After the marriage was severed, I fled with my golden finger to protect my mother

Chapter 287 Falling into melee

The people were outraged, and seeing them coming over they actually arranged things for them to do, a large group of people soon came out of the town.

This time was different from the previous ones. Not only were there strong men, but there were also many women and children.

"Hey, Mr. Ren, this is not your job. Go back quickly and leave it to us..."

A thin young man had just put a large stone in his backpack when several women tried to stop him.

"A scholar is also a person of flesh and blood. If those... Northern Di invaders come, will they not kill me just because I am... a scholar?"

The young man wiped the sweat off his face, grabbed the backpack held by the women and was about to throw it on his back.

"Don't worry, sisters-in-law. I'm actually quite strong. It's just that I haven't been active for a long time, so I'm not used to it. It will be fine in a while..."

These words were very powerful, but reality gave him a loud slap in the face.

because……

This scholar Ren... fell down due to the weight of the backpack...

The others rushed over to help him up, all of them were in a state of confusion.

Yuxiu stood on the city wall and took in the whole scene.

It is of course a good thing if the people want to participate, but they must also make arrangements based on their actual situation.

The scholar had good eloquence, but in terms of strength, he probably couldn't even match those women.

Sure enough, just as Yuxiu was thinking this, a woman came forward, grabbed the backpack on the ground, threw it on her shoulders with force, and then strode up the stairs beside the city wall with the backpack on her back.

Going up from there, there are two tall catapults.

Then, without further delay, everyone quickly filled their backpacks with stones and carried them to the top of the city wall.

Those with less strength would stand by the pile of stones and be responsible for putting the stones into the backpack, while those with greater strength would carry them to the top of the city wall. Everyone cooperated very well.

Seeing that the scholar went to hug the stone again, Yuxiu hurried to find Xu Yunli and whispered a few words to him.

Soon, people outside the city took other actions.

They were really well prepared this time, and the ladders were also upgraded.

Each ladder is installed directly on the chariot, making it very convenient to move.

There is also a hook-like thing on the top of the ladder. As long as it is placed on the city wall, it can be easily stuck on the buttress.

Seeing such a thing being pushed out from behind the crowd, the guards on the city wall couldn't help but gasp.

How could a small place like their Wulong Town use such a tall chariot ladder?

You should know that such a ladder is not only easy to move, but also very heavy. As long as the two hooks on it are stuck on the buttress, even if the people on it try their best, they cannot push it down.

Fortunately, after observing for a while, I found that the enemy only had three tank ladders like this one.

However, for a small place like Wulong Town, being able to send three chariots and ladders at once was considered a face-giving to them.

If the King of Shannan had not lost his beloved son and specifically said that he wanted a quick victory, this small pass would only be worthy of a ladder.

In addition to these, with the order from the King of Shannan, many Beidi soldiers came out pushing catapults and battering rams.

"Listen, Yuan people inside. Our king is merciful and cannot bear to see innocent people implicated. Now I will give you one last chance. Hurry and send the second young master out to us safely, otherwise..."

A loud voice started shouting again, but this time they finally got a response from here.

“You can send it out!”

"But we have already chopped the dog into eighteen pieces. Which piece do you want?"

“Hahaha… why don’t we throw that beast out first? Don’t let it stink here and ruin our people…”

"Don't you want to take the Second Young Master back? Let that bastard king come out, and we'll let him take him back with his own hands...hahahaha..."

The people on the city wall burst into laughter. Since the other party was coming with such force, they would not let them go even if they chose to remain silent. It would be better for them to fight them with real swords and guns.

King Shannan was almost driven crazy by all this, and without caring about anything else, he immediately ordered an attack on the city.

All of a sudden, the Northern Di people on the opposite side took action. Some of them held up shields and protected battering rams and walked forward, trying to hit the city gate.

The catapults also kept throwing black things onto the city walls.

The chariots and ladders were pushed even faster towards the bottom of the city wall.

Of course, the Yuan Dynasty soldiers on the city wall were not people who would sit and wait to die.

Under the leadership of Yuxiu, those who were good at archery aimed at the Northern Di people running below. As long as they appeared within the range of their bows and arrows, waves of arrows would quickly fall on their heads.

However, the shields used by the Northern Di people were large and strong. Except for Yuxiu's black iron bow and arrow, ordinary arrows could not penetrate them at all. Every time they touched the shield, they would fall to the ground.

So Yuxiu tried her best to aim every arrow at the people holding shields. As long as she could shoot them and create a gap, the others would be exposed.

Then the other archers can take this opportunity to quickly launch another wave of arrows.

Before long, many bodies of the Northern Di people fell near the siege hammer.

But the other side has a lot of people, and as long as someone falls down, someone will immediately rush over to fill the vacancy.

Thanks to the unremitting efforts of the people in the city, the large stones that had been piled at the base of the city wall have now all been transported to the top of the city wall.

Someone also found a flatbed cart, and everyone pushed the cart together to go to other places to look for stones.

Xu Yunli was in charge of operating the catapult. With his order, countless stones as big as watermelons rained down on the opposite side. For a moment, crackling sounds and screams of the Northern Di people were heard everywhere.

Yao Linzi brandished a big knife and led his men to hack and kill the Northern Di people who climbed up the ladders.

As for Xu Yunzhe, he was responsible for commanding and providing support everywhere.

When he had free time, he would stand guard next to a ladder and, together with the soldiers, would hack and kill those who had taken great pains to climb up.

In a flash, both sides were caught in a melee.

Unfortunately, there were too many Northern Di people. Even though Yuxiu and others kept shooting arrows, the battering ram was still pushed under the city gate as those people kept coming up.

"Bang! Bang! Bang..."

Having successfully reached the city gate, the Northern Di people were extremely excited, and their arms pushing the battering rams were particularly strong.

The city gate made loud noises when it was hit, but fortunately it was very strong, and Xu Yunzhe had arranged for people to make some whole wooden supports inside in advance, so there shouldn't be any problems for a while.

But the Northern Di people had more tricks than that. Soon, the catapults over there were no longer throwing stones, but balls emitting black smoke.
