Chapter 153 Fierce Battle
The morning of the second day of defending the city was filled with dark clouds.

The wind and sand rolled in and hit the north city wall like a surging wave.

Thirty thousand barbarians left the camp and pushed Wutai and Yunlou, which were high up on the city wall, closer. This siege weapon had internal stairs, allowing the barbarians to engage in direct combat with the soldiers on the city walls.

At the same time, dozens of several-meter-tall lumps of flesh were being pulled by the barbarians with iron chains, gradually approaching the city wall.

"Master, that is the Tai Sui, a strange beast raised in the Northern Barbarians' Great Snow Mountain Sacrifice Temple. It is very flexible and easy to reproduce. Ordinary city defense equipment and bows and arrows cannot cause any fundamental damage to it. It is usually used by the Northern Barbarians to cover their advance."

Jiang He looked at the Tai Sui in the distance with a solemn gaze. He had seen this strange beast at the Shizhu water source of the Lan tribe. Its body fluids could keep internal organs active and it might even have the function of healing wounds.

"Shoot." Deputy General Du Chang ordered.

The Beihun Camp soldiers, who had been replenished with 2,000 soldiers on the city wall, all drew their bows and fired arrows. Five rounds of arrows rose into the air and fell like a rainstorm on the heads of the barbarian troops at the forefront of the siege force.

The simple round shields could not provide effective defense, and thousands of people were shot and killed during the advance.

The barbarians stopped in their tracks, and hundreds of Northern Barbarian cavalrymen acting as supervisors rushed over immediately, killing dozens of people with swords and guns.

Jiang He took out the Scarlet Baptism, loaded and aimed, and activated the three shooting skills of rapid, shock and fatal at the same time. With the sniper rifle's own bullet flight speed enhancement and armor-breaking blessing, a dark red light like lightning burst out.

The upper body of the barbarian centurion of the supervisory team was blown to pieces along with his armor, and his corpse fell off his horse, splashing a layer of dust.

call!
The soldiers on the city wall burst into cheers.

Jiang He fired continuously, specifically aiming at the barbarians who were wearing armor.

Gunshots rang out and bodies fell to the ground one after another.

Until the alchemical piercing bombs were almost exhausted, the barbarian ranks actually began to retreat. Some acting centurions were unwilling to accept death and encouraged their troops to flee, which made the ranks, which were already no different from cannon fodder, even looser.

In the Northern Barbarian Army formation, the Lan clan leader roared.

"The barbarians, pigs and dogs, go to the camp first!"

At the same time, another captain made the same choice.

Two groups of thousands of elite Northern Barbarians came out. They were rare infantry soldiers on the grassland, and each of them held a mighty sword.

These elite soldiers squeezed into the Tai Sui, and two rounds of arrow rain pierced the Tai Sui like hedgehogs, but failed to cause casualties. The addition of the Northern Barbarian soldiers also stabilized the Yi people's camp.

As the army approached, Deputy General Du Chang hurriedly transferred another thousand men from other city walls to defend the front.

Ladders were placed on the top of the wall, and empty city towers were pressed against the battlements. The barbarians, as dense as an ant colony, launched a ferocious attack.

"Pour some water!" Deputy General Du Chang shouted at the top of his lungs.

The iron barrels were carried from the city to the top of the city wall by soldiers one by one, and then poured down on the ladders. Immediately, the wails and screams of the barbarians were heard, and then the sound disappeared when they landed on the ground.

The rotten water seemed endless, and combined with the city defense equipment, it caused great casualties to the siege soldiers on the ladders. Four elite centurions guarded the top of the city, fighting with the barbarians who kept pouring out of the cloud tower. From time to time, soldiers from both sides fell from the sky and died on the ground. The small catapults transformed from bed crossbows on the top of the city kept throwing out human-shaped projectiles wrapped in flames. The barbarians who saw this scene were shocked and angry.

Jiang He and fifteen of his vicious personal soldiers were guarding a cloud tower. He stood behind the parapet and swung his spear left and right. No one could stop the three thousand jin Changhen Spear combined with the tiger's strength. The killing gradually turned into a boring repetition.

