Chapter 26: Invasion of Qingping County
"Hey~!".
A shout.
Dozens of new soldiers, carrying a huge round log that was more than ten meters long, slammed it hard against the wooden door under the city wall.
"boom!!"
There was a loud bang, the wooden door creaked, and the city walls seemed to shake.
The giant tree, which was more than ten meters long, retreated dozens of meters and then slammed heavily into the wooden gate of the city wall.
"boom!!".
The noise became more violent, with the sound of wood creaking and even breaking.
The giant tree was about to retreat a few steps. At this moment, a majestic shout came from the city wall:
"Shoot!!".
This is the order.
Dozens of people holding bows stood on the city wall and shot arrows in unison.
"Phew~!"
"Phew~!"
"Phew~!"
Dense array of arrows with cold light shot towards the huge tree that was hitting the city gate like the breath of a silver dragon.
“Bang~!”
“Bang~!”
“Bang~!”
Many arrows hit the logs and sank into them.
Many more were shot at the skinny soldiers carrying the logs.
The sound of a sharp weapon entering flesh and even bones could be heard.
Accompanied by screams, many soldiers hiding under the giant trees fell down, rolled on the ground and struggled.
Afterwards, he was shot by more arrows and turned into a hedgehog.
The huge tree was tilted, and there were many soldiers who, even after being hit by arrows, were still gritting their teeth and holding on to the huge tree.
If he exposed his body even slightly, he would be turned into a hedgehog by the arrows and would have no chance of survival.
At this time, Zhao Hu, who was standing in the distance watching the battle, waved his hand, and dozens of soldiers went to the front of the team and rushed towards the direction of the siege timber under the city gate.
Lu Yuan was among them.
He carried a long spear on his back and dodged the arrows shot from a long distance away.
Run towards the huge siege tree.
He was mentally prepared.
These small soldiers are responsible for charging into battle.
If they didn't need to do something so dangerous, why would Zhao Hu give them weight-bearing training?
Why would he be so kind to share the best meat with people like them?
Isn't it all about risking your life at this moment?
Therefore, he never felt any gratitude towards Zhao Hu and those personal soldiers who were hiding behind him.
For many people, this wave is tantamount to suicide.
However, he has a long way to go, but he must survive!
Survive and kill those who use them!!
Thinking of this, he dodged the flying arrows, ran to the bottom of the huge tree, picked up the huge tree, and together with the new soldiers around him, charged forward fiercely under the dense rain of arrows.
"boom!!".
This time, the impact of the giant tree caused the wooden door of the city wall to collapse inward.
There was a sound of wood breaking.
Lu Yuan and others once again carried the huge tree and retreated more than ten steps.
An even denser rain of arrows fell.
“Bang~!”
“Bang~!”
“Bang~!”
The arrow hit the huge tree.
Many of them also hit the legs of the new soldiers hiding behind.
There were screams and many pawns were knocked sideways by the arrows and fell to the ground.
If the giant tree loses its balance, it will collapse.
Lu Yuan and the pawns who were not injured or slightly injured gritted their teeth and tried their best to straighten the huge tree that was about to lose balance.
They all knew that if they lost the protection of the giant tree, few of them would survive a hail of arrows.
Therefore, we must hold on and wait for the new recruits to take over.
Round after round of arrows rained down.
Dozens of emaciated corpses were lying on the ground, and many others were shot by arrows and groaned on the ground, unable to get up.
Another wave of recruits rushed in from the rear.
Facing a hail of arrows and after losing nearly a third of their men, they rushed to the giant tree, took over the slightly tilted tree, and with unified shouts, they held the tree high and fiercely slammed it towards the wooden door in front of them.
"boom!!".
There was an even louder noise.
The wooden door was dented by the impact, and the wood broke and stabbed inwards.
Rounds of arrows rained down.
Wave after wave of new recruits took over.
"boom!!".
"boom!!".
"boom!!".
The city gate was hit several times by the huge tree.
at last.
"Boom!!!"
Collapsed suddenly.
At the moment the giant tree collapsed.
Behind him was Zhao Hu, leading the soldiers.
At the same time, deafening shouts of killing rang out inside the city.
Lu Yuan and others put down the huge tree, took out the spears in their hands, and stabbed forward fiercely to stop the soldiers rushing out.
But those soldiers almost all held rattan shields and bronze shields, and their weapons stabbed and chopped on the shields, making it difficult to hurt the enemy.
You can only fight and retreat at the same time.
Behind him, Zhao Hu, wearing heavy iron armor, wielding a thick tiger-head machete, holding an iron shield, and leading a group of well-equipped chain mail soldiers, rushed towards the city gate.
There were only a few hundred soldiers gathered inside the city wall, and there was no way they could withstand the attack of Zhao Hu's well-equipped personal soldiers.
Amid the sounds of shouting and killing.
More than a thousand soldiers of the Tianxing Army rushed into the county town, chasing after the officers and soldiers and killing them.
Many of them climbed up the city wall and attacked the archers above.
The entire Qingping County was filled with the sounds of killing.
All the houses were startled by the sound of the city being broken and lit up their oil lamps. Many houses began to panic.
Zhao Hu and his men, as well as a group of sergeants such as Zhao Zheng and sergeants such as Zhang Yannian, were equipped with sophisticated weapons and holding shields, hacking and killing their way towards the county government office.
They stayed in the mountains of Qingping County for so many days.
They had already found out the situation in Qingping County.
He knew everything about where there was food, where there were weapons, where elite soldiers gathered, and which families were rich.
They knew that at this time almost all the wealthy families in the county town had gathered at the county government office to seek refuge.
As long as we can capture that place, Qingping County will be conquered!
Moreover, not all the elite troops were gathered at the county government office.
The county town and every place need to be guarded.
Many places where weapons and food are stored cannot be left unattended.
They gathered all their personal soldiers and charged towards the county government office.
Other places have already been assigned to the pawns.
Every pawn has a mission.
The assigned areas must be captured.
If we cannot complete the mission and get no military merit, then even if we capture the county.
It was not their turn to distribute food.
At this time, Lu Yuan, holding a spear, was heading towards a wooden pavilion with three soldiers, who were his team members.
This was the task Zhao Zheng assigned to their team.
Lu Yuan clenched the spear in his hand.
This mission must be completed.
He needs this military achievement and needs to get food.
Even if he knew that Zhao Zheng was personally arranging the situation, the place he was going to attack would probably not be that simple.
However, he had no choice.
Pay attention to every movement around you and slowly move towards the target gate.
