"My God!"

"What is this thing, and why is it so huge?"

"Hey, I seem to have seen this thing before, but I can't remember it for a while, what is it called."

"It's...it's a trebuchet."

"Yes, it is a trebuchet. It is said that this big guy is specially used to attack the city, and the effect is very remarkable."

"Hey... what's wrong with you?"

"How to do?"

"What to do, it's a trebuchet!"

For a moment, the soldiers on the tower were all flustered.

If they were on the regular city wall, then none of them would show such a tense expression.But the place where they are now is the south gate of Beiyu City. This is just a crappy city wall, which can't stop the trebuchet at all.There is no place to hide when defending against trebuchets here, and they will only be beaten passively without any resistance.

Liang Sha, who was standing on the tower, also had a look of pain on his face at this time. He never expected that Liu Mei would send his trebuchet team to Beiyu City.

Now Liu Mei hopes to make a quick decision, take down the Beiyu City with lightning speed, and not give the Yanhuang Kingdom on the opposite side a chance.

"What a plan!" Liang Sha smiled bitterly.

"General, what should we do?" Lieutenant General Li had never seen such a battle, and he said helplessly, "General, if you can't think of a way, I'm afraid the morale of the army will be lost."

"A solution?" Liang Sha stared at him for a while, and then said helplessly: "Immediately order all the generals to lead their own troops and horses, give up defending the south gate, and evacuate all the residents in the south of Beiyu City. Near the south gate, place a bonfire to connect all the residential buildings in Nancheng together, and then set fire to it."

"The general is doing this, I'm afraid...!"

Lieutenant General Li had doubts, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Liang Sha and asked, "Then do you have a better way?"

"Once the Doomsday Legion invades the Beiyu City, then we will have only a dead end, and we have no ability to resist. Now we only have a way to prevent fire. Try to delay the time and wait for the army of the Yanhuang Kingdom." Liang Sha said.

"The general understands." Lieutenant General Li nodded, and then went down to make arrangements.

After a while, only Liang Sha and his guards were left on the tower.

"Liang Sha put down the gun quickly and captured him without a fight. Then this general can give you a decent death. Otherwise, once I attack, then you can wait for the five horses to divide the body." said the iron-masked general on the opposite side.

"If you want to kill me, it depends on whether you have the ability." Liang Sha calmed down a lot at this moment and said, "It's wishful thinking for a guy who doesn't even dare to show his face to want to kill me."

"Whether it's wishful thinking or not, you'll know in a while." The iron-faced general waved his hand, and then the catapults that had just arrived began to get ready.

In order to speed up, some heavy parts on the trebuchet were removed by maintenance personnel.Now it starts to be reassembled, and at the same time, heavy stones are placed on the throwing parts.

Seeing that the other party was starting to assemble, Liang Sha, the siege equipment, waved his hand, and the guards beside him began to evacuate one after another.Liang Sha didn't want his nephews to continue dying.

After a while, the first stone finally flew onto the wall of Beiyu City.

Boom!

The southern city wall of Beiyu City was punched into a big hole. The already fragile city wall swayed for a while, but there was no other performance.

However, Liang Sha knew very well that as long as the catapult on the opposite side attacked with all its strength, the city wall would collapse after a few waves.

After Liang Sha retreated from the city wall, he arranged for people to place some heavy objects in the tunnel at the south gate, trying not to let the Legion of Doomsday easily enter the Beiyu City.

puff!

A soldier who was responsible for carrying stones accidentally appeared at the location of the rockfall and was directly beaten into meat patties by the boulder.

Then from time to time, one or two soldiers would appear and be killed by huge rocks falling from the sky, which cast a layer of frost on Liang Sha's mood.

Fortunately, the range of the city wall to the south is not very wide, so after ten minutes, it has been dealt with.

However, just after Beiyu City made defensive preparations, some cracks finally appeared on the south wall of Beiyu City, and these cracks continued to crack and crack again.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the southern city wall was hardly complete.

Whoosh whoosh...!
A few more big rocks fell from the sky and hit the southern city wall firmly.

The next moment, the city wall, which was not very tall, began to shake violently. While shaking, some pieces of it began to fall, and then under the eyes of everyone, the entire south wall seemed like an old man who couldn't stand firmly. Yes, fell directly to the ground.

Pfft!
The entire Beiyu City was shaking.

The iron-faced general of the Doomsday Legion, after seeing the collapse of the city wall, ordered: "The Doomsday Legion will charge forward, and the Catapult Department will immediately retreat and return to the imperial city."

However, the Doomsday Legion had just rushed into Beiyu City when Liang Sha on the opposite side sneered and said, "Light the fire."

All of a sudden, tens of thousands of arrows were fired from Beiyu City, and those arrows, carrying the fire dragon, rushed into the houses, firewood, and black oil.The entire southern part of Beiyu City became a sea of ​​flames in an instant.

Some soldiers of the Legion of Doom who were not fast enough turned into Pyromen before they could evacuate.

"Retreat, give me the speed to retreat."

The guard of the Doomsday Legion roared loudly.Under his command, the soldiers of the Doomsday Legion began to retreat slowly.

On the other side of the fire, Liang Sha pulled Lieutenant General Li over and said, "This fire can last up to an hour. So after an hour, the main battlefield will be the street fighting centered on the city guard's mansion. You immediately lead the , Enter the surrounding towers to ambush, wait for the Sun of the Doomsday Legion to appear, and then attack and kill."

"The last general takes orders."

Lieutenant General Li nodded, and then led the soldiers and horses of Dongying, and began to make arrangements one after another.

As for Chen Ying's northern camp, Liang Sha personally led them and built a position in the middle, ready to block the attack of the doomsday army at all times.

At the same time, the Meng'an Niu Cavalry Legion, which was speeding up to the north, had surpassed Yan Ming's elite troops and became the closest soldier to Beiyu City.

When Meng A Niu saw Shana, who was on fire in the Beiyu City, he immediately urged: "Accelerate the march, and try to rush into the Beiyu City within an hour."

In the imperial city to the south, Liu Mei looked at the fire in the northern imperial city and sighed, "Liang Sha is also a general. If he is not a traitor, I really don't want to destroy him."

At this time Huang Jin's mansion, he looked in the direction of Beiyu City, and muttered: "It seems that in a short while, this piece of land will belong to the surname Huang again."
