The countless flames that ignited in the darkness made everyone on the city wall feel uneasy.
Soon, they realized where their unease came from.
As these flames appeared, the once peaceful night was suddenly filled with a terrifying roar!
"Boom boom boom!"
The rumbling sound pounded the eardrums of the soldiers on the city wall, and the sudden noise seemed to cause the city wall to tremble as well.
Qin Mingyi had never seen such a scene before, and the moment the sound rang out, he collapsed to the ground.
Having just celebrated his 60th birthday, he, who had always been immersed in a life of romance, had never experienced such a sudden upheaval.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that lightning suddenly struck down from the heavens.
Qin Mingyi slumped against the city wall, his face ashen with terror, cold sweat pouring down his back, and incoherent shouts escaping his lips.
"What's that noise! What's that noise!"
"What's this!?"
The seasoned veteran Dongshan was clearly in much better shape than him; he tried to remain calm and stood up straight.
But then a thought suddenly popped into his mind that he couldn't believe.
This voice seems somewhat familiar.
This seems to be related to the warships of Ito Sumiyoshi on the mainland...
He wasn't sure; he had never seen such a weapon in Da Gan during the entire period since Da Gan began.
They shouldn't have it! And they can't possibly have it!
But the night sky gave him the answer.
As the roar began, the deep night sky was already filled with a sense of utter despair.
The sound was like the heavens shaking, fireworks ignited, and soon the light of flowers illuminated the sky.
It was as if countless stars had fallen to earth, or as if rain were falling gently. Of course, if it was rain, it would be cool and refreshing, bringing life to the world.
But these things that fall from the night sky are rough and hard; their very existence is meant to extinguish life.
"Bang bang bang".
Like a sudden storm, lead stones the size of pebbles shot out.
They bombarded everything in their path.
The wooden plaques on the city gate tower were shattered by the bombardment, the tiles crumbled, the earthen walls were riddled with holes, and the battlements were damaged beyond recognition.
On the city walls, where a large number of troops had been deployed, the soldiers, who had never expected to be attacked like this, were hit by lead stones.
If it hits the head, the head shatters; if it hits the torso, the torso is mangled.
The soldiers who were still drawing their bows and arrows were bombarded, suffering broken bones and injuries, and even their bows and arrows were destroyed.
The ballistae that had been set up were smashed to pieces, and the crossbowmen were powerless to retaliate.
The heavily fortified city gate is now being destroyed bit by bit, like a clay sculpture.
The chaotic screams and roars were rendered insignificant by the bombardment; they were completely drowned out.
Qin Yiming, already terrified and disoriented, huddled against the city wall, clutching his head and curling up in a ball, uttering hoarse, incoherent screams.
With a "bang".
A heavy object crashed down on him.
Qin Yiming shuddered, a surge of heat welling up from his lower abdomen. He screamed in terror:
"Aaaaaaaahhhhh!"
Its sound was tragic, like the wailing of a dying person.
"Aaaaaah!"
It wasn't until his voice was hoarse from shouting that Qin Yiming belatedly realized he wasn't dead.
He then released his grip, and opened his eyes on his pale face.
But that one glance terrified him so much he almost flew to heaven.
A terrifying human face was lying on his body.
It's hardly a face anymore; there are two dents on it, one on the forehead and one on the left cheek.
Blood and some white liquid were flowing from the pit on his forehead. In the pit on his left cheek, Qin Mingyi could see a stone the size of a goose egg embedded in it, as well as some broken teeth.
The strong smell of blood filled his nostrils.
The horrific manner of his death, the unimaginable onslaught of fear, tormented Qin Mingyi, causing his stomach to churn violently.
With a "whoosh".
He vomited violently.
Bang bang bang!
Meanwhile, lead stones continued to be shot at him, and Qin Mingyi watched all of this with trepidation.
Before his eyes, almost everyone, regardless of who they were, was having their bodies mutilated.
Compared to shooting with bows and arrows, these "objects from outer space" were more intimidating and more bloody.
Minced flesh and thick blood scattered everywhere, and the fleshy body, like a clay sculpture, was collapsing and disintegrating.
He watched as soldiers were shot and mutilated, becoming corpses lying on the ground. In just a short time, the narrow corridor was filled with bodies.
Such a scene could not be described as nothing short of purgatory.
Amidst violent vomiting, Qin Yiming frantically crawled on the ground, filled with regret for having gone up to the city wall.
He regretted listening to Ono Jiro's words even more; the army of the Prince of Zhenbei was so terrifying!
Are these even human? This attack is practically a natural disaster!
No! Even natural disasters have omens, but their attack on the city was so sudden and swift. What defense could stop such a fierce offensive?
With a "bang".
A lead stone struck Qin Mingyi right in front of him, hitting the city wall he was leaning against, only a foot away from him.
Qin Yiming trembled, his eyes filled with fear.
The next moment, he wailed:
"Help!!!"
But at this moment, who could possibly be distracted and respond to him?
More and more lead stones were being fired into the city wall. Under these circumstances, moving any further seemed like suicide.
