Chapter 2, Defending the City

What is there to fear, Mr. Han

Before the hundred or so soldiers, it seemed as if they had developed a profound tacit understanding, though the reason for it was unclear

Thinking of the opponent that I and others must face, the invincible Han Xin, who has been undefeated and unconquerable since his debut

This game modifier lacks any intelligence; the voiceover is provided by Han Xin himself

When the command value is between 10 and 20, each level increase adds 2 points to the command value, and each point of command allows for an additional 100 troops to be commanded

Hey, Zhu Jun conducted very well, the rhythm is full of energy, the atmosphere is tense, look how scared you all are

This was his first encounter with the authentic ancient city walls and ancient siege warfare, and everything appeared quite novel.

Watching the soldiers kill enemies with the grace of art, Han Xin felt a sense of pride

Health Points

Seeing the Yellow Turban soldiers reporting under Liao Hua's summons, Han Xin could only roll his eyes in silence

The enemy commander is Zhu Jun, one of the three great generals of the Han Dynasty

Hurry, kill two more, I'm about to level up... Alright, I've leveled up.

When Han Xin, Liao Hua, and others arrived at the city wall, Zhu Jun's army had already formed ranks outside the city.

Huaiyin County is a small county town, with city walls no higher than 6 meters

Hahaha, Han Xin, very well, very well, the immortal military sage of all time is before us. As soldiers, how could we not feel regret for not having had the chance to engage with the great general in the past? Now that Han Xin stands before us, even if it leads to a hundred deaths, there will be no regrets.

Han Xin secretly cursed under his breath, but there was no other option; he could only make do with it

Du Yuan responded loudly while hacking at the officials and soldiers

Looking out beyond the city wall

Liao Hua, please assign me another two hundred people quickly

Han Xin shut down the game system. He observed that, apart from the sections of the city wall guarded by his own soldiers, other areas were being defended with great difficulty. He urgently called for Liao Hua.

Zhu Jun remained silent, observing the faces of the crowd that had become 10 years younger.

The one called "Pleasant" is indeed a killer; they all share an unspoken understanding. When there is a gap here, someone nearby immediately steps in to fill the void for the person next to them

Cough cough

Zhu Jun issued orders to withdraw the troops while inquiring of the generals and soldiers around him

As enemies approached, the sword-and-shield soldiers gently raised their wooden shields, while the rear spear soldiers lightly thrust forward. Then, the sword-and-shield soldiers crouched down, and the spear soldiers retreated.

Sir, we have three thousand able-bodied young men at our disposal

Han Xin quickly replied, regardless of whether it concerned the grand undertaking of promotion or his own life after the city fell, he did not wish to waste any time

How many soldiers do we currently have

The only drawback is that attributes cannot be allocated by oneself, and skills can only be increased every five levels.

Since the siege began, his subordinates are about to achieve a hundred kills

As the siege warfare commenced, Han Xin focused all his attention and efforts on the soldiers under his command

Skill: Vampiric Aura (Level 1), Passive, converts 15% of the damage dealt to enemy non-structure units into health for oneself

The subordinates nodded silently

The soldiers under the wall ignored the casualties above, responding to the orders to continue advancing one after another

Waaah—Waaah—Waaah

However, defending a city inherently possesses a natural geographical advantage over attacking forces

Alas, the soldiers are despicable; those warriors have already...

Seeing his subordinate hesitating to speak, Zhu Jun inquired

The banners of the Han army fluttered in the wind, and at the front of the ranks was an officer clad in armor, riding a tall steed and raising his whip to give commands

At this time, outside the city, the commander Zhu Jun, upon witnessing the significant casualties suffered by the attacking troops, ordered the sounding of the retreat signal and the withdrawal of the troops

From Jingzhou Nanyang to this place, we instantly arrived from the riverside to the wilderness; each of us has become 10 years younger, and is this not even more absurd

If you have anything else to say, feel free to express it

Hehe, that is the influence of the young master's leadership at work

... ... ''

You say this place is from the end of the Qin Dynasty, yet you expect us to believe such absurdity. Zhu Jun frowned as he raised his whip

To advance from level 3 to level 4, 400 experience points are required

The so-called spear bearer is merely a wooden stick with a spearhead attached to the front, while the so-called sword and shield bearer has a shield made of a wooden board and a sword formed by two wooden strips clamping a piece of iron sheet

Han Xin gently stroked the nonexistent beard on his chin to conceal his nervousness, feigning calmness as he spoke

Kill, give me a kill, Du Yuan you hold on first, I will be right back

When Han Xin's level exceeded 4, the number of soldiers under his command had increased to 900

"Hmm." Han Xin nodded.

Suddenly, Liao Hua saw the familiar figures of the soldiers ahead who were being slaughtered.

As soon as the words were spoken, those with quick reflexes had already reacted

Whenever they puncture someone, they immediately feel a warm current flowing through their heart, instantly replenishing their energy

Military Strength: 11

Liao Hua did not dare to delay and hurriedly ran towards Han Xin. Before he arrived, his voice had already reached: "What orders do you have, my lord"

Liao Hua, who had too much confidence in Han Xin, could not see at all that Han Xin was putting on airs, and immediately responded upon hearing this

The sound of the horn echoed as the officials and soldiers marched in orderly steps towards the city wall, with several soldiers in front carrying ladders.

Experience: 0200

"What are you still babbling about? Hurry up and assign someone over here," Han Xin said impatiently

At this moment, Han Xin suddenly realized that something was amiss

Soon, Han Xin's army increased by two hundred men, becoming even more formidable

They are like waves, killing the enemy, gathering strength, and then killing the enemy again, in a continuous cycle.

