On the city wall, as the barbarians reappeared, the bandits were also on high alert, but when they saw the catapults and battering rams, their pupils couldn't help but shrink.
I thought the barbarians had left after so many days of peace, but I didn't expect that they had built siege weapons to attack them.
Sun Gan's heart tightened even more. Although he was a local soldier, he often heard news from the border troops saying that the barbarians could not make siege weapons, but he did not expect that these barbarian soldiers could actually make them.
Although it is simple, it is still threatening.
Pei Yun used a telescope to see the tied-up Liu Xiao, but he didn't know Liu Xiao. Although the two had fought several times, they had never met.
In addition, Liu Xiao was not wearing any armor and his hair was loose, which made Pei Yun think that he was a civilian randomly kidnapped by the barbarians.
"attack!"
Chi Wushu didn't waste any time and directly ordered the barbarians to place the trebuchets within range, load them with boulders, and then fire.
Huge stones were thrown towards the wall, but due to its crude workmanship, the stones were not thrown very high and hit the surface of the wall when they fell.
boom!
The wall trembled slightly and made a loud noise, but the expected collapse of the wall did not occur. Only a white mark as big as a washbasin was left on the blue-gray wall. A few hair-thin cracks spread along the impact point and disappeared within half a foot.
Chi Wushu suddenly widened his eyes and looked at the scene in disbelief. He was also frightened by the power of the huge rock just thrown.
With that kind of force, even if he couldn't dodge, he would be smashed into a pulp, while only white marks appeared on the opponent's wall. The hardness of the wall was beyond his imagination.
"How is that possible!"
Liu Xiao on the side exclaimed, although the catapult he made was simple, it was still powerful. Even if the city wall at the border was hit by this huge stone, a big hole would appear.
The wall of this mountain village had not even had any paint peeling off, which was completely beyond Liu Xiao's understanding.
He had seen the formula of 'three-in-one soil' demonstrated by the Ministry of Works. It was the best formula for building walls in the Jing Dynasty and was extremely hard. But even so, when a catapult was smashed into it, rocks would fly everywhere and shallow pits would appear.
Now, there is only a white mark as big as a washbasin on the wall, which is several times harder than the 'three-in-one soil' that the Ministry of Industry spent countless time developing.
Where do these bandits come from?
Could this be another suggestion from that master?
Who is that master? He can cure the plague and build such a strong wall. Could it be that the glowing things in the hands of those bandits were also made by that master?
Is there such a strange person in this world?
You should be serving the imperial court, why are you helping a group of bandits?
Liu Xiao couldn't figure it out and felt like his brain was short-circuiting.
"Keep going!" Chi Wushu roared, "Smash it! Smash it until it collapses!"
He also got angry and said, "I have a catapult, but I can't break that broken wall. I just can't believe it."
Suddenly the trebuchet was fired again.
Pei Yun said in a deep voice: "Everyone, be careful to dodge and don't get hit."
The bandits nodded. There was only one slingshot, and the boulders thrown out were easy to dodge.
Boom boom boom!
Huge rocks whizzed up and then fell, which looked terrifying, but like the first stone, each impact made the wall tremble, but it could not destroy the solid structure made of reinforced concrete.
"Rush!"
Chi Wushu's face was gloomy. He didn't worry about whether he could break down the city wall. The most important thing was to break through the village gate.
As long as the gate of the village was broken, they could rush in. How could a few hundred bandits possibly stop his army?
Following Chi Wushu's order, the battering ram began to move forward, and the wet mud covering its surface glowed slightly in the setting sun.
Not only was the surface of the battering ram covered with mud-soaked linen, but the soldiers pushing the ram were also covered with it. In addition, Liu Xiao had added a baffle on the top of the ram, so that even if Pei Yun used a Molotov cocktail, it would be difficult to actually burn the huge tree that was hitting the door below.
Boom boom boom!
The Molotov cocktail was thrown down, causing a violent explosion, but it had little effect on the ram. The wet mud quickly sintered to form a hard shell that protected the ram.
Pei Yun frowned slightly. These barbarians were so smart that they thought of how to deal with it after just one look at the Molotov cocktail.
Bang!
The huge tree hit the gate of the village hard, causing it to shake violently. However, the gate was inlaid with steel bars, so even a battering ram could not knock it open for a while.
"Boss, they are not afraid of the Samadhi True Fire anymore."
Seeing that the Molotov cocktail was of little use this time, the bald man started shouting, wondering if the divine fire would also be ineffective.
When Chi Wushu saw the opponent's Molotov cocktail falling, it no longer set the barbarians on fire like last time, and he burst into laughter.
He slapped Liu Xiao's shoulder hard, causing him to grit his teeth in pain, but he felt even more bitter in his heart. Originally, tonight was his best chance to escape, but now he couldn't escape.
"Throw the Molotov cocktails at their feet, not at the assault vehicle."
Pei Yun shouted, and everyone immediately did as he said. Soon, there was a sea of fire under the feet of the barbarians who were hit by the ramming vehicle. They were only covered with mud and linen, but not their feet, and they screamed again.
Some barbarians risked their lives to open the secret compartment at the bottom of the battering ram, took out the cans of kerosene inside and smashed them against the village gate, shouting "For the tribe!"
Bang bang bang!
Can of kerosene was thrown at the gate of the village. This was Liu Xiao's backup plan, countering fire with fire.
There was no need for the barbarians to light a fire; the flames burning on the ground instantly spread towards the village gate.
The kerosene was so strong that a huge flame suddenly jumped out. The kerosene that had not been moved out of the truck was ignited and exploded at this moment.
