Only Yu Chen and a few guards were left on the city tower. The others were helping to spread straw and move the people. According to the speed of the barbarians, it could still take a while. The temperature was low at night, and the ice cream cones were stronger than expected.
There are so many, even if you use a shovel or a sharp tool, it will take a lot of effort to smash just a little bit.
Why did siege engines appear in the barbarian camp? Yu Chen couldn't figure out the reason. He remembered that when he was conquering the world, he ordered people to build only twenty siege engines, and it took a huge amount of manpower to build these machines.
Material power moves very slowly. Yu Chen designed this thing because of its great power.
Wait, what did Yu Chen think of again? Since the movement speed is slow and the range cannot be too close, if an elite cavalry is sent to sneak attack, it is possible to burn them.
However, the barbarians may also know this and must have sent heavy troops to protect these siege engines.
It's not easy to destroy them
Now he has no one in his hands, and Du Ping is too young to bear such a heavy burden. This little Xia Youcheng has not experienced war for a long time, and he knows without thinking that there are no outstanding generals. It can be said that "a clever woman cannot make a meal without rice."
If Siyan could be by his side at this moment, he wouldn't be so sad and heartbroken.
"My lord, it seems that the barbarians have sent troops over and want to attack the city at the same time..."
Yu Chen could see clearly that the fire dispersed again and attacked the city wall. They seemed to know that the opportunity to fight was not to be missed. They used siege engines and sent troops to attack the city.
"Quickly mobilize three thousand crossbowmen and get all the arrows..." Yu Chen hurriedly ordered people to mobilize the troops. The barbarians are now shuttling in the ice cone formation, and the war horses cannot be ridden at all, so they can only march on foot.
If you use a crossbow to fight back, it will definitely have a surprising effect
It took ten minutes, and the three thousand soldiers had been mobilized, and the barbarian soldiers had almost arrived near Loucheng. A confrontation between the two armies emerged. In fact, what worried Yu Chen the most was the Chu army. He still didn’t know their whereabouts.
Intention, if they are enemies, they can occupy Xiayou City without any effort. If they are friends, why don't they send someone to discuss retreating from the enemy?
This gave Yu Chen a headache, but he couldn't show his worries. After all, he was the commander-in-chief.
"Where did Governor Liu go?" Yu Chen asked one of the soldiers.
"Prefect Liu is busy directing the transfer of the people..."
"Oh..." Yu Chen said softly, and then continued: "In this case, please help me tell Prefect Liu that the safety of the people in Xiayou City depends on him..."
