After hearing this voice, the expressions of Zhong Chi and Nie Xu suddenly changed.
The barbarians are coming!
The two of them reacted immediately.
Before they could speak, the defenders on the city wall had already taken the lead in sending a signal.
咻!
A rocket soared into the sky and then exploded in mid-air. The brilliant colors seemed to be holding some kind of celebration.
When the rocket blooms.
All the Black Tiger troops in Jin City raised their heads to look at the sky, just in time to see the peripheral light fall.
“Enemy attack!”
“The barbarians are coming, everyone be prepared!”
“Set up your crossbows and hold up the city gate!”
Orders were issued in an orderly manner, and all the Black Tiger troops started to move.
First, the Black Tiger Army came forward with shields in hand. The Black Tiger Army with long bows on their backs took two steps back, gave way, and at the same time removed the long bows from behind, waiting for the next order.
In the camp.
The moment the signal was given, Chu Ding walked out.
Other people in the tent followed closely behind him and walked out.
"Tiger roars and leopard roars, the barbarians have arrived. Judging from the source of the sound, it is indeed coming from the south gate. However, the barbarian army will definitely not attack only the south gate. You should quickly go to the other three gates and do your best.
Defense preparation.
Not seeking merit but seeking no fault, we must not allow barbarians to break into the city."
“I will obey your orders!”
The generals took orders and headed directly towards the other three city gates.
Outside the city.
The barbarian army is less than twenty miles away from Jincheng, and the city wall is already in sight.
“Lord Melba, shall we attack directly, or shall we set up camp first?”
A barbarian general rode forward on a tiger, bowed his head and asked Melba.
Melba looked forward, with a fierce light in his eyes.
"The people of Qin once said that one drum can be as powerful as a tiger, but they have said it again and again, and three times it is exhausted. There are only 12,000 defenders in the city of Jin. How can they be qualified to stop our army?"
If even a small Jincheng can stop our army, how can our army occupy the territory of Qin!"
"so"
"Pass my order, the army will not stop and attack the city with all its strength immediately. I will exert the due momentum at the first time. Even if I cannot conquer Jincheng, I will destroy their morale!"
Hear the words.
The barbarian general took the order.
“I will obey your orders!”
When the general left, Melba took out an unknown animal horn from his waist and suddenly blew it hard.
Woo
The melodious and thick sound covered dozens of miles, completely covering up all the sounds.
In an instant.
When hearing the sound of the horn, all the barbarians felt the blood in their bodies boiling, and the tigers and leopards under their crotches were also greatly stimulated.
Ouch!
Roar!
The beasts roared together with a roar that shook the heavens and the earth.
followed by.
They saw the beasts speeding up and rushing towards Jincheng.
When they were about to approach Jincheng, the barbarians riding on the backs of tigers and leopards took out their bows and arrows and shot towards the city wall without fear of bumps.
“Raise your shield!”
Wen Ce roared.
All the Black Tiger troops raised their shields instantly and stood there like a steel city wall.
唰!
唰!唰!
The arrow came through the air and landed on the iron shield. It only threw up some sparks and then fell down weakly.
After several rounds of arrow rain, the barbarians had completely reached an area less than ten feet away from Jincheng.
See this.
Part of the Black Tiger Army still raised their shields, but a portion of the Black Tiger Army had already stood behind their shields and fired their arrows directly in a projectile manner.
I saw dense arrows shooting into the sky, and then falling downwards at a very fast speed.
The arrow is sharp.
Moreover, the arrow body is made to be quite heavy, and combined with the speed of its fall, its power is not much worse than that of a direct shot.
In an instant.
Many barbarians were hit by arrows, screamed and fell down, and then were trampled into meat patties by the cavalry behind them.
There was a fierce exchange of arrows, and occasionally some arrows passed over the shields and hit the Black Tiger Army.
唰
With the long sword at his waist unsheathed, Wen Ce struck out like lightning, knocking away several oncoming arrows in less than a breath.
Looking at the approaching barbarian army below, his face was cold.
“Fire the arrow!”
give an order.
Another round of arrows flew up.
The Black Tiger Army occupies the advantage of the city wall. At the same time, as the elite of the Qin Dynasty, it is not comparable to ordinary soldiers. However, the barbarians are not weak, and they have a great advantage in numbers.
After several rounds of arrow rain exchanges, no one took any advantage.
in this way.
The tiger and leopard cavalry at the front have dispersed, and many armored barbarians came forward carrying ladders and set them directly on the city wall.
One by one, the barbarians climbed up the ladder.
Withdraw your shield and put away your long bow.
The black tiger soldiers all grasped their spears and stabbed them out continuously, piercing each and every barbarian who tried to climb up the city wall.
at the same time.
Some people also picked up big rocks and threw them down, cracking the heads of the barbarians below.
Some people pushed the ladder hard, trying to push it over, but there were many barbarians holding the ladder below, so it was not easy to push it over.
but.
There are also people who have successfully knocked down the ladder.
