Xianbei cavalrymen kept dying, their blood flowing like a river, converging into a stream that flowed into the nearby barren river, turning the river water red.
However, things are not going so smoothly for Yuwen Lie and Qu Bei.
They carried over a hundred ladders and launched continuous attacks on the city walls.
More than 10,000 militiamen, under the command of Yao Guangxiao, guarded the city walls and gates in an orderly manner.
Cloud City has higher walls and more complete defensive facilities than Shanwu City.
There are arrow towers and barbicans.
Before the Xianbei people even crossed the Yin Mountains, Yao Guangxiao foresaw an impending battle with them and, in anticipation of this, made preparations and deployed defenses well in advance.
There were countless defensive weapons for the city.
For example, if a huge log falls onto the city wall, as long as someone sets up a ladder, they can use pulleys to pull the log, making it swing back and forth on the city wall.
Each swing not only knocks down the siege ladders but also sweeps away the soldiers climbing the city walls.
For example, boiling water, oil pan, lime water, and "golden juice" used in the practice of treating people with no benefit!
Stones, stacked logs, fire pots...
Its main focus is on inflicting massive damage, using any means necessary!

Unexpectedly, those people dressed in plain clothes on the city wall actually made a more complete defense than the soldiers.
This was something he hadn't expected.
However, Tuoba Gao was determined to hold off the Han cavalry outside the city so that Yuwen Lie could quickly capture the city.
Yuwen Lie, accompanied by Qu Bei, came to the city walls to oversee the battle.
Inadvertently, he saw a bald man and a tall, imposing figure pointing and gesturing behind the battlements, completely unafraid of the arrows coming from below.
Could this person be Liu Wei, the prince of the Han Dynasty and the Marquis of Yinshan?
I heard that he has a monk by his side who likes to perform rituals to help people pass on to the afterlife.
"Bring me my bow!"
With a thought in mind, Yuwen Lie shouted at the guards beside him.
