Chapter 7, The War Begins

... ...

Wang Wei was unsure whether his guess at this moment was correct, but logically speaking, a mere newcomer task should be the least difficult task, and it should not result in more than half of the reincarnators dying right from the start

I certainly do not wish to test how fast Li San's knife is

More importantly, they have faith

Before the Battle of Changsha, Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song each commanded an army of 20,000. Logically, the garrison of Changsha City should not have been less than 20,000. However, many sources indicate that during the Battle of Changsha, the garrison of Changsha City numbered only a few thousand

The two who were injured, take this medicine, and you will be able to work well in a while

Just at the moment of Wang Wei's hesitation, there was a loud crash, and another ladder was erected in the defense area of the small team.

During the preparation time, a unarmored reincarnator is directly eliminated by the opening of the door, which signifies that this individual is unable to adapt to the rapidly changing environment and lacks a plan for their intended actions—this, in the eyes of the War Paradise, indicates that the individual has no cultivation value, thus they are directly sentenced to death

Before the war, the people of the Han Dynasty believed that the so-called Yellow Turban Army was merely a group of untrained soldiers, consisting entirely of insignificant figures, who would collapse at the slightest provocation

It is only because their attributes are doubled that these novice reincarnators can stand up to the common soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army

How could it possibly be this difficult

Isn't this battlefield paradise supposed to be where we carry out missions? What kind of mission execution is this? This is clearly murder!

Opening the door to kill, military law enforcement, and medical supplies for injuries

This is a form of screening

This issue is beyond Wang Wei's confirmation, but the number of the Yellow Turban Army is quite evident—during this battle alone, tens of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers perished...! According to the death ratio in the era of cold weapon warfare, the Yellow Turban Army led by Bo Cai likely numbered over 100,000!

Indeed, the Yellow Turban Army was a popular uprising organized in the form of a religious movement

... ...

In that moment, Wang Wei suddenly understood the origin of the novice benefit 3: strength...

This person's combat power is sufficient to keep the remaining four in line

Thus, Wang Wei instantly reached an extremely simple conclusion—direct confrontation was completely unavoidable

Main quest phase one begins: Defend the city walls and fend off the attacks of the Yellow Turban Army. Either kill or be killed! Want to escape? You can give it a try

One person immediately took the medicine for injuries, and Wang Wei, with his keen eyes, quickly noticed that the person's complexion improved significantly. The sluggishness caused by the injury also vanished without a trace—such rapid effectiveness of the medicine was something Wang Wei had never seen in his life.

It is important to note that during this period, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun were among the most prominent generals in the court. Zhu Jun himself was no ordinary figure, yet he and his forces were defeated by the Yellow Turbans led by Bo Cai—this truly terrified the Han court

Upon reflection, it is indeed strange that the rain of arrows came so precisely—three arrows for each person, and they were shot over the city wall. Who on earth could shoot so accurately

Amidst this silent atmosphere, five individuals, including Li San, ascended the city wall. Upon reaching the top of the wall, Li San finally came to a halt. He turned around, reached into his garment, and after a moment of searching, took out two dark pills.

However, another person, clearly harboring different intentions, took advantage of Li San's moment of inattention and swiftly moved his hand, retrieving the healing medicine back into the battle pattern space.

Or rather, they have been confused from the beginning until now

Recalling Li San's command, Wang Wei was just about to pick up the wooden sticks and stones when he saw that the long-haired girl had already dashed out the moment Li San issued the order, lifting the stones and strenuously making her way towards the ladder that Li San was guarding.

The distance from the initial appearance location to the city wall is not far

Wang Wei suddenly felt a stir in his heart

The angry curses of an injured reincarnator echoed in his ears, yet Li San seemed to be oblivious to them. Wang Wei felt a stir in his heart but did not dare to respond.

Before going into battle, Li San provided the remaining two injured individuals with medicine to aid in their recovery, indicating that they still held value for rescue. The War Paradise extended a helping hand to them, granting them a chance for a fresh start

Among the three injured individuals, one who was dealt with under military law is completely devoid of sense. Although the preparatory work was done reasonably well, the inability to see the situation clearly can be considered a justifiable cause for their demise

This guy

Wang Wei silently complained as he slowly tightened his grip on the battle knife in his hand. Before long, the war drums sounded in the distance, and the densely packed Yellow Turban Army charged forward like the wind once again

However, no one expected that Zhu Jun, leading an army of 20,000, would be utterly lost against these so-called mud-legged soldiers

As soon as the rain of arrows had passed three rounds, the vanguard of the Yellow Turban Army had already reached the foot of the city wall. Accompanied by the clanging sounds, ladders were immediately erected, and the hooks on the ladders were quickly secured to the city wall, instantly forming a passageway leading to the top of the wall

Damn, how shrewd!

