"General, this enemy's crossbow fired several times in a row without changing the crossbow bolt!" A shout from a defender general on the top of the city suddenly woke Leng Qiao up.
"Where did that come from!"
Leng Qiao was still in shock, and hurriedly walked toward the back wall under the iron shields of several guards.
"The walls of Banan City are thick and thick, and common thieves will use your methods as much as possible!"
Xu Mu's face was expressionless.
Due to the mountainous terrain, large siege equipment could not be used, and even small wooden wall carts could not be pushed in front of the city gate.
The only thing that can be used now is a simple city ladder. Of course, the real killing scene belongs to the plain barbarian camp waiting for an opportunity.
"Fengzi Camp, go up first!"
As a mountain city, there is no moat outside Banan City. Most of the previously laid traps have been removed.
At this time, the city ladders, one after another, found an opportunity and quickly pressed forward under the firing of the repeated crossbows.
On the wet city wall, countless garrison soldiers roared and poured boiling oil and boiling water down the city.
The hundreds of Fengzi battalions at the head, even if they were holding shields, were still burned by the boiling oil, white smoke emitted from their bodies, and they fell from the city ladder.
The body rolled into the rainwater, still sizzling with smoke.
"Liannu Camp, cover the advance troops!"
The defending soldiers who emerged were constantly hit by crossbows. Some lay dead on the spot, while others coughed up blood and fell from the top of the city.
The surviving defenders covered their wounds and huddled under the parapet.
"Line up a shield wall and use hook guns!" Leng Qiao stood on the back wall with a fierce look in his eyes.
Countless hook spears were thrust down from the shield wall and hooked the city ladder. More than ten defenders worked together to quickly overturn the city ladder.
The Shunan soldiers who fell to the muddy ground were shot to death by flying arrows before they could move.
Outside Banan City, patches of blood were being blurred by the ripples of rain. Before long, as far as the eye could see, there were bloody plum blossoms everywhere.
"Lord, over there at Pingman Camp——" Dou Tong looked anxious.
Xu Mu's face was grim. He didn't want his soldiers to die in vain, but the timing was wrong and the Pingman camp was unable to open the city gate, so all their efforts would be in vain.
Due to the topography of the mountain city, it is already extremely difficult to hide a 5,000-square-foot barbarian camp in a tunnel.
"Continue to attack the city!"
"General Xu has an order, continue to attack the city!" One by one, the generals kept running and shouting in the rain.
"shield!"
Yu Wen took the lead, elevating the ladder with one hand and holding a shield with the other and shouting angrily.
Tuotuo huge rocks were pushed down from the city wall.
Bang, bang bang.
Even though he was holding up a shield, his head was still covered with blood. Many of the city ladders pressed against the wall were broken by boulders, and the soldiers who fell to death filled the gully under the city wall.
"Shoot them!"
Seeing the advantage, many defenders who had just emerged wanted to kill a wave of majesty——
"Liannu Camp!"
The continuous crossbows under the city roared and fired away, and the thousands of city-defending step bows were shot back in an instant.
"Common thief! Today, you and I will fight to the death! If you are brave enough, don't retreat!" Leng Qiao's face turned gloomy and his voice became extremely angry. He suddenly regretted that he didn't need to ask for help at all, he only needed to rely on Ba
The dangerous pass in Nancheng will definitely be no problem.
Xu Mu still didn't answer. He raised his head and judged the position of the defenders.
"Si Hu, take people to knock on the city gate."
Si Hu, who was wearing thick armor, hurriedly ran back. Not long after, he led hundreds of soldiers and rushed to the city gate holding the beating pole.
However, as soon as he rushed closer, a huge hanging iron barwood crashed down with a "bang".
"Common thief, is this your method?" Leng Qiao laughed angrily at the top of the city, "Go and ask those Nanbarbarians behind you, have they ever stepped foot into Banan City in so many years?"
Dou Tong, who was standing next to him, was instantly furious.
"Don't be anxious." Xu Mu consoled him without getting anxious or impatient.
In front of him, Si Hu and his men wanted to attack again, but the iron barwood pulled at an extremely fast speed, making the iron chain clang.
The soldiers who were attacking the city still refused to retreat. They held up their swords and shields and stepped on the city ladder to seize the barrier. The flying arrows from both the attacking and defending sides came and went, but in the end it was the endurance performance of the serial crossbow that had the upper hand and the shot was successful.
The bowmen at the top of the city did not dare to show their heads for a long time.
The white smoke under the city wall rose precariously in the rain.
"Dou Tong, the defenders changed their defenses several times."
"Including the Shield Camp, at least seven times."
Xu Mu nodded slightly.
I have to say that Leng Qiao is indeed a calm guard.
"Dou Tong, let someone push the rock-colliding cart."
The rock-breaking truck is to hide the falling rocks under a cover to prevent them from getting wet.
"My lord, Banan City is over four feet high and extremely thick. I'm afraid it won't collapse. Even the city gate has iron bars hanging down."
"nothing."
Dou Tong cupped his fists and hurriedly took the order and left with full of doubts.
Not long after, at least a dozen small wooden carts with one wheel slowly pushed over. Along the way, a large group of sword and shield soldiers closely guarded the front.
"Dou Tong, we will see if we capture Banan City this time."
"Notify the baggage camp, push the city wall, and immediately light the rockslide."
"Lord, this city wall cannot be broken down."
Xu Mu didn't answer. He originally didn't expect these great rockslides to be powerful. What he wanted was to attract the attention of the defenders. The delay was long enough to catch them off guard.
Under the flying arrows and boulders, more than ten small wooden carts were pushed all the way. In the end, half of them were destroyed. The rest were piled in one place.
"ignition!"
"ignition!!"
…
In the entire Pingman camp, there were only a thousand people hiding in the tunnels, and thousands more were hiding in the woods. They only waited for the signal to follow the tunnels and invade Banan City.
Mrs. Luan Yu picked up a native snake, hesitated for a moment, and released it aside.
"Master of the Big Cave, General Xu has begun to attack the city. If not, can we also attack?"
"Waiting for General Xu's signal." Mrs. Luan Yu said calmly. She understood that the Central Plains general did not send a signal, so he must have other considerations.
"This time, if we can follow General Xu into the middle of Shu, the lives of the plain barbarians will be better than before."
Next to Mrs. Luan Yu, several ordinary little cave masters nodded seriously. Meng Huo, who was further away, seemed a little sleepy and fell asleep holding his battle ax.
until--
Rumble.
There were explosions one after another, all of a sudden. The whole tunnel was shaken and began to shake.
Madam Luan Yu quickly drew out her two swords and roared. The plain barbarian camp of thousands of people followed suit and picked up their weapons.
Like a fierce tiger, Meng Huo opened his eyes hastily, grabbed his battle ax and was the first to rush forward. He ran so fast that even when he bent down, his head was covered with wet mud.
"The plain barbarians live up to their oath!"
The soil was smashed into pieces, and the beast-robed barbarians rushed out of the tunnel one by one, roaring.
Meng Huo happened to encounter Tinglei Camp head-on. Meng Huo's face was full of anger and he slashed forward with his axe. The head of the young captain of Tinglei Camp was cut off with half of his shoulders.
"Open the city gate and welcome General Xu!"
Countless warriors from the barbarian camp raised their weapons and roared.
