Chapter 1436 Da Yi City’s Defense

Drap! Drap! Drap!

Long Xu led the soldiers behind him and ambushed General Huan's soldiers from the side, his eyes showed a faint surprise. The soldiers under him were specifically trained for ambush and it was also due to this very reason that they could move quickly and intercept.

But looking at the way the battle was fought, General Duan was doing very well in terms of defense.

In just a short few years, General Duan had already upgraded Da Yi City's equipment and built several weapons. Once the use of these things spread, it was estimated that a lot of people would be tempted to use it.

Still...

Bringing a large rock on top of the wall was definitely not easy.

At least, not as easy as using crossbows and bows.

But the damage towards the soldiers from Zhang Xu Kingdom was definitely bigger. Before these people from Zhang Xu Kingdom could use their poison, they were already hammered to death.

Tsk, tsk.

What a pity.

"Charge!"

"YES!"

...

With the assistance from Long Xu, General Huan had no other choice but to retreat. He had lost a lot of soldiers due to the traps that General Duan made along with that damned catapult.

He vowed to protect Da Yi City.

And for him, it was the best option possible to stay here and continued to protect the city. As for attacking Zhang Xu Kingdom, this role could be given to those others who wanted to showcase their ability to the world and not him.

He's already old.

He just wished that he could protect the city he had once failed to protect before.

Long Xu nodded. "I won't stay here for long, but before that, my Master wished to relay some messages to Blacksmith Duan."

Blacksmith Duan, Duan Shang Shao, the second young master of Duan Family, had just climbed down the stairs. Duan Shang Shao looked into the distance and saw his sister rushing towards him.

"Second Brother, why are you participating at the frontline this time?" Duan Shang Shao's sister, Duan Shi Nian, looked at her brother worriedly.

"Shi Nian, what are you doing here? Stay at home, okay?" Duan Shang Shao looked at his sister in surprise.

"The servants said that you're participating in the war. Didn't you say that you don't want to follow Eldest Brother's path?" Duan Shi Nian rolled her eyes.

"Don't worry, it's just this time." Duan Shang Shao smiled reassuringly. He raised his head and saw his father coming with Long Xu. His expression turned serious as he beckoned for his sister to step back.

Duan Shi Nian saw Duan Shang Shao's movement and obediently stepped back. She had little status after returning to Duan Family and could only rely on her second brother, who was also of concubine born.

"Father, Commander Long Xu," Duan Shang Shao cupped his fist and greeted politely.

General Duan nodded. "You did great in your work. Commander Long Xu is here to discuss about some things."

"I know," Duan Shang Shao said mildly.

The relationship between father and son was not really good. As Duan Shang Shao was of concubine born, he was not as favored as his older brother who was designed as the heir. But his older brother often seen him as a threat, so Duan Shang Shao had expressed clearly that he would not enter the military from a young age.

Instead of going to the military, he headed to the workshop and become a small blacksmith, allowing his older brother to rest assured that he would not compete for the position of the family head. It was also because of this decision that he could live well for a long time.

But ever since his older brother lost an arm and his position, General Duan began to 'care' more about this son he usually forgot.
