With a "poof" sound.
The blood-stained lance pierced the throat of a garrison soldier. Without a second's delay, the spearhead was pulled from his throat, and the gushing blood splattered three feet away.
Like vibrant colors, they were scattered on the city walls and splashed on the ground.
Blood droplets mixed with dust, merging together to form a pool of blood.
The rough, earthen-yellow bricks and stones are now barely recognizable as they were, and have turned a deep red.
The wind was still blowing, blowing fiercely, but it couldn't carry away the smell of blood; instead, it made the city wall even more reek of blood.
Despite it being winter, Gao Shun was drenched in sweat, with beads of sweat on his brow almost sliding into his eyes, but he had no time to wipe them away.
Bend over, pull in your stomach, and stare straight ahead.
With a flick of his wrist, the Wind-Breaking Spear thrust forward once again with unstoppable momentum!
"Bang!"
The spearhead pierced a soldier's chest; despite the armor, it was as if nothing was there before the sharp, pointed muzzle!
The stab went straight into the soldier's chest!
Gao Shun did not put away his gun; instead, he shouted loudly!
He sprinted forward, pushing the soldier headfirst into the crowd!
The long, piercing spear emerged from the soldier's body and pierced into the body of the person behind him!
Screams and wails rang out from the crowd!
Gao Shun then abruptly pulled back his spear, his whole body trembling as he shook off the hot sweat from his brow.
The soldiers of the Trapped Camp, standing to the side, brandished their halberds and roared as they charged toward the remaining defenders!
The constant clanging of metal against metal and the resounding roars made this battlefield of carnage even more intense.
Meanwhile, below the city wall, even more soldiers from the Trapped Camp were climbing up the wall.
Before they knew it, more and more people were gathering on the city wall.
Not only that, those siege ladders and battering rams have also successfully crossed the moat!
But at this moment, the fierce battle taking place on the city wall had left the defenders with no time to spare for retaliation.
A moment later, the Beiwei Army arrived at the city gate with their equipment. One siege ladder after another was erected on the city wall, making it much easier for the soldiers below to climb up.
After all, climbing up against the treacherous arrows is ultimately a skill-intensive task.
Ladders were erected on the city walls, while the soldiers at the city gate also had important things to do!
Beside the massive battering ram, soldiers pulled ropes, dragging the thick battering ram backward. Everyone exerted all their strength, their faces turning red from strain.
"Push harder!"
With a series of angry roars, the battering ram was pulled backward, and in front of the battering ram was the incredibly heavy outer city gate.
At this moment, countless guards had gathered inside the city gate.
Some of them kept running up to the city wall to provide support, while others were guarding behind the city gate, all of them watching the gate with extreme tension.
At such close range, they could clearly hear the constant roars coming from outside the city gate. These terrifying roars made them even more nervous, and they gripped their weapons tightly.
Behind the heavy city gate, several giant wooden beams were now supporting it. These beams were deeply embedded in the ground, with the other end supporting the city gate, making them extremely sturdy!
Just then, a deafening shout came from outside the city gate: "Release!"
At that sound, the hearts of all the defenders jumped into their throats.
A loud "Bang!" rang out!
The city gate visibly trembled, causing the massive wooden supports to shake and even raising dust from the ground!
Everyone understood that the battering ram had struck the city gate!
"Don't stand still! Quick! Hold the city gate!" a garrison commander shouted.
As soon as he finished speaking, several soldiers stepped forward, grabbed the giant log, and used it to hold the city gate in place.
Just moments later—
"Bang!"
Another loud bang rang out, and the city gate shook again. This time, a gap even appeared in the middle!
The gap wasn't large, but through it, the defenders could already see the faces outside the city gate!
"Don't let them in! Hold them off!"
The garrison commander shouted again.
Meanwhile, on the city wall, people were falling one after another!
When the garrison commander saw the corpses, he shuddered and visibly panicked.
"Oh no! Is the higher-ups also unable to hold out?"
The words had barely left his mouth.
"Rustle, rustle, rustle"
Several short crossbow bolts shot out from the city wall, and these bolts were not aimed at any other place, but at the inner city gate, and they were aimed at them!
The commander was shocked and dodged the arrows while looking up.
On the city wall, several Beiwei soldiers were loading crossbows. They stood on the battlements and fired the crossbow bolts one after another!
Above the city wall, after the Trapped Camp charged up, the Beiwei Army also climbed up the siege ladders shortly afterward!
The soldiers on the city wall were no match for them and were routed!
Just then—
With a loud "Bang!", another loud noise came from the city gate.
This time, the breach in the city gate was even larger, and the giant logs that were holding the gate up had even flipped over, sending wood chips flying everywhere and dust billowing up on the ground.
Everyone panicked. In the chaos, a person was seen quickly descending the stairs from the city wall.
"We can't hold out! Let's run!"
The person coming downstairs was none other than Li Hai, who had long since lost his soul!
Seeing more and more soldiers climbing up the city wall, Li Hai could no longer control himself and hurriedly went downstairs.