Yet there had been no casualties under his command, and Han Xin could not help but marvel at the dominance and wonder of the game modifier

The great general is majestic

The front row of sword and shield bearers crouched on the ground, holding wooden shields, with the wooden shields pressed against each other. Aside from the irregularities of the wooden shields, they effectively blocked the gaps.

The officers and soldiers quickly set up the siege ladder while shouting, beginning the assault on the city

At this moment, the opposing side can rely on the Yellow Turban rabble to confront an enemy force that is several times greater than their own

Name: Han Xin

These 900 individuals are capable of enhancing their synergy and can be enveloped by the life-steal aura skill

As the saying goes, when a person reaches a thousand, they connect with the earth and the sky; when a person reaches ten thousand, there are no boundaries or limits

Politics: 11

Level: 1

However, Han Xin's army is also growing exponentially.

A large red character "Zhu" is inscribed on the flag beside, with strokes that are vigorous and powerful

"Yes, my lord." Liao Hua sincerely clasped his fists in salute.

He was momentarily stunned, stammering, "Your Excellency truly deserves the title of the Eternal God of War, your skills are extraordinary"

Intelligence: 11

Liao Hua awkwardly interrupted Han Xin, saying, "My lord, we in the Yellow Turban only have spear and sword-and-shield soldiers, and no archers."

This inevitably weighs heavily on their minds

Alright, alright, that's it, damn it.

Great Sir, this place is Huaiyin

Han Xin saw that outside the city walls, the soldiers of the Han Dynasty were arranged in rows, a sea of dark heads.

Liao Hua, Liao Hua, where are you

Thus, kill the enemy, kill the enemy, and kill the enemy again; upgrade, upgrade, and upgrade again

Ding ding ding

Ding dong, congratulations on your successful upgrade

Indeed, I have the eternal war god, Han Xin, with the *illustrated* books here

He had to admit that what his subordinate said was reasonable

Wow, there are so many people

Kill

"Brave soldiers, does anyone know why the Yellow Turban bandits have suddenly become so valiant in battle"

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the venue

Liao Hua looked at Han Xin with great anticipation, as if to say, "My lord, you are now our leader; it is your turn to take action."

Yes, first send me a squad of soldiers, fifty sword and shield bearers and fifty archers, let me practice a bit, oh no, let me see how strong your combat abilities are

Looking again at my arms, which have shed the age spots and become strong and powerful

Zhu Jun rode his horse in a circle, his expression grave as he said: "You mean the Marquis of Huaiyin, Han Xin"

He complied, but he was puzzled as to why Han Xin did not command everyone, instead opting to gradually increase the number of personnel

Han Xin observed that the Yellow Turban soldiers on the city wall were so frightened that their faces turned pale, yet he spoke with the ease of an outsider.

However, that evening, Zhu Jun personally wrote two letters and had his trusted subordinate deliver them through the portal.

You can leave quickly, with me here you need not worry

To advance from level 1 to level 2, 200 experience points are required, which necessitates defeating 200 minions.

Naturally, the speed and efficiency of killing enemies have become more rapid

Han Xin shouted encouragement behind them from time to time, occasionally checking the game system to calculate how many more kills were needed to level up

In an instant, the atmosphere became tense

Ask me what to do, I am just a counterfeit Han Xin, how would I know what to do

Han Xin summoned the game system, watching as the experience points required for the upgrade slowly approached 100. He clenched his fists, his face filled with excitement

Having just personally experienced the encounter with the other party

After some thought, he continued: "Order the sword and shield bearers to position their shields in front, with the archers behind to provide cover fire. The injured soldiers will take turns coming down to shoot arrows at the enemy soldiers outside the city."

He brought news about the portal to Huangfu Song, who was on his way to Dongjun, as well as to the emperor in Luoyang

Behind him, Han Xin looked at the system panel as his experience points instantly increased by 20, and he exclaimed excitedly

Han Xin looked at the four dimensions. Apart from an increase of 2 points in command, the other attributes—military strength, intelligence, and politics—each increased by 1 point. Additionally, skill power increased by 50, and vitality also increased by 50, leading to a greedy thought.

"Great General, do you still remember the news from the intelligence report?" someone suddenly spoke from below

Commander: 12

Fearful as it may be, it is undeniable that in this era, there is no escaping it

In fact, Liao Hua was also affected by this oppressive atmosphere, causing his heart to race. However, seeing Han Xin beside him looking relaxed brought him some comfort

The call of Han Xin echoed in his ears, as Liao Hua, leading the charge, fiercely repelled the soldiers. He turned to a similarly young Yellow Turban soldier beside him and said

Technology

The Yellow Turban soldiers bravely fought the enemy in the front lines, killing with great pleasure

The morale on the field has improved

Han Xin can only hint at playing a game, operating in the same manner as in previous games

Han Xin forced himself to calm down. He opened the game system, glanced at his command value, and then looked at his skill: Bloodsucking Aura

What shall we do next, sir

In an instant, a hole was pierced through the soldiers.

Character Attributes

Focusing solely on the area guarded by the troops led by Han Xin, without considering other locations

The rear spear bearers extended their spears through the gaps in the wooden shields. As soon as the soldiers below the city wall poked their heads out from the ladders, they thrust their spears forward

To advance from level 2 to level 3, 300 experience points are required

Unbeknownst to him, in the eyes of the soldiers besieging below, he was also considered a member of the Yellow Turban Army
