Chapter 158: The Price of Veterans(2/2)

Immediately following the giant stone bomb, more black sulphurs also roared, drawing graceful arcs in the air, roaring towards the solid city wall of Hu Xiao Pass.

"boom!"

A huge stone bullet directly hit the arrow tower at Hu Xiao Pass, and instantly collapsed half of the majestic arrow tower. Countless broken rafters and rubble poured down, rolling up smoke and dust. The dozens of Mingyue Empire soldiers guarding below had no time to dodge, and were buried alive on the top of the city by broken rafters and rubble.

"Boom boom!"

Two other huge stone bullets hit the slug at the moment, and a huge gap was broken in an instant. Countless broken bricks and gravels collapsed downwards. The two nearby Mingyue Empire soldiers were not yet firmly standing, and they suddenly fell from the nearly ten feet high wall. When they landed, they had already fallen into flesh mud.

More stone bullets hit the wall directly, and instantly, huge pits were left on the solid and thick wall. After the blue bricks on the surface collapsed, the yellow mud inside was faintly exposed.

After the huge stone bombs raged, more sulphur bombs followed one after another. Many of the 500 sulphur bombs failed to fly to the city or directly crossed the wall. Only a very small part could fall on the junction. However, the dozens of sulphur bombs that fell on the junction caused great damage to the Mingyue defenders at the junction.

As soon as the burning clay pot was hit, it suddenly shattered, and the tongue of flames flew, and the tincture oil filled with the clay pot splashed out at the same time. Wherever the tincture oil reached, it suddenly turned into a burning sea of ​​fire. The soldiers of the Mingyue Empire who were trapped in the sea of ​​fire were immediately covered in fire, running and wailing on the top of the city, looking extremely miserable.

Tiger roars closed.

Situ Rui's thin body remained motionless, like an old green pine standing at the critical moment. Huge rock bullets whizzed down from the sky and kept hitting the solid wall. Situ Rui could clearly feel that the Guancheng under his feet was trembling slightly and moaning in pain.

One after another, turbulent oil bombs kept falling on the city, and a sea of ​​fire bloomed from left to right and far. The fiery red flames ran around the city, just like a sickle dripping blood in the hands of the god of death, which was crazily harvesting the lives of the Mingyue soldiers. The attack of the Guanghui Empire Army had not really begun, but the Mingyue soldiers had suffered heavy casualties!

Situ Ying, Situ Yue, Tuoba Ye and the three division commanders of the Yingzhou Legion were all standing behind Situ Rui, and they all looked at Situ Rui's thin back. The group of catapults of the Guanghui Empire Army was frantically destroying the walls of the Hu Xiao Pass, while the counterattack of the Mingyue Empire Army seemed weak and powerless. Compared with the Guanghui Empire Army outside the pass, the counterattack of the more than a dozen catapults of the Mingyue Guard seemed insignificant.

Finally, the catapult group of the Glorious Imperial Army stopped raging because their siege car group and the city-hit convoy had approached the wall. If the catapult continued to attack, it would likely hurt its own people by mistake.

The Mingyue Imperial Army on the wall finally breathed a sigh of relief. Before the enemy could reach the gate, they began to nervously clear the messy battlefield. The injured soldiers were carried off from the gate wall. The burning fire was quickly extinguished with the sand pile. The overturned oil pan was raised again, and the collapsed arrow tower was also cleared out. Teams of archers had already driven up to the city and lined up along the back of the balustrade. Infantry longbows had been pulled open, and cold heavy arrows had aimed at the slowly approaching Guanghui Imperial Army under the gate.

At the gate, the infantry of the two divisions had already protected dozens of siege vehicles and two huge city-killing vehicles and entered the range of Mingyue Archers. With Situ Rui's order, thousands of Mingyue Archers undressed the strings at the same time, and thousands of heavy arrows suddenly flew into the air, drawing trajectories in the air towards the head of the Guangming Imperial Army at the gate.

A series of loud trumpets suddenly sounded in the Guanghui Empire military formation, and the veterans who had experienced many battles raised the giant oar shield in their hands calmly.

In an instant, tens of thousands of shields were connected to the huge square formation of the Guanghui Empire Army, and almost all of the thousands of heavy arrows fell from the sky were blocked. Only a few heavy arrows fell from the gaps in the shield wall and shot dozens of unlucky veterans. However, this damage was insignificant to the huge attack echelon formed by the two divisions.

As soon as the arrow rain of the Mingyue defenders stopped, the Glorious Imperial Army under the Pass put down the shields on their heads. Thousands of Glorious archers showed ferocious figures from under the shield wall. With the trembling buzzing sound of bowstrings, thousands of heavy arrows had already swept into the air and piled up towards the junction.

The Mingyue Guard at the moment was also a veteran of many battles. The shield soldiers had already rushed forward calmly and set up a solid shield wall on the archer to block the attack of the Rainful Archer's arrow rain. Only a dozen unlucky Mingyue archers were shot by the rafty arrows and fell from the high wall with screams.
