Chapter 526: The siege begins

The adjutant next to General Villeneuve scolded: "You are dizzy! What nonsense are you talking in broad daylight! No one pulls and pushes, how can these ladders and rushing cars move!"

The marksman knelt down with a "snap", whether it was facing a fierce beast or an enemy, his hand holding the bow and arrow did not move at all, and his voice began to tremble, "General...... General, I read that right!

"Are these engineering machines on their own?" asked General Villeneuve, exasperated.

"Could it be, is it really a ghost?", even the adjutant was a little flustered.

"What a fool's errand!", General Villeneuve retorted, "what do you mean...... Can the Northern Army manipulate ghosts?"

However, before General Villeneuve could figure out the details of these siege engines of the Northern Army, the soldiers defending the city began to panic. After all, such a phenomenon that surpasses people's common sense, even these warriors with a heart like iron and stone will inevitably become confused and unable to respond calmly.

They may not be afraid of life and death, but they will be afraid of ghosts and gods.

General Villeneuve was annoyed when the sharpshooter who was kneeling on the ground suddenly jumped up, and with a slap of his right hand, a cold light flew directly over General Villeneuve's cheek, marking a bloody mark.

"General be careful!", he shouted.

General Villeneuve reacted quickly, and he rolled over and fell to the ground, only to hear the sound of "whooshing" in the air and the terrible screams of the soldiers.

It's arrows!The ladders of the northern army were condescending, shooting arrows at the defenders on the walls through the surface firing. The sharpshooter was sensitive to the sound of arrows, and he saved General Villeneuve at the last moment. However, the lieutenant next to General Villeneuve had no such good luck, and in just a moment, he was shot like a hedgehog, and he fell to the ground and died without even snorting.

"Damn it!" General Villeneuve cursed under his breath, sprinting two steps to find a bunker and commanding loudly, "Shoot back!"

Before General Villeneuve could speak, the soldiers of the Northern Army had already begun to fight back. Under the cover of the battlements or bunkers, they began to shoot arrows at the ladders. These massive ladders are too easy for these warriors to shoot.

But after a while, the warriors began to despair, and the rain of arrows shot at the ladders, making a "clanging" sound, like fried beans. These sharp arrows shot at the iron armor on the surface of the ladders, and they couldn't even leave a little white mark, let alone shoot through these ladders.

And the archers of the Northern Army hid in the ladders and shot arrows at the walls with impunity. For a moment, the arrows were like a curtain of water, covering the entire wall, and at the same time, there were dots of blood, and each blood flower symbolized the loss of a life.

Using these ironclad ladders, the Northern Army completely suppressed the Northern Army. This desperate situation of being beaten and unable to fight back was really frustrating, and the entire Northern Army was greatly discouraged.

Around General Villeneuve, the soldiers were screaming and falling in pools of blood, and almost all the soldiers were so suppressed that they could not move. General Villeneuve saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart, as the defenders, they should have been in an advantageous position, but now they have inexplicably fallen into a great disadvantage.

"We have to figure it out. General Villeneuve gritted his teeth, "Wait a while for the Northern Army to start attacking the city, according to this situation, let alone defend the Glorious City, I am afraid that the city will be broken one day!"

Thinking like this, he called the herald: "Order the shield guards in the bunker to go up to the wall! Erect a shield wall to shield the soldiers, I don't believe that the arrows of the northern army are endless, and they can go on forever." ”

The shield guards in full formation set up a shield wall, and sure enough, the situation was eased. The soldiers scattered in search of cover, their shields on their heads to ward off the arrows, and although they looked embarrassed, they suffered far fewer casualties.

General Villeneuve had just breathed a sigh of relief, when he suddenly heard a faint sound from below. "What's the sound?", he pressed his ear to the wall, listening intently.

"Bang!", "Bang!"...... The regular sound continued to sound, and General Villeneuve was startled, "It seems to be a voice from the city gate." ”

He was really anxious, although the city wall was at a disadvantage here, the northern army had not yet attacked the city, and it was in a situation of leading but not starting. But if there is a problem at the city gate, it will really be all over, and this shining city will have to fall immediately.

General Villeneuve hastened his arrangements, and ran down the wall to the city gate. By the time they got there, the sergeants defending the city had already turned into a pot of porridge and were in a mess. Even he was dumbfounded, because the sight before him was so amazing.

I saw that the tall city gate was constantly colliding with each other, and there was a loud noise, as if it was about to deafen people, and the posture was like the collapse of a mountain.

You must know that this Shining City is different from ordinary cities, and the city gate is also an ordinary piece of wood. Shining City was built to the standards of a fortress, and its vital gates were no small few.

The huge city gate is made of solid cedar wood, the top and bottom are bound by iron rings, and then painted with a layer of special paint, and the surface is wrapped by copper skin, which is strong and difficult to break, and is invulnerable to water and fire.

General Villeneuve never imagined that the gate would be breached, and it was no wonder that the soldiers defending the city were so flustered.

"How can this be?", Listening to the loud crash, General Villeneuve suddenly came to his senses: "Yes, it's those rushing cars! Since those ladders are so magical, it is not impossible for these rushing cars to have such great power. ”

Thinking of this, he hurriedly arranged: "What are you people still doing here? Do you really want to wait for the people from the north to come in? Go find some stones and wood, and block the entire city gate! If this city gate is really broken, you must block the enemy!"

The soldiers woke up from a dream, and the leader of the team hurriedly asked, "But, general, where can we find so many stones and timber in our eagerness? ”

"Then tear down all the houses around here! ", commanded General Villeneuve loudly.

"But General, I'm afraid this will cause hostility among the residents......"

"Listen, don't think about what to do in the future! Now that we have reached the most critical moment, if the Shining City is breached, all of us, the entire Northern Army, will die without a place to be buried!", General Villeneuve's whole face was distorted, very infiltrating.

"I don't care if you use a knife, a gun, a robber, or a murderer. Even with your corpses, you will block the gates of this city!"
