Call of the Other World: Rebuilding the Glory of Zhenbei

Chapter 24: The Power of Throwing Stones, Two Generals Go First

Outside Tianlang Pass, Qin family generals including Qin Yu, Qin Jian, and Qin Hu each led their own troops to launch a fierce attack on Tianlang Pass.

The bandits' attacks came one after another, like endless waves.

Some Yellow Turban soldiers held a shield in one hand to defend against arrows shot from the city wall, and carried a ladder in the other hand. When they rushed to the bottom of the city wall, they immediately pushed the ladder onto the city wall.

Seeing this, the soldiers of Tianlang Pass on the city wall hurriedly used tools to try to push down the ladders, but they found that some of the ladders had barbs on the top. After being placed on the city wall, the barbs had sunk into the stone, and no matter how hard they tried, they could not push them open.

After checking it out, Guo Ju immediately realized the problem and said quickly: "Don't push it anymore. Use rocks and logs to knock down the enemies on the ladders. Also, give me some kerosene and burn all the things that need to be burned!"

No matter what, the ladders are made of wood. Even with the simple fire prevention measures mentioned before, it is impossible to really prevent fire. If attacked with kerosene, these ladders will not last long.

The Yellow Turban bandits struggled to climb up, but halfway up, a large number of rocks and logs fell down. If one person was hit, everyone below would suffer.

"what……"

"Do not……"

The screams could be heard one after another.

At this moment, Qin Hu, Qin Jian and others watched this scene with their own eyes. Although they felt extremely reluctant in their hearts, they had no choice but to watch the soldiers go to their deaths.

The siege continued, but before long, the objects thrown down from the city walls were no longer rocks and logs, but burning kerosene.

The kerosene was full and poured down from the top of the city.

The Yellow Turban bandits who were still on the ladder vehicle were facing a formidable enemy.

The lethality of this thing is much greater than that of rocks and rolling logs. If you are hit by it even a little bit, your flesh will be spread out in pieces. Let alone being hit head-on, the feeling is absolutely worse than death.

But this is far from over.

The real power of kerosene is not limited to this. When a rocket is fired, a ball of fire explodes, making it impossible for the nearby Yellow Turban bandits to escape.

Most of the soldiers attacking the city were cannon fodder refugees from the Yellow Turban Army, and only a small number were regular soldiers of the Yellow Turbans or even the Qin family. These soldiers had limited ability to withstand pressure, and in such a brutal siege, they would unconsciously want to retreat!

Rocks and kerosene were thrown down from the city walls. The thin leather armor and weapons in the hands of the soldiers could not effectively protect themselves from the rolling stones.

No matter how rigorous the training is, ordinary people cannot use their flesh and blood to withstand the impact of rolling stones and wooden beams. The lives of the Yellow Turban soldiers under the wall are as cheap as grass on the ground.

The raging flames shot up into the sky, turning everything into nothingness. The soldiers on the city walls were covered in flames, rolling around and slowly dying in the flames.

"Looks like I have to do it myself! Guards, follow me!"

Qin Hu, the fierce general of the Qin family, who had been trying to hold back due to the barrier of the city wall, is finally ready to take action!
"Dong dong dong."

The war drums beat against the sky, and the sound shook the four directions. Two thousand Qin Hu's personal guards followed the beat of the war drums and slowly rushed over carrying ladders.

"drink."

Qin Yu, who was not far away, was not idle either. He led more than a hundred cavalrymen to move again, shooting arrows at the city wall to suppress their attacks. Guo Ju, who was on the city wall, did the same, commanding the defenders in the city to use bows and arrows to drive away the Yellow Turban cavalry. After several attacks and defenses, Qin Hu's guards finally rushed to the base of the city wall and set up a ladder to climb up the wall again.

Several ladders were seen leaning against the city gate one by one, braving the rain of stones and arrows. Some of the remaining ladders were still hooked on the parapets, and many Yellow Turban bandits also showed their heads one after another.

In front of a ladder, a lieutenant from Tianlangguan was shouting at the top of his lungs, encouraging the panic-stricken militiamen around him to gather into a dense formation and work together to clear out and disperse the enemy troops that were rushing up.

The only way is to fight desperately and never let the bandits gain a foothold in the city gate.

However, just as everyone was about to run quickly, they heard a roar like thunder in a drought.

A burly man in armor leaped over from the ladder, went straight over the parapet, and swung his sword across the wall. Blood splashed everywhere. He rushed forward quickly and slashed down with his sword as fast as lightning, splitting the Tianlang Pass lieutenant who was trying his best to supervise the battle into two pieces. Blood rained everywhere again!
In the midst of the brilliant blood-red, the burly man continued to roar like a tiger, just like a beast rushing into a flock of sheep. He frightened the militiamen gathered on the city wall so much that more than a dozen of them even turned around and ran away.

As long as his feet were firmly on the city wall, Qin Hu could naturally display his skills to his fullest. Wherever the White Tiger and Heavenly Wolf Sword in his hand passed, he chopped down several city defenders who risked their lives to rush forward, and occupied the space in front of the parapet.

"Father, you take a team of soldiers to guard this gap, and I will lead the troops to defeat this enemy force." Qin Hu shouted loudly.

Now the number of Yellow Turban Army soldiers climbing the city wall is limited, so they must guard the gap in the city wall so that subsequent soldiers can climb the city wall continuously.

Otherwise, the hundreds of soldiers on the city wall alone would not be able to capture the wall.

However, under the enemy's continuous attacks, Qin Hu and his men were unable to hold on.

Therefore, Qin Hu planned to rely on his own courage to defeat the enemy first, and then make plans after a certain number of soldiers climbed onto the city wall.

On the battlefield, Qin Hu held the White Tiger Heavenly Wolf Saber in his hand, and his tiger eyes swept around the soldiers and generals, and he shouted, "Brothers! It's time to make achievements! Go! Anyone who has made contributions on the battlefield will be rewarded handsomely after the battle!"

"kill!!!"

The soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army rushed to the city wall frantically, and the two sides engaged in hand-to-hand combat. The battlements of the city wall were almost stained red with blood.

The wall of Tianlang Pass almost became a cemetery for the Yellow Turban Army. One after another, Yellow Turban Army soldiers fell under the wall, and the bricks on the wall were covered with dark red blood.

As more and more Yellow Turban bandits climbed over the parapets using ladders, there were loud exclamations near the city gate tower.

Seeing Qin Hu rushing up to the city gate with great speed and being invincible, he could not be stopped at all. Once he stood firmly on the top of the city wall, the Yellow Turban bandits would rush in like a tide into a damaged ship, and would eventually submerge the gate tower of Tianlang Pass completely.

By then, the city gates will be wide open, and the powerful Yellow Turban army outside the city will continue to pour in. All the soldiers and civilians in Tianlang Pass will then die without a burial place!
Qin Hu, whose face was covered in blood, wiped the blood from the corners of his eyes with his hand.

Heixue's face was ferocious, like a ghost under the sunlight, and he roared, "Kill".

The city wall was like hell on earth, with soldiers constantly falling down and more soldiers climbing up.

There were stumps of limbs and legs, blood like rain, and soldiers' lives were disappearing every inch of the city wall.

In troubled times, human lives are like grass and grass, and lives on the battlefield are like ants.
