On the corner tower, Xiao Hu, who was leaning against the arrow window, had sweat all over his face, with beads of sweat the size of soybeans dripping down his chin to the ground. He had already drawn the bow and aimed the arrow outside through the window.

The noise outside the window made his heart almost jump out.

The sound of shouting and killing like a tsunami was endless, coming from outside the sheep and horse wall. It was the roar of the enemy army. The air was filled with a large amount of gunpowder smoke, and the pungent smell kept pouring into the nose. Xiao Hu swallowed his saliva and endured the discomfort in his chest.

From this angle, it seemed that all the people in Yangma City had been evacuated, and most of the battlements were destroyed. There was no movement from the thousand-pound gate embedded in the Yangma wall, but Xiao Hu guessed that the enemy would use battering rams to ram it.

"As long as they show their heads, they will be eaten by my arrows!" Xiao Hu gritted his teeth and cursed viciously in his heart.

Just as he was concentrating on watching the movement below, a quick warning sounded behind him:

"coming!"

"Up there!" Brother Zhang shouted, his face becoming unprecedentedly serious.

Almost at the same time, the archers, musketeers, and artillerymen in the outer city tower and the corner tower all set their eyes on the sheep and horse wall.

I saw that on the Sheep and Horse Wall, which had been bombarded by artillery for an hour or two, there were still scattered torches burning in the dilapidated city walls. In the dim firelight, several large figures leaped in. They were the Yan soldiers who climbed up using ladders!

"Kill them!!!"

Furious roars suddenly rang out from the Qian soldiers guarding Nan Ze. Amid the roars, they launched a fierce attack on the Yan soldiers who had climbed over!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The thick crossbow arrows were shot out from the crossbows on the outer city wall tower. The sharp large crossbow arrows made a dull explosion sound under the action of several bowstrings, and then shot towards the sheep and horse wall with a whistling sound!

The musketeers on the outer tower hid behind the arrow windows and shot lead bullets from the narrow windows. In the depression in the middle of the battlements, the archers held their breath, aimed at the bodies of the Yan soldiers, and shot arrows one after another!

The soldiers in the two corner towers also began shooting.

The moon gradually rose, and the pale moonlight poured down like water, spreading over the city wall that was flickering with flames. The Yan soldiers who had climbed over immediately lay prone on the ground, and the shooting from the opposite side made it almost impossible for them to get up.

But immediately afterwards, they took out the shields on their backs and set them up in front of them.

"Bang bang bang!"

Amid a series of loud noises, several Yan soldiers carrying shields flew backwards and crashed into the city wall behind them. The heavy arrows from the crossbows were too heavy and could not be blocked even with shields.

On the opposite city wall, the Qian soldiers were trembling with excitement. After being passively beaten for so long, they could finally vent their anger. It was really refreshing.

Without any urging from their superiors, they quickly loaded arrows and shot them. But in just a moment, a large group of Yan soldiers appeared on the Yangma Wall. Outside the Yangma Wall, as the army followed, more and more ladders were put up on the city walls. Within a few hundred meters, the city walls were almost covered with densely packed Yan soldiers!

The Yan soldiers who had already climbed over did not just defend themselves against the enemy's shooting. After putting up their shields, they immediately took out small firearms such as the bird guns and three-barreled guns at their waists and began to shoot back!

At this moment, in the front army located on the outer city tower, General Jin Teng from the Shenji Camp saw that there were more and more Yan soldiers on the Sheep and Horse Wall. Not only were there a lot of them, but they were also spreading out, breaking through the front and leaping to both sides of the Sheep and Horse Wall, as if they were relying on the Sheep and Horse Wall to fight.

But more and more people just let the Shenjiying play a role. Immediately, he raised his arms and shouted:

"Come on! Let them have a taste of our artillery too!"

"Aim for crowded places and blast them for me!!!"

The reason why they did not open fire with artillery as soon as the Yanbing climbed over the Yangma Wall was because the artillery of the Shenji Camp was extremely precious. One third of them had been lost in the previous battle of Datong. In the current battle to defend Nan Ze, every artillery piece and every shell must be used to the maximum extent possible.

After all, this thing is not like a bow and arrow. If you lose a shell, there is no way to replenish it immediately.

When there are more people, the shells fired into them will naturally have a greater effect and cause greater casualties, just like now!

Under Jin Teng's command, the gunners ignited the fuses of the cannons that had already been aimed at the Yangma Wall, and a large amount of gunpowder smoke rose up -

"Boom boom boom!"

A deafening explosion suddenly rang out, and dozens of artillery pieces fired shells, which fell directly into the Sheep and Horse Wall!

moment!

Waves of blood mist erupted on the horse path, the shields were directly shot through and broken, and the bodies of the Yan soldiers were easily destroyed like cotton wool under the artillery fire!

"Hahahaha! Great! Our artillery is no worse than theirs!" Jin Teng waved his fist excitedly. These few shots made him proud, and his face was flushed at the moment.

"Come on! Keep firing!"

"Aim carefully, and attack where there are many of them!"

"If you want to defeat Nan Ze, I want to see how many casualties you can bear!"

Amidst the laughter, a deafening "boom" suddenly rang out!

The roar made Jin Teng tremble all over. It was not the sound of artillery fire from his own side, but from under the city!

He looked up and saw that the Yangma City Gate was now filled with thick smoke, with a large amount of dust covering the sky, and bricks and stones scattered everywhere.

Amid the thick smoke, deafening shouts of killing rang out.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

"Boom!"

Immediately afterwards, in front of everyone's shocked gaze, a chariot covered in iron armor suddenly emerged from the thick smoke!

Jin Teng's pupils shrank and a few drops of cold sweat oozed out of his forehead. He never expected that the rebels could break through the city gate so quickly. Logically speaking, if they kept climbing over the Sheep and Horse Wall to fight, they would continue to cause casualties to them.

The city gate was breached, which meant that they would face two attacks from the rebels above and below. However, there was no time to think about it. Jin Teng shouted angrily:

"Aim at the city gate and boom!"

But the Yan soldiers who came in at this moment were all in the carts. Relying on the solid carts, even if those shells hit them, it would be difficult to destroy them immediately.

Compared to the huge stone that fell from the sky with great force and power, the armor-piercing power of the shells fired from the boring barrel of a small caliber was not that strong, and it was not just one cart that entered the city gate!

The first chariots that arrived had already begun to form a formation, and the subsequent chariots followed closely and joined in. The Yan soldiers spread out the wooden curtains prepared on the chariots, gradually forming an iron wall, and the offensive on the sheep and horse wall became more and more fierce at this time.
