"Continue the siege!"
At that moment, huge stones were thrown down from the city wall.
There were ropes tied to these stones.
The stone was thrown down.
The immense potential energy slammed into those hanging on the ropes. The soldiers screamed in agony as they plummeted to the ground.
At the same time, the soldiers guarding the city cut the ropes on the grappling hooks.
Clang, clang, clang, the grappling hook fell into the city.
The rebel soldiers who had been climbing the city walls fell to the ground one by one with screams of agony.
Pang Qingyun was furious when he saw that Sun Erhu's attack had failed.
"To think that a small pass like Hulao Pass can block the way of my army is wishful thinking and a pipe dream."
"With our army besieging the city, even if I have to pile up corpses, I will build Hulao Pass for you today."
Soon, the deafening sound of war drums rose into the sky.
A series of bugle calls signaling an impending charge rang out.
"Pass down the order: when the city falls, the person who receives the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households will be rewarded with ten thousand gold pieces."
"Brothers, once we break through Hulao Pass, Chang'an will be right before our eyes."
"So you don't want to storm into the city, seize the city, seize women, and seize territory?"
"The capital city is full of beautiful women and gold and silver jewelry."
"Whoever breaks into Hulao Pass first will be the greatest hero."
With the encouragement of the crowd...
The rebels were incredibly excited.
For them, the temptation to storm into the city and rob money, women, and territory was simply too great.
The rebels charged forward, howling.
From the perspective of these rebels.
The 2,000 defenders at Hulao Pass were utterly ineffective.
As long as we can get onto the city wall.
He was rewarded with ten thousand gold pieces and granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households.
As long as you can storm the capital, you can take whatever you want: the women, the territory, the gold and jewels.
Who could resist such temptation?
Even if the corpses piled up to the top of the city wall of Hulao Pass, Pang Qingyun and his men would still storm in.
Just then, arrows rained down from the city walls.
In an instant, arrows rained down like raindrops.
The soldiers at the front were unable to dodge in time and were hit by arrows, screaming as they fell to the ground.
However, those behind continued to move forward, carrying the ladder.
As soon as someone falls, the people behind will carry their ladders and rush forward quickly.
Within moments, 20,000 to 30,000 people rushed to the gates of Hulao Pass.
The Hulao Pass stands tall and imposing.
Everyone quickly placed the ladders they were carrying on the city wall.
Sun Erhu led his men to climb the cloud ladder.
The group held their swords in their mouths and climbed upwards quickly, using both their hands and feet.
Just then.
A raging fire had already broken out on the city gate tower.
Large pots filled with boiling oil.
The soldiers of the city took large ladles and used them to scoop up boiling oil, then poured it down the ladders.
These boiling oils are at extremely high temperatures.
The oil was splashed onto the ladder and onto everyone's heads.
The crowd immediately let out a series of desperate screams.
Many people simply cannot be caught.
They all fell off the ladder.
Once the ladder gets stained with oil, it becomes even more difficult to climb.
The soldiers attacking the city fell one after another, and each fall could smash a whole group of them.
At that very moment, hot oil was being poured down from the city wall, ladle after ladle.
The crowd screamed and cried out in agony as they were scalded by the hot oil.
Many of the rebels gathered below the city gate were screaming as they were scalded by the hot oil.
At that moment, torches were thrown down from the city walls.
When these torches came into contact with the boiling oil, they burst into flames with a whoosh.
These were rebel soldiers whose bodies were doused with hot oil; they were quickly burned into human torches.
The raging flames scorched the people around them, and the rebels screamed and fled in all directions.
However, the faster they ran, the brighter the flames on their bodies burned.
Qingyun and his group, who were watching from afar, were furious.
"Prepare the planks."
“Cover the wooden plank with soil.”
"With this thing on your head, push the battering ram and smash the city gate open for me."
"I don't believe that these 2,000 people can make any waves."
"As long as these bastards live, I'll fight them to the death."
With a command given.
Tens of thousands of soldiers took action together.
They found wooden planks and nailed them to their heads.
They then poured water on the wooden planks and covered them with snow or mud.
In this way, even if hot oil falls from above, they won't be afraid.
The stones falling from above hit these wooden planks, but they weren't killed instantly.
Soon, a dozen soldiers carrying a wooden plank charged forward.
The wooden plank was quite thick, and it was covered with soil and snow.
It is very heavy.
The soldiers carried the planks and staggered forward.
Arrows rained down from the city walls.
However, most of the arrows were blocked by the wooden planks.
When the crowd carried the wooden planks to the foot of the city wall, hot oil was poured down from the wall again.
The hot oil sizzled as it was poured onto the snow and soil.
When everyone saw that the snow covering the wooden plank was effective, they all burst into laughter.
