The North Gate Pass is only a few dozen miles away from the military camp at the Later Jin border, but the difference is that the North Gate Pass exists as an important defensive pass.
However, the garrison commander and the three thousand Jin soldiers were border guards who constantly patrolled the surrounding area, and their range of activity was much larger.
However, over the past few months, because everyone lived relatively close to each other, many people have become acquainted with each other.
General Naierbusi of Beimen Pass hesitated for a moment upon seeing the naked Jin soldiers, but soon he stood atop the pass, pointed at the men on the ground, and began to shout and curse:
"You bastards, didn't you die on the front lines? How come you're running around in the streets like this, barely clothed? What kind of behavior is this?"
"You have no shame, your families have no shame, but does my Great Jin Kingdom have no shame? You are truly despicable scoundrels!"
Unexpectedly, this rebuke angered the Jin soldiers below the pass:
"General, it's really not that we're disgracing the Great Jin Kingdom, it's just that that thing is far too powerful, we can't handle it!"
"fart!"
What happened to you?
"We haven't seen you sound the horns, nor have we seen you light the smoke signals. There are clearly no enemy troops invading. What nonsense are you spouting here?"
At this moment, among the three thousand naked Jin soldiers below the city, one man stepped forward, covering his groin with his hand, and shouted towards the city tower:
"General Nai'erbusi, do you still recognize me?"
"My Desang!"
Upon looking at the pass, Nai'erbusi saw that it was indeed the deputy general Desang.
"Desang, what exactly happened?"
"General, have you seen my garrison commander? We have encountered something we have never seen before. Even the garrison commander used the Thousand Machine Crossbow, but it was no use against it. He had no choice but to tell us to hold our ground, saying that the imperial court has dispatched a magical weapon called a cannon, which is extremely powerful and can blast half a mountain into the ground. It will definitely be able to deal with that thing."
"The garrison commander immediately led his men, saying they were coming to the North Gate to ask you to transport cannons, leaving us to guard the fortress ahead. But that behemoth was far too ferocious. Not only did we fail to defend the fortress, but it also chased us here."
At this moment, Nai'erbusi, who was standing at the pass, was completely dumbfounded.
How come the two of them have completely different stories?
The defending general fled back, saying that his entire army had been wiped out, and that he had only managed to escape by bravely fighting the enemy. However, his lieutenants had not been wiped out; instead, they also ran back to ask for help.
"I only heard about this cannon from someone in the court. It was said to be incredibly powerful, but it was still under construction and there was no sign of it being completed yet. How did it become that my North Gate Pass is already equipped with it?"
Without thinking, he suddenly realized.
It's likely that the garrison commander abandoned his men, wounded himself, and fled for his life, only to find that his men, who hadn't died in battle, had instead followed him back.
"Hmph, what kind of trick are they playing? What kind of behemoth could possibly make these three thousand elite soldiers flee at the mere sight of it? Is it that powerful?"
As it turns out, it really is impressive.
And it's incredibly powerful!
Shortly after the deputy general finished speaking, everyone heard strange noises coming from the distant horizon.
With each step, the ground beneath my feet seemed to vibrate with the sound of "bang bang bang".
As Nai'er was pondering this, he saw King Kong with a huge head emerging from the opposite side from his vantage point. He was immediately stunned and instinctively rubbed his eyes.
It's absolutely unbelievable!
The colossal object was getting closer and closer, and at the same time, the terrifying footsteps were becoming increasingly deafening.
"My goodness, just how big is this thing?"
Nairbusi was completely stunned. When the entire 50-meter-tall body of King Kong appeared before him, Nairbusi immediately ordered the gate to be opened, letting three thousand King Kong soldiers into the North Gate Pass.
"You all hurry up and change into your new military uniforms, grab your weapons, and fight the enemy with us!"
Even so, Nai'erbusi was still terrified; his heart was trembling!
With five thousand soldiers under his command, plus such a fortified pass, not even a bird could fly out, let alone a person.
If 40,000 to 50,000 troops were to besiege the North Gate Pass, we could hold out for several months thanks to our geographical advantage, and we might not lose in a war of attrition.
But the guy who's coming right now isn't even human!
The fortress at Beimen Pass was built on a mountain ravine seventy meters high. The passage below was blocked by huge rocks, making it very difficult to enter or exit unless Nairbusi personally ordered the gate to be opened.
But no matter how powerful this thing is, it can only withstand people, not such a terrifying behemoth!
A height of 50 meters!
What does that mean?
Once this Vajra stands below the pass, it's practically touching the pass with its hand. And look at this guy's incredibly strong muscles; if he really moves, he could leap onto the pass in one bound. How can we fight then?
Fortunately, there is still some time.
Nairbusi immediately asked his adjutant what they had experienced after encountering King Kong.
Upon learning that even a crossbow the thickness of two fingers could not harm Vajra in the slightest, Nai'erbusi immediately moved out the largest crossbow in the pass.
This thousand-machine crossbow was enormous, and the bolts it carried were as thick as a person's forearm, so its power when fired was naturally astonishing.
This thousand-machine crossbow was usually just sitting there collecting dust, because it was meant to be used against the enemy's massive siege weapons, such as catapults, battering rams, and sturdy shield formations.
No matter how powerful the catapult is, a single volley of crossbow bolts will shatter it to pieces.
The battering ram would be instantly blasted into pieces.
Even the strongest shield could be pierced by a crossbow bolt as thick as a forearm, and then, like skewering candied hawthorns, it would impale dozens of people behind it, taking several lives in the process.
This item can be described as the greatest defensive weapon on the battlefield!
It is very effective even when used to deal with enemy cavalry charging ahead.
Nai'er dared not underestimate the enemy. As soon as he saw King Kong walking quickly toward the North Gate, another huge tiger appeared in the sky.
He endured the chill that ran down his spine, waiting until the Vajra was about to enter the optimal killing range of the Thousand Machine Crossbow, when suddenly a shout rang out:
"Someone, prepare to trigger the Thousand Machine Crossbow."
"Everyone, be careful! If even the Thousand Machine Crossbow can't deal with this giant beast, we're all doomed. Be on your best!"
Having said that, Nairbusi watched as the giant creature approached him little by little. The closer the Vajra got, the more frightened he became.
The opportunity has finally arrived!
"Cut the trigger rope and fire the Thousand Machine Crossbow!"
"quick!"
