Chapter 307: Giant Crossbow Attack and Bloody Battle
Realizing that something was wrong with Shen's mother, Qijier rushed over to catch her immediately. Unfortunately, it was too late. Shen's mother was determined not to give Qijier any leeway and jumped off the towering city wall with her daughter.
Although some of these barbarian dogs could speak a little Dajing dialect, they knew nothing about Dajing's customs and culture. Qijier, the only one who had a deep understanding of it, was far away from them.
By the time Qijier reacted, Shen's mother had already fallen back resolutely with her daughter. Qijier, who pounced on them, only had time to grab a piece of Shen Qing's tattered clothes, and watched the mother and daughter fall down amid his daughter's terrified screams.
Jueluo, who was a little slow to react, was furious and yelled, "Damn it! Damn it!"
At the foot of the city wall, Shen Yue and his men watched helplessly as Shen's mother and daughter fell, their hearts pounding. The offensive was already underway, Jue Luo Luo was annoyed and was about to give orders. Shen's family knew that they were in danger of death, and were even more afraid of falling into a situation where they could not even die. Needless to say, before Hu Gou could react, one by one, starting from the lookout beside Shen's mother, they took the initiative to follow in the footsteps of the mother and daughter.
"Shen Yue, my son, you must avenge us and kill all these inhumane dogs!"
"Brother Yue, the general died in a hundred battles. Although I am not as good as you, I am not afraid. I am also a man of the Shen family!"
"Brother Yue, we must destroy every inch of Hu Gou's land and kill him without leaving a single piece of armor!"
"kill!"
"The Shen family army is mighty, Dajing is mighty!"
"Brother Yue, you must avenge us..."
At one moment, more than a hundred figures on the tower fell down resolutely;
Under the tower, Shen Yue and other generals watched them commit suicide. Shen Yue's heart was filled with blood, but he swallowed it hard. His nails pierced his flesh, blood dripped from his clenched fists, and tears of blood welled up in the corners of his eyes...
Everyone, everyone present, no matter they were officers or soldiers, their eyes turned red and their hearts ached, with tears falling down. They felt helpless and sad as they looked at the figures falling one after another. Through them, everyone seemed to see their loved ones and the people who had suffered die one by one.
Everyone was crying and angry.
"General, please give the order to attack the city!"
"General, please give the order!"
"General, please give the order. Let's kill all these sons of bitches!"
All the soldiers shouted in unison, "The Shen family army is mighty, Dajing is mighty, the Shen family army is mighty, Dajing is mighty..."
Looking at his relatives lying under the tower, Shen Yue shed tears of grief, drew the Mo Dao from his waist, pointed the blade directly at the city ahead where Jueluo Luo was, and roared angrily, "All troops, listen to my orders..."
Immediately afterwards, the Dajing army moved together, roaring and fearless.
Looking at the crowds rushing towards the city, Jueluo Luo never expected that he would shoot himself in the foot. The Shen family was so stubborn that they would rather die than compromise. He also never expected that the wolf cub could remain calm when seeing his relatives. He really didn't look like a child who had not even reached adulthood.
It was a pity that it was too late to regret. It is said that an army in despair will win. Looking at the Dajing army outside the city gate, who were howling and charging towards them fearlessly as if they had been injected with chicken blood, Jueluo was filled with despair.
"Warriors, you are all the most valiant and skilled baturu from all the tribes of the royal court. A mere Jingjun is no problem. We were able to defeat them and make them abandon their cities and capitals that day. We can also create glory again today. Kill them."
Hu Gou was not from Dajing. They hunted in the jungle and roamed around. They were strong in both military and horses, but they were only good at looting and sneak attacks, and fighting with cavalry. How could they defend a city or fight a siege? They were frightened by the aura of the Dajing soldiers. For a time, everyone was terrified. There was no one in the city to cooperate. No one sent rolling stones, no medical soldiers, no backup. They just watched the Dajing army, which was approaching, build a human wall with iron shields under the city and collect corpses.
The two sides fought fiercely, and the Hu people were defeated step by step.
Seeing the Dajing soldiers setting up ladders and people climbing up continuously from below, some of their own people were afraid to fight. Jueluo Luo waved the blade in his hand, showing ruthlessness, and swung the blade one after another. After killing several of his cowardly companions around him with great efficiency, he raised his scimitar and swore an oath. His ruthless attitude intimidated the army, and he led the way, killing and shouting. The situation turned around and the battle between the two sides became stalemate.
As the commander-in-chief, Shen Yue should have been in charge of the central army to supervise the battle, but today's incident was too much of a blow for Shen Yue to sit still. As soon as the battle started, Shen Yue took the lead and rushed towards the direction of his mother and sister under the city wall.
The defensive wall that was hooked by the shield was hit by rolling stones from the city, making a bang. At this moment, Shen Yue, who reached out to grab his mother's body, found that his sister, who was tightly protected in his mother's arms, was still alive. Shen Yue was overjoyed and immediately called his confidants to send his sister to the general's tent in the rear for treatment. He stared at the top of the city wall with bloodthirstiness, vowing to destroy the enemy today.
Bang, bang, bang...
Whoosh...
"Kill!"
The sounds of crashing into the city and dense arrows flying, mixed with the sounds of fierce fighting that resounded through the sky, siege ladders were set up one after another, and people climbed up the ladders quickly one by one. Then one ladder after another was pushed away and fell, and then kerosene dripped from it, and in an instant a sea of fire broke out under the city.
The enemy was also resisting with the determination to die. The soldiers realized that the situation was not good and retreated quickly. Seeing that the siege was blocked, the officers around them went to find Shen Yue to report.
"General, the enemy's defense is very strong. They have already used kerosene. The soldiers have suffered heavy losses. Can we withdraw temporarily?"
Shen Yue shook his head. "The army is in mourning, and this is the time to make a final push. If we retreat now, we will lose our strength. If we retreat a third time, we will be exhausted. We must not retreat."
"But……"
"No buts. Pass my order and notify the Giant Crossbow Battalion to move forward."
"Here."
As the order was given, the flag officer gave a signal, and the secret weapon hidden in the army behind him was revealed.
Jianma and many strong soldiers pushed ten huge crossbow carts and appeared in front of the army. It didn't take long for them to reach Shen Yue. Shen Yue directly got on the first crossbow cart, aimed at the position, took out a long steel crossbow as thick as his wrist, installed it himself, stepped on the machine, used his internal force to pull the bowstring, and aimed the head of the crossbow at the lower part of the city wall.
With just a shout, Shen Yue let go suddenly, and the long steel barrel on the huge crossbow flew out like an arrow, passed through thousands of troops, and pierced into the solid city wall fiercely, penetrating three inches into the wood. The force was so great that the tail of the barrel was shaking and buzzing.
Become!
Shen Yue was satisfied and did not delay any further. Seeing the huge crossbows behind him were in place, with bows fully drawn, Shen Yue ordered, "Set up the wooden warehouses along my head, three feet apart, with the steps upwards, and release them."
Immediately afterwards, all the powerful crossbows that were in position, starting from vehicle No. 2, fired long steel and wooden barrels one after another.
The people who controlled this secret weapon were all well-trained sharpshooters, and their arrows never missed their targets. With Shen Yue's order, the long wooden arrows broke through the air one after another and successfully pierced the wooden arrow three feet above the wooden arrow fired by Shen Yue. One wooden arrow followed another, and even if there was some deviation, it was not big, and in an instant they formed an upward staircase.
