Chapter 168 Killing without mercy
Now they were falling in front of him one by one, which was more painful than falling down himself.
"The general instructed us before we came here that if we fail to capture the city, we will die. Do you want to disobey orders?!"
“I dare not!”
"If you don't dare, continue. Now order all warriors to attack the city!"
"yes!"
Although Wu Feng and Qu Fan had the same military rank, he was supervising the army on behalf of the general, so he naturally had the right to give orders to Qu Fan.
Qu Fan reluctantly ordered: "I'll do it all!
No matter what method we use, we must capture Yuanzhou City tonight!"
"yes!"
The eighty thousand soldiers were so powerful and their voices were like thunder, waking up the birds in the forest. They flew out of the forest and fled in panic from this terrible slaughterhouse on earth.
Simon's soldiers watched with their own eyes as groups of people fell, and brothers who had been through thick and thin with them died in front of them. They were demoralized and timid at the beginning, but now their blood was completely aroused. If they couldn't take the city wall tonight, they would have no chance to return to their hometown!
Since there is no way to retreat, we can only give it a try. There are so many of them, even if we use corpses as stepping stones, we can pile them up on the city wall!
The sound of drums and shouts was deafening, and 80,000 soldiers rushed forward in a mighty force.
Looking down from the city wall, there are people as densely packed as ants and long snakes not far away. People with trypophobia will definitely get goosebumps.
Since the official road in front of the city gate can only accommodate five carriages driving side by side, it can only accommodate 500 people standing side by side.
The 80,000 Simon soldiers could not rush forward all at once, but could only march forward in rows. The 80,000 troops lined up in a long team, which was very intimidating just to look at.
Simon's soldiers all had torches, so people on the city wall could see everything clearly without telescopes.
"What should I do? They're all attacking!"
It’s no wonder that Li Dazhuang lacked composure and panicked.
He had encountered sieges by Laos and Simon before, and each time he was able to respond calmly, defeat the enemy with fewer troops, and drive away the enemy.
But at that time the enemy's strength did not exceed 30,000!
And this time the military force is several times greater than before!
"Why are you panicking? Just watch!"
Bai Li rolled his eyes at him unhappily. He was a veteran, but he was not even as good as those rookies!
She looked at the crowd below like ants. Since they were all seeking death, she would be kind enough to send them to the west!
"Eight Ox Crossbows, fire!"
Several rows of people in front fell down, but those behind did not retreat in fear at all, and even stepped on their companions' bodies to rush forward.
Because they remembered that after this wave of huge arrows, they would have a gap to restring the arrows, and this gap was enough for them to rush to the base of the city wall.
As long as they get there, they can shoot the bows and arrows in their hands to cover their companions in building trenches and bridges, and erecting ladders. Once they reach the city wall, they will have a chance of winning.
Qu Fan was protected in the middle. He watched the team being torn to pieces by the huge arrows and the countless casualties among his men, and chose to turn a blind eye.
Now he is in a dilemma and can only fight to the death. If he cannot win, he can only die!
"Quick! Archers, cover!"
"Build a trench bridge! Climb the wall ladder!"
Thousands of men braved the arrows shot down from above and carried out military orders regardless of their lives.
Some of the Simon soldiers were shot by crossbow arrows and were not dead yet, but were trampled under the feet of their companions and used as stepping stones!
Qu Fan turned his head away with reluctance, raised his sword and danced it into a whirlwind to block the crossbow arrows for the soldiers.
However, their bows and arrows had a short range and were fired from bottom to top, so the arrows hit the city walls with a clanging sound and fell down one after another.
Seeing that shooting arrows was useless, Qu Fan quickly waved his hand to stop shooting.
"They're using their companions as stepping stones!"
Li Dazhuang came to his senses and fiddled around Bai Li like an old hen.
He brought 8,000 defenders to the city wall, plus the more than 700 people before Bai Li. If the 20 crossbows in the hands of more than 8,000 people fired at the same time, each wave would have more than 100,000 crossbow arrows shot out.
Based on the average probability of hitting one person with every two or three crossbow arrows, each wave of crossbow arrows could hit tens of thousands of people. Bai Li was not afraid of his 80,000 troops at all.
Of course, they couldn't possibly attack with all 80,000 men, unless...
"Marshal Bai, they are stacking up!"
Li Dazhuang started squeaking again. Bai Li really wanted to curse. What he worried about came true.
However, this is more suitable for her next wave of operations.
"Pass the order down, prepare the peanuts!"
The messenger passed the order down, and although Li Dazhuang was glared at several times by Bai Li, he really couldn't hold back.
"No, what are peanuts?"
Bai Li didn't have time to pay attention to him. These peanuts were only available to the more than 700 people on night watch, so there was no need to explain too much to Li Dazhuang.
"Throw in one group!"
“Boom boom boom!…”
Under the city wall, flowers suddenly bloomed in the crowd, and Simon's soldiers met the King of Hell with a smile of impending victory.
The huge air wave blew the broken arms and legs into the air. Li Dazhuang, who curiously stuck his head out, was covered in the face by a large mass of red, white, black and extremely smelly stuff.
"vomit!"
Bai Li moved a little distance away from him, afraid of getting contaminated by his dirt. He was really too dirty!
You say two armies are facing each other, who would stretch their neck to look outside?
Isn't that seeking death?
He was lucky that he didn't seek death but found shit!
"Team two, throw!"
Bai Li saw the Simon army rushing up again and gave another order.
This time, Qu Fan saw countless tiny, bean-like objects falling from above his head. He shouted in horror, "Get out of the way! There's a hidden weapon!"
Unfortunately, it was useless for Simon's soldiers to hide, as the coverage of the peanuts covered the place where they retreated.
In the series of bombings, no matter how they hid, they could not escape the fate of being blown away.
"General Wu, the enemy's hidden weapons are too powerful. We have less than 10,000 soldiers left. Let's retreat!"
Wu Feng had already hidden behind the three fortifications, and Qu Fan had to look around in a daze before he found him.
At this time, Simon's army had suffered countless casualties, and those who were still alive were like headless flies, without direction and no fighting ability at all.
Wu Feng glanced at the battlefield that looked like hell on earth, and thought of the bold words he had promised to King Jin when he led the troops, and fell silent.
"General Wu, our soldiers have lost their fighting capacity. Attacking the city again will only lead to annihilation. It's completely useless!"
At this moment, someone in Simon's army suddenly shouted, "This is thunder from heaven! We are being punished by heaven!"
"God, please forgive us! We will never come to Da Zhou again!"
Someone took the lead, and the frightened soldiers suddenly realized that they had come to attack the Great Zhou and killed so many innocent people, which violated the heavenly rules and brought punishment from heavenly thunder.
So, the remaining Simon soldiers, regardless of the corpses, brains and blood on the ground, knelt down and begged God for mercy.
Wu Feng, who was about to give in and retreat, was so angry that his veins bulged and he pointed at the soldiers with trembling fingers.
"Look, these spineless people are already frightened. What's the point of keeping them around?
Attack the city! Keep attacking! Anyone who retreats will be killed without mercy! "
