Chapter 378: Collaborate with Dian Wei's Troops to Attack the City

The Qinglong City Lord's Mansion covers a very large area. If it were in the ancient times, it would be like a small city.

It was dark at night, and a huge torch was burning every ten meters on the wall of the mansion, illuminating the entire wall as if it were daytime.

These torches were made of very sophisticated materials, and they burned with a slight "sizzling" sound.

Next to the torches, some soldiers guarding the city with a little fatigue on their faces, wearing armor and iron helmets, leaning against the side with weapons in hand, dozing off, slowly recovering their consumed physical strength and spirit.

At the same time, they did not relax their vigilance at all. As soon as there was a slight disturbance, they could wake up instantly and deal with unexpected situations.

In front of them, some comrades had sharp eyes and patrolled and stood guard with full energy.

The enemies outside the mansion were like jackals in the dark, hiding their sharp teeth, waving their claws, and ready to tear the prey in front of them at any time!

They must always be cautious and vigilant, and cannot make any mistakes!

"Captain Huang! Captain Huang... wake up, it's your turn to be on duty!" A captain held a weapon, looked around, turned to the torch, and gently shook another captain.

Captain Huang suddenly opened his eyes after being gently shaken. After finding that it was the captain of the next team, he relaxed a little, stretched his waist, and said lazily: "Oh, have two hours passed? Oh... it's really fast!"

"It's still fast. The brothers in my team have been concentrating for two hours. Everyone is already quite tired. It's time for us to take a nap. Hehe... In this area, it's your turn to stand guard in the second half of the night!"

"..."

"Okay, after a rest, you should be in good spirits. Sandanzi, Huzi... get up, it's our turn to stand guard!" Captain Huang wiped his face, woke up a little, and then got up to wake up the teammates who were resting with their eyes closed next to him to perform their work.

However, when Captain Huang woke up half of his men, he trembled slightly and felt something was wrong.

No, it wasn't his body that was trembling, but the ground, the ground of the city wall that was trembling slightly. Captain Huang looked at the dark street opposite as if he had sensed something, as if he saw a tsunami-like wave rolling in, surging and murderous!

The enemy is attacking the palace! Captain Huang trembled slightly, shuddered, and then turned his head and shouted: "Enemy attack, drums and prepare for battle! Enemy attack, drums and prepare for battle! Enemy attack, drums and prepare for battle!~~"

Important things should be said three times, Captain Huang opened his throat and roared, and he was a little hoarse at the last roar!

Sure enough, not long after, dense torches suddenly appeared in the dark street, as dazzling as stars in the sky.

Suddenly, a series of low drum beats sounded on the city wall, with a strange sense of rhythm. After hearing the drums, the guards' faces, which looked quite tired, showed a tense look.

The enemy began to charge!

On the city wall, with the drums, a chaotic sound resounded in the world, and the guards were ready for a bloody battle!

The city wall was tense!

On the opposite street, the sound of footsteps and horse hooves mixed together, making the whole ground tremble slightly, and they could clearly feel the trembling of the ground even though they were hundreds of meters away.

The Beifu City Wall is connected to four streets. Countless enemies poured out from these four streets. They might gather in a continuous group a hundred meters in front of the city wall, and charge forward with great momentum!

The guards stood on the ten-meter-high city wall, looking at the enemy attacking, holding their weapons tightly, and staring at the torches that were quite conspicuous in the dark night. Some soldiers, unconsciously, had traces of sweat on their faces, showing their nervousness.

From their perspective, those conspicuous torches, like dense ants, gathered into a wave and rolled towards them.

"Archers, get ready. When the enemy runs out of the four streets and begins to gather into a group a hundred meters away, shoot hard. No need to save arrows. Shoot as much as you can. As long as you can move, take your weapons and kill the enemy!"

"This time, it is the last battle of our Nanzhao Kingdom. If we defeat the enemy, we can return home in glory and bring honor to our ancestors! If we fail, we can only bury our bones here! Do you have the confidence to defeat the enemy?" A loud voice echoed over the Beifu wall.

The soldiers on the Beifu wall basically heard it. After hearing the words of the commander, many soldiers were slightly startled, and then burst into a shocking roar, as if they were injected with chicken blood.

"Have confidence!"