However, the number of merits is rising steadily. The evil army relies on the swords and knives snatched from the Jubao Tower to disrupt the enemy through continuous projection. Every time an enemy soldier is killed, the merit will be counted on the owner's head.

After half an hour of fierce fighting, corpses piled up like mountains under the city wall, blood flowed like rivers, and the rotten water created a muddy area. The elite soldiers of the Northern Barbarians joined the siege. After climbing up the Yun Tower, they immediately posed a serious threat to the soldiers defending the city. At the same time, Tai Sui caught the fallen soldiers of his own side, and his flexible body mitigated the impact, significantly reducing casualties.

Faced with the rotten water, the Northern Barbarian soldiers on the cloud ladders would rather fall than affect their colleagues below. Some soldiers on the cloud tower even rolled into the enemy crowd, risking being hacked to death, just to gain a foothold for their colleagues.

These soldiers in the vanguard camp are skilled in combat and fearless of death.

In the distance, seeing the situation change, the Lan chief and the captain of ten thousand men immediately sent out their main force, and two battle formations of ten thousand men advanced.

The main force of the Northern Barbarians approached the top of the city wall, and the other three walls were also attacked.

Behind the inky black Great Wall two or three miles away, support arrived. General Hao, who was watching from afar, gave the order and forty catapults fired at the same time. Flames were projected into the sky. The construction sites of the Mountain City and the Fire City were at the end of the range of the catapults, and the disadvantage was that they could not distinguish between friend and foe.

After several rounds of projection and fireworks blooming, the dense siege troops suffered heavy casualties, with thousands of people lying dead on the spot.

Jiang He waved his hand, and a puppet handed over a long sword and a cloth strip, tied with ten black gems, and then threw it out.

The chaos bomb exploded, and the Cloud Tower on the far left of the city wall was blown up in the middle. Hundreds of people were torn apart by the impact, and hundreds more fell. The collapse of the Cloud Tower not only hit the two hundred-man teams, but also greatly damaged the morale.

Merit +408
Three more black gem swords shot across the sky, and the three cloud towers collapsed one after another. The battlefield seemed to be silent for a moment, and only the front cloud tower was still standing on the battlefield. The expected explosion did not occur, and a large number of elite barbarians climbed up the tower to attack.

Jiang He was guarding the front of the city wall, his body was splattered with flesh and blood, and there was a pool of blood under his feet.

A Tantric Dharma protector hid among the armored soldiers, and his cassock demon-subduing steps were unpredictable and kept pace with the Nine Provinces Misty Rain Steps. Having learned the lesson from his last head-on battle, this Dharma protector had no intention of fighting head-on, but was preparing for a sneak attack.

The demon-subduing pestle attacked from a blind spot at an extremely tricky angle. The Tantric guardian delivered a full-force blow, hitting the enemy's cheek acupoint. Before this, the opponent had displayed a powerful body protection secret skill, so he had to hit the weakness directly to kill him with one blow.

With the unique steps combined with superior martial arts, the Demon Subduing Pestle is like a giant crossbow shooting an arrow, with extraordinary power.

In an instant, Jiang He swept and killed several Northern Barbarian soldiers in front of him, and their armors were all shattered. Then he stomped on the ground several times, using the degraded version of the Calming Step learned from Gun King III.

The demon-subduing pestle passed by the enemy's hair, and Jiang He pushed the end of the spear to the left, but the light and dark spiral force only cut a thumb-long scar on the enemy's chest.

At the critical moment, the Tantric guardian used the Kasaya Step again, his figure was like a dream, and he missed the attack. He knew that he had lost hope of killing the Earl of Military Merit in front of him.

But in the next second, the face of the Tantric guardian suddenly changed, his body suddenly stopped, and then he vomited several mouthfuls of black blood. His whole body became dull, his blood vessels spread black, and his skin festered.

Before a breath had passed since the perfect-grade blood poison was injected, this top-grade martial arts master fell to the ground and died.

Jiang He took a step forward and drew the blood from his heart.
