Chapter 175: I Can't Hold On!
A piercing horn sounded, and the siege began.
When the sound of the trumpet died down and the hissing filled the void, the soldiers placed heavy stones on the catapults. Then pull the pry bar.
"Bang, bang, bang." There was a sharp roar in the air, and after that, countless boulders fell from the sky and smashed accurately into the walls of the Banyan City with extremely fast acceleration.
"The boulder is coming! Avoid. Dodge, disperse. With Liu Mo's shout, the defenders of Rongcheng immediately panicked and took cover to dodge.
"Boom, boom, boom!" Loud noises burrowed into the cochlea.
Liu Mo saw a boulder hit an unlucky Daxia soldier, and the soldier was instantly blown into a meatloaf. The boulder continued to roll, and the Great Xia defenders along the way hurriedly dodged, and those who couldn't dodge were ruthlessly crushed.
A boulder smashed on the wall, cracking the wall and rubble flying.
Out of fear, some Great Xia soldiers chose to hide in the arrow tower, but as soon as they stepped in with their front feet, they saw a boulder falling...
In less than a moment, there were their own shouts in Rongcheng, the shouts of those who were crushed by the boulders, the roars of the non-commissioned officers, and the thunder.
The catapults in the front row were finished, and the catapults in the second row were ready, and with the order of the generals of the Zhou Dynasty, the second wave of attacks began again.
The small Banyan City is suffering from cruel destruction.
"Boom, boom, boom!" Every sound made the Great Xia defenders suffer.
Under the cover of the boulders, the Zhou Dynasty's large siege weapons such as rushing cars, nest cars, and cloud ladders have quietly approached.
In order to cause accidental injury, the catapult will definitely stop attacking, thinking of this, Liu Mo immediately stood up from behind the cover.
"The soldiers of Great Xia, kill them all!"
At the sound of an order, the defenders finally responded, and a thick rain of arrows and boulders fell from the walls. The attackers hesitated for a moment, and then the formation was broken, and they had to turn and flee, and soon regrouped.
And this time, the Zhou Dynasty army also had a countermeasure.
They held their huge shields aloof like rooftops to shield them from attacks from above, and in the middle of the formation were huge rushing carts, and at the back a group of swarming archers shot their bows and arrows to suppress the defenders on the walls.
In this way, the Zhou army rushed to the gate, and under the operation of many pairs of strong arms, the chariot rushed into the city gate again and again. If anyone is killed by a boulder dropped by the defenders, other soldiers immediately come to their aid.
Again and again, the huge city-breaking hammer slammed into the city gates.
Liu Mo and Zhu Min heard the deafening knocking sound of the rushing car again and again, and they knew that the city gate was already in danger and could not hold it for long.
"Brother Zhu, are you sure it's Lu Sheng who came to support?"
"I vouch for the head, it must be him!" Although Zhu Min said this, he also muttered in his heart.
"Then why haven't you come yet? When will it be! Liu Mo frowned.
It turned out that after receiving the news of reinforcements, Liu Mo had a bold plan.
What's more fragrant than a raid on an attacking force while it's in full swing? So, he asked Zhao Da to find the pigeons of Quanrong City and release them together with Zhu Min's carrier pigeons.
He wanted to inform the Great Xia reinforcements of his plan, slow down, ambush aside, and wait for the Zhou Dynasty to attack the city with all its might.
Yang Yizhi, you are capable, and you would not have thought that I would be so crazy and use myself as bait to tempt you to attack the city!
Second, empathy, even if Yang Yizhi can guess my intentions, the Banyan City that is within reach, do you want it or not? If you don't, reinforcements have arrived, either withdraw or fight a war of attrition!
Obviously, Yang Yizhi chose the former and went all out to attack the city!
But now the question comes, the siege has begun, how come reinforcements don't appear!
Could it be that the carrier pigeon didn't fly out?
"Bang, bang, bang!" The loud noise made by the rushing car made Liu Mo feel irritable, and when he fixed his eyes, the huge door frame and the iron bars on it had been bent, and many wooden planks had cracked.
What the gates mean when they fall doesn't need to be explained.
And that's when even bigger trouble arises!
"Boom!" A bang.
The building car of the Zhou Dynasty, the ladder has crashed into the city wall.
In the next second, hundreds of Zhou Dynasty soldiers came out of the building car.
Such a transformation meant that the rushing troops could attack the city gate without fear, and the only defenders of Great Xia who could threaten them had to abandon them and fight against the Zhou Dynasty soldiers on the city walls!
"Deal with the debris on the city wall first!" Zhu Min took a sip, "Array, array!" ”
There was no time to dwell on the issue of reinforcements, Liu Mo and Zhu Min worked together to organize the soldiers to gather quickly.
The Oath stood in front of him with the steel sword "Oath", and the helmet on top obscured most of his vision. Zhu Min was in his right hand, dressed in armor, and his sharp eyes revealed a murderous aura.
On the left hand, Liu Mo was surprised to find that Gong Xiaorou was following with a sword. "You..."Liu Mo said bitterly, "Go back!" ”
"Absolutely!" Gong Xiaorou replied in a low voice.
Liu Mo didn't have time to argue with her. "Then follow me, follow closely!"
Everyone leaned close, shoulder to shoulder, and walked along the wall. The ground was damp and slippery, half mud, half blood.
In an instant, the soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty were already approaching.
"Ready!" Zhu Min ordered again.
In the next second, they collided fiercely with the soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty.
For a moment, there was the sound of swords and spears clashing, sharp swords piercing into the throat, the dead making a final grunt, spears piercing the body, accompanied by bursts of screams of pain.
Zhu Minshan was already full of corpses in front of him, and he didn't know if his doctor had split six or seven, and he didn't have the energy to care.
The spear of one of the Great Xia defenders pierced a Zhou soldier in front of him, but the soldier held his spear tightly with the last of his strength, and he angrily lifted the Zhou soldier off the ground, and the barrel of the gun snapped.
Another Zhou Dynasty soldier immediately stabbed with a shot, and Liu Mo immediately waved his long sword, which would split the head of the Zhou Dynasty soldier in two.
After paying the price of a dozen people, this group of enemies in front of them was repulsed.
However, Liu Mo couldn't be happy, because at this moment, "Boom! There was a loud bang.
Liu Mo's heart was shocked, he knew that this was the sound of the city gate being smashed.
The sky was now clear, the torrential rain had passed, and the moon was slowly sinking in the west, but this light could not bring any hope to the soldiers of Great Xia.
There seem to be more and more enemies in front of you, and more are gathering in the distance.
The grappling hooks that were constantly being thrown under the walls made the defenders so exhausted that they could not keep up with the speed at which they could cut the ropes. Numerous siege ladders were erected along the walls, many of which were smashed by the defenders, but many more rushed up.
The soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty climbed up the ladder as quickly as they were, as agile as apes in the forest. Corpses piled up in the corners, but the enemy swarmed in oblivion.
"Aren't you coming yet?" Liu Mo frowned, "I can't hold it!" ”