"Okay! Shout with me: I am invincible! I am invincible! I am invincible!" This commander was very good at encouraging morale. Some timid soldiers, under the encouragement, began to put aside their fears. A surge of heat rose in their hearts and rushed straight to their heads. There was also a hint of murderous intent on their faces.

The shocking voice on the Beifu city wall also reached the ears of the soldier commander on the street. In response, the dark street, unwilling to be outdone, also began to echo with a vast voice of encouragement.

"The enemy is about to leave the street, archers pull the strings, ready... shoot, shoot hard!" The commander of the city guard stared at the enemy's footsteps, and when he found that the time was right, he roared.

Immediately, bursts of bangs were heard on the city wall, and dense arrows, with a whistling sound, shot at the enemy a hundred meters away!

"Crossbowmen, get ready, shoot!" The commander of the garrison gave another order after seeing the archers shoot a rain of arrows.

It turned out that dozens of crossbow beds had been set up on the battlements on the city wall.

The huge mechanical crossbow beds, with gears precisely connected together, with the skilled operation of the soldiers, bursts of mechanical collision and friction sounded, and then countless crossbow arrows gushed out from the city wall, cutting through the night, with bursts of breaking air sounds, and with the slight expectations of the guards, shooting at the enemy's square.

"Ah...ah..." After the rain of arrows and crossbow arrows were shot out, bursts of enemy wails came in the dark night, and soon, some torches fell to the ground in response, and bursts of fire smoke rose.

After Dian Wei's troops lit torches to attack the city, Lin Mu also followed them to raise troops. However, Lin Mu was not so reckless to directly attack the city with infantry and cavalry. Instead, he led some soldiers to some houses at the street corner and broke into them.

Then, he flattened the earth wall facing the city lord's mansion, took out the prepared catapult from the high-level marching bag, and set it up!

After setting it up, he took out the huge stone from the marching bag, adjusted it, and threw it out under command.

To be honest, these catapults and huge stones are really hard to carry. If the grid of the marching bag is loaded with ordinary resource items, it can hold 100 units, but if it is loaded with catapults and huge stones, medium-sized ones, one or two feet, will directly occupy one grid; and larger boulders, under the influence of the rules, will directly occupy four or five grids. There is no space for a marching bag to hold a few stones.

This time, Lin Mu entered the Qinglong Secret Realm with the full support of the craftsmen in the Great Wilderness Territory, and he only brought 17 siege catapults, which was very shabby.

However, even though they were few in number, they were still quite effective in attacking the ten-meter-high city wall. Huge stones fell like hail in the enemy group, causing wailing and roaring, and many guards fell down in response.

Lin Mu stood behind a tall, fiery red catapult, watching six soldiers cooperating in the operation.

This huge catapult was the [Red Fire Catapult] that Lin Mu got from his treasure bag!

The Red Fire Catapult was three meters long and two meters high, like a giant beast, with a fierce look on its surface.

After the soldiers carried the huge stone to the catapult, the catapult would automatically coat the stone with a layer of tung oil. After the special inscription on the catapult was added, the huge stone was on fire. After being thrown out, it was like a meteorite, hot and terrifying, and smashed fiercely into the enemy's camp.

These flaming boulders are not like other ordinary catapults that just smash people to death. After landing, they will explode under the huge force, causing secondary damage, which is quite extraordinary!

After using the catapult, Lin Mu kept hearing system prompts. Lin Mu took a quick look and ignored them. Most of them were just prompts for experience gain.

"Fengjin, should we use these 17 catapults to throw out all the reserve boulders before attacking the city, or should we rush forward directly after Dian Wei's army attacks the city wall?" Lin Mu turned his head and asked Feng Zhong next to him.

"My lord, let's rush forward immediately after Dian Wei's army attacks the city wall. With our catapults and their cannon fodder, we should be able to attack the city wall in a short time. At that time, as long as we lead a sharp knife force, we can rush directly into the mansion and harvest the treasures. What do you think, my lord?"

"Okay, Feng Jin, you organize a team of 5,000 people as a sharp knife force to rush directly into the mansion. The other soldiers will stay on the city wall to fight the enemy!" Lin Mu quite agreed with Feng Zhong's suggestion.

At this time, the city lord's mansion should have concentrated its forces on the various city walls. Even if there are ambushes in the mansion, there should not be many, so we can take the risk and go!
