The sudden attack of the barbarian army really caught the fortress by surprise, and it was almost impossible to imagine that after the blizzard, they would choose to forcibly attack the fortress.

Even the ice on the ground hasn't melted yet, so isn't it more difficult to attack a tall and sturdy fortress in such an environment?

But the barbarians just fought, and chose a time that others could not imagine, and when the sentry post of the fortress was discovered, the barbarian army had already reached a distance of one kilometer in front of the fortress.

The guards hurriedly sounded the horn of the highest urgency, and one by one the soldiers hurriedly ran out of the barracks, and it was now breakfast time, and many soldiers were still holding half-eaten food in their mouths, and rushed towards their respective guard areas, ready to start defending the city.

An Xu was woken up by the sound of panicked footsteps outside in such an environment, and when he got dressed and walked out of the tent, the siege battle had officially begun.

In the first wave of attacks, the war equipment of both sides began to launch long-range strikes against each other, and the hideous catapults made a dull sound and threw huge stones at the opponent's position.

A rock more than a man high landed on the barracks hundreds of meters in front of An Xu, and smashed the fragile wooden house on the spot, and the soldiers inside had already left, otherwise they would have been crushed along with the house.

An Xu's face was a little unsightly, the first time he experienced a large-scale offensive and defensive battle at close range, he realized that the war was far more cruel and dangerous than he imagined, if he was accidentally hit by such an attack, even if he had a three-star physique, he would definitely have no chance of survival.

"Let's go, get out of the camp quickly, find a dead corner to dodge, it's too dangerous here!" An Xu hurriedly rushed back to the tent and woke up the members who were still in a daze.

Before he finished speaking, another boulder fell nearby, and a running soldier happened to be hit by the boulder, instantly turning into a puddle of flesh, Xu Wei, who had just come out, happened to see this scene and screamed in fright.

"Qingqing, take them out of here, hurry up!" An Xu had no choice but to hand over the task to Lin Qingqing, who was quite calm.

"Captain, what about you?"

"I'll go to the city wall to take a look, find out the situation, don't run around, wait for me to come back!" An Xu admonished, and then cautiously ran to the nearest city wall.

An Xu had never experienced such a battle, and he couldn't help but be a little flustered in his heart, and he didn't know what the situation was at the moment.

Along the way, there were soldiers carrying supplies to defend the city and running past An Xu, and from time to time there would be a boulder whistling by, but fortunately, An Xu's perception was not bad, and the probability of being hit if he focused on dodging was very small.

In order not to affect the soldiers to defend the city, An Xu found a relatively loose corner of the city wall, and then climbed the edge of the wall to look out.

An Xu has always known that once the number of people reaches tens of thousands, it will be a lot, but he never knew that when tens of thousands of troops attack at the same time, it will be so shocking.

Not to mention the tall barbarians, looking down from the city wall, the snow is covered in dense barbarians, and there is no edge in sight, coupled with the towering siege equipment and burning gunsmoke, at this moment An Xu really realized that he was on the front line of the war.

"Knock, knock, knock......" The barbarians beat the war drums, and every time they sounded, An Xu's heart beat violently, and then the barbarian soldiers under the city wall began to launch a fierce attack, they roared, carried tall and strong ladders, and brandished weapons and rushed towards the city wall.

At the same time, a huge siege engine began to move forward, heading towards the heavy gate beneath the city walls.

The momentum exuded by the huge barbarian army made An Xu breathless, and he glanced at the soldiers on the city wall, and it was hard to imagine how they could still maintain their composure in such a situation.

When the siege officially entered the scorching stage, An Xu found that the city wall was not safe, it was completely the key target of the barbarian army, countless arrows and rocks fell on the city wall, and An Xu had to retreat from the city wall.

Back in the fortress, there were shouts of killing on all sides, and An Xu knew that the barbarians were not only attacking the city wall just now, but attacking from multiple directions at the same time.

This made An Xu a little unbelievable, the main force of the barbarians was so terrifying, could the Silver Ridge Fortress really be safely kept?

Some wandered to find Doudou and them, but saw a soldier standing next to them, and after seeing An Xu, he trotted over, as if he was waiting for him?

"Your Excellency An Xu, Lord Lu Qi is waiting for you in front!" The soldier said.

"Okay, please lead the way!" An Xu nodded, General Lu Qi was looking for him at this time, and he must have a task to help the mercenaries.

Coming to a clearing in front of him, General Lu Qi was carrying supplies to his subordinates, and when he saw An Xu coming, the anxious look on his face relaxed slightly: "You came at the right time, the enemy's attack is too fierce, even more than the previous attacks, and now there is a little shortage of manpower in the fortress, I want to entrust you to help defend the city." ”

"We? Defending the city? An Xu's eyes widened in astonishment, and he said, "Lord Lu Qi, we are just mercenaries, and we don't know how to fight the city defense battle at all." ”

This is true, if it is a small-scale encounter in the wild, then An Xu is very confident, because this is what mercenaries are good at, but defending the city? This is a joke, he doesn't even know how to use the city defense equipment on the city wall, and he can't understand some simple battle orders at all.

If you want them to help carry the materials or something, An Xu will definitely accept it without hesitation, anyway, he has the strength.

"This is also no way, of course, it is not for you to guard the front city wall, there is a general personally guarding it, don't worry for the time being, mainly a few smaller sections of the city wall on the north side of the mountain, there are a small number of barbarian troops trying to attack, we really can't draw extra soldiers, so we have to trouble you!" Lu Qi smiled bitterly.

A small section of the city wall with not many enemies?

An Xu groaned slightly, if this is the case, it is acceptable, if you only need to hold a small place, An Xu believes that with his own team, it is no problem to repel hundreds of ordinary barbarian soldiers.

"Only us?" An Xu asked uneasily.

"Of course not, I have already issued a commission to the other mercenary teams, in this way, you go to the third city wall in the north, and then I will let another team join you, no matter what way, as long as those barbarians don't attack the city wall, and when you hold the fortress this time, I will give you satisfactory points."

"Alright then, you send someone to take us there!" An Xu agreed, now they can only catch the ducks on the shelves, if they don't agree, when the barbarians break through the fortress, they can't run alone, it is better to take advantage of the fortress while it is still there.

When Doudou heard the news, they were also shocked: "What are you kidding, let our mercenaries go to defend the city?" ”

"Okay, don't delay, the situation can't be managed so much, Noor, bring all the potions, just in case!" An Xu admonished.

Then An Xu took the entire team and followed a soldier to the No. 3 city wall in Lu Qi's mouth, and when he saw the scale of the city wall, An Xu was so angry that he wanted to scold his mother.

Is this called a small section of the wall?

Just this section of the city wall in front of them, it is dozens of meters, and it is estimated that there is a large gap in the entire team of their entire battle team and scattered to stand up, and there are only more than 20 soldiers holding on to it at present, and when An Xu arrived, there were even barbarian soldiers climbing ladders to climb the city wall.

How can this be kept?

Since he had come here, An Xu couldn't do nothing, so he rushed up and directly knocked down a barbarian who had climbed the city wall, and knocked down the ladder along the way.

Taking advantage of this gap, An Xu poked his head out of the city wall to probe, and his heart sank again, saying that there was a small group of barbarian troops 'trying' to attack?

There are at least a thousand barbarians under the city wall, and they are climbing up frantically, and there is a momentum that will not break the city wall and will not stop, this can also be called a tentative attack?

"Everyone fights on their own, be careful!" An Xu gritted his teeth and gave a battle order, he had nothing to command for the defense of the city, and the formation of the team was no longer of any use in this kind of place.

This time, they can only rely on their own strength.
