were engaged in a fierce battle on the city tower. Su Jie had already killed five men. Under their combined assault, Su Jie was about to strike down the last soldier of Zhao with his sword, completing his mission

Brother, what are you doing? Are you seeking death? We cannot go up.

But it is evident that there is still a shortfall at present

The scene shifts, returning to a few seconds ago

The sound of the horn resounded loudly

Su Jie naturally would not know that at this moment he has already caught the attention of the general Wang He

The Qin people are known for their martial prowess, yet at this moment, even those who are fearless in the face of death find it difficult to approach the stairs. Su Jie, amidst the countless Qin soldiers' gazes, skillfully dodges left and right, evading the rain of arrows, no matter how dense it is, leaving onlookers in awe

Wei Jing said to Wang He: "Generals, these two men are both exceptional warriors of my Qin army. If this continues, they will surely perish here. With only these two ascending the city tower, it would be better to order a retreat, as there is still a glimmer of hope. My army has already seized the opportunity to breach the city today. After this battle, the Zhao army has lost its courage to fight. If we choose another day to engage, we will surely be able to capture Pilao."

Wuwuwu ... ...

At this moment, not a single Qin soldier was able to ascend, all falling under the dense rain of arrows from the Zhao army. On the entire battlefield, only Su Jie managed to climb the two-zhang high ladder.

Wang He pondered for a moment and said, "It can only be this way."

Su Jie naturally had his unspoken hardships. Previously, he had been quite fortunate, having only died twice while dodging the rain of arrows. However, in the eyes of other Qin people, he was undoubtedly agile and skilled.

Su Jie was filled with rage. At this moment, the Qin army's camp had already sounded the horn. If he could not kill another person at this moment, he, Su Jie, would also be unable to escape death. He thought to himself: "Good for you, Wang Ben!"

Wang Ben swung his spear to deflect three long swords, directly stabbing a Zhao soldier in the throat. In the blink of an eye, a long spear was thrust out.

Wang Ben, still in shock, was saved by Su Jie with this sword, which was a matter of life and death. At this moment, this suddenly appearing stunning sword made Wang Ben marvel at how agile Su Jie’s skills and reactions truly were

I am Wang Ben, and I thank you, elder brother, for your rescue

Two people, one in front and one behind, back to back, were instantly surrounded by countless Zhao soldiers on the city wall

Generally speaking, the siege warfare

At this moment, Wang Ben swung his spear to deflect the strikes of three Zhao soldiers, but was suddenly pierced in the abdomen by a surprise attack from a hidden spear soldier, with blood immediately spilling onto the ground.

Wang Ben

Su Jie felt a deep, unspoken sorrow within, naturally compelled to provide an explanation. However, there was no time left. With a furious roar, Su Jie charged towards the crowd of people.

One by one, the Qin soldiers roared behind Su Jie

Wang Ben wielded his silver spear like a snake, swiftly stabbing the Zhao soldier to death in front of him

Wang Ben, seeing Su Jie’s unparalleled bravery, was immediately somewhat inspired. With a surge of excitement, he said: "Brother, if you do not leave, I will not leave either. I will fight alongside you against the enemy"

The complete process of capturing the city tower is only considered accomplished when a large number of soldiers ascend the tower using the cloud frame.

... ...

The two, having been the first to ascend the city tower, left Wang He and the other generals in a state of shock, "We have finally made it up."

Wang He was speaking while keeping his eyes fixed on the two individuals besieged on the city tower

"Get lost, do not come over!" Su Jie’s roar shook Wang Ben’s eardrums

Su Jie was filled with rage, "What enmity or grievance do I have with you that you would want to put me to death in this manner?"

Wang He stroked his beard and nodded, continuing to focus his gaze on Su Jie and Wang Ben.

A young warrior, around fifteen or sixteen years old, swiftly followed Su Jie, his eyes fixed intently on him

The commander ordered the Qin army to retreat swiftly

Su Jie shouted, "Go, you leave first. If I do not kill at least one today, I will not leave even if I die. I will hold them off for you. Retreat quickly."

If this person were to die like this, I would probably find it difficult to move an inch myself

At this moment

Su Jie did not know Wang Ben, and at this moment, there were only the two of them on the city tower. Wang Ben's marksmanship was formidable, and an unexpected incident suddenly occurred, causing Su Jie's heart to race.

Although Wang Ben is valiant, he is still young and lacks the strength to continue; the battlefield is not like a martial arts competition, and one spear is hard to withstand against ten swords

However, Su Jie finally became the first to ascend the city tower that had been impregnable to the lunar assault

Upon seeing Wang Ben's returning figure, Su Jue was so frightened that his soul seemed to leave his body. At this moment, the Qin army began to retreat in droves. If I cannot kill another person, not only will the Zhao army eliminate me, but you, Wang Ben, and the system will also be my demise

Wang Ben felt a tremor in his heart, deeply moved. Seeing Su Jie with a stern expression, he finally came to a halt.

Su Jie used his wooden shield in his left hand to protect his chest, while with his right hand he wielded a short sword to deflect another arrow that was flying towards him

Countless soldiers were shaken by Su Jie’s roar, and Su Jie’s performance further exemplified the fearless bravery of the old Qin people

The vanguard troops were the first to ascend the city tower, securing a vast expanse of open ground

If the army charges up the city walls, it is naturally impossible to retreat, which is also a major taboo in military strategy

Wang Ben had no time to evade and thought to himself, "My life is over."

Su Jie skillfully wielded his sword, deflecting the incoming arrows one by one, much to the delight of the soldiers following behind him

Wang Ben sighed, saying: "My brother's bravery and martial prowess surpasses mine!"

This person possesses remarkable skills, soldiers, keep up with this brother

At this moment, Su Jie struck his sword against the spear, allowing Wang Ben to finally escape from a situation that was certain to lead to his death

Su Jie’s actions greatly inspired the retreating Qin army and the observing generals

Countless gazes from the armies of Qin and Zhao converged on this solitary siege ladder, and the soldiers of Zhao finally reacted, dispatching a small group to begin shooting at the ladder

Su Jie was preoccupied with the weapons of Zhao's soldiers, and did not immediately recall the renowned name of Wang Ben, only feeling that the name Wang Ben was quite familiar

A general beside Wang He immediately responded: "Returning to the commander, this young man is Wang Jian's son, Wang Ben, aged 15, who has always been known for his bravery."

Forget it, I will save your life, time will turn back

Brothers, climb up this brother's ladder, quickly, climb for me

After speaking, one must rush back again

Under the city gate, a general of five hundred saw that there was only one ladder among the ten siege ladders. He immediately ordered the other foot soldiers to follow Su Jie up the ladder and ascend the tower.

Su Jie was the first to ascend the cloud ladder. As soon as he climbed to a height of one zhang, he saw an archer on the city tower shoot an arrow at him.

However, now, withdrawing the troops is the only way for the two to have a glimmer of hope

The two individuals ascended the tower one after the other, only to be immediately overwhelmed by the surging Zhao army, causing them to retreat along the narrow city wall.

Wang Hehu's eyes flashed as he struck down with a heavy fist upon the carriage.

Su Jie looked at Wang Ben with eyes full of sorrow and indignation. Wang Ben, feeling inexplicably surprised, attempted to break through the city tower and move closer to the siege ladder while saying: "Brother, this person is preparing to plot against you. Why do you look at me like this?"

System time remaining: 17 seconds

Wang Ben let out a loud shout and quickly descended the city tower using the cloud ladder
