Chapter 838: Siege [2]

The ghost soldiers climbed up the ladder. How dare the defenders let them enter the city easily. They threw down the stones that were piled up at the top of the city.

The big stones fell one after another, and the ghost soldiers who had gone up the ladder were hit and fell from the ladder. Some were smashed on the head and broke the blood. For a time, the defenders had the upper hand.

Seeing that the city was already prepared, the general who led the team immediately gave an order for the catapults to attack.

Catapults are original devices in the game world. It is very common in the military.

In the army of the Ghost King, there are quite a few catapults. Dozens of catapults were pushed not far from the city walls. There was a creaking sound, and the catapult's arm was pulled apart by the ghost soldiers.

As the mechanism was opened, dozens of boulders flew up to the top of the city. Straight at the defenders. The terrain above the city is narrow. When the boulder fell, the defenders couldn't dodge it. The boulder hit the crowd, and clumps of flesh splattered everywhere.

The defenders were in disarray. The siege team had a chance. The ghost soldiers climbed up desperately.

Seeing that, the first ghost soldier ascended to the top of the city. Immediately after, the second ghost soldier followed. There are constantly ghost soldiers coming to the city. Close to the defenders.

His own men had already landed in the city, and the catapults stopped attacking. The defenders recovered and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the ghost soldiers who had ascended the city. There are more and more ghost soldiers entering the city. People kept falling from the city. The battle soon heated up.

Seeing it, the head of the city is about to lose. At this moment, tens of thousands of reinforcements arrived to defend the city. They rushed to the top of the city and repelled the besieging demons.

Thanks to the addition of a new force. The defenders regained their morale. They squeezed the ghost soldiers who attacked the city with all their might. and beat them down into the city.

Before the besieging troops could use the catapults again, the newly arrived reinforcements from the city took out many porcelain vases. They smashed the vase into the ladder with all their might.

The porcelain vase shattered, and tung oil flowed from it. After that, they used torches to set the ladder on fire.

The ladder is made of materials such as wood and bamboo. Plus sprinkled with a lot of tung oil. As soon as it encounters Mars, it immediately begins to burn.

After burning the ladder, the reinforcements immediately withdrew from the city. At this time, the boulder launched by the catapult descended again. The defenders gained experience. No more gathering together. The catapult was much less powerful.

The general in charge of the siege saw that the ladder was burned. Hurriedly ordered his men to look for the ladder again. Prepare to continue the siege.

For a time, the siege team had to rely on catapults to kill and wound the defenders. The first round of siege was declared a failure.

Ghost Ming arranged for the city to be guarded by more than 10,000 of his descendants. Led by the Beard. Ever since he was stabbed to death, he has commanded all the horses. The city was defended by more than 10,000 men.

Those reinforcements who came were the men and horses of Youyou. Although he obeyed the orders of the ghosts, he was even more in awe of Wang Chong. The ghost is only for pleasure. Where will he lead his troops to war. So Wang Chong asked Yu You to obey the orders of the ghost directly.

The more than 10,000 horses and the 10,000 horses are the main force guarding the Netherworld.

In the city, the five thousand people of the Heavenly Destiny Society are responsible for guarding the residence of the ghost king. Ghost Face took his 10,000 men and Chen Xiao's team to watch over the Ghost King.

Wang Chong told Ghost Face that no matter how far he was fighting, he would not be able to leave Ghost King's station. At this time, Ghost Face is leading people and Ghost King Dragon's men and horses to confront each other.

The Ghost King is prepared. Therefore, he brought a large number of siege equipment. It didn't take long for another hundred ladders to be sent forward.

The general in charge of the siege ordered the siege to continue. Before the siege began, the head of the city was once again baptized by catapults.

With the start of the second round of attacks, the battle was fierce again. Both are all at full play. No one dared to relax in the slightest. When the ghost soldiers came to the top of the city again, more brutal battles began on the city walls. The general in charge of the siege gave a death order to occupy the city at all costs.

The besieging side is at a disadvantage. But they outnumbered the defenders. Coupled with the fact that the ghost king has a good way of governing the army, the combat effectiveness of these ghost soldiers is very strong.

These advantages compensate for the disadvantages of the besieging side. For a time, the two sides were inseparable. It wasn't until the men and horses of the city rushed to the top of the city again that the siege team was beaten again.

In the second round of attacks, the losses on both sides were not small. This time, the defending force was consumed by a thousand people. The siege troops lost more than 3,000 people.

By the time the defenders burned the ladder again, the second round of attacks ended in failure again.

The advance of the Ghost King did not continue the siege. Just harassing the defenders with catapults. The general in charge of the siege was recalled to the camp by the ghost king.

At this time, the ghost king who was sitting in the big tent was extremely angry. He wasn't angry because the siege was not good. It's because the 1,000-foot mirror he stole with great difficulty was lost inexplicably.

The reason why the ghost king took a huge risk to steal the Shadow Thousand Feet Mirror was to inherit the throne justifiably after the city was broken. What he wanted was to make the people of the ghost clan truly agree with his rule.

However, with the Shadow Thousand Feet Mirror missing, his plan could not be carried out perfectly. In the end, the Ghost King had to attack the city. He didn't dare to drag it on.

The ghost king knew that the longer the time dragged on, the more unfavorable it would be for him. He finally persuaded the ghost king and the ghost king to fall to him. Once he defects again, it will be difficult for him to attack the Netherworld. The ghost king wants to take advantage of the fact that the two ghost kings have not changed their hexagrams, and take down the ghost in one fell swoop. Don't let him have a chance to turn over.

However, the situation was not as the ghost king wanted. Two sieges in a row, both blocked by the defenders. The anger in the heart of the ghost king can only be vented on the general in charge of the siege.

The ghost king will behead the general in charge of the siege immediately. He sent his henchman Beloved to take over the besieging commander.

He is the younger brother of Mrs. Grace. He is highly regarded by the Ghost King. The Ghost King tells him to attack the city before it gets dark. He assures the Ghost King that he will complete the task.

He came to the front with his lieutenant. He had a high status in the army, and the ghost soldiers believed in him. As soon as he arrived, he ordered a concentrated attack on the city gates.

The southern gate of the Netherworld is huge. The gates were made of ironwood up to half a meter thick. The outside is also wrapped in iron sheets. He ordered the men to use a ramming car to smash the city gates.

Ram cars are a relatively common siege weapon. It consists of a frame and a huge log suspended from the frame. Two hundred ghost soldiers laboriously pushed the crashing cart towards the city gate.

When the defenders of the city saw that the enemy was about to ram the city gate, they hurriedly launched a fierce attack, organizing a ramming car to approach the city gate. They all know the power of crashing cars. Once the ramming car attacks the city gates, it will soon be able to knock the gates open.

While ordering the catapult to bombard the defenders, he sent men to protect the ramming vehicle. The device is very bulky, so it moves very slowly.
