Just as everyone's voices fell, a horn suddenly sounded from the tower, which was a warning of a surprise attack by the Tatar soldiers.

Everyone's expressions changed. After hearing this, Sheng Xi said directly: "Xin Ru, take them to get weapons. Others, prepare to meet the enemy!"

"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison, which was actually mixed but not chaotic. Among them, Wang Xiao's feeling was particularly obvious, just because these people were his former colleagues. Although Qian Zhenfu was a good official, but maybe

Because of the war, or more likely because of Sheng Xi, the troops that could have been clearly scattered now showed the demeanor of an iron army. But the people behind them no longer looked at them with the initial disdain and vigilance.

There is gratitude and concern.

He looked up at Sheng Xi who was running up the tower quickly. For a moment, he really wanted to say thank you to Sheng Xi. However, this thank you could only be postponed for the time being, because the next step was life or death.

This time has really come!

Outside the city, a large torch lit up almost half of the sky. The roaring screams of the Tatar soldiers came from a long distance away. The sound was so loud that they seemed to have made sufficient preparations.

Sheng Xi looked coldly at the Tatar soldiers who were getting closer and closer. He saw that almost each of them had a shield. This was obviously used to defend against the crossbow fire. Since the other party was prepared, they didn't need to be rigid anymore.

It would take only a blink of an eye to rush over from a distance of a hundred meters, so there is no need to worry about crossbow arrows at this time.

Therefore, as soon as the Tatar soldiers reached the shooting range, Sheng Xi directly ordered to shoot, and at the same time prepared the bed crossbow with a range of 500 meters.

Not long after the crossbow arrows were fired, screams came from the roaring Tatar army. The power of the crossbow should not be underestimated. Even if the opponent has a shield to resist it, some of them will still be penetrated. But the penetration is also limited.

, that shield is useful after all, most of them are pierced into the shield, some are shocked or injured, but only a few are killed by one arrow.

Taking this opportunity, the Tatar soldiers advanced a lot and soon reached the 500-meter shooting range.

Another wave of crossbow arrows came, this time with more numbers, and more enemies were injured than before. But no matter how many, they could not match the opponent's forward speed. I don't know what kind of benefits were promised to these Tatar soldiers by the general, but they were actually

None of them were afraid of death, even stepping on the corpses of their companions, or even rushing forward with the corpses of their companions in their arms.

On the city tower, everyone did not stop for almost a second, and the crossbow arrows could be thinned by turning their heads.

Finally, the opponent rushed to 100 meters, and then continued to rush forward.

Wang Xiao called Sheng Xi, and Sheng Xi directly ordered: "Archers, prepare! Prepare kerosene!"

The next moment, the crossbowmen, who had already suppressed their anger, directly burned the fire sticks in their hands.

However, Sheng Xi did not give the order to shoot, but calmly watched the Tatar soldiers approach little by little.

Everyone clenched their palms tightly and looked ahead without blinking. They were like cheetahs getting ready to attack, their muscles tense, just waiting for the next moment to bite off the neck of their prey.

Seeing the Tatar soldier charging forward again, Sheng Xi, who had not spoken a word, suddenly shouted: "Get ready, pull!"

"Whoa!" Countless ropes suddenly tightened and hung in the air between the tower and the ground. Just as those ropes bounced up, something seemed to be brought up at the end connected to the ground, and what followed was

It was a burst of screams with people falling on their backs and horses falling on their backs.

On the city tower, when the soldiers heard the cry, they all looked up to the sky and screamed in anger, but the next second they heard Sheng Xi suddenly give an order: "Archers, release arrows!"

"Swish! Swish! Swish!" The sharp arrows wrapped in oilcloth shot towards the bottom of the city tower with unquenchable flames. They shot at the villagers in that city, in order to contribute their own efforts to help.

With all my strength, I risked my life quietly in the middle of the night

After leaving the city, a trench was quietly dug a hundred meters away from the city gate. The trench was covered with wooden planks for camouflage. One end of the wooden planks was connected to the city tower. As long as the rope on the city tower was pulled, it would become a not too big tunnel.

Deep trap.

But don't underestimate this trap, because there is a layer of tung oil and other flammable materials underneath the trap. The moment the long arrow is shot, the inconspicuous trench turns into a dangerous place that can eat people and eat flesh.

The ground, accompanied by the explosion of fire, all the Tatar soldiers who had no time to react were wrapped in it.

Almost instantly, the area under the city tower was completely illuminated, and everyone could clearly see the Tatar soldiers who were howling and dancing with the fire.

The people on the tower were gnashing their teeth with joy, but below the tower, the Tatar general wished he could swing his sword and kill all these cunning and insidious Li people!

"Damn it!" the Tatar general cursed fiercely, "Damn it, come to me! Whoever is the first to climb the tower, I will reward him with a hundred taels of gold! And I will give him the beauty I love most!"

"

"Ouch!" The Tatar soldiers were shocked by the wall of fire. After hearing the other party's words, they immediately screamed. The original retreat was lured forward, and it was like being beaten again.

, regardless of anything else, he rushed over with his head covered.

This time, they really used the bodies of their companions to build a bridge. They did not care for the one hundred taels of gold and the beauty that the general loved most.

Everyone on the city tower was stunned. Although they already knew how cruel the Tatar soldiers were, they were still shocked by the way they showed no regard for their companions.

This is simply, this is simply inhumane!

But that’s how they are!

Suddenly, a cold voice came from beside them, like pouring a basin of cold water on their brains, making them wake up immediately.

Just listen to the voice saying: "Don't be stunned! The archers keep shooting! Yaksha is ready to shoot!"

"Yes!" No one dared to be stunned anymore and calmed down in a hurry.

The power of Yaksha was huge, and all kinds of bows, crossbows, and arrows were fired at once, but they still failed to stop the Tatar soldiers. The ladder was finally set up on the city wall, and the soldiers used their forks to push the ladder up again and again.

But the other party time and time again

Then he put it up. Because there were too many Tatar soldiers, and they were small, their physical strength was so heavy that in the end, the number of times the ladder was knocked down could no longer keep up with the number of times it was put up. Soon, Tatar soldiers stepped on it.

Got the tower.

However, it rained all night, and there was only a loud "dong" sound under the city tower. The enemy's battering ram was successfully pushed forward, and the hammer hit the city gate hard.

Suddenly, the city gate, which was not strong enough, began to fall dustyly and swayed visibly to the naked eye.

Sheng Xi turned his head and looked at the bottom of the city tower. There were densely packed heads of people crowded below, scrambling to move upward or toward the city gate, all with the same goal.
Chapter completed!
