Chapter 755 Young General vs. Rich Lady 58
"I killed five of them, hahahaha...it feels so good!"
"You didn't kill him alone, share it among the three of you!"
"Then I've killed more than one. I'll kill a few more later to make it a whole number, hehe..."
"I don't know when I can exchange for rewards. I have enough food at home. I want to exchange for shower gel. It smells so good. My wife will definitely like it!"
Suddenly, a horn sounded in the distance, and the sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer, rumbling as if the whole earth was shaking!
A large black cloud seemed to be floating over the horizon, covering the sky and the sun, pressing down silently. Even standing on the city wall, one could feel the fierce and brutal aura.
The Beirong's vanguard army has arrived! There are at least 90,000 people, or even more!
The black army approached the city wall and attacked the city directly without any pause!
Dozens of siege vehicles were deployed, almost wrapping the northern city wall. Siege ladders were set up on top, connected together, with their bottoms deeply buried in the soil, making them difficult to shake, forming a dense siege network.
The Huo family army would naturally not watch this net being woven. Stones were thrown down non-stop and archers shot down round after round. After a group of people died, more people took their place, like a group of black ants eating away at the dam, and the fight would not stop until one of them died!
There were dense piles of corpses at the base of the wall, almost piled up to half a person's height. People were attacking the city from all over the wall. Even if the attack position was not very high, the Beirong people did not let it go and were determined to tear a hole in it!
"New soldiers, please go down and rest for now! Huo's army! All of you go up to the city wall! The first wave of attack is the most fierce, defend to the death!"
The recruits looked confused. They had just fought off a wave of enemies. How could they come so fast? So fast that they had no time to react. So fast that they had no energy to continue fighting.
The Huo family army has long been accustomed to this kind of battle rhythm. The enemy will not stop attacking just because you are tired. They will seize every weakness of yours and bite you to death!
Now that they are well fed and have the best weapons, they can fight!
The arrow tower was filled with archers, shooting arrows non-stop. Every time they hit a person, the defenders had a greater chance of survival!
The steel city gate rumbled, several siege wheels took turns to hit it, iron arrows were shot out one after another, people kept falling down, and soon someone would fill the vacancy and continue to hit.
War is a huge meat grinder that devours fresh lives and spits out corrupt flesh and blood!
The city walls were so densely packed with people that it was almost impossible to tell friend from foe.
The weapons of both sides collided with each other. The Beirong people relied on their great strength and pressed down harder, trying to cut the throats of the Huo family army.
With a snap, the scimitar broke!
The Huo family soldier who escaped death once again thanked the gods for sending him weapons. They were so strong that he immediately raised his hand and cut the enemy's throat!
Blood splattered all over his body, and before he could catch his breath, a knife stabbed at him. Fortunately, he was wearing a bulletproof vest and blocked the knife.
The bulletproof vest had cracks in many places and hung loosely on his body. He spat out a mouthful of blood, not knowing how long he could hold on.
People kept falling around him, both comrades and enemies. His bulletproof vest was ripped open and flew out, facing the enemy's hacking.
He kept retreating, and finally had nowhere to retreat. Before falling off the city wall, he grabbed the enemy's collar tightly and dragged him down!
At this moment, all strategies and plots are in vain, the only thing left is to hold on!
The siege lasted for a day and a night, and more and more people died. The shifts of defense were already stretched to the limit. Many veterans had stayed on the city wall for a long time and had no time to even eat.
It was a new day, everyone was exhausted, and the Beirong people blew the horn again, launching a new wave of attacks.
"We can't go on like this. They have more people and they can wear us out by fighting in a round-the-clock manner."
"We only have so many people, and there are so many new recruits. New recruits are still not as useful as veterans."
Huo Xiao stood on the city wall, like an unyielding battle flag. "The first push is strong, the second is weak, and the third is exhausted. Their attack is not as fierce as before. We will definitely be able to hold on!"
Zhao Hai brought someone to replace Huo Xiao and advised: "Major General, you should go and have a rest and eat something first."
Zhuo Zhantu came to report, "Major General! We are running out of crossbows and some of our bows are broken. We have a batch of crossbows made of bamboo in the city, but the crossbows are too powerful and the bamboo arrows will crack and cannot be used."
Zhao Hai suggested: "Why don't you go and ask the gods to give you more crossbows? I will stay here and guard it."
The war situation was critical and Huo Xiao didn't want to leave, but he had to leave for the time being.
"If there is anything, send someone to report it immediately. I will go to Beidaying."
The two generals looked at each other and finally persuaded the major general to leave. Even a strong man couldn't endure this. His injuries had not yet fully healed, so he still needed to rest.
The siege is still going on, but it is obvious that the Northern Rong are also showing signs of fatigue and are no longer as brave as they were yesterday. But even so, the Northern Rong have the advantage in numbers, and with wave after wave, they cannot be careless.
"Archers, get ready! Aim carefully, and wait until the enemy reaches the concrete wall before shooting!"
"Stop them in the city! Don't let any fish that escape the net go, kill them all!"
Huo Xiao went to Beidaying, entered his tent, pried open a floor tile, and took out the bronze mirror.
He licked his dry lips and gulped down a large pot of cold water. Only then did he feel his smoking throat feel a little better.
He lifted the black cloth, placed the bronze mirror on the table, and whispered, "God, are you there?"
Ji Yunhuan replied almost immediately, "Yes, yes, yes! How are you? Are you not injured? Never mind, I don't want to listen to your lies. I can tell from your voice that you are very tired. Take off your heavy armor and eat something first."
A packed lunch box fell from the sky.
A rich aroma wafted out and Huo Xiao's stomach growled. He had been so nervous that he didn't feel hungry. But when he relaxed a little, he felt that his internal organs were growing crazy with hunger!
I have been pampered by the gods. I haven't been this hungry even though I didn't eat for a few days.
"We don't have enough bows and crossbows. Can God..."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Ji Yunhuan interrupted Huo Xiao, "Hurry up and eat. I know that weapons are consumables. I will replenish them for you."
"The crossbows have arrived. They are in the warehouse. I am driving to the warehouse now. Two thousand crossbows have also arrived, as well as some swords, hidden weapons and the like. I will send them to you right away."
"Just lie down for a while after you finish eating. I'll call you when I get there."
Huo Xiao had a lot of things in his mind. After eating, he leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes drowsily, but he was not sleeping soundly.
After a while, he heard a slight noise, opened his eyes suddenly, and reflexively grasped the sword in his hand, stood up and took a alert posture.
