The state of Ye was once ridiculed by artisans for having no skilled craftsmen.
How could the Ye Kingdom, with its limited military equipment, have breached the gates of their Fenggusha City in such a short time?!
This is outright fraud!
The various siege weapons they use today, such as siege ladders, siege towers, and the weapons equipped by their army, are all the latest and most destructive, something even they have never seen before. This is certainly not something that their Ye Kingdom craftsmen could produce.
They couldn't understand it, they racked their brains but still couldn't figure it out, what exactly was going on.
Only Mo Ye and Yang Gu knew the reason behind it.
That's right, the craftsmen of Ye Kingdom didn't have that level of skill, but this Yuwen Sheng was a bandit. He simply stole the equipment that Nan Chen and Xi Ze Kingdom had ordered from the Mo family at a priceless cost, and then used it to attack their Julu Kingdom.
Isn't that infuriating?
The ship was loaded with new machinery and weapons that could cut through metal, all of which were carefully developed by the Mohists to deal with the Ye Kingdom. But now, the Ye Kingdom and Yuwen Sheng are unharmed, while it is their Julu Kingdom that suffers the most damage.
Tell me, isn't this infuriating? Isn't this infuriating?
Anyway, Yang Gu was furious, and he even cursed inwardly with malice.
No one knows which damned craftsman unlocked the Nine-Dragon Mechanism Box for Yuwen Sheng, enabling him to seize the massively destructive siege vessel carrying the Southern Chen and Western Ze Kingdoms.
If he finds out, even without the Mo family as a match, Yang Gu will be the first to hunt him down to the ends of the earth and will never let him go!
At the same time, he also took his anger out on the Southern Chen Kingdom and the Western Ze Kingdom. They had no idea how powerful the weapons they had created in cooperation with the Mohists were, right?
If they don't even know how to properly safeguard their own belongings, and now that they've lost them, don't they realize how serious the consequences could be?
"General, the city gate is about to collapse!"
A soldier's face was covered in sweat and black smoke, making his features unrecognizable. Only his hoarse breathing revealed his panic and despair.
"Where is Mo Ye? Wasn't he supposed to lead his troops around to the rear to relieve the pressure on our city gates? Where is he?"
"I don't know."
Yang Gu desperately tried to defend the city gate from the top of the city wall, but the continuous impacts below made his heart clench and his face turn as red as a pig's liver.
He peered down and saw eight wheels and a five-story siege tower crashing into the city gate. The destructive force was like an avalanche, which also damaged the city wall. The city gate was almost full of soldiers who were trying to hold it up, but they were getting more and more exhausted.
"Quickly, pour the oil down! At the same time, tell the archers to prepare to set it on fire. No, do not tell them to climb up!"
Arrows rained down, and the battering rams below used their height to fire crossbows directly into the city, fighting the Julu soldiers on the parapets. At the same time, they slowly approached the city wall, damaging its structure, all in order to directly attack the defenders on the wall.
"No, the oil won't reach the battering rams. They've all avoided it and even used oilcloth to shield the rams from the fire. If we continue setting the fire, it will burn them instead!"
"Damn Yuwen Sheng, he revealed all his cards at once, just to deal with our small city. Is he out of his mind?!" Yang Gu cursed.
After his subordinates narrowly dodged an arrow, they saw that the chariot below was equipped with various long weapons, as well as heavy weapons such as crossbows and stone cannons. They were terrified: "General, we can't hold on anymore, we really can't hold on anymore, let's run away quickly."
Upon hearing this, Yang Gu flew into a rage and slapped him to the ground.
"You bastard, if I run away, what will happen to the people of this city?!"
"General, if we don't escape, we'll just die here in vain. Fenggu Sand City will fall sooner or later, and we can't hold it at all... Otherwise, let's go find Yuwen Sheng's wife. As long as we bring her here, Yuwen Sheng will definitely stop attacking the city!"
Yang Gu's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. He was breathing heavily and gritted his teeth, saying, "Is it that I don't want to? It's that we simply can't find her! Who knows where that woman is right now! Doesn't she know to come and control her man who's like a mad dog, biting everyone he sees!"
"General, the Sima has led his troops to attack from the rear!"
His subordinate exclaimed in surprise, but soon the joy on his face disappeared little by little, his pupils dilated, and his face turned pale.
The three armies of Julu fought against the Ye army outside the city, but they were no match for their ferocity and brutality.
In the past, the Julu Kingdom relied on its superior equipment, strong swords, and various supporting weapons to defeat the Ye Kingdom more often than it lost. However, they were shocked to discover that under the same conditions, the Julu army was far inferior to the Ye army.
The commander of the left wing of the Julu army, Ren, led his elite troops into the Ye army's formation, while Mo Ye pressed forward with the main force. At the same time, the central army quietly maneuvered to the flank and rear of the Ye army and launched a surprise attack.
But all the conspiracies and tricks that could launch a surprise attack were far less reliable than the strength of an army. Apart from the initial chaos, the troops led by Wei Yao and Wang Zebang immediately launched a counterattack. The two of them rarely appeared on the same battlefield, but once they joined forces, their power was extraordinary.
The Julu army suffered a crushing defeat, with blood flowing like a river at the city gate, and the pungent stench of blood hung in the air.
Defeated troops and retreat from the city—this was the inevitable outcome of this battle.
Faced with such a crushing defeat, Mo Ye felt the blood and rust filling his mouth. He was dragged and covered by the remaining soldiers as he fled, but he was unwilling to give up and refused to leave. Finally, he was knocked unconscious by Wan Hu's palm strike and then retreated from the battlefield.
When Yuwen Sheng breached the city, the war was still exceptionally fierce.
