Chapter 386: Siege
In fact, the difficulty of attacking the city Hu Kai knows best in his heart, the fish people themselves are difficult to deal with, coupled with the high walls and thick cities, and they do not have effective siege weapons, I am afraid it will be difficult to break through.

If he had time, Hu Kai might have been able to think of other ways not to be so passive. However, if they don't attack now, they won't be able to get back to the cruise ship within the allotted time.
Fortunately, the female warriors of the Great Rock Country have a strong desire to fight, and after learning that they are going to fight the fishmen, they are very excited.
Katyusha also understood the difficulty of the siege, so she arranged for a team of the strongest soldiers to knock on the city gates, trying to find a breakthrough through the superiority of strength!
As soon as the gates are opened, the advantage of the fish people disappears.
To increase her chances of success, Katyusha also arranged for archers to follow in the back, as well as some backup plans.
Around five o'clock in the afternoon, after everything was ready, the siege officially began.
First, a group of horsemen armed with those super-long spears began to attack the city gates.
When the fish people on the city wall got the news, they immediately rushed to the head of the city, and they all lifted the boulders, ready to throw stones at the city!
At the same time, the archers of the Great Rock Province who had been arranged in advance also attacked, and one after another powerful feathered arrows shot towards the city, knocking down many fishmen on the spot!
Boom!
Boom!
The besieging ladies kept pounding the thick gate with their spears, but the gate was so thick that it barely moved under the continuous impact!
At this time, the fishmen, who had recovered their strength, grabbed their shields and threw stones and bricks at the besieging soldiers while blocking the fire of sharp arrows.
Don't look at the stones and bricks are not big, but after being thrown by the powerful arm strength of the fish people, they are like cannonballs, and they are killed and injured many siege soldiers on the spot.
Seeing this, Katyusha gave an order, and a row of female warriors armed with giant axes rushed to the city gate again, and they brandished oversized giant axes and began to slash and chisel at the city gate.
At the same time, another group of very tall shield soldiers were sent out by Katyusha, and these tall soldiers raised their shields high above their heads to protect the soldiers who cut down the city gates, so that they would not be injured by the stones of the fishmen!
The strength of the women was so violent that they slashed at the city gates one after another, and the whole earth trembled and clanged. Gradually, there were some cracks in the city gates, and the giant axe did its job.
Seeing that the stones could not hit each other, the fishmen picked up large rocks one by one and wanted to smash them downward, but the archers of the Great Rock Country had already waited for this opportunity, and shot sharp arrows with precision, and immediately shot dozens of fishmen.
After some of the fishmen were hit by arrows, they also fell to the city and smashed on the shields of the shield soldiers.
What is amazing is that the fishmen who were hit by the arrow did not die, and after falling out of the siege team, they immediately shook off their sharp claws and sharp teeth and fought with the siege soldiers.
Due to the crowding of the soldiers of the Great Rock Country under the city, they were actually caught by these injured fishmen for a while, and they were scarred and miserable. In the end, it was the shield-bearers who let go of their shields and fought with them in close quarters to restrain them.
Unbeknownst to him, the fishmen at the head of the city saw the opportunity, and threw down a bunch of broken stone and bricks, knocking these soldiers of the Great Rock Kingdom to the head and bleeding, even if they wore helmets, it was useless.
Seeing that their companions were frustrated, the archers hurriedly opened their bows and shot arrows again. Who knows, there are still heavy weapons on the head of the fishmen's city, and with the sound of popping and popping, huge stones are shot from the city by catapults at high speed, and all of them are smashed into the position where the archers shoot arrows.
For a moment, the boulder rolled and knocked down a large number of archers from the Great Rock Country. Many of the soldiers who didn't have time to dodge were all smashed into a bloody blur!
After losing the cover of the archers, the morale of the fishmen at the head of the city was greatly boosted, and one by one they opened their arms and threw one boulder after another under the city gate. Due to their unusually violent strength, even the shield soldiers were smashed to the ground on the spot, and most of the poor axe men died tragically under the boulders of the opposing party.
The city gate was filled with smoke and dust, stones were flying, and the siege soldiers of the Great Rock Country screamed continuously, and finally had no choice but to retreat!
When the smoke and dust dissipated, I saw that there were boulders and corpses everywhere under the city gate, which made it undoubtedly more difficult to break through the city gate!
Hu Kai frowned, judging from the performance just now, the main force of the fish people on the city wall must be the main force, although their number is limited, but they occupy a geographical advantage, I am afraid that they will not be able to take it for a while!
In the camp tent, Hu Kai discussed the military situation with the generals, and he found Han Feng and others to ask about the ammunition inventory on his side. Han Feng told Hu Kai that there were two boxes of explosives left from the cruise ship, and these explosives were very powerful, and if they could be detonated from under the city gate, only one box would be needed to blow up the city gate.
Hu Kai was overjoyed and immediately arranged a new plan to bomb the city.
After a slight adjustment, a group of cavalry from Oiwakuni rushed towards the city gate again, and at the same time, the archers replaced all their feathered arrows with rockets, ignited the arrows, and fired at the enemy on the city walls.
By this time it was already dark, and the feathered arrows with fire were particularly eye-catching. In order not to maximize the effectiveness of the enemy's catapults, Hu Kai spread out the archers so that they would not be hit by the enemy's concentration.
The cavalrymen did not carry weapons, but carried heavy shields, and when they came to the city, they immediately gathered together in a semicircular defensive formation.
The fish people didn't think much about it, they still drew gourds in the same way, lifted boulders and smashed them one after another. The archers aimed their bows and arrows at the stone-throwers, preventing them from succeeding.
At this time, under the shield, Man Runjie and Lao De had already planted one of the boxes of explosives and lit the fuse.
With a whistle, the shield soldiers retreated back, not even on the war horse, and directly let the war horse retreat with him.
The fishmen thought that this was another time that the enemy had been beaten back, and immediately collected their troops and returned to the camp, not wanting to waste any more ammunition.
However, a few seconds later, the explosives under the city gate exploded violently, and the earth trembled violently, and the entire city gate was blown up in the sky, and the whole gate was blown sideways, and the rubble burst out!
Yes!
There was a shout among the troops of the Great Rock Country, and the soldiers rejoiced, such a violent explosion, not to mention the city gate, I am afraid that the entire gatehouse will be blown down, right?
However, when the noise cleared, the soldiers who were cheering were dumbfounded!
No one thought that although the city gate had been blown open, the back of the city gate was actually blocked with huge boulders! The stones are so tightly stuffed that you can't rush in! (To be continued.) )
