"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.
"Our Banan City has high walls and thick walls, and common thieves will use your methods at all costs!"
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 spree belongs to the Pingman camp who are waiting for the opportunity.
"Fengzi Camp, climb first!"
As a mountain city, there is no moat outside Banan City. Most of the traps previously laid out were also removed.
At this time, the city ladders, one after another, found an opportunity and quickly pressed forward under the lasing 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 and white smoke was rising all over their bodies, and they fell from the city ladder.
The body rolled into the rainwater, still sizzling with smoke.
"Liannu Camp, cover the troops who advance first!"
The defending soldiers who emerged were constantly shot by crossbows. Some lay dead on the spot, while others fell from the top of the city coughing blood.
The surviving defenders covered their wounds and huddled under the female wall.
"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 guns were thrust down from the shield wall, and after hooking 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 away by the ripples of rain. Before long, there were bloody plum blossoms everywhere as far as the eye could see.
"Lord, over there at the Pingman Camp—" Dou Tong looked anxious.
Xu Mu's face was solemn. He didn't want his soldiers to die in vain, but the timing was wrong and the Pingman camp could not 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.
A bunch of huge rocks were pushed down from the city wall.
Bang, bang, bang.
Even though he was holding a shield, his head was still covered in 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 darkened, and his voice became extremely angry. He suddenly regretted that there was no need to ask for help. As long as Banan City was dangerous, it would be no problem.
Xu Mu still didn't answer, raised his head, and judged the defenders' formation.
"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 how many years?"
Dou Tong, who was beside him, suddenly became furious.
"Don't be anxious." Xu Mu comforted 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 attacked 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. The walking bow that hit the top of the city did not dare to take the lead for a long time.
The white smoke under the city wall rose precariously in the rain.
"Dou Tong, the defenders have changed their defense several times."
"Including the Great Shield Camp, at least seven times."
Xu Mu nodded slightly.
It has to be said that Leng Qiao is indeed a calm guard.
"Dou Tong, let someone push the rock crushing 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 with full of doubts.
Not long after, at least a dozen wheelbarrows slowly rolled over. Along the way, a large group of sword and shield soldiers were closely guarding the front.
"Dou Tong, we'll see if we can capture Banan City this time."
"Notify the baggage camp, push the city wall, and immediately light the rockslide."
"Lord, this wall cannot be broken down."
Xu Mu didn't answer. He had not expected how powerful these giant rocks could be. What he wants is to attract the attention of these defenders. The delay was long enough to catch him 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 together 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, 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, and he must have other considerations.
"This time, if we can follow General Xu into Sichuan, 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. It shook so hard that the entire tunnel began to shake.
Madam Luan Yu quickly drew out her two swords and let out a roar. The plain barbarian camp of thousands of people followed suit and took up arms.
Like a fierce tiger, Meng Huo opened his eyes hastily, grabbed his battle ax and was the first to rush forward. I ran so fast that even when I bent down, my 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 young captain of Tinglei Camp had his head and half of his shoulders cut off in one fell swoop.
"Open the city gate and welcome General Xu!"
Countless warriors from the barbarian camp raised their weapons and roared.
