Bloodshed in the Lonely City

The strengths and weaknesses of both sides were evident in the sunlight.

One side had the advantage in numbers, while the other relied on the fortified city walls.

It was difficult to determine who would emerge victorious.

Perhaps both sides still held hidden cards, which they would not reveal until the final moment.

Nangong Yu raised a headache-inducing question troubling everyone: What should they do if the enemy’s ramming vehicles approached the city gates?

It was a blind spot in their defense, where arrows couldn’t reach and rolling logs and stones couldn’t attack.

Upon hearing this, Lu Suifeng quickly devised a concise and effective solution.

They would place large furnaces on each gate tower and fill them with boiling oil.

When the ramming vehicles approached the city gates, they would pour the oil directly onto them.

The result was self-evident.

With this simple tactic, they resolved the long-standing problem that had perplexed everyone.
