Zhu Shuang transmigrated into the body of the second son of the Old Zhu family in the Great Ming Dynasty. Right from the start, he was expelled from the capital for stealing something from Xu Miaoy...
Outside Songming City, a strange look flashed in Darima's eyes.
But soon, as if he hadn't heard the shouts and cries from the city wall, he rode on his horse with an expressionless face and uttered two words coldly and ruthlessly: "Blow the horn!"
A long horn sounded in the army. It was the Mongolian horn urging them to fight. When the infantry heard the horn sound, their steps became more determined and they walked straight forward. The soldiers in the front row were getting closer and closer to the row of falling arrows.
The Yuan general in the front row drew out the scimitar from his waist and raised it high the moment he stepped over the row of arrows.
“Huh…Huh…”
The roar of the former Yuan general was so loud and fierce that it exploded almost instantly above the infantry phalanx behind him.
“Huh…Huh…”
More former Yuan generals roared, their voices passionate. Almost in an instant, everyone in the infantry phalanx of tens of thousands of people let out a crazy roar.
Tens of thousands of people roared at the same time, and the shock was unimaginable and indescribable.
That voice could definitely make any soldier's blood boil, cast aside the fear in his heart, and never have even the slightest thought of retreating. Even if he was about to face death in the next second, he would still move forward without hesitation.
On the city wall, the soldiers whose courage had just been inspired by Yu Jin were instantly stunned by the uniform roar.
The roar of tens of thousands of Mongols gave them an unprecedented shock. The roar that never stopped seemed to shatter the Songming City and all the people here. Many people's eyes revealed uncontrollable horror.
Only Yu Jin, facing this scene, sneered, snatched the longbow from the stunned soldier beside him, bent the bow and drew the arrow, and shot an arrow at the former Yuan general who had just stepped past the arrow outside the city.
The arrow flew out of the bow, chasing the stars and the moon, and accurately hit a former Yuan general.
The former Yuan general, who was wildly waving his scimitar and roaring the moment before, fell to the ground the next moment and was silent.
But the Mongolian soldiers behind him completely ignored the corpses under their feet and continued to walk towards the city wall in front of them without hesitation.
This is the fierceness of the Mongolian cavalry. Darima knew very well that siege was a war of attrition, so the soldiers he sent to attack were all the fiercest soldiers under his command. These people fought regardless of the death of their companions and would never stop unless Darima gave the order himself.
"Archers, attack indiscriminately!" On the city wall, Yu Jin swung his sword towards the outside of the city again. The archers behind him immediately jumped forward like a cat whose tail was stepped on, drawing their bows and arrows, shooting wildly at the former Yuan soldiers outside the city.
Many of the Yuan soldiers were shot by arrows and fell to the ground, but more of them held up their shields in one hand and used their free hands to push or lift heavy siege equipment, and began to speed up their approach to the city wall.
"Shoot, shoot, shoot those bastards!"
On the city wall, Yu Jin waved the sword in his hand wildly, and waves of arrows shot out of the city like they were free. More Mongolian soldiers fell to the ground, but still no one retreated. Soon, the distance between the former Yuan army and the city wall was no more than a hundred steps.
"Enemy attack!"
On the city wall, Yu Jin and others were shooting vigorously when they suddenly heard a loud shout behind them. The shout sounded very familiar. Everyone turned around and found that it was Zhu Chong on the Victory Tower.
Zhu Chong's roar made many people feel strange, but it also woke up many people, especially the shield bearers on the main city wall.
The shieldmen were in the front row of the city wall just now. Because they blocked the archers' shooting, they retreated to both sides of the city wall. They were the first to react. After discovering something was wrong, they immediately raised their huge shields and rushed madly towards the battlements of the city wall.
The archers on the main city wall had not yet come to their senses. When they reacted, they heard the sound of arrows being shot. When they looked up, they saw a dark cloud falling from the sky.
Many people were stunned on the city wall, staring blankly at the dark clouds falling from the sky. Many people screamed in horror and rushed towards the shield bearer, but more people were running wildly on the city wall like frightened rabbits.
Those people instinctively dropped their weapons and looked for places to hide. Like frightened birds, they scattered in an instant. In the blink of an eye, there was no one on the entire city wall except the shield bearers and a small number of archers.
The arrows shot by the former Yuan Dynasty archers were madly showing off their power at a distance of one hundred steps below Songming City. The long swords they shot out, accompanied by sharp and piercing whistles, shot fiercely at the Songming city wall.
There were bursts of terrifying "rubbing" sounds coming from both inside and outside the Songming city wall, and dark clouds of arrows continued to cover the entire city wall.
A large number of arrows were not shot with enough force when they were shot upwards, and they were either directly nailed into the city wall or fell directly under the city wall. Some arrows were shot with too much force and flew directly out of the main city wall and fell under the city wall between the main city wall and the Victory Tower.
But more arrows still exerted their original power, flew onto the city wall and caused damage.
A large number of arrows directly hit the shields. The impact force caused by the arrows directly pressed the shield bearers to the ground, unable to move. Some long arrows hit the ground of the city wall, causing them to rebound and shoot into the soldiers' bodies at a tricky angle.
Suddenly, screams and various shouts were heard from the city wall from time to time, and the city wall of Songming City was in a precarious state.
Darima rode on his warhorse, looking into the distance at the huge damage his infantry had caused to the Ming people in Songming City. He smiled with satisfaction and then waved behind him.
"Woo woo..." The passionate horn sounded again, instantly resounding inside and outside Songming City.
The Yuan infantry soldiers, who had been on full alert for a long time, immediately rushed towards Songming City without hesitation.
The arrow array of the former Yuan soldiers attacking the city became thicker, and more former Yuan infantrymen were ready to set up siege ladders on the city walls.
On the city wall, the shield soldiers had already suffered terribly under the fierce bombardment of the Yuan Dynasty archers. Many of them took advantage of the gaps between the rain of arrows to hide under the city wall, leaving only a dozen unlucky guys who were shot in the legs by arrows, holding up huge shields and struggling to hold on.
The entire main city wall was covered with dense long arrows like a hedgehog. Under the city wall, a large number of former Yuan infantrymen took advantage of the rare gap without attack and, under the cover of their own archers, had already set up more than a dozen ladders directly on the city wall.
Seeing the Mongolian soldiers climbing to the middle of the ladders on the Songming city wall, Darima smiled even more happily. He waved his arms vigorously, and the horn sounded again. Another group of Mongolian infantrymen pressed towards Songming City.
