Chapter 1319: Fight to the Death

"beep……"

With the arrival of dawn, the low and long horn sounded suddenly.

At the same time, the sound of horse hooves continued to be heard.

Looking up, they saw a large group of cavalrymen galloping towards their city.

The horses' hooves kicked up dust on the ground, covering the surroundings. In addition, it was just dawn and the light was not very good, so Lu Xing on the city wall could not see what was happening behind the enemy cavalry.

However, looking at the enemy's posture, it seems like they are about to officially attack the city!

"Beat the drum! Everyone on alert! Stand up all the straw men!"

Lu Xing quickly issued an order and ordered the messenger, "Notify General Yu immediately, the enemy seems to be preparing to formally attack the city!"

As Lu Xing began to prepare for battle, the enemy cavalry approached rapidly.

When they were about sixty feet away from the city wall, the enemy cavalry drew their bows and drew their arrows, taking advantage of the speed of the cavalry's charge to shoot arrows at the city wall.

"Whizzing……"

A rain of arrows poured down from the sky. Although many of them fell on the straw men that were intentionally placed at the gaps, a small number of arrows fell on the defenders on the city wall.

Looking at the rain of arrows, Lu Xing's heart suddenly trembled.

This is definitely the prelude to a formal attack!

The enemy obviously wanted to use the speed of the cavalry to shoot arrows farther, first consume some of their troops with a rain of arrows, and then launch a full-scale attack!

He thought the enemy would continue to torment them for a few more days.

I didn’t expect the enemy to launch a full-scale attack so quickly!

Well come!

He wanted to see if the enemy could capture their city!

The enemy cavalry continued to attack the defenders on the city wall with arrows, and many of the straw men were so full of arrows that they could no longer be pierced.

But the enemy's arrow rain attack also caused hundreds of casualties.

After several rounds of arrow rain, the enemy cavalry quickly withdrew from the battlefield.

"kill!"

"Kill!"

At the same time, a deafening cry of killing rang out.

A large number of enemy infantry rushed towards the city through the road filled in the moat. They were so dense that there was no end in sight.

"throw!"

Following an order from a young general, the catapults on the city wall began to work.

Large rocks fell from the sky, smashing into the crowd with the breath of death.

Faced with such a dense enemy force, every stone would kill or injure the enemy.

The enemy's archers also quickly launched a counterattack, shooting specifically at those who were operating the catapults.

Even with the protection of shields, many soldiers operating the catapults died under the enemy's rain of arrows.

Lu Xing surveyed the entire battlefield with a stern gaze, and was faintly excited.

The enemy has deployed so many people to attack the city, so we can let them kill to their heart's content!

The greater the enemy's casualties, the more unwilling they will be when they fail to capture their city!

The more unwilling the enemy is and the more they continue to attack, the greater the casualties will be!

This is a vicious cycle!

Soon, a large number of enemy troops rushed to the city wall. Rows of ladders were placed on the wall. Soldiers with shields kept climbing up the ladders, but were hit by stones by the defenders. Some people even had the ladders overturned and fell from them.

As long as the soldiers guarding the city leaned their heads out slightly, archers below would shoot arrows at them.

Some were shot in the chest, some in the throat...

"Smash the kerosene tank!"

Seeing that the enemy troops were increasing in number, Lu Xing quickly gave orders.

"Boom...bang..."

One by one, burning kerosene tanks were thrown down.

Soon, the area below the city wall turned into a sea of ​​fire.

"what……"

"Help me..."

Scary screams continued to be heard from the sea of ​​fire.

The air was filled with the smell of blood and barbecue.

It smells delicious, but it makes people sick.

Faced with the scorching sea of ​​fire, the soldiers attacking the city fled in panic.

"Dang Dang Dang..."

At the same time, the sound of retreat was heard from the enemy's rear.

Soon, the attacking troops retreated, leaving behind two or three thousand corpses.

"Wait until the fire is out and organize an attack immediately!"

Qinpu went to the front line in person, looking at the nearby city with a stern gaze.

He wanted to see how much kerosene the enemy had!

As long as we use up all the enemy's kerosene, let's see how they can defend themselves!

On the city wall, Lu Xing quickly ordered people to clean up the battlefield and carry the wounded down the wall for treatment.

Yu Shizhong also brought his troops to replace the guard.

While the smoke was thick and the enemy could not see their situation clearly, they could seize the time to change guard.

Yu Shizhong came to Lu Xing, took a look from afar through the thick smoke, and said with a smile: "It seems that the enemy wants to use up all our kerosene!"

"Sure!"

Lu Xing laughed, "Their goal is almost achieved..."

They really didn't have much kerosene left.

They couldn't keep using kerosene to hold off the enemy's attacks.

Soon, they will begin to truly defend the city.

"Let them attack!"

Yu Shizhong's eyes flashed coldly, "You lead your troops to rest first. I will send someone to notify you when you need to change guard or support! In addition, prepare more hay in case of emergency..."

If they wanted to change guard during the day, they would have to light thick smoke around them so that the enemy could not see their change of guard at all and would continue to attack foolishly.

Only in this way can we continuously deplete the enemy's military strength.

"Okay! Watch yourself!"

Lu Xing didn't say anything more and quickly withdrew from the city wall.

While the fire was still there, Yu Shizhong quickly organized people to set up defenses, waiting to meet the next wave of enemy attacks.

Half an hour later, the fire around the city wall was almost completely extinguished.

As expected, the enemy attacked again.

Seeing the enemy troops charging towards the city fearlessly, Yu Shizhong could not help but yell with red eyes: "Tell everyone, the time for revenge has come! Kill them ruthlessly!"

Having been backstabbed by their allies before, they suffered heavy losses.

Now is the time for revenge!

Yu Shizhong also has to save his face!

He led his father-in-law to piece together an army of 20,000 to 30,000 men, but in the end only a few thousand were left due to the deaths. He was too embarrassed to bear this.

This time, the enemy must pay a heavy price!

As the enemy attacked again, a new round of offense and defense quickly began.

This time, Yu Shizhong and his men didn't have much kerosene, and Yu Shizhong didn't let anyone use it.

They must have kept some kerosene on hand just in case.

Without the burning sea of ​​fire, the enemy's offensive became more fierce. A large number of enemy troops crossed the moat and launched a fierce attack on the South Gate and West Gate.

Under the protection of the shield soldiers, Yu Shizhong commanded calmly.

He didn't know how many of the soldiers defending the city would be alive.

But he knew that the enemy would suffer heavy casualties!

On the other side, Qinpu also became angry.

With the second round of attacks blocked, immediately launch a third round of attacks.

They must rush into the city in one go.

Since we have launched an all-out attack, we cannot give the enemy any chance to breathe!

Now, both sides are just fighting to the death!

Whoever lets go first loses...
