The city walls were full of shouts, and their morale was not low at all, but was extremely high, because they believed that Yuan Shu would definitely return to rescue them.
"kill."
The 50,000 troops under the city surged directly towards the city wall like a wave, carrying ladders and pushing carts directly towards the city wall.
"Instruct the trebuchets to be assembled in the city."
"The crossbow, cock it."
"Archers prepare, fire arrows."
Xinye City instantly turned into a steel hedgehog, spreading death rain down the city.
Huang Kui, who was attacking, was also stunned. They had seen the world, but they had never seen such a terrifying defense. The bows and arrows were okay, but the defensive crossbows and trebuchets were a bit too scary.
The range of the city defense crossbow is very long. A wave of scattered bullets will directly cut off more than half of a team. The arrow of the city defense crossbow is more than one meter long. One crossbow can kill three or four people.
Huang Kui's first attack was not even halfway through when he collapsed, dropped the engineering equipment in his hand and ran towards the back.
"unlucky."
Seeing the soldiers collapse, Huang Kui had no choice. After all, the opponent was Yuan Shu's city. It was normal for them to have these weird things, but he didn't expect them to be so violent.
"General, what should we do?"
Seeing the soldiers collapse and run away, the captain approached Huang Kui again and asked.
"what to do?
The army is taking a break for the time being, and all the trucks have been pushed up. What else can we do? Let’s continue.”
Huang Kui is also on the verge of an attack. If his attack fails to put pressure on Xinye, then they will definitely not send people to ask Yuan Shu for help, so his mission will be impossible to complete.
"promise."
Huang Kui's military order was issued, and his troops took a short rest before launching another attack on the city wall.
"Again?
Let me continue to suppress them."
Seeing Huang Kui's men coming to kill again, Tian Yu directly ordered an all-out counterattack.
"Sir, we don't know how many days we are going to fight yet. We are attacking with all our strength now. What will we do when all our stone bullets and crossbow arrows are lost?"
After hearing Tian Yu's order, the captain once again spoke to stop him. Although they were Yuan Shu's supply center and they also stored a lot of stone bullets and city defense crossbows, these things would eventually be used up if they could not be taken out.
If they don't save now, if they really run out and can't wait for Yuan Shu's reinforcements, what will they do then?
"You are overthinking. The enemy only has 50,000 people. They are not elite soldiers like the Tiger Army or the Weilu Army. I am going to fight now, hard and will destroy all their morale.
Let them feel fear when they look at Xinye City. Even if the enemies without morale are not suppressed by those weapons, it will be impossible to kill them on the city wall.
Besides, the damage of these city-defending weapons is not low. In the end, it doesn’t matter whether he has more people than us.”
Tian Yu was not afraid of the captain's worries at all. In his opinion, these things were just unfounded worries. Even if all the equipment used to defend the city were wiped out, he would not be afraid of the rabble.
"promise."
Since Tian Yu said this, the captain directly accepted the order with clasped fists, and then ordered his trebuchets and city guard crossbows to continue to use their power to attack the charging enemies.
The defense of Xinye City was very tight. The crossbows and trebuchets used to defend the city were not stopped at all. Huang Kuijun was so beaten that he could no longer take care of himself. Several trucks were also torn apart, and some were injured.
However, Huang Kui did not say retreat, and these people did not dare to retreat. They could only push the remaining three carts to continue attacking the city wall.
"The ladder is coming up, and the archers are gathering to shoot."
"Rolling logs and rocks, hit me."
"Golden juice, has it boiled? Go down the ladder and let them have a taste."
The school lieutenant was responsible for commanding the siege. After the enemy had experienced the previous attack, they finally rushed to the edge of the city wall, set up a ladder and began to attack.
Suddenly, arrows rained down, rolling logs and rocks, and boiling gold juice were all poured over the heads of Huang Kui's soldiers who were attacking the city, as if they were free of charge.
The human tragedy is nothing more than this, countless soldiers were buried under the city wall.
Finally, the last three carts failed to advance to the Xinye city wall and were smashed into pieces. Seeing this, the soldiers who attacked the city wall collapsed instantly. Without waiting for Huang Kui's order, they fled in panic and ran away from the city wall.
"withdraw troops."
After looking at the demoralized soldiers, Huang Kui knew that it was impossible to do anything today, so he could only shake his head and order the troops to withdraw.
