Chapter 68 Meat Grinder (1)
“Woo woo woo woo…”
The endless sound of horns resounded inside and outside the city, and Meng Hu strode to the watchtower.
Standing on the watchtower and looking down, teams of strong men who had just received their weapons were rolling forward along the street, and then rushed to the city in chaos. The city was already crowded with people and boiling in the sky. Various kinds of guardians had already accumulated like mountains, and countless strong men were busy moving rolling wood, rocks, and barrels of turmeric oil to the city.
Dozens of large pots have been put up on the top of the city. The strong men guarding the big pot are busy adding firewood to the bottom of the pot. The tinder filled with the pot has begun to sizzle smoke. Although it is the cold winter month, the strong men near the oil pan still smell the suffocating heat from the air.
A large group of craftsmen were building a tower of a giant trencher next to the inner side of the city wall.
Not far away, more than a dozen giant trenchers had been set up. Under the tower raised high, a large group of strong men were desperately turning the winch wheels under the scolding of veterans, and twisting up the huge counterweight weighing more than thousands of kilograms bit by bit. Several heavy ox carts were slowly advancing along the street, and the ox carts were filled with crock pots wrapped in layers of hemp rope and filled with tinsel oil.
"Fourth Squadron, turn left..."
"The Second Team, run and walk..."
"The third team, all gathered..."
In the barracks where the watchtower was located, soldiers from various corps of the Fourth Division were lined up nervously, and teams of heavy infantry carried shields and rushed out of the barracks. Large groups of light infantry were standing still, and teams of cold-looking archers closed their eyes expressionlessly and rested.
There were busy figures of strong men everywhere, and all the elderly and children had been concentrated in the Governor's Mansion in the center of the city, especially those young children were placed in the huge cellar of the Governor's Mansion. The murderous aura before the war had filled every corner of the city, and even the sky above the head began to become gloomy and gray.
Taking a deep breath of the cold air, Meng Hu's eyes suddenly became unprecedentedly sharp. He liked this taste, the smell before the war came!

Outside the city, the bright moon comes to the formation.
Dozens of huge trenchers lined up in neat rows, and towering towers were like giants ready to storm at any time, making people shudder.
While waiting for a suffocating horse, a fast horse galloped: the attack began!
Officer Mingyue, who was waiting in front of the machine stone formation, pulled out his combat knife and raised it over the top.
Seeing this, dozens of Mingyue infantry guarding behind the trenchers immediately stepped forward with the torch in their hands and burned forward with the torch in their hands. The fire bombs placed in the throwing basket burned. The dozens of light soldiers guarding the side of the trenchers raised the wooden hammers in their hands when they saw this.
In a flash, the sword raised by Officer Mingyue slashed down fiercely.
"Puff! Puff! Puff!"
The Mingyue soldier guarding next to the trencher saw this and smashed the raised wooden hammer without hesitation. The wooden hammer collided with the machine scraper and made a muffled sound. The next moment, the counterweight that had lost the support of the machine scraper fell down with a shocking momentum. The swing arm connected to the counterweight suddenly bounced up into the air. Although it seemed that the huge tremor sound could be clearly heard from the swing of the arm swing from a distance!
"Crazy..."
The swing arm suddenly bounced up, and then the sound of iron chain swinging sounded. The throwing basket with the iron chain tied to the far end of the swing arm was swung hard into the air. In an instant, dozens of burning fire bombs had broken free from all constraints, and with a harsh roar, roaring towards Xiling City in the distance.
At the top of Xiling City, there are crowds of people, and the bustling chaos is like a vegetable market.
"boom!"
A fire bomb fell directly on the top of the city. With a loud bang, the clay pot filled with tinder oil shattered in an instant. The splashing sparks ignited the splashing tinder oil everywhere, and instantly formed a huge sea of fire. Although it took dozens of steps away, you could clearly feel the heat waves of moxibustion during the heated heat.
"Boom boom!"
