Chapter 108: The Eve of the Decisive Battle

Xu Huang stood on the top of the city with red eyes, and his tall figure was a little lost. Looking at the dark Xianbei army in front of him, his mood was even more heavy. This was the fifth time the Xianbei people siege the city today, and the scale this time was larger than any previous one.

The Xianbei people have been crazy for the past two days, taking turns to attack day and night. Xu Huang and Zhang Su did not close their eyes all night and took turns to fight. After one day, the whole body was thinner. In the less than two days and one night, the head of Sanshui County alone had killed tens of thousands of new troops, and many soldiers were injured. Now there are less than 5,000 soldiers who can fight in Sanshui County, and they are all exhausted, relying on their tenacious will to persevere!

What's even more serious is that the already low and old city wall has had many cracks under the bombardment of the Xianbei siege crossbows. Xu Huang doesn't know how long they can last, but I hope the lord can return in time. Xu Huang is eagerly looking forward to Huangfu Jian leading his army to return sooner than ever.

"Woo, woo, woo..." The horn of the Xianbei attack sounded again.

"Ho, ho, ho..." The black Xianbei people rushed towards the city like wild beasts.

In the blink of an eye, the city wall was covered with simple wooden ladders made by the Xianbei people, densely packed. The Xianbei people were climbing up one by one, and they were getting closer and closer to the head of the city.

The Xianbei Iron Cavalry was afraid of hurting their own people, so they stopped scattering. Only the two tall well railings were facing high and still shooting arrows at the top of the city. The dense rain of arrows disappeared, but the sharp arrows shot from the well railings were still quite lethal, and people were injured from time to time.

"Boom..." The Xianbei people's siege crossbows also began to shoot, and giant spear-like crossbow arrows rushed towards the loosening of the city wall, making a sound that shook the sky and the earth.

The broken city wall is moaning and trembling! It is possible to collapse again at any time!

"There must be destroyed which siege crossbows of these two well railings, otherwise the city will not be able to defend it. It seems that it has to use its last killer move. Although the lord repeatedly cannot explain that it cannot be used at the last moment, now Sanshui County is at the time of life and death!" Xu Huang thought in his mind and decided to use the last ace in his hand - the Equipment Camp.

The instrument camp is a secret weapon in Huangfu Jian's hand. At this stage, it is mainly equipped with large-scale killing weapons such as catapults, three-shot wolf crossbows, siege crossbows and other large-scale killing weapons. This time, a total of 1,000 instrument soldiers sent to the Sanshui front line, brought fifty three-shot wolf crossbows and fifty siege crossbows. The catapult is a super-era weapon. Huangfu Jian didn't want it to be born so early, so he was not transferred.

Fifty three wolf crossbows, fifty three-siege crossbows, Zuogu and Youpingshan each assigned ten three-siege crossbows, ten siege crossbows, and the rest were concentrated here. This was the last method left to them by Huangfu Jian. Huangfu Jian originally planned to use these weapons in the decisive battle, and caught the Xianbei Iron Cavalry off guard, but now Xu Huang is unimaginable, so he has to use them in advance!

"The equipment camp is coming to the city!" Xu Huang ordered the commander in a deep voice.

"Shoot!" Xu Huang waved a big axe in his hand, and the soldiers guarding the city poured rain of arrows to the climbing Xianbei people. There were too many Xianbei people, and they could hit the target even with their eyes closed. For a while, the sound of ghosts and howlings continued, but many Xianbei people still climbed onto the top of the city.

"Popular oil!" The hand-to-hand combat had begun at the top of the city. Xu Huang ordered the soldiers guarding the city to pour a pot of boiled hot oil towards the Xianbei people below.

The screams of "Ah! Ah!" were terrifying, and many Xianbei people were covered in their heads and howled with their heads in their faces.

"Set the rocket!" As Xu Huang ordered one after another, rockets sprayed flames shot towards the Xianbei people under the city. The Xianbei people who had just poured hot oil were now in trouble and soon became firemen and danced in the flames.

