Chapter 33: The Tragic Siege

"Tebar, I think it's better to let the Great Food Warriors repair and attack the city."

Seeing that Tebal directly gave the siege order, Didis couldn't help but interject.

In his heart, he secretly cursed Tebal, "Idiot! ”

The Great Eclipse cavalry has been on the road for several days, and they are already a little tired, and they are attacking the city at this moment, doesn't this want the Great Eclipse warriors to increase casualties in vain?

"Didis, do you think my big warriors are all scared cowards like you?"

"Ben will tell you that the little Ningyuan City can't stop my Great Food Warrior!"

"Ben still has the task given by Marshal Talam, how can he waste time here."

Tebal's face was not good-looking, and his eyes looked at Didis cold and merciless.

If it weren't for this siege, Didis would still be of some use, and Tebar would have ordered Didis to be killed long ago.

"You...... Don't overdo it! ”

Didis was angry, and Tebar even exposed his shortcomings and insulted him as a coward, which was an absolute insult to the Great Food Warriors.

But.

Didis thought of the marshal's order again, and he forcibly stifled the anger in his stomach.

I could only watch the warriors of the front army ride their horses to a sharp stop, overturn the car and dismount, take the siege equipment sent by the rear army, and begin to prepare for the charge.

Above the tower of Ningyuan City, Li Yi, who also saw this scene, raised his eyebrows.

Because he saw the people of the Tang Dynasty who were enslaved after the Great Eclipse.

All of them were in rags, and behind the army of the Great Eclipse, like walking corpses, they were cultivating tents for the Great Eclipse Wool Animals.

Li Yi, who was standing on the city tower, clenched his two small fists tightly.

He was furious.

His killing intent skyrocketed, and he hated to kill among the Great Food Cavalry and rescue the enslaved people of the Tang Dynasty.

But he was helpless.

Because he can't do it for the time being, he can only watch......

"Great Food Warriors, ahead is Ningyuan City!"

"As long as whoever is the first to storm the tower, Ben General Tebar will personally go to Marshal Tarum and ask for credit for him, Fuyan family!"

In a short time, the 30,000 siege troops of Dashi had been prepared, and Tebalzer immediately stepped forward, raised the spear in his hand, and excited!

"Warriors, charge me for the sake of the great food!"

Then, Tebal gave an order!

The 30,000 siege troops began to roar and roar, and rushed towards Ningyuan City frantically.

"Kill!"

"For the beauty, food, rush!"

“……”

The earth-shattering shouts of killing echoed in the sky above Ningyuan City.

"Archer prepare!"

"Don't panic, calm down, and throw arrows within two hundred meters."

Wu Jiang held a Mo knife in his hand, walked quickly on the top of the city tower, and kept shouting in his mouth to stabilize the archer's mentality.

Because as long as an arrow feather is shot out by mistake, it is like breaking the nerves of all the archers, and they subconsciously throw the arrow feathers in their hands.

In this case, it will be a huge loss for the already small number of arrows.

"Command the rear army, launch the trebuchet, and cover my big warriors!"

Tebal saw that the 30,000 siege troops were about to approach Ningyuan City, and immediately issued an order.

Soon the herald rode away and drank!

"Trebuchet ready, put!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

Three large catapults, quickly loaded with oil fireballs, were thrown out by the Great Food Soldiers, making a loud noise.

"Everyone dodge, bow your head, bow your head!"

"The shield team stepped forward to protect the archers!"

Li Yi jumped off the chair with his calf and shouted everywhere in the city tower!

In fact, there was no need for him to give an order, Wu Jiang and the flag officers commanding from various places had already issued orders for defense.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

Three fireballs thrown by the trebuchet suddenly hit the castle tower and exploded.

Countless fireoil were splashed.

"Ah......h

"It's hot, it's hot, save me ......"

Suddenly, there were more than a dozen soldiers on the city tower who had no time to dodge, and their robes were hit by the flying fire oil and burst into flames.

"Fire brigade, quick, get snow to extinguish the flames!"

Although the oil was burning everywhere, Ning Yuancheng was fully prepared.

On the spot, a hundred fighting civilians rushed up, carrying the snow in their barrels, and began to extinguish the flames in an orderly manner.

Why not use water?

Because it is a cold winter, extinguishing the flames with water, and soon due to the cold, the ground will freeze, which can easily cause slippage and bring immeasurable losses to the defenders of the city.

But.

When most of them were destroyed, the trebuchet of the Great Eclipse rang out again, and three fireballs flew into the air.

And the 30,000 siege troops below have also rushed within two hundred meters of Ningyuan City.

"The shield team defends, and the archers are silent, and they start throwing arrow feathers!"

"The fire brigade is ready to fight the fire at any time!"

There was another roar from all over Ningyuan City.

Wu Jiang and others never stopped.

"Whew! Shout! Shout! ”

Ten counted, and the archer shot the first round of arrows.

"Command, archers shoot indiscriminately!"

Seeing this, Li Yi yelled everywhere again.

Fortunately, he ordered people to use bamboo tubes to make simple microphones, leading to all parts of the city tower, otherwise there would be all kinds of sounds everywhere at this time.

He just shouted in his throat, and only the people around him could hear it.

"Ah......h

"Arrow Feather, Arrow Feather is coming, defense, defense!"

"Damn, shit!"

The Great Eclipse siege troops, which were already within 100 meters, were suddenly shot by the arrows that poured down, and let out a terrible scream.

There were only a few shields of the big food soldiers, Xin was spared.

Ning Yuancheng's archers had already shot fifteen rounds of arrows, and their arms were sore and painful at the moment, and the hands holding the bows and arrows trembled slightly.

At this moment, the Great Eclipse Cavalry had already come to the bottom of the Ningyuan City Tower, and began to build a long ladder and climb to the top of the City Tower.

"The archers stand aside and rest for a moment."

"The rest of you, give me a thunder stone and a rolling log!"

"Don't let the big eaters go up to the castle!"

The archers listened to the order, immediately put away their bows and arrows, and retreated from the tower.

At this moment, the remaining 3,000 soldiers (the people who can fight in Ningyuan City, plus the soldiers who defend it), all picked up the thunder stone, rolled the wood and smashed it towards the city tower.

"Ah......h

"My Head ......"

"My Hand ......"

The Great Food Siege Army, which had just climbed the long ladder, was hit by falling rolling stones and broke their heads and blood, and their hands and feet were broken.

Blood splattered, staining the ground and walls red.

"Wu Jiang, send someone to prepare the golden juice and take it to the city tower!"

"Zhang Qiguan, send someone to prepare cold water!"

Li Yi stood on the chair and commanded everywhere.

And Xu Zhu stood in front of him to protect.

Hu San led He Mingshan's brothers, guarding the side of the city tower, and smashed the big food siege troops under the city with rolling logs.

Only Qing Wu stayed by Li Yi's side, sometimes helping him convey orders to the city!

The offensive and defensive battles continued.

Time passed minute by minute.

It was nearly dusk.

Among them, Tebal dispatched 5,000 cannibal cavalry, rode his horse to a short distance from Ningyuan City, and threw bows and arrows!

As a result, the casualties in Ningyuan City increased greatly.

In just half a day, the casualties of the soldiers of Ningyuan City exceeded 800.

But.

There were 30,000 siege troops in the Great Eclipse, and nearly 10,000 were killed or wounded.