The fallen ladder also injured many barbarians.
Some unlucky barbarians were directly killed by ladders.
The battle started quickly.
As soon as they met, a fight broke out between the two sides.
The barbarians attacked fiercely.
But the Black Tiger Army is not weak at all.
In a short period of time, neither side has any obvious advantages.
唰
A barbarian who was lucky enough to climb onto the city wall saw a cold light coming into his eyes before he could take a breath. The next breath he felt his throat was cold, and when the blood spurted out, his body was weak and he fell down.
Looking at the person who took action again, it was Nie Xu who was wearing armor.
Nie Xu today.
He didn't look like a scholar at all. Although the armor on his body was not stained with blood, the long sword in his hand was dripping with blood.
“The third one!”
“I didn’t expect that I would be really useful!”
The magistrate of Jincheng shook his head and laughed.
He is not an ordinary scholar. When he was traveling in the world, he had practiced some martial arts and had some skills to protect himself.
It’s just that his martial arts talent is not good, and he has not made much achievements in martial arts.
That is so.
Nie Xu is still a warrior in the body-forging realm.
Especially in swordsmanship, he has his own unique understanding.
Normal barbarians are no match for him.
Suddenly.
An arrow shot through the sky.
Nie Xu's heart skipped a beat. Just when he raised his hand to block the arrow, a powerful force shook his long sword and the arrows continued to fall on him.
boom!!
The arrow collided with the armor, causing sparks to burst out.
Nie Xu was shocked by this powerful force and took two steps back, and his breathing became difficult.
for a long time.
He barely recovered and looked down at the slightly dented armor on his chest, feeling very happy in his heart.
Fortunately!
Before the war started, I borrowed a set of armor from the Black Tiger Army.
Otherwise, that arrow just now would have killed him directly.
The armor of the Black Tiger Army is different from the armor of other armies. The iron armor can protect most of the vital points of the body. This naturally makes the armor of the Black Tiger Army much heavier than ordinary armor.
That is to say, the elite of the Black Tiger Army. Every soldier has strong physical fitness and can wear such iron armor.
Otherwise.
As an ordinary soldier, not to mention fighting, just wearing iron armor and being able to move around freely would be considered good.
“Master Nie, are you okay?”
Concerned words came from my ears.
Nie Xu looked sideways and saw Zhongchi beheading a barbarian.
“It’s okay, no one will die.”
“It’s best if you don’t die. The city walls are dangerous. Lord Nie is still a scholar after all. I think you’d better go ahead first.”
“A mere barbarian deserves to be asked to retreat!”
Nie Xu sneered. Suddenly he stepped forward and slashed out with his long sword like an arc. In an instant, he cut off the head of a barbarian owl who had just emerged. Blood spattered and a lot of it fell on the armor.
“Good swordsmanship!”
This scene was directly seen by Zhong Chi.
“If Mr. Nie had not become an official, he would have become a famous knight in the arena in the future.”
The words just fell.
Another barbarian climbed onto the city wall. Zhongchi didn't waste any time and killed the barbarian directly.
He is a warrior in the realm of Tongmai, and his strength is not comparable to that of ordinary people.
Until now.
His identity as a steward is no longer important.
Barbarians siege the city.
There are only two outcomes. One is to hold the city until reinforcements from the court arrive, and the other is to destroy the city and kill everyone.
No one wants to die, and the same goes for Zhongchi.
Don’t want to die.
Then you must assist the Black Tiger Army in defending the city.
Boom!
The earth shook.
A giant ape that was two to three feet tall appeared from the darkness and walked toward the city wall step by step.
“That’s the Great Ape, get your crossbow ready!”
When he saw the giant ape appear, Wen Ce's expression suddenly changed.
He is no stranger to the Great Ape. It is the most powerful means of siege by the barbarians. In terms of overall strength, it can usually only compete with Tongmai realm warriors, but if it is a pure comparison of strength, it is not weaker than the innate warriors at all.
What’s more important is that the giant ape has rough skin and thick flesh, so it is not afraid of ordinary attacks.
When such a giant beast appears on the battlefield, it is a bloody storm.
As the order was given, the crossbows that had been placed on the city wall were aimed at the powerful ape that appeared, and then loaded with special arrows, they were suddenly launched.
Bang!!
The bowstring rebounded, making a loud noise.
The thick arrow instantly cut through the air and shot towards the powerful ape.
ifies
The great ape just stretched out his palm to catch the arrow, but in the end he missed it. The arrow passed through his hand and sank directly into his chest.
The sharp arrow, combined with the fierce force, pierced the skin of the great ape in an instant.
blood spurts.
The great ape let out an unwilling roar and fell to the ground.
The body of two to three feet fell to the ground, killing many barbarians again.
With the death of a powerful ape, Wen Ce was not happy at all, because more powerful apes were appearing in the barbarian camp and rushing towards the city wall.
Suddenly.
The intensity of the battle has risen to another level.
