"Charge! Charge!"
Warhorses neighed, arrows flew across the battlefield, and their roars echoed outside the city gates.
Liang Gongzhi led his men, dodging arrows shot from the city tower as they rushed toward the city gate.
Previously, the dense archery attacks would have caused heavy casualties before they even reached the city gate, but in the past half month, the city's arrow reserves have been gradually depleted.
Nowadays, the density of arrows fired is much lower than before!
Therefore, at this moment, Liang Gongzhi and his men were almost at the city gate, less than thirty meters away! The city gate was right in front of them!
He shouted at the top of his lungs, "Hurry! Hurry!"
"Get the ladder up here!"
"The men behind, get on board! Bring the battering ram!"
Behind them, infantrymen dragged various siege weapons forward, sweating profusely.
Countless chariots were also moving forward, and the soldiers hiding behind them were still aiming their bows and arrows at the city walls!
Although the hit rate was very low, it undoubtedly caused some casualties to the defenders on the city wall.
In fact, during the previous offensive, the archers of Linbin City had already lost a lot of men by attacking the city gates time and time again.
Therefore, in addition to the significant reduction in the number of bows and arrows, there are also fewer and fewer archers at this moment.
Inside the city gate, a large number of guards stood ready, their faces solemn, their eyes fixed on the city gate, and their ears listening to the sounds coming from outside the city.
Everyone understood that once the city gates were breached, they would use their bodies to block them!
And this means certain death!
But at this point, no one will back down.
Behind them lay the lights of countless homes; to retreat even a step meant that countless civilians would die at the hands of the enemy.
Outside the inner city, the people did not flee.
Although Song Ke had ordered them to leave Linbin City temporarily, the people had already made up their minds to stand with Song Ke and defend Linbin City to the death!
They were carrying kitchen knives, hoes, sickles, hammers, and other weapons. Although most of them were pale and even their legs were trembling, they stood firmly on the ground and refused to turn around or retreat even half a step!
But hearing the shouts of battle coming from afar, a strong sense of fear spread through the crowd.
Some of the younger people already had red eyes and their hands were trembling.
Just then, a roar rang out from the crowd:
"If we can't defend Linbin City, we can't defend Daqian either!"
"We would rather die on our own soil than let the Japanese trample on our dignity!"
"The city stands! The people live!"
These emotionally charged words immediately resonated with the crowd.
"The city stands! The people live!"
Just then, the thunderous sound of iron hooves grew louder and louder, and everyone understood that the enemy was approaching the city walls!
Outside the city walls, as time went by, various siege weapons gradually arrived at the city gate.
"Get the ladder up here!"
"Climb up! Go! Go!"
Liang Gongzhi's face was contorted with rage as he roared loudly.
The soldiers placed ladders on the city wall and then climbed up, by which time no more arrows were being fired from the city tower.
At this point, the bow and arrows were truly exhausted.
But the lack of arrows doesn't mean we can't stop these enemies climbing up!
Song Ke looked anxious and shouted, "We absolutely cannot let them up! Stop them!"
"You bunch of lackeys! Die!"
The defenders, their eyes blazing with fury, roared as they hurled the stones piled up inside the city walls down!
In order to deal with foreign enemies, Song Ke has made the best use of all resources.
"Bang bang bang!"
Countless stones fell from the city wall, and the soldiers who were climbing were the first to be hit. What came into view was this huge pile of stones!
Although they were wearing helmets, these stones were so heavy that if someone were hit, their neck would break and their body would be twisted.
Subsequently, a large group of soldiers who were climbing were knocked to the ground by stones.
Fortunately, they weren't climbing too high, which saved them from falling to their deaths.
Even so, after falling to the ground, he was unable to get up for a while, and the stones on the city wall continued to fall!
"ah!"
Falling rocks struck them, and the soldiers, terrified, suffered broken bones and fractured skulls, their blood and brain matter spilling onto the ground.
"Keep going! Keep setting up the ladders! Charge up there!"
Liang Gongzhi became extremely ferocious and roared angrily.
Meanwhile, Chen Hongbo was greatly shocked to see how fierce the siege was and how eager Liang Gongzhi was to show off.
He thought to himself: This kid is really ruthless!
Just then, a furious roar came from behind:
"Hurry! Charge forward! What are you all doing, dawdling like this!"
"Don't you want to storm the city? I've seen everything you've done!!!"
"Whoever achieves the greatest merit will be richly rewarded!!"
It was Ono Jiro, riding his horse and roaring loudly.
"Damn it!" Chen Hongbo cursed inwardly, then roared, "Go! Go!"
"Let's storm the city in one fell swoop!!"
Amidst the roars, more and more people ran to the foot of the city wall, and the battering sledgehammer had already been taken forward by the troops led by Ding Momin!
Two hours have passed since the fighting began.
More and more ladders were being erected on the city walls, which were now densely covered with countless soldiers.
On the city wall, Song Ke was anxious as more and more enemy soldiers climbed up and got closer and closer to scaling the battlements. Although he kept throwing stones, he couldn't stop them in time.
