In his previous life, when these individuals initiated the riot and effectively lost tens of thousands of soldiers while manipulating public opinion, their objectives had already been accomplished.

Despite the heavy casualties suffered by the soldiers, those who perished on their side were the civilians hastily gathered at the last minute.

Their own soldiers emerged unscathed.

Consequently, when the soldiers assaulted the castle, they promptly abandoned it, retreating safely through a secret passage. Preserving their strength took precedence.

Subsequently, they relocated to another location and replicated the scenario from Three Flowers County.

In this current existence, Qin Silong would not permit a repeat of such actions!

They were the instigators of this riot, and he intended for them to face the consequences.

The soldiers rested on the spot, burying a pot to prepare a meal.

True to his word, Qin Silong provided cured meat for the breakfast.

By the time they finished eating, the sky had already brightened.

Soon, twelve long ladders, the same ones used in the castle attack, were brought forward.

The castle guards scoffed at the sight.

“You still think you can breach our castle with these short ladders!”

“Don’t make us laugh!”

“Open your eyes and behold the height of our fortress.”

“Using these shoddy ladders to invade our castle? Dream on!”

This psychological ploy aimed to demoralize the enemy had already taken effect before the actual assault, suppressing the soldiers’ morale. Qin Silong instructed the soldiers to pay no heed to the taunts.

“We can capture the castle in one decisive move!”

After a while, the castle guards observed the soldiers linking two long ladders with special iron nails, transforming them into an exceptionally extended ladder.

This extended ladder nearly matched the height of the castle wall.

Nevertheless, the guards on the castle continued to scoff.

“Do you believe that connecting two ladders will enable you to reach our city wall?”

“The real question is, how do you plan to breach the city wall?”

“Take a look at our moat. It’s wide and deep. Can you cross it without a suspension bridge?”

“Hahaha, not a chance!”

“Let me ask you, how many of you are adept swimmers? But let me warn you, forget about swimming over. There are flesh-eating fish in the water, not to mention soul-stealing Water Ghosts! ”

“I suggest you retreat promptly and bring over 100,000 soldiers. Only then might you have enough corpses to fill our moat. Otherwise, crossing it will be beyond your reach!”

The soldiers seethed with anger.

Nevertheless, Qin Silong counseled them, “The enemy is trying to play mind games with us. Ignore their words. Don’t let them manipulate your emotions.” “Believe that we possess a strategy to capture the castle decisively!”

Observing their commander’s composed demeanor, the soldiers gradually regained their composure.

Qin Silong consistently infused them with hope.contemporary romance

Many among the soldiers knew Qin Silong well. It was widely rumored in the army that Qin Silong possessed extraordinary luck, capable of bringing good fortune not only to himself but also to those around him.

As long as he led, victory and honor were assured.

Successfully completing a mission was never a concern for him.

Furthermore, his comrades, too, consistently emerged unharmed.

The assault on the entrance the previous night served as a clear illustration.

They triumphed against an opposing force of nearly 10,000 soldiers.

The enemy suffered a loss of at least 5,000 troops, while the soldiers’ casualties numbered around 500.

This approximate count was compiled by various centurions.

Qin Silong seemed akin to a deity of luck, a guardian to those under his command.

Under his guidance, they could trust that no harm would befall them..
