Chapter 68 Hold on for a long time
At noon, the sky was overcast and it was about to rain.
This is undoubtedly a good thing for Dameng Guarding City.
The dark crowd was like clouds in the sky. The earthen city wall was not very high, only two meters high. There was no need for ladders or other siege equipment, as long as the human wall was put up, one could go up.
The forty-five-degree arrow shot up into the sky, overwhelming the sky and falling from the sky like ephedra.
The eighth-rate military general Xu Rong's commanding ability was actually higher than that of Zhuge Liang. When Zhuge Liang ordered the arrow rain to attack, Xu Rong had already ordered the swordsmen and shieldmen to clear the way.
The arrow rain caused almost no damage to the enemy's infantry, and the enemy was still advancing to the city wall in an orderly manner.
Now Zhuge Liang does not dare to entrust the enemy, so he can only rely on the city wall for defense.
Guo Tu looked at the enemy's attack with a serious face, and couldn't help but become more worried. The opponent's on-the-spot command ability was obviously stronger than that of Liao Hua and Xing Daorong.
The strength of the eighth-rate generals should not be underestimated. When Xing Daorong attacked Dameng Town, his on-the-spot planning and troop formation abilities were on par with, or even slightly inferior to, Zhuge Liang.
But Xu Rong was much smarter than Zhuge Liang. The command and application of various forces were very appropriate. Moreover, they did not immediately use arrows to counterattack, but only used sword and shield soldiers to suppress the formation and send the advance infantry to the bottom of the city wall.
As long as you climb the city wall, it will be a unilateral crushing!
After all, their military strength is three times greater than that of Dameng Town. After the city wall is broken, their archers can exert their greatest power. Now he is conserving his strength, not only to ensure the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, but also to ensure that there are sufficient arrows and weapons!
Not simple!
Guo Tu began to worry vaguely. At this juncture, Dameng Suppression had no time to recruit soldiers. He had to wait until tomorrow's recruitment day!
So no matter what, Zhuge Liang must hold on for a long time!
Ning Mengya clenched her fists, looking at the situation on the battlefield, she became nervous for the first time for no reason.
She had never been so nervous in every battle in the past, except for the first battle with the bandits.
But after learning about Zhuge Liang's strength later, she no longer worried.
But this time is clearly different from every previous battle, and Ning Mengya also feels deeply in danger!
The three-party alliance has three times the strength of its own troops. The enemy generals are higher in level than Zhuge Liang, and there are also ninth-rate generals. No matter what the configuration, Ning Mengya is desperate and can't see any hope!
Of course, Zhuge Liang also knew that he had to hold on to this afternoon. As long as it passed midnight, he could immediately let Ning Mengya upgrade the town and barracks to improve his strength!
Not only that, after upgrading the fifth-level barracks, the full capacity of the barracks will be increased, and Ning Mengya can immediately recruit new NPC soldiers to supplement it.
Ning Mengya might as well have enough money now, otherwise Dameng Town would really fall into despair.
What Zhuge Liang can think of, how could the other player not think of it? If the other party can recruit NPCs, so can they!
Therefore, there is no reason to lose this war anyway, unless the other side, the European Emperor, reaches the extreme and recruits eighth-rate generals this time. If this is the case, everyone will be equally matched at best, so they may not lose!
But this probability is too small!
The three players squinted at the battlefield situation and couldn't help but sigh: "General Xu Rong's commanding ability is really strong!"
"The advance soldiers have already arrived at the city. This low city wall will be breached soon!"
The 200 infantry troops ascending the city have arrived under the city wall under the cover of sword and shield bearers.
A hundred people below used their bodies to make ladders, and a hundred people above stepped on their companions to climb to the city.
"Stone!"
Zhuge Liang shouted loudly, and at the same time he kept picking at the soldiers who were trying to land on the city wall with guns.
At this time, he no longer cared about the increase in experience points and skill points on the panel, and waved his weapons vigorously to block all the soldiers who were climbing the city!
Bang bang bang!
The huge stone was thrown downwards desperately, and the rows of soldiers who had just climbed to the top of the city were suddenly hit by the stone with their brains splattered.
However, this group of soldiers is well-trained and not afraid of death at all. After their companions die, someone will immediately take over from below. At the same time, Xu Rong was not idle either. He waved his hands and shouted loudly: "Arrow array to cover!"
Whoosh whoosh!
The overwhelming rain of arrows shot towards the top of the city wall of Dameng Town.
Uh-huh.
The militiamen who were defending the city were in a hurry. They not only had to repel the siege soldiers below, but also defended themselves against the rain of arrows in the sky.
Fortunately, these soldiers under Zhuge Liang are all elite soldiers. They are not afraid of death at all and have a strong will to fight.
They shoulder the responsibility of protecting their homeland! This belief supports them to be brave and not afraid of death!
However, the gap in the number of soldiers is clearly displayed here. As the soldiers of Dameng Town fell one by one, there were fewer and fewer soldiers guarding the city. It looked like the enemy soldiers were about to board the city wall.
Ning Mengya clenched her fists and immediately got off the observation deck.
Guo Tu said nervously: "My lord, what are you doing?"
He was afraid that Ning Mengya would cause trouble, so he quickly followed Ning Mengya.
However, Ning Mengya did not go to the battlefield. She rode a horse to a house in the village.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"People!"
"Our territory is under enemy attack!"
"After the city is broken, we will no longer have a place to live! The home we built will be trampled on, and our people will be enslaved by the other side!"
"If there is anyone who is willing to defend the city, please come out immediately!"
Mobilize all resources in the territory! Although this group of villagers has no fighting ability, they can help the defenders carry stones, transport arrows, etc.!
Tian Si immediately stepped out of the queue and shouted: "Lord! I am willing!"
"Lord, Ji Ba is willing!"
"My lord, Wu Twelve is willing!"
……
"Kill him, kill these enemies!"
More and more villagers shouted indignantly, and immediately, led by Tian Si, they charged towards the city.
Of the more than 400 people, almost no one was a coward, and they all charged towards the city without fear of death!
Guo Tu stared at this scene blankly, his eyes feeling a little red.
I thought it would cause chaos for the guild, but I didn’t expect it...
With everyone united and all people united, this battle... there is hope!
Guo Tu didn't care so much and drove his horse towards the city! The people are all gone. What reason does he, the acting prime minister, have for not participating in the task of defending the city?
"Kill!"
Wang Da held a spear and violently stabbed an enemy soldier who boarded the city!
Seeing more and more soldiers climbing the city wall, Xu Rong, who was on the opposite side of the battlefield, smiled slightly and immediately ordered: "Order the soldiers in the rear to rush to the city gate!"
As long as the soldiers on the city wall open the city gate, the city will be destroyed next. It is only a matter of time.
The next moment, Xu Rong suddenly stopped and said: "Wait!"
The three players were also stunned, staring blankly at the opponent's city, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "How is this possible?"
