"Heh, so you've already torn off the mask of civility?"
Meng Tian's lips curled up slightly. This was good. He hadn't had enough of fighting the Xiongnu last time.
Today, let him experience just how powerful the grassland overlords are four hundred years later!
"Qin warriors, remove your animal skin armor!"
At Meng Tian's command, all the elite soldiers revealed their brand-new armor and weapons, their killing intent overwhelming all directions!
"Hmm...? A Han Chinese!"
Bu Benyi then realized that the things hidden under the animal hides were actually ballistae.
He then realized why the young and vigorous leader would be so foolish as to give him such a huge benefit.
It turns out there was a trap here; Kui Tou was treating him like a fool and letting him fall into it!
"Damn it... Don't stop, take it down in one fell swoop!"
At this moment, their tribe's warriors had already ordered a charge. If they were to order a retreat halfway through, they would only end up disorganized, trampling each other, or even causing the camp to shatter.
Although the enemy's strength is unknown, the defending forces do not appear to be in the majority.
Therefore, he had no choice but to take a desperate gamble and fight to the death!
"Mounted archers! Cover the infantry's assault on the city!"
The sight of tens of thousands of cavalrymen riding and shooting should have been terrifying.
However, this chaotic mounted archery did not harm the soldiers on the city wall at all.
"Balloons, fire!"
Not to be outdone, Meng Tian ordered his men to aim at the most densely populated areas of the Xianbei people and fire large crossbow bolts!
Each of those massive crossbow bolts caused at least a hundred casualties!
"Damn it, cavalry, scatter!"
These Han Chinese did not fire arrows; instead, they used large crossbow bolts directly.
This was something Bu Benyi hadn't anticipated.
However, this also shows that the enemy was short of military equipment. Perhaps they obtained the ballista by chance, but had no other defensive equipment.
The advantage is still on their side!
"Damn it, I should have spent some money to buy the Han people's large bows. These small bows can't kill those people on the city wall at all..."
After two rounds of mounted archery, Bu Benyi also realized that this offensive was having little effect.
"Cavalrymen, dismount and join the siege! Only my personal guard will remain as the supervisory force. Anyone who flinches will be killed without mercy!"
With Bu Benyi's quick thinking and adaptability, more Xianbei warriors joined the siege.
But how could Meng Tian let them have their way?
"Finally, they've all gathered together..."
Meng Tian slightly raised his right hand, waiting for the enemy's attack on the city to be completed, and then suddenly swung it.
"First roll the logs, then pile up the stones, and finally pour the molten gold!"
"promise!"
They kept Zhao Hao's instructions on the three essentials for defending the city firmly in mind.
Back then, the Xiongnu suffered a similar setback, unable to conquer Yanmen Pass for a long time.
Today, they will replicate this action on the Xianbei people!
"Great Qin warriors, protect our land and safeguard our nation!"
Seeing that they were about to engage in close combat, Meng Tian drew his sword with his left hand, gripped his spear tightly with his right, and shouted loudly.
"Protect our land, safeguard our homeland, and kill the enemy!"
"Wind, wind, wind!"
The defensive equipment of Shaling City remained limited, but it killed many Xianbei soldiers who were not good at attacking cities.
Even if someone manages to scale the city wall, they will be instantly killed by the fearless Qin warriors!
"Where did these elite troops come from? Why are their morale so high and their ability to defend the city so formidable!"
Bu Benyi had fought against Han people before, but this was the first time he had seen such a resolute and strong army in the border region.
"Hmph, die!"
Meng Tian seized the opportunity, taking advantage of Bu Benyi's momentary lapse in concentration.
With the last ballista in hand, aim at the direction of Bu Benyi and fire straight at it!
"No!"
Bang!
Bu Benyi was instantly pierced by a huge crossbow bolt, and he could only exhale, never breathe again.
"Hahaha, you treacherous generals are dead, now retreat at once!"
The death of Bu Benyi startled the Xianbei people under Meilu Hui's command.
They couldn't possibly have missed the fact that the massive crossbows were aimed at the location of Bu Benyi.
However, their momentary lapse in concentration, while prompting the elite troops to launch a sudden counterattack, did not cause them to retreat.
"Pass on my military order: This city shall be taken today!"
The remaining 40,000 Xianbei troops were all deployed under Kui Tou's orders!
He had been waiting for this moment for a long time; the Han people had finally killed that eyesore.
Now, he can take this opportunity to rightfully seize the city and, incidentally, annex the tribal warriors of Bubenyi!
"kill!!"
The Xianbei army under Kui Tou was equipped with all kinds of engineering equipment, such as ladders and battering rams!
It seems they haven't been idle these past few days; on the contrary, they've made considerable preparations for a successful siege!
"Warriors of the Xianbei, kill! Waaah!"
Meng Tian drew his blood-stained sword and wiped away the filth.
"Heh heh... Xianbei traitors!"
As Meng Tian kicked the first warrior off the city wall, his eyes were filled with unwavering determination.
Thump!
The iron spear slammed heavily to the ground, Meng Tian holding the spear in his right hand and the sword in his left, his whole body covered in blood.
"Brothers, whether we surrender or perish, we will all die. Since we are going to die anyway, why not die for our country?"
Meng Tian's shout was deafening, and the response from all the elite soldiers did not disappoint him.
"Defend our homeland, we would rather die than surrender!"
"Defend our homeland, we would rather die than surrender!!"
Meng Tian's white teeth, stained red with blood, parted slightly.
"Hahaha, even if I die today, I will drag more Xianbei people down with me!"
kill! "
"Strong wind! Strong wind! Strong wind!"
On the hillside further from the battlefield, Zhao Hao could already hear it.
