Stand-in eunuch: I pamper the harem for the emperor

Chapter 420: Defending the City
bang bang bang...

The huge boulder fell on the city wall and opened a large crater, with blazing flames rolling towards the back like a fireball.

The soldiers hit by the boulder were instantly turned into meat patties. The tumbling boulder continued to roll backwards, killing and injuring many soldiers.

Many boulders crossed the city wall and hit the houses behind. They collapsed immediately, igniting the houses and setting off a raging fire.

Fortunately, in order to defend against the enemy's attack, General Sun had ordered these residents to retreat to the center of the city.

"Trebuchet ready! Free fire!"

The second round of trebuchets showed its power again, and the burning boulders roared in.

"Crossbow ready! Fire a volley!"

Another order.

Whoosh...

Countless crossbow arrows pierced the sky, with a powerful sound of piercing the sky, and shot hard at the soldiers on the city wall.

Pooh!Pooh...

All the crossbow arrows were shot into the stones on the city wall, and many soldiers were nailed to the ground alive. There was also a crossbow arrow that shot through several soldiers at once.

The powerful lethality caused heavy casualties to the soldiers defending the city. General Sun had been giving orders to avoid defense, but this kind of covering blow was simply unavoidable.

Even the largest tower shield couldn't withstand the shooting of such a bed crossbow. It was directly knocked out and knocked down a large area.

The trebuchets and heavy crossbows that had just arrived from the Eastern Turks launched a devastating blow to this ancient city.

"Prepare the ladder! Attack the city!"

Another order.

The warriors of the Eastern Turks rushed to the city wall carrying the ladder, which was erected high up. Many soldiers climbed up along the ladder.

"Archers prepare! A volley!"

General Sun gave a loud order.

Whoosh...

Arrows were pouring down from the sky, and many Turkic warriors were shot into hedgehogs. The Turkic soldiers who rushed to the corner received fatal blows.

However, these Turkic warriors were truly worthy of being warriors, and the soldiers behind them pounced on them again.

At the same time, the Turkic archers and shield bearers also came up. The archers counterattacked and the shield bearers defended.

The two sides began a close-range bow and arrow attack, and the number of casualties continued to rise. The top of the city wall became the focus of the battle.

"Form up! The enemy is coming! Let me, General, defeat them!"

General Sun roared fiercely and took the lead in attacking the enemy.

On the city wall, soldiers from both sides fought bloody battles, becoming a meat grinder.

At the gate of the south city, King Yu heard that the north had begun to attack, so he also pretended to let people beat drums to attack the city.

However, he would not let his soldiers die, but would use archers to harass the defenders on the city wall.

After all, they didn't even have large siege equipment, so how could they attack the city?At most, it only attracts a few soldiers guarding the city.

The most tragic one was the North Gate, but with General Sun leading the soldiers in a bloody battle, they could barely block the enemy's offensive.

"Send the order! Let General Haba go up for reinforcements!"

Juli Khan sent his brothers.

This is an elite division that uses meteor hammers. General Haba is a brave man, as strong as an ox, and is one of the fierce generals under Khan.

General Sun on the city wall was covered in blood. Seeing that the enemy's reserve team was about to appear, he immediately issued an order.

"General Peng, notify the third reserve team for reinforcements! Remove the injured soldiers!"

General Sun was also sympathetic to the soldiers.

In this war, he invested 5000 soldiers for the first time and organized three reserve teams, each with [-] people.

The remaining 5000 people defended the south gate, fearing that King Yu would really attack the city.

Before, he had sent the first and second reserve teams up, and suppressed the Turkic warriors alive.Now that both sides have reached the final decisive stage, whether they can hold on depends on the last 5000 people.

In front of him, his army suffered numerous casualties, but it also dealt a heavy blow to the Turks. General Sun felt that even if he died in battle, it was worth it.

"Soldiers, those behind us are the subjects of the Great Yan Empire and our family members. The Turks want to break through Gissen City and bloodbath our homeland. Do you agree?"

General Sun asked loudly.

The soldiers of the last reserve team had just arrived. Seeing the densely packed corpses above, their blood suddenly surged.

"I don't agree! I don't agree..."

The soldiers roared in unison.

"Sirs, when we meet on a narrow road, the brave will win! Today, I will join you all to fight to the death with the Turks. Even if we fight to the death, we will never retreat! We will never retreat!"

General Sun shouted loudly.

"Never retreat! Never retreat..."

The soldiers shouted in unison.

"Kill! Kill!"

General Sun roared and killed the enemies who rushed up the city wall.

"Kill! Kill! Kill..."

All the soldiers followed his footsteps and killed the enemy.

Soldiers from both sides collided fiercely on the city wall, and a more brutal battle broke out.

Countless soldiers fell, and countless more soldiers came to replace them, suppressing the Turks forcefully.

"General Peng sent an order to the south gate, leaving 1000 men behind, and all the remaining soldiers to support the north gate."

General Sun gave the order to his lieutenant.

"General, go and mobilize your troops immediately!"

General Peng Shen took the order and left.

Once the army at the south gate is withdrawn, how can the remaining 1000 people block King Yu's attack?

Fortunately, King Yu was as cunning as a fox and didn't really attack, just pretending.

Juli Khan had long known that Gissen City had only 3 people and was isolated and helpless, so he just waited quietly.

I just want to wait for this meat grinder to finish grinding [-] soldiers, so that I can take over the city.

General Li, who is stationed in Heisen City in the north, has learned that Juli Khan is attacking Gissen City. However, according to his agreement with General Sun, he will defend the city regardless of whether the other party is attacked.

Because once he leaves the city and is ambushed, both cities will be lost. At that time, the Turks will march straight in and sweep across the Qandong Plain.

Behind them was the fertile plain of the Great Yan Empire, where the empire's subjects were most concentrated.

Once the Turks move south, these places will be littered with corpses and devastated. Therefore, they must defend their cities and wait for reinforcements.

General Peng Shen brought the last four thousand soldiers and entered the final battle.

"General Peng, I order you to lead 100 people to kill from the west gate, bring the news here back to the imperial capital, and ask for reinforcements."

General Sun issued the order.

"General, let the messenger return to the imperial capital to deliver the message. The general is willing to fight Gissen City to the death with the general and live or die with Gissen City!"

General Peng Shen is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death.

"Hahaha... Okay! Okay! Okay! If I can sacrifice my life for the country with my brothers, I will have no regrets in this life!"

General Sun laughed wildly.

At this time, there was a strong vibration on the ground, and a rumbling sound was heard in the distance.

The first main force led by Lu Hao had already seen Gissen City from a distance, and also saw Murong Yu's banner.
