The crossbows fired in unison, making a series of dense "whooshing" sounds.
A large number of crossbow arrows rained down on the barbarian army.
The barbarian army that had approached the city gate fell down in large numbers in an instant.
Some of them were running too fast and rolled seven or eight meters away before stopping after being hit by arrows.
A cloud of dust was raised along the way, and blood left long trails on the ground.
The crossbow arrows have such strong penetrating power that each arrow can easily penetrate several people.
Even if the barbarian army raised their shields, they could not completely resist.
The crossbow arrow went straight through the shield and pierced into the body.
For a moment, the barbarian army fell down in large numbers like a colony of ants hit by a flood.
Those soldiers who had not yet died kept letting out shrill screams.
He struggled in agony on the ground, making the scene look like hell.
Wu Wei and the others looked horrified, their brows furrowed.
The arrows were too dense, and it was impossible to break through or get past them.
The catapults and archers on the city walls showed no sign of stopping.
Their stones and arrows seemed endless and continued to cause huge casualties to the barbarian army.
One of the barbarian soldiers couldn't bear to watch this anymore and said to Wu Wei anxiously:
"Sir, they are holding crossbows. We can't get through them. Let's retreat!"
"Crossbow!"
The corners of Wu Wei's mouth twitched violently, and he was extremely shocked.
He was furious: "How come they have crossbows?"
The repeating crossbow is so rare and precious that it is a magical weapon coveted by armies of all countries.
The entire Daliang army did not have a single repeating crossbow. Where did the Tan family army get so many repeating crossbows?
It was so unexpected.
"Sir, let's retreat!" the general spoke again.
"withdraw!"
Uwe's eyes were red. "Are we qualified to retreat?"
"Not to mention the heavy casualties in this siege, if we return now, the army will have very little food and fodder, and we will only starve to death."
When the soldier heard this, he also realized the seriousness of the problem and asked anxiously, "Then what should we do?"
A hint of determination flashed in Wu Wei's eyes, and he said harshly, "You lead your men to continue attacking the city gate."
"Ah!" The guy was immediately confused.
Staring, as if hearing the most ridiculous order in the world,
He said in a daze, "Should I lead people to storm the city gate?"
The arrows at the city gate are so dense and powerful, what's the difference between rushing over and committing suicide?
"Yes, it's you." Uwe said with certainty.
"I'll lead the men to set up the ladders and climb over the wall into the city. You'll be in charge of storming the gates and help me draw fire."
"Yes." The soldier agreed reluctantly, with a bitter face, and turned around with gritted teeth.
He gritted his teeth and said to his soldiers, "Follow me, let's rush into Pengshui City, kill people, set fire to them, and steal water and food..."
"Flatten the Pengshui River, seize food and survive, charge!" The guy took the lead, waving his weapons, and rushed towards the city gate first.
"Flatten the Pengshui River, seize the food and survive..."
Under his instigation, the barbarian soldiers shouted slogans and ran towards the city gate like crazy.
There was greed and madness in his eyes, and he completely ignored the rain of arrows.
But the crossbow formation of the Tan family army was not disordered at all, and they continued to shoot calmly and calmly.
Because everyone knew that they couldn't get through at all.
Driven by desire, the barbarian army continued to charge forward, and the scene was like moths flying into a flame.
On Uwe's side, he led a team of people, waving swords and frantically slashing at the oncoming arrows. They finally arrived at the bottom of the city wall and temporarily escaped danger.
When the barbarian soldiers saw that Uwei and others had rushed to the safety of the city wall, they rushed towards the wall like crazy, and everyone used all his strength.
"Drive the ladder, quickly..." Uwe urged loudly, his voice sounding very anxious.
The soldiers hurriedly set up ladders and leaned them against the city wall.
"Everyone, come on, hurry up! The first one to reach the city will be rewarded..."
Uwe yelled again.
There was a fanaticism in his eyes, as if he had already seen the scene after the city was breached.
The barbarian troops rushed towards the ladders like a group of hungry wolves. They pushed and crowded each other, completely ignoring the Tan family army who were ready for battle on the city wall.
Tan Junyan stood on the city wall, looking at the barbarian army surging like a tide below, his face stern, and shouted loudly:
"Rocks, logs, boiling water, gasoline, fireworks, everything is ready."
The Tan family soldiers acted quickly and worked together to push down the huge rocks and logs.
"Bang, bang..."
The sound of boulders and logs falling to the ground was deafening.
Every time a huge rock fell to the ground, the ground shook violently.
Many ladders were smashed down, and the barbarian soldiers who were climbing the ladders had their brains splattered and blood and flesh flying everywhere.
Red and white things were splattered everywhere, the city walls, ladders, and the ground were all bright red.
Even Uwe was nearly hit. Seeing the log falling, he quickly jumped off his horse to avoid it.
He managed to escape, but Warhorse was in trouble.
The horse was hit immediately, and the blood of the horse splashed all over Uwei.
He fell to the ground, making a mournful sound, and his limbs twitched a few times before he became motionless.
"My horse!"
Wu Wei's eyes were bloodshot and filled with rage. He roared towards the city wall, "Tan Junyan, just wait for me."
"ah……"
A barbarian soldier who was trying to rush up the city wall was scalded by a bucket of boiling water and fell down with a scream.
Boiling water was poured continuously, scalding many barbarian soldiers and causing them to flee in panic.
One soldier covered his scalded face and said, "Using boiling water to burn you, are you going to get hurt?"
"Who did Tan Jiajun learn this from? It's so evil."
"My eyelids are all burned and blistered. Damn it!"
