C35 (1/2)

”Good heavens! ”What's going on?” Qiu Zhen was so shocked that he almost fell to the ground. His expression changed as he looked around in alarm.

The workers in the blacksmith's shop also put down what they were doing and walked out to see what was going on.

Tang Yin frowned as he listened. Vaguely, he heard shouts from the Ning Army Camp side.

Before he could figure it out, another loud sound rang out. It was so loud that it sounded like a thunderclap in the clear sky.

His reaction was extremely fast. He was only slightly stunned for a moment before he immediately realized that something was wrong. He rushed out of the blacksmith shop, and as he ran towards the city gate, he shouted at Qiu Zhen: ”The Ning Army may have started attacking the city, don't follow them, go back to the Tavern!”

Qiu Zhen did not listen to him. He swung his legs and quickly followed behind Tang Yin.

Seeing that he was following her, Tang Yin bellowed: Why are you following me? What can you do on the battlefield? ”

Although his words were heartless, it was still the truth. A scheming Qiu Zhen truly wouldn't have any effect on the battlefield where the two armies fought in close quarters.

Qiu Zhen swallowed his saliva, and said while panting: ”At least I can help you with something, or find a few helpers!”

Tang Yin cast a sidelong glance at him, and lazily said more nonsense, casually saying: ”Do as you wish!”

His guess was right. The Ning army had begun to attack the city.

The gigantic catapult of rocks smashed one after another onto the walls of the Tong Gate, producing deafening sounds. The huge impact turned into a destructive force, smashing the walls until they were riddled with holes, and sending dirt flying everywhere.

On top of the city walls, soldiers could not dodge in time and were struck by huge rocks that fell from the sky. In an instant, not even their bones were left, turning into a pile of meat paste.

For a moment, the sounds of collisions, shouts, screams, shouts, and the sound of bones breaking rang out on the city walls.

The stone-throwing truck's attack was just the prelude, and it was soon followed by the pressure of the Ning Army's square formation.

The Ningxia army's siege speed was not that fast. They paid attention to the formation and the connection and coordination between the phalanx and the phalanx.

The soldiers in the formation moved slowly, step by step. Of course, this also had something to do with the armor the soldiers were wearing.

They were wearing iron helmets and armor, and at the same time they were very good at protecting themselves, they also sacrificed their speed, making the soldiers look very clumsy when they moved.

The Ning army took the ten thousand man legions as the basic square formation, then the five legions as the square formation to attack the Yan type front formation, then the ten legions as the middle formation, and finally the five legions as the rear formation.

The first time they attacked a city, they were usually on probing grounds, but the Ning Army was contrary to common sense. All of a sudden, they invested 200,000 people into the front lines, and their momentum was terrifying enough.

”The enemy is starting to attack the city, prepare bows and arrows, prepare the Rolling Lumber And Stone —”

The thousand-man commander and captain's shouts rose and fell one after another on top of the wall. Coupled with the thundering footsteps of the enemies as they advanced, the atmosphere was extremely tense. Everyone present tensed up, and a fierce battle was about to break out.

Giant rocks were still incessantly smashing against the city walls. The Feng Country soldiers were hidden behind the arrow battleships, each of them tightly hugging their weapons. Their expressions were filled with nervousness and fear.

Facing so many enemies, under such strong pressure, no one could relax.

When Ning Jun s frontline was only a hundred metres away from Tong Gate City, the grisly catapults finally stopped, but following that, shouts and shouts came from beneath the city, causing Ning Jun Wu Yi's soldiers to speed up and begin attacking.

”Listen to my command!”

Who knew when Zongzheng had reached the tower, bowing down, shouted loudly from above.

Footsteps outside the city drew closer and closer, and more and more cold sweat broke out on the faces of the soldiers, and the hands that held the weapons began to tremble uncontrollably.

No one said a word. The entire city was deathly quiet. All that was left was the sound of panting and breathing, as well as the sound of orderly footsteps coming from outside the city.

The silence before the great battle was even more unbearable and depressing than during the battle. The nervousness was not released and could only be suppressed. It made one almost go crazy.

When the lead member of Ning Jun was only fifty metres away from the city wall, Zongzheng Guangxiao finally gave the order to attack. He used all his strength to wave the banner in his hand and shouted: ”Release the arrows!”

”Release the arrows! Release the arrows!”

The officers close by, some distance away, repeated his order.

Following a simultaneous whoosh, Feng Soldier who were originally hiding behind the arrow stack all stood up and shot towards the Ning soldiers below the city walls.

The arrows were as dense as raindrops. All of a sudden, he saw a row of black clouds float out from the top of the city, rapidly descending towards the Ning Army's square formation.

Ding ding dang dang! Pu, Pu, Pu!

The sound of iron weapons colliding together, the sound of armor breaking, and heart-tearing and lung-splitting screams resonated under the city walls. In just a split-second, hundreds of soldiers of the Ning Army were struck down by the arrows.

However, this did not affect the speed of Ning Jun's advance. The concentrated amount of soldiers were like machines without emotions, forgetting about life and death, forgetting about fear, and moving forward mechanically.

”Release the arrows, release the arrows, continue releasing the arrows!”
