Mu Lan looked calm. In fact, he had expected this long ago. If the imperial court really wanted to come to rescue, they would have come long ago and would not have delayed for so long.
"Defend it to the death. As long as the city is not taken, we still have hope."
"Report!"
As soon as he finished speaking, soldiers ran in.
"General, the Yong Man have launched an attack."
Mu Xiong stood up suddenly and walked outside. Zhang Huan and Mu Lan followed hurriedly behind him.
Soon, everyone climbed up the city wall and saw the army outside under the banner of the barbarians pressing forward. Dozens of catapults and battering rams launched an attack under the cover of the barbarian army.
The defenders on the city wall originally did not have much strength, but when they saw the Yongman attacking, they quickly took their positions.
A rapid whistling sound was heard, and dozens of catapults were seen throwing huge rocks towards the city wall.
"hidden!"
Mu Xiong roared, and everyone hurried to avoid the falling rocks.
boom!
A stone as big as a millstone hit the corner of the city wall heavily, bricks and stones broke, debris flew everywhere, and two defenders who were unable to dodge were smashed into meat paste on the spot.
Immediately afterwards, the second and third pieces fell one after another, and the repaired city wall continued to shake, as if it would collapse at any time.
The barbarians' battering rams approached the city gate under the cover of catapults.
"put!"
Zhang Huan shouted, and the catapults on the city wall began to fire towards the battering ram.
"I'll guard the gate."
Mu Lan ran towards the city gate.
A large number of barbarians rushed towards the city wall carrying ladders.
"Archers ready!"
Zhang Huan raised the flag, and when he was within shooting range, he swung it downwards suddenly, and the arrows were shot out. However, the soldiers defending the city only had one bowl of porridge a day, so they did not have much strength left, and the arrows they shot seemed weak.
Soon ladders were built, and the barbarian ants came up, rolling stones, battering rams were thrown down, and kerosene was poured down.
An hour later, the barbarians called off their troops.
"They are testing how much fighting power we have left."
Mu Xiong spoke in a cold voice. In previous sieges, they would never retreat in one hour. This time, the barbarian attack was more like a test.
I'm afraid the next time there will be a more fierce attack, and perhaps that will be the time when the city will be breached.
