Chapter 51 Destroy the enemy defense tower (1)

Is it destined that people will be unable to escape the fate of being bound by worldly conventions throughout their lives?
Just like him? Although he had aspired to be a skilled and compassionate doctor since he was young, after several years, he was finally forced to join the legion as a soldier due to the pressure of the world.

Why does it become like this?
On the towering tower, Yu Jin, as usual, was lying alone on the guardrail made of rock bricks, staring at the sky in a daze, lost in thought.

"Look at your uncle Zhao's child. He is so young and already a sergeant in our Wei army!"

"What's the point of reading these useless medical books all day? I don't think you can earn anything for your family by learning these medical skills!"

"Seeing you stay at home doing nothing all day, your father and I are too embarrassed to go out and see people!"

"Hey, why can't you be like the young people your age?"

“We are all doing this for your own good.”

Yu Jin still remembers his parents’ nagging words and the resentful expressions on their faces, showing their disappointment in their parents’ lives.

"I'm sorry, my family has arranged a marriage for me. The other party is a squad leader in our Wei army. I heard that he is recognized as the soldier with the greatest chance of being promoted to a hero."

And the words that the woman I once loved deeply said before she left.

Yu Jin didn't blame them.

But he just couldn't figure it out; as a human being, does it mean that one must succumb to the secular trend to be right?

Fight for glory, to become the next hero?
That's their business!

Everyone has his own interests and ambitions. Why can't he follow his own path according to his own wishes?
what.

This is a fucked up world!

Yu Jin closed his eyes in pain.

He turned around and looked at the five soldiers in black armor behind him. They were his teammates and his seniors. Although they had served for half a year, Yu Jin was still the youngest recruit in the team.

At this time, the seniors were sitting together and whispering about all kinds of dirty things. In the vagueness, it seemed that the topic was related to one of the heroes of their Wei State, the Goddess of Luo River Zhen Ji. Yu Jin did not want to know these things, nor did he care how graceful Zhen Ji's figure was. What he cared about more was their attitude of dereliction of duty.

"Senior, is it really okay to be so leisurely? What if the Kingdom of Shu invades?" Yu Jin couldn't help but ask.

"I have been stationed at the First Defense Tower for such a long time, and it is not your turn as a new soldier to tell me these things!" The captain of the soldiers guarding the tower frowned unhappily, and seemed very dissatisfied with the interruption that spoiled the mood. He pointed to the turret operating table on the side and said in a condescending manner: "If Shu dares to invade, I will use this turret to teach them a lesson! Why do you have to worry about it?"

Ok.

Having been frustrated, Yu Jin could only give up silently.

He didn't like these arrogant seniors, and he didn't like this kind of life even more. If possible, he would throw worldly prejudices into the cesspool, then leave the legion and live freely according to his own wishes.

In fact, this was not the first time Yu Jin had such an idea, but like many people, although he was determined, he was always hindered by the eyes of those around him and did not have the courage to act.

He sighed softly, not knowing whether it was for himself or because he was helpless about this worldly world. Finally, Yu Jin turned his gaze to the turret fixed on the edge of the tower; this was the only thing that interested him in this position.

This turret is made of pure metal and weighs at least a thousand pounds, but a pulley similar to a disc is cleverly set underneath. As long as you grasp the two handles on the turret, you can easily move the muzzle at will. It is an extremely ingenious creation.

But what really interested Yu Jin was the magical mechanism of the turret that allowed for uninterrupted output.

As a tower guard, he had heard from his predecessors that a rare energy crystal was placed inside the complex and sophisticated interior of the turret. It was this crystal that provided the turret with a constant supply of energy, allowing the defense tower to launch unlimited attack outputs.

It was even heard that energy crystals were coveted by rulers of various countries. As for the reason, Yu Jin, as a small soldier, had no idea.

He was not interested in knowing. He was more interested in this artillery; he had been stationed in the first defense tower for half a year, but he had never operated the artillery even once. Whenever the enemy attacked, it was the seniors who operated the artillery themselves.

He is not qualified to touch such a high-end divine object.

Every time Yu Jin saw his predecessors moving the artillery majestically and annihilating all the invading enemies, he could not help but feel envious.

It would be nice to be able to operate the turret myself someday.

However, the seniors would not agree. In the canyon, every time you kill an enemy, you can get rewards and promotions from the higher-ups as a military merit. This is very tempting for a lowly soldier who earns less than one gold coin a month. Especially for a good job like this where you can destroy a team in an instant with the help of a turret, the mean seniors would never give it up.

Maybe one day, when all these alcoholic and gambling-addicted predecessors are dead, he will have the opportunity to operate the turret.

Yu Jin cast his gaze into the distance, thinking maliciously in his heart. And in the dark, as if it was a trick of fate, he saw a strange scene almost at the same time.

The originally empty loess plain was covered by a large area of ​​blue at some point. From a distance, it looked like a fierce blue tide.

Is that water?
Has the water in the river spread out?
Yu Jin couldn't help but squint his eyes and look carefully, and then a trace of fear suddenly appeared on his face.

No, that's not a tide at all—

That was a huge army composed of countless blue soldiers from Shu Kingdom!

"Enemy attack!!" Yu Jin shouted.

His voice was so loud because of fear that even the garrison troops far away under the defense tower were alarmed.

According to Yu Jin's estimation, the Shu Kingdom's blue soldiers that formed the tide had to have at least a thousand people, otherwise such a terrifying scene would not have been formed, not to mention the five siege artillery vehicles following far behind the blue tide!

The Shu Kingdom is coming to attack the tower!
The wind blowing in his face, mixed with the roar of a wild beast, made Yu Jin's face turn pale. He had experienced enemy attacks before, but this was the first time he had seen one on such a terrifying scale.

"Why are there so many blue soldiers from Shu?!"

"These damn rats actually attacked the tower while our heroes were away!"

"Damn it! How could this happen! Didn't the superiors say that Shu Kingdom would not attack the tower?"

Yu Jin's senior teammates came over cursing. The burly captain gripped the handle of the turret and pulled hard, his muscles bulging. Amid the rumbling sound of the pulley, he pointed the muzzle of the cannon viciously at the rapidly approaching Shu army.

Inside the fort, amid the strange sounds of countless precision instruments interacting with each other—

boom!
The brick guardrail shook violently, and at the same time, a mushroom cloud mixed with flames rose in front of the blue tide.

Even from a distance, Yu Jin could see that the deadly flames instantly engulfed four Shu blue soldiers, and many of the soldiers around the explosion point were also blown away by the aftershocks!

In a way, towers are just like heroes, they are an absolute nightmare to minions.

but--

The defense tower's seemingly terrifying attack seemed a little powerless in front of the huge army. It was like throwing a stone at the rising tide. Apart from causing a splash of water, it still could not stop the surge of the tide.

Yu Jin knew that this group of Shu blue soldiers were trying desperately to get closer and destroy the defense tower under his feet!
How to destroy the defense tower?
It's not difficult. Just get close to the defense tower and then use the weapon in your hand to destroy the bottom of the defense tower. The defense tower with a shaken foundation will naturally collapse.

It’s a very simple and crude method, but it’s also the most direct way to destroy the defense tower!
　Merry Christmas; everyone.
