Chapter 1029 At War (1/2)
Just as Yun Shang was about to figure it out, another thunder shot down from the sky. Yun Shang turned to Pei Lan and asked, ”What was that sound just now?”
Pei Lan was still in a state of shock and said, ”I don't know.”
Yun Shang immediately ordered a secret guard, ”Go and check what the sound was just now. See how the battle is going on, and report it quickly.”
The secret guard received the order and left in a hurry.
Later Yun Shang heard several similar sounds, but they were louder and louder.
Yun Shang kept silent for a while before she came to her senses. She frowned and said remorsefully, ”Why did I forget to ask him to send an umbrella to his majesty? Or just a raincoat is good. ”
Hearing this, Pei Lan was about to say something, when she heard Yun Shang say in a low voice, ”Forget it. With his Majesty's temperament, I'm afraid he won't use it even if I send it to him. With so many soldiers in the rain, how could he be willing to hide under the umbrella alone? ”
As soon as Yun Shang finished speaking, she looked up at the sky where lightning rumbled. She pursed her lips and turned back to her room.
An hour later, the secret guard came to report. It was still raining outside, and the secret guard was completely wet. He raised his hand to wipe the rain off his face and reported, ”Master, it's the sound of Yelang's army pounding at the gate of our city with giant logs.”
The brush in Yun Shang's hand suddenly fell on the paper, and the ink immediately dispersed. She asked, ”The army of the the State of Yelang has already launched their attack at the city?”
The secret guard nodded slightly with a serious look in his eyes, ”But it shouldn't be dangerous now. The city wall is full of our archers. The soldiers of the State of Yelang who came to attack the city gate suffered heavy casualties.”
Yun Shang smiled bitterly, ”Our bows and arrows are limited, and I'm afraid they won't last long. Send more secret guards for further exploration. If there is any news, report it quickly.”
”Yes, Master!” The secret guard answered in a sonorous and powerful voice, and then he quickly left the study.
Things seemed to be much worse than Yun Shang had expected, but she always felt that the battle shouldn't have ended like this since Luo Qingyan was there.
”Report! The enemy has already set up a ladder and is about to climb over the wall to enter.”
”Report, there are less than ten thousand arrows left in our bowmen's hands. We are soon running out of arrows.”
Yun Shang was not in the mood to keep on reading. She sat still on the chair as if she was frozen. She was extremely anxious, but she knew very well that she was Luo Qingyan's weakness. She couldn't put herself in danger, or it would affect Luo Qingyan.
