C429 Intense
Arrows shot down from the city walls, and because of the terrain, the falling arrows became unusually powerful and very fast.
Under the attack of the arrows, the suicide squad in front could only raise their shields to block the arrows shot down from the top of the wall.
Very quickly, under the fierce attack, almost all the members of the suicide squad were sacrificed. However, the only fortunate thing was that a few scaling ladders had already been lifted up.
When the generals who were watching saw that the time was not right, they immediately shouted, "All troops, attack!"
"Kill!" Under his command, all the soldiers raised their weapons and charged toward the imperial city of Great Zhou Dynasty.
Seeing those soldiers rushing towards him like a sea of people, even the general who had experienced hundreds of battles felt a little fearful.
He had seen sieges before, but he had never seen such a siege before. It was simply like using people to pile up!
"Hurry up and destroy what they came up with. Destroy all the ladders!" The general on the city wall commanded, "Also, transport all the stones up here. Remember to attack the wooden stake below. Don't let anyone come into contact with it. Don't let them attack our city gates again! "
As he said that, the general patted a soldier on the shoulder and said, "Go down immediately and tell the people below to block the impact from outside. Do you understand?"
"Understood!" After the soldier received the order, he immediately rushed down to report the general's order.
Under the constant command, the siege weapons hanging on the city walls were constantly destroyed, and the soldiers below could not help but watch as the siege weapons were destroyed.
"How many more do we have?" The general asked.
A man urged his horse forward a few steps and arrived in front of the leader. He reported, "Our siege weapons were recently built by us, so there is a limit to how many we can organize. As for all the siege weapons, we can say that most of them have already been taken out!"
"Go! Pass on my order, ask the siege weapons to be quickly manufactured!" The general in the lead said.
"Ah!"
That person did not dare to believe this order and hurriedly advised, "General, you can't be in such a hurry to attack the city. I know that it is because of Your Majesty's order. So General will be very anxious, but the siege weapons we just created... If it is used directly, it will be very unstable!"
"Nonsense! I have already fought for so many years. Don't you know what you are talking about? I am not a bag of straw! "The general rolled his eyes and scolded loudly," And I did not say that the siege weapons that I have created will be used now. I should have let you guys create them. I didn't say that I would use them now! "
"Yes!" The man apologetically cupped his fists at the general. "I broke the rules just now! I thought that you would use the machines that you just made when you wanted to attack the city! "
"Alright, hurry up and go!" The leader of the generals waved his hand at him, indicating that he could leave.
That person quickly left and ordered them to continue building siege weapons.
After that person left, the generals all stood there and watched the siege.
"Quick, hurry up. Put down the stones and throw them down!" The general standing on top of the city wall pointed at the soldier who was about to come up and shouted.
But that soldier was a soldier. Looking at the enemy who was about to come up, he had a ferocious expression on his face. He really felt a little scared and could not help but take a step back.
It was this step back that gave the enemy an opportunity to come up. However, just as he was about to come up, a person rushed up and pushed down the enemy who was about to come up.
The person who pushed down the enemy was the general who was standing there commanding. He said loudly to the soldier who had just taken a step back, "Why are you standing there? Do you know that your actions are very dangerous on the battlefield!"
"I... I..." The soldier trembled and kept saying the word 'I'.
"You what you!" The general pulled him to the side of the city wall and said, "Look down there. Pick up the stone beside you and smash it down hard! Hurry up!"
"Yes!" There were some tears on the man's face. He quickly went to talk about the stone beside him and lifted it up.
Then, he looked at the enemy climbing up the ladder. His Adam's apple could not help but twitch. He swallowed his saliva and gritted his teeth. He closed his eyes and threw the stone in his hand down forcefully!
He had never killed anyone before. He hadn't even killed a chicken. But today, he threw a stone into the crowd.
"Very good!" The general patted his shoulder, transmitting his courage to him.1
The generals who were watching the battle below looked at the ladder that was gradually disappearing. They knew that this cruel siege battle was about to end. This city was easy to defend and hard to attack!
As expected, just as they thought this, they saw the general put away the sword in his hand and said, "Call the horn! Withdraw the army!"
"Yes!"
Not long after a messenger left with his order, a long horn sounded. The soldiers who were ready to charge forward heard it and slowly retreated.
"Next time, after we have built all the siege weapons, we are attacking! At that time, we must take down the city in one fell swoop. Or else, we will all bear Your Majesty's punishment!" The general who led the group turned his horse around and headed towards the direction of the camp.
Seeing the enemies retreat one by one, the soldiers on the city wall kept cheering, "We have won! We have won!"
Did we really win?
Looking at the soldiers cheering and the general defending the city, he asked himself, They have so many soldiers, but this time they only have insufficient siege weapons. That's why they retreated. Did they really win?
He believed that the next wave of attack would come after the enemy had finished building the siege weapons. The next wave of attack would definitely be even fiercer than this one!