"General Xu Huang, if you deal with the Xianbei people under the city, leave the city to me." At this moment, General Zhang Su also brought a team of troops to the top of the city and rushed towards the Xianbei people who climbed up the city.

"Kill! Kill these Xianbei pigs!" Zhang Su waved the spear in his hand and shouted and rushed towards the Xianbei soldiers. As the spear pointed, the Xianbei soldiers fell under his gun.

Under the fierce fighting of Zhang Zuo's troops, the Xianbei people who climbed up the city were killed in a short time.

"General Xu, the instrument camp is ordered to report!" A man of big and thick came to Xu Huang and said loudly.

"You are here just in time. I saw the two well railings and a few siege crossbows below. Kill them for me!" Xu Huang pointed to the battle at the top of the city, pointing to the Xianbei people under the city's well railings and siege crossbows and said to the stout man.

"Abide by the order! Keep the general to satisfy the general!" The man waved his hand and made huge city-guarding crossbows, and three wolf crossbows were pushed to the top of the city.

"See? The general has an order to attack those two well railings and those siege crossbows! Our equipment camp will make its debut. Let me show you the tricks and don't let other brothers laugh at me!"

"No problem! Look at us!" The soldiers of the equipment camp agreed readily, and skillfully pushed their equipment to the appropriate position in the direction they pointed out, calibrating one by one, and giant crossbow arrows like spears mounted on thick crossbow strings.

The crossbow arrows of the three wolf crossbows are slightly thinner and shorter, but they are three times larger than the six-stone strong crossbow arrows. The siege crossbow is more cleverer than the Han guard city crossbow snatched from Lingzhou Pass by the Xianbei people under the city. The three wolf crossbows are three giant crossbows stacked together, and the three crossbows are launched at the same time.

"Cum!" Seeing that everything was ready, the big and thick man gave an order.

"Swoosh..." A cold sound came out, and dozens of large crossbow arrows roared towards the two well railings and several siege crossbows.

"Boom..." Thousands of sounds came out one after another.

After the sound, two tall well railings fell down, and several Xianbei siege crossbows were even bombarded into pieces.

"Oh!" The soldiers on the city wall cheered excitedly.

This sudden change made the Xianbei king and Lian, who were supervising the battle behind, frightened the Western Xianbei people, and said in shock: "What is that, what is the most powerful?"

The Xianbei king and Lian changed color one after another. He had never heard of such powerful equipment. With such a powerful weapon, the city would be difficult to attack! He couldn't help but worry about his plan. Scheme was a good plan and a good plan, but at this moment, the Xianbei king had no confidence at all! He even regretted the plan to go south planned by him!

"My father-in-law, what do you think?" He Lian adjusted his uneasy mood a little, looked at the Western Xianbei man standing beside him, and asked.

"Fight! Taking advantage of the absence of the main force of the Han army, we will do our best to win Sanshui City. This is our only chance! We have no way out!" The Xianbei man from the west sighed and said fiercely.

"Okay! Then let's attack the city with all your might!" He Lian nodded silently.

Yes! They have no way out. It’s too late to regret it now. Only by breaking the small town in front of them is the only way out!

The Xianbei king and the Lian, the Xianbei people in the west, decided to set up a larger attack, and a larger-scale attack began! Not only Sanshui County, Zuogu and Youpingshan, two large villages were also attacked unprecedentedly!

Time passed by bit by bit, and the night had already arrived!

The war on the Sanshui Front did not subside because of the arrival of night, but became even more violent. Countless torches illuminated this area like daytime, and you could see the fire that soared into the sky from afar. The shouts of killing moved across the world, and from afar, the world changed color!

The night became deeper and deeper, and the battle situation became more and more intense! One side was defending the death, and the other side was attacking the death! The Xianbei people attacked the city several times and were beaten down several times.

Xu Huang and Zhang Su looked at the more and more Xianbei people, and then looked at the fewer and fewer soldiers on the top of the city, and their hearts became heavier. If this continues, the city will probably be unable to be kept!

Just as both sides fought to the death, a huge army was getting closer and closer to the Sanshui front line! They could even hear the sound of horse hooves rumbled.
