The Savage Lady Wants to Kill Me! Reborn on the Path of Cultivation

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Duan Tianyang climbed up with all his might, approaching the edge of the city wall.

At this moment, a pot of hot kerosene poured down from the top of the city. Duan Tianyang was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and he moved sideways in an instant, narrowly avoiding it.

Although the kerosene did not touch him, it mercilessly poured on several soldiers behind him. With screams, they fell from the ladders, rolled on the ground in pain, and the wailing sounds were endless.

Immediately afterwards, a rocket streaked across the sky and hit the kerosene, instantly igniting a raging flame, and more than a dozen Hongxing Army soldiers were killed in the sea of ​​fire.

Many more people were affected by the flames and their bodies were on fire. They screamed and jumped into the moat, but were instantly swallowed by the river and disappeared without a trace.

Even though Duan Tianyang had the cultivation level of Tiangang Realm, he could only wander around the edge of the city wall. He was suppressed by the rebels and could not go any further.

This shows how difficult it is for ordinary soldiers to attack a city.

With the continuous reinforcement of the Hongxing Army, the fighting between the two sides escalated and entered a fierce tug-of-war.

Inside the city gate tower, Zhou Baiyuan was wearing armor, holding a mysterious weapon, and commanding with confidence.

A rebel general came quickly and bowed to report: "Sir, the imperial army has launched an offensive in the East City!"

Zhou Baiyuan looked at him with a sharp gaze and asked, "What's the situation over there? Can they hold on?"

The general replied solemnly: "Although the imperial army is numerous, their formation is disorganized and their offensive is not fierce. It seems that their combat effectiveness is not strong."

Zhou Baiyuan sneered upon hearing this, and said confidently: "I had expected this. The imperial army can scare Dong Zhi and An Qinshan, two useless people, but they can't escape my eyes. This newly formed army has only been around for more than a month, so there is nothing to be afraid of. Our real opponent is always the Hongxing Army!"

After that, he ordered in a deep voice: "Zhang Liao!"

"The general is here!"

"You will lead your troops to patrol the South City and the North City immediately to prevent the enemy from launching a surprise attack. If you discover any enemy forces, report to me immediately!"

"Yes, sir!" Zhang Liao responded and left.

Zhou Baiyuan stared at the Hongxing Army surging outside the city, with a hint of disdain on his lips: "Duan Tianyang, I want to see how you, with only 100,000 people, can shake my Shengluo City!"

As the Hongxing Army's forces gradually gathered at the foot of the city, ladders stood like a forest, and the soldiers climbed up like a tide, their eyes burning with crazy fighting spirit. Some even discarded their armor and shirts, holding sharp blades in their mouths, vowing to attack the top of the city.

Seeing his offensive being frustrated repeatedly, a sturdy warrior beside Duan Tianyang was extremely anxious. He resolutely put his long sword behind his back, tightly grasped his shield, stepped onto the ladder, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, follow me to charge into the battle, cut off the enemy's head, and avenge our fallen comrades!"

His words inspired the soldiers around him, and he climbed hard. Facing the rain of arrows, he held up his shield and moved forward bravely. The sounds of arrows hitting the shield came one after another, but failed to stop him from moving forward.

Seeing this, the rebels on the city wall threw stones in an attempt to stop his attack.

A rebel was hit by an arrow and fell, and then more rebels followed. Stones whizzed down from the top of the city and headed straight for the warrior's head.

He flexibly turned sideways and swung his shield violently, knocking a rock off the edge, causing it to roll down the edge of the ladder.

He looked up at the top of the city wall and saw that the rebels were still densely packed. So he turned and shouted towards the arrow tower: "Aim at the top of the city wall and suppress the enemy's firepower!"

The arrow tower, as a siege weapon, has a unique design. It is trapezoidal in shape and its height is similar to that of the city wall.

The bottom is equipped with wheels to facilitate flexible movement on the battlefield.

During a siege, the soldiers on the arrow tower can form a horizontal confrontation with the enemy troops defending the city, launching a fierce rain of arrows and putting tremendous pressure on the enemy.

In addition, the arrow tower can be close to the city wall, providing an easy way for the attacking soldiers to jump onto the top of the city wall.

