Chapter 962: Rammed Earth, Broken Stones, and Trembling

Whoa!

The red and white things directly splashed Murong Diao's face, and this sudden change, even this Xianbei Shan Yu, who had experienced all kinds of big battles, was frozen in place for a while.

"How...... How ......"

The loud noise was like thunder, and the sound was like an arrow, as if it had pierced into his ears, and his ears rang, and his mind was even more chaotic, and his head was dizzy, and his feet fluttered, not like he was standing on the ground, but on the splint.

After a stumble, Murong Dian almost fell, but the martial arts foundation he had laid since he was a child still played a role at this time, allowing him to maintain his balance at the last moment.

It's just that this Murong Shan Yu looked at the bloody corpse on the ground in a daze, and opened his mouth to speak, but he couldn't speak.

After all, the brother who had just talked and laughed with him and showed his talents died in a blink of an eye, and he was shocked, besides, Murong Diao had fought all his life, and it was not that he had never seen others die in front of him, but this kind of sudden explosion of death was really unheard of.

It's just that before his thoughts calmed down, let alone understood what was happening in front of him, the horror in his heart instinctively flooded, the reason was that this wall-to-wall bunker, which looked quite solid, had already collapsed in that loud noise, and the stones fell down and smashed directly on Murong Diao's shoulder, causing severe pain!

Whoa!

The stones rained down one after another, screaming all around, and the atmosphere of terror was pervasive and spreading.

In order to be strong, the walls around this tower are specially processed, and they are much thicker than the city wall, and even most of them are stone structures - many of the main parts of the current city wall are not actually carved stones, but are repeatedly compacted with clay, glutinous rice, and soil blocks, and are piled up for the city wall.

However, the expansion of Murong Thorn City has added a lot of stone structures, so that the tower at the head of the wall can be supported, this tower is not high, only one and a half floors, but the stone used is really a lot, in fact, it is very heavy, in those city walls that are not strong enough, the foundation is not real, and the shape is not wide at the bottom and narrow at the top, it cannot stand up at all.

As a result, the heavy wall at the moment became a terrible thing, and after the loud noise, the stones immediately scattered in all directions, the small ones were the size of fists, and the big ones were a few points bigger than a human head.

Under this stone, there is no distinction between high and low, Murong Yun is down, but the heralds who were beside him before, because they were the closest, were all affected, and most of them were pressed by the stones, and the rest were not happy, and they were smashed all over their bodies.

However, at such a critical moment, a few pro-soldiers rushed in instead, smashing stones against them, guarding Murong Diao's side and covering him up.

These are complicated, but in fact, they are just lightning and flint, and in such a short period of time, Murong Diao's body has been smashed with stones and many wounds, if it weren't for the timely arrival of the soldiers, I am afraid that he would have been directly suppressed by a few stones.

But even now, the situation is not optimistic, a few pro-soldiers just arrived, escorting Murong Diao to the outside, there was a chest-sized stone directly down, smashed on the head of a pro-soldier, the head exploded like a watermelon, and then the stone rolled down on the leg of the person next to him, after a miserable scream, the man fell to the ground, although he struggled, it was difficult to get up.

When the other soldiers around saw it, they were inevitably afraid, but they still endured their fear, walked and hid, held their breath, and finally took Murong Diao out of the originally safe "fortress".

"What the hell is going on?"

At this time, Murong Diao took a deep breath, suppressed the horror and horror in his heart, and asked, his body was already covered with bruises, looking back at the collapsed tower, with a complicated expression on his face, but no one answered his question at all, because many soldiers on the city wall outside were also screaming, roaring, and wailing.

In addition, there were many people in the breaches of the wall, but they were not trying to fight, but they were fleeing towards the city.

"Flee without a fight? This group of people ......"

The ringing in Murong Diao's ears had not yet dissipated, and his eyes were even darker, but his thoughts gradually calmed down, and he finally realized what had just happened.

"That sound just now, like thunder, isn't it ......?"

Suddenly, his mind flashed the words of his son Murong Ren, recalling Murong Ren's face distorted by fear, and remembering the bizarre remarks in his words, about the fall of the thunder from the sky and the demon soldiers of Daijun.

"Could it be that what Ren'er said is true, and there are really demon soldiers?"

As soon as this thought flashed in his mind, there was a bang below, and then the ground shook and the mountains shook, Murong Diao clearly felt that the ground under his feet was shaking violently, and as far as his eyes could see, he saw a section of the city wall that seemed to him to be extremely strong, suddenly twisted, deformed, and then broke apart!

Different from the walls made of stones, these clay rammed city walls are simpler in structure, and the reason why they can be supported up and down is that they rely on the wide and thick foundation below, which is somewhat similar to the gravity dam of later generations, but there is no evenly distributed structure, in the face of fierce bombardment, after the middle breaks, even if the wall below is still intact, but the aisle of the city wall above cannot be kept intact, and immediately cracks and disintegrates, and the people on the aisle fall down, or bury, and fall.

With the collapse of the city wall, the soldiers and horses who were originally on standby in the city were also affected, and the battle array became chaotic, not only that, but even the soldiers and horses that were gathering outside the city were also in shock after seeing the scene of the collapse of the city wall, and fell into chaos, some seemed to come to help, some seemed to be afraid, stayed in place, and some simply began to retreat.

After all, these soldiers and horses are not drilled, but belong to the leaders of various tribes, and they have not yet been fully mastered by the Murong Ministry, to a large extent, they can only be regarded as private soldiers.

"What a thunderbolt? Is there such a reason? ”

Murong Diao looked at the scenes outside the city, thinking of the tragic death of his brother, it was completely difficult to calm down, and his heart trembled, but he forced himself to calm down, he followed the explosion just now, and looked in the direction where the sound came, but what caught his eye was a few strange shelves, on which there were several iron buckets, inclined at an angle, aimed at his own city wall.

Bang!

Just as he looked over, there was a loud bang, and one of the iron barrels shook suddenly, and a phantom spewed out of it, slashed through the sky, and smashed down on the city wall, and then it collapsed again!

Suddenly, Murong Diao was in a trance, and he seemed to be in hell in an instant, and he had a feeling that it was difficult to resist the general trend.

But then, the screams of a personal soldier beside him made him come back to his senses, and he suddenly realized the situation, and immediately shouted: "Pass the order, let the soldiers and horses outside the city, and immediately attack the soldiers and horses in Youzhou!" ”

After shouting this, Murong Diao clenched his fists, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

He's going to reverse the situation!