During the Three Kingdoms period, there were already cloud ladders, but this is merely a simple cloud ladder. However, it has hooks, and you cannot take it down either.

Similarly, this also proves one thing: these Yellow Turban soldiers are not merely a group of displaced people or bandits; they are organized and disciplined. Although their combat effectiveness may not match that of regular troops, they still possess commendable qualities.

This historical fact is clear to Wang Wei, but there are also aspects that are difficult to understand—such as the comparison of forces between Huangfu Song and the Yellow Turban Army during the Battle of Changsha

Wang Wei indeed understood this person's ulterior motives—clearly, he was impressed by the remarkable effectiveness of the wound medicine and wanted to save it for future use. But for heaven's sake, can't he take a look at his current state...

Using stones to strike at enemies is certainly preferable to engaging in close combat with them. Although the number of stones and wooden clubs is limited, it is only natural to prolong survival for as long as possible in this situation—after all, the main objective does not require killing enemies, but merely surviving.

The first to take action, of course, were the garrison troops on the city wall

Accompanied by the buzzing sound of bowstrings, a sparse rain of arrows shot fiercely towards the Yellow Turban army. Although the arrow rain was sparse, it was powerful and precise, and one could see a group of Yellow Turban soldiers falling down as they charged from a distance.

Five people died at the outset, and one more was dealt with under military law

Li San let out a loud roar, lifted his long knife, and arrived at the edge of the cloud ladder

Historical records indicate that before the battle, Sun was defeated by Bo Cai and subsequently retreated to protect Chang She. Bo Cai then led the masses to besiege the city, and with Sun's forces being few, there was widespread fear among the troops

Buzz

However, Wang Wei had no authority over other people's matters. He looked down upon that person for a moment, and in his heart, he could not help but reflect deeply on everything that had just occurred

However, the remaining four are indeed at a loss.

History has repeatedly summarized the terrifying nature and destructive power of religious believers

Li San is nearby, and no one dares to take up this topic. It is evident that the man who spoke up was merely indignant, yet not to the extent of losing his senses. His voice softly echoed, and after a single sentence, he vanished without a trace

This speculation is destined to remain unanswered. After a brief contemplation, Wang Wei set aside his thoughts. At this moment, Li San waved his hand again and led the group to a nearby section of the city wall.

However, as the saying goes, when one person falls, countless others follow... Even though a number were struck down by the rain of arrows, the vacancies were quickly filled by the later Yellow Turban Army. Although their military appearance was disordered, their speed was exceedingly rapid... In just a glance, Wang Wei's heart suddenly skipped a beat

"Lumber! Stones! One person goes, the remaining three will follow me to slay the enemy!"

At this moment, several corpses lay haphazardly on this section of the city wall, including both Han soldiers and bandits. The squad leader at the forefront nodded slightly upon seeing Li San's arrival, then led seven injured soldiers away, while Li San turned back to look at the remaining four reincarnators.

As soon as Li San finished speaking, a notification sound came from the battle pattern.

The two injured reincarnators stepped forward to receive the healing medicine. Wang Wei could see the joy on their faces, and he understood that what Li San had provided was undoubtedly a healing item identical to the equipment.

A vague thought arose from the heart

Li San shouted loudly and issued a command, while Wang Wei and the other three gentlemen exchanged glances, uncertain and unwilling, yet they indeed lacked the courage to oppose Li San's orders

You three go there

The Yellow Turban Army, led by Ma De, is running at the forefront, and even while carrying makeshift ladders, their speed is nearly comparable to that of Bolt

Even a simple siege ladder has its hooks; once it is hung on the city wall, do not think that it can be toppled by human strength

Now, Wang Wei is confronted with such a group of fearless semi-professional troops

From now on, this section of the ten-meter city wall will be our defense zone. After fatigue, there will naturally be someone to take over.
