Chapter 586: Chapter 586: Crushing Defeat (2)_1

Fortunately, the method of extracting costly oil was known only to the princess’s people. Situ Gong and Luo Heng felt a wave of relief when they thought about it.

If everyone knew this method, they would really fear that everyone in the streets would be consuming costly oil.

Lin Ziyin came out too, closely followed by Jue Hui and others.

Chu Suifeng was worried about her. During the war, she was not allowed to go out for fear of danger. After all, the time when the two armies were fighting was the most chaotic in the city.

Moreover, there were cunning people within the Border City, both spies from the North Country and people from various paths of Daqin.

Chu Suifeng wasn’t sure that Lin Ziyin would be safe within the city, and in reality, he never dared to gamble on issues concerning Lin Ziyin’s personal safety.

But the shrewd Prince did not realize that Lin Ziyin was not a "well-behaved" canary.

Considering that the labor of the entire city was involved in the battle, could Lin Ziyin afford to sit idle in the Residence?

Luckily, she also knew that the situation was special and did not allow for any negligence. When going out, she always took enough people with her.

So at the moment, Lin Ziyin was busy directing the city’s residents to transport stones with Xiao Yang at the bottom of the city wall.

Situ Gong was an incredible strategist. He was far-sighted and meticulous in his thinking. Before the war between the North Country and the Northern Land had begun, he and Chu Suifeng had, according to the peculiar geographical location of the Border City, let every household stack large quantities of stones at the base of their walls.

As long as the enemy attacked the city, after the stones prepared under the city wall were used up, the people could transport the stones from here.

"People and carts coming should stick to the right two lanes, and people and carts going out should stick to the left. The people stay at the edges, the carts in the middle." Lin Ziyin was a woman, surely lacking strength, which meant she couldn’t handle heavy tasks. But she was great at finding things to do. She took the initiative to find things to keep busy with, never idling around.

The strong people of the city all gathered on this side of North City, and the spacious streets immediately became crowded.

Because people came to work, which required the transportation of stones, tools were naturally required. The crowd slowed down due to the congestion.

Xiao Yang’s worry on one side was no use.

However, the method Lin Ziyin used to alleviate the congestion immediately solved the problem. Everyone followed her command, and the flow of people immediately became smooth.

In this way, the process of transporting stones to the city wall speeded up immediately.

The hot oil on the city wall just ran out, and the stones were immediately supplied.

General Bayal and Billy could only watch as the soldiers of the North Country got injured.

"We cannot attack any further." Seeing groups of soldiers with skin and flesh stripped off by the hot oil, and then seeing groups of injured soldiers with bloody heads, Bayal could not remain calm anymore.

"General Bayal, we have already attacked to the bottom of the city, there is no reason to retreat now." Billy disagreed with the Chief Commander’s opinion.

"National Teacher, if we do not stop the siege now, the number of our casualties will continue to increase." Bayal’s eyes turned red.

"Keep attacking the city." Billy coldly gave the order.

"National Master, I am the Chief Commander of the North Country." Bayal’s eyes reddened. This was the first time he, as a Chief Commander, disagreed with Billy who was the National Teacher. "Sound the gold for retreat immediately."

"Hold on for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn." Billy stared at Bayal for a long time with cold eyes, but Bayal didn’t show any signs of retreating. In the end, he had to choose to step back.

"Fine, only for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn." Billy stepped back, Bayal didn’t want to make the situation worse either, so he also chose to step back.

"Wait, let the soldiers attacking the city carry the bodies of the dead on their backs." Billy observed for a moment and suddenly had an idea.
