The shrill horn sounded, and the siege began.
As the trumpets died down and hisses filled the void, the soldiers loaded heavy stones onto the catapults. Then pull the crowbar.
"Bang, bang, bang." A sharp roar came from the air, and then countless boulders fell from the sky, hitting the wall of Suirong City accurately with extremely fast acceleration.
"The boulder is coming! Dodge. Dodge, spread out." Following Liu Mo's shout, the Rongcheng defenders immediately panicked and hid in their respective bunkers.
"Boom, boom, boom!" Loud sounds penetrated the cochlea one after another.
Liu Mo saw a huge boulder hit an unlucky Daxia soldier, and the soldier was instantly blown into meat patties. The boulders continued to roll, and the Daxia defenders along the way hurriedly dodged, and those who couldn't dodge were ruthlessly crushed.
A huge boulder hit the city wall, causing the wall to crack and debris flying everywhere.
Out of fear, some Daxia soldiers chose to hide in the arrow tower. However, as soon as they stepped in, they saw a huge boulder falling...
In less than a moment, shouts appeared in Rong City, including the shouts of those who were crushed by the boulder and the roars of the sergeants, intertwined with bursts of thunder.
The catapults in the front row were launched, and the catapults in the second row were ready. With the order from the generals of the Zhou Dynasty, the second wave of attacks began again.
Rongcheng, which is neither big nor small, is suffering cruel destruction.
"Boom, boom, boom!" Every sound made the Daxia defenders suffer.
Under the cover of the boulders, the Zhou Dynasty's large siege weapons such as ram chariots, nest chariots, and ladders had quietly approached.
In order to cause accidental damage, the catapult would definitely stop attacking. Thinking of this, Liu Mo immediately stood up from behind the bunker.
"All the soldiers of Daxia, kill them all!"
After giving the order, the defenders finally responded, with a thick rain of arrows and boulders falling from the city wall. The attackers hesitated for a moment, then their formation was broken, and they had to turn and run away, regrouping again soon after.
But this time, the Zhou Dynasty army also had a countermeasure.
They held their giant shields high like a roof to block the attacks from above. In the middle of the formation was a huge charging chariot. At the rear, a group of archers swarmed to shoot arrows to suppress the defenders on the city wall.
In this way, the Zhou Dynasty army rushed to the door, and under the operation of many pairs of strong arms, the rams crashed into the city gate again and again. If anyone was killed by a boulder dropped by the defenders, other soldiers immediately came to support.
Time and time again, the huge city-breaking hammer hit the city gate hard.
Liu Mo and Zhu Min heard the deafening knocking sound of the rushing car again and again. They knew that the city gate was in danger and could not hold on for long.
"Brother Zhu, are you sure it is Lu Sheng who came to support?"
"I guarantee with my head that it must be him!" Although Zhu Min said this, he also murmured in his heart.
"Then why aren't you here? How long will it take?" Liu Mo frowned.
It turned out that after receiving the news of reinforcements, Liu Mo had a bold plan.
What could be better than a surprise attack on an attacking force in the midst of an all-out siege? So, he asked Zhao Da to find all the pigeons in Rongcheng and release them together with Zhu Min's carrier pigeons.
He wanted to inform the Daxia reinforcements of his plan, slow down, lie in wait, and wait for the Zhou Dynasty to attack the city with all its strength before launching an attack.
Yang Yizhi, even if you are capable, you would never have thought that I would be so crazy and use myself as bait to tempt you to attack the city!
Second, think from my perspective. Even if Yang Yizhi guesses my intention, Rongcheng is within easy reach, do you want it or not? If not, reinforcements have arrived. Either withdraw or start a war of attrition!
Obviously, Yang Yizhi chose the former and attacked the city with all his strength!
But now the problem is coming, the siege has begun, why don’t reinforcements show up!
Didn't the homing pigeon fly out?
"Bang, bang, bang!" The loud noise made by the rushing car made Liu Mo feel irritable. After a closer look, he saw that the huge door frame and the iron bars above were bent, and many wooden boards had cracks.
Once the city gate is lost, there is no need to explain what it means.
But at this time, bigger trouble appeared!
"Boom!"
Zhou Dynasty's carriages and ladders have crashed into the city wall.
The next second, hundreds of soldiers from the Zhou Dynasty came out of the carriages.
This change meant that the chariot-rushing troops could attack the city gates without scruples. The only Daxia defenders who could threaten them had to abandon them and fight against the Zhou Dynasty soldiers on the city walls!
"First get rid of the trash on the city wall!" Zhu Min spat, "Form up, form up!"
There was no time to worry about reinforcements, so Liu Mo and Zhu Min organized the soldiers to gather quickly.
He stood in front of him holding the steel sword "Oath", and the helmet on top blocked most of his sight. Zhu Min is on his right hand, wearing armor, and his sharp eyes reveal murderous intent.
On his left hand, Liu Mo was surprised to find Gong Xiaorou following with her sword raised. "You..." Liu Mo said bitterly, "Go back!"
"Absolutely!" Gong Xiaorou replied in a low voice.
Liu Mo had no time to argue with her. "Then follow me, keep close!"
Everyone was standing close together, shoulder to shoulder, walking along the wall. The ground was wet and slippery, half mud and half blood.
In an instant, the soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty were approaching.
"Get ready!" Zhu Min ordered again.
The next second, they collided fiercely with the soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty.
For a moment, there was the sound of swords and guns slashing, the sword piercing the throat, the deceased let out a final grunt, the spear pierced the body, accompanied by waves of screams of pain intertwined.
There were already piles of corpses in front of Zhu Minshan. He no longer knew whether his doctor had chopped down six or seven, and he had no energy to care.
The spear of a Daxia defender pierced a Zhou soldier in front of him, but the soldier used his last strength to hold his spear tightly. He angrily lifted the Zhou soldier off the ground, and the gun barrel broke immediately.
Another Zhou Dynasty soldier immediately stabbed him with a spear. Liu Mo immediately waved his sword and cut the Zhou Dynasty soldier's head in two.
After paying the price of more than a dozen people, the group of enemies in front of them were repulsed.
However, Liu Mo couldn't be happy, because at this moment, there was a loud "Boom!"
Liu Mo was shocked. He knew that this was the sound of the city gate being smashed.
The sky became clear at this time, the heavy rain had passed, and the slowly setting moon gave off a dazzling light, but this light could not bring any hope to the soldiers of Daxia.
There seem to be more and more enemies in front of you, and more enemies are gathering in the distance.
The grappling hooks kept being thrown under the city wall made the defenders exhausted, and the action of cutting the ropes could not keep up with the speed of them being thrown up. Countless siege ladders were erected against the wall. Many ladders were smashed by the defenders, but more ladders rushed up.
The soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty climbed up the ladder quickly, as agile as apes in the forest. There were piles of corpses in the corner, but the enemies turned a blind eye and swarmed towards them.
"Aren't you coming yet?" Liu Mo frowned, "I can't hold it anymore!"
