I turned to a soldier on horse behind me, as I spoke to him.

  "Inform my Lieutenants of the following: They are to form turtles behind the siege tower. Use it as cover, but keep the formation. I want zero casualties until we reach the walls." I said, and the messenger nodded. Riding off.

  Now, I just had to wait for my lieutenants to finish their job. And luckily, the siege tower was slower than us.

  It took an additional 2 minutes for them to reach me, and we began marching at that.

  The Hi Shin Force and the Le Hua Force were still standing in the reserves, perhaps shocked at the revelation of a siege tower. Or awaiting, to see its purpose and effect.

  But I had no desire to do so, and we rushed forth. Running to the siege tower.

  As we entered the range of their archers, a few of whom were shooting into the dark, due to the smoke coming from the burned carriages, apparently Ou Hon, the spear guy, had set them on fire, creating a wall of black smoke. Hiding the siege tower and our troops from the archers.

  Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

  We quickly reached the siege tower. Whereas we formed the turtle behind the siege tower, covering our top, front, and sides. Leaving the back open.

  However, I stepped out as I walked onto the Siege Tower, whereas Ou Hon stood. His eyes narrowed at my appearance.

  "What are you doing?" He asked me, his arms crossed.

  "Backing you up," I said with a smile, one which he didn't return.

  "I do not require your assistance." Was his simple response, but we both knew the truth.

  "Sure, you'll just take a wall with 300 men. Either way, we′re here to help. Whether you like it or not, and if you allow it. I′d like to take my 15 best men to the frontlines, they are elites from Duke Hyou′s army." I said, Hon′s eyes widened slightly, but he quickly regained himself.

  "Fine." He simply said. Furiously enough.

  "That we do."

  And with that, I turned around. And I couldn't help but smile slightly. As much as I′d want to fight on the walls with my entire might, I knew that was not Ou Hon's goal, he was after the walls.

  I had watched the Kingdom show in my previous life, and though I didn′t have a perfect memory, I was sort of aware of the events. And luckily, that would come to help me out today.

  I jumped down, and into the turtle formation, walking up to my 4 lieutenants.

  "Alright, so we′ll be switching up our strategy slightly." I said, as all 4 of them turned to me.

  "I doubt Ou Hon desires to take the commander's head, nor the wall. So he has another plan, most likely to use ropes to climb down from the wall, and open the gate. Which means, we won't be caught up there without any glory." I said, the eyes of the 4 of them widened.

  "Ishiro, Kaen and Hozu. You will take 15 men and join me in the siege tower. Meanwhile, Rozu. You'll remain down here with the remaining 285 men. I′ll give you a signal, and when I do. Charge towards the gates." I said, and they all nodded.

  "Alright, good. Let's move." I said, and with that. We began moving, taking 15 men with us as we began climbing the tower, and I kept my sword ready.
