Universe Storage Box

A fierce battle of offense and defense began. Because of Ge Rui's promise, all of a sudden, their morale was high, and they wanted to charge into the city. However, the morale of the defending side was even higher. One of the reasons was because... They had been oppressed by the Imperial Court for a long time, and now they had the chance to take revenge. Naturally, they would not be lenient. Another reason was that... They also knew that they were doing a beheading business. Once the city was breached, all of them... None of them would have a good end. All of them had no other choice. All they could do was fight with their lives on the line, not allowing the enemy to breach the city.    

    

The morale of both sides was very high. The defending troops in the city had poor equipment and weapons. They could not be compared to the regular troops outside the city, but they were defending the city. They had the geographical advantage, so in a short period of time, both sides were evenly matched. There was no winner or loser. Although the attackers could occasionally climb up the city walls, however, they would soon be taken down by the defending troops in the city.    

    

Seeing the sky getting darker and darker, although Ge Rui was anxious in his heart, he could only withdraw his troops and fight the next day.    

    

"Damn it, they finally retreated!" Standing on top of the city wall, Leader Qiu looked at the densely-packed soldiers outside the city disappearing like the tide. He touched the blood on his face and said.    

    

When the war was in an emergency just now, even he personally went to battle. His martial arts skills were originally higher than those of the ordinary peasants, and coupled with his identity as the leader, thus, if he personally fought, it would still be able to significantly increase everyone's combat strength.    

    

"That's right. The army of the Imperial Court is indeed different. It's said that they don't have much combat strength. However, their strength isn't weak at all." A person beside him said.    

    

"It's also because they are facing us farmers that they are fighting so bravely. Why don't you try throwing them to the battlefield in the north? I guarantee that they will escape faster than anyone else. Bah, damn it! These guys only know how to fight in their nests." Someone said disdainfully.    

    

This was the truth. The imperial court's army had been continuously defeated in the northern battlefield. They were completely on the defensive. Even so, many times, they were unable to defend. At this moment, many cities had already been occupied by the Purple Wind Empire.    

    

However, these soldiers did not dare to fight with the armies of other countries. However, they were not afraid of the Rebellion Army that suppressed their own country. Thus, they naturally displayed some of their strength.    

    

Leader Qiu looked at the enemy troops outside the city and frowned. He realized that he had underestimated the strength of the imperial court's army. Although their strength had been severely reduced, the battle with the Purple Wind Empire... It was also because they won less and lost more, but to fight against the farmers that he had led... They still had an advantage.    

    

Of course, this was also related to the strength of his troops. Most of the people under him were farmers before. They had not undergone any training at all. Furthermore, weapons and whatnot... They were also very lacking, and many of them were still fighting with farming tools. What kind of strength could such a team have?    

    

It was a miracle that they were able to take down the county previously.    

    

However, Leader Qiu would not just sit and wait for death. He knew what he was doing now. Once he was caught, the others would have a chance to surrender and live. However, as the leader, the other party would never let him go.    

    

Thus, he had to think of a way to repel these enemies in front of him as soon as possible.    

    

The soldiers outside the city were already setting up camp one after another. Looking at the enemy's scattered military camp, Leader Qiu's eyes lit up. He felt that he had found another opportunity.    

    

"Old Chu, let everyone eat and rest first. Pick the elites at night and follow me out of the city." Leader Qiu said to the people around him.    

    

"Leave the city? Why do you want to leave the city?" Old Chu asked doubtfully. Previously, he was also inclined to fight with the other party. However, after the previous battle, he also understood. There was still a gap between them and the other party, even with the help of the city walls. They had also fought very hard. If they left the city now, wouldn't they be courting death?    

    

"Of course it's killing people. Alright, let's not worry about that for now. You'll know when the time comes." Leader Qiu said.    

    

"Alright." Old Chu also knew that his brain wasn't that flexible, so he decided not to ask anymore.    

    

"Damn it, I'm so angry, these damn mud legs!"    

    

In his own tent outside the city, Ge Rui was throwing a tantrum. Originally, he thought that once his army arrived, those mud legs who rebelled would obediently surrender. It could also make him famous and let his brother-in-law help him with activities. Perhaps, he could upgrade his official position.    

    

However, he didn't think that those damn fellows in the city would be so arrogant. Not only did they kill the person who shouted at him, they even f * cking leaned against the city wall... Stopping his team from entering the city, the battle had been going on for so long... He still hadn't broken through the city walls, and he had even lost quite a few of his subordinates. This made him extremely angry.    

    

Of course, he could also see that the people in the city were not as strong as the people he had brought. The reason why they were still able to defend was because they relied on their Qi to persist. In his opinion, it was only a matter of time before they broke through the city.    

    

"Men, bring the wine!" Ge Rui, who was feeling somewhat frustrated, shouted out loudly.    

    

Not long after, a soldier came in with a jar of wine. According to the rules, there was a limit to drinking in the military camp. Especially now that it was still in the middle of a battle, it was even more inappropriate to drink. However, Ge Rui clearly didn't care about these things. Usually in the military camp, it wasn't that he didn't do things that were more out of line than this. And his soldiers were already used to it.    

    

Ge Rui slammed the seal on the mud, and a strong aroma of wine immediately drifted out. It did not take long for it to fill the entire tent. Ge Rui closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Immediately, his face was filled with an intoxicated feeling. Even before he drank it, he felt as if he was floating in the air.    

    

"Good wine, this is really good wine. Such a good wine is simply a waste in front of that old man." Ge Rui said.    

    

It turned out that this bottle of wine was not bought by him, but snatched from him. On his way here, he passed by a small county. At that time, he accidentally discovered that an old man had actually brewed such a good wine. He was also greatly moved, because the Imperial Court stipulated that private people were not allowed to sell wine. Thus... He... With this excuse, he went straight to the old man... He snatched the wine that had already been brewed, and that wasn't all... He even forced the other party to hand over the formula. Clearly, he did not want to just drink it once.    

    

The old man had been beaten to death in the process of fighting with his subordinates. Ge Rui did not care about killing an ordinary person. This was not a big deal. He only cared about what he had obtained.