"Sir, they have withdrawn their troops."
Seeing that the enemy had withdrawn, the captain came directly to report the news to Tian Yu.
"Isn't it expected that they would withdraw their troops?
Why are you so happy? Tell the soldiers not to relax and be ready to deal with the enemy's attack at any time."
Looking at the excited captain, Tian Yu couldn't help but straighten his expression and spoke sharply to him.
"promise."
Seeing Tian Yu's face, the captain knew that he was a bit unpretentious, so he immediately saluted him with clasped fists, and then arranged his soldiers to guard against possible sneak attacks by the enemy.
When the captain left, Tian Yu walked to the edge of the city wall. Looking at the soldiers going away, he couldn't help but clenched his fists.
The next day, Huang Kui led his men to make a comeback, but faced with the iron-barrel-like Xinye City, he had no choice but to attack for a whole day and had no choice but to retreat again after losing troops and generals to no avail.
"Sir, when will Huang Chao and the others launch their attack?"
The captain came to Huang Kui and asked Huang Chao, who was entering the city, when he would launch his attack.
"The agreement I made with him was to launch the third watch on the third day, order the soldiers to take action on the second watch, and arrive outside the city on the third watch to cooperate with Huang Chao in the city to capture Xinye."
Huang Kui glanced at the captain and said that the time agreed with him was tonight, hoping that Huang Chao would not disappoint him.
"promise."
At the second watch of the day, Huang Kui's army came out of camp and rushed directly to the foot of Xinye City. However, the lights on the city wall were brightly lit, and there was no sign of attacking the city gates inside the city.
"Sir, Huang Kui has led his troops to kill us."
Soon the soldiers were on the wall, and someone came to report the news to Tian Yu.
"Immediately follow me up to the city wall, and put the stored heads on the trebuchet, and launch them at my command."
When he heard that Huang Kui's men were coming to kill him, Tian Yu was so excited that he got up immediately, put on a piece of clothing and climbed up the city wall under the protection of soldiers.
"Huang Kui, why are you here if you don't sleep at night?
Doesn’t it still hurt in the past two days?”
Huang Kui looked at the soldiers and horses under the city with a hint of teasing in his eyes. He knew why the other party came. He must have thought that he had sneaked into the city and had agreed to steal the city tonight, so he came here in the middle of the night.
"Tian Yu, if you know what's going on, surrender immediately and order the soldiers to beat the drums and prepare to attack."
Seeing Tian Yu's appearance, Huang Kui still didn't know that his soldiers had been taken away by a group, so he directly ordered the soldiers to beat drums and attack the city. This was to send a message to Huang Chao in the city, asking him to launch an attack immediately to capture the city.
Door, create opportunities for yourself.
"Dong dong dong."
"Dong dong dong."
"Dong dong dong."
Continuous war drums shook the sky, and Huang Kui's soldiers prepared to attack the city wall.
"Huang Kui, I give you a gift. I think you will like it. Put those heads on the trebuchet and launch it."
Seeing that the enemy was preparing to attack, Tian Yu smiled slightly and directly ordered the heads to be placed on the trebuchet, and then projected directly outside the city.
"Trebuchet, shield defense."
Hearing the sound of the trebuchet, the soldiers under the city tensed up in an instant. Shields appeared one after another, and there was a trace of chaos in the originally neat army.
"boom."
"boom."
"boom."
Countless human-headed cannonballs fell from the sky and landed on Huang Kui's army. Some people hit the shields and turned into pieces. Some hit the people, leaving a bloody mess. Some fell on the open space and turned into pieces.
beyond recognition.
"vomit."
"What's this?
vomit."
"puff."
After the cannonballs were fired, the soldiers under Huang Kui finally had some time to spare, but if they didn't look at it, everyone would keep gagging.
"what's the situation?"
Listening to the sound of vomiting one after another, Huang Kui couldn't help but feel slightly dazed and asked what was going on.
"General, ugh."
"What they were shooting was not stone bullets at all, but human heads."
"Vomit, a bloody human head."
After hearing Huang Kui's inquiry, the personal guards around him came directly to report the news to him, but as he spoke, he couldn't help but feel sick. Soldiers are naturally used to seeing life and death, but so many bloody heads, to be honest, ordinary people see
