Chapter 316: Guarding the City
On the same day.
Jin Huanshan had no time to attack, so Wei Ru and Liu Wu chose to be patient and did not attack, so both sides lived in peace.
But this is the last peace and quiet.
The mountain rain is about to come, the wind is filling the building. People are murderous, and the world is turned upside down.
That night.
Wei Ru slept in the north city gate tower, with elite soldiers and militia mixed in. The city walls were guarded and patrolled very tightly, leaving no opportunity for the Mongolians to take advantage of.
Wei Ru tossed and turned on the bed, still unable to fall asleep. The oil lamp next to him was dim, like a waning candle that could be blown out in one breath.
Two of Wei Ru's personal maids stood aside. There were also some maids who had already gone to bed.
"Miss, are you nervous?" an older maid couldn't help but ask.
"No. I thought of my father." Wei Ru finally stopped struggling and no longer wanted to sleep. He sat up and raised his head as he answered.
She had a thin face, her beautiful big eyes were bloodshot, her little hands were holding the quilt tightly, and her body was trembling, which made people feel distressed.
The maid fell silent, her eyes slightly red.
A battle last year.
Wei Changqing was loyal to the country and lived and died with the city. They were the maidservants of the Wei family. There were also fathers and brothers serving as soldiers under Wei Changqing. The city was destroyed.
They followed the young lady southward and arrived at Beishan Fort.
Today, the Wei family is no longer a general, but an evil ghost pursuing blood feud.
"Wear armor for me." Wei Ru took a long breath, lifted the quilt and stood up, spreading his arms with a fierce momentum.
"Yes." The two maids responded and called the other maids who were sleeping. They picked up the heavy armor and put it on Wei Ru one by one.
After being dressed neatly, Wei Ru placed his left hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist and walked out of the city gate tower, inspected the city walls, and interacted with elite soldiers and militiamen.
"Everyone, brace yourself. If we let down our guard and the Meng Yuan people make a sneak attack, the city will be destroyed. Our family members will be massacred by evil spirits."
"Everyone is watching with their eyes wide open and listening with their ears pricked up. No one can relax before the shift is over."
Wei Ru led a group of soldiers and walked on the city wall, staring at the elite soldiers and militia over and over again to strengthen their vigilance.
After inspecting the city wall, she returned to the city gate tower and sat there for a long time until dawn.
"Oh oh oh!!!" The rooster crowed, and Wei Ru opened her eyes. Although they were still full of bloodshot eyes, she was in great spirits.
At this moment, several maidservants walked in from outside the city gate tower, holding a food box in their hands, which was today's breakfast.
Wei Ru finished his breakfast like a storm, wiped his red lips with his little hand, pressed the handle of the knife and walked out of the city gate tower.
The fish belly turned white in the east, and it was daybreak. The soldiers who had breakfast went up to the city wall, each manned his post, and stood ready.
There are stones, wood, arrows and other defensive equipment everywhere on the city wall.
north.
There was also movement in the Meng Yuan camp.
"Dong dong dong!!!!" As the drums vibrated, the gate of the Meng Yuan camp opened. Jin Huanshan walked out on horseback holding a long-handled sword, followed closely by the Meng Yuan soldiers, pushing a ladder cart.
Well trucks, wooden curtain trucks and other siege equipment came out.
"Divide into four teams. Each team has three centurions. Take turns to attack the city. The remaining centurion will put the troops on guard."
"Send the order. Even if there is a mountain of knives and a sea of fire ahead, you will still fly to the flames. Because I am supervising the battle from the rear. Anyone who dares to stand still will be killed without mercy."
Jin Huanshan is usually gentle and gentle, but when he picks up his sword and mounts his horse, he becomes the fierce Meng Yuan Wanhu General, a murderer who kills people without blinking an eye.
His fierce glare is enough to make even a timid person feel terrified.
He personally supervising the formation to attack the city, and commanding it remotely are completely different things.
"Yes." The soldier who was responsible for delivering the order was trembling with fear and fear. After shouting yes, he quickly conveyed Jin Huanshan's order.
The centurions and the soldiers they led accepted the order calmly without any disturbance.
The Mongol and Yuan Empire was born during the war.
It is completely normal to use human lives to fill up a city.
Moreover, there are tens of thousands of generals and generals who will not dare not fight.
"Kill!!!!" The three Mongolian centurions who were selected to serve as the first wave of attack all pulled out the steel knives from their waists and led their elite soldiers to push the wooden curtain cart, ladder cart, and well cart.
, attack the city personally.
There are archers standing on the well cart, behind the wooden curtain cart are hidden the soldiers preparing to board the city, and the ladder cart is responsible for building ladders. The powerful heavy siege equipment poses an extremely huge threat to the city wall.
The well truck, which was flush with the city wall, took the lead in launching the attack.
“Dong dong dong!!!”
“Whoosh whoosh!!!”
The Meng Yuan archers released their bow strings one after another, and shot out pitch-black arrows amidst the crisp vibrations of the bow strings.
For a moment, arrows rained down.
The elite soldiers and militiamen of Beishan Fort on the city wall were also not vegetarians, and they bent their bows to fight back.
"Pfft, pfft."
"Ahhhh!!!"
The soldiers on both sides were either killed directly or fell to the ground and screamed amidst the constant screams.
The blood blooms like a flower, and the corpse becomes the flower's nourishment.
Wei Ru was holding a big black bow, his eyes were as bright as stars, and with the body of a weak woman, he bent the bow and shot the eagle.
“Dong dong dong!!!”
"Pfft!!! Pfft!"
"Ahhh!"
Her archery skills were not as good as Wu Nian's, but they were not bad either. With a series of powerful bows, she quickly killed some Mongolian archers, but also attracted the attention of many Mongolian archers.
So much so that she became the target of public criticism and had to retreat to a safe place under the protection of shield soldiers.
Amidst the exchange of arrows from both sides, the wooden curtain carts and ladder carts of the Meng Yuan soldiers moved forward resolutely, and finally reached near the base of the wall.
"Click, click." The Meng Yuan soldiers controlled the mechanism of the ladder truck and set up the ladder on the city wall.
"Bang bang bang!!!"
"Ahhhh!!!"
The warriors of Beishan Fort lifted stones one by one, leaned out of the city wall, and threw them downwards, killing the Mongolian soldiers who controlled the mechanism.
However, the Mongolian and Yuan soldiers fought one after another and finally put the ladder up on the city wall after suffering heavy casualties.
The specially-made ladder truck is not afraid of fire, cannot be moved, and is not afraid of being smashed.
"Kill!!!!!" The Meng Yuan warriors hiding behind the wooden curtain carts on both sides rushed out with a roar, climbed the ladder cart, and rushed towards the city wall.
"Try not to let them climb the city wall. The spearmen are ready. If they come up, they will be stabbed to death with their spears. Don't engage in close combat with the Mongolian and Yuan soldiers. We are not opponents."
Wei Ru did not have much combat experience, but she was born in a general of the Wei family, and Wei Changqing taught her a lot of experience. She defended herself with a steel knife, while calmly giving orders and organizing soldiers to resist.
"kill!!!!"
The warriors kept throwing stones, and some archers separated and shot arrows at the Mongolian soldiers climbing the ladder. For a moment, it was like stars falling.
Many Mongolian soldiers fell from the ladders and fell heavily to the ground. Some suffered brain fractures or were seriously injured and paralyzed.