Two more fire bombs fell near, splashing two tumbling seas of fire again. Dozens of strong men crowded on the city were swallowed by the stormy flames. Amid the shrill wailing, the two strong men rushed out of the sea of fire with all their flames, but fell to the top of the city.
"Uh, help..."
Another strong man escaped from the sea of fire. Two nearby strong men rushed forward to throw him to the ground. Just as they were about to extinguish the flames on the strong man's body, another burning fire bullet fell from the sky with a long tongue of flames. With a bang, the splattering flames completely swallowed the three of them in an instant.
"Idiots, you pigs!"
On the top of the city, a veteran was roaring with a sword waving his sword, "Hide quickly and find a place to hide!"
"call out……"
Amid the harsh and sharp whistling, another fire bomb roared down from the sky with the breath of breath. The veteran took a breath of air conditioning, leaped sideways and slid more than ten steps away. Several strong men standing behind the veteran looked at the veteran with some slight snatching them. Before they could understand what was going on, the sudden burst of flames had completely swallowed them.
The veteran fell to the ground, flicked off the sparks that were stained on the battle robe, and shook his head with a wry smile: "I told you to hide."
The next moment, the veteran turned around and roared angrily into the city: "Where is our catapult, why don't you stupid pigs fight back? Fight back..."
“Buzz buzz…”
The veteran's anger seemed to work, and a huge trembling sound suddenly sounded in the city, and even the solid walls began to tremble slightly. The next moment, more than a dozen burning fire bombs had already emerged from the city, with a sharp roar, dragging the swaying tail flames, and roaring towards the Mingyue Empire Army, which was densely packed with ants outside the city.
"Boom boom boom..."
Under the terrified eyes of the soldiers of the Mingyue Empire, burning flames fell from the sky and instantly bloomed into a dazzling sea of fire. In the surging flames, groups of Mingyue Empire soldiers were struggling and wailing. In the dense formation, even if they wanted to escape, they had nowhere to escape. Life and death were no longer controlled by their own hands.
In less than a moment, the burnt smell of barbecue was filled with the air.
On the towering watchtower, Meng Hu looked cold and did not move at all because of the casualties of the tyrants.
The Mingyue Middle Army, Situ Rui, who was standing on the chariot, also looked cold. The war had just begun, and the casualties of hundreds of people were nothing to the powerful Mingyue Empire Army!
Suddenly, Situ Rui raised his right hand and waved it forward gently.
The sound of the horns in the Mingyue Army suddenly became unprecedentedly excited. The war drums that were originally slow also suddenly became rapid. Accompanied by the intense horns and the rapid sound of the war drums, towering siege cars began to slowly move forward under the guidance of countless ropes. Around the siege cars, countless Mingyue Empire troops were like black ant colonies, slowly moving forward.
Time passed quietly in anxious waiting, and the towering Xiling City Wall was already in front of you.
In order not to injure one's own people, the catapults of the Mingyue Empire Army have stopped shooting, and only the catapults in the city are still firing. From time to time, burning fireballs whistling past the sky, and flames bloomed behind the Mingyue Empire Army, but these fireballs can no longer threaten the Mingyue Empire Army that is close to the city wall.
"The First Archery Team is ready..."
"The Second Archery Team is ready..."
"The Third Archery Team is ready..."
A series of loud trumpets resounded across the city. The archers with cold expressions finally stepped onto the city and set up scattered shooting queues along the female wall. Long bows were already full, and sharp wolf-toothed arrows were already on the strings. Accompanied by the command of the officer, the trembling buzzing sound of the bow strings suddenly sounded, and dense arrows poured down from the city.
"Tree Shield!"
"Tree Shield!"
"Tree Shield!"
Under the city, a continuous long sound of whispers suddenly sounded from the Mingyue Empire Army. The next moment, tens of thousands of oars and shields were raised in the air, forming an airtight shield wall above the head of the Mingyue Empire Army. With the endless tick sound, the rain of arrows pouring down from the city was blocked on the shield wall.
"Strike back!"
