"Up to the city wall!!!"
The soldiers of the Trapped Camp roared deafeningly as they charged forward fearlessly.
A group of people rushed to the foot of the city wall without the slightest hesitation or doubt.
He stepped onto the trampling arrow that was deeply embedded in the city wall!
Two steps, three steps...
The wind was blowing hard, and soldiers on the city wall were still shooting arrows at them.
Three steps, four steps, five steps...
The stumbling arrows were randomly stuck in the city wall, without any pattern or path.
But the absence of a road doesn't mean it's impassable!
Anything that you can hold onto, anything that you can step on, anything that you can grasp firmly, is a road!
Walking on flat ground only requires two feet, but climbing upwards requires an indomitable and unwavering determination!
With the Wind-Breaking Spear strapped behind his back, Gao Shun freed his hands. He leaped up, grabbed the shaft of the Stepping Arrow, and then, using his strength, swayed and grabbed another Stepping Arrow!
Just then, an arrow flew close to his face.
Gao Shun hurriedly moved closer to the city wall, barely managing to avoid it. There happened to be a stepping arrow under his feet, which he quickly stepped on to steady himself.
Seeing the arrows constantly being shot at him from above, Gao Shun was extremely anxious and wished he could jump up and kill them with his spear.
Fewer and fewer people followed him up the city wall.
Many people were hit by arrows, or fell while trying to avoid them.
However, the arrows were not fired continuously downwards, but in bursts, because the large army in the rear provided strong long-range support.
On the other side of the moat, crossbows fired arrows incessantly, their dense firepower covering the city walls.
Of course, they would no longer shoot trampling arrows at the city wall at this moment, otherwise they would accidentally injure the Trapped Battalion who were climbing the city wall. But for this reason, all the firepower fell on the city tower.
With his back against the city wall, Gao Shun got a moment to catch his breath. He exhaled a breath of stale air, but his eyes were full of excitement!
Several pontoon bridges have been erected across the moat, and many soldiers from the Trapped Camp have already crossed over. Meanwhile, the large war machines are slowly moving forward!
The battles to come will go much more smoothly.
Soldiers will climb the city walls, and those siege ladders will help them climb even faster!
Once the heavy battering rams are brought in and break through the city gates, the army can march straight in and storm into the city!
"hiss--"
Gao Shun took a deep breath, carefully turned his body, aimed at the few stepping arrows above, and leaped out!
——
A moment later.
From behind, Zhang Liao raised his arm and shouted, "Quick! Quick! Throw the stones now! Throw the rest of the stones onto the city wall!"
"Once they climb the city wall, it will be too late!"
At a command, the soldiers loaded the remaining stones into the magazines, then pulled the ropes, carefully aimed at the city tower, and then released them sharply.
With a loud "boom".
The boulders in the chamber shot out and crashed towards the distant city tower!
"Keep the crossbows firing, and make sure you aim carefully! Stop as soon as they climb the city wall!"
"Don't hurt my own brothers!"
"Rustle, rustle, rustle"
The iron-feathered arrow pierced the sky, carrying an indomitable momentum, and shot into the city tower!
At this moment, the city walls of the outer city were littered with corpses. Countless people had died from the hail of arrows, and now huge stones were being thrown at them. They were truly utterly terrified!
Even so, the garrison commander continued to shout:
"Not a single one is allowed to retreat! Hold the line to the death!"
As he spoke, he even personally set up the ballista and fired it into the distance!
"Boom boom boom!"
Huge rocks fell towards the city walls, some even landing inside the city. Some of the soldiers guarding the city walls were also hit, and they hurriedly retreated, moving away from the city walls.
These boulders caused considerable damage to the people on the city wall. Some soldiers who were shooting arrows were smashed to pieces, and even the ballistae were destroyed.
Fortunately, there weren't too many of these boulders; they were gone after only two volleys.
The garrison commander was lucky; he was neither killed by the incoming iron-feathered arrows nor struck by the boulder.
But his expression did not ease at all; on the contrary, it became even more serious.
The enemy stopped throwing stones, and even the crossbow bolts came much less frequently; they... seemed to have stopped their offensive!
This made him even more nervous.
The reason is simple: right here under this outer city wall, a large number of soldiers from the opposite side have already gathered!
The soldiers, like they didn't care about their lives, ran wildly towards the city wall, braving the dense barrage of arrows!
Countless arrows were fired downwards, but none could stop their advance.
And now, there are still many enemy soldiers climbing the outer city wall.
Having focused on dealing with the enemy in front, they neglected to intercept the enemy on the city wall. The garrison commander left the ballista, took out a bow and arrow from his back, and quickly walked to the battlements, intending to shoot down a few more enemy soldiers.
Just as I reached the battlements, I heard a whooshing sound!
The next instant, what appeared before his eyes was a long spear thrusting upwards!
The garrison commander's eyes narrowed, and he hurriedly picked up his longbow and attacked!
With a loud "bang," the wooden longbow was pierced in two by a spear, and the guard hurriedly stepped back and drew his long sword from his waist!
At that moment, a figure leaped in from outside the city wall!
It was none other than Gao Shun!
Gao Shun held a gun in his right hand, his armor covered in blood, but even so, his expression remained unchanged.
"Prepare to die!"
