The silence of death spread across the plain outside Yulin Village. In the neatly arranged square formation, every soldier was waiting for the moment of attack. The defenders who had already put arrows on the bow on the city wall were also waiting for the arrival of the last moment.

There was nothing at this time in the 500-meter space. The veterans who had been on the battlefield couldn't help but jump up in their hearts. They knew that when the order to start the war was issued, the land would be covered with corpses, many arrow branches, and the blood that had just been boiling hot, pouring through the land.

As professional Mamluk soldiers, they do not care who is right or wrong, nor why the cause of the war. Surviving on the battlefield is their only goal, and if the situation allows, they will also add the enemy to defeat themselves.

In front of the infantry preparing to attack were some tall shield chariots made of thick wooden boards, and some large metal shields were fixed on the shield chariots to strengthen the defense effect. However, the veterans knew that the thing had no defensive effect on the thrown stone bombs. In addition, they also heard that in the sturdy and daunting castle in front of them, there were weapons that were more powerful than asphalt bombs.

But whether the defenders or the soldiers who launched an attack, they knew that they had no way out. Ordinary infantry held the general sword in their hands. As for the shield, the equipment of the Yulin Armor has been completely eliminated. The Yulin Armor provides comprehensive protection, and the pointed helmet and the armor on their bodies can be guarded. Except for the four-edged armor, most feather arrows. Even if they are hit by an arrow, they are unlikely to cause fatal damage.

This is because the infantry's armor has thickened protection near important internal organs. The result of this is that the protective power of the armor is increased, but the weight does not increase much.

"Tick tick..."

The sound of the military horns sounded, and these copper military horns also came from Huaxia Island. Compared with the so-called horns used in the past, the quality of industrial products is much more reliable.

In the loud sound of the bronze horn, the infantry began to advance in one row. The archers did not line up, but followed the tall shield chariots. Behind were infantrymen who were preparing to climb the city, with soldiers carrying ladders and pushing ladders. Finally, some large trucks pulling logs and sacks followed at the end of the entire formation.

As Bhayi, Governor of Blasaro, said, his army would build a temporary formation not far from Yulin City, so that his archers, stone throwers, and siege towers could attack the city walls there. After the advance base was established, the siege cart would come forward, and the door hammer loaded by the car would break open the gate of Yulin Village.

In such a siege battle with huge power disparity, the breaking of the city gate basically indicates the end of the battle. Even if the siege army is only 5,000, it can still defeat the exhausted defenders in the battle of defending the city.

The sharp sound of the bronze trumpet made everyone in the city nervous. They subconsciously raised their ears and listened to the commands of their respective commanders.

"Go forward...steadily!"

The commander's loud voice echoed in the open and silent fields before the war. The defenders in the city raised their pulleys one by one, ready to shoot at any time. Behind them, the gunners of the thunder cannon had already prepared the stone throwing machine and would be fired out just by waiting for a command.

Zhao Xu listened to the sound of commands coming from afar, and Zhao Xu put down the telescope in his hand. The place he was at this moment was in the tower directly above the city gate. The first floor of the tower was equipped with a winch to control the thousand-jin gate, and a sound above was the place where he observed and commanded the battle. In addition to the close-fitting guards, he was the number of soldiers. Through the pre-determined tone, he could command the defenders on the city walls like arms and fingers.

Xianglian was originally going to come here, but he drove off the city wall. In Zhao Xu's mind, fighting is a man's business, so what's the point of getting involved in her family!

"Wow!"

The infantry wearing Yulin armor on the opposite side moved forward. The armor weighing about 20 kilograms made them look brave and fearless. Compared with the armor of Arab infantry in the past, the infantry armor in the Yulin armor series was much stronger. Under the heavy armor, the soldiers stepped on the drum beats and moved forward step by step.

The soldiers in the front row had their eyes covered by tall shields, and they could not see the reaction of the defenders on the city. The people behind them watched the defenders on the city, preparing their bows and arrows, and there was an irresistible fear in their hearts. The soldiers tried their best to restrain their body trembling and slowly advanced towards the city wall. The intuition told them that it would be as terrifying as hell, and they were about to sweep away the evil souls in hell in vain.

They leaned against the city wall slowly, and no one ran or retreated. Because running over such a long distance in a 20-pound marble armor would make them unable to climb the city wall along the cloud ladder. Only after enduring the attacks of each other and reaching a close enough place will they begin to accelerate towards the city wall and climb up the city wall along the cloud ladder from there.

300 meters...continuously approaching...!

The entire battlefield was still as quiet as death, and nothing except the sound of "wow" footsteps. Almost everyone could hear was their heartbeat and the involuntary gasp.

When the war is approaching, they are all trained soldiers, feared that they will gradually disappear from their hearts. Everyone has their own weapons and is ready to fight the last battle in their lives.

150 meters, until 150 meters, Zhao Xu slowly lowered the telescope. His face was a little pale, and it was obvious that thousands of people were ringing together. The sound of footsteps gradually approaching caused some psychological pressure.

"You have to shoot with the archers and try to kill more when they get close to the city wall!"

With the pale face, Zhao Xu gave a brief order, the messenger who followed him blew the bronze trumpet from the window of the tower.

"Tick...tick..."

With the issuance of the bronze order, the archers pulled their bows and aimed in the air under the command of the officers, which was obviously a means of covering the shooting. On the flat-topped house under the city wall behind them, the shooting of the stone thrower was also ready for shooting. Unlike the means by which the Yulin Army of the Song Dynasty used the stone thrower, they did not have the equipment to measure the distance and azimuth angle. The use of the stone thrower was entirely based on the experience of the shooters.
