Chapter 519: Huge Ladder
From a distance, one could see several huge monsters among the densely packed army. When they got closer, they were illuminated by the flames on the arrows.
Ladder!
That is a powerful weapon for siege!
These huge ladders were probably specially made by them, because the north wall of Peking City is the Great Wall, which is built extremely solidly and very high, and it is difficult to reach it with ordinary ladders.
And these ladders are all very high.
As the soldiers watched the giant ladder being pushed back to the foot of the city wall, the people below pulled the reins hard, and they heard the sound of gears slowly turning.
A heavy ladder was hoisted up and hit the city wall heavily.
Although the ladder was made of wood, it was very sturdy. Each piece of wood was half the thickness of a person and was wrapped with iron sheets.
Maybe they were afraid that they would use fire!
The wooden ladder hit the city wall and actually shattered a parapet. The broken stones flew everywhere and hit the surrounding soldiers. Many of them fell down with blood coming out of their heads.
Everyone immediately stepped back: "Be careful!"
Such a behemoth, even if it is not a weapon, gives people a very shocking feeling when it appears.
Everyone was so frightened that they dared not move for a moment.
At this time, a soldier from the Neng State climbed up the wooden ladder and was about to rush onto the city wall.
At this moment, a flash of cold light appeared, and the soldier was cut into two pieces, with blood spurting out.
"ah--!"
With a scream, he fell down.
Everyone was stunned and looked closely, and it turned out to be Zhu Feng.
He held the long sword in his hand and said in a deep voice, "Defend the city! Don't retreat a single step!"
In the wind, his low roar was like the roar of a wild beast. Although the surroundings were filled with deafening sounds of killing, it seemed as if everyone had heard the order. They immediately gripped their swords tightly and rushed forward, waving them.
Soldiers from the Neng Kingdom kept climbing up from the ladders, and the people on the city walls were naturally not willing to be outdone. Swords, spears, swords and halberds rose up one after another. Screams were constantly heard, and some people fell down.
Blood flowed down the city wall.
Gradually, more and more people from the Dian State climbed up through the ladders and hacked and killed people on the city wall. Although their number was small, their rush up helped the people below. Suddenly, those Dian soldiers swarmed over.
"Hurry up, hurry up!"
“Kill them!”
Such howling sounds particularly terrifying in the night, amidst the constant screams.
Zhu Feng stood on the city wall and killed two charging Dan soldiers in succession. Then he turned to Ye Zheng, who was also fighting to defend the city on the other side and said, "Let them prepare, step two!"
Ye Zheng turned around and said, "Yes!"
At this time, the flag bearers on the corner towers on both sides received the order and immediately waved their flags. After a few flag signals, a heavy sound of footsteps came from behind.
The soldiers carried the rolling logs and stones that were stored under the watchtower.
These things are all powerful weapons for siege. Seeing another ladder, which was already full of soldiers from the Dian State, being pushed directly in front of the city wall, dozens of soldiers below were pulling the ropes desperately to put the wooden ladder directly onto the city wall!
Just as the wooden ladder was put up, there was a roar: "Get out of the way!"
Suddenly, the soldiers of Yan State who were fighting fiercely hurriedly retreated to the side, and five or six soldiers picked up a heavy rolling log and threw it directly over.
There was a loud bang, and the rolling log hit the wooden ladder and rolled down along the ladder.
Suddenly, all the soldiers above were swept down.
Soldiers in several other places did the same thing, throwing rolling logs onto the ladders and continuously throwing huge rocks down. Suddenly, bursts of screams rang out one after another.