However, the moat surrounding the city of Saint-Lo became a major obstacle to the arrow tower's attack.

Although the soldiers could use ladders to cross the moat, the bulky arrow towers were difficult to cross.

Therefore, the Hongxing Army could not directly use the arrow tower to attack the top of the city, and could only rely on the arrows on the arrow tower to kill the rebels from a distance.

Hearing the warriors' shouts, the archers of the Hongxing Army on the nearby arrow towers concentrated their firepower on the top of the city, and the two sides launched a fierce rain of arrows duel.

Arrows flew back and forth in the air, and the screams of soldiers on both sides rose and fell continuously.

Although their companions in the front were constantly being shot into hedgehogs, the soldiers in the rear were not afraid. They quickly filled the gaps and continued to shoot arrows out.

Under the tight suppression of the two nearby arrow towers, the rebels on the city wall hid behind the arrow stacks and dared not show their heads again.

Seeing this good opportunity, the warriors climbed hard and quickly approached the edge of the city.

Arrows from both sides attacked again like locusts. Although the warriors held shields, they could hardly block the rain of arrows from both sides at the same time.

In an instant, he was hit by several arrows in the shoulder, arm, ribs, and leg.

But the warrior gritted his teeth, did not make a sound, and did not fall from the ladder. Instead, he climbed to the top of the city wall with a roar.

Standing on the arrow nest, the warrior saw the rebels densely following him, and he was immediately furious. He let out a deafening roar, leaped into the enemy group, and scattered the rebels.

He threw away his shield, quickly drew out the long sword from his back, and launched a fierce sweep at the rebels around him.

With a flash of the knife, the abdomen of several rebels was cut open, blood gushed out, and they fell down screaming.

Just as several rebels fell, several more rebels rushed up from behind. The warrior suddenly turned around and stabbed with his backhand.

With a "puff" sound, the blade accurately pierced through the chest of a rebel, and with the remaining force, it penetrated deeply into the chest of the rebel behind him.

Two lives were killed with one strike. The warrior roared angrily and swung his arms violently, throwing the two corpses hanging on the sword out of the city wall.

As more and more rebels gathered around him, he was gradually surrounded.

The people around him raised their shields, forming an indestructible wall that trapped him in the middle.

He struggled hard, but failed to break free from the cage woven by the shield.

Suddenly, swords and knives stabbed out from the gaps in the shields, "Puff, puff, puff!" With dull sounds, the warriors' bodies were pierced with holes and blood gushed out.

Blood gushed out of his mouth and nose, and he finally collapsed to the ground powerlessly.

As a warrior, although he died heroically, he had fulfilled his responsibility and opened a gap for his subsequent companions.

While the rebels were fighting with the warriors, the soldiers of the Hongxing Army, with the help of ladders, surged to the top of the city like a tide.

The rebels were busy besieging the warriors and did not anticipate the sudden attack from the rear.

Many of the rebels' weapons were still stuck in the bodies of the warriors, and before they could be pulled out, the Hongxing Army came down like a force of gods and launched a fierce attack from behind.

Amid the flash of swords and sabers, several rebel soldiers fell to the ground. Some were killed on the spot, while others were seriously injured and rolled on the ground wailing in pain.

At this time, the Hongxing Army was also blood-thirsty, waving their spears and swords, frantically stabbing the wounded soldiers on the ground.

After the rebels on the city wall were temporarily repelled, more rebels emerged on the walls on both sides.

Armed with crossbows, they launched intensive shooting at the Hongxing Army that had climbed onto the city walls.

Arrows poured down like a rainstorm. Soldiers of the Hongxing Army fell to the ground one after another, their bodies full of crossbow arrows, looking as miserable as hedgehogs.

"Kill! Kill all enemies!" The rebel general gave a deafening roar among the crowd.

The rebels' arrows rained down on the city walls like a tide, one wave after another, mercilessly killing the soldiers of the Hongxing Army, whether they were standing or falling.

Under this horrific rain of arrows, the scene on the city wall was horrific.

The corpses piled up like a mountain, one layer on top of another. After each layer fell, it was immediately covered by dense arrows. Then a new layer fell and was once again covered by the rain of arrows...

This cycle repeats itself endlessly.
