"Pfft." The bloodstained musket pierced a guard's throat, not pausing for a second before the tip was withdrawn, spraying crimson blood three feet away. Like a shower of colorful blossoms, they fall on the walls and splash onto the ground. Blood beads and dust mingled, fusing into one, coalescing into a pool of blood. The yellowish-brown rough brick has become hard to discern its original appearance, now it is a fiery red. The wind was still blowing, fiercely so, but it couldn't wash away the metallic scent of blood. Instead, it only seemed to spread it further throughout the city walls. Although it was winter, Gao Shun was sweating profusely, with beads of sweat rolling down his forehead and almost reaching his eyes. However, he had no time to wipe them away at this moment. Bend your waist, draw in your abdomen, and focus your eyes forward. With a flick of the wrist, the Broken Wind Spear surged forward again with unstoppable momentum! "Bang!" A bayonet pierced a soldier's chest. Despite having armor protection, it was as if nothing stood in the way of this sharp and deadly point! This thrust went straight into the soldier's chest! Gao Shun did not lower his spear, he merely let out a loud bellow! He sprinted forward, shoving the soldier into the crowd with a head-first impact! The elongated spear pierced through, exiting the soldier's back and entering the body of the man behind him! Screams and wails rang out through the crowd! Only then did Gao Shun suddenly draw back his spear, shuddering throughout his body and shaking off the sweat from his brow. The soldiers on the side, now wielding long spears, roared and charged towards more of the defending soldiers! The incessant clang of metal against metal and the continuous roars reverberated through this battlefield, making this slaughterhouse even more frenzied. At this time, at the foot of the city wall, more soldiers from the siege camp were climbing onto the wall. Unknowingly, there were more and more people on the city wall. Not only that, those cloud ladders and battering rams have also successfully crossed the moat! But at this time, the fierce battle raging on the city walls had already left these defenders with no time or attention to spare in intercepting them. Moments later, the troops from the rear had arrived at the city gate with their weapons. Ladder after ladder was set up against the walls, making it much easier for the soldiers below to climb up. After all, climbing with a stepping arrow is still a technical skill. Ladders were set up against the walls, and the soldiers at the city gate also had important matters to attend to! Beside the colossal tank, soldiers strained at ropes, hauling the massive battering ram backward. Every man gritted his teeth, their faces flushed with exertion. "Go for it!" With roars echoing through the air, the battering ram was pulled back, revealing the imposing city gate before it. At this moment, within the city walls, countless soldiers had gathered. Some people were constantly running up to the city walls for support, while others stood behind the city gate, each one nervously watching that gate. Being so close, they could clearly hear the roars coming from outside the city gate. These heart-stopping roars made them even more nervous, their hands instinctively clenching on their weapons. Behind that heavy city gate, several massive trees are now braced against it. These trees are deeply rooted in the ground, their other ends propping up the gate, making it incredibly sturdy! At this very moment, a deafening roar came from outside the city gate: "Release!" As soon as this command was given, all the soldiers' hearts were raised to their throats. "Boom!" a loud bang echoed! That city gate trembled visibly, and the giant trees supporting it swayed along with it. Even the ground rose in dust! Everyone understood that it was a wooden ram striking the city gate! "Don't just stand there! Quickly! Hold the city gates!" a general shouted. As soon as the words left his mouth, several soldiers rushed forward. They grasped the giant tree and pushed with all their might against the city gate. Just a moment later— "Bang!" Another loud bang echoed, and the city gate shook again. This time, a crack even appeared in the middle! The gap was not large, but through it the defenders could already see faces outside the city gate! "Don't let them in! Hold the line for me!" Then the general shouted again. At the same time, on top of the city wall, people were falling one after another! The general, seeing these corpses, shuddered and visibly grew panicked. "Oh no! Can't even handle the noodles anymore?" As soon as he spoke. "Rustling" A few short arrows flew from the top of the city wall, and they were aimed not elsewhere but at the inner gate, aiming straight for them! The general was startled. He dodged arrows while looking up. Only to see on the city wall, several crossbowmen were loading their crossbows. Standing on the battlements, they fired arrow after arrow! Above the city walls, after killing their way up to the camp, the back wei soldiers also soon climbed up the ladders! The soldiers on the city walls were no match for them at all, they had already been routed and slaughtered! Just then—— With a deafening "BOOM!", another earth-shattering explosion echoed from the city gate. This time, the gap in the city gate was even wider, and even the giant tree that held the gate up had begun to warp. Wood chips flew everywhere, and dust billowed across the ground. Everyone panicked. In the midst of the chaos, a lone figure swiftly descended the stairs from the city wall. "I can't hold on any longer! Let's run!" The one going downstairs isn't a stranger, it's Li Hai who has already lost his three souls and seven spirits! Seeing more and more soldiers climbing onto the city tower, Li Hai could no longer contain himself and hurriedly went down. And as he descended the stairs, a voice shouted from the battlement: "Want to run? Come and fight me!" Zhang Liao, along with the first batch of soldiers from the back wei army, climbed onto the city wall through a cloud ladder. Afterwards, he joined forces with Gao Shun to wipe out the soldiers on the city wall. When Zhang Liao saw Li Hai's attire, he knew he was a general and wanted to fight him. However, the moment their eyes met, Li Hai turned and ran away. At this moment, hearing Zhang Liao's battle cry, Li Hai was terrified and didn't hesitate anymore. He rushed into the inner city. As soon as Li Hai left, those soldiers from Zhu Cheng, who were already terrified, saw their commander had departed. With a shout of “哗”, a large group of soldiers followed suit and ran away. The defenders were both angry and anxious, and hurriedly shouted, “Come back! Hold the city gate for me!” "Bang!" The city gate was still under heavy attack, and the breach was growing larger. The soldiers holding onto the massive tree were shaken in their chests by the impact. When the general saw the breach widen, large enough for a man to pass through, he urgently shouted: “Quickly, defend the city gate! Kill anyone who comes in!” Just then, a deafening roar came from outside the door. "Halt! Who dares approach!" The sound was like thunder, and the soldiers near the city gate jumped in fright, their bodies shaking violently. Before the terrified gazes of everyone, a knife slashed open the gap in the city gate. This strike came swiftly and forcefully, even cleaving a piece of wood from the gap in the gate. From the expanded cavity, a face contorted in rage protruded. It is exactly "Tiger Marquis" Xu Zhu! Then another roar came from behind: "Get in there and block me!" One person leaped forward, and then another large man jumped out behind him. Here is the translation: This is Dian Wei, "Evil from the Ancients"! Dian Wei burst into the room with a roar, "Come! Taste my twin halberds!" In the midst of roars, Dian Wei appeared mad, utterly insane! He brandished his double halberds, flanking Xu Zhu left and right, leaping forward.... |
